What could possibly be looted?

When you die all your remaining ammo and inventory items are put into a coffin (maybe weapons as well, someone know?), when another player uses the coffin they can replenish their supplies. Its a lot like in TFC how players would drop backpacks, or in CS how they drop their guns.

Exqactly. It's helpful tog et back the ammo you spent on killing a guy if you both used the same weapon. I think anyhting can be looted, including weapons and equipment, as long as you have the cert for it.

I guess people arent going to want to fight the Vanu much, cant get their ammo back

Unless they steal a Vanu weapon, or the Vanu use common pool. That punisher looks great!

I dunno, it would only work if it was automatic, that once you "Looted" the body, it would automatically take what you could use at that moment, such as the ammo for the guns you are holding. Cause i dont think with 100+ people nearby the corpse are gonna stay around long. Plus your in mid battle, the fighting aint gonna stop for you to check out a corpse thats laying around. And switch around weapons.

Toimu, might wanna get your eyes checked mate

I doubt there will be much looting in heated battles. But it will definatly come in handy sometimes

Ludio · 2003-01-21, 09:34 AM

So do you have to open an inventory screen to loot a coffin? Or does it just automatically pick up anything you can use that you have space for?

Hamma · 2003-01-21, 09:36 AM

Its an inventory

Sputty · 2003-01-21, 10:36 AM

I'm sure after a battle it'll help save some time. It'll be more useful to scouts an expeditionary forces. In a large battle if they planned on going to another base or had to face anther battle soon it might be helpful. Also, Toimu should stop doing drugs. Or was he trying to fool someone? Or did tazz edit his post?...hmmmm....Too many choices. tazz you edited, didn't you?
