I’m not sure I completely get what you are saying, but then I’m old as dinosaur dust (67) I like the way it sounds though. I desperately need to keep health pads available at all times as after a brain nuke a few years ago, my reactions are not what they once were so healing is a constant requirement. Using the Y button to select weapons was good. I would prefer to be able to have ANY 3 weapons I choose as I don’t see much value in the pistol/handgun. I want to throw flares, or distractions, switch weapons quickly and be able to keep moving. That’s what the old system did well enough. Now I use one gun and health pads. I can’t rely on items I select in the radial wheel actually equipping. That’s the huge issue for me. They did fix the standing still while using the wheel as of yesterday for Xbox but it’s never going to resolve the other issues the wheel brings to the controller game. I do like being able to use items in your inventory without having to equip them. I can’t think of how that would work while in combat, but dropping a radio to teleport to is easier.
@Gryff, please, go to Weapon Wheel and gamepad/controler (post-hotfix) if you wish to discuss about the gamepad and the weapon wheel.
We are talking about that topic in more details.
I tried searching for Console Hotfix and it came up with zero results. My bad I guess.
Hey, don’t worry about it! 
What I was trying to describe was a proposal to keep the original UI and modify the emotes wheel so that we can place whatever you want in it.
That wouldn’t change the functionality of the hold Y / double click Y that used to select the hand gun, that you proposed, simply a brilliant idea:
You select a first, secondary and a third weapon freely, single Y-press switch between first and second, and hold/double click Y selects the third, if I understood you correctly!?
Thanks, yes I got that. I appreciate the explanation.
@Evo-BSM, they did release a hotfix. Could you remind me what was your problem with the weapon wheel?
Oh idk the fact that my weapons dont really get selected no problem man. No but im done playing a game that releases in an ok state and goes backwards the more “fixes” are added. Ghost bullets are still a thing and oh yeah that first batch of grenades still blow up in my face. Im just done playing a beta game. Remember when games used
to be functional on the day of release and they would add dlc later… yeah i miss those days
Maybe it didnt update the game properly? Idk im gonna remove my comment in case it turns out it was just my ps4 not doing its job properly
Yeah it was the latter. All the ghost etc things i need to figure out still. The grenades unfortunatly are not fixed. The weapon wheel however seems to be a whole lot better. No standing still and the selecting thing is better aswell. Only downsides are still the loss of a 3rd weapon (like double tap triangle) and the bottom d pad thing. Bit its better still. I hope they or change back or keep improving it
Could you please stop posting multiple times in a row… You could edit your posts. And if you want to answer to a specific post you could quote it.
how turn off this innovation . The previous set-up made sense . This “new” is frustrating
Moved to the megathread. You can’t turn it off, it’s a new feature.
//Mod
innovation implies both . There should have been put option to use it with and without wheel . Innovation is not elimination of what works !
So… after today’s stream I think it safe to say that there will be no more work to improve the wheel…
We will just have to “get used to it”!
Think this is sad, because the implementation of the wheel on controllers could have been done so much better!
I wouldn’t read too much into it (the livestream). If enough people mention the weapon wheel in the survey, and if higher-ups at Systemic Reaction are smart, they’ll listen to the gamepad users.
I still think it’s ridiculous that they won’t just pick a damn controller in the middle of the stream and play the game with it, especially since the game supports hotplugging.
True that, true that!
I hate the weapon wheel. I will never play this game again unless we’re given the option to use the original controls.
