FT using Predator Weapons

#1

The title sums it up, I think there could be more than one solution or way to achieve this, either as a class skill or perk, preferably both.

First I got to say I am not a fan of the FT Scout change and think it was to big of a nerf to that class, however if they could collect a Combistick, Smart Disc or Arrows as they’re secondary class skill it might balance out the class. Picking up a Predator weapon would force you to discard the weapon you’re carrying in that slot ie. Combistick takes your primary slot and a Smart Disc takes your secondary, (Arrows are just collected, however if you’re downed the Predator can collect them all.)

As a perk it would probably be more expensive than PiS or about the same cost as Yautja’s bane, maybe even 7 points.

If you do pick up Weapons they may not be usable in the same way for FT members as they are for Preds. They maybe melee only weapons.
Escaping with one of these weapons could add it to your weapon selection inventory, allowing you to start a match with it.

A Secondary perk could be added to eventually allow FT players to loot other weapons, you’d need both perks and to escape with said weapon to add it to you collection. Seeing as you can only carry weapons in particular slots, those slots may need to be adjusted for balance.

PS. It’s just Slasher, nice to meet you all.

whatever suits on scout better than revives.

i’d be fine with this change i’d even be fine with letting them throw the weapons themselves it lets them interact with pred in a unique way but run the risk the pred might pick up his weapon again if you miss if you hit it passes through the pred and does dmg where he would have to go behind him to pick it up unless you threw it on his feet i suppose

I’m inclined to agree that throwing the weapons makes sense if the cost is set at a high value.
