Do you play with auto switch weapon on pickup?
I'm tweaking the default settings for the DDNet Client right now and I'm interested if most of the players have auto switch weapon on pickup enabled like me.

yes because you often have to use weapon right after you get it

I don't usually do but in some maps it is required to be fast and in some other maps you need to pick a grenade by flying with the shotgun so you can't use it or you will fall...

Useless setting. Since it's client-side you have to wait some ms until weapon actually switches. Instead press 4 before picking up a grenade, this will register grenade as your wanted weapon in server and switch it immediately as you get the weapon.

Re: Do you play with auto switch weapon on pickup?
Is it worth removing i dont think so if thats what your trying to ask because i and most of the people iknow play with it on and with it one you get so used to pressing buttons for weapons that u pick up but dont want to use like while flying
Also its easier pressing 1 or 2 than it is thinking about what is the laser if u forgot and then pressing 5 almost missing it every time

Mostly I'm relying on the auto-pickup option, yet if I know I will have to use something in a moment - and I don't have it yet - I already change wanted weapon with bind, so the way deen mentioned

Re: Do you play with auto switch weapon on pickup?
I agree with this, though I wouldn't call it a useless setting. Outside of this poll, I knew that this option is used a lot.deen wrote:Useless setting.

The other option I use is auto-switch when out of ammo, though I don't think I would need this setting if the ammo graphics were more easily visible (grenades is the only one that's easily visible, except when there are maps with red graphics, then the grenade ammo blend in, costing more effort).

Maybe people use this more in other mods like dm or ctf
