New Gadgets (examples)

#1

I want to share my ideas about new gadgets that should be included in P:HG.

Smart Disc (variants)

  1. A smart disc that u cant control but does high damage(100?). Its a straight line in front of you if u throw
    it.
  2. A smart disc like the first one but it returns to the hunter. (15m) (a bit less damage than the first one)
  3. A smart disc with “auto-lock”. You can mark (like spotting) enemys with the smart disc and if u throw it it will automatically follow the target with good precision (low damage).
    (There will be also the normal Disc as in the game)

Net-gun (variants)

  1. Double net gun: you can auto-lock (like the 3. Smart disc) 2 targets with it and then you can shoot 2 nets at the same time to the 2 enemy with medium precision
  2. Tripple net gun: you can auto-lock 3 targets and then you can fire 3 nets at one time to 3 enemys (low precision) You can also lock one target with 2 or 3 nets, because then you have better precision.

Proximity mines
Proximity mines are a trap like gear.
Mines have the same radius as traps.
If an enemy goes into the blast radius, everyone in the radius get 100 damage.
The proximity mines can be destroyed by FT.
The mines can also be triggerd by AI.
The FT can destroy the mine if they use they gear. Every grenade type will trigger the mine. you can also throw an ammunation pack into it and the mine will explode.
You can carry 3 Proximity mines.

Laser Traps
Must be mounted on for example: Doorframes, corners, walls
The laser has a maximum range at 2,5m (From one wall to the other wall)
The laser will be visible like “the plasma aim laser”
AI can also trigger the trap.
The explosion will only damage the one who goes through the laser.
The laser inflict high damage. (One trap can kill a scout)
You can carry 5 laser traps

Shuriken
You throw a shuriken like a disc but you cant control it.
It deals I damage but cant one hit a scout. (maybe one hit scout? Idk)
The Shuriken can slash through the targets, so it can hit multiple targets.
You can change how the shuriken should fly. (Straight, a curve)
If you hold right mouse button (Idk what the aim button on the controller is ^^) you can see a red line, where the shuriken will fly. You can change the flight route with your mouse by looking around.
You have 3 shuriken and after u throw it you can pic them up like the smart disc.

What do you think about the gadgets? Please give me feedback thank you :)

I don’t think we need another Smart Disc at the moment. The one in the game currently is fine, and I feel like if we WERE to get the Shuriken, then the Smart Disc with no track but high damage would just be redundant.

Now for the Shuriken, this is a definite yes, and I would like this to be a new gear item, and it makes sense since Bear Traps are the only gear item to do damage. I would like it to be 3x Shurikens that are RETRIEVABLE but also can be DESTROYED just like the Smart Disc and have the same durability as well.

Net guns are fine where they are and are already good as is. If there was a auto-locking trapping multiple target net gun, I would end my Pred games in 3 minutes tops… I don’t even want to face against that if I was FT. There is NO skill involved, it’s literally a point and shoot, and boom 1-2 free kills.

Now I notice for your trap ideas that you favor HIGH damage like with the laser traps ONE-SHOTTING a Scout ?! Also having 5 !!! EVERYBODY would run this with Large Pouch !!
I suggest both the laser trap idea and the proximity mine idea but here is my take on the quantity and damage value. For the Proximity Mines,you have a total of 5 that are small but visible that deal around 75 damage in a 7 meter blast radius. Grenades can do damage at this range just as well, so it makes sense for mines to do the same. For the Laser Traps, you have a total of 3 that are SEMI-INVISIBLE with a dithered lens laser that does 100 damage but NOT 125 damage to be able to down a Scout. That’s too much tbh.

Another gear item I would like to see is the Tracking Syringe that “Wolf” used in AVPR.
If you see a pile of blood left by a FT member, you can bend down and take the syringe to take the DNA and insert it into the wrist gauntlet (7 second animation time) to track down THAT SPECIFIC FT member. It will show his/her footsteps even if mudded, BUT it CANNOT obviously be tracked through water.
This was used to track down a facehugger, but I can’t see why it couldn’t track a human.

What do you think in general about these items? Do you think it would be cool to see these ingame? Would you use mines? Or shuriken etc?

As someone who plays scout, I’m not a fan of more one shots. Adding things to the game is great but not at the expense of the weaker classes, lets not make it so you have to run the meta.

The gear itself would be nice, I’m a fan of more stuff.

Whip_ tangles target like netgun. Predator can pull them in and attack with wrist blades. Whip also can melee attack but takes you out of stealth.
Spear gun. Straight line projectory… 50 dmg per shot. 80 dmg hs.
Electric netgun perk… adds double dmg to netgun
Photon cannon perk. Charged plasma cannon takes 50 percent less to charge.
Overpower. Cannot be parried as predator. 6 gear slots
Javelin perk. Combi stick travels faster and further less drop off.
Frisby perk. Disc can be piloted longer
Berserker rage perk. Dual xeno wrist blades
Cowboy. Duel plasma pistols but no shoulder canon
Ninja cloak is 50 percent more transparent and standing still for 1.5 sec is invisible

These Perks would be pretty cool too

#9

The smart disc idea I really like for the fact if I’m on the run I would really use it lmao but that would prolly be how the gear shurikan would work

#10

Yes please!! I have over 100,000 veritanium and nothing I want to buy. New weapons, gear and perks should be able to be bought with veritanium.

What about a “shot gun”?
The Predator has a few shells that can’t be recharged like the plasma pistol but despite very short range it hits hard. The drawback is the kick which stuns the Predator for a moment so if the Predator misses he’s not only out a shell but is open to attack preventing him just firing away and leaving. Kind of like an ambush weapon. Sends NPC’s flying and maybe on fire which could be a detriment to thermal. So say you miss you could affect what you see on thermal.

An engineers gun (space jockey from alien/prometheus) would be so sick!

@Idunno56 yea Ahab is sick. At least give us the option to add scars/battle damage to our existing Preds
@ADIsnap good question… Maybe it’s just on the map (a new one hopefully) and either party can get it just depends who finds it first. Or even better! Engineers wield it! And it’s a lone engineer hunting 4 Predators?!

Or maybe in with xenomorphs:) God damn this would be so cool.
But at first they need to fix bugs and add some necessary content like maps.

#17

Do you want the engineers gun for the predator or for the marines?

#18

That would be sick!

#19

If u would use this alien gun against the pred… haha

#20

if i remember right the shuriken has been datamined but i’m pretty sure it’s just going to a skin for the disc
but most of your other idea are super unbalanced
