The inventory is a complicated beast to work with, but I will try my best to explain: Your inventory is based on Weight and Pockets. The reason why you can't get the hatchet into your inventory, is because you don't have a pocket available to put it in, so your stuck with holding or dropping it. A lot of people have confused the top right numbers as "slots." This is not the case. The top right number is how much weight that piece of baggage or clothing can carry. Pockets: Each piece of Clothing. or Baggage, has a certain amount of space/pockets. You will only know how many pockets each clothing has by putting items in until you can't insert anymore. (That's the only way to my knowledge on how to find this out.) For you to freely move items around, back and forth, or properly use your hot wheel/bar, you must have at least one open pocket to work with. Be sure to check how many pockets you have, and keep some open pockets available when using your hot wheel or switching items. Feeling ALL your pockets, will force you to have to hold or drop the item in your hands, because that is the only available place for it to go. Weight: Each piece of clothing, or Baggage, has a certain amount of weight that it can withstand. For a piece of clothing, or Baggage, It shows how much weight it can hold at the top right. For each actual ITEM, like a can opener, the top right number shows how much it weighs. I know that sounds confusing, and it is. So think of it this way, CLOTHES show how much it can hold, ITEMS show their weight. That's as simple as i can put it. (If you want to see the actual weight of your clothing or backpack, look at the very top of your inventory screen, where it shows all your equipped clothing, that number at the top right, on that specific equipped clothing bar, shows how much the actual piece weighs.) No matter how many pockets you have, you still have to abide by the weight limit of each piece of clothing. Micromanaging: To micromanage your inventory, press and hold A button on the item you want to move, and press RT or LT to move it to the desired piece of clothing. You can not individually move the item side to side. You can only micromanage items by moving them from clothing to clothing. (or bags) Try to fit certain items in certain pieces of clothing or bags so you can be sure to utilize every pocket, and also abide by the weight. Small items in pants or shirt/jacket, while larger items can go into your back pack, or tactical vest. Its super complicated, and I understand they are going for realism here. I feel the inventory idea here is actually not a bad idea, buts its easily dis functional when the guns bug out and don't reload properly, or when items disappear suddenly (which could be in cooking pots, protected containers, or medical bags). It would literally take someone extremely OCD (Like me) to be able to organize this system to the fullest and understand the true functions behind it, but for gaming, it is much too complicated and frustrating to deal with. So i wish they pick one or the other. Pockets or Weight. Not both.

If your water bottle is in your inventory, go to it, press A on it to put it into your hands at the bottom, exit the inventory screen, then it should prompt your at the bottom left of the screen above your stamina bar to drink the water. Press RT to drink your water, and the circle icon in the middle of the screen will tell you how much your drinking. If your bottle is empty and your at a well, or pond/river, then put the Bottle into your hands again, look at the well, or water, then it will prompt your to press RT to fill up your water bottle. (Be warned, after filling up your bottle, it is dirty water. You have to find purifying tablets to purify your water. They are mostly in Deer Hunting Stands.)

Its a learning experience. Testing what works, and what doesn't work. What you should do, and shouldn't do. And sometimes it is bugged, hence the reason why I've set guns on the ground to remove mags before. But then I tested this with a working gun, and noticed that every time I did this, it completely disabled the gun or "jammed it." That's why I let people know not to lay the gun on the ground to remove a mag.

I figured out that if the gun is damaged or badly damaged, the mag gets "stuck" in the gun. Once i repaired the gun, it came out. Try that to see if it works for you. It worked for me, but the gun that i fixed had seemed like it was jammed even though I fixed it. So it may be a lost cause. Possible RNG? Hopefully get a working gun i guess.

That's because gun jamming is implemented into this game. If you cant get a mag into the gun, or if a mag is in the gun and one shot is the result, its one of 2 reasons: 1. Your inventory is too full to freely switch out a mag for another, (like Escape from Tarkov). 2. Your gun is jammed and can only insert one bullet at a time into the chamber. If the gun is jammed, there is NO fixing it at this time, it becomes useless. Hopefully they will put in a way for your character to un-jam the weapon. (Key Note): Dont put the gun on the ground, and remove the mag by pressing A to put the mag into your hands. That for sure jams the gun no doubt.

Its not your Xbox Cache. Its everyone that is having this issue. Its the game server directors that are shutting servers down, and back on every 3 hours. Then most other times, the server crashes. Dont know why people try to make others go through all of these loops when so many other people are having the same problem. The only thing i can tell you is to try to find less populated servers between 30 or 10 people. You should have better luck.
