wierd holstered rifle position

Post » Sun Aug 21, 2011 9:33 am

So when I put my Lazer Rifle (or any other rifle for that matter) on my back, instead of being barrel down, its the opposite and pointing up and it looks really wierd...It happened once awhile ago but somhow it corrected itself but now its ben this way for quite awhile and its bugging me...Any ideas? Thanks

if I remember correctly Its Due to the armor your wearing, some Power Armors make the rifle type weapons flip, so the barrel points up toward your head.

The same thing happens with Desert Combat Armor. I'm not sure of any fix or work around.

That's just me, but back in military times I preferred to have my rifle barrel up when holding it on my back to keep it from hitting the ground when crouching and sitting and thus barrel not get dirty.

I think the reason for the Power Armor, and the Ranger Patrol Armor, having the gun reversed is intentional for the sake of realism, the shoulders of them being so stiff, you wouldnt be able reach over your shoulder to grab the rifle in time, but if reversed, you'd be able to get to it as quick as if it was in a 'normal' position.

I actually started using the unique plasma rifle (forgot the name) and it doesnt look bad like that, for some reason its just the lazer rifle that looks wierd like that...prolly because its shorter from the attached point on the back to the end of the barrel and longer from the point to the end of the butt unlike the plasma rifle that is longer from the middle to the barrel end.

Ayup. Barrel up, or you get 2 weeks of KP.
