Option to remove BIOMASK in hunt

#1

I think it would be really cool if you could trigger a short animation, maybe 2-3 seconds where the predator removes their mask and drops it for the rest of the hunt. Could be tied to a dual button press, e.g L3 +R3 press and hold for a couple seconds to trigger it.

I think it would be very cool and thematic letting you have this option as often when one person is left alive I wish I could do this, also sometimes it would be interesting to just drop the mask and try to hunt without thermals.

You could even go a step further and make the predators dropped mask become a bonus objective icon for the fireteam, if retrieved awards Xp and Veritainium, but the predator could also use this to potentially set a trap

Thanks for reading my ideas

Removing mask would be great for final showdowns.

As long as Predator has damage immunity for the duration of taking off the mask…you know that last FT will light you up otherwise. Hopefully they would see this animation and accept a knife off.

Maybe make it a cutscene or immediately cancelable?

As long as eating boar is immediately cancellable before that happens

Apart from the difficulty in eating with a mask on, this also always confused me.

Predator has mandibles. So I think technically they could just hand the food item off to those and then move around and use their hands freely while the mandibles hold and push the food into their mouths for processing.

That’s one of the most well thought out and succinct posts Ive read on here.

Totally agree!

I’d thought about this, would probably be a good idea to have a cancel but having damage reduction could be abused if it also had a cancel. Might be best to just make it a quick animation, but triggered by pressing the buttons for several seconds and can be cancelled at the last second still by pressing Circle before the mask is fully off

Damage immunity maybe would not work as FT could just line up a head shot and wait for the animation to end.

Yes! Pretty much exactly this.

#13

Yeah but the point of it is to be exposed, if you’re doing it in full view of a full fireteam then it’s to be expected you’ll get lit up, it would either be used at a safe enough range for a more challenging hunt without thermals or for some fun thematics with only a few alive

Yes this would be cool. Also if they shoot the mask off during the match, they should get extra v and xp or something if they retrieve it. Maybe it gives them a buffs or perks.

I agree with this, this is awesome. Can we like, get this popular? I would love to have more options to limit myself during a hunt. The Predator will always strive to make things fair. Removing the mask when there’s one member alive would be amazing.

I completely agree with this idea - mimic the final showdown of Dutch and Jungle Hunter. It might need additional components since in a 1v1 situation, the Predator will more than likely win without much of a fight. Maybe limit the Predator from healing or have some sort of ‘mini-game’ aspect where the playing field is leveled a bit…or just have the Predator HAM the FT member :)
