Opstad 1 Posted October 28, 2017 Hi there I am a Active user of Arma3 and have been for years now, but there is one improvment that i am missing. And that is the way we "Holster" the main weapon... to day as you might know we Holster it on the back like a hunting rifle... so my tip is to Change the whole holster setup from the Back to the Cheast like the moast units in real life do... with the stock up and the pipe down.. like it was on a 2 point sling. That is a big wish for the next Update. Best reguards sergeant major, Opstad of the: Norwegian Task force, Norway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janez 530 Posted October 28, 2017 I wouldn't hold my breath in your place. That would probably introduce all kind of clipping issues and more trouble to iron out then it's worth. It would just look more tacticool, rather then impact gameplay in a meaningful way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also its just a selection of the model, a mod already does that with its platecarriers. Not an issue imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted October 31, 2017 @M. Glade I believe that you are mistaken and the original poster was talking about placement of the primary weapon when switching to sidearms, which is gameplay-relevant irrespective of faction because it affects the sidearm draw time and thus I'd call it a legitimate issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

en3x 209 Posted October 31, 2017 There is a trick to this and its possible in vannila arma. Just goes to show that is technically possible. Equip launcher, hold it and go prone. Launcher will be put on your back and your both hands will be free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the OP's wish it to carry rifles 'holstered' in a *realistic, modern* fashion and not on your back. I agree with Janez that BI probably won't change it, clipping issues being the main reason. The long/big sniper rifles and machine guns cause problems with clipping. Probably same reason why soldiers don't show their rifle in cargo position (like they did in OFP).

en3x 209 Posted October 31, 2017 Oh the sling "holster". Yeah It ran past my radar when I was reading. Is there a game out that does that? I can't recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bars91 956 Posted October 31, 2017 Not to mention the out-of-place look it would give to ANY mod older then 2000's (90's, cold war, Nam, WW2 etc) so no, just don't... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just press "toggle raise weapon" or whatever it is called in A3. E: With the launcher in your hands first, ofc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
