Quick bar/Switch Weapons Hotkey?

[MedicRabbit]

I remember the backpack from the first one gave you four hotkeys, tried going in and arranging it much the same with this one. Not seeing anyway to set up hotkey items. Lil' Help?

I am wondering that as well....even put a spear and the axe on the backpack itself, and it did nothing...there is not even a mention of it in the key binds....

Hold down inventory button <3

same, it seems there is no function for that, or maybe we have to craft some sort of holster. also how do you drop logs? (B works but this cant be it on a long run)

There is a drop key that you can customize in the options.
I assigned mine to F, so it is just like the first game.

OMG thank you, so with that, I figured it out.
Like JahJah said, you hold the inventory button to have a quick backpack selection.

In order to add items to that quick backpack menu, just go in inventory, then right click let's say the bow, then right click the backpack, and that's it, it is added!
You can also remove items by right clicking the item in question that is on the backpack (the one in the inventory after you right clicked on it).

You can now select the bow by holding the inventory button and then clicking on the bow that is hanging on the outside of the backpack.

You can basically do this with many items, but not everything, like it doesn't work with the utility knife.

i could ignore the fact that theres no hotkeys for weapons and such, but whos idea was it to have your character come to a dead stop when holding I to access your quickslots

[Righty]

Thank you

Hold inventory. Rebind it to tab so it's less annoying.

I agree. The feature is actually really nice, but in ADDITION would be even nicer to have the ability to assign weapons/tools/gear to 1-2-3-4, just like it was already in the first game.
Even better, assign stuff on 1-8, since number keys doesn't seem to be used for anything.

I will never understand why devs do this in many games, to removes good and functional features from a sequel that was in the first game.

Well I gotta hand it to the devs, recent patch they have put the hotkey function and you can easily assign basically anything with numbers 0-9.
Simply go in the inventory, hover the item you want to assign, and press the number you want. That's it. You will see a little empty square on the top right of the item's name, that tells you what number is assigned to that item, if it is assigned, and also that it is available to be assigned. If it doesn't have that little square, it can't be assigned, but only a few items are like that.

Good job devs, this is what players need, devs that LISTEN.
