I was gonna ask if there could be an option like this as well too, i sorta wanna have more item slots, or have the upgradable pouch be more providing + stick around after death.

have there be weapon slots so they don't take up too much inventory, also have the inventory upgrades be like the resident evil remakes.

If we add more than eight slots per player than the entire HUD would require a rework with smaller slot panels in order to fit up a max of 4 player inventories onscreen at once, but that's not a priority for the time being.

The portable workbench & inventory expansion belts do drop upon death.

Your suggestion will be considered though.
