Okay… well i will be honest with you… the net gun is in my mind the most useless piece of equipment for predator in THE GAME same goes with the bear traps but i personally see no point on doing this re-work for the bear traps… might do in future unless someone does it before me but yeah ill focus NET GUN in this one.
Okay lets get started shall we,
so we are all aware how net gun works from the movies… i will try to make the net gun based on the AVP 1 movie.
REASON FOR THAT IS: In AVP u get a trained soldier in the movie who cant do shit and gets pinned down while others try to help and they cant.
Okay so… if you haven’t already do re-watch this scene if u don’t remember how it went down…
In the scene we observe few key things:
-
A trained soldier gets pinned down easily
-
A trained soldier can’t do anything except remain the position he got pinned down and shoot his gun to alert his team
-
A trained soldier can’t get out of it at all on his own
-
A trained soldier is in pain
-
Others from his team come to help but they cant get him out
Okay moral of these key things is the fact that net gun is a part of predator alien tech that can’t be destroyed properly unless used a material that counters it right… which comes down later in the movie a xenomorph is able to get out if cause of their blood is acidic…
Now i want to talk about my vision of how the NET GUN should work in game.
-
Player should be totally pinned down and can’t break out of it
-
Player should have his health go down slowly each second the longer he spends in the net
-
Others should be able to break him out of the net but they take electrical shock damage when they try and cut it to get him out. (reason for electrical shocks is simple as in the movie we see him just dying as nobody is able to get him out of it, so i thought cause its the game they should get him out but they should be hurt as they try to help him kinda)
-
Net gun should be able to pin a player on a branch if configured that way so the player hands from it
