Alvarie (DayZ) 14 Posted July 18, 2012 Howdy,I recently came across a M249 SAW Machine gun, and was surprised that i had to drop my backpack in order to pick it up and use it. The M249 SAW highlighted both the gun slot, and backpack slot when i went to equip it and still haven't found a way to use it with a backpack despite seeing countless videos of people with the same weapon but with a backpack on.Did this change in a recent patch? Or am i missing something.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exciniscineris 32 Posted July 18, 2012 I've used plenty of M249s and its never taken my pack away but it may have changed in the most recent patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alvarie (DayZ) 14 Posted July 18, 2012 Well, i got my first M249 about 4 days ago before the recent patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exciniscineris 32 Posted July 18, 2012 TBH, it may be hacked M249 then lol. I know there are some LMGs in arma that also take the backpack space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alvarie (DayZ) 14 Posted July 18, 2012 Well.. I did find it in a tent with about 800 rounds (4 clips) so it might be hacked in.. that sucks : /Time to find a non-hacked one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
