Saw this, this was the only thing I saw that made me think, I love you. All others was icing on the cake.

[iBane 381]

Don't understand 

• Gear: hard headgear (ballistic, moto, construction and pilot helmets) cannot be wear together with masks

Military gas masks and military helmets are meant to be worn together.  

[blank85 21]

Don't understand 

• Gear: hard headgear (ballistic, moto, construction and pilot helmets) cannot be wear together with masks

Military gas masks and military helmets are meant to be worn together.  

 

I could be wrong but I think its face masks not gas masks.

[Highlander007 249]

So now I can't eat a lot of beans before I run coz it will give me gas and that will cause heart palpitations when I run...or?

 

Map: New Orthodox Chapel has been created

 

Can we pray for perma storage in there?

[carlosdmc 27]

Great patch, thanks!

 

Only thing I don't like is this:

 

• Gear: hard headgear (ballistic, moto, construction and pilot helmets) cannot be wear together with masks

I hope it applies only to the Payday masks and not to the gas mask.

[Young Trotsky 69]

Man, if items really appear instantly when you drop them on the ground now that is going to be a huge improvement!

Now I'd like to see an option if you have canned tuna in your hands, you'll be able to open it by using the tab that's on the can.

 

Little things like this makes the game much more enjoyable ;)
