Second FT escape condition

#1

My suggestion is to Add Another one “Escape condition” for last survived FT member.

All of us were in situations where you the last survivor (reinforcments is used already). You are trying to hide from pred, you going even good BUT there is only 2 options left: Kill pred (Low chance) and Call chopper and escape.
In second case you will be spotted immediately and killed because pred will find you with full hp and army of AI.

As some of us saw in DbD last survivor can use not only Escape gates but Black locks. If lock was closed by killer - there is only gates left.

My suggestion is: If you are the Last survivor and Reinforcement is gone = game timer is extended for more 2 minutes and Extra Mission appears. After completing this mission - you successfully escaped.

This will remove the feeling of hopelessness for FT and give to him:

  1. choice (fight pred, chopper and fight pred, try to complete the mission end try to escape);
  2. hope.

For Pred this will give:

  1. More preasure in endgame;
  2. Remove early feeling of victory;
  3. Will increase value of tracking perks (like Footprints, Voice bubbles and Target isolation (it can be even removed in this stage)).

What do you think about that?

thats a big add, what kind of mission? Is there a big payoff? Sounds like it should like making the battle against predator last a little longer but somehow it needs to shield you in some way so that you can take care of the last mission that you mentioned. and the mission should be something that fairly common but not a directive. Like maybe there is a crate that drops with some kind of special device like a trap of some sort which you have to nail three trees with on its branchs. Then when pred comes close by, it lands a net on him. kind of like the finale of the film.sort of.

But it still doesnt prevent predators from getting the drop on you. Trust me, the moment his Target Isolation resets, he will find you in areound 40 seconds.

But you can mud up

Unless you found a way underneath the map, then he can still either see you visually if hes keen on it since he is coming off from scoring three members of your squad (unless you went rambolo early), or watch for audible weapons fire or even listen to the AI if you’ve alerted them. Either way there is no definitely measure to be undetectable if you’re still running and doing stuff.

But there is still will be a chance to escape without chopper and loud army of ai

Well all im saying if the case is that your the Last Man Standing and some kind of extra extra mission is added, there would have to be a way of doing it without the predator coming after you. So maybe turrent fire would come from Zues’s chopper and hits the predator to get him away from you. But it would have to trigger by means of something really special. Otherwise, Predator players are going to regret claiming 3 in a row if it automatically sets it off.
The scenerio would have to be dire, like 20 seconds left on the clock and you can’t get to the chopper area on time. Like it would be your very own self-destruct but its the opposite. It just helps you extend the timer 2 minutes and gets the predator out of your way for a brief period of time. Again, not saying its effective if you’re down on health and ammo.

Ofc if pred can see you and he just claimed 3t ft member, you are doomed. But in situations if ft members are killed far away from you or pred don’t see you , this is your chance to wait until he go away to search you and start escape mission.
Anyway this is will be better option then just fight against pred without chances or put chopper marker on his Hud and defend against horde of orcs meantime

It’s not as hard as you think.

#9

Honestly I’d much rather have Last man standing buff damage and health to the point of being able to go toe to toe with the pred.

What If health and dmg will stay during this mission?)

#11

Tbh I killed today pred during chopper arriving. He was playing berserker with combi. He just ran in straight line to me without camouflage. I put 1 shoot from sniper rifle and mag from vector. Than 2 hits with a knife and he is second winded. Yeah, dmg was too high for ft imo

#12

No.

The hatch mechanic is badly designed and give the FT a free win out of pity and gives the Predator a loss for doing well.

#13

Well, this is the last chance for survivor or ft to live without being killed with zero chances.

#14

While true…being stupid should hurt and in this case it did for the pred.

Still a fan of LMS having a real buff so that both sides have the option of deciding that only one gets out alive

They had a chance.

And they lost it.

Too bad for them it’s a team game and you need your team.

Like the idea.
But the last man standing concept, by increasing the FT stats like damage output, is a way to arrange a Final Fight. However, a fully healthed Pred can easily down a FT. At this point of the match, the FT mamber doesn’t even have more serynges and the default health pack are gone/used.
So, my honest opinion on this thread is that this concept should be stronger in a way that FT can really put up a fight 1v1.

Sounds like the best option.

You can’t kill the killer in DBD, totally different game.

FT’s equivalent of a hatch in this is last man standing.
Needs a different kind of edge though.

Honestly i’d rather it be traps/defensive options like the original movie.
