So I, like a lot of people, I have been jonesing for 2.2 to be released. While I was watching content on YouTube that the super lucky PTU people have been posting, I came across this. Your character actually carries the weapons it picks up... it isn't a GTA style inventory, it is actual items that you have to carry. What this potentially means is that you will have to decide which weapons are important for you to carry... it might even mean you walk slower if you are carrying more stuff. What does everyone think about this? Good or bad?
Yeah man I'm right there with you on rolling out 2.2. I haven't been playing much till now but this 2.1 has got me off the bench. I've been playing 2.1.2 for a little bit each day for the last week or so and at least for me, its pretty buggy. Lots of crashes. I reinstalled the whole thing last night, still buggy. It will be nice to get 2.2 and try out that ATT4. Bummer when I saw there was no ATT4 in there waiting in the locked room in Kovalex (2.1).
Eh. Carrying stuff slung like that works for me, even if there is a mobility hit. For dangerous missions, a rifle and a pistol should work, leaving space for another if you find one you want to keep. I'm not thinking I'll be needing to carry 3 or 4 weapons normally. A pistol will probably be enough for most of the time and they are sure to come out with some monster pistol/hand cannons I would think.
How often are you going to get into a firefight in the verse anyway? Especially once permanent player damage and death become the norm?
A lot of the ships have weapons racks too (nice touch) so on board you won't have to look like Rambo. I imagine they will have a backpack or something you can store stuff in that you pick up in your travels.
