just a quick question I'm having trouble finding an answer too, how do I remove a weapon from a weapon group? I can add weapons to a group but I can't seem to remove them from a group.

Should be able to remove them same way. RCtrl while the weapon in a group is selected.

The Right Control key toggles the state on and off. Backspace activates Chain Fire. The arrow keys navigate.

Ok thanks

Also note that Chain Fire only activates on the highlighted column and does not cycle groups just the weapons within the highlighted group. You do not have to leave the column highlighted and you can run chain fire on more then one group.

also note that adding/removing weapons from a group is kind of bugged. The numbers don't always reflect what will happen after you make changes.. at least for THAT match. All matches after that will be fine, but during that match that you make changes, I've found that sometimes I have to set/reset/remove all kinds of weapons from all kinds of groups before the groups I intend to work are actually working properly _for that match_.

In other words.. if you're good with a messy match, just set the groups how you want them (add/remove as it looks like it's doing), then ignore the fact that wrong weapons are firing at wrong times during the match. All will be fine the next time you load into a match.

I'm still trying to work out exactly how the bug works so I can better set groups on new mechs, but I don't often get into new mechs that need tweeking, so my first thoughts on the matter didn't work. ... I suspect that once we get to set groups in the mech lab, it won't matter how that bug works.. unless you forget to set groups before a match or want to change during a match, then it will matter if the devs haven't fixed it.

i have a question 'bout weapon groups to.. i have a LPL and a LL on my CNT-AL, and before the patch, i could fire them at the same time (did HUGE dmg..). but now i can't do that anymore, while i can still fire my 2 MPLs at the same time! anyone knows how to fix this?

[Cybermech]

so your LPL and LL are in the same group??

patch doesn't change or force grouping so not sure if its anything to do with that.

Place your LL and LPL in the same weapon group. Simple.

Weapon group instruction video: https://www.youtube....e&v=vl2gWUjO3rE

Using the arrow keys and the right-CTRL key, highlight the weapons you want in the group you want (such as placing the LL and LPL both in group 1 while the two MLAS are in group 2)

Actually it does as my cataphract having 2 medium lasers bound to group 4 while the rest of my weapons are still where they should be, will attest to.
