Quick Loadout swap: Take away the delay

This new way to swap loadouts is great, except that it breaks the player menu as well.

The forced delay of loadout changes makes it very annoying to change weapons in the menu. It seems the problem is the forced delay. Make the swap smooth, by getting rid of the delay completely, and then the system will work great!

It seems kind of bush league to introduce a quick swap that makes the regular swap on PC over twice as long.
I don't get where the "quick" is when the whole thing is slower.

I too don`t like the swap system. I can`t find any hotkey for it and have to open up my inventory to click the button, which is a pain when you are under fire and being not able to move while it switches only makes it worse. I think a better idea would have been to make the F keys control the loadouts and just switch them from there on the fly.

Not on PC, but on the Xbox you just have to hold "Y" to bring up the rotary menu. The issue is the forced delay/animation of changing the loadout.

Yep that is the part that makes no sense at all from any angle unless they change the name to slow swap.

Standard is the Q key on PC. Hold it till the selection will comes up then select the loadout with the mouse.
It's really not faster than going to the inventory on PC though and yeah Loadout slots should be hotkeyable.

Also i still agree the delay is horrible, switching just from the menu without delay was much better than this "Quick Swap".

I went to 'quick swap' my loadouts during a siege at kenns farm it took 2 minutes, i brought up the dial menu i selected and nada, tried again and nada then ran around in fear of the hulkers that were in that wave until about 1min and a half later when i suddenly knelt down to change loadouts which was then canceled since i had moved during that time.... ignoring the fact that due to MASSIVE lag due to the MASSIVE COOP not handling the population the 'Quick' label thats attached to it should probably be removed.

Also is it just me or has changing weapons in same loadout (i mean swapping between primary and secondary) become time consuming as well due to the lag?

Oh yes swapping my weapons can take longer to swap than swapping your loadouts, after about 5 tries you think yea it's swapped then here comes the lag and it swaps back ahhhhhhh!

the quick loadout punch.
