Let Us Holster A Banana

[blunce 991]

A pretty simple suggestion. As the title states, we should be able to put a banana in the chest holster.

 

It would also be cool if we could hold it in our hand the same way we would a pistol.

 

Why am I suggesting this? Well because in the end, DayZ is still a game. & games are meant to be fun.

 

I personally want to be able to do it for comical/novelty purposes.

 

Yes I know that the devs are working on far more important matters at the moment, & I wouldn't expect them to prioritize anything like this.

 

It's subtle gimmicks such as this that really make a game stand out in my opinion. Look at all the subtle easter eggs Bungie has done for the Halo series. They make people say "Hey, that's really cool that they did something like that".

 

I want to see how successful I can be holding up people with a banana. lol

 

I'm as serious as can be.  :)

 

Would anyone really be opposed to something like this? Has anyone else had an idea for a "novelty" mechanic such as this?

YEEESSS - this has crossed my mind several times (and funnily enough I'm sure I've seen this suggested before :P ), or duel wield them...

In all honesty I don't see any place for weilding a banana in what is intended to be a serious apocalyptic survival simulator.

 

When the basis for the argument for an idea is essentially "why not?" I think that says a lot about the idea in question.

Suggested like million times before :D, but good to know theres more people who is interested about it as I am :)

Yeah, I suppose it could be an immersion-breaker for some. I personally just have an easter egg fetish.

Aww man that's a bummer.  :(

 

It was worth a shot though.

 

The notes in that report are pretty funny  :lol:

 

Everyone wants to carry a banana in their chest holster!

Make it so you can spray paint the banana black and add attachments, too.

While I can agree that perhaps dedicating resources to this whilst other things are quite broken is be a waste, we do have payday masks, the ability to flip someone the bird, pink hard hats etc etc. If the implementation is easy, i say sure. As it is not much of a stretch from the many silly things we already have

I'm not really a fan of the Payday masks, but I recognise that Rocket was a fan of the game and wanted to feature a kind of homage to it in DayZ. Plus I don't really think that masks, bandannas, balaclavas or other items that one could use to disguise themselves are really that out of place in an apocalyptic scenario. The same applies to the gestures which I'm sure are useful to players who prefer a more RP-based play style.

 

I just don't see what the ability to holster or wield a banana would add to the game.

Can you not imagine this: 

 

The world is gone, your family is gone. There is no electricity and survival has become your ever present focus. Eventually you find another person, you're not quite sure if you should trust them but for now you do. Together you work on starting a campfire after days of scavenging, running and sneaking. The fire starts, you feel its warmth. In your pocket you feel the banana you were gifted by chance earlier in the day and you holster it. You pull it out and pretend to shoot your new companion. He laughs. You laugh, and for that one brief moment you feel normal again....

I never thought I'd hear the words holster, banana and "feel normal" in the same sentence.

This game is so serious I play it dressed like a survivor with a bug-out bag nearby in case a real zombie apocalypse happens.

HAHHAHA :D   ...If so i'm going to play hardcore and sneak behind someone and say: "hands up! this is a robbery! Drop your backpack and weapon"

And once i picked up everything i give him the banana and say goodbye :D
