Competition Mode Gameplay Changes

[HolyOrangeJuice]

When it comes time for ranked then I'd like to see the crouch button removed. Make it a little more work and less cheese of the spam crouch.

A friend wanted them to add having to manipulate the bolt/slide of a weapon to reload.

Also changing the health system to need to buy armor to have the current character durability in combat.

So far is has been a lot of good fun.

I like your suggestion of removed crouch button and buying armor. But i personally find it fantastic, that the weapons do not need any complicated reload action. It makes it simple and fun to play, because one can focus on the game play and not fiddling around on the weapons

For casual I agree it is perfect as is. Just think for ranked you should have to do a little extra. The reload action doesn't bother me in a game like this. It isn't trying to be a full realism shooter.

We've decided from the start with Breachers that a simple reload fits the game better. There is already a lot going on and messing with the slide on each weapon (while admittedly very cool), this takes away from the core of the game. The nice thing about a simple reload is that we control the reload time for each gun, which makes it more balanced, fair and controllable in competitive matches.

Gotta remember that this game is set in the future. So you might not need to actually put a bullet in the chamber. It may be so futuristic that the gun loads itsself.
Crouch button removal, i'm all for it.

Reviving this thread because I too want prone to be added into the game like Onward. Face up prone would be cool too similar to Seige when you're up against a wall.

that would make sense, but I would want one of the first VR-shooter comp scenes to set the precedent, that of VR games being fundamentally different beasts compared to flat-screen.

Crouch button needs to be removed entirely. It's a VR game, use your body.

Not everyone has the ability to use their body. Players with disabilities (for example wheelchair users) should be able to play our game too, hence why this feature is there. We won't be deleting it. We already tinkered with cooldowns, and we'll be looking into further ways where people can't abuse it.

Thanks for this devs!

Everyone is using it for one single reason: dodge bullets. If they see an enemy they press crouch and are for a second difficult to headshot.

There is only one fix for that: your gun doesn't shoot while in transition.

Every wheelchair player can use the button to crouch and noone ever can abuse it. Cooldown did't change the abuse yet.

>I can't win because people are crouching.

Smells like a skill issue. How do people generally win other competitive games? You can crouch there!

I hope you're not refering to me. I was talking about the transition.

Why does noone dodge bulltes in Onward or Pavlov? Because when you move your body, you will woble around and miss your shots. Still many people in these games are crouching. Crouching is not the problem. Shooting while moving up and down is the problem.

True and I agree. Recently tried the game in a seated position and it felt real good. Sometimes it's easy to forget others who are not as fortunate.
