Anybody figure out how to drop the cricket bat or starting gun?

[RedRedKrovy]

I've tried to drop them and also swap them into the storage container with no luck. If this is something we are not able to do at the moment I have at least one idea for the first patch.

I have the same problem I don't like carrying around 2 melee weapons...

Im afraid you can't drop or place the cricket bat or starting gun in the container as they're required to fight the zombies.

They are not required when I have four other guns to choose from and a shovel. All they do is take up space in your backpack at that point.

It's annoying that you can't swap out the cricket bat when you find something better. What's even more annoying is that I have now retrieved the "nailed bat" and I can't drop or store that, either! So now I have two inventory slots taken up by melee weapons. :-\

He means they are counted as "required items" because everything else is optional. It's kinda silly, but just how it's done.

Why we dont have a special closet for gun and melee weapon ? Can't put other stuff in it ,just weapon but no! Game developper lack of imagination and i hope they will patch that stuff .

You can remove the bat and other weapons. Just hold the cricket bat. then, you can remove the other weapons.

You are not reading right..,

You can remove any weapons EXCEPT the cricket bat and the starting gun.
Those two cant be replaced.

Also you cant store weapon you have currently equipped.

The issue is that you can't remove the starting weapons from your inventory. That's two slots now that you can not use for other things.

Yes stupidly annoying. I dont even use it anymore.

2023 now - nothing changed -_-

[Gavitron]

you expected it to change?

I bought it a week ago and was just looking for a solution for that problem. Maybe 8 years too late but wanted to inform people who will also hoping for a solution at this point.

Cricket bat, starting gun and flashlight are your starting gear and any time you die you spawn in with just that gear. Seems like being unable to remove those items is just a lazy solution to not let people get multiple of the same gun/melees through your storage.

On the original Wii-U version the cricket bat was the only obtainable melee so it made some sense(despite other melee being teased in the trailer). Honestly when you pick up a new melee it should completely replace the old melee because it's vastly outclassed.

Or silenced Pistol. It's better in any form compared to the starting gun. And i can't remember another game that has the flashlight in the inventury. In a special equip slot maybe but fortunately i found the XXL backpack. Compensates the Slot waste. Thanks god the Upgrades even don't even take place there or in the big small box in the shelter! x)
