Plasma Caster Alternate charge mode

#1

It would be nice to see an alternative plasma caster charge introduced. Currently, we can only charge by aiming first. This displays the helmet targeting lasers which gives away the position of the predator. This also leads to players aiming at a wall and then side stepping to then expose the laser before releasing the charge.

Why not use the fire button without aiming. This could only be used to prematurely charge the PC so that the PC could not be spam fired. This premature charge would allow the Predator to remain stationary and then at the opportune moment aiming can be introduced for a perfect shot on an unexpected fire team member.

Thoughts?

Interesting idea to get around the weakness of the red line. Your idea give me a different idea regarding the plasma caster: release to fire. That way using the caster is just one button push.

To be fair, with combistick now taking upwards of 10 hits to down players you can drop fearless and pick up dithered lens if you had a melee build. Makes the red line hard to see.

I don’t rock fearless anymore. I use the bow and lightbender, long range and faster energy recharge. IMO this is the best load out for my play style and truer to the predator. I only wish I could incorporate the PC while remaining motionless and not giving my position away until I fire.
