Reaction Fire Weapon Preference
If a soldier is carrying a weapon in each hand, the soldier will react with the active weapon. If the active weapon runs out of ammunition, the soldier will move on to the other weapon, assuming it contains ammunition as well.
The active weapon will be the weapon that is currently visible on your soldier's sprite, or the last weapon you fired with.
To set your active weapon, you only have to fire the weapon, or open the weapon's fire mode menu and cancel the attack.
| Tip!: By setting your active weapon, you will be able to tell your soldier what to fire with the next time the soldier gets an attack of opportunity. For example, if you were to have a Small Launcher in one hand an a Plasma Rifle in the other hand, and activating the small launcher will ensure that the soldier fires the small launcher first and then switch over to the plasma rifle for all subsequent attacks of opportunity. |
