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.Quote:

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.

I love slow-mo so I had to toss Conan in.
I get the loadout animation from the Y option, but if you go into your inventory, the old way, why add a delay?
Obvious...Quote:

if you take your time doing it the old way it will not pop up to change but if you go fast with the old way you will get the delay load bar.
Curses! Someone said it before it could. ;)Quote:

It makes swapping weapons on new loadouts extremely frustrating. You have to change the loadout, exit, then go back in if you want to also swap a weapon. Otherwise, you are shown the previous loadout weapon. I really hope they remove the delay... I'd rather go back to the old 'quicker' way of swapping if they cannot. At least then you still had the correct EGO power and were able to swap weapons on the fly.
I was told the animation happens, but you don't see it.Quote:
