Add a toggle setting for automatic reload or manual reload for bowguns

現状/Current Status

Currently, when holding down the screen, the game will keep firing and reloading non-stop for as long as the screen is held. This can lead to experiences like this: Add reload key for light-bow

A few times, I released the screen a split second slower and my character goes into a lengthy reload for the next magazine and get hit by monster’s attack when my intention was to stop firing on the last bullet and block the monster’s attack while using Heavy Bowgun. This is especially prominent when I am playing without sound or unable to hear the game sounds due to the environment that I am in and I have to focus on where the monster is moving to and could not split my visual focus to watch the ammo count and my character’s body language to gauge the time to release my hold on the screen. If I play with sound, I can offload the counting of the ammo and time to stop holding the screen to my ears by listening to the firing sound of the weapon instead of watching the ammo indicator and character animation.

提案/Suggestion

Please consider adding a toggle setting that can be changed while in the hunt, where:

  • When disabled, the reload function of bowguns continue to function the same as what we have now.
  • When enabled, the game will expend all available ammo in the current magazine as per usual, but will not reload once the magazine is empty. To reload, user has to lift their finger and tap/hold the screen again. This essentially puts a manual brake between firing the last bullet and the reload sequence.

Note: This is not about adding a manual reload key, but to just insert a break between the last bullet and the reload.
