Why On Earth Does the Disc have HP?

Unsure of this design choice. Of all the weapons in the game, they decide THIS is only one that has HP? The Smart Disc is by far my favourite Predator weapon, I use it every game regardless.

Why does it exclusively have HP? FT hate the combi, and it has been nerfed into the ground yet it still has no HP - or any other Pred weapon for that matter. Give that thing hp so it can be destroyed and the FT can have one less thing to bitch about. My question is why, and why only ONE?

Not only is this weapon unwieldy (made much better by the recent patch I might add but still lacking), but why am I being punished for choosing a weapon to have it destroyed by accidental barrel explosions or bullets and then being forced to have only WB, PC or whatever alt I have left. No other weapon has this penalty. I do not get this design choice.

It has a terrible “return” mechanic - it gets stuck mid air, middle of building walls and whatever else and results in me frantically jumping around trying to reclaim it and losing pressure or valuable time. Yet devs decide “fuck it, make it so players can literally lose the weapon entirely for an entire match. #1 game mechanic”. Do it for all projectile type weapons or remove it all together. It’s just outright confusing.

Because the Devs are dumb.

Since 1.08 I wasn’t able to destroy the disc.
I mean, I stumbled upon a handful of bugs as FT so it doesn’t surprise me at all if this is another bug.

Agree with OP

We’ve destroyed the Combistick multiple times.

You have? That is great news. How did you manage to break it? You say we, is it you and a friend choosing to shoot it or use grenades on it? Also, how easy does it get destroyed. Every time I shoot I feel as if the bullets clip through the stick.

The time I witnessed it I was shooting at it and my friend was hacking it with a knife, and it wasn’t easy as Im sure most of my bullets weren’t hitting it. Total ammo drain and time waster to be honest. The other times my friend hacked it with his knife. I was led to believe this shouldn’t happen, that it was indestructible so maybe there’s a bug with it? But in those specific games we never saw it used again, neither thrown or used for melee.

Because Illfonic. They make weird decisions that make no sense and take months to address them.
