A major buff that seemed to go unnoticed in the recent changes

Post by rev_benji » 16 Aug 2017, 21:50

So, helmets were changed to not be able to accept flare pouches, mags, tricord autoinjectors, and other stuff that unrobust players think they need to survive. This is definitely a good change because that was super lame.

To compensate for this, helmets can now hold 2 items. This is a MASSIVE buff for smokers. You can now hold 2 full packs, with a lighter and your round start cigar in two of the 12 available slots in the packs. This means that I can keep smoking for a ridiculous amount of time, and won't run out and have to switch to golds (puke) on the off chance that I don't get bored of FOB duty and wander into the jungle and die.

Yeah I don't know what coders are thinking to be honest. This is completely gamebreaking, if its not quickly reverted I'm going to exploit the fuck out of it.

I now fully support the recent changes.
"Memories can be vile. Repulsive little brutes, like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can't face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren't contractually tied down to rationality. There is no sanity clause. So when you find yourself locked down in an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember: There's always madness. You can just step outside and close the door, and all those dreadful things that happened, you can lock them away. Madness... is an emergency exit."

Bro- you all don't even know about putting coffee in your armour slots, and dipping ALL your cigarettes in coffee, then restocking the coffee to get refilled coffee. Now your entire pack of cigs is basically full of coffee too.. Stay woke

You now, back in the old days, you could have up to 3 items in your helmets.

Sure, it was really limited what you could put on, but being able to have a pack of smokes, a flask, AND a lighter all at the same time was dandy. It was a sad day when they took away those 2 extra slots.

But now we are slowly returning to the old days of decorating helmets with all kinds of random nick-nacks and junk.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Used to stuff three burrito's in my helmet back when you could, Now my helmet is reserved solely for smokes and with the addition of this new slot even more smokes or possibly smokes and a burrito, The possibilities are endless!, Now if only you could stuff burrito's into a packet of smokes so you can carry one packet with smokes and one with six burrito's.
