Petition: Remove scroll to pistol when player has two primary weapons

in General Discussion
As the title says, when a player has two primary weapons, 1 and the mouse wheel should never scroll to the pistol. The pistol should have a separate bindable key in these instances.

    yes same with when you have 2 weapons and pull a flash and go back to your weapons your most recent should come up first. I was playing earlier I had an opfor shotgun and m24 sniper. I had the shotgun out, pull a flash to get enemy to come at me, I switch off flash to gun and what do you know instead of the gun I was using before I pulled the flash the shotgun the m24 comes up and I die.

    The scroll binding makes perfect sense, the binds are called "next weapon" and "prev weapon" which includes the pistol as it's a weapon right? But either the bind "primary weapon should allow to switch between 2 primary weapons once you picked the up or the "next weapon (hold to drop)" should exclude pistol.

    I'll sign that :+1:

    Irks me that it swaps to pistol on mouse scroll with 2 primaries, I'd be happy if pistol wasn’t even on the scroll with the 1 primary and rather have it on a key.

    P for pistol sounds good :)
    If my trollery drives you crazy, you'd better put on your seatbelt.

    You can bind your pistol on whatever key you want to already.

    In doing that.. does that remove it from the scroll?

    No, that's the issue. But removing it from the scroll otherwise wouldn't make sense because the scroll includes the direction you cycle trough weapons. Unless you have cycle though grenades activated (lol, there are actually people using that) you will cycle through max. 2 weapons. Cycle order would be irrelevant and the bind could be replaced by a single key instead of 2.

    I can see this presenting problems because, if you have, say, an M24 and an M4, and you run out of M4 ammo and don't have time to reload, I sure as heck don't want to go to the M24. :D

    That's what a pistol key is for. Basically in order to use pistol what everyone is suggesting is you would have to press your pistol key. It would be gone from weapon cycle via 1 key or mouse scroll.

    Then there should be a bind to switch to your pistol specifically.

    There is. The problem is the pistol being in the cycle of weapons via the 1 key or mouse scroll.

    I guess "equip primary weapon" should cycle between the primary and the gun that you pick up. But let's say you switch to your pistol and press primary, which weapon should it switch too? I don't know I'm just trying to think of scenarios that our new idea wouldn't work or something..

    Know one thing for sure, you can scroll down the isle to pick up some Kleenex :'( would help some of these gents. I kid... kidd... I like the danger of pulling the pistol.

    It should switch to the weapon you previously had out before you pulled your pistol.
