Faster movements, holstering and droping weapons. Hands up!.

[mitor 176]

The real problem is that when you encounter people heavily armed in Dayz your only chance to survive, if they are not friendly, is to kill them. Assuming you see them before they see you, if you are one person and they are two, for example, you cant shout them Don´t move!, but that´s not safe, because they are still with their weapons ready to be fired.

You can also tell them to lower their weapons, but they can get them ready to shoot in less than a second.

If you tell them to drop their weapons their need to use their inventory to do that, and its not safe.

That´s why I think we need faster movements, and the possibility to holster your weapons, to drop them and to rise your hands to surrender yourself. Primary weapons should have a belt so that you can unhand your weapon and it remains hanging.

Also, there should be penalties (Mainly to stamina) for having your weapon raised and ready to fire.

In addition to another thread I made, I think we need these features to enhance the friendly aspect of the game.

Thank you.

Make sure they have their back turned to you, IMO you can then disarm them safely. Just tell them to "not turn towards the voice" and let them go into their inventory and drop their weapon(s) on the ground. If they turn to face you, you shoot them.
