Mouse Wheel Weapon Switch Problem

Games Halo Infinite
1

This might seem like a small issue, but the mouse wheel is an actual problem for this game. You can accidently switch to the same weapon because there is no delay. This is like the only issue I have with the game on keyboard/mouse

Agreed. Itā€™s the only pc game I know of that has this issue. I remapped the weapon swap key because of this. It was a problem with mcc and it remains a problem with infinite. There really needs to be a swap delay with the mouse wheel.

Yep, I noticed it in the MP beta and it is still present in the campaign. This should have been fixed by now.

Is there going to be any fix on this, 343? Iā€™ve tried exterior programs and nothing.

Other games know I just want to swap to my other weapon when I flick the wheel, only Halo Infinite things every single step is a swap and brings me right back to my uselessly empty weapon when I do the same. (Works fine in Apex Legends, Doom Eternal, the list goes on.)

Iā€™ve experienced this same issue in warzone also. Not sure it was as bad but ya really wish they would fix this. Mouse wheel is perfect button to use for weapon switch but of course it has to be working right

Adding on to this issue. Very frustrating for a game that runs so smoothly otherwise. Havenā€™t had this scrollwheel issue with any other game. So many campaign and MP deaths because I cycled back to the same weapon.

343 doesnā€™t care for KB&M players because as the copium induced playerbase says, ā€œhalo is a controller gameā€.

Iā€™m so glad I found this thread. Iā€™ve been having issues with this since launch of the MP and I had NO idea what was going on. This is a constant issue since I use Mwheel for swapping in all my other games. Like others have said, I hope 343 puts out a fix for this, but at least now I know it isnā€™t my mouse (or just affecting me).

just rebind to another key, mouse wheel is a terrible choice for weapon swap anyway imo

I even bought a new mouse with a much clickier thick wheel that doesnā€™t spin fast, it has groove ticks so you can hear and feel when you go up or down one notch, and yet I still sometimes double swap. No clue why Infinite specifically has this issue.

You know now that I read this, I have noticed that the switch overlap has led to some weird moments where Iā€™m frantically trying to pull out the right weapon.

Even with the mechanical feedback ā€˜ticksā€™ on my mouse it seems like Iā€™m struggling to keep the weapon I want out when it should be a simple switch.

Lmao mouse wheel is a bad option for weapon swap? How can that be? Iā€™m not using that finger because my gun is empty

This.
Countless deaths and frustration before remapping to a button on the mouse.
No other game I ever played on PC has had this problemā€¦only Haloā€¦ Sad

Iā€™ve been looking for a fix ingame and thereā€™s none. Please fix this, itā€™s such an easy thing (as a SDE and hobby game developer, I can say thatā€¦)

Just rebind it to a different key. Scroll wheel weapon switching is a bad habit to get into if youā€™re primarily a PC gamer because scroll wheels fail after common use and in games with multiple weapons and forms of equipment, it literally slows you down to scroll through all of them, plus thereā€™s a chance for inaccuracy and landing on a piece of equipment you didnā€™t intend to. The number keys are your friend in a situation like this. Weapon switching should be done with precision and not a panic flick of the scroll wheel.
