Suggestions for Bushwhacker

(gg2ez) #1

Bushwhacker’s turret is easy to use and a very easy game mechanic to cooperate with, however, it could do with some UI improvements when placing.

  1. Range indicator: This small improvement could help new players guage a safe range of turret placement or even give competitive players some help too.
  2. Rotate sentry: Much like the TF2 Engineer, Bushwhacker should be able to rotate his turret to fit into a corner, or anywhere.
  3. Health Indicator: A health Indicator hovering above the turret, just like players.

These UI changes shouldn’t affect game balance too much.

Please leave your feedback or any other suggestions for Bushwhacker’s turret.

While I can agree with range indicator and health bar, though I can see the possible applications of rotational placement, I feel it would create the ability to place turrets around corners without exposing the bushwhacker to enemy fire, which even with the set up animation, may catch people unawares, as turrets aren’t exactly obvious at times, especially when you are otherwise engaged in a fire fight or similar.

Definitely agree on health and range indicators though.

Give the turret a mustache matching bushwackers one.

sounds like good UI changes as well

Thanks! I disagree with you on the rotational placement issue though. It is already super easy to destroy Bushwhacker’s turret to you could just turn around and unload half a clip on it, if you’re playing as Aura or Proxy, you can literally jump on top of the turret and knife it to death.
