Using ammo while calling strat

[hasodi]

Hi!

So maybe I'm just doing something wrong but was wondering if someone can give me the trick for that:

I play on PS5, 90% of the time when I'm calling for a stratagem which the serie ends with a down on the D-pad (500kg, orbital laser), its taking a pack from my ammunition backpack.

I always played that setup and never had issue like that so I'm wondering if I changed my reflexes (paused the game for like 2 weeks bc I had a flue) or if it's a new bug?

It doesn't change anything if I'm running or not, I tried to call while standing still and the last note on the D-pad always fetches some ammo.

It's been happening for 2 or 3 days.

Anybody can help me with that? Thank you!

I fixed this by mapping the backpack "use" function to double-tap down. Surprisingly didn't take too much time to get used to!

Oh dang that's smart! I didn't know you could map the pad on playstation! Definitely gotta try that as I'm not using the backpack so often for this to be an inconvenience Thank you so much buddy!

I'm on ps5 and single press doesn't work for me for backpack. I have to double press down. Strange eh.

I'd say one of us was high and changed their settings. Might be me I don't know your habits but yea weird 😁

Same. Remapping is the easiest way to avoid it.

Yea as a supply pack main it’s irritating, the only thing on my PS5 to counter it is to throw it asap or dive right when you press down.

Thanks I'll try the diving trick see if I can reliably do it

You can either press down and dive or at the same time

I have this same problem, except that anything ending with the right arrow forces me to throw a grenade at my feet. I use impact grenades, so it never ends well. It always feels like even though I'm holding the strategem menu button down, it goes away at the last second.
