Yeah mostly good. Don’t agree with making net easier to bust out of it was already very easy

Not me. I shoot the dam thing. I am usually the one punishing the pred when it gets parried. I feel like its going to be a significant reduce in the stun. Most like a full second was shaved off. So now we will be lucky to get 10 rounds off.

Yeah but you now being slowed is probably gonna balance it out. Before i was able to dance around the pred while spaming the interact button but now it looks like the best bet is to be near a teammate

This might actually make less people run around with knives

The entire changes revolve around making pred just rush in and melee.

Heres my guess about how this could be used on a serious note.

Say you bring a net gun, and a combistick.

Net gun for range, Combistick for melee obviously, but the wrist launcher could be combo’d right after a ground slam, to drop enemies as they scatter.
