I use all 4 explosive darts but then it automatically switches me to poison darts. But I may be standing right next to a ammo crate and intend to only use explosive darts.. well now I need to navigate the ammo selection menu to go back to explosive ammo.</p>
<p dir="auto">Other times say I've run out of lure darts without realizing and it auto switches me to explosive darts and I shoot the wrong dart by mistake because I didn't realize it switched ammo type on me.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd prefer it if I run out of a dart type then the blowpipe does not load and I'd have to select the ammo type I wish to use, otherwise it stays on the ammo type I selected.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've found myself only using 3 darts, then hitting the ammo crate to avoid using that 4th dart because it's annoying when the darts swap.</p>
<hr>
<p dir="auto">Adding to this.. selecting an ammo type is very unintuitive, and should be changed to either pressing 1 key until desired ammo type is selected, or holding one key and selecting the ammo type from a radial menu.</p>
<hr>
<p dir="auto">Another issue I realized while exploring the blowdart is that shooting a dart and swapping weapons deletes the dart that was shot - even if you get a hitmarker.</p>

I prefer it stay on the dart I was using so I can grab ammo and it refills them quickly. Instead I’ve been only using 3 shots so I can stay on the dart and grab ammo. It’s inefficient and if I had the option to stay on dart when empty I would select it.</p>

Simple. Make it an option that you could turn on or off auto switch.. then we can both be happy :D</p>

No water. Try it out for yourself. Shoot an explosive dart and immediately switch weapons. The dart becomes null.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'd like to see a hold RT/LM to breath in and a release to fire, freeing up LT/RM for the radial.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">This is the best solution by far, I was thinking we have too much button debt on controllers but couldn't figure out a solution, this would even be intuitive for this kind of weapon.<br>
I would still keep the radial to stay akin to the food and cannonball and throwables selections press key to cycle use radial to be precise.</p>

A few times when I was trying to hit lure darts on gunpowder skellies, it changed to explosive darts after using all 4 lures. Not ideal when I was trying to keep the skelly alive.</p>
<p dir="auto">The changing darts mechanic is a little clunky. I'd prefer tap left click to quick fire, hold left click to ads and increase breath/range (fire on release), and right click to bring up the dart radial (somewhat like bait while fishing). I've set a dedicated dart keybind, but it seems excessive. I feel bad for controller players!</p>
