Mutliplayer: Weapon Preference

[Dark Reaver]

A simple idea for multiplayer. A setting which when enabled automatically replaces your current weapon with a preferred one on the same slot, if that's nearby of course.

Basically the following scenario:

CakeEater234 picked up Alien Pistol. CakeEater234 has this setting enabled and Pistol C-01p is set 'preferred' for Slot 1 because the other pistols suck. CakeEater234 steps on a Pistol C-01p. Alien Pistol is replaced with Pistol C-01p.

You could set weapons for other slots as 'preferred' too, for example Shotgun C-01s as slot 3 or Assault Rifle CS-RC for slot 2.

However, you wouldn't need to adjust it for all the slots. If you, for instance would say that 'I don't care which railgun I get' then you could leave that on 'Default', which means weapon preference wouldn't work on slot 4.

I don't see any negative sides of this. Any thoughts?

Idk, i been familiar with this pb 2 system that you can use button q to quickly change your last used weapons/favorite weapons. And in settings you can change if your character chooses the new weapon or not, changing weapon automatically is annoying so i keep that button on no. But im neutral about this.

This is nothing like that. This would basically prevent you from pressing backspace that often thus make it less annoying to change weapons

I really think it's a good idea, prevent from struggling to get a the gun you want when there are a lot packed in one place, and there's no downside if you can choose to set it as default.

I like the idea.

However, I think it would be better if you had to press a button to pick up a weapon. Rather than just walking over it.

Agreed with this. Instead of having to hit v, if you already have say a slot 2 rifle, and you want to pick up a minigun, you should just hit v on it and it'll swap it out
