Bring back tool belt

Bring back the toolbelt like we had in the mod!

 

I know we have much more inventory to work with in general now but I still feel like it would be a nice thing to have. With hunting, fishing, and fire starting now in game there are more and more items becoming useful. For those of you that have never played the mod version of Dayz, there are many tools in the mod that have not been added to the standalone yet but that almost certainly will be. Going forward we can expect to see tools associated with both vehicle repair and building structures/fortifications, and that's just what we know is coming. Who knows what else they have come up during brainstorm sessions.

 

With the variety of inventory spaces we get through clothing and backpack I expect some people will say this is not necessary. To them I would say that right now you might be right, it probably isn't needed. But in the future when we start needing toolboxes, wrenches, hammers, e-tools, and whatever else we get, you might be wishing you had a tool belt.

 

Let me know what you think! 

 

P.S. I know toolboxes can't fit on tool belts. I'm willing to overlook that for the purposes of gameplay. Realistically a toolbox could easily take up half or more of a backpack and I don't think we want that. Another way to do this would be to have the toolbox fill the role that the tool belt filled in the mod. That would work great. Like a protector case but with many more slots.

My thoughts are no to having a tool belt like in the Mod. As it is now you have to make decisions on what you need/want to carry rather than being able to carry everything for all situations. Much too easy to have everything at your disposal at all times.

 

I could maybe see if it was an item that you found but not like the Mod where you have it permanently. 

 

If there's to be a toolbox(most likely) in the game we could put tools in it to save on on inventory space, much like the hard cases we have currently.

I agree that it should not be something you start with.

 

Also, the more I think about it the more I like the toolbox version of the idea better. In the mod you had a toolbox inside a tool belt..it didn't make sense. If we instead use the toolbox as the container we preserve the immersion a bit better.

i would prefer them to be like medi kits, where you can only fit certain items in them (hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, etc)

It would be nice to actually have a "Belt" slot for clothing where you can add additions such as pouches and packs.

 

More over I like the toolbox idea, the idea it primarily should hold mechanical or industrial equipment and/or items
