drag body/teammate mechanic | Forums

Due to how painfully slow the animation when picking up a body in the game, you guys should also add a quicker option to move bodies or teammates out of trouble like dragging them as seen in movies and also in the cutscene involving walker and nomad. my suggestion would be to make the dragging mechanic consume stamina just like sprinting so while much quicker than a carey? you could only drag a body for a limited distance.

I agree there should be another way to quickly carry downed teamates, but the problem is that the Medic class would lose one of its benefits.
Also, the same animation applies as well for killed enemies that you can carry around.
Finally, a quick dragging animation would prevent you from using any kind of weapon (while the current animation allows you to use your handgun).

I agree also. I actually think dragging bodies and injured team mates, would be much better than picking them up.

And why not allow team mates to fire their pistol when being dragged? You wouldn't be able to maintain accuracy, but it might be enough suppressive fire to force enemies to take cover until you get to safety.

Do you know how dumb we all are?
The animation is already in game, heck!

One of the first videos we see show Walker carrying our soldier with one hand and using his handgun cannon on the other; meanwhile, our Ghost is shooting with his rifle!
Why is that animation not in game!??!?

I know right? They must've just overlooked this feature but ince the idea is brought upon them pretty sure they'll be able to add this.
