New Enemy - A random idea

A Bull Enemy

It could quite literally just be called a Bull

It doesn’t have to have horns because having things look too much like animals doesn’t seem to fit the style of the game. I was more thinking this thing could just be a slightly bigger and beefier version of a runner.

It will move slower, and it focuses more on using that charge attack on the player.
It is slower because hitting a well… running runner is one of the most difficult things in this game. So making this big beefy boy slower works for what he is based off of. And makes him more fair to hit. Since enemies are always moving when they try to melee the player.

Instead of having big horns, this enemy can have a sort of ramming bar attached to its face. which proved it with its ramming damage.

It will have a sort of heavy armor on the front of its head like the harvesters have on their legs., so it can be shot off. (Kind of like military runners have I guess) but otherwise its fuel tank can be on its back behind that.
The armor plating can get stronger with each rise up in tier.

He could cause that same slam that big boys cause if he runs into building. And having the apocolypse tier could cause their collisions to explode. causing more damage and all around causing them to be quite terrifying.

As for sounds. just a more deep sounding and longer noted Runner.
Just a random idea. Felt like throwing it out. Cheers for reading if you did.

Bear machine: Much bigger runner, far more armoured and more deadly, but slower weapon systems?

Seems like we’re talking about essentially a smaller harvester. :wink:

Was that at me, sir?
If so, no…
It would be BIGGER, but not HUGE like a tank/harvey.
Something bear sized (Grizzly/Polar).

Slightly slower, but DARN tankey, with the turrets being the real threat.

I would like to see an overhaul on the seekers apart from making noise they are useless, how about suicide seeker that physically chase you and explode in proximity or spy seekers that highlight your position as long as you are in LOS of them let’s say up to 150m

Or tracker seekers that fire darts at you and if hit for 3-5 minutes it attracts enemies…just to make the game a little more interesting or harder depending on your skill level

Why overhauls.
We’ve seen them now what, SEVERAL months.
Always the same 6 machines, just a wee revamped into different classes.

Instead of putting effort and resources in AGAIN overhauling the existing machines, make something NEW…
Surprise us, Avalanche, I am SO DARN SURE you’re up to it…

Just my 2,5 cents. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t think the dev’s will bother to much about seekers as they are the lowest enemies, everybody seems to want new tanks/harvesters…I’m rooting for the little guys :joy::joy:

Revamp = overhaul? :stuck_out_tongue:

I said: build a TOTALLY new one from the ground up.
Seen the current ones just to many times.
It became so utterly boring…
It’s like say playing GTA 5 with only 6 cars in them, instead of the massive amount it has now…
Just plain boring.

Overhaul =to take apart and repair.
Revamp =to give a new and improved form
Not the same.:+1:

Well many use it as the same, so…
Still, point taken.

See, asking is always a good thing if you want to learn. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Xogroroth nah I got what you’re saying. I don’t even have a preference really I just can’t wait until the game is running smooth and then we can REALLY start talking about New incorporations. I’m so excited for the GZ future boys!

Bomb seekers would be obnoxious. Juggling machines can already get hectic enough, and other machines already have the tools to force you out of cover. Adding bomb seekers wouldn’t add much to the experience.
