Engineer skill upgrade to Hunter Pods

Hunters are one of the hardest enemies in the game and those stupid harvesters can now spawn them with pods if we were able to spawn them in that’d be great :rofl:

Interesting idea but with one critical flaw: hunter pod is bigger than you are and there is no way you could fit it into your inventory, as you could fit tick pods.

Also, based on their size, they should be weighing at least 2500 units, while max what you can carry and sprint is 96 units.

God no Maybe a hunter pod could be put into a truck and thrown out the back to deploy but jeeze you would need 8 people to carry one of those

Multiplayer only so we can carry it or a bike transport or drag the item or a cannon?

Dragging is nice concept that could be added to the game so you could get a skill for it so you could drag a hunter to use as cover or if you were a team you could drag a harv or tank to build a makeshift base

Dragging tanks and harvesters is a bit much but that idea is good

I think, some kind of consumable item like a lure or a special flare to call down a reprogrammed Hunter to help out would be a cool idea. It would have to have some kind of cooldown or limit to one at a time.

Maybe related to Annika’s virus software from FNIX Rising.

ooooh that sounds awesome

Could scavenge it off a Harvester, perhaps. Add more depth to the Mechanic Perk.

whats taking you so long to type :rofl:

To this i’ll say hard No since i’m solo player and i don’t want me or any other solo player to be left out.

You’d need a proper truck to haul that hunter pod around, not some flimsy bike.

It’s weight is the one that won’t make hunter pod draggable by one person, without the aid of a truck.
E.g try dragging 2.5 to 4 ton item on the ground.

You lost me here.
You mean a cannon that shoots out hunter pods?

That’s a good workaround. E.g you can loot the comm array that calls in hunters and once deployed, hunter pod is air dropped in, to fight on your side.

All that above…

Ok that is alot umm

yes i do

I just want to be able to got chewie on a tank climb up it or maybe a reused hunter pod, grab a sledge hammer start smashing its roof and climb in smashing it from the inside

Like you’ve got in FNIX rising a truck trailer mission that was in the trailor and like that could be added to the dlc for a new mission? hint hint nudge nudge

i mean dragging a hunter pod with the truck

Its possible we could use another truck but driving it ourselves? the devs would need to do some serious coding

Spoiler

As calle drives the truck in the DLC

With cannon idea:

  • cannons are in fixed position and can cover only small area
  • how you’re going to load hunter pod in the cannon?
  • if you fire the cannon, you need to run after the hunter pod so you would have machines at your side

Haven’t played the new DLC that far but as far as i’m aware, you can’t operate that truck by yourself.

I’m pretty certain ppl said about the software they made GZ on isnt the best for vehicles

as in the truck moves with an npc inside and the npcs help you lift the hunter pod like maybe the resistance could help with it

Then they press a button and the hunter has been hacked and it clears a path for you?

Apex engine is designed for seamless open world. How good/bad vehicle physics in it are, that i don’t know.

Yes, but all that trouble just for 1 or 2 hunter pods? Better stick AG4 into the hand of NPC and let him/her do the fighting alongside of you.
