Self destruct

#1

How many god damn threads do we have to make to get u to listen to us? The fire team being able to disarm the self destruct is absolutely retarded and unrealistic. If u came into contact with an alien u have never seen before, u wouldn’t be able to decipher it’s ancient alien runes. Makes no fuckin sense. Every time I’m down the self destruct always gets defused. Might as well not even bother pushing the damn button.

And since we’re already on the subject, if ft members die CUZ OF MY SELF DESTRUCT it should add to the kill count. Even tho it kills me in the process I still earned those kills

I though this was pretty nonsensical at first also.

However, if the FT could not disarm the self destruct, it would be too easy for Predator to weaponize it.

That’s rly the point of it tho. Make a final blow to the ft before u bite the dirt. It gives them enough time to run out of the radius idk the devs didn’t just stick with that

#4

I don’t agree that is the intent of it, but fair.

#5

I can see what you are saying but also I don’t think we should remove it. Maybe make it harder to pull off. The game is already bare bones as it is without us removing gameplay features.

#6

Even if you self destruct they can run away and you still lose so what’s the issue?

#7

If they run and get away then that’s fine by me. It just doesn’t make sense that it’s like “whoa wuts dis doohickey do??? Lemme push a buncha buttons on it! Beep beep boop oh we no blow up now”

I agree that it doesn’t make sense but what’s the problem from a gameplay stand point. I also agree that if a FT dies from the self destruct it should count towards a kill for the Predator.

May be not take the ability all togheter (FT must have a way to counter this, its a weapon of sort) but make it harder, or allow one player to disarm it, not the whole team

#10

Maybe implement a perk that allows them to disarm it? Like maybe a 4 or 5 cost perk ?

#11

Yeah ok I could go with that. Have there be like a OWLF Intel perk, where the corporation taught u how to work with pred geae

I agree that if you self destruct and kill members of the FT it should definitely add to Predator’s kill count.

I don’t think the bomb defusing should go though cuz it adds suspense to the game. Maybe they should just make it harder to do as someone else stated above.

yes… who see this on any predator movie ? absolutely bullsht noobs crying for nerf still but they dont wanna see other realities like disarming the … arm computer only at predator 2018 that little kid was understanding something because of our current age so ppls expectations… (and there was no arm computer scene) thats nothing but bullshit honestly when self destruct active if predator dies auto cancel thats … bullshit too… what ? they think we dont see ? predator is strong creature as hunter
and blocking attacks (especialy berzerker) with a … knife ? give me a break… there are still lot of things to be discuss still…

I don’t think they should get rid of it but for realism I get where you are coming from if they got rid of it it would never kill any Ft unless they were already down as everyone would just run and easily clear the blast radius, having the option defuse makes a tense decision to I run and save yourself or try and defuse for bonus xp. If they were to get rid of it though then for balance they would need to add the same or a similar mini game to arm it rather than just holding down 1 button

#15

After some consideration I think having just 1 person be able to defuse I’d be fine with it. Idk all of the ft could defuse at once. Or like that guy up there said make it be a perk slot

#16

There’s new pinned thread by the Courier, check it out. On feedback.
They started communicating.

#17

Yeah that would be good should be the same for every interaction really, objective reviving teammates and especially the exfil chopper, lost count of how many times I’ve been trying to escape without realising someone else was on the same rope only to have that disappear when they escape.

#18

Yeah it gets annoying

I mean, if you want to talk about realism in this game, look no further than Predator 2. Danny Glover cuts an armed bomb in half, along with the Predator’s arm, and effectively “defuses” it. So I guess having the FT simply use their knives to slice it would be far more fair?

“But Bimmy”, you say, “Danny Glover used the Predator’s smart disc and those regular steel knives wouldn’t cut through Predator tech!”

Well, for the sake of realism, perhaps the Fireteam should also be able to pick up and use the Predator’s weapons such as the smart disc, combistick, elder sword, etc. Maybe when you toss your disc or stick at the Fireteam and miss, they should be able to pick that shit up and spear you through the gut, killing you instantly?

The bomb is a fun game mechanic that can add a lot of tension and being able to disarm it at the expense of “realism” is necessary and perfectly acceptable. I do agree that the Predator should absolutely get the kills for any FT member caught in the blast as the source of damage comes from the Predator.

There’s only one wrist computer but 4 FT can all disarm their own. It’s a race not a life-saving maneuver.

Why? Because then it’d have to be on illfonics servers…

IMO: blast radius should be +5%ed and one FT should be able to defuse.
