Working as Designed Difficulty when Switching Items with Autoswing

[Russ Guss Doodles]

When using any item with Autoswing pressing the cycle buttons (L and R) to switch items doesn’t work. You have to stop holding the use button for the game to switch to the next item in you’re hotbar. This can be extremely annoying, especially during boss battles because you need to intentionally stop attacking before you can switch to a secondary weapon. Preferably you would be able to quickly swap between weapons with the cycle buttons while holding the use button and continuously attacking.

This probably isn’t a bug in the tradtional sense but it is a problem and doesn’t line up with the dynamic hotbar which doesn’t have this problem.

This happens on PC too: if you want to switch from autoswing to other weapons you have to stop attacking before switching, else the number key does not work.
