Bomb hack assist perk?

#1

Thinking there should be a perk that allows the mini game of diffusing the bomb, to have fewer symbols? Even if its the first 1 or 2 symbols done?

This can allow when the bomb is set off early, to have a chance at running in and having epic diffuses.

Also… I’m sick and tired of being one of the only people the team relies on to actually beat the bomb while they all run away. Trust me, I’ve tried teaching people how to do it, and they still run!

I can probably count on my hand how many people actually do the bomb after they kill the pred.

Just spitballing and wanting the player base to get better :)

I don’t think this would make the player base better at all, I think having to actually go in and diffuse would make you better especially since people can already diffuse it in a few seconds.

Oh yes, the FT definitely need more aids and assists… FFS.

They need the help though since predators are OP as it as is like come on they’re still alive and haven’t surrendered the second the FT drops.

Surprised someone hasn’t just plain asked for an air support option which calls in an F-22 to bomb the Pred away.

It would give people a TON more confidence instead of thinking they NEVER will do it.

I have seen more people run after killing the pred POINT BLANK than try the bomb and die.

Everyone is afraid of losing and thats what is seriously ruining the game.

I enjoy playing both as pred and ft, just throwing this out there so people don’t think I’m just trying to favor the FT.

I can still slay ft squads since last patch. This was a very skill based patch they pushed.

We let the pred explode, we don’t want to kill AI and waste time.

#11

Thats technically an L for FT though says the game.

To each their own i guess.

There’s no benefit to defusing, the Xp was never enough to encourage me anyway.

And no offence to the win conditions but if I’m alive and the other guys dead, that doesn’t feel like a loss. If Zeus wants to wheel his ass out to the jungle and defuse the bomb, he can do it himself… I don’t get payed enough for alien crap.

PS. I think it could be a cool class skill for a demo expert…

Wonder if Recon’s spot slows the timer?

#13

That’s pretty stupid, how is a win for the pred if he’s dead lol 😆 but whatever it doesn’t matter. Killing a bunch of AI to protect a dead body is not fun.

#14

There is only a short period window where it is likely to beat the puzzle, fail to start it within this time and its a no-win situation.

#15

I feel like this would be a specialization for the OWLF class. It would make sense because the OWLF has encountered the preds before and would make sense to have some knowledge of their technology

What’s that shit that certain people love to toss around here at the slightest bit of criticism… git gud? If people are that scared to attempt to defuse the bomb then that’s on them, they can nut up or keep running with their tails tucked between their legs. The fact that they’ve already killed the predator is a win for the FT. I’ve seen more FT quit the second they get downed more than I see them running from the bomb.
The only time defusing the bomb is a problem is when the pred runs away to area that the FT cannot access to kill themselves. If you fucked up the defuse or hot there too slow then lesson learned for the next time.

I rather get killed by the blast than diffuse it. If a pred wants to claim victory after we already killed him because the bomb exploded, that’s fine, it’s not gonna hurt my ego. There is nothing fun about killing a ton of AI armored units after the pred is dead, specially when you’re level 150 and have more than 1 million Veritanium.

Personally idc whether or not it’s been diffused or not since I’m already max and idc for VT unless I’m completely empty. Main reason why I do it is so that I can run to the area where the cutscene starts so that I can toss a bunch of smoke grenades and audio decoys.

Dutch didn’t diffuse no bomb, he ran to safety. So, does than mean the pred won in the movie? Lol…nope! 😎

I mean did you see his face on the chopper afterwards, he won the fight but was mentally dead.
