Here’s Xbox controller mapping and i don’t see a free button for that feature:

Exactly my thought. 
Only benefit for quick specialization switch would be for run and gun players, so they can switch from Vanguard to Marksman, quick-scope the machines without any penalty for ADS aim and then back to Vanguard for added protection.

Thank you, miss…
But this confirmed my fear.
ALTHOUGH…
On PC you can use key combinations, can this be done on cosoles as well?
Example: L1-X?
Or Square-O?
Possible? Yes. Practical? Not so much.
It’s easy to miss the timing of pressing two buttons down at the same time, which can lead to an undesired effect (e.g game registers the input of 1st or 2nd button, but not both at the same time). Hence why most console game bindings are limited to the buttons available, while avoiding binds that require to press down two buttons at once.
Also, console controllers are designed in a such way where only 6 fingers are used for input, while on PC, you can use all 10 of your fingers for input + hand movement on mouse for looking around.

And if they would do it like R/L with a “normal” key?
Or, could they use the sticks somehow?
I don’t know if console controllers can be rebinded in GZ. If they can, it would give some possibilities. If not, it’s going to be hard for console players.
Just look the image above and try to figure out which of the two buttons should be pressed at once to activate that cheesy feature.

I’d guess for this (and other things) to work on the console versions of the game, they would have to dedicate one of the keys to work sort of like a shift key on the keyboard. That would open up a whole other set of available functions. But that should have been done from the beginning.

Well, they won’t ever give it to PC users, if Consoles can’t have it, I fear.
And… rightfully so… no?

Yeah, if they want to keep the game “unified” between platforms, and possibly somewhere down the line allow cross platform play, for sure they need to keep things simple. A shame for PC users, but I’m used to it by now playing games being limited to the limits of consoles.

IMHO, and I’m not kidding, consoles should be banned by law.
Not only are the console users a victim to the system (unable to upgrade, or even FIX it in case of failure), but these systems deprive us PC gamers from console-specific games. :’(
Non-mouse-inverters are no true gamers. 
I have to agree. The term “specialization” kind of contradicts the idea of a quick switch.
Consoles drive game development nowadays. The sad thing about this is that if they wouldn’t exist, PC gaming would do this.
However, if consoles wouldn’t exist, someone would invent them. “Say we have a cheap gaming PC, already because of the numbers we can produce. And games can be easily developed for them because they don’t have to adopt to a plethora of different hardware. Wouldn’t that be great?” Someone would do it, I’m sure.

Well, first they must be able to do this on console…
Which requires a key (combination)…
While I agree in that sense, I’ll use it while it lasts, even if thats means going through the menu (which I’m quite fast at doing now, but it’s a hazzle) 
It’s in the game to be used by whoever wants to use it, and that I shall! 
And if the devs will keep current system in place, I stand by my original post 100% - the request remains!

Sir, with all due respect…
First of all: it has to be POSSIBLE for consoles as well…
If they can figure out this one, then hell yes, I agree.
Though I won’t ever use it myself. 
It could be made possible on consoles if they would allow one key to do more than one thing. On the xbox example above, perhaps press and hold B for x amount of time? Or the X button when there’s nothing to interact with? So possible yes. A good solution for this? Probably not.

I’m an Xbox guy and this has never been an issue for me. I can switch my specializations from the skill tree menu in the middle of combat and have plenty of time with taking no damage. I don’t really think the console kids care tbh

I suggested key combos for consoles as idea:
Is considered impractical, seems.
With my second dual specialization character (Hacker/Engineer) I’d like to yet again push for this.
- A key that allows you to switch between actives
and - Display active spec. on the HUD (and in the case of Hacker, display cooldown as well)
Thank you devs for considering this!

I would be all for this… if it was not such an issue (at least, that is what I understood from all this and other posts) for console users…
Read up to see what we said about this, good sir.

This request has been buried deep in the forums, but with my fourth and final character going for a hacker/marksman combo, I thought I should give this request one last go, please devs!
