It worked like this until about a week ago, and then it changed. Change it back!
If you are switching weapons in combat you are normally switching between your main and your secondary weapon. Especially if you are using a Sniper Riffle or Laser Riffle and someone gets close, or you are under fire and you have run out of amo. In these situations you need to switch weapons quickly and consistently. It is a matter of life and death!
You normally do not switch to a Nano Hive, Drop Uplink, or Nanite Injector when you are under fire. You look for cover to do this. You can afford the little extra time and effort required to hold down the button and select what you want to switch to.
If your suit does not have a secondary weapon slot, then the one tap should switch to your first equipment slot, so you can decide what takes priority by what you place in that slot. |

I haven't experienced any change to this - I still tap R2 and it brings up my secondary weapon, tap R2 again and back to my main.
Worked like that last night and this morning. |

You may be experiencing Sony's legendarily shoddy work at making controllers. My condolences to your wallet. |

Could you slide an equipment slot so it functions as a secondary weapon but is equipment. Would make switching to injectors soooo much quicker. Using the wheel is easy now but I could see a benefit from this setup. |

Making this an option that could be configured would be awesome. Or maybe make it a standard feature of the Logistic suits since they can't carry a sidearm. |

Darn, if it is just me, then it is unlikely to be fixed. Every time I just tap R2 I get the Nano Hive instead of my Submachine Gun.
I think my suggestion to have it switch to the first equipment slot when there is not secondary weapon is good though. Do I remember correctly that Logi suits donGÇÖt have a secondary weapon slot? This makes the mechanics of setting up the default for the one tap switch easier. Just make it go to the farthest left (closest to the weapon) equipment slot. Let the Logi decide what to put in that slot. |

Using the F keys or numericals should switch between weapons/equipment for those who use KB/M.
Having to use a radial with a keyboard baffles me. |

It looks like I was just pulling the trigger too hard. I thought that pushing the button once changed weapons and holding the button allowed you to change to equipment. It is actually related to how hard you pull the trigger apparently.
It is going to take some practice to learn to tap the button lightly when I have someone shooting at my in CQC, because frankly, that is the situation 90% of the time when I need to change weapons.
Now something for Logi to try: If you pull the button hard and let go, do you consistently switch to the same equipment slot? Because when I pull the button hard without moving the stick I always get whatever is in my equipment slot. (I run Assault suit.) |

Please introduce this "bug", or make it an optional behavior.
I use equipment a lot and would prefer not to have to fumble around with the caps lock key and mouse to get the radial menu to pick the right widget. |

Sometimes when i click R2 to change to alt weapon, my main weapon starts a reloading cycle, which about 10% of the times gets bugged and wont fire. |
