Weapon switching problem

I want to switch between 2 Alchemers fast and not select my Blitz or a bomb and kill myself. :D

I'm used to swapping between 3 weapons using the space bar, which isn't really working here. I've tried other things like specific keys for weapons (like alt and space) and using the mouse wheel, but they either require a LOT of dexterity that I don't have or really limit my maneuverability.

Any ideas?

You could try this....

Not entire sure this will work but you could move with the arrows, use left click for action, right click for alch 1, mouse wheel for alch 2, and space for next weapon. This would prevent you from having to make the correct number of scroll to get the weapon you want as it will always go to alch 2, and will make switching back and forth relativly easy. That, or you get one of those fancy gaming mice with the number buttons on the side

I've heard that just swapping

I've heard that just swapping back to the same alchy from alot of other slingers is 99% as fast, easier, and cheaper.

Edit- If I was you I would move this to the arsenal forum for better chances of a well informed explanation.

Okay moved, I had no idea

Okay moved, I had no idea where to put it because it was mor about the control scheme than the weapons themselves.

agree

I agree that this is about control schemes, not equipment, but it's no big deal either way.

The answer to your question depends on which of your hands is more overloaded. If it's your keyboard hand, then you have many options, although you may have to de-prioritize something else such as vials. If it's your mouse hand, then you have fewer options. Have you tried making "scroll up" = weapon slot 1, making "scroll down" = weapon slot 2, and putting your two guns in those slots?
