Tip: Fastswitch between weapons

[Private Shifty]

Ok, for those of you who dont already know this one, there is a console command that lets you switch between weapons faster.
Type this in your console:
hud_fastswitch x

put the number of the weapon slot in place of the "x".
Example, to fast switch to knife the command is:
hud_fastswitch 1


it is very useful, especially if you run out of ammo in the middle of a gunfight, use fastswitch to quickly switch to a dif weapon, it could save you!

There is a keyboard command that came with the game does the same thing. It is the "last weapon used".

Just bring out the two you want in succession. Then bind the key some where and it does the same thing.

I do not know if they work at the same speed or not.

Anyone.......

alias +knife_slash "weapon_knife; wait; +attack" // Selects the knife and starts attacking.
alias -knife_slash "-attack; lastinv" // Upon key release, returns to previous weapon.
bind "?" "+knife_slash" // Bind your key to execute a quick knife slash.

Yes shadow that is what I am talking about.

A lot easier than adding binds.

I use the numberpad zero.

yes it would probly be best to use last weapon. It might just be my comp, but i am experiencing probs with my fastswitch. When i use it i freeze up for about a second. It is annyoing.

Actually, hud_fastswitch 1 makes it so that pressing the key for the weapon group/slot brings up the weapon. fastswitch is great for switching fast. :wink: It doesn't work whenever there is more than one weapon in a group, though, such as having 2 shotguns.

The standard weapon groups (kind of a "duh" thing. Most of you know this)
1 = knife
2 = pistols
3 = shotguns
4 = smgs
5 = Assault Rifles
6 = sniper rifles and MGs
7 = grenades and clays

hud_fastswtich 0 disables the fastswitching (another "duh")

Just thought I'd point that out...
