[Bug] Zoom out, throw weapon.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

DayZ standalone, reproducible bug.

So I'm a lefty and I reassign most of my keys. Reassigning keys, however, doesn't get rid of the bug.

I'll be chilling with my mosin and long range scope, looking out over the Berezino body piles or the Svetlo sniper perches, zooming in and out, when I'll (almost at random) up and throw my gun over the cliff and down the hill. It occurs only after pressing (or holding) zoom out, and NOT zoom in.

Unassigning or reassigning the "throw item" key does nothing. Nor does reassigning the zoom keys. It doesn't occur every time I zoom out; it only occurs when I zoom out.

It was very amusing the first few dozen times it happened. Now it's a bit of a drag to go running for 5 minutes to the railroad to find my gun.

Steps To Reproduce

I use + and -, but switched it to the Numpad and the problem persisted. Switched to the mouse keys, problem persisted.

It's definitely a reproducible bug. I use right click to toggle look down scope; Using - and + (and others when I reassigned them) I'll zoom in and out. After hitting - to zoom out (or holding it) the weapon will be thrown as though I hit G. It does not occur every time, but it occurs when using the zoom out button.

It occurs while crouching or standing. Haven't tried while prone.

Additional Information

THIS ALSO OCCURRED WITH THE AK101 AND THE 4X MAGNIFICATION SCOPE!

I didn't know if the 4x mag scope could zoom in and out. When I tried, the weapon was thrown.

Happens too when you're looking through scope, hold breath, zoom in and move at the same time.

I get the gun throwing bug but its not when I'm zooming out…its when I'm zooming in…I think. Many times the gun completely disappears after throwing it. Very game-breaking and surprised there is only 3 upvotes for this.
