Standarize special hotkeys


(robustWonder) #1

Right now it seems that thrown consumables like heal pack and ammo packs are on different keys.

Heal packs are on the Q key and Ammo packs are on the E key.

This is not very intuitive and easily messes up new players when they switch between characters. Even vets can mess up and toss the wrong item down because the key are not standarized.

Please set all tossed consumables to the same key across all characters.

But but…
I’ve already accustomed to the controls :frowning:

Q is primary perk for everyone, E is secondary. Healthpacks are primary on Sawbonez, Ammo packs are secondary on Skyhammer.

And thats why it is retarded. Essentially same actions for different mercs are marked to different ability types.
There should be an option to customize those, eg what ability is primary and what is secondary.

Many people have asked for this for years.

Please…please do this

I get so pissed when I play Sparks, and I throw a med pack instead of the revivr, because I’m so used to Nader.

it needs to be standardized to stop the frustration of getting a new character and using the wrong special due to muscle memory. Nothing kills fun like bringing out your res gun while trying to toss a med pack in battle.

Or tossing your airstrike marker while trying to toss an ammo pack.

Is this thread really happening?

Yes, because this is “Beta” and you know once it is released you will just see the same thing again.
