Picking Up Weapons

@BrawlerAce_ you took that idea from you know which server :B

 

Brawler ive been thinkling of this for so long.Just make a plug in where all you idems drop when you die and let people pick up dropped items, right?

 

Idea 1 and 2 are the best out of the 3, idea 3 being the greatest. Very well thought out. The only thing that you forgot to mention was that is cod, when you pass over the weapon is shows that you can pick it up. I guess that if this could be coded you could put it over the XP bar. This way you do not have to always look at the ground to find a gun.
Oh, I would also like to mention that if any of these ideas are considered, donator guns should not drop on the battlefield, even if you own it you should not be able to pick one up.

 

Can you switch out your secondary for a primary like someone dule weilding m16s?

 

I would not put it n chat because of this scenario. You are on red, and the blue team is spawn killing you. You die, and respawn. Your chat is then spammed with 30 messages saying that there is a gun you could pick up. The item notification where your current gun and ammo is would be a little better in my opinion.

 

That could work. May I suggest an idea i just thought of? :V
Ok, so in slot of your hot bar farthest to the right, you have one items (we will use red due and green dye for examples). When you are not near a weapon that you can pick up, the item is red dye. Now let's say you are nearby an m16 on the ground. The red dye would automatically be replaced with green dye, meaning that you are in range to pick up the weapon.
Pros:
You know when you can get another gun.
It would be easily noticeable.
It will not get in the way of your items or HUD.
Cons:
You do not know what gun you will pick up unless you look at it. (easy way to fix this is to just switch back, ex. iso for m16, you then pick your iso back up)

 

What if you only could pick up guns that you unlocked v:

 

How do you prevent exploitation by suicide?

 

idk if I would want this for a few reasons 1 lvl 31+ guns in the hands of lvl 1 players 2 someone could commit suicide a ton of times with the iso then the whole other team has the iso.
other than that I would love to have this on mc war!!!!!

 

Team member 1: I really wish I had a better gun, I wanna level up!
Team member 2: Hey! I can help you out!
Team member 1: Ok! How?
Team member 2: Watch this! *walks over to dirt and breaks it with secondary* *respawns* Ok, now pick up my skullcrusher!
Team member 1: Ok, thanks! *Picks up skullcrusher and walks away*

OR

Team member 1: Crap! I am on a 14 ks and I am out of ammo!
Team member 2: Hey! If I suicide you can take my ammo!
Team member 1: Ok!
Team member 2: *suicides*
Team member 1: *Picks up ammo and proceeds to EMP, then nuke because he has scav

 

Yeah, but with prestige guns such as iso or skull, or even python, 5 ammo is plenty to kickstart your ks again

Another question, would one be able to pick up lethals and tacticals? I mean, in actual "war" for example, can't you just pick up a grenade and chuck it?

 

I like idea 3 v: That's what my thread on picking up guns was about :v

 

I think 3 or 2 would be a good idea because some times I run out of ammo and I need another gun or to use my other gun. So i think it would be a good idea, and the new players would not rule the server just because they picked up a c-bow or a ray gun.
