A recommendation for Pc's mouse wheel

One of the very annoying problems on Pc is that I find myself (and I'm sure others do too) accidentally switching to a power weapon constantly instead of my kinetic or energy. I thought a good idea would be to make the mouse wheel only switch between kinetic and energy weapons, and have the power weapon be a different binding (like pressing the mouse wheel button). I find this very annoying when I try to change to my other weapons in the middle of a gun fight, but instead I switch to my power weapon and die. This isn't really a problem in PvE, but it's a problem in PvP, in my opinion. Thank you for reading :) I'm having a blast with the beta, and can't wait to see what you guys will do next.

  • Like the original comment said, just familiarize yourself with 1 2 3. Even better, find key bindings that are easier for you to hit while in combat. I just used the number bindings because it was way easier than having to scroll, due to things you mentioned lol.

  • Bind the two primaries to mouse buttons 4 and 5.

    • Yea, I ended up just pressing 1 and 2 to switch weapons. If they don't add it you could probably just change the scroll wheel to act like a 1 and 2 button.

      • You must go to this location in file explorer: %appdata% then Bungie -> DestinyPC -> prefs then edit file cvars.xml Replace settings previous_weapon and next_weapon to be "unused!unused". Instead of them being "mouse wheel up!unused" and "mouse wheel down!unused". You can now map any other action to "mouse wheel up" and "mouse wheel down".

          • You can actually remap the "Switch Weapon" to a mouse wheel "click". This way a single click will only change between Kinetic and Energy weapons, and holding will change to heavy weapon, just like console.

          • Normally the [~] key will swap between your kinetic and energy weapon. I rebound it to [z] to make it easier for myself to use, but I would love to see something like this implemented.

          • Yeah have the same annoyance. Maybe set mouse wheel to the same as ~ and then just use 3 for power weapon. But that's assuming ~ just switches between kinetic and energy.
