Thats why I was saying in my weapon balance post that the weapons need more utility.
Smart disc should be smart and not have to be controlled
war club should break parrys
elder sword should have better lock on, because I do agree about how easy it is to dodge,
handheld plasma caster should be really strong up close, more strong than the combistick even, but it should only be that way up close, that way it counters parrys too.
I love the bow. I dont use it much for downing because I really suck at aiming it right now, and I hate that I cant hold it fully charged, but its my go to weapon for killing downed players, because I certainly aint jumping in to delete them
The bow is fun! It’s one of the weapons I think was a great idea and feels actually, strangely viable? Now, it’s got probably the highest skill cap maybe just behind the smart disc. Both of these require you to do some pretty nuts stuff to get the full effect of them. Only thing is, maybe it’s just me, but does it need to do a tad more damage? I downed someone with the fully charged shot, then starred shooting the teammate reviving him, and he just sat there and tanked 2 shots while reviving. But maybe that’s intend to stop exactly what I just described lol.
Elder sword should apply a bleed damage, or cause the mangled status effect like in Dead by Daylight, where you heal slower from its wounds.
Yea but it feels different if your some solo guy joining fireteams and losing all the time all they see is pred jump in and wipe everyone in 3 seconds flat they didnt see it from predside to see how calculated it was to make it go like that
I like your idea about passives for each weapon.
I feel like Warclub should be high damage, low speed, but break melee
And i like that idea for the Plasma pistal. The whole colser does more damage idea is cool. Like a shotgun.,
Dead skin I feel you man, all you can do solo is try your best to ping the location and if you have a mic, use it.
EDIT:
But also consider… the game is about being hunted by the predator. For the fireteam it shouldnt be about winning. it should be about surviving.
Yeah when I use the bow to kill downed players, I dont charge it, I spam quick fire and drop baby shots till they die. way more effective. and most players will be so scared that they wont risk the revive while u do it
RIGHT?! i only ever wiped a full squad 1 time with the Berserker+Combistick build, and i was so vlose to drath…
I honestly didn’t think i was going to pull it off. I merked them all at the Chopper… lol
Its on youtude named “So close, yet so far away”…
Does anyone know the number of a quick shot to a full charged shot for damage I wonder?
For Bow or Plasma Caster?
Ive won too many times with berz/combistick combo, but ive won even more times with net gun and just slashing with wrist blades. Its so easy to lock down 3 if not all 4 players especially at the extraction and just murder them. However… once the netcode starts having a panic attack like it does when you are climbing trees sometimes, then the netgun becomes a liability because it wont hit shit
I personally dont play much fireteam but i wipe them like that sometimes and even think to myself yea they are crying op right now but those wins are when i engage surgeon mode with my plasma caster and manage to track them without them catchin on too much they dont see the stalk i put on them.
All they see is the jungle come alive and take them one by one.
Yeah, alot of players are literal bots. But once you go against a team that even remotely knows how to play shooter games and doesnt need to be babied, its like a gangbang.
For plasma caster, Im pretty sure its around 6 - charged, if not more
for bow I am certain its smaller, maybe 3-4 - charged.
Don’t quote me on that, I am only speaking from what little experience I have and really just guessing lol
For bow. I think plasma is fairly clearly a one shot at full charge
This is the nature of competitive pvp.
I want those guys to play this game, i want “those” skullz but the system is flawed its too skewed one way.
I think the the time penalty that was mentioned in another thread could very much change the nature of the hunt.(in a very positive way)
oh yeah, plasma is always a 1 shot fully charged. Bow requires one full charge, and one baby dink
“Like a gangbang” easily best comment on this forum.
Ok so full charge maybe around 100?
