threedogification 41 Posted December 5, 2014 Irl we can strap canteens onto our belt. Why would I waste backpack space when I could put it on my belt? That's why water bottles would be slightly inferior because you can't put it anywhere but a backpack or pocket. We defenitely should be able to externally carry canteens on our belts because it seems like all pants already have belts built in. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToySmokes 116 Posted December 5, 2014 I have been thinking of this for a long time now. We should really be able to tie alot of thinks on to our backpacks or belts if they get added. Canteens are one of them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
degude 133 Posted December 5, 2014 I like that idea, there was a lot of talking about carrying items outside of the "classical" inventory, e.g. with ropes, a belt would be a nice addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VermillionX 78 Posted December 8, 2014 There are a lot of large items that people irl hang or strap to their packs/belts that we have (Pots, Pans, Tents, Jerrycans, Canteens, etc). But until we have some kind of weight and/or stamina system it would just be an unfair way to carry large items without sacrificing carrying capacity.

RedDogMT 41 Posted December 8, 2014 The backpack storage could also just represent storage both inside and outside the pack. So, when you put your canteen in your backpack in game, you are really attaching it to the outside of the pack (although having it visually show up would be a nice visual effect). The same could probably be done for a few other items as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
