This isn't really a big problem, but sometimes i accidentally get in the situation where i have say an smg as my primary and a pistol as my secondary. I think you should be able to hold y if this happens to dual wield your secondary.
If no why not?

I'm assuming that this would only happen if there are no guns to Wield on the ground right?

Sounds like a good idea as long as there are no glitches that result from it.

Yeah that happens to me alot with the smg and the plasma rifle and I end up dieing or haveing to find anouther weapon to duel wield. It's a good idea.

That sounds like a perfectly good idea. But you would have to hold down the Y button instead, otherwise you would just switch weapons.

iDon't need an app to make fart noises. There's an ass for that.

Thats not a bad idea, actually its a great idea. I would like to see this happen, I think it would actually work.

It'd get too confusing and might result in messing the game up because of the already over-usage of the Y button.

Someone will most likely use it when there is nothing else going on. It's not like someone's going to whip it out when they're in the middle of a fight. The only problem that they could run into is if they are trying to dual wield the secondary when they are standing over another weapon that could be dual wielded. If this is the case, it's the players fault for not being aware.
I also have a new idea for wielding weapons. I hate when the power weapon of a fallen enemy is surrounded by smg's, so to fix this they could make a little window that pops up when you hold y next to a set a weapons like this. Think of Splinter Cell. When you get to a door, you have options and you can scroll down. Just like that, you could hold y and scroll down. To those who thinks it will take longer, it acctually is better than picking up a milliion bad weapons before you get the power weapon. If enough of you guys like this idea, I'll make a poll for this too.

Agreed, I wouldn't want one of those stupid reminders on the top of my screen the whole time saying I can dual-wield the weapons, but I think that having the option to dual-wield your primary and secondary weapon if they are both dual-wieldable weapons would be a great idea

This sounds good when I first heard of dual wielding this is what I thought would be the case (if your two gunsa are capable of it then you can equip them both).

Perhaps this could be usefull.

Sure it doesn't necessarily have to be y, this idea isn't engraved in stone, but they could also but in to one of the d-pad buttons, since they're not used.
