Well, today I tried 3rd slot for the first time and found alchemer switching harder, since I always use "wheel down" for weapon switching. I often find myself swinging Grintovec in a place where I needed to shoot.

My suggestion is adding the option to lock weapon slots. A weapon in a locked slot can't be switched to, but can be used by its hotkey.

For example, I got Voltech Alchemer Mk II, Shadowtech Alchemer Mk II, and Grintovec.

By weapon switching at the same direction, I get something like that:
Voltech>Shadowtech>Grintovec>Voltech>Shadowtech>Grintovec>...

Grintovec hinders my alch-switching, but it is supposed to be a "support" weapon.

Now if I lock the 3rd slot,

Voltech>Shadowtech>Voltech>Shadowtech>... 3rd slot hotkey: 3

Now I can alch-switch properly, and just press 3 to switch to Grintovec where I need to.

Don't bring a Grintovec at all. You can just solve your problem by moving your wheel up and down, not down, down and down.

If you're only using 3 weapons, set wheel down = voltedge / wheel up = alchemer.

other option is:
change your weapons by shortcut key

my personal choice is 1-2-3-4, because i can switch to the right weapon while moving (w-a-s-d)

I didn't say "I need help with switching", if I said so, I would do this in "New Recruits" topic. The problem is I need to practice a lot on the new control schemes. I can do this, and probably I will have to, but why not make it easier?
