Stealth Weapon

[Saint]

Can the stealth armor hold a knife and a pistol, or only one. Here is a quick poll for stealthers to see what weapon they want to use most.

This is also a good way to show off my new sig, BIG props to Airlift! He is God!

Stealths can hold a knife and a pistol, and there is no common pool knife. I think that the knife will be the stealths best friend, i dont imagine many people would survive a melee boosted secondary attack.

I cannot wait for my AP MAX. My 1st Implant will be Blacklight.

High powered beamer shot to your head f00!!

[Incompetent]

what was the response you were hoping to illicit, was it supposed to be funny that you did almost no damage or were we supposed to laugh at the smear on the ground where you used to be?????

NC pistol is nice give them a face full of shotgun

[Unknown]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the infil. suit can carry 2 pistols and a knife. I think REKs, Medical Applicators, etc. use pistol slots as well so I may end up only carrying a knife (as I was planning on carrying a REK and a Med Aplicator in an inf suit...)

[Incompetent]

Nope, just one pistol

[Unknown]

Really? Are you sure?

Oh and BTW, there is no "Common pool knife". Just 3 empire specific ones.

Both the Beamer and MAGScatter are fun little things. I'll be using the MAGKnife a lot as well.

I do suspect the Beamer will be the best of the three, however. No recoil and a beam. Even for NC guys like me I suspect they'll be in high demand.

Unknown,

Weapon slots are not the same as inventory. Inventory is stuff strapped to your belt or bandolier. Weapon slots are things in actual holsters, or slung over your shoulder. You can't holster a REK, and you can't attach a rifle to your belt. That said, IS's have a knife, and a slot for a pistol weapon.

[Lexington_Steele]

I thought you could holster a REK. I thought it fit into a pistol slot the same way the med applicator did.

[Unknown]

Gah, I'm confused.

Heres how I think it probably is:
The REK is indeed equipment and not a pistol that is holstered. However, the medical applicator does go in a pistol slot. And the nano-dispenser (the armor/equipment healing one) goes in a rifle slot. This would make sense as the med-app. and the nano-disp. both use a type of ammo, whereas the REK is unlimited use (AFAIK).

[Hamma]

REK is kind of like a weapon (when i played) you had to put it in your weapon slot to use it.

[Unknown]

So a REK takes up a pistol slot too? Wow, that's gonna put a cramper on people's plans. If you go infiltrator with a REK, and theres only 1 pistol slot, you wont be able to carry a pistol
