Reinforcements are overdue a rework.

#1

I’ve just watched CYSZ Gamings video where he challenged himself to get 4 Stealth Kills with the Elder Sword. He did it, but at the same time he showed the frustration experienced by nearly every Predator player when it comes to Reinforcements.

After going through all that hard work and effort, expending resources like healing kits etc the Ft managed to reinforce to full strength, fresh ammo, medkits and syrettes (and they were packing medkits like it was Black Friday).

As a FT main, I feel it’s cheap. Predator mains have no way to restock bear traps (they can’t even pick them up to reuse them), healing kits or nets. Why not? When the FT reinforces, the Predator should also get resupplied. Give them an option, to engage FT at the radio or get to a specific location within a restricted time frame for full restock.

Also, FTs should reinforce with only 50% of the normal levels of ammo and equipment that they do when the initially start the match.

I really felt for the guy, all that work and skill rewarded with a huge "Fuck you, we are back!"🙄😒

You know, I never allow FT to reinforce (when I have control over that aspect of course) and get TONS of abuse later on in the lobby because of it.

My question is - why? Reinforcements mechanic is basically a second chance for FT, right? So is second wind for Predator. Have you ever heard of, or witnessed an FT member passing on killing a Predator who he found healing from second wind? So why the fuck any Predator should allow reinforcments?
Sorry, bit off topic, but you get my point

No apologies, you’re absolutely right and I’m sure the number of FTs who won’t chase down and kill a Predator in Second Wind are bare minimum. So killing a FT before they reinforce is the same, never thought of it like that before but it actually makes better sense when looked at that way 👍🏼

You know, when I actually manage, from time to time, scream over FT in lobby when they are giveing me all the abuse and ask them this question - all the time they just shut up and leave XDDDD

The interesting part of this game is there’s no way to contest the reinforcements zone even if you’re there with the person if he already called as long as he doesn’t get killed quick everyone still comes back not the same with predator second wind its not like once you stab yourself in the knee no matter what your healed and they cant do nothing about it lol. Reinforcements and second wind are two totally different things and second wind doesn’t give you the option to fight at all lol

Lol they give you health with the draining time bar you should be able to make that choice to continue to fight or down someone or claim and leave. You shouldn’t have to only be able to run. You have to heal eventually because of time but let me fight back and potentially get more downs or kills or die trying or run lol

Ah, speaking of the King…here he is himself😏

Absolutely right. Dude, I could feel the defeat in your voice when they reinforced. Up until that moment you were so excited, enjoying the game, it’s was really hard work too and you achieved the challenge with the final guy at the radio. But they reappeared just as his body dropped, and even I felt crushed seeing it.

It’s a great video, and not only did you complete the challenge you still win👌🏼💯

Also being able to be downed 4 times is their 4 second chances plus they got reinforcements 😭

It doesn’t even let you kill a pig while running, which makes no sense either🙄

They had medkits, syrettes and there was a bloody supply crate next to them as well. Talk about luck…

Yeah but it sucks that’s 12 downs total and I had to waste all their equipment for them to come back all healthy and newly geared and they respawned I believe during a stealth kill i did by the reinforcements box 🤣

Yeah, that’s the one. You literally just stealth killed the 4th guy and then they all reappeared…not cool at all.

Yeah that’s bs. I’m in favor of keeping the mechanic but it needs to be changed.

Pred should be able to stealth kill straight away but not like the AI. If you are cloaked and undetected behind a FT for 3 secs you get the stealth kill prompt.

On the topic of reinforcements though, covert ops dont get them. I like the idea of if your initial character dies you respawn as one of the AI until they’re all dead. Might help with FT ragers by keep giving them attempts to kill pred.
