gaweu 42 Posted January 27, 2014 There should be few things changed. 1. It should be possible to wear it on other piece of head gear like hats, helmets etc.2. There should be option to chose default angle of light. Either in options or by some new command.3. Different color of light? Red for example is less obvious from distance and gives good amount of light to see stuff around. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwolf (DayZ) 125 Posted January 27, 2014 Not all headgear will work out with this. Try putting a headtorch on a beret. It'll be fucked up.That being said, I would too like to see the headlamp on some kinds of headwear, and would also like it to be adjustable. Shouldn't be that hard to have 3 or 5 sets of angles adjustable from the inventory? I also like the idea of coloured light. There is a reason the army has toggable lights (red/white).

dayzintel 39 Posted January 27, 2014 I would like them to fix the angling issues when you have a weapon raised, at the moment it feels completely useless in combat situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted January 27, 2014 I would like them to fix the angling issues when you have a weapon raised, at the moment it feels completely useless in combat situations.Theres no reason to derail a suggestion like that, make your own thread about the subject or find an existing one....Back On Topic:It would be nice to get a headtorch, i use one my self, everytime i go hiking, so i know how valuable it is.But it should not fit on all of the headgear ingame, i think you are gonna have to choose, some helmets or a head torch.Ofc some items it should fit on, but it should be rare items. Like everything else in DayZ, it should have a consequense to it, not something you can use, at all times.Its all about the choices really, do i want a motor cycle helmet or a head torch?IRL it is ofc possible to use it with most kinds of headgear, but it should not be "that easy" in a game like this tbh.Exactly like you are able to use a handgun and a flashlight IRL, but not ingame hehe. My 2 cents ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkfish (DayZ) 339 Posted January 27, 2014 I think the brightness/illumination area should be nerfed in comparison to the regular handheld torch (or the handheld buffed to give a great spread), for the purposes of balancing. Headtorch would then mean you can still use weapons etc. but wouldn't be able to see as well as you would do using the hand torch. I agree with the ideas posed though, it is a bit odd that it's useless when looking down weapon sights and not being able to use it with a baseball/radar cap is just daft.

TomJeff 12 Posted January 27, 2014 I see no reason why head torch should be incompatable with any headgear. Well, maybe helmets because they arn't designhed for it. Its just an adjustable band. I would think the easiest way is to make it take up a different slot than headgear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 2 cents ;) You are right but they can easily achieve that by lowering spawn of headtorch itself since You always has Your flash light. Even changing batter that is in headtorch to some different type would make it even harder to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) First they should fix it. The character is always looking at the ground, especially when you have your gun raised. Edited January 27, 2014 by Sutinen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaweu 42 Posted January 27, 2014 First they should fix it. The character is always looking at the ground, especially when you have your gun raised. I mean this is like noraml that Your posture changes when u raise Your gun. But with option to set Your default angle of your headtorch u could adjust it to that position.
