Yeah, I agree. This was just a rough draft to see how everything was going, matching it up, the only worry I have is what about the combat keys, unless you want to scrap them altogether. Your thoughts are very much appreciated!
The only real usage I see for the killicons is having a favorite loadout and having it as number 1, 2 and 3. For me, that would be the rocket launcher, the shotgun and the shovel (yepp, only nabz use the equalizer
). In that case, one could have the classicons as numpad keys (I know not everyone has that, but leaving out the first 3 on the number row would look lame). It could be done with basically any set of weapons, i.e. 1 - degreaser; 2 - flare gun; 3 - axetinguisher. It would be a cool way to emphasize the loadout you play with the most, and you could change it if your playstyle changes.
