Thread dedicated to improvements and feedback in the overall inventory system and looting, to get a better understanding of how it works and also to hopefully improve on it.
Issue highlights:
Numbers next to items (a bottle of water says 8 for example) (KNOWN ISSUE)- what does this mean? because in relation to the backpack itself, I would assume a bottle with 8 storage, would take up 8 out of 110 for an Alice Backpack, but that doesn't seem to be the case
Numbers next to backpacks, clothing etc (KNOWN ISSUE) - (Alice pack says 110, but I can only store around 50 odd worth of items inside)
I can't personally select what goes into the small protector case - It seems once my inventory is *full* (even though it still says I've got another 50+ worth of items to store inside my backpack) it will just automatically be added to the protector case, Can't seem to find how to manually add what I want to the case.
Looting dead players - was looting a player I killed at NWAF yesterday, when pressing the back button on the controller, the game froze for approx 4 seconds, as if it was asking too much of the console (Xbox one X 4K). Then when trying to loot their items, it was an absolute pain, I couldn’t scroll down the inventory list using the RT button on the controller, I had to scroll up using LT to flip to the bottom of their list, then sometimes it wouldn’t work at all. Very messy, unnecessarily complicated and could be improved massively using the feedback noted below.
Additional ideas to improve the inventory system:
Grid system for inventory - So we can see what we are doing in relation to storing items in inventory, while having the ability to move items around, put them in order and essentially get the most out of the space the backpacks etc have to offer us.
Drag and drop feature for items - Possibly hold A on the item in your inventory, then use the D pad to move it around. Also you could hold LB, then use the D pad to spin the item in 90 degree increments.
Two options for items on floor - The ability to press X to equip item on floor to hands, then possibly another option to press Y while the items on the floor to put it straight into your inventory. Removing the need to go into your inventory to then move to hands, useful for food and drinks etc.
Looting a dead players inventory - The ability to press A, on a stanag magazine for example which they have in their inventory, when you press A, the item moves over to your inventory, while having the ability to move it around with the D Pad using the grid system mentioned in this post. While all this is happening, you can simply press B to cancel the operation and the stanag magazine will return to the dead players inventory slot.
