hot keys for switching weapons

There needs to be a faster way to swap your equipped weapons. Pausing the game and the waiting to load the icons then selecting your weapons with a curser is too clunky and slow for combat situations. My suggestion is that the Dpad buttons could be used to cycle through a few hotkey slots for each weapon type. Maybe 3 slots for each type so that you could have access to a full array damage in your primary, special, and heavy weapons during combat. The gestures currently assigned to those buttons are cool but they could be reassigned. Perhaps the dpad buttons could work for gestures when you press back/select to bring out your ghost so that you could still use them but you would need to press two buttons instead of one. I think its reasonable though that switching weapons be put in a more pertinent position in the button lay out than dancing. To go a bit further with this.... The fourth directional button could be used to change subclass. This one is a bit more controversial in my opinion.

  • I couldn't agree more. How about we put them on the arrow pad, when you hit the touch pad. So when you hit the touch pad you get Triangle for Orbit, Square for sparrow, and the arrow pad swaps your other weapons. I think that would work well.

  • Yes, making button usage more convoluted is a good thing in games...

  • Disagree . when in combat all you're equipment should be locked. So that you can't change weapon while in combat.

      Should make the arrow pad work like this if you ask me in the tower keep the pointing and what not but in mission make it similar to last of us up down for ammo packs and glimmer adds and left right for secondary and primary

      • I agree! I'm tired of pausing to change between snipe and fusion rifle. Especially when I can't equipped more than one exotic weapon at a time.

      • I see wat ur saying but u could just switch after u die while in respawn screen besides u lose ammo when u switch weapons during the game
