[h2]Rearranging Inventory Items - Item Hotswap Feature [/h2]

With Update 1.7.1 we’re introducing the ability to rearrange Weapons and Items on your Hunter while still within a mission. Rearranging your items only takes a moment, and we know it will become second nature to Hunters of the Bayou in no time:

To move or swap items:

Hold the item you wish to be moved in your Hunter's hands
Press and hold the button assigned to the inventory slot where you’d like the item to go
After a short delay the item will be placed in the target inventory slot
- If this inventory slot already contains an item, the two will swap positions

Moving and swapping items is limited to their slot categories. Weapons can only move to other weapon slots, same with Tools and Consumables.

Example: Swapping an Ammo Box in your first consumable slot, with a looted Flash Bomb in your last consumable slot.

Start by pressing ‘7’ to hold the Ammo box in your hand. Next press and hold ‘0’ to indicate you would like to switch its position with the Flash Bomb. After a short delay, the two items will be swapped.

The rearranging inventory feature will be limited to PC Players. Console Players still can use the two ‘favorite slot’ button mappings with -Left and -Right buttons on their Dpad to quickly access their two most important tools or consumables.
- In order to remap your favorite slots select the target slot with the right stick and press and hold either -Left or -Right on the Dpad.

Developers Note:
With the introduction of this new feature, we’re hoping it will help normalize each game of Hunt and allow players to have their weapons in the correct slot even after looting a dead Hunter or to rearrange consumables acquired from Toolboxes.
We’re most looking forward to the utilization of this feature in Quickplay, so players can rearrange their Quickplay Hunter’s newly looted gear to fit the order they are most familiar with from Bounty Hunt.

[h2]Audio [/h2]

Added a sound effect for Miner grunt’s headlamp being destroyed without the fireball.
Improved sound design for silenced weapons

Developers Note:
Since the introduction of the Vetterli 71 Karabiner Silencer, we noticed that the previously released silenced weapons (Sparks LRR Silencer, Winfield M1873C Silencer, and the Nagant M1895 Silencer) would need a slight rework of their design to be more in line with the original “base” weapons. This change is purely aesthetic and should not impact gameplay (e.g., The audible distance of the Silenced Shot)

[h2]World [/h2]

[h3]Lawson Delta[/h3]

Added more sandbags to the roof of the Waiting Hall in Lawson Station. This should help offer more cover from all directions while upon the roof

[h2]Gunplay [/h2]

Fixed an issue where the Vetterli Marksman used the wrong base sensitivity, making the default camera speed faster than other marksman variants
Fixed an issue where the Dolch precision would eject one more bullet than intended when reloading without Bulletgrubber

[h2]Weapon [/h2]

Fixed a reconnect issue that prevented players from swapping weapons

[h2]Reconnect [/h2]

Fixed an issue preventing players from properly red-skull-reviving with a Bounty after a full reconnect
Fixed an issue where players would immediately execute world interactions that were queued up during an on-the-fly reconnect
Fixed an issue where event items that should boost Darksight range would not properly work
Fixed an issue where windows looked unbroken after a reconnect
Fixed an issue where after multiple reconnects players would no longer automatically crouch upon disconnecting

Fixed an issue where fully dead teams, solo players, and QP players would sometimes get misleading info on leave mission
Fixed an issue where, when equipping four consumables, the selection would jump to the first consumable slot and render the reduce button useless
Fixed a visual bug that caused a gap between lines to appear after using filters in the legendary weapon store
Fixed a visual bug that caused a tooltip to be shown in the legendary weapon store despite the filter being empty
