Request to fix bots auto-switching to sidearms (full-auto pistols & sawed-off shotguns) instead of main weapons

Currently, soldiers/AI squad members still prioritize switching to sidearms—specifically full-auto pistols and sawed-off shotguns—when encountering enemies, rather than using their primary weapons.
This significantly ruins the gameplay experience. Players are forced to either manually switch back to their primary weapon during combat or avoid equipping these high-damage sidearms altogether.
I hope this issue can be fixed so that soldiers prioritize their primary weapons when engaging enemies.

Have you been affected by bots auto-switching to sidearms during game?

I use the mauser schnellfeuer on my BR2 engineers and I can’t recall a single time this happened

luckily no I haven’t been effected.

I’ve mostly had it happen with the Colt Swartz. Might be handled diffferently or something

Yeah this is bothering, but I think this kinda posts belong to the mess room

they prioritize the sawn offs in cqc i run the secret army and for the majority they use the a6 but when i get into cqc they start swappin and are really good with em

I see no problem here, my bots are doing kills with Yazikov and sawed-off shotguns, that’s their choice. When I switch back to one of them, I have a thumb button on my mouse mapped to revert to main weapon, also many of my soldiers have at least part of the perk for faster weapon switching, so it’s instant change.

enjoy watching my unattended french civies blowing kruats heads smooth off
