Inventory - carying large items.

[gibkibongo 1]

Hi there!!

 

I hope it isnt to late for this kind of suggestions, but it was bothering me since ive started to play dayz.

 

I have an idea regarding big items like jerry can, tank traps, rotor engine, and any other stuff that in real world would be to big to fit into your backpack.

Its just seem odd to me that big rotor engine fits to the backpack or your vest (sic!), and that you can pack your dmr into the allice pack (there is no way you could do this in rw)

So i think it would be nice, and realistic, that those items could/had to be placed in your inventory as a primary weapon, so your character would carry them in his hands.

Allso if you have a rifle u could put it on your shoulder, so your hands (primary weapon slot) becomes free, and enables you to carry other weapon, or jerry can for example.

To place your gun back to your hand from your shoulder u would have to drop anything you are holding in your hands (primary weapon slot), unless its the other gun, in this case you should be able to just swap them.

And if you are carying non weapon item in your primary weapon slot you wouldnt be able to swap to your secondary weapon (pistol) aswell, unless ofcourse you drop it. The same thing with the situation when you have one rifle on your shoulder, and one in your hands, swaping to secondary weapon would result in droping rifle from your hands.

 

Just say, wouldnt it be nice if things worked that way? ;)

I don't see a problem. 

My car broke down recently in RL. I had to carry the windshield glass, engine block (big V8) jerry cans, a spare tire, my hatchet (I was quartering a moose),

all at the same time. Here's a pic (that's my buddy in the Heli)

lol at the pic.  

 

but seriously yeah, its absolutely ridiculous...   so ridiculous that one must just assume that it will be dealt with in SA, i mean theres no way they will let that fly... even shoving a can of beans in your jeans pocket is ridiculous!!!

 

i mean pockets are for things that, well, fit inside pockets.  like keys (keys for vehicles?)  or loose cartridges.  

 

there needs to be a volume system, nevermind weight... thats not as important.  volume has got to start making more sense. or i dont know what ill do!

 

people will probably hate on this idea though because people suck and fear things that dont suck.  just sayin.
