Lower your pistol

[[email protected] 9]

Hello Survivors :)
I noticed this afternoon that we can lower our pistol, but it's something like a bug which appeared with 1.8 and primary and secondary weapon system.

To do it, take your secondary weapon (your melee weapon), lower it, then take your pistol, double tape Control like if you want to lower it, and take your primary weapon. Your pistol will be lowered. To switch on your primary, double tape control or just crouch. It works only if you're stand.

So if you can do it with that "bug", maybe it's something that the devs can bind it to a key ?

Please Devs, give your opinion.

I know in Arma 3 you can lower your pistol by double tapping CTRL.

This was a problem in Arma 2 DayZ which made situations with two survivors with pistols very tense, because neither of them could lower their weapon.

Am I missing something? I've always been able to raise-lower my pistol when using the space bar....

Did you remap your keys ?

Because by default, space bar is the communication menu for Arma 2 which is not used in DayZ.
