Vest with weapon sling attachment.

[Roshi (DayZ) 397]

Disclaimer:

1) I know slings have been discussed before, but I don't think quite in this context.

So:

1) Just as you can have a pistol holster on the plate carrier, how about an optional 2nd primary weapon sling that attaches to the plate carrier; and/or have some vests with a built in sling for a second primary, perhaps at the expense of pocket capacity.

2) Thinking for M4, AKSU, MP5, UMP, and shotties.

3) The weight/fatigue system if properly implemented should limit ridiculousness.

4) Perhaps penalise crawling in someway with a second primary on the front of your chest.

5) Would be great from the perspective of climbing ladders, using your hands without dropping the 2nd weapon in your hands.

6) Perhaps a speed advantage for getting this second primary in and out of your hands, but slow to disconnect from the sling to drop the weapon or give it to a buddy.

PS I still don't understand why vests (and other 'container' clothing aren't partitioned into pockets. Makes a lot of sense. Also it would be great if you were unable to access items in your back pack from the quick bar - only items in the 'golden triangle' of anterior trunk, arms and legs would make sense (but that's by the by).

Thoughts, feelings?

dislike the idea in general, as it is just another complicated concept aiming for the ability to carry more guns. a 2nd primary stored for transport - ok. but the ability to carry one gun slinged over the shoulder, one at the chest, pickaxe over the shoulder, backpack, vest, etc. and still being able to engage in combat? imho the effort to realize your ideas for rebalancing doesnt match the outcome.

 

regarding your last point - would it make sense to change the old inventory before the new one is ready to go?

I support this only because double gunning is currently poorly developed as you can't even go into vehicles while double gunning.

Surely an easier option than this would simply be that any item in your hand was automatically placed in the vehicle inventory when entering assuming a) you didn't have room in your own and b ) there was room in the vehicle's

I just want the chest holster to be able to be worn over vests.

I think double carrying should be a burden, like it already is.

 

As to the truck comment, put it in the truck inventory.  Assume you're already carrying your shouldered primary on your lap because who wants to sit against their rifle?
