backpack 2 primary weapon

[JIJOK 49]

Asking this cause cant test by myself . I have M24 and M4, M4 works better at close combat and M24 at range, so I was thinking on put sniper on back pack and walk with m4, So ......... M24 with 2 magazines and M4 also 2 mag, M4 on hand M24 on backpack. I want change weapons, put sniper on hand and m4 on backpack, do I need to drop hand gun remove sniper from backpack and put M4 on backpack or can just put backpack gun on hand and auto the hand gun will go to backpack ??? stats : both primary weapons use same space ( 10 from gun and 2 from magazine on my example ) , so that should work on books but does it works on prac ??

You just need to open your backpack and put your BACKPACK weapon in your weapon inventory slot,don't put your equipped weapon in the backpack or it will get deleted.

Not anymore. In the newest update, if you overload your backpack the items appear on the ground close to you.

Can still get clipped under the ground if you're on a hill, or you won't find it in the grass/bush/tree, etc. Best to to just know to pull your backback gun out, and not try to put your on-hand gun in your backpack.

It works, at least using safe mode :P I had SVD on backpack and M4 on hand so 2 M4 magazines ready just that not food/water or other ammo. So in backpack svd + 2 magazines, then switched them svd to hand works moving ammo to that "menu" with also M4 mags. I needed to reload svd or m4 every time un-pack it but works
