This is definitely needing a fix hopefully before this patch comes to stable. Especially because when switching from a two handed melee weapon to a gun stored on the right or left shoulder the two handed melee weapon (or other weapon like a scorpion that takes up less item slots) will then be stored on the shoulder and if there are not enough slots available you then will not be able to stow the weapon in your hands without dropping or dragging the other item into clothing or backpack slots.

-update 20.04.2022: I’ve been playing on official servers with the 1.17 update and noticed that there still is no option to move equipped items into inventory by hitting the x button. The menu now doesn’t show hit x as an option at all to move equipped items to inventory, so my next question is - why remove the option to move items especially from shoulder slots into inventory? The only option now is to take equipped items to hands, or drop on the ground, THEN move to inventory. The inventory management system is already inherently bad for console/controller users. Why take away options that made inventory management somewhat good?
