Difficulty equipping hatchet as weapon

[sneed 1]

Howdy,

A fried of mine and I were trying to to equip hatchets as weapons last night. We would right click the hatchet in the tool zone, and select the option to put it in your inventory. However, it would always give us the same message - "Not enough space in your inventory" - regardless of what we had in our inventory.

We both tried dumping all of our stuff, freeing up every possible space in inventory, with primary and secondary weapons dropped on the ground. Completely clean, free inventory. Still getting "Not enough space in inventory". We've tried dropping the hatchets to the ground and re-equipping them as well. Anyone got any protips about this? Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Sneed

To use the hatchet as a weapon, pick it up, then remove from belt, then reload, you will get 1000 hits.

Thanks for the help, but what I'm saying is that the remove from belt process is all jacked. I keep getting "Not enough space in inventory". Even if I have absolutely nothing in my inventory. I'm now wondering if this is a bug, since most people seem to have no issue at all with this, and yet some of us do.

Edit: When you say remove from belt, do you mean by right clicking and selecting the option, or are you actually picking up the icon and dragging it over or something like that? Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing here. Thanks!

I have the same problem as you Sneed, i removed stuff from my inventory just in case it took more then one space, but it still didnt work.

The axe goes into the main hand rifle/weapon slot.

If you have the axe in the tool belt, right click it and press remove from toolbelt, this should put it in your main hand slot.

If you have a rifle or something else in the main hand, it WILL give a no inventory space message.

If that slot is empty, and the axe will still not transfer then its a glitch of some kind.

Good luck!
