Ya but why remove something when you can both without harm
I understood the context it’s just you went from the FT will complain to remove the base classes and so I was assuming removing the base classes was a way too compensate since you didn’t offer a solution.
lol I wiped most of Predator 2018 from my mind. Completely forgot about the guy jumping onto a flaming cyborg predator. Joke about knife damage goes here.
Considering in P2 and AvPR casters are really vulnerable to gunfire and damage.
It’s safer in the gauntlet. And all the gauntlets in Predator 2018 were removable.
It’s smaller and retracts completely into the gauntlet rather than poking over the shoulder on a really long hinge thing. Also you can’t shoot over the opposite shoulder with the traditional shoulder canon.
Actual question is how you make this function differently from the plasma pistol ingame. Probably just a reskin. Or make it a long-range plasma pistol with a drastically slower firerate?
I’ve been wanting the blade launcher thing since launch though.
Ok but why not- you get the point. We can add all three predators preds without removing the original classes. What is the benefit of removing these classes?
It’s a lot harder to protect your shoulder from being hit by return fire than your arm that only needs to go up for a second to kill whatever’s infront of you. Gauntlet caster ditches the whole shoulder-case-opening-loading-sequence. If any part of the shoulder cannon takes damage the things dead weight on your shoulder. And no risk of blowing off your head if you don’t turn completely to fire.
Haven’t seen it, post a gif. It’s still an exposed caster vulnerable to return fire once it’s out though. Wolf took two and they both got rattled by some blunt damage and the janky hinges broke if i’m remembering right.
Longer than just waving a hand at the person shooting at you.
They do still have to manuever their whole body and position themselves infront of things or at a shoulder-friendly angle to actually hit them.
The chances of hitting the caster while just spraying at a predator’s center mass is way way higher than your chance of dinging the gauntlet.
Same if you get knocked down by an alien and roll over your caster, or a xeno’s on your back, the thing is fucked lol. Whereas it doesn’t have to do all the folding and shrinking and booting up if it just slides in and out the wrist compartment.
Shoulder cannon still has an edge aiming at things overhead and covering the respective flank but wrist caster is less vulnerable to damage in general. They still both have niches.
