Ability #1: RC car that you can control and then blow up in a 3m radius delivering 210 DMG close to the car.
And 100 at the end of the radius.
When you control it it opens up a camera covering your whole screen and you can switch between you and your car controlling
With the 1 and 2 keys on your number pad.
If you die when controlling your car it automatically blows up.
The car itself has 50 HP and moves at aura’s speed.
It is on a 45sec cool down
This merc is also an engineer.
Another drone (type) of idea! Neat idea as most of them, but not sure about the damage, it seems a little bit… idfk, how large is it? Does it have any other disadvantages? (except the controlling one.) Also it would take a lot to program and bug fix tho.
hmmm, a direct rip from cod, but i think as there isnt anything similar in db, and the opportunity for counterplay is there, thats fine, and please dont let anyone convince you that it needs to do objectives, that has too little opportunity fir counterplay
@SweetGenocide I’m pretty sure that programming something like this is surprisingly easy, though as DB has a small development team (which lets be honest isn’t stellar) which would make it time consuming
Kills Phoenix and below in similar situations to the AIRSTRIKEPLS scenario. There’s a lot of moments where players might find that ability to be annoying and frustrating.
However, the fact that it could be shot out of the ground, even by a sniper rifle shot, makes this kind of gimmick a necessity to be useful, especially considering that it has a 45 second cooldown.
Except for the fact that the thing has a 3 meter radius, and could one-shot a rhino on direct contact. That clears rooms too easily. Frag grenades have a blast radius of 1.15m as far as I can tell, and oh boy, it does work.
I however do think that the explosive could be balanced. It’s like a moving Proxy mine, which the player can also use to watch over an area, and push into enemy territory. The cost of course is Fletcher’s speed and Proxy’s health.
Or even better, the drone could shoot.
…
Anyways, if this thing was reworked to be a pushing gadget, I think that this character shouldn’t be an engineer. Fletcher is already AIDS in this game because he’s the best character to push towards an objective. Objective Specialist is supposed to complement a defensive ability.
I would however like to add that I think this character (if she were an engineer) could be fine using the Timik/Dreiss/M4A1 instead of the KEK-10/SMG-9. Bushwhacker already has those two SMGs, and it would be cool to see an assault rifle engineer.
Looks at Turtle… *
Well, if Turtle gets those weapons he would be terrible, so…
@JJMAJR i forgot to add that if it gets shot the cool down is down to 20 seconds.
We could also lower his dmg range on it to 1.15m, but the dmg has to be the same in light of the long cooldown and low hp.
Also i think we could change the SMG-9 to hokfire to change it up from Bushwacker a bit? @Dysfnal
Pretty sure i’ve discussed remote control items a few times. One issue that comes up is that if you’re driving a car or drone, you’re not shooting people.
@Naonna, I think that since this ability is meant to be used to break defenses and actually get kills, it’s not that bad
@Bushwanker you can shoot people while mines are planted, yeah, the only merc that you can’t simultaneously use their combat ability and gun is with Fragger really, and cooking the grenade only takes a moment
(They changed aimee for the exact reason I stated. prior to her most recent release, she was required to look through the camera to spot people for her team)
