Weapons, Equipment and Perks.

I come through this Post, to suggest Again an Adjustment in the Configuration of Weapons, Equipment and Perks that we have Available for Predators and for the Soldiers.

1º-) Weapons.
When talking about Weapons, we need to have more Freedom in Weapon Selection.
Both Predators and Soldiers have a Primary Weapon and a Secondary Weapon, Right?.
But I ask the following questions:

  • Why for Soldiers, We Can’t Freely Choose which is the Primary Weapon and which is the Secondary?;
  • Why Don’t We Have an Option to Take No Weapons?;
  • Why we can’t just use one Weapon?;
  • Why Don’t Pistols Become a Standard Weapon?.

Some Weapons that are in the Secondary Weapons Category, should be Primary Weapons!.
And for Predators, we can Freely Choose which is the 1st weapon and which is the 2nd weapon.
I asked the question about Not using either primary or secondary weapons because I would like a Classic Challenge.
To go Confront the Predator with only a pistol, equipment, advantages and knife.
And with Predator, like Jungle Hunter '87, only with Plasma Cannon and Blades.
I think the Game Experience would also be more Challenging with just one Weapon.
And pistols should be standard equipment.
All soldier classes have a holster for carrying a pistol.
The pistol is a weapon to use when the ammo runs out and we are out of an ammo kit and have to look for one on the map. It shouldn’t be a secondary weapon.

2-) Equipaments.
I think the Equipments is the Poorest Content thing in this Game.
Until now, I don’t understand why the Medical Kit is Not Standard Equipment for Predators and Soldiers.
Every Soldier has a First Aid Kit with him.
I’m saying that this should be a Standard Equipment, so that in the Equipment part, we have Space to take other Equipment According to our Preference or Need.
For example. A Bear Trap is an Equipment. But It’s Not Standard Equipment.
Today, for soldiers, we have 3 healing devices:

  • Field applicators;
  • The Medical Kit;
  • And the resuscitation applicator.

The questions are:
Why is the resuscitation applicator not standard equipment since we can only use it once?
And why not exchange the Field Applicator or the Medical Kit for a New Equipment, as they both do the same thing?.
On the Map, we already have Medical Kits.
We don’t need to take it as an Equipment.
And the Reanimation Applicator could be used just like the Predator Heal Kit. Used 2X.
The Predator has the Pigs on the Map. And the Soldiers have the Medical Kits scattered across the Map.
We could have a New Equipment for Soldiers in place of the Medical Kit.
(Suggestions are Welcome).

3º-) Perks.
And last but not least, the Perks.
I think it’s a waste we have 25 Perks for Predators and 25 Perks for Soldiers, and we can only use 3 Perks per Soldier and 3 Perks per Predator.
I think if we could use the Perks according to how much the Class Allows us to use the amount of Perks, we would have more Combat Prepared Soldiers and Predators.
For example, the Valkyrie.
She can use 9 Equipments and up to 14 Perks.
The Bad is that We cannot use 14 Perks. Only 3.
That’s what I think is Wrong. But for Soldiers too.

It’s a Long Post.
But also with the Focus on Making the Game Better.
I think Adding New Content, New Game Modes, are of Extreme Importance.
But I think these tweaks can make the game better.
Please Like the Post and Let’s Have a Cool Debate.

Because secondary weapons are weaker (or supposed to be at least)

Imagine an assault with the AK and the GOSLR

Both his weapons have the deadly buff and he has close and long range covered

Because that’s suicidal.

If you want that then don’t use your weapons.

Then don’t use you primary weapon

Only use your plasma caster then.

That’s what a secondary weapon is though.

I’d rather have the SMG’s and shoties be moved to primary so that the secondary slot is for pistols and special equipment.

Your right pretty much everyone has health items

Your idea is good but I’d rather have healing items nerfed, and map healing buffed.

Same affect different implementation.

Completely agree.

@Eshtion, in the Game we have to fight Not only with the Predator, but with the AI disturbing the the Team in fulfilling the Mission.
So, I don’t see why we can’t use whatever Weapon we want as a Primary and/or Secondary.
If we analise it, a Shotgun has a higher Firepower than a Rifle.
It’s a Single Shot. So much so that if you notice, it’s one of the Most Used Weapons by Players as a Secondary Weapon.

@Eshtion, You don’t understanded the purpose of my Suggestion.
I don’t want to be forced to take 1 or 2 guns.
I Want a Real Challenge.
Inevitably, I will End up using the other Weapons if They are with me.
I see this as a Customization Option. You can use 1 Weapon, 2 or None.

So, I see that Pistols should be a Standard Weapon as it is a last resort before You have to use a Knife as a Weapon. Because there’s no way to shoot down a predator with a pistol. That’s why I don’t see the Pistols as a Secondary Weapon.

@Eshtion, I even specified in the Post.
Medical kits are standard equipment for any soldier.
We cannot depend on the medical kit on the map.
Soldiers can kill pigs that “cure” predators. And predators can explode the medical kits that are on the map.
Medical Kits and pigs are on the map to be used when our healing kits have already been used.

@Eshtion, Please be more specific. I don’t understand what You Agreed with.

The A.I are easy to deal with outside the new maps which are 50/50 at times

No that belongs to SMG’s and pistols.

That’s just a you problem sorry

Yes there is. It may not one mag but they are strong.

I also mentioned buffs

Buff

Perks shouldn’t be limited to three

@Eshtion, The New Maps are being added with an increasing number of AI Soldiers.
And it’s bad that we have to spend ammo on AI.
Yesterday, when I was playing, I saw the Predator attacking the team and I was looking for a good spot to aim Dante’s missile launcher and have a good shot.
But how do I do that with the AI ​​showing up from All Sides, shooting me in the back?.

@Eshtion, Many Players Are Using the Shotgun DJL-33 Currently.
We have 4 types of Secondary Weapons.

  • Pistols;
  • Submachine guns;
  • Shotguns;
  • And the Special Weapons.

The Pistols I believe would look better as standard equipment. Not as a Weapon Option.
Now, why can’t Submachine Guns, Shotguns and Special Weapons be Primary too?.

@Eshtion, But there may be Players who would find it Cool too.

Yes @Eshtion , I know it’s possible.
But I think few would try to use a Pistol as a 1st Weapon Option to Confront a Predator.

I don’t think it would be good that way.
The way You’re proposing, we wouldn’t even need to bring Medical Kits anymore.
It would be useless equipment.

Glad to see we’ve agreed on something.

Which isn’t always the case, and only affects those maps which until this update were less likely to appear.

The rocket isn’t that good. Plus your giving up ammo that could be spent on A.I

Many

Not good players

Special? No

Special weapons are specifically designed to be secondary weapons

Maybe but you also have to consider they’re giving up dev time to do this. And they’re time isn’t worth much as is.

That’s the point.

Just like how grenades are bonus DPS on top of your weapons

Srynges are bonus healing on top of your med kits
