For some reason, when i am fighting, my weapons will switch to my secondary randomly. I am just holding control and clicking the enemy and it will happen, sometimes when I use a skill it does it too and cancels it. I have checked my hotkeys and there is nothing that will switch my weapons except the tilde (this key ` ) and i am sure that i dont press that during fights. Thank you in advance.

is your auto combat feature on? not sure if it switches weapons on you though. only other thing i can think of is auto switch when using certain skills, i.e click hot keyed water cannon if you have a cylinder equip it'll auto switch, use hot keyed mag shot if you have a bow equip you'll auto switch.

Could you be a little more specific to when this happens?
Please indicate the weapons that are in your primary and secondary slots when your weapons randomly switch.
Do you have reserve attack on?
How about hardware problems (aka, problems with your keyboard?)
Do you have this problem when using bare hands in one or both of the weapon slots?

Ok my main weapon is dual gun and my secondary is control bars. My reserve attack is on. I dont think its a problem with my keyboard. I am not sure about the bare hands part and my auto weapon conversion is off.
My weapon switches randomly while i am attacking and almost always switches upon being attacked.

Is "auto weapon slot conversion" turned on under game>control? I'm not sure wat it does since ive never used it but it sounds like it could be that.

Auto conversion will make it so when you use a skill it switches to the appropriate weapon. This does not affect my problem when its either on or off

Wrong feature. Its called "Auto Weapon Slot Conversion".

Automatically switches to the weapon you're trying to use if you have it equipped. Like, if you use a fighter skill and have knuckles equipped, the character automatically switches to that weapon.
Anyway to the OP, check your hotkey settings for "change weapon set" and see if you might be pressing that by mistake.

It sounds like your auto combat is turned on.
For some reason, getting hit while holding guns with auto combat on will force you to switch weapons.
Try switching to manual combat. If that doesn't do anything it might be because of your reserve attack. Try turning that off.

Okay.. it looks like this issue is most likely resolved thanks to the
helpful replies it got, but you need to hear this regardless.
In this section people attempt to help others with problems they're having, and in this particular thread that is
clearly the case.
We're not here to "correct" people who were trying to help and on the right track anyway, nor to look like know-it-all big shots.
And don't bother replying to this; I'm not going to humor you. Just take the lesson to heart.

Ahh it was the Auto-Combat. That is very strange, that it would make me switch my weapons. I guess when I tested it I missed something. Thanks Everyone for your help.
