Hold item in offhand while stationary performing action

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

What i suggest,is when the survivor is stationary and not moving,

he can be allowed to take an item to his offhand hand and perform the desired action

rather than dropping the last equipped item back on the ground/inventory.

A few examples to see what i mean:

 

 

SKS in hands,fireplace kit in offhand-deploy fireplace kit without removing SKS from primary hand slot.

SKS in hands,matches in offhand-light fireplace kit without removing SKS from primary hand slot.

SKS in hands,cooking pot with meat on offhand-place it on the fireplace without removing SKS from primary slot.

 

All theese actions,were made without having to drop an item in order to equip another,thus the system is alot

more practical.The same principle can be implemented on actions such as:oppening cans,bandaging,drinking eating etc.

But how I am going to ambush people then with their pants down?

 

Bad idea, downvote.

You already switch back to whatever you were holding previously after you finish an action.
What you're suggesting is  a lot of unneccesary and complicated mechanics which will only result in more bugs and nobody being happy.
