Could we get a Crossbow for Predator and/or FT

Also could you rescale the model for the combi it’s to big for Predator

@Noktrum

As in the title – they are too large in compare to the hunters. Lets start with City Hunter combistick – please take a moment and look at this still of Gort approaching Harrigan. He is obviously supporting himself on his weapon, notice the red markings I’ve made:

Now look where this exact spot lands in game with the same weapon in the same position:

Why is the combistick so freaking large?! If Illfonic wants to be movie accurate, it needs to be rescaled to this:

Same weapon next to scout (Scout modified by me) – comparison between both scales

Now –Netgun. Form day one I kind of thought its to large, but when CH landed with his weapon holster system I new that this weapon is twice its original size. Please see this still from Stan Winston, note the size of netgun:

Now in game model of the same weapon, on the same Yautja in the same holster position:

Again – unnecessarily to large. It should look like this:

Also please look at what this weapon would look like on a Scout with current scale:

After rescaling (again, scout modified by me, please ignore):

@OldKingHamlet @Courier - As you can see for yourselfs, movie weapons are unnecessarily scaled up. Do you guys think this can be addressed in the near future? It would really improve the general look of your hunters, and would stop me from bitching about it ;-)

Predator don’t need no stinkin crossbow when he can have the GAUSS CANNON

Speargun and wrist discs > crossbow

FT need a crossbow though

[Robo_2696]

Hey speaking of witch him(edited my post from above). I also what him/his mask in the game, but his canon might become a skin variant of the HHPC

[BadBlood]

There is a similar mask in the files

This cannon is far too powerful to be a reskin of the hhpc imo

[Robo_2696]

Yeah I can’t wait to get my hands in that mask

If givin the chance Illfonic will turn it into a reskin, regardless of powerful it is in canon

[Eshtion]

Yes to the crossbow.

No to the combi.

It’s not the movie combi, it’s a new combi with a City hunter combi skin. So there’s nothing to be movie accurate too.

Same for the net gun.

As well as the fact that you’d be nerfing the range on the combi.

[RedBaronBob]

I’d be for fireteam or Predator to get a crossbow but I’d prefer the speargun. That all being said if the weapons can be distinct I’d be cool with both.

Personally I’d love to get that gun the lost Hunter had. Thing looks powerful and loud.

[Robo_2696]

Just because the in game model changes size doesn’t mean you have to change the hitbox as well.
I personally don’t have to many problem with the length of the combi when fully extended, but I do have a problem with the unextended version. It’s just to THICK for my taste

[Robo_2696]

Well the spear gun would have a faster rate of fire

[BadBlood]

@Robo_2696

just to THICK for my taste

That’s what She/He never said

[Robo_2696]

It’s supposed to be like an Olympic javelin it’s got to be thin and aerodynamic

[BadBlood]

That was a sex joke that clearly went over your head 😂

[Eshtion]

@Robo_2696

Just because the in game model changes size doesn’t mean you have to change the hitbox as well.

Ya but then you have differences between the hitbox and weapon model which is never good.

[Robo_2696]

Oh I know what it was

[Robo_2696]

@Eshtion

Ya but then you have differences between the hitbox and weapon model which is never good.

Tell that to the smart disc

[Eshtion]

Doesn’t melee with that thing suck?

[NomadClan]

You know this could actually work very well with my Rope Dart Idea, with different ammunition for the Arrow Bolts?

Predator Rope Dart / Harpoon Gear Idea

This idea was mainly inspired by the Predator 2018 film on how the Upgraded Predator seemed to have used a rope dart of some kind not only to to lift people into trees but to decapitate them with its sharp wire. However I though of its usage in a different way, being it a gear option for the gauntlet of the predator to shoot a harpoon into the fireteam and have to drag them away to the Predator. This will give the Predator one and one time for that unlucky soul who was dragged away from the squa…

[BadBlood]

It does more damage than wrist blades but you have to be right on top of them

[Robo_2696]

Melee with most weapons suck, but all for different reasons

[Eshtion]

Disc specifically compared to others
