And yet nobody mentions the extinguisher as a viable first slot

spanner/mallet/chem
pipe/buff/chem

or if you're going full buff...
spanner/mallet/buff


while we're talking about order, ammos go long range to short range.  example, for mines: lesmok/incend/loch.  duh.

Mallet/Spanner/Fire

I was unaware there was any other way to do this.

I am confused, this is like the Anglican church: You do things apparently right yet somehow it is wrong.

Recently started using my graphic tablet as a controller for most games, instead of mouse.
My setup so far is
Default tap - spray
Two fingers tap - mallet
One figer double tap - spanner

also taps are way more quick and less tiring on febuild/buffing than clicks ! hope this will be helpful for someone who plans to use tablet too

That's a clever way to do it  :D. Although, I can't tell whether spanner-mallet, mallet-spanner, or chem-spanner-mallet. I think you are a spray-mallet-spanner, but I can't accuse you of anything... ???

You are clever madam.

No one complained bout my tool use yet. I have the exact tool needed by the time I'm by that part and switch instantly when needed because muscle memory.

Press y button for default. Press RB twice for repairs. Once for rebuilds. LB for spy glass. And I memorised where to get anything else from whereever in this set up.

Pilot tools. RB twice for kero (past impact bumpers), LB for kero. (goddamn I wish they approve that 2 step pilot tool use thing-need it so bad-mainly hydro and chute so I can replace bumpers finally).


also implying an organisation that follows rules from a parable based rulebook with hundreds of inconsistencies and hypocrisies and saying anything they do is ever right and faithful to said book of paradox/faith/intent therein is funny to me.

I can let go of the whole fire suppression first thing.  after witnessing the setup of the fire suppression tool being used in slot 2, nothing else seems so bad anymore...

oh and sparky, you have your ammo types backwards.  it's short to long.  loch, incind, lesmok.  :P

and if managing two guns, the oddball ammo type goes first, then sorted by ranges the same way.

From the votes so far, Spanner Mallet wins. Spanner-Mallet all the way!

Hell no, I firmly believe these votes were a complete hoax. Someone cheated! Mallet Spanner obviously wins!
