Weapon Holsters Update

**Tomo**

Hi everyone.

Today we bring to you an exciting update to the way weapons are carried. We feel that, for a long time, it has been far too easy to conceal weapons on your person with no consequences and with no real thought going into aggressive roleplay.

Because of this, all of the weapons you equip will now be displayed on your back, or some optionally on your hips.

It is important to note that the weapons displayed on your back are the largest ones and are non-optional. They will always be displayed while they are equipped. However, the weapons displayed on your hips may be concealed, if that is preferred, by utilising the new Weapon Display Customisation menu, found on the context menu (hold C).

While you may still equip as many weapons as you wish, only one of each category will be displayed on your person at a time.

The categories are as follows:

[Image: 4L2Ubkt.jpg]

Back right - Rifles (M4A1, Galil, AUG, AK47, Famas, MP5, Tommy Gun)
Back left - Shotguns/Sniper rifles (XM1014, M3 Super 90, AWP, G3SG1, Tranq)
Back center - Large melee (Baseball bat, Crowbar)
Right hip* - Pistols (USP, Glock, P288, FiveSeven, Deagle)
Left hip* - SMGs /small melee (MAC10, UMP, TMP / Knife, Blackjack, ASP baton)

* = May be optionally concealed

The left hip category can contain either small melee weapons or SMGs, depending on which you select in the Weapon Display Customisation menu, shown above.

Job specific items including the riot shield and fire axe will be displayed appropriately on your back if used while in the correct job.

Disclaimer: Some SMG weapons may have been deliberately placed in the rifles category, due to weapon size issues when they were being tested on the hip.

How will this effect the rules?
Please be cautious of how this new update will alter the likelihood of raid baiting and how the current style of careless aggressive roleplay will have to be changed slightly in order to avoid baiting which could, as you know, lead to punishment. This update was developed for a small step in favour of realism, as criminals will no longer be able to hide their large weapons up their backsides, and will have to rely more on planning and timing when practising their criminal activities.

We hope you enjoy this update!

It will be live on next server crash.

Very very nice James and Tomo.

It is more realistic!

Love how you don't have to display pistols. Makes pistols a lot more useful.

Good update.

EDIT: Now we need an animation that makes your model hold down to his side, like cops do!
