Mag harness overrides weapon in suit storage

Post by Imperator_Titan » 23 Feb 2017, 08:47

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make any weapon with a mag harness on it override any current weapon in your suit storage.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Stops SADAR specs from losing their SADARs when they get downed because they have a weapon in their suit storage.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Simply make any weapon with a mag harness override the current weapon in your suit storage and make that weapon drop to the floor.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

http://prntscr.com/grdigl I totally succeeded in that btw, it was a badass kick-flip.

I cannot stress the amount of times I've seen someone drop their SADAR because they're carrying a M41A in their suit storage. Hell, it even happened to me a couple of times.

+1 I hate losing my shit just because something is in storage. And no, this does not buff Marines, or hinder xenos, if anything, there's still going to be a slight delay, and a SADAR will still fuck the user up in CQ.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Why don't you keep two M41As in both of your hands, a shotgun in your suit-storage and a machete on your back?

Don't carry that many weapons; the mag harness is already one of the best, if not the best attachment. There's also no real reason it would kick out your other weapon. Denied.
