Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out and for reporting this.
Before we pass this on for further investigation, could you try a few troubleshooting steps:
Test another key first
Go to Settings > Keyboard & Mouse.
Rebind Switch Weapon to a different key (for example
G).Click Apply, then load into a run with at least two weapons and try swapping using that new key.
Clear a possible conflict with Q
By default,
Qis used for another action (Prime Ability).Temporarily move that action off of
Qto some other key.Then set Switch Weapon to
Q, click Apply, and test again in‑game.Reset and rebind
In the same keybinding menu, use Reset to Defaults for Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Apply.
Then change only the Switch Weapon binding to
Q, apply again, and test in‑game.Verify game files
Fully close the game.
In Steam, run Verify integrity of game files for Marathon.
Relaunch the game and repeat step 3.
If the custom key (Q or anything else) still doesn’t work after these steps, while the default
^continues to work, please reply with:A screenshot of your Keyboard & Mouse keybinding screen showing the current Switch Weapon binding
(If possible) a short clip showing the keybind in Settings and it not working in‑game
Please use your platform's capture button to take a video. You can upload the footage to a public video hosting site, like YouTube, then post the link here and we’ll be glad to take a look.
