Suicide puppet

[Ghost_RiDeR]

So...since the new patch, whose got blown up alrdy??

[ZY-CL4P-TP]

I dunno about you, but i would really love to see joke items drop from them during festive events :P

[serilium]

i`ll see what there like on saturday, i don`t play during the week, i don`t have time and i`m getting bored playing all the time, i`ve seen raykit`s video about them so i`m not expecting good things, after all how do you punch them to death without getting killed by them, same with melee nice one devs, oh sorry i thought you were trying to destroy the game not save it.

Maybe change tactics? Like avoid them or wait till you have a weapon capable of dropping them from a distance?


Most players want more threats in the game. What are you going to do when they implement all the threats that are planned?

Scum is not rainbow-unicorn-candy-land.

More pucker factor the better imo.

You're not supposed to melee them - you're supposed to shoot them. If you dont have a gun, well - to bad, you're dead.

I dont understand the issue here. Care to elaborate?

Well just throw you melee and pick it up later.
How many explosions can your crafted hatchet withstand?

[kasbah]

I’d like to see a headshot being able to down them without triggering the explosion. Could also thing about them dropping bomb parts.

LOL people actually complaining about the bomb puppet now?? yeah I can understand that if you were spoon few till the age of 18 but hey.. not everything in a game should be easy going. Adapt your tactics and play style to overcome these new threats. It will keep your brain functioning and you be on alert and as mentioned above.. "Scum is not rainbow-unicorn-candy-land."

Create a SP character to "test" these suicide bombers and see what works and what not before you go on to your online character and die, this will save you from posting about how you die or that you do not like the new puppets.

Okay, where exactly can i find these bomb guys? I've went from one side of the map to another, got to the Airport, raided it, getting out now and still no suicide bomber... I thought they spawned at military pois

They do but they are rarer than other puppet types. For an example - the airport has multiple spawners, each spawner can spawn between 2-4 puppets of various types and it chooses between 10 " normal " puppets and 1 suicide puppet when spawning. So the chance to spawn suicide vest puppets is a bit smaller than usual.

Naval base, B2 airport and Zeljava Airport have the biggest chance of spawning them.

So, I wasn't too concerned about Bombies as they said they spawned in Military pois, I assumed that meant places with Mechs. I'm not close to any of those places right now.

So, I'm strolling through the city at night, I go to the Gym to loot. Turn on my NVG cause it's dark in there and I know they'll be some Puppets.

Shoot the first one or two, and I see another running towards me. He looks different somehow. I can't quite figure out what's different as I'm in NVG and it's very monochrome. .......then I hear the BEEPING.....BOMBIE! BOMBIE! SHOOT IT!!!.......10 meters is surprisingly close....I'm dead.

[Freakalicious]

useless puppets. Get rid of this ♥♥♥♥

[goathens]

++suicide puppets. ++PVE. Finally something on the island that kills you besides pvp-squads.

I want the suicide puppets to also spawn near large player bases, lol.

I like @kasbath idea for the puppet to drop bomb-crafting parts... even after they blow up.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm exploring the city ATM...

So, 2nd Bombie death today, at that little camp (three small tents and one large) that is southwest of the shoot range. I spawned in there, and IMMEDIATELY had a Bombie in my face, right next to me. I shot it before I heard the beep.

This was in single player. When I got back, I couldn't find my body. If Bombies get too close to they disintegrate you or did they change single player?

Your body is still there, you just can't see it. I have to get a squadmate to come over and search my body to get my stuff back usually. I'm not sure how to deal with that in SP, relogging might do the trick
