Ideas for Rise of the Zombie Snowmen: Not Terrible Edition

• 2 items slots, toggle with Q. Slots can take anything. Mouse1 for Item Use 1 (fire / swing melee), Mouse 2 for Item Use 2 (melee with item). This is what is currently used, except using the mousewheel for slot toggle. The problems here are that there isn't always much scope for switching weapons, and having both buttons do the same for melee weapons is a little confusing.
• Player can only carry one item at a time, otherwise same as above. Because I never found myself using both slots, so it lowers confusion there, but still suffers from the other problems.
• 2 item slots. First slot is for ranged weapons (pistol, shotgun, etc); Second slot is for melee weapons (branch, axe, etc). Mouse1 fires the ranged weapon, Mouse2 swings melee weapon. This method removes the need for the player to worry about having to switch weapons, and makes the mouse controls make more sense. To swap weapons, because there is no weapon switch, the player would walk over an item and press E to swap it. This would swap the item with whatever is in the slot it is going into (depending on whether it's a ranged or melee weapon being picked up). I kind of like this idea.
