Concealable pistols

[rivets 1]

Give players the ability to conceal a handgun if they have the right equipment; long hoodie, jacket, specific holster etc.

I usually cache all my gear in a bush when I'm looting a city on my own so someone that gets the drop on me doesn't perceive me as an immediate threat and shoot on sight, but it would be cool to be able to pull a pistol and defend yourself if you absolutely had to.

Could be implemented quickly by having an invisible pistol model with disabled functionality(similar to the inability to fire a bolt gun immediately after a reload) on the character for a concealed state, then when pressing the "switch rifle/handgun" key, draw animation plays, handgun model spawns and functionality is restored. Maybe a slow 2-2.5 second draw time to simulate clothing gear getting in the way.

Sounds like a good idea, would make holding up an unarmed player more interesting, but people could just shoot on sight and say "could of had a hidden pistol" and i think there is enough of shooting on sight lol.

Only if you can 'pat down' a player. but yes I'd love to see this.

I like this idea. Then just add a lootable holster, which makes your handgun visible and so you can carry more stuff/draw your handgun faster.
