Ever wanted a feature that allows you to organize your items after looting a dead hunter in Hunt: Showdown? Well, the developers have heard you, so they introduced the item hotswap feature in Update 1.7.1.

Rearrange Your Items

The devs now let you rearrange your items and weapons even if you're still on a mission. It takes a few seconds to do it, but you will adapt to it in no time.

Basically, the idea here is that you can swap an item from one slot to another in your inventory. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Hold the item you wish to be moved in your Hunter's hands.

  2. Press and hold the button assigned to the inventory slot where you’d like the item to go.

  3. 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.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind here. The first is that swapping weapons and items are only limited to their respective slot categories. This means that consumables can only be moved to the consumables slot, the weapons to other weapon slots, and so on.

Second, the feature is only limited to PC users. Those on the console may still use the two “favorite slot” button mappings with the left and right buttons on their D-pad, which will give quick access to two of their most important tools and consumables.
