Main weapon dropped when equipping weapon (previously) in backpack
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

There currently is a bug that contributes to dropping your main weapon. When you have an weapon in backpack and a main weapon on your back this happens but it also happens with other items.
For example you have mp65 in backpack (takes 4x2 slots) and b95 on your back.
Take the mp5 in hands, then switch to b95. The game switches the positions of the mp5 and the b95, therefore the mp5 ends up on your back while you remain unaware of this. The logical course of action would be to have the mp5 go back to its initial position in the backpack. Then when you put away the b95 there is no place on your back anymore because this is occupied by the mp5, therefore the b95 gets dropped on the ground. While you remain unaware of this. This happens often undetected and ends up in you losing a weapon while this wouldn't be necessary.

Hello deacon_dr_slick2 and thank you for the report.
We are working on creating a system which will notify the player when they drop their weapon (currently there is no estimate on when such system will be implemented). The inventory system will also go through tweaks in the future stages of development, to address such issues with dropping items through quickbar and swapping.
