Currently changing from backpacks to dual wielding/secondary weapon removes the backpack from premium engineers. This is an inconvenience as the engineer can’t dual wield so the backpack is removed for no good reason, this is probably just an oversight it would be nice to see some resolution to this old issue. Apparently this effects all squads:
- Yes let premium engineers keep backpacks when the squad switches to dual wield.
- No remove backpacks with the rest of the squad ergo change nothing.

For reference definitely not the first time this has happened/been suggested…
