A Melee Weapon Slot

[Gapi182 21]

So i've been thinking. We can carry 3 weapons in our inventory. A handgun, a rifle and a hatchet or a crowbar. Why is it that we have to drop the rifle to use the hatchet but not the other way around. Wouldn't it be easier if we simply had 1 extra weapon slot for a melee weapon. As everyone knows shooting in the middle of cherno is never a good idea. I mostly use a hatchet. And when i don't have a backpack yet I am a lot of times forced to not pick up a shotgun or a lee einfeld because i know i'll need the hatchet when i visit the city. What do you think?

Well in my opinion why you have to do that is mostly two reasons, the first one being the inventory system from Arma 2 and it's lack of melee weapon friendlynless and also that it shouldn't be easy to use the hatchet as you can just silently make your way through Cherno or Elektro, it should be difficult to use it.
