War club rework

[Purplepred]

Yeah that could be cool maybe the club’s heavy attack could be a grab and if he gets an ft he can just grab them and bonk them on the head

[MassImpact124]

Or melee weapons could be thrown directionally with a two button press.

[Purplepred]

Maybe the stun can be the fts vision going blurry for a couple seconds

[Purplepred]

I think the throwing should only be for smart disc and club

[Purplepred]

But it sounds good known the less

[KameofWar]

War club is still the worst weapon in the game for the predator

just done a few private games with the war club against a well trained FT and the conclusion is the disiorient is useless as it only makes the screen go black and white (correction in quote but the disorient is so fast it doesn’t bother the FT at all) they can still just shoot me to death in 1v1 situations without moving to kill predator first they can also just spam L2 parries to parry every single attack without a thought in their brains which causes the 3rd unparryable hit to never even occu…

[Purplepred]

We need senate in here he would have a good idea for this

[Purplepred]

Maybe. a longer stun time like 7 seconds

[KameofWar]

If the club had a stun effect on any of it’s hits that lasted longer than a second this weapon would literally be as good as the netgun

[Purplepred]

That would work for some good combos bonk then combo throw

[Purplepred]

And maybe the stun can stop them from doing anything they can’t shoot and if they’re in the middle of calling reinforcements it stops them then they to start all over again

[REYNOSO_FUA11]

At this point it should get the same treatment as the axe and hammer in that it needs a heavy and a light attack. It also maybe could get a new effect or a longer lasting concussion specific to the club.

[Purplepred]

Yeah this why I made this dissociation the war club needs help and we must save it

[Purplepred]

And who did they even put in charge of making club stats whoever made needs to be fired on the Spot

[BadBlood]

I don’t have any experience with the warclub so I can’t make any suggestions

[MassImpact124]

Whether or not melees need a new mechanic is only because we kind of expected more fun with it. Rather they just reused the same forula. I dont think there is anything wrong with it, but if they rework it to freshen the experience, then sure.

The war club is the Tachanka of the game. Leave it be untill 5 years down the road

Thank you.

I would say War Club could definitely use a secondary attack, but as far as how to avoid making it a clone of the axe and hammer I have a few ideas:

1. All weapons that do not have a secondary attack get a parry function. This would allow for some pretty cool 1v1s happening, as well building a basis for a more in-depth pred vs pred combat system.

2. The secondary is a heavy attack similar to the axe and hammer, but it momentarily slows sensitivity and movement speed.

3. Similar to #2, but instead of lowering movement speed it momentarily inverts controls.

Just a few ideas on how to make it unique from other weapons in game while making it a viable choice to go up against good teams with.

A while ago when I played more frequently I made a video of only using the War Club against the FT, here’s that if you want to see some war club plays:
