Better pig gameplay?

#1

Weird title, hear me out.

As FT, when I run by a pig, I can only go, “oh there’s a healing source for the Pred” and do nothing about it. AT BEST I can kill the pig which really only preps his meal and rings the dinner bell.

What if we could gut pigs as FT to nullify the heal source? This is war. Get some siege tactics going. The pred can destroy FT healing (not a complaint, an observation) why not both ways? Maybe spawn more pigs and make em interactable.

Just a stupid suggestion but I feel like there could be more going on with these silly pigs

I don’t play FT, but I heard that they don’t know anything about Pred. If that’s the case

…wouldn’t gutting a pig be a little strange?

FT: “Why is he gutting a pig…is it sexual?”

If the pred can damage medi packs dont seem why not ft should be able to destroy the preds meal! Very good point on balance.

Remove global mud up locations and only have small mud pools scattered around the map, filled with pigs.

PaperChamp saying what we’ve been thinking -all -this -time. just everyone being PC about it.

But here is the think…FT shouldn’t be concerned about it because in context - thats not the mission.
That is why there should be more animals out there that provide LITTLE stamina. Thereby removing the need for FT to rage kill animals for no contextual reason.

Oh snap.

I get this…but isn’t the commander guy who talks to you like “what is that?!” and acting all suprised?

Sounds like the Dutch thing nicks that up a bit.

From my understanding when the game is set they know about the predators and their hunts but are still trying to research and learn more about them, trying to collect their tech and a body when they can. Atleast if the OWLF recordings are anything to go off of

And we know a ton about human behavior :)

See, the problem with that is the pigs are the only way a pred can heal if they didn’t bring the med kit. The math has been done to death, but lets do it again anyway. Pred: max 3 healing, and whatever pigs you can find for a heal each. The fireteam can bring 3 syringes, 3 med kits (which have 3 heals) each, and then 3 can be reinforced to have their gear back again, and whatever 3 heal med kits are found in the map.

Pred: 3 heals + pigs.
a single FT: 3 syringes, 63 portable med kits heals + 3X(the amount of enemy med kits)

Now I’m tired of there somehow being an overabundance of pigs, or no pigs on the map. At least half my target isolation scans don’t show me any pigs. A balance thought would be there is only 1 pig in each of their spawn points, and you have to eat the pig and leave the area for a new one to spawn. OR have only 1 pig alive on the map, but infinite dead ones. Either no real stockpile, or a hard to make stockpile.

But my understanding is that Fireteam/voodoo have no knowledge of Predator. They aren’t OWLF

This is not personal experience but just what I’ve heard.

Definitely Dutch, generic owlf soldiers? less so, they have MUCH less experience actually fighting predators.

Remember FossilHunter13 ,
with the predator, it is SLICE SLICE- FT member down.
for the FT member, its the most powerful shotgun MAX LVL- BLAM- jump run jump runn…

Well, its more slice slice, syringe, slice slice slice, syringe, Slice slice slice slice, syringe, slice slice slice slice slice, down. And that’s without parries, just him constantly unloading into you with his LMG and only stopping to heal, and his three friends unloading with their miniguns and you don’t survive to the second syringe.

While its a shot from the shotgun every couple of jumps, a sniper shot nearly every jump, and that lmg as you are soaring through the air, and the hammerhead grenades waiting for your to land.

And its like, I know there was a pile of pigs right over the hill, but they are gone when I return. I have gotten used to just killing them when I see them, because the living ones do despawn.

OH! That’s another thing. Seeing a pig does not mean its a future meal, it will probably despawn when you leave the area. So don’t knife them in the first place and there will be no pig there for the pred to eat. No special gutting animation required.

If a pig dies the body gets cold and harder to find later, but I do not think I have ever seen one that was edible despawn.

That would be very frustrating because I pre-kill them a lot of the time.

Okay re-read. Yep living ones are slippery suckers, must be all the mud around.
