Net Gun/Launcher gear idea

[KameofWar]

For me it’s the easiest fix of all time to give the predator a single extra key here let me show you

@KameofWar

please make Target isolation bindable with other keys/on the same keys that are hold keys such as
Leap interact mimicry wheel weapon wheel etc…

mostly because target iso never usually gets used too many times in one game and already requires vision for it to activate anyway so it shouldn’t conflict with other keys in a unreasonable fashion like with interact+jump

[Bobby_Bill]

I think target isolation should be hold thermal, you’d get a little bar that fills up like if you’re claiming Fireteam or healing. Once it’s done you you target isolate, and it automatically puts you in thermal

But again any changes to Predator key binding also changes Fireteam’s key binding.

Here are some examples

• You hot key weapon 1 to left on d-pad. Now you cat swap gear as Fireteam or decline Predator in clash
• Put something on anything R3. Now you have to manually put melee back on it for Fireteam

It’s stupid that Fireteam and Predator key binding is interconnected like this

[Bobby_Bill]

I also think branch switch and stealth dismount should be allowed on the same button

I also have this problem every time

Buff FT nerf pred

[Robo_2696]

Buff Pred add Xenos

Mind. Blown.

I think the net gun that we have now should’ve been a gear item instead of a weapon. Also, fireteam players should not be able to knife each other free from a net.

[Finessology]

^
Netgun shouldve always been a gear and actually rewarded people for landing pins as is

[Robo_2696]

Yeah, net as a weapon is one of the reasons I don’t take it on hunts.

Also the only reason why FT can break free is for balancing purposes

[Mith]

I never take the net gun, there’s better alternatives.

I don’t have an issue with fireteam players being able to break free from the nets but their teammates shouldn’t be able to free them.

[Robo_2696]

I’ve almost never been freed from the net by my teammates.

It’s hard to coordinate and help get your teammates freed from nets because they’re always frantically running around

[Mith]

I would say the net gun is useful against noobs because they don’t know how to free each other from nets. It’s completely useless against experienced players because they can just knife each other free.

@KameofWar

i just want to say a very EASY solution to fixing melee is as follows

Net gun is now a 5 cost gear item

Predator now has a dedicated button to use gear like FT does no longer requiring them to equip them first

so now a predator with the sickle equipped could click another button and

“throw a bear trap”
“Fire the netgun”
“Fire wrist rocket”
or use whatever other gear gets added in the future

he can pressure at medium/short distances still be a melee threat or use crowd control or whatever other active equipment the devs create
you could in theory if enough different/good gear gets added no longer need to equip any ranged weapons and rely solely on gear and melee
medkits would still require you to equip and use however

the easiest way to allow this keybind to happen is Target Iso should be a hold button action

there done now there is one free button available to the predator

and melee is CONSIDERABLY more viable than it was before and all we needed was to speed up the predators actions by have more options available to him at any given time like FT has without adding any new equipment or changing any numbers aside from netgun being a gear item

just a way to do this this came from this thread and i don’t want it to rot outside of feedback

[RedBaronBob]

I’d love the AvP style net but I’m almost positive it’ll be like city Hunter where Celtic’s net gun will be used when Scar is using the net gun.

[Slade_Viscus]

Oh man I hope cuz right now I am just a tactician main and I need more variety of traps lol

[Robo_2696]

We need gameplay variety in general
