Craftable knife sheath and pistol holster for your belt or modular vest

[HomerJay]

What always bothered me in DayZ, is that you can't carry things on your belt, especially a knife. And now that the Hunting knive is in game it bothers me even more.
So here is the idea:
You can craft a knife sheath and pistol holster for your belt from tanned leather like all the other leather items, becaues lets be honest, who the ♥♥♥♥ needs a leather canteen, the chestholster sucks when you want a vest and the platecarrier holster is a pain in the ♥♥♥ to find. Of course you could only carry the sheath or the holster at a time.

I think the holster should look like a WW1 style holster and the knife sheath like the KA-BAR USMC leather sheath, just google both if you don't know what the Items look like.

A sheath for the machete would also be nice because carrying it on your back like you do now would hurt your sholder a bit.

What do you guys think about this?

Holsters might be a thing once the new inventory system is in.

You don't need a new inventory system for this. It would work just like the chestholster (or the millitary boots / combat knife) except it would ride on your bellt. So in the current inventory system it would be displayed between your pants and your shirt. you could even go real badass and carry a magnum on your cest and on your hip

The Chest holster is a vest, not a real holster. We don't have belts with the current inventory system.

Holsters may be possible when the inventory system is re-written to be more truly object-oriented. Its a nice-to-have item we'd like to add eventually.

Actually this would be a nice addition for the smersh vest setup, pistol holster for "pistol" only 4 slots giving you more inventory space as full ghillie etc. does not allow a backpack freeing up space for snipers. Maybe they could make the chest holster an addon to the smersh vest? increase the space some more and turn something rarely used into a more sought after item? :p

yeah it would be cool if you could attach these to the two modular vests in game. this way you wouldn't need a belt or new Inventory system. The main reason I made this post is, because it annoys me to carry knives/pistols loose in a random pocket or at the bottom of your backpack

I totaly agree with you, not to mention dragging a firearm out of the pockets of a jacket etc. is just hard to do...
You do know you can carry some knifes in the army boots?

Yes I know, but the millitay boots can only carry a combat knive, but i havn't found one in half a year, I don't no if it only spawns on heli chrashes or not, but anyways this can't be the only possible solution to carry a knive realisticly

Helicrash only so far, only place I've found one :\ And no, it should not be lol. Personally I'd love to see stuff like the military water container/guns/knives/gasmask etc deployed "on" the character if you know what I mean (Worn like rifle/axe/backpacks etc.), would be awesome to craft holsters etc. for it and watch a kit "grow" hehe :D

pretty good idea for realism....the ammo pouch that come with a sks when you by one are pretty nice to!!using the rope as a craftable belt would be cool?

Did you check out the new http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Plate_Carrier? It has a pistol pocket and two addons for "pockets"

Found one of these on exp server earlier the day, didn't take it because I needed the inventory the standard UK vest provides, although haven't seen a single piece of the mentioned attachments for the vest..
