Question about quivers

[Fernlicker]

Seeing that there are quivers for bows in the making, my question is will they occupy one large weapon slot on the back to free up space in backpack as a high capacity alternative, or will it be a separate container which won't interfere with current loadout?

My personal preference is that it should take up one large back slot, so having a bow and quiver would limit person to a secondary firearm, promoting focused "builds" per se.

If wearing one would create a separate inventory slot for arrows, could that mean it would tie in with the possibility of holsters being added, such as a leg holster for small firearms? (insert hoping for an arm holster for throwing knives)

We will see about that, atm its planned to be on the back and take up 1 holster. But we will see what works best. In any case thank you for the suggestion!

would love to see a hip or chest or shoulder holster for handguns added

It should not take up a holster slot, put quiver on your belt, the most useful place.
It is where arrows are generally carried and easy to get to, on the back is from old Robin Hood films and pretty much useless to get an arrow from.

I like this idea. Lots of folks in the real world use hip quivers (and quivers on the bow for a small number of arrows). Bows are not going to replace rifles, but as they can be more fun for those that like them, it would be good to have a hip quiver or bow mounted ones (or both) and still have the two back "holsters" for a spear or a rifle and our bow when not in our hands.

I agree that more options exist nowadays. More types of quivers could come in handy, a hip mounted one and a back holster one, which would hold differing amounts of arrows due to their size.

I'd carry the back mounted one just to feel like Robin Hood, but rping aside, I can fully understand the practicality of a quiver that doesn't get so much in the way. My guess is we will first see the back slot quiver, and the hip mounted will come at a later date when they introduce other types of holsters as well.

so maybe the base idea here is a belt system where you can hang certain things on you belt. Like a knife scabbard, a pistol holster, quiver, etc...

There are leg and (I think) chest holster test files in the game already.
