Pistol Quick Draw

[Silver-Spy 0]

When an animation of anything starts our character is pretty much vulnerable, we cant move. The cancel action is slow and time to draw a weapon when someone is coming is impossible.

What if, there is a scroll option of 'Quick Draw' where we can draw a single handed pistol is 2-3 secs. This would only work if you have a pistol hostler.  This give incentive to have a the hostler over a vest and to have a secondary pistol. The item action in which quick draw is used goes to leaft hand and the gun to the right. You cant aim down sight with one hand and in 4-5 sec you will be switched back to two handed pistol. 

Please post your thoughts.

Let's just wait until they reworked the inventory / action bar system and everything is fine. We wont need a special quick draw function and even if, why shouldn't you be able to aim / keep it for longer than 4-5 sec?

If there are other people on the server do not walk around with your gun holstered, you'll either die or you'll find yourself in a "who can draw faster" contest.

You shouldn't have said "quick draw" ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the current draw-times are fine. As well as for pistols and rifles.

However, you should always be able to move (=walk, run & sprint) while doing so.

Stopping, just to get the Axe off the back is a bit un-handy and weird, IMO ^^

 

 

but your idea of giving the holster an advantage is quite good, since it actually gives the Holster a use.

I think pistols should be faster to equip and use than rifles. Another thing that would make pistols actually viable in the game.

The should be a pistol slot.

Freely moving while accessing you inventory and having to drag and drop the pistol is lame.
