Being able to take out your pistol with one hand?

Recommended Posts

I had a crossbow with no arrows equipped and a makarov as a secondary and i'm running across a field, bleeding with 3 zombies after me. there was no way i could stop and switch guns without being overrun. This is a problem.

As I was running I knew that the only way I would be able to survive would be if i could hold my crossbow in my left hand and pull out my pistol! You could make it so that the aiming is a little more sensitive when you do this to compensate for the advantadge.

I wouldn't make it this way, as you hold the pistol with both hands.

I would rather see myself dropping my first weapon to the floor to quickdraw my secondary weapon.

One of those things that should definitively be around when the game goes standalone. Unfortunately, you shouldn't hold many hopes to see it implemented so soon.

Pistol drawing needs to be faster, definitely, but only for DayZ.

Quick pistol drawing is one of these areas that requires experimentation though, which fortunately, Rocket seems to like :P

The character puts the gun on his back, while running you would easily fall because you wouldn't concentrate on the ground, a root or a stone and you would lie on the floor and feed those zombies you ran away from.

I've been in the army and so has rocket. putting your rifle on your back and pulling out a gun while running is not a big issue.
