My Machete Keeps Getting Put On My Horse

[Shizofrend98HR†]

How do I force my gal to have only machete in her inventory or better yet how can I keep my machete from disappearing from my pockets and getting put into my horse's storage?
I saw there's a weapon locker thing you can buy in camp menu but idk if that would help with my problem and it's bloody expensive for what it is (550$ for a gun's box).

You can only put guns in the weapon locker, IIRC.
Melee weapons don't show up in the list.

Yeah, the weapon locker only stores guns. There is not currently a solution for having throwing weapons or melee weapons not being in your weapon wheel other than using them up so that you don't have any to carry, and since unlike some throwing weapons, melee weapons don't get used up when you use them, once you own a melee weapon, it's forever in your weapon wheel.

From what I can tell, the game always resets the hunting knife as your selected melee weapon when you log in, but if you switch to your machete, it should stay that way unless you do something else to cycle through the melee weapons again. Either way, if your machete is not selected when you move away from your horse, then it's not going to be in your inventory, since for some reason, the machetes act more like guns in that you can only have them on you if they were the selected weapon for that slot when you left your horse, whereas none of the other melee weapons seem to have that restriction.

Unfortunately, the number keys that are supposed to equip a weapon of a given type will sometimes cycle to the next weapon of that type instead of just equipping the currently selected one. So, if you're using the number keys (or some other key that you mapped to equip weapons from a specific slot), you have to be careful. Sadly, as things stand, the only reliable way to always get the weapon you want is to use the weapon wheel directly, which doesn't work very well in the middle of a fight when it doesn't pause the game like it does in single player.

It can definitely be useful for managing your guns (especially if you decide to stop using a particular gun entirely), so I would think that you would want to get it eventually, but it certainly doesn't help you with your current problem.

Even more so, when you've bought duplicate handguns for the off-hand holster and are switching from double Cattlemans to double Volcanics and then to double Mausers.

You can only have one type of melee weapon with you.

If you have the hunter hatchet and the normal hatchet, you can pick one on your horse, but without your horse you'll only have that one hatchet.
Not sure what you would have in place of the machete though.
In story mode it was either machete or broken pirate sword.

there's a 6 gold reskin mahcete but i dont wonna buy that just to see if it works, so far in the melee slot ive got defaulth knife, lantern and machete but machete keeps getting put back into my horse cargo and I gotta take it with me every time I go into session and sometimes it goes back onto the horse for no reason at all whilst I'm still in same session. I wonna use machete exclusevily and I thought id be nice if I could just toss the knife in gun locker and be done with it but apperantly as ppl said above you cant do that with melee weapons ):

I find the gun locker worth it once you get enough guns that you want to switch out. Honestly, at this point, since my loadout is set, it's mostly just storage for old guns and my bow for when I may need that. Sadly, I do this because of how janky the horse weapon storage / access is, forcing me to only keep 2 long weapons on me at any given time. If it worked better, I'd just keep the bow in my pack I guess... But, at some point, you will want to upgrade your guns, and then, it's good to have a place for the old gear.

I had read at one point, that you can set your weapons in a gun shop, and I had read to understand that applied to melee weapons as well. It may be I'm wrong, but, maybe try setting your melee loadout in a shop and see if that works.

I'd love it if there were external storage for throwing weapons...

Yeah i saw you can choose to put guns on ur horse or on ur shoulder when u go into customize menu in the gun shop but didnt try to do it with melee weapons. Thx for suggestion, will give it a try.

Mine occasionally vanishes entirely, shows up after restarting the game, or, on occasion just changing servers.
