Is carrying two primaries weapons not really possible now?

[Zed's Dead 67]

I noticed that if I try to hold a second primary rifle in my hands while one on my back like we used to, my character will only hold the rifle in the "ready" position with it pointed and I walk really, really slow.

 

Is there any workaround to this?   So I can lower the second rifle in my hands and walk like we used to?

 

Or must I give my fully kitted out AKM if I want my Mosin?

You can't press the spacebar? Always lowers my weapon.

 

I was running with an AK-101 on my back and an AKM in-hand all day yesterday just fine.

Hmmmm, maybe I just had the no response problem after trying the spacebar to lower hands and it did not go through. And I just assumed this was that new issue of going slower with gun while walking since new update.

Normally, the right mouse click will lower a pointed weapon but it did not work. Hopefully, it was just severe client side lag.

Did that problem only occure on the server you were on? 
Your gun is bugged maybe, happened to me often. Only relog and it should be fine (in most cases)

[Zed's Dead 67]

Yeah could be, i just picked up weapon on one server and there was lag. So Ill probably be ok on a new server, thanks.

Friends of mine carried two weapons without problems - aside from the intended slower movement for holding a weapon.

 

Note that you will now move much slower when having the weapon pointed and really slow when aiming.

I do sort of think that ARMA III's tiered stance system would be great for DayZ now.

personally, I'd avoid any tricks that circumvent designed carry limits.  a day could come when all those things carried 'illegally' could just suddenly vanish.

Er, these aren't "tricks." He's just having an issue with it.

 

Being able to have a weapon stored on your back, and have one "in-hand" is an intended feature.

Tricks? It's no trick to carry something in your hands, weapon or otherwise.

I had some strange behavior with a rifle today - it was not readying that was not available, but I could not go to aim mode (looking down the ironsight). Re-log didn't work.

Dropped it, unloaded it, picked it up, loaded it again and it worked fine.

Ah, maybe there is a new bug.

Would not be an good DayZ patch if it didnt break more stuff than it fixes... :)
