Endless_Destruction Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Sometimes a weapon's reload speed is just a bit too long for me to survive. So, I switch to another weapon, but then the holster speed gets in the way. I would like a weapon "drop" button, so that my currently equipped weapon drops to the floor beneath me, and the time it takes to switch weapons is cut in half, since I only have to deal with the new weapon's unholster animation, not the holster animation for the old weapon. After I am done killing things, I could pick up my dropped weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurea_Hiigara Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not necessarily a bad idea, and the general function is there already thanks to Drahk Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquireAngel Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 But we have multiple holster rate mods, and reload speed mods, and quick melee. You already have enough at your disposal, why should DE implement a 4th option outside of some tediore reload tier stuff on a specific weapon?

TaylorsContraction Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Or double our weapon swap speed for same effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ograzzt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes, we definetly need more yellow markers on the map looking exactly like objective markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaptoVaughn Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Or just increase weapon switching speed. Dropping and picking up our weapons again is an inconvenient workaround. So if we happen to move after dropping, we have to go and find it again? What if we want to switch in midair and the weapon drops where it's difficult to pick up? There's no scenario where weapon dropping would offer any advantage over an equivalently sped up weapon switching. Hell, it's barely better than the current slow switching. At least I don't have to backtrack a couple tiles to get my weapon back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelkor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 This is why weapon swap speed needs to be much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Gunz Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Speed Holster aura mod, anyone? 'Bout as bad as not enough time to hack the console (Intruder mod anyone?) Edited October 24, 2016 by ThunderTitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless_Destruction Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Sure, there are mods for this, and there is the obvious solution of just having a flat increase in holster speed. However, each solution has its deficiencies. For instance, mods to fix this uses up valuable mod slots, which I would rather be using to boost power instead of adding what really should be in place already. Flat speed increases are great, but some weapons are more "difficult" to holster than others, such as dual weapons and giant melees. They just take longer to holster, so I proposed a "to hell with it!" button, dispensing with the holster animation entirely. This was just an idea of mine, simply wanted to throw this out there.
