Simple recommendation here for swapping ammo on the fly either new keybind “T” for instance is currently unused and comfortable or more preferably HOLD “R” to either reload the other type or bring up a selection wheel like emotes but for shotgun shells. If possible something that should accompany this is displaying the currently selected rounds in the lower left with the current ammo HUD. I realize this is easy for me to say and hard for you guys to code, but the change of new inventory (which after getting used to I like) makes ammo swapping especially when out of ammo very difficult.
Cheers all hope this is helpful and becomes useful.

Remember this game is also on console so they’ll have to consider all platforms and how it’ll work together.
Correction: it is currently unused by you. You can’t talk for everybody else.
For example, “T” is used by me and it opens in-game chat for me.
Quick ammo swap has been asked before and i, personally, don’t see point for it since you can swap ammo from inventory as well. And if mastering the hotkeys, one can do it fast.
In the event of running out of ammo in the middle of combat, you have 2 other weapons to switch to.
Also, the need of opening the inventory (thus exposing yourself to damage) creates a good spot for different tactics, where you have to find a safe spot where to make the ammo switch, rather than: run and gun, press 1 button to change ammo and run and gun more.

Holding R1 on a PS4 controller would do fine, currently used to switch fire modes by tapping it.

Was a simple suggestion to add a bind for it or as noted for console a hold to swap no need to attack something so specific that’s not default we should always be able to change things.
And 2 other weapons is great if you have them… starting a solo or 2 player Guerilla run your outta bullets, fast. And with a glock and a walther we cant assign them to any slot so ammo swap is very useful and will be intuitive for new players coming to the game. This is less of a late game problem exception being shotguns but still useful for those of us who want to make the proper use of all the resources we have at hand. Cheers mate.
This is irrelevant if those requests were made before the inventory system’s usability was kneecapped.
Swapping ammo on the fly a month ago was a semi-trivial task. Today it’s an involved process.
Keep it friendly, guys. IMO, we’ve always needed an ammo swap key, like in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. People keep referencing the grid inventory as superior but honestly, going back into the grid inventory to change ammo still cost valuable seconds and made you lose track of visuals due to the full-screen UI.
A simple keystroke to switch between the two types of ammo (or three, if we count the launcher) would still have to be a tactical decision since you’d need to swap out mags, but it’ll do tons for convenience’s sake.
It’d be worse for shotguns, though.
