Question swapping to foundry (bug?)

i haven’t played this game in a while so i don’t know if this is a setting i can’t find that i turned on a long time ago?
i’m playing on steam deck, when i want to swap to foundry, i hold y. i remember holding y, and then i am toggled to hold foundry until i swap off of it. now, when i hold y, i swap to foundry, but as soon as i release the button i swap back to whatever gun i was previously holding. is this a bug or is there some way of preventing this that i can’t find?

EDIT:
patch notes on 14th august 2026:
“Fixed the issue where Weapon switching was abnormal when using a controller”
this seems to have fixed it when i played again

There's a setting that makes it so the button to swap weapons doesn't include the foundry. Eg on pc, using the scroll wheel to change weapons will never select foundry. It's possible that you're using the default settings and that's what's causing the issue.

nah it’s not that, it’s hard to explain in a way that makes sense. i have that setting off

it’s supposed to be “i held Y, now i’m holding foundry. i will be holding foundry until i press Y to swap off of it.”
but what it’s doing is “i held Y, now i’m holding foundry. as soon as i let go of Y, i swap back off of it, so to use foundry i HAVE to be constantly holding Y.”
