I have always had a bit of a problem with the weapon-changing mechanics in this game:
Switching between primary and secondary is easy but I have noticed that the selection wheel will often not respond quickly or accurately enough.
I've especially noticed this when running REs, if I have planted a remote explosive at an objective you'd think my character would find a way to easily be able to hit that single button to detonate it when someone starts to hack, instead I end up having to quickly extract myself from a firefight, spending five seconds selecting, re-selecting and re-re-selecting the damn option before it even brings it up.
If it is not glitched (hands still holding an invisible gun) I have between 1 and 4 seconds (nowadays with people upping their hacking its usually around 1-2) to detonate it, a simple operation that is also messed up because for some reason there is often a lag between changeovers (1/2-2 second) where pressing L1 does absolutely nothing even though I can clearly see that I have switched to my remote explosives.
Is this only me? And if not is there any planned fix or update to the UI for this? |

Exactly, or even an ability to detonate an RE without having to switch weapons since technically you are just pushing a button on your arm, though peoe already have enough complaints about the RE and they will probably just say its way too OP or something... |

I resolved this by putting all my Rep Tools in the same Equipment slot for all of my fittings. Now I can easily switch due to muscle memory, and it usually only takes me about 1 second. I haven't used REs before but I do plan on trying them someday and I will probably use the same trick when I do.
Well that's just it, I use REs a lot and have memorized the location but there seems to be a random lag in the wheel that will sometimes stop right on your sidearm instead of the RE slot, it would be cool if they could remap the buttons and have start or select be used to detonate the RE, it would be harder to accidentally detonate them then too and seems like it would feel more immersive.
Also, on a bit of a side note, has anything been mentioned about the ability to detonate individual RE? Maybe if they have a quick button to detonate (like start) it could blow then all up but of you do actually take the time to switch to RE you could have an option to select individual explosives to detonate |
