#Ability to pull out secondary when climbing ropes

When pushing snipers or players in high positions on top of buildings, climbing ropes fired by the grappling hook is required, but very often you'll be gunned down by whoever is on the rooftop before you can complete your climb over the edge and pull our your gun again. I'd like to see the ability to pull out your pistol while climbing in exchange for ascent/descent speed and without the ability to ADS, just hip-fire. Would give ascent up the sides of buildings much more viability as you aren't as likely to get shot before you can shoot back. The same thing can also go for heli drops too - often you'll be dropping into occupied areas, so having some ability to defend yourself a little as you descend would be nice

yeah I'd take a secondary, that would also have some funny moments if you manage to get onto an enemy rope

Thats a good point actually, I've made it onto enemy choppers before like that, but you can't really do much when you get there

#

actually able to hijack them lmao

same for climbing ladders as well.

How do you see yourself climbing a rope while aiming a pistol with 1 hand.

#

Pulling a pistol out should cause you to remain stationary on the rope until you holster it again.

My man has never heard of upper arm strength or using legs to climb

You could climb with 1 arm and both legs but it would be pretty slow

I could see a quick animation where the player loops the rope around his leg and pushes off the wall while his other hand draws and aims, but the player would be stationary. It would be awesome to be able to peek the top of the rope instead of only vaulting.

they literally train in 4, 3 and 2 point climbing.

Still

#

It would be pretty silly to climb at the same speed while also being able to shoot

silk latch
#

Not really.

#

especially if its a sidearm. Its not like the climbing is fast.

native swift
#

Im pretty sure that you would be climbing slower not only because you arent using both arms, but also cause you would also be potentially shooting at people while at it

#

any slowly would be fucking stupid.

#

and I can tell you really don't know how rope climbing works, at least when strong enough. use your fucking legs, you won't lose that much speed. as for slowing down while ADS that makes sense.

native swift
#

Thats assuming that the average soldier is indeed strong enough and has been doing that for a bit

#

Otherwise you would be slower

silk latch
#

You really wouldn't be in three point climbing. the legs do most of the lifting still. It might be slower if you need to stabalize.

#

in game you don't need to do that, and already move slower than a damn turtle on ropes.

native swift
#

Its still stupid to not slow down at least by a bit

silk latch
#

Not at the speed we are moving.

#

you want to move .01 meters second or something? I'd rather move the .5 we move now.

speaking of. it would be interesting for those rappeling down in transport heli to be able to use their primary but only in hip fire and with larger spread for continuous firing. but this option is only limited to most gun excluding LMG, DMR, Sniper & RPGs

#

comes with the risk of being out in the open on a flying object & being turned into red paste by your own pilot

Still will never understand how that never made it in. Definitely hasn't been requested here and there since the open beta at all.

In order to make it balanced, you can pull your gun, but you're unable to move up or down in the rope, so you have a choice, self defense or climbing up
