Just a question about weapons/drops.

Is it me, or does it seem weird that you lose the diving knife if you pick something up, yet the harpoon tip and gun are safe?

I accidentally picked up a %^$* pickaxe immediately after spending £10,000 updating my diving knife, because the ore landed right on top of it...*facepalm* XD

You can open the menu, highlight your weapon and press a button to discard it. (Not sure about the keyboard button, I'm using a controller here.)

FYI, the knife is still there, you just need to toss away the overriding weapon you just picked up.

Is it actually?! I have looked for it, it just disappears! Unlike the harpoon tips and guns, which are exactly where I left them, unless you change scenes. Wtf...I must be going blind. XD

Thank you. :-)

Wait...do you mean still in inventory? So, if I drop the new melee, it will just reappear? I knew about the 'drop weapon' thing, but didn't know what it was for or why anyone would want to drop their weapon, haha!

You'll drop the weapon and it will literally drop so you can pick it up again. Dave never throws away his knife; he probably sheaths it while he uses whatever other weapon he picks up.

You'll want to drop the overriding weapon in glacier zone. lol

If you're wearing the frozen cod, you can't mine the ore with your upgraded knife. XD

Once you finish mining, just pick up the dropped weapon again.

Omg; talk about a brain fart, haha!

This was exceedingly helpful, thank you SO much. Is it just me? Do I keep missing the obvious? I couldn't even start the entire game until someone told me to 'long press' the space bar. XD

Also, I just now found two baseballs...still don't know what they're for, but now that I can get my knife back, I'll try them out on smaller fish. ;-)

I can't believe I've gotten to Chapter Six without knowing this. XD

Of course, it makes perfect sense, since that would be what a diver actually does...
