However, the semi auto made is not saved after death. It's a pain having to remember to switch to the Jackal from the Scar when I spawn, change the fire mode to semi-auto, then switch back to my Scar (which I use whilst travelling to the objective).
The fire mode button is obviously used on other weapons for other actions like grenade launcher and hologram but these are far more periphery functions.
On a weapon like the shotgun, fire mode is more of a primary preference so I definitely think the setting should be saved after death.
Who agrees with me?
