PRedator Weapon Destroyed

#1

Hi there,
I noticed that they made the Predator’s motion detector (i don’t even know what that thing does,–it emitts a noise?) can be destroyed while its on the ground. Not the same for the Predator’s audio decoy (i still don’t know what this does other than make That ripple bubble ).
The Smartdisk I know can be shot and destroyed.
The Combi stick however cannot.
I feel that any weapon the Predator leaves should be allowed to be destroyed simply because there is no reason for it to remain indestructable.
the same goes for the Plasma Caster-- shoulder cannon or even in the handheld cannon of the predator should at least be able to be damaged somewhat - to be less effective.

Blades however i feel don’t need to.

To me this isn’t a balancing aspect, just an ownage thing.

Destroying left behind weapons should be simple to be destroyed. They did it for one, why not the other?

Motion detector shows you where FT members are if they enter its sphere of influence. Audio decoys will play random audio lines either Predator or FT in order to distract or disorient FT from your position. I think the amount of Predator gear that can be destroyed is enough. Predators disc, trackers, and mask can be destroyed and I think this is enough. Destroying the Plasma Cannon is a bit pointless as once the Predator has lost his mask it makes aiming the Plasma Cannon near impossible as itl just fire in random directions and not where the player is looking.

The developers made sure the game got released with enough Predator gameplay mechanics that can be broken, or get broken at any point in the game. Not sure if you want to add more realism than reality breaking the fourth wall while playing.

I was curious about when his mask comes off. Any thing else happens asides from PLasma Cannon going bonkers? Like thermal?
Anyone have a video?

#6

Thats not what I meant (about the forth wall)…but if it is not enough for destructable weapons then please sound off on it.

#7

You lose Thermal and laser aiming, still have ability to go invisible

Let’s say it like this. If the predator weapons can be destroyed, so can the Fireteam’s weapons. Is that really what you want?

Predator weapons can be destroyed. That is the point. But no i don’t want Fireteam weapons to be destroyed… they never actually lose their weapons.

FT doesn’t toss their automatic weapons at you and runs for the lives.

I mean a predator can toss a spear or shuryken and just never get it back if he/she never looks for it.

#11

That’s pretty ridiculous

#12

If you could plasma blast a gun rendering it useless that would be hilarious lol.

id propose the inverse. i dont think any predator weapons should be destroyed. they will destroy the traps they will destroy the sensors, the disc, the stick, the cannon… a bit drastic. predator wont have any tools by the end of the match. he’ll have nothing left but his claws to be parried… realistically? This game is hardly realistic in any sense, no use in starting now over a predator nerf. balance over realism any day in a game like this.

Exactly, tit for tat. It would be fun if it was a separate (hardcore) gamemode, but honestly…? You can’t have one without the other. Since the entire “realism” argument was made. I fear the OP doesn’t have enough hours into this game to figure out why his/her idea won’t work this way.

#16

again, realistically apart from gear, Pred weaponry and armor is near impervious to bullet fire lol

Nevermind…All i wanted was someone to sound off on the Combistick being destructable.
Seems like people are going AWOL tangent about FT weapons.

#18

the disc shouldnt be destructable. it is such a jank thing to use and gets stuck everywhere because you cant control its return path letting them destroy it is just trolling. you have to manually drive it back to you so it doesnt get blocked on its way back its effectively limiting its flight time by half.
