PC Default Melee Weapon doesn't change when switching Perks. (v1050)

[taiiat]

Category: Code/Other?
repro: always

Summary:
if you start a Match as N Perk, and later switch to Y Perk, your Default Melee Weapon doesn't get changed (Grenades, Skills, Et Cetera all change fine).

Description:
didn't try every combination but several and all showed the same results.
just the Melee Weapon doesn't change, which then means you still gain points for the last Perk with that Weapon, rather than the one you changed to.

looked for a Log to see if it could help, only found the 'Launch' Log and it didn't provide any hints (or acknowledgement of changing Perks in the first place seemingly, doesn't seem to be a full session Log) as to why that was happening or that it was happening - or not happening, depending on the way you see it.

repro is simply switching Perks mid Match (in particular during Trader, haven't tried queuing switch during Combat)


occurs in both Multiplayer and Solo.

Known issue since day 1 of the game being in EA

I think in the other bug reports related to this issue, they stated it is not a bug. It is same as your starting weapon, they do not change when you change perk. So not a bug. Will try to find the other thread (with google of course as forum is broken and can't find ****).

That's not a bug. You just keep the knife you started with.

hmm, i didn't search that far back in time, but i do appreciate someone else spending the time to do so, if it's been that way forever i guess i just never noticed in the past.
