I like to write, so if you like reading continue below…

If you’d rather watch a video with chapter markers, I made one demonstrating the problems/solutions:  
[Frustrating Inventory Issues Video](https://youtu.be/LR2-q1-zcSk?si=RHN1oqax3V7RRea1)

Basically, two issues when swapping/comparing weapons and armor on the Inventory Screen:

1. Update weight class bar when hovering over items
2. 1-to-1 Swapping of items

**1. Live Weight Class Bar**  
I absolutely love how dodging works in this game.

1. _Fast_ - Dashes very quickly in a straight line
2. _Normal_ - Rolls quickly in any direction (steerable)
3. _Heavy_ - Rolls slower in any direction (steerable), and option to bum rush

Because weight class has such a huge impact on gameplay, I would love to see the weight class bar update in real-time as you hover over items on the left. With so much gear in the game, every bit of time you can shave off when comparing would be so welcomed.

**2. Swapping**  
This is where my bigger gripe comes in. When swapping items, the item that is highlighted on the left should go directly into the slot on your character on the right and vice-versa. The item that was previously equipped should go directly into the slot that was highlighted on the left.

Items in your bag shouldn’t move around when swapping out two items. Currently, the items in the row of inventory do a sort of right-to-left rotation _regardless of what type of item it is_. This means you may be trying out different gloves, but suddenly when you click again (because you expect your old gloves to be in the highlighted slot on the left you’re currently in), you’re confused because now your pants have changed. 😖

The video does a much better job of explaining and I made sure to include chapter markers to the specific points I’m trying to make here.

**Thank you for such a great game and for listening to our feedback! Y’all rock!**  
🤘🏽 🕶 🤘🏽

Posted a similar topic yesterday , I completely agree on the comparison system the way it is now.

> The newly added Item compare feature is not as intuitive as I thought. 1)If you want to compare more than 1 item, it is quicker to quit current comparison and restart with the next item instead of moving through the inventory with the navigation arrows. 2)If I compare from Inventory the focus is on the equipped item, and If I decide to equip the new item, it Unequips the one I have on because of it. When moving from the equipped item it keeps the “Compare” on the item I started with and not th…
