Carrying 2 rifles in DayZ

[blacklabel79 949]

Hall said gun-bags are being considered.

 

that and...wasent it also said that they gonna prevent you from having 2 main weapons since the one you carry in your Hands will dissapear when you log. ( or stay on the ground but wont travel with you to another Server )

I thought the 2nd rifle in your hands appeared in your inventory when you log in.

At the very least.... should be able to store a rifle in your backpack at the cost of some storage space!

That indeed is how it is NOW. they gonna fix it. Iam all for gunbacks or rather, more Options to "pimp out" backpacks with say...rope/burlap sack to craft a gunbag or backpack attachment wich holds the second rifle.

MP parts M4, sawed off shotty and 1911er pistol is enough for me!

 

ist so lame goin on a journey not being able to eat, drink without laying your weapon down!

I don´t see an end of this discussion. As soon as we are able to carry 2 primarys, people want to have 3, 4 or 5 to have the best one for every possible situation (close combat, long range, silent kills, different type of ammo........)

[brumey 116]

 would be cool if we could store some weapons in a persistent storage (like a Basement, stove, fridge, Little box, )

 

i love to roam the lands woth Little to no gear!

 

i managed to get 200 000 $   in wasteland this way!

I typically carry a pistol and a sawed off shotgun in my bags, a fireaxe and LRS equipped Mosin on my back and an M4 in my hands.

I have lost that M4 numerous times due to server restarts after I've put it down to eat or scope out a city with the Mosin.

Kinda pisses me off but then I just run back to one of the military bases and grab a new one. :P

You should not be able to carry multiple rifles without drawbacks. You have one for free already (glued to your back with no additional gear needed) and the same goes for melee weapons (also glued to your back with no additional gear needed). One can argue even this is too much and should require something like a gun sling for example.

 

As backup/storable weapons we got smaller melee weapons, pistols and sawn-off shotguns and those take up inventory space. I can see the potential for a specialized backpack (or something that replaces your backpack) that can hold another rifle but it should come at a price (slow access*, not much other storage space, slows you down significantly).

 

*You need to put it into your hands and drop the rifle to the ground, then put away the bag and pick up the rifle. This way we got a rifle transportation tool without carrying a second battle-ready rifle as additional weapon.

how about swap your melee for a second one? Seems like an easy way to balance it

[ramsfan00 90]

Gordon Freeman can carry 8 guns... why can't I?

 

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Thats a poor excuse. They could easily balance it by making your stamina wear out faster once they implement that and a weight system for carrying. I see no reason why you cant be allowed to carry 2 weapons with a crafted strap or something at the expense of a movement penalty.

 

They may very well end up doing that. We just don't know at this stage.

More than 2 primaries is silly though. Having one on certain backpacks or via a gun bag falls into a realism category. Having 3-5 doesn't. Lines must be drawn.

[zeroy 240]

Why you want to carry 2 rifles?

 

Where do I start .... :) - If it was possible without having the second Primary in your hand I can gaurantee you everyone would have 2 primary.

[Katana67 2907]

I think the weight/stamina system needs to be implemented first, before we talk about adding capability.

 

That said, I'd like any other primary weapon to actually be visible on the character. I'd like it mounted horizontally on the character (i.e. ACROSS the shoulders/lower back) vice vertically.

 

No magically hiding an AS50 in your pack like was the case in the mod, if you've got another primary weapon, it should be visible to those who encounter you.
