Why do backpacks and machineguns exclude each other?

Recommended Posts

Why do backpacks and machineguns exclude each other? You should be able to wear both at once. In RL you can wear a backback and the same time hold a machinegun in your hands. For a backback it shouldn't matter if it is a M16 in your hands or a M249.

The limitation should be the movement speed or the stamina instead.

Concerning backpacks... it would be awesome if the pre-backpack-time-soldiers (Russians etc) could wear backpacks, too (and displaying them).

Install ACE mod:

- it's used on many multiplayer servers.

- you can carry backpacks at all times, incl. when carrying an MG, unless you already carry something on the back (like an AT launcher or a radio)

- both russians and USMC can carry any backpack.

Does it allow you to have a rocket launcher and sniper rifle at the same time?

Scroll your mouse > Select M249 to backpack > Pick up a backpack > Scroll your mouse again > Select Weapon M249 > Done

This is no engien limitation but a Mission limitation...more and more mission maker want their mission to be played in a realistic manner and that exlude the current "exploit" of MG-Sniper-AT gunners from Rambo's "School of victory through superior one man army".

Only in Domination and other missions which include this script. In the majority of missions, nope.

You mean you can't be a MG-Sniper-AT-AA-Medic-Engineer-Pilot-Field-Hospital-Brain-Surgeon? Bummer ...

One "Arma-legal" thing I like to do to increase firepower is to replace the default handgun with a Å korpion vz. 61 or a mini-Uzi which are classified as sidearms in Arma 2.
