Picking up dropped gun - Billy Midnight

[robjohn14]

HI all - finished off Billy Midnight side mission - I could not figure out how to collect his gun.  The game kept saying pick it up and to drop my Cattleman's revolver.

The instructions were L1 for weapon wheel - fine - but also two 'up' arrows.  Do not understand - what am I missing please?

There are more side missions with only once chance to collect a weapon and I don't want to miss them also.

I believe you just need to click on L1 vs holding it for the weapon wheel.

Yes, just tap L1.  You don't hold it down.

Agreed, I was having a hard time getting him to swap it out too and mistakenly tapped L1 and it swapped out the weapon, it seems like the hint menu tells you something about holding L1 and selecting it, that wasn't working for me, tapping L1 quickly does.

I picked up the gun then died immediately after the mission and lost the gun. Is there a way to replay it
