Best way to allow the ability to carry multiple primary weapons.

Straps

But ya let us craft slings for guns so we can carry one on a strap and the other on our back.

 

Also leg holsters....we really....really need leg holsters, bandoliers would be nice as well.

[DKR 104]

Pockets, pouches, bandoliers...all good things to be crafted. It would give the "lower tiered" loot higher value, as basic things like shirts and pants can be reused regardless of a player's "level". (via sewing kit and clothing items)

 

Belts, leg holsters, rifle bags, all good things. I'm sure we'll see something like that in the future.

You don't need more than one rifle and one pistol.  Unless you like gearing up an entire group of people when you die.

[soulfirez 901]

do we need more than 1 primary ???? Are you planning to go to war against a whole bandit group alone??? i guess i wouldnt mind the idea as much when the stamina system comes in (weight plus health equals stamina) then you would get a decent enough penalty to make it fit the risk reward idea...

Before the alpha came out Rocket talked about wanting to have attachments for your backpack that would let you strap primary/melee weapons to it.

[DMentMan 707]

i only need one primary and a secondary.

[Etherimp 1323]

I carry 2 primaries and a secondary at all times. I approve of this idea.

I like the idea of being able to carry more weapons in-game, but in theory.. in real life im not sure you are able to carry around more then 1 or 2 fullsize weapons with you. I might be wrong though, but the idea of having more straps and bags etc is nice i and i would definetly want to have that for the game :)

I like the idea of getting rid of the melee weapon and carrying and additional primary. If you are lucky enough to find a close and long range gun why not allow us to have them both at the cost of space or some other effect? Currently in game you can carry two but you drop one every time you make some action. It also stops you from running so you can only carry the additional primary gun in your hand. I think this is already punishment enough for carrying two primary guns. If they would remove the dropping of the weapon every time you do an action I would be happy with the penalty of slow movement. 

 

Alternatively they could let us replace our heavy axes with another primary. This would be ideal and would make sense due to the weight of an axe vs a rifle.

I'm carrying an scoped sks, a silenced fnx45, a sawn-off shotgun & a fireaxe.  And for a bit i was carrying a Blazer rifle in my hands.... I really don't think we need to be able to carry more. For gameplay balance if nothing else.. that seems like a lot to be carrying in a post zombie waste land

[ballehakan 34]

A few smaller weapons would be nice. Like a Bizon, Kashtan or PP-2000 (or any other pdw/smg).

 

You can have them in your vest or backpack and pull them out when you need something better than a pistol and less cumbersome than a mosin.

So? ...

 

If I was a survivor and found weapons I'd want my leg holster so I have my sidearm, I'd want to carry my rifle but at the same time this other weapon could come in handy.

 

Right now we can carry two weapons, but it is a bit tricky as you have to drop one to get access to the other... and dropping can take some time to show up again... if you drop inside a building there is a chance that weapon might vanish completely.

 

This is a good idea and I support it.

It would be really nice, if you could duct tape a primary to your hat.

welcome to COD: DAYZ edition

[PsyStormZ 20]

I would be ok with an m4 or rifle fitting in the backpack like the shotgun. 

[Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036]

Why not just revert back to the old school shooter days where we can carry every single weapon in the game and just mouse scroll through them  :rolleyes:

I am in tears, beans for you.

 

In real life it isn't practical to carry more than two firearms usually a primary and a sidearm such as an m4 and an m9, people don't tend to realize the shit gets heavy especially when you start adding in shit tons of ammunition. It is better to remain light and lethal than slow and armed to the teeth (unless you're a SAW gunner) That being said I wouldn't mind you being able to carry whatever weapons you wanted if they actually took a bunch of slots in your pack and a characters speed/fatigue was affected by the weight they are carrying. By all means carry all the weapons but you shouldn't be able to sprint more than a hundred meters before being completely wiped and hurting.

[deepfried 95]

A more reliable way of carrying two primaries would be welcome, though I think anything like that needs to be factored into a weight and fatigue system, there has to be a realistic downside to carrying more weapons.

 

Some people don't seem to see the value of carrying multiple primaries... well not all of us play alone, and sometimes its nice to be able to grab a spare rifle for a friend.

+ fatigue system

+ weight system

 

...carry as many weapons as you can strap to your body. IF it has downtimes.

I play with a group but we carry different primaries so we can cover different ranges.

Fixed for you.

its not about "need". its about the ability to be able to carry one more if i want to.

or even put a disassembled m4 in my mountain backpack. it should be possible.

 

i also "dont need" more than 1 sewing kit, and still i can carry 50 of them, if i liked.
