Performance Impact: None

cg_autoswitch

Keep this OFF at all costs. If you are mid-fight with a Lightning Gun and accidentally walk over a Plasma Gun, this setting will force your character to stop firing and switch weapons automatically, leaving you defenseless for nearly half a second.

💡

Pro Tip

Leave it OFF and instead bind "use weapon_railgun; use weapon_lightning" to a single key — this is how most pros instantly switch to their favorite hitscan weapon without ever letting the engine decide.
