Relocating a multitool

Multitools can be directly relocated within magazines to another magazine location, which
means that you do not have to unload multitools with the associated tools from the magazine
in order to relocate them to a different location.
When you are relocating a multitool, the system automatically recommends an empty location.
You may also directly specify an empty magazine location.
