Implement Grip Button for Reload and Mag Release Button for Firearms

Reload mechanics — **Grip button to reload instead of trigger** Pulling a trigger with my off hand feels very odd & immersion breaking. Every shooter I’ve played uses the grip button to pull a mag and rack the slide. (Maybe let us choose which reload button in a controller settings menu ?) **Mag release button** Every rifle, smg and drum shotgun should use the mag release button B - like with the pistols. If the gun in real life has a mag release, it should be so in the game. Having to pull the magazine out manually is cumbersome & immersion breaking. A few times when playing I forgot to pull the mag out before trying to grab a new mag, and was wondering why I couldn’t see the magazine on my chest. Not only that, but when using the bolt action rifle, it’s super easy to accidentally yank the mag out! So many times I was trying to slide the bolt to chamber a round and ended up pulling the magazine out, completely messing up my reload. If the mag is only released with the B button instead of grip, then it won’t interfere when sliding the bolt. A mag release button also rewards skilled players with a faster reload. If I can 1-hand fire the weapon with a fresh mag in my off hand, and mag release B on the main (right) controller, I can reload faster - with less accurate 1-handed shooting. It would be super cool and John Wick-like! **Haptic feedback on weapon selection** I’m not sure if there was haptics on hover & grab - but plz provide more noticeable haptic feedback when we hover our hand over each weapon, so we know we are reaching it, before pulling it out. Then more feedback when we grab it. This helps us switch weapons realistically without looking down and fumbling around. Maybe add more haptic feedback when hovering & grabbing your primary weapon compared to the sidearm, grenade, and utility tool. I agree with @KristanDL mentioning haptics for the pistols specifically.
