Handing over items

[Clumzy (DayZ) 377]

Ahoy,

I was watching The Walking Dead, and saw one of the characters hand a pair of binoculars to another. I thought, "It'd be cool if you could do that in the DayZ standalone"...

But then I thought,

"You should be able to do that in the DayZ standalone!"

So, my suggestion is that you can press a key to hand over whatever item is currently in your character's hands. Your character extends his hand, holding the item. Anyone that is nearby and looking at him will see an option in the action menu to take the item from him.

This would make tasks like trading, disarming enemies, or assisting a teammate a lot more fluid and natural.

However, only the equipped item is given. If a gun is handed over, no extra ammo will be. Also, the person receiving the item must have one hand free, and if they have a weapon equipped (Say, if they're demanding someone hand his weapon over at gunpoint) they won't be able to use the received item until they put their current item away.

Please share your thoughts and criticisms. спасибо.

This is not a bad idea. I support you.

^^^^ Same here. This is a good idea, I would like to see this implemented in the SA.

With any luck, we'll be able to sling the lighter guns over our back.
