Introduce items switching with Number keys / scroll
The plan is to have a 'normal' weapon switching HUD like every standard FPS game, which you can scroll to see all items For example it would mean that 'Binoculars' would show on it, or the different charges and so on. It would also allow you to use full number keys to switch to all items directly (Think 4 for bandage, 5 for binos, 6 for explosives, 7 for shovel)
Think Squad, Battlefield games or about every other FPS game out there.
