Why does my weapon swap key randomly cause me to drop my weapon?

Issue not resolved, but none of you are helpful. I’ll send a ticket in since I’ve found other people with my problem.

I’m not holding it. I’m tapping it.

If it’s supposed to do that, where do I disable dropping my weapon at all with a long press?

Dropping a weapon is a new action, in the event you want to just dump it or also use it for logistical purposes, like passing a sniper to a friend.

By default, its done by holding the weapon swap key, just tap it to cycle to the other.

In the controller settings I believe. You can just unbind the drop weapon action all together.

If you’re just tapping it, but the game thinks you’re holding it, then I think you’re controller is on its last leg

Never accidentally dropped my weapon, and you can’t unbind the action because it’s on controller.

Sounds to me like your controller is dying.

I’m not using a controller. None of you read the post.

I get this issue too, drives me mad!!

Sometimes happens when picking up from a weapon rack too.
