Have you guys ever played Battlefield? It was always so rewarding getting a dog tag with the player’s name on it from a knife kill, especially the counter knife. I always made it a point to actually try and get tags of players I didn’t like. (oh, you’re going to camp in the same spot sniping the entire match? yoink. Wait, I just knifed you while you were camping and you went back?!? double yoink)
With no stat tracking in the game, I think it would be cool to have these collectibles added. Imagine opening your collection screen & (eventually) seeing over a hundred skulls/wrist computers (or masks, masks would be better).
Every time the Predator makes a long claim, they have the option to “boil” the skull. Make it an in match mechanic that’s a 10-15 sec animation that you can’t cancel. Then add a mechanic that if a player has their skull boiled, they can’t come back with the reinforcements. Even if the Predator loses the match, hey, at least you got a trophy. (FT member, you’re trying for a 1v1 knife fight while your team is on the other side of the map? yoink)
When the FT disarms a Self Destruct, they get the Wrist Computer (although the Mask as a trophy would be cooler, especially if it mimics the design of that pred player. Definitely want the mask). Only the player that successfully disarms gets the trophy, not the entire team.
It could also change the way some people play the game.
- Predator
- Target the FT member who separated
- Long Claim
- Find a spot to hide to boil the skull
- Improve your chance of winning by negating the reinforcement
- Fire Team
- When the Predator is downed, don’t run away
- Run towards the predator
- Git Gud at the disarm sequence (I was terrible at first, but am def improving)
- This potentially adds more FT kills for the Predator for self destruct.
Please Illfonic, I want my Predator Mask collection.
