holsters and other ways of carrying weapons

[Tooks]

These have probably been discussed before but ive been thinking over ideas now we have things like twine in the game.

Crafting together a weapon like an axe or a shotgun with twine makes a weapon you can carry over your shoulder reducing it's carry weight when not in use. Additionally you can find (rarely) a holster for pistols (perhaps the police officer can start with this)

Either have new or replace the 1 and 2 quick weapon options for switching between upholstering or putting away your weapon.

For those of you who have played neo scavenger think of how weapons work in that game.

I don't think upholstering your weapon would be very quick. You'd also need to have a stapler and suitable fabrics in your inventory.

I meant unholstering this is what I get for posting suggestions from my phone D:

well, what good is an ugly holster?

 

i mean come on, ya gotta at least give it your initials, or the name of the gun that resides in it.

A lot of rifles come with straps a belt would.work if fitted correctly.

The gunshop in westpoint might even stock straps

I have waded in on this once, so I will do so again.  :

 

1.  With a belt you could attach say 5 hard points: holster, ammo pouches, d-ring (flashlight or club holder), etc.  The problem is beltss gear on them make you louder.  So expect to take a hit on your sneakyness.  Faster than taking it out of a bag.

2.  We need an option for bra pistol rig.  This has three hard points (holster and ammo).  Dont take as large of a hit to stealth.  Not as fast as taking it out of a belt holster, though it is close.

3.  Pancake holster - holds a gun at your waist line.  About as fast as a traditional hip holster for drawing your weapon

4.  Ankle Holsers - holds a gun, slower than pulling a weapon of of a bra pistol rig.

5.  Shotgun bandolier.  For ease, lets say the belt holds 20 shotgun shells.  Increases reload speed of a shotgun.  Take a hit on your nimbleness.

 

I would have the characters have a torso hard point and an ankle hard point.  So a player can wear a traditional belt, pistol bra , pancake holster or bandolier on the torso.  They could then have the additional ankle holster.  Ammo in either rig would increase reloading speed.

 

Now I have seen some movies were people strap shotgun cases to their backs, but I have never seen it on a person I have every run across.  Straps for shotguns are very common and do make them easier to carry.  However, they also get in the way.  Imagine climing through a window with a long gun a strap on it "at the ready" or running through the brush with the strap trying to grab every branch in sight.  They are nice when you are walking about but a pain in combat conditions.  If you want to use a strap with a weapon (I say attach a belt, it is already in the game) then you can draw the weapon out of your backpack faster (to simulate having it slung over your shoulder) but you take a hit to nimbleness as things tend to get snagged on it.

 

 

For balance, I would make this gear VERY rare in houses (except the belt) and rare in police stations & the Gun Store.
