Hellhounds

I would like to know your opinion on a topic, what do you think Illfonic put Hellhounds in the game? Personally, I like the idea but I don’t think it’s a good one since they could give the predators too much advantage in case the Hellhounds can attack the fireteam, although if they only served to reveal their position, it doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.

I think regardless of the balance, coding that shit has gotta be impossible, especially for a small team like illfonic. I mean they could do it, but damn it would be an insane amount of work

I think its a good idea it can be another gear item and the hounds can be called 3 times. I think that would work out, but it would have to be the 2010 hounds those were better concepts at least i thought so

It’s a good idea to come with tracker or super super predator, but like, how would you control them? Would they just be like bots? Or would it be like smart disc, where you can call one and control it while the predator itself stands still, cloaked, like in smart disc piloting.

Interesting idea

But like, that would have to be as many points if not more as the medicomp

It would be a daunting task for them and AI have never been something they’ve been particularly good at. If they were to add them it’d be great and shows that they want to try new things instead of relying on melee however, it would be hell to use due to all the problems that are sure to come with it.

Mmmm that’s a good idea, but with a special kind of vision, like another kind of thermal vision and an auto target isolation (or something which imitates the smell of the hellhound)

Yeah, but that would be kind of useless because of the mask target isolation

They shouldn’t add the upgrade predator

They should

It would get them more money

And bring us more hilarious salty fireteams

No, I mean a constant target isolation

But then that would take up a lot of the screen. In the 2018 movie they were mainly attack hounds

And if ft were mudded, that would block their scent

It wasn’t received well at all most people probably wouldn’t bother buying it. If they’re gonna add any predators with the hounds just the tracker and focus on other predators

Serving as way of finding FT is not bad at all, but a light attack to distract them would also be ok. We need to give FT a counter play to this - lets say you can call the dogs in limitless amounts of time (with cool down brakes) but you have limited amount of dogs and FT can kill them.

Activate them and then use leap to mark the area of attack , it could work where any fireteam member in the area of attack can then be tracked for a certain period? It would be pointless to be able to command them from the other side of the map and they could be only made available through fully scanning a player? I dont know.

But I dont see enough resources going in to the game to do it in any shape or form and if they did? They would suck like the fireteam bots

Yea and they can be AIs that can deal damage and also show the FT location. It can work like the smart disc where you have (3) bit the FT has the ability to destroy the discs or in this case the ft location will be revealed as long as the hounds are alive but they can be killed by ft or you can release the hounds and once they find the ft you can leave em out to deal damage (risk of being killed by ft) or you can call them back.

Maybe its a possibility for the devs it would also add more canon based content, add a new gear item (which the predator definitely needs more of) and could also act to deter ft if say you get second winded and the ft is on your tail hunting you down.

@Kassinaillia what do you think about the idea?
