Hey everyone

I have been playing the engineer for a while and thought it would be more convenient if the engineer would be able to switch between the different weapons in the skill point system something similar to how the other classes switch their weapons.

So lets say you got the flamethrower on the 7th slot in your skillbar then a small button, just like the other classes, would allow you to switch to the flamethrower and reverse by the use of the normal change weapon key on your keyboard. In case you got two skill point weapons in your skillbar then a small menu would allow you to choose which weapon should be associated with the hotkey.

Do you think it would be a bad or a good idea to implement something like this?

That would actually slow down your ability to swap. Swap weapon includes a cooldown, but engineer kits don’t.

That of course would be a problem, but then again that could also be countered by not having this in combat cooldown. Anyway after sleeping on the topic I realized you can just put the shortcut key for your normal swapping weapons to the specific utility slot. I don’t know why I never thought of that xD
