I know no one from illfonic is going to read this since they clearly don’t have admins or employees (evident by the bugs that have been here since beta, and the fact that I STILL CAN’T EQUIP MY REBREATHER THAT I SPENT $20 ON)–but by some miracle they have an intern that sees this, for the love of god, PLEASE NERF the Plasma canon. That thing does a disrespectful amount of damage, literally taking me from full health to either insta-downed or 50% or less with a non fully-charged blast regardless of my HP. I wouldn’t even mind it if it wasn’t for the absurd amount of splash damage radius it has. I’ve taken cover in buildings and the blast would down every in the building because the plasma canon would bug out (It’s a trend, right? Try complaining about this game without mentioning the word ‘glitch’ or ‘bug’) and do full-covering blast radius that would hit us no matter where we stood.
What makes it worse are all these annoying missions FT has to do that requires them to stand perfectly still out in the open to twist a a valve or some crap, ripe for the picking for a good ole plasma blast, and like 99% of the predators I go against are just tree-hopping monkies that spend most of the map blasting us with the cannon (makes things no better when you get nothing but bumbling fools for teammates that continue to walk in straight paths and never learned the meaning of ‘serpentine’) It’s bad enough that there’s enough perks, weapons, and equipment for a predator to just jump right down and off a FT player in just two melee strikes (Ghost + Katana + Fearless does this, for one), so them having a built-in killswitch through plasma caster just seems like a troll tool, just playing with their food. I personally near-never use the plasma caster because honestly, it seems like a sheer like of skill and more-so just desperation to use it; I can melee down a whole team (deadsquad or not), so I’ve come to the point of seeing plasma spamming as a pretty degenerate thing to do since its on par with spamming Sheeva’s sky jump attack in MK 11, it’s always going to hit and it’s always going to do a ton of damage.
Also, while I’m on this topic of the many problems this game has, the Airstrip map has this mission where it starts off with you have to search around a bunch of corpses, but there’s a bug on the final phase of the mission after you blow up the gas tanks and kill the ‘boss’, where there’s no exfil location. If there’s either no predator or a cowardly predator that’s just hiding the entire match for no apparent reason, your only way out is to just sit there until the timer runs down and you ‘lose’.
