Knife rig into jumpsuit accessory

Post by Derpislav » 12 Aug 2015, 18:18

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):A belt can hold 8 non-throwing knives, and that's as many as four twos. And that's horribly much compared to the knife rig. So make it a jumpsuit accessory instead. I'm not going to trade 8 magazines for 3 knives, ever. No. Just no.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):So throwing knifes will be used at all.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Change it into an accessory.

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

It would actually give the knife rig a chance of being...used. +1

I take a throwing knife, but never the rig. I just have the knife in my pocket for a quick throw.

Why would you bring more than 1 knife, that is in your boot?

The person that added the knife belts in the first place would be able to answer you to that, but as for now, while they're already there, let's just make them use-able, right?

I never use the knife rigs because I just haven't been in a position where I've thought to myself "Wow, I could /really/ use a throwing knife right now..." But, if it's a jumpsuit accessory, I'd probably use it.

I keep one in my pocket for a quick throw at the aliens if I get disarmed.

Probably in case they lose that one... I had to fend off a xeno with my combat knife before, but I had my hand broken and got facehugged... Another marine saved me and got the hugger off, but until the shuttle got to the planet for wounded, my knife was gone.

So an extra knife, I'd take it. My loadout.. 2 SMG's, 2 Magnums, Ammo, all the flares I can stuff into my bags and belt, boot knife, service pistol and an extra mag for it in my armor slots. When I have webbing, I take an extra knife and a couple more flares. Or a donk pocket.

Iirc each throwing 'knife' is actually a stack of somewhere around 30 knifes. So you're not trading 8 slots for three knives, you're trading 8 slots for 90 knives.

I could be wrong. That's just what I remember.

As in, a jumpsuit attachment?

I'd be more likely to increase the number of knives and leave it as belt.
