Could somone explain the hatchet to me?

So I just joined, and the only thing I've been able to find besides some flares miscullanious ammo was a hatchet. But, I can't seem to figure out how do equip it as my primary weapon (like the wiki says i should be able to).

So could someone give me a rundown on how to get this thing from my tool slot into my primary?

Right click the hatchet and remove it from toolbelt and it will be your primary weapon

^ what he said.

You just have to see where it went in your inventory. If it went to the toolbelt, it can be used to cut wood when you right click it. To equip it in your primary weapon slot, you can also right click it in the toolbelt to put it in your weapon slot (after that, you can right click it again to put it back in the toolbelt in case you find a more suitable weapon for you).

Ok, thanks guys. I was just trying to drag and drop it while trying diferent combinations of pressing "rearm" and "cancel."

Such an unintuitive interface

Yes, like i mentioned in previous posts, what really helps is playing some missions or even the tutorial/boot camp from the regular ARMA 2, it really helps, so you can get used to play with your gear and some other important game commands.

Good luck!

Which is why it's good to see some DayZ vids online or google for instructions before playing the mod.

I started with the noobs' playthrough by IGN. In the commentary they'd actually explain about the axe and much more.
