[SOLVED] Serious Problem with Weapon sets

The missing option to force a skill on a specific weapon set is causing a serious problem.
Xbow shot 1 and 2 from time to time invert themselves randomly assigning ammo types and consuming both ammunitions.
Reload button get stuck randomly and doesnt perform the action forcing you to use 1 crossbow until it unstucl by itself.

I'll be glad if someone tells me i'm trippin and how to do weapon swap properly, thanks.

After some further testing can provide more details.

On controller:
Xbow shot 1 - LB with permafrost bolt
Xbow shot 2 - RT with fragmentation round

Figured out that to assign a skill to weapon set 2 is enough to bind it on the secondary weapon bar, though this give no visual indication on the skill icon, the old way was way better.

Shoot xbow 1 skill and immediately weapon swap before realoding leving it with 0 bolts.

Shoot xbow 2 to perform the desired combo, when you swap back to xbow 1 it's unable to reload, it instead load permafrost bolt on xbow 2 and viceversa.
It just ignores 1 xbow and behave like you're switching between ammunition instead of swapping weapons.

To get unstuck you have to load the basic bolt on the glitched xbow then reload it's proper ammo.

I think this due to the fact you removed/forgot the Skill Option to force the skill on a specific weapon set.

Anyone else?

You guys need to bring back the option to force a skill to be used on a specific weapon set.
Or explain how to do it, multiple reports of this issue, it's game breaking and the most annoying thing ever experienced since launch.

I tested in PS5, too.

Weapon Set 1: permafrost bolts
Weapon Set 2: fragmentation rounds (works with any other weapon, too)

If you shoot and switch to another weapon with an assigned skill and the reload did not take place, it leaves you with 0 ammo.

You can, like with only one weapon set, manually load the ammo before you shoot, but then it reloads twice before shooting. At least it didn't stuck at 0 ammo and cannot shoot.

So the flow for the bug looks as follow
Permafrost shot -> immediately fragmentation shot -> auto reload fragmentation only -> permafrost cannot shoot anymore until manually reloading

The workaround is at the moment (so same flow as, with only one xbow)
Permafrost shot -> manual reload ammo for fragmentation round -> fragmentation shot -> manual reload ammo permafrost bolts -> permafrost shot -> and so on.
But in this case the reload for the other weapon set happens twice, and takes double time (1.2 seconds instead of 0.6 for example)

@IILU81II#8410
for weapon set binding you can open the skill binding menu, put the weapon shot 1 or 2 where you want and assign in advanced info the ammo type to WS 1 or 2
Then i does not randomly load the ammo. (it loads the ammo usually in the last shot WS, if not bind to only one)

Maybe this will help you at the moment.

i was actually able to bind xbow shot 1 and 2 on my bar and assign skills to 1 and 2 properly thanks to a guy that told me they moved the options.
Yeah it's a weird but man i can swap weapons...i dont mind manually reloading if it get stuck.
Didnt notice the double reload though, i'll pay attention.
The workaround this way is much easier tho, shoot perma let it reload then weapon swap to frag and do the same.


Here's the change in case someone missed it too:

NEW: Added the option to assign your equipped weapon(s) to both of your weapon sets instead of needing to use different items in each weapon set. This can be enabled by right clicking the weapon set icon on keyboard and mouse, or holding Y/triangle with the weapon highlighted on controller.
