Switching Weapons

Recommended Posts

I would just like to make a suggestion about what could possibly be changed in DayZ. For example, if you are running away from a bunch of zombies, and you want to switch to your other weapon, it makes you stop first for a couple of seconds while you are switching. I think this is a slight problem, since you are now vulnerable to being attacked by those zombies. Could it be possible to make it so that if your character is running, and you want to switch your weapon, you can do that without having to stop moving/running?

This is more of an engine limitation, I believe that if there is any way to do that then it will be done.

They may change this. I have not seen or heard any indication of them changing this however. It would be a nice addition as I can guarantee you that you can holster a sidearm and pull a rifle off of your back while running.

Animation system sucks...looks like the animation system can't handle complex lower and upper body movement at once.

well in the kinda slow run and shoot so hopefully they have something for running and changing weapons.

i always think that it would be cool if you were shooting at zombie and ran out of ammo with your primary and you could easily pull out your pistol and shoot with one hand while holding the primary in your other hand like against your chest or something.

Hickok 45! But yeah, I'm don't know code or anything so I don't know if this would be difficult or not.

They can at least think while running you could drop your primary and switch it to the secondary, and maybe do the same thing as for the other as well? I mean at least during the alpha :\

You should be required to have a sling attached to your weapon to switch while running.

Top comment = confirmed for SA!

Woah! Did my suggestion really just get added to SA? I feel like I contributed to DayZ and the community! I feel awesome! :D Unless of course, he already had that in mind?

We'll probably never know if he was already going to do it or not. But if he did get it from this, than thanks!
