Pistol Holster Idea

[exomonkeyman 103]

You know you love your sidearm! You want it at all times right? Well it sucks when you put it on your chest holster or even your pants or top and you get shot once and then your backup pistol get's wrecked. What's good about a backup pistol when it's wrecked. Well these ideas can fix that and improve/be cool in many other areas.

 

Big Military Pistol Holster

Rare

(4 Slots) pistol slot

Goes on character

Spawns in military style area

%43 faster in getting sidearm out! + PISTOL PROTECTION (Faster speed but holster is bigger therefore it can be shot MUCH easier)

 

Police Pistol Holster

Medium

(4 Slots) pistol slot

Goes on character

Spawns in military style areas + in police station or RARE in civ houses

%33 faster in getting sidearm out! + PISTOL PROTECTION (Slower speed but holster is smaller therefore it's harder to get your pistol shot)

 

WITHOUT a pistol holster the pistol will go in the character back pocket being slower to get out but still faster than a M4.

 

Holsted/Not holsted pistol can also be seen on character model at all times even with M4 AXE + lots of other gear, this will show the other player that this player is ARMED as pistols can currently be holsted and not seen when holsted unlike AXE's M4's ect ect.

 

And last thing dual weapons. It might be OP but i'd LOVE to have a 2nd main weapon on my guy. But it takes like %22 Slower to get that gun out.

 

It would be really really cool in my opinion if you put your bigger backpacks back at camp and you went in cherno with a smaller backpack + just a sidearm on your thi OR in your back pocket,  less to loose when you die and you WILL be faster than almost every player there. In & out quickly.

 

Short overview:

Pistol holsters will

1.Help character development

2.Help know when someone is armed (Checking players out before saying hi to them will benefit you well)

3.Help keep your pistol VERY SAFE. It's hard for it to get shot with it on your side.

4.Pistol being seen at all times in there back pocket.

5.Faster pistol switching.

Haha what you got in there son? Water a house? Did you bring the airfield with you?

Yes! I would love that. It might be interesting to have it have 2 less storage spots (4 total) but a faster draw. It would be a tradeoff someone would have to when choosing that or a 6 slot item with no bonuses.

In theory you should be able to equip both the suggested items so you can have 2 side arms. One on your back (former pic) and one on your side (latter/police pic).

 

EDIT - actually, looking at the pic again.. is the holster on your back or your side in that? Guess that would change things, haha

 

The downside to having all this stuff (huge backpack, 2 side arm carries, heavier pants and shirt/jacket, large melee weapon and primary rifle) should either be that you're slower, get tired more easily, or have to eat/drink more often.. or all three. Would be cool to choose between being lean and mean so you can move around quicker or to be buff and slow but have every weapon imaginable on you, haha.

Yes really want a leg holster

[MCRoadkill 7]

Either make the draw pistol speed equal or make the military version better than the police version.

Military is always better then police issue.

But i like the leg strap.

I wish you would have a tactical belt where you could hang on two or three items like a police holster, magazine pouches, a med pack, an e-tool, mini-hand axe or machette.

You could also include a ww2 pistol holster that goes on a tactical belt, wich has space for a pistol and extra clip.

They both go on your thi

 

and that's a good idea. Smaller backpack M4 + pistol lighter movement.

 

That actually gives a reason for hiking with bigger backpacks. And a few more rests. It would be really really cool in my opinion if you put your bigger backpacks back at camp and you went in cherno with a smaller backpack + just a sidearm on your thi OR in your back pocket,  less to loose when you die and you WILL be faster than almost every player there.
