Heartbeat Sensor

(amazinglarry) #1

So since the USA is out drinking on Thanksgiving Eve instead of playing, a few of us were left messing around and one of the topics that came up was the heartbeat sensor, so I figured we could idea dump here about it.

So here are some thoughts on it.

  • How long is the timer for it once it’s been thrown out?
  • What is the range?
  • You can destroy it by shooting it, but you are unable to knife it.
  • Do enemy players need to be within line of sight of it for it to take effect?

Just some ramblings, since right now it’s not entirely intuitive. Just a flashy thing that is on the ground.

Thanks for the feedback. This ability is still being tweaked so these answers will change :stuck_out_tongue:

  • 30s lifetime
  • Around 8-9m radius
  • Should be able to knife, good bug!
  • It sees through walls

We want to eventually add some sonar-like pulses to the minimap (and maybe a small/subtle in-world effect) for it to show range and give players a better idea of what it’s doing.

oh, that helps.

First I thought I had to stick em to someone’s ass for them to work :slight_smile:

I did spot that the hearbeat sensor was emitting the pulse in the tutorial video. It was only a sec or two so easy to miss.
