Please Change the Huck Function to be Contextual

[KnightX13]

While I appreciate that buttons can be remapped, I really believe that Huck as a default should not be universal to anything you carry and on the RB for a controller.

Huck should be a contextual function for actual throwable objects, and therefore on RT while holding them.

For example, it is frustrating to accidentally huck a weapon or tool you are carrying, to then have to chase it down and find it during a fight, when RB is better served with something like equipping last used item/tool/weapon (which is what I do) so you can quickly switch between say a melee and ranged weapon, or if you are digging with a shovel to a weapon just used. And when you do have a throwable equipped, like a bratwurst, LT drops it but RT does nothing.

By reassigning RB by default and enabling RT to function as Huck with a throwable - including the brat/splatburst as outlined above, spears (LT jabs and RT hucks), and grass planks/weed stems (LT drops/stacks, RT hucks), etc. - this greatly improves contextual actions "in the moment" and expands control options for players.

Thank you.

Agreed, this would be helpful.

Since the 1.0 launch, still feel this needs to be revisited. While I have since remapped RB to equip Hot Pouch slot 1 and is my default weapon, and is almost always more useful than huck, there are those few times huck would be beneficial when holding specific items like bombs, planks/stems, or pebbles, etc.

I have definitely accidentally hucked things before - but I should note there is no "non-huckable" weapon, and in fact most weapons do a solid chunk of damage when hucked. I used to huck my axe at ants when they tried to run away.

if Lt is jab with spear, that means that you can't block with them, and since its the first actual weapon you get, thats not good.

Can make it so that you hold both LT and RT to block.
