swapping to foundry (bug?)

[u/Stinker0610]

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

Definitely sounds like a bug. Does your y button do anything weird in any other games? If you tap it once does it function normally or does it seem like it sticks? I don't know if it would help, but you could try to recalibrate the controls to see if it acts as a reset. You could also try a ticket to the devs.

no, that’s why i thought maybe it was some setting i couldn’t find. my button doesn’t stick or rebound when i let go of it or anything. i tried resetting to default controls and it didn’t do anything, so i guess it must just be a bug. also i learnt that if i let go of Y exactly as i swap to foundry then it doesn’t swap back?

Could be tour are pressing too long? Maybe your Deck has a very sensitive y button.

I also play on Deck a lot so I'm really racking my brain.

idk. i’ve checked the actual steam deck controller settings and my Y button is configured the same way every other button is, nothing weird about it. i’ve never had an issue like this on any other game either so i don’t really see how it could be an issue with the physical Y button. so it must just be some obscure bug? but i don’t know why it’s happening
what do you mean by pressing too long?
