What's the plan for being able to remove your helmet and put it back on again without needing to go into inventory, store it in a backpack, or drop it? People have seen the ATC binding key and now there's blood in the water.
TL;DRThe team is currently working on letting players take off their helmet as an action and carry it or clip it to the suit, possibly with a key binding, so it stays handy with hands free.
Wow. That is actually something we're working on at the moment. So we've been playing around with this a little bit in game currently. So the idea is that you'll be able to remove your helmet as an actual action. So you can potentially either carry it under your arm, so it's tucked under your shoulder a little bit, or it will be attached to an actual clip or something on your suit that's basically a little item port. So like how we do with the weapons and stuff at the moment, which I think is currently located on the hip. We've been moving it around a little bit just to see where it best fits. But this just means that your helmet is still available, but you've still got your hands free to do everything that you want to do. So you can eat, drink, get into a fight in a bar or whatever, while you've still got your helmet handy. So again, that ties into what I just said, where you can quickly take your helmet off, put it on your belt or whatever, have something to eat and drink, quickly put it back on again without needing to go into the inventory and start moving things to and from your backpack or dropping it on the floor or anything awkward like that. And obviously, as well, actions to move this around. We're potentially going to try and find a key binding for it so it's nice and easy to use. And then if not, it will still be on the personal inner thought menu anyway. So it should be a nice and easy action to trigger.
