Change predator's bracelet explosion without breaching.

Post by TeknoKot » 05 Jun 2016, 16:56

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Change predator's explosion upon death by thirteen/whatever tiles and work same as a frag grenade but more damage, depending how far you are, if 3-6, good luck surviving. Their explosions are LARGE honestly if going from movies/lore.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Stops predators from breaching Sulaco and admins constantly replacing tiles to fix breaches.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Make the explosion somewhat act like a frag grenade but in a large radius, depending how close you are, the more damage, 3-6 tiles and you're out of luck. Also, maybe an additional feature such as the predator laughing as he blows up?

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): coding???

Predator already laugh when he dies, listen carefully. ;)
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

While this is technically possible, explosions function on strength. You could easily survive an explosion that doesn't breach the station, just like the chemical grenades that have a huge radius but aren't immediately lethal. We'd need to rewrite explosions or make the Sulaco completely breach proof.

Neutral. I'd be fine with it being a breach proof kind of chem grenade, however I think the explosioin is as strong as it is, because the main focus is more or less gib the pred, leaving no remnants.

I'd be fine if it's a large radius bomb without the need for a breaching and blowing up, however while the current one is annoying, it's damn effective.

only effective against the marines however, seen a group of t3s get caught in the blast next to ground zero, and then they all stood up and just ran away - contrary to the previous version of the explosion which killed 'em or put them into crit outright.

+1. Should be another category/severity of blast damage which deals insane amounts of damage but doesn't breach the Sulaco.

This isn't happening for a while. Maybe in the future, but I sort of doubt it.
