The colors on the weapon door toggle lights are too similar. I'm not colorblind, but even so, it's very difficult to tell if the light is yellow or green on brighter maps like Frozen City. I imagine for people who are colorblind, it's entirely useless.

Fix it so that it has 2 lights when open and just 1 when closed. Or get rid of the green/yellow/red states, and just make it swap between green/red.

Yellowish Green = Open

Greenish Yellow = Closed.


Which is to say yes.

Took me forever to find the damned things, and they're impossible to see in night vision. :) I was hoping for something on the HUD. I had no idea what is was back in the day. :)()

And I believe red = destroyed, though I don't pay much attention to the lights when I'm losing limbs.

Please enlighten me as to their damned location. In Stalker and Catapult. Thanks.

I rolled in my Cent-A today to test the lights, was pressing bay doors button but haven't find any light indicators. Overlooked my cockpit but still nothing.

Did they really bring them back in?

In my cent it's left side, kind of along the vertical piece of metal towards the bottom.

Oh yeah, I saw that light but it was always green, with open doors or closed. How am I supposed to figure if the doors are closed or not?!

It's not always green. It is just really hard to tell if it's even changed colors at all. That's the problem.

That's why this thread isn't a suggestion. This light is broken, and this thread belongs in patch feedback or new/old issues.

Can we just get rid of the weapon door system all together? It's stupid, non-intuitive, un-fun, and adds nothing to the game. Not to mention goddam confusing and hard to see.

As has been said before, there needs to be an indicator on the HUD it'self.
