Usage of both hands

[panos21 27]

Greetings fellow survivors.

 

My suggestion is simple, with one hand you can use a flash light or any other light source , and with the other hand a pistol. Also it would be nice to have an option on which hand goes what, for example "Equip pistol on right hand" or "Equip flashlight on right hand" etc etc.

 

Of course, using a pistol with 1 hand, means less accuracy, but I`d take less accuracy with no protection at all anytime of the week!

 

Thanks for reading me!

I thought about that too.

 

Especially about a gun in each hand, that would be a hell lot of fun.  :D

Or dual close combat weapons, I really would like to swing two axes around my head  B)

do you remember the old "banana on your finger" thing? while i don't disapprove of the idea, i don't think it's reasonable with the engine and framework.

earlier versions of the game had a bug where if you had an item in your hand and did an emote thing, you would balance the item on your hand. that is the banana on your finger thing.

 

the engine was built to carry an item in your hands, not two. the UI is wrong, animations would be fucked and things would generally be more effort than it would be worth.

You'll only get beans if you manage to design an interface that works well with this system and isn't clumsy as hell.

Well thats easy, you could just split up the "HANDS" section in the TAB-menu, so you can place something in the left and the right hand.

- If one of those spaces is not used, the character uses both handy by default.

- Putting some a pistol in the right hand and a torch in the left could easily realize the described problem.

- With heavy objects like a M4 or a shovel both hands could automatically be used and not further items could be added.

- Each character could be either right or left handed, so when the gun is put into the weaker hand, the skills of that weapon could be decreased.

Or even better, the devs can actually work on it, you know since it`s their job and not mine.

You're the one making a suggestion.

You're the one making a suggestion.

As a customer who bought the game.

 

In real life, when you pay for something, I think you have the right to suggest things.

I think it would be great for just the flashlight, who couldn't hold a gun or a knife and a flashlight?

 

And who needs two hands to hold a flashlight? Currently it's pretty stupid and switching things is so unresponsive that holding a flashlight makes you defenceless, press 1 to switch to your M4 because 4 zombies are running at you...seconds later the M4 is taken out, just as they're all ripping you apart.

 

 

I don't see what would be so unreasonably difficult about making one animation for holding two things, it's a fairly basic concept and definitely should be done at some point.

If I want to hold my precious tactical bacon and a can opener at all times I damn well should be able to!

 

 

It would be especially great for getting shot at, because imagine you're running about at night with your flashlight in two hands, get shot and then all your guns are broken.

But with using both hands you could already have your pistol out, get shot and have all your guns but said pistol broken, meaning you can still actually defend yourself.
