Zealot stealth knife broken

Issue Description:
You have to press the down button on d-pad to throw the zealot stealth knife when using controller. This makes it near impossible to use, because you naturally take your left thumb off the left controller stick in order to press the d-pad. This means you stop moving! Please make it work like equpping a grenade, so you press down on d-pad to access the knife and then right trigger to throw it. Going to cross-post this on bugs category too.

Steps to Reproduce:
Play as Zealot, choose stealth knife option in skill tree

The Throwing Knife is designed to be a secondary weapon that can be fired instantly at any time, whether you are using a melee or ranged weapon, you can instantly fire a throwing knife.
If you follow the grenade design, then you lose that convenience, and my suggestion is that you change the key settings.
