M249 SAW

[Alvarie (DayZ) 14]

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..

I've used plenty of M249s and its never taken my pack away but it may have changed in the most recent patch.

Well, i got my first M249 about 4 days ago before the recent patch.

i picked my m249 saw up over the weekend on a fresh heli crash, worked fine for me.

TBH, it may be hacked M249 then lol. I know there are some LMGs in arma that also take the backpack space.

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.
