Spawn Weapon Switch

Post by EagleReloaded »

Pretty incidental on the bug scale, but if you're spectating someone whilst waiting to spawn and they're using a WeaponBank other than 3 the moment you spawn, you'll spawn with that particular WeaponBank selected, providing you have it of course.

I'm not able to reproduce this.

I have noticed spawning with the wrong weapon on occasion, but that doesn't seem to be the cause, or at least some other element is required. My impression was that sometimes you spawn with the last weaponbank you had selected, but I'm not sure about that either.

Perhaps it's not as consistent as I thought but whenever I've spawned with a weapon other than the normal one it's been after I was spectating someone with something else selected - perhaps it's something more complex like they have another bank selected and change bank just as you spawn, I'm not sure.

It happens to me if I have been using pistol, when i respawn with mp40/thompson then it changes to pistol, just like riflenades sometimes that happens with them to, surprised it was never fixed actually pretty obvious 'bug'.

If you can give reliable steps to reproduce it, then it would might be an obvious bug. Just dying with a pistol out doesn't do it.

A demo might help. Or it might not. I know it has happened to me (worst is spawning with a grenade out and drawgun off), but I've never pinned down what causes it.

Telling us you have the demo doesn't help if you don't post it :x

Just FWIW, ping may be a factor in whether this happens or not.

Only vaguely related, but I find it annoying when you hold your weaponbank 2 bind during the last few seconds of warmup, so you will whip out the pistol instantly upon "fight," it makes the swapping sound like 5 times. :curse:
