[Santa fox 53]

Any word on how much the plate carrier can take in regards of space?

[AlxMrx 0]

I believe It is 10, and you can put a pistol inside it aswell (not sure about this)

Whos on? i'm  thinking were waiting for steam to bring the update to each region, which unfortunately means each region of the world gets it at slightly different times... but im sure its coming in the next hour for everyone =).

 

EDIT: DOWNLOADING IT NOW! I'm near boston so hopefully eerone else gets it in a few mins if not now!

Is this with the attachements or just the vest?

Try to restart steam, worked for me.

What's the persistence status in this patch?

Mandatory on all servers now or still just an option to the individual admin?

Also are there still weekly persistence wipes?

 

questions....questions...

I don't believe the Plate Carrier has any internal storage. According to my buddy's screenshots (link below), it sits at the top of your inventory like gloves do, for example.

 

You would have to add the pistol holster to carry a handgun, and the attachable pouches in order to carry other items, both of which must be found separately and attached to the vest. I'm not sure what kind of space the attachable pouches have, but I would guess maybe 4 or 6 slots?

- Weapon degradation.

- Suppressor degradation.

 

Why? Stupid worrisome mechanics that no one wanted.

This sounds interesting... is this while unconscious I take it? As if you've been shot inside?

I had to restart Steam twice before it worked. I should be on soon.

The real question is, when all pouches are found, where does the pistol go? Directly inside the vest or is there an external pocket for it?

 

Also when pouches are added, It goes to the vest slot.

Why is this making it into stable isn't this is what exp is for ?

Kinda depends on how fast they suffer from degradation. I just hope it's not as ridiculous as Dying Light's weapon degradation system.

Hmm. I'm not sure how all that will actually look in the inventory. I guess we'll find out! I know how it's supposed to work in theory, but I don't know what it will actually look like in the inventory.

4-8 FPS few seconds after logging on a server. Congrats for destroying the game.

Remove your launch parameters and then rage harder.

[HaveADeath 23]

I'm assuming weapon attachments were wiped or are bugged out, any word on this? I logged into .54 and my gun is stripped from everything but its mag.

Give Eugen a bit of time. The attatchments have been renamed internally over the last iterations, they might be there, the game just can't find it's models.
