Not only is this dangerous while in combat, if you DO happen to unintentionally drop your weapon, when you pick it back up you have to re equip all of your attachments!!

New system is good, but can be better for sure.
Some have suggested that pressing and holding the Reload key should bring up a menu that would allow you to swap ammo type. I like that idea, and itâs an idea that could be expanded upon to allow changing weapons as well, so that there wouldnât be a need to go into the inventory at all in the first place.
Either make holding R open up a quick menu that allows for chaning ammo or select a new weapon from inventory
or
holding the corresponding hotkey, for example 1, would allow the same function. That could also be expanded on for the other hotkeys 4, 5, 6 and 7, to allow for quicker swapping of utilities.

Inventory system is bad and update is now crashing making things worse. Can not play at all now! Lost inventory and crashing. Not a good anniversary update, more like a funeral.
I Personally have had a great time with the new update.I play on Xbox. Yes some dead NPC still float away⌠and all that noise but i donât care. The world is even more immersive and beautiful, i can carry way more in my inventory. I like the ammo being a few clicks away, makes for more real combat feel. You would almost never have more than a few hundred rounds pre loaded ready to rock IRL. it would take time to reach in a pack to get more ready. we got it good, we donât have to load the mags. Thank you Gen Z love the game more everyday.

I dont really have that much issue with the layout of the new inventory system as much as the fact that you now dont even have to think about what to carry as you can pretty much carry it allâŚ
Before this update you actually had to plan what weapons to carry and weigh that up with the amount of ammunition for the guns. Now all strategy is out of the window as you can bring all of them and just drag them out of your enormous pocket whenever you need them.
Im aware that this is pretty much how all other FPS games do it nowadays but it was one of the reasons that made this game stand out.
I really think this game has become a victim of its playerbase. Whatever it once was and made it stand out is no more. The majority has chosen what they want and the majority pretty much wants the same as they are used to all over again just packaged differentlyâŚ
I might sound like some bitter old dinosaur here but i miss the times when you actually bought a game and got that game⌠And it didnt change drastically every damn month.
Infact i would like to see the average age of the playerbase at this point compared to what it was a year ago.

jomjom79, I donât mind telling you Iâm also oldish (65 this year) and I donât like the new update, especially the weight system theyâve introduced. Much prefer the old grid system life was so much easier with it.

That would be a great idea I think when Xbox and ps players wand the circle they should hold RB to get the circle up so the Devs donât have to remap the whole controls ik that RB changes the fire mode but that can be a click and the circle can be the hold
I agree that the new inventory is a hassle I tried to get my shotgun then it wouldnât equip then I had to load a choke and ammunition that took about 5mins then I could go to the lighthouse

I wasnât able to pick up a weapon if i didnât have 2x free slots side-by-side. Donât know about you. Also, iâve seen the inventory rearrangement bug few times but they were too inconsistent to make proper bug report about it.
We do have stacks though. Now, all same type of items only have one stack. E.g one stack of 7.62mm FMJ or another stack of 9mm SMG AP. And that transfer pop-up is there to split it, else-ways, youâd be dropping or transferring every bit of that type of item you have.
My old inventory autosorted all the time since launch if I accidently picked up a weapon while not having 2 slots next to each other free. I thought it was commonplace and not a bug?
We donât have the grid anymore how does that work have you not installed the update yet?
If you did read my and mrjimpâs conversation right then you should know that we talked about the issue with old grid system (picking up weapon).
As far as stacks go, they are still a thing in the game, even in the new list system.

Ye I realized sorry Iâm a bit thick if you havenât realized 
Yes i have played since launch and now iâm a bit crap i can still use my mouse wheel but as u say several clicks to achieve a quick result the only thing i wanted as for all and not some ammo types to be stackable ,i used to love seeing my collection of guns ect and as for crafting urghh change for changeâs sake .

Avalanche just put out a big developer report today saying everyone loves the new inventory system. I guess thatâs why all the forums are overrun with people livid regarding
this poorly designed, poorly implemented system that makes the old clunky inventory seem like paradise.
I thought the crashing was bad (and it was!) but this nightmarish inventory ruined all joy of playing. I wonât even try to launch it now.
I was hoping it would be rectified but since they now say how positive everything theyâve heard is there is no hope. Guess I am over this game. Iâve never before seen such a terrible inventory system that it actually ruins the entire play experience.
Where are all the people that it love it as per their todayâs press release?

Storing stuff is easier but equipping is so bad I get what you mean 
If it, actually, sorted stuff in a rational way, Iâd be one of them. Then again, I really liked the old system. The new one simply doesnât add value over the old system, unfortunately. (Except for more inventory space overall.)

I agree. My first thought was⌠They are delusional and in denial 
I like the new inventory style.
The weight limitation instead of âspaceâ is fantastic.
I like that we now have different categories.
I like how we can TAKE ALL easy and quick when looting.
I like how we see âlevelâ of equipment, for example a gun or a sight.
i think I need to learn all the quick keys to become quick, instead of the mouse.
It is a bit confusing how I add equipment to a gun, like adding a sight to AK4.
Important categories is missing - âMedsâ !
Maybe it should also have been another one - âThrowablesâ for fireworks, flares, empâs, âŚ?
Categories is not consistent, from time to time itâs sorted in a other order, again.
What version of the game are you on that can see the level on the sights???
Only thing I agree to is the quick keys, they help but would be better if the other âerrorsâ wasnât there.
