Taking a tank out of a Wall Locker (and likely other storage) into Inventory without swapping into the Paperdoll leaves the tank empty.

Just discovered this during a quick exploration of the Grand Reef after leaving the Floating Isle. While down at under 300m but fortunately close to the Cyclops.

I had 1 Lightweight High Capacity Tank in the Paperdoll. I'd taken a spare LHC Tank from a Wall Locker into Inventory. I'd explored close to the Cyclops.

Oxygen had gone down from 135s to under 45s. I swapped out my empty and put in the other. No extra oxygen. Tried swapping two more times. No extra oxygen.

Swam back to the Cyclops. Swapped tanks inside and saw the spare tank only fill in the Paperdoll.

Swam out again and ran oxygen down to under 45s. Swapped tanks this time and had a full LHC Tank now.

    It seems to me that since that change made to how airtanks now functions, they will refill air only while in the paperdoll slot. If you have one in the paperdoll and one in the inventory, upon surfacing (or entering somewhere where theres oxygen) the airtank in the inventory will not refill with air, you'll have to place it in the paperdoll for it to refill.

    Found that out the hard way as well after near dying while scouring a wreck lol
    I dont recall a filled airtank becoming suddenly empty after retrieving it from a locker tho ... might have to test that to be sure.
