Moving weapon from and to backpacks?

[BomboFlash 0]

Hi im kinda new. but im wondering a thing regarding the backpack.

I know its buggy as hell and likes to remove stuff etc.

Anyway, if i got a CZ in my backpack and a Winchester in my main slot. Is there anyway i can move the CZ to my hand and winchest to my backpack. Without having to put the winchester on the ground first.

Then put CZ in hand and then pick up winchester to my backpack.

Can they just change places or will one of the weapons get removed?

I do it all the time, just move the backpack item to forehand. done :)

Watch out for your ammo though. It likes to move ammo with weapons (something that needs to be changed :/)

I asked the same question a few days ago. The trick is to open your backpack and pull out the cz, it will automatically swap ammos too.

Only take OUT the weapon, don't put it in

There is a handy trick when it comes down to ammo, whenever you want to swap make sure one round/clip/mag of whatever item you want to swap into your inventory is in there, so it doesn't eat your ammo.
