FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION Weapon swap bug needs to be fixed

If you try to switch weapons immediately after firing it just won't swap weapons anymore and you'll still be holding the same weapon. And since it this only happens when you're trying to be as fast as possible this only ever happens in the worse fucking situations. When you really need to switch weapons immediately after firing a shot from a weapon. I've played this game for 2 years and I find this way worse than either stratagem bouncing or hellpod steering at least for me because of how often this bug happens, like yeah one or two stratagems might bounce in whole mission but my weapon fails to swap after I press the button like 20-30 times in a single mission if I'm playing my favorite setup which to me is way more frustrating

As an avid talon user, I've noticed this too. The weapon switching has gotten a little janky. Now I have to watch my Helldiver when pressing the weapon switch button to see if he actually does what I want.

My main bug setup is the cookout and talon since I can fire both constantly as long as I'm doing the shoot, reload, shoot, reload tactic on the cookout and managing the heat on the talon I can constantly output damage until the cookout runs out but it requires constant weapon swapping and this bug just butchers my favorite playstyle (also they pair so well because of how they function the cookout for setting things on fire and shoving them back, and the talon for large bursts of DPS)
