Got a question pertaining to weapons in general.

I tried getting and equipping 2 prismatech alchemers at once. (2 separate ones, one in weapon slot 1 and the second in weapon slot 2.)

When I tried switching them, it wouldn't work
seeing as these are two separate weapons, despite having identical stats and being at the same level, I should be able to switch them, right?

Guess not. Does anyone know if this was intentional or if it is just a weird bug in the coding? My logic is that if there are two separate weapons, they should be able to be switched.

For claritication, switching

For claritication, switching hd no effect. It acted as if I only had 1 equipped. No switching animation either.

Yeah, I had the same problem with my dual ASI high zappers D:

OOO put that into place a few months ago, I think. Basically if two weapons are exactly the same they will be treated that way. You'll have to UV punch one or just use different alchemers, I think :/ Sorry, probably not the response you wanted to hear, but yeah...

Yeah, if you have two weapons that are exactly the same (including UVd items), then they won't switch. Get a UV on one (or get a 2UV) and it'll be fixed.

Before I sold my other storm driver i rolled with ASI med and ASI low for switch shooting, worked fine... unless something changed in the past month which wouldn't be all that surprising.

A UV will fix it, but should you get ASI VH on both of them they'll act as the same gun again.

This is known by developers and there has been no statement as to whether this is a bug or if switch-shooting is. (It would have to be one or the other.)

Spammer? Alchemer =/= Polaris. Shooting an alchemer is no less spam than slashing with your sword.

Just use 1 alchemer, it's

Just use 1 alchemer, it's what i always do and it works the same way as two guns switching between each other!

^ 2 slowww!

@Annil

Ill bring and switch shoot 2 pulsars just for you :)

Lso, Not going for alchemer switching. Going for a differeent weapon. Just testedd this theory with alchemers at 2* cause its cheap.
