Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
So the SL gets it in the head and goes down for the count. You quickly scan the area for any lurking perps. The area is clear. You run towards the SL, getting ready to go prone and you wip out ... the Rockets?!!! Press another key, now it is the grenades?!!! Uh... the defib is supposedly set to key number 6... BANG BANG!! I just killed the SL with the pistol! But my keys were all working the map before?
I have run into a wierd issue where my key bindings seems to switch between maps. Sometimes is it the result of going from Voss to Baur. Other times I did nothing, not even change from Rockets to Smoke or other. Do anyone have this problem? Is there a cache I can wipe out? Reinstall maybe?
PS. I actually key bind the Defib and Medipak on my mouse... could this be it?Imaging a real super kewl 21st signature here

Re: Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
I really don't have any answers but with my game, it seems like the binds are always different (except for knife, primary, and nades). It seems to depend on the team, kit selection, order of kit selection (2 spots), and randomness?
It is truly annoying not finding that defib in time and/or getting shot in the process because you are too slow.
I think using your keybind idea might be useful... Going to try that out - if only my mouse had more buttons

Re: Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
I believe the 1st and 2nd accessory slots switch with certain Assault guns. I forget which ones tho =(. Always equip a Baur (or Voss) and you'll get the same hotkeys. I don't know about the Krylov and Scar, which ones they use.

Re: Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
the only switching I know of that happens all the time is the default vs unlock main assault weapon.
with the voss/baur rockets are 5 and defib is 6
with the krylov/scar defib is 5 and rockets are 6
if your problem continues I'd try a reinstall to clean it out, could be a file corruption.Reapator, overlord of ponies

Re: Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
It's a regular axe I grind, I feel for you. Switching off the default gun swaps the slots, but with a little fenagling I think you can switch them around.
Before a round, I always make sure to double-check my slots before I enter the game. Before I did that, and before I realized what was mentioned above, I was regularly pissed off at the apparent "randomness" of it."But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother.

Re: Key Binding Switch-a-Roo
Ah, thanks for the info. I have this problem as well, it really confused me, as I regularly switch between the default weapons and the unlocks.
