#The game should remember your inventory when you quit, not just the last loadout you switched to

Loadouts were obviously much needed and appreciated, but how the game remembers your inventory at the end of a session should work like it did before. Currently all it remembers is the last loadout you selected, and disregards anything you might have added to your inventory since then.

The way I use loadouts is that I have one for each map I own (sidenote: I'd really appreciate it if there were at least as many loadout slots as there are maps). But sometimes I'll bring a certain piece of equipment that I don't want to be a permanent part of that loadout but is useful in the short term (for a particular mission or a weapon type I'm grinding or something). If that short term need extends between sessions, though, it's frustrating because the game will remove those non-loadout items from your inventory when you quit the game.

Most things in the game (besides your location) stay just as they are between sessions, so it'd make sense to me for the inventory to be that way too, like it was before loadouts were added. I think some of the complaints we've seen about the loadout system may have this change as their root cause. Maybe a message either at quitting or starting a session that says "Some items in your inventory have not been saved to your current loadout" would be helpful too, though I'd like a "Don't show this again" checkbox if you added it.

You need to press save inventory or els it won't save

What I'm saying is that I don't want it to save permanently to the loadout, just to my inventory between sessions.

What you want. The game saves loadouts and where items were placed in your inventory last across sessions and maps

I think what you are asking for is an autosave to the current loadout when you exit a map .....

#

I think that could be an option in the settings .... possibly?

I want the inventory to save, not the loadout.

Say my loadout for one map includes a rifle and a shotgun, and then I have a mission that wants me to use a bow. So I add the bow to my inventory, but I don't save the loadout because long-term it's not something I want in that loadout, normally I just want the rifle and shotgun. But if completing the bow mission takes more than one session I'd like the bow to still be in my inventory after I quit and come back. Then once the mission is done I can choose the loadout again and my inventory will be the normal rifle and shotgun.

As it works currently the bow would disappear from my inventory between sessions unless I added it to the loadout.

I think I understand what your saying and I agree that the way current loadouts are design is not really intuitive. Because before loadouts were implemented you always knew that what you ended with in inventory is what you started with when you came back to the game. ...... Now It's not like that anymore. ..... So they need a default auto save loadout that saves whatever is in your inventory when you exit. And it's also the default auto save that loads automatically when you start the next time...

#

They could actually implement this by allowing the player to designate one of his load out slots as default. And it's the default slot that gets auto saved when you exit and auto loaded when you start.

I wouldn’t want that for myself so if they added that it’d be best as a setting you can turn on/off

The Outback update seems to have done what I was looking for, btw. Take a look at how it works now in the game if you haven't already.
