In my opinion, it is a good idea to be able to switch between weapons rapidly since there are mutants, hazardous weather conditions, and creatures that all want to eat you. 

Most of the time, you must utilize specific supplies and other necessities. Therefore, you’ll need to learn how to equip them rapidly. Fortunately, players still have a way to quickly switch between weapons thanks to the new hotkey that allows players to equip two weapons quickly.
