Rescuing Doretta's head adds a survival bonus

[Arveragus]

Rescuing the Drilldozer's head currently does not give you any benefit. Adding in a survival bonus (to a maximum of 5) would give players an incentive to actually take the head along beyond a voiceline.

[JeanneOskoure]

No. It has been stated a million times it is just an easter egg and it will NEVER give any kind of bonus.
Save Doretta because you want, not because you have a reward if you do.

[Mage Hand, Wizard Brand]

It doesn't give any benefit for a reason and it should stay that way

Head is meant for your own good heart, not a reward.

[0ptimistPrime (the Gray)]

There is no need to add incentives, the payoff is the satisfaction of doing it (and getting to see her head in the victory screen).
If any players don't want to bring back her head because "satisfaction" isn't enough reward for the effort spent, that's perfectly fair, they can leave her behind.

If the devs add a reward for it, it's effectively no different from a Secondary Objective; completely optional but everyone will feel as though they need to do it to maximize gains.
I was one of the first people to suggest allowing us to bring Doretta's head back, and at the time I suggested a small reward for doing so. But in hindsight, I'm glad the developers didn't take that route. Being purely optional is a better system, imo.

Only if I will have a choice to put that thing in a grinder to torture this annoying dumb piece of metal.

Yes, this one will do too. But it should melt slowly

[Femboy Thighs]

Yes, make bringing Doretta's head back give you 1 credit. A single credit. Watch in hilarity how many people will feel pressured to do it to "maximize profits"...

Now that's a good idea.

Make it worth 1 credit, do it devs.

how about just don't waste your time and safety rescuing a useless heavy object

If players are having fun doing it, it's not time wasted
For those who don't have fun doing it, they get to leave it behind and not lose out on any potential bonuses.

Win-win situation.

for those who don't have fun doing it, they have to suffer for their team's incompetence because the team cares more about a meaningless lump of metal than actually getting home

No they don't. The person carrying Doretta's head doesn't impact the MULE's speed. For those who just want to ignore it, they can make it to, and in the drop pod, in the same amount of time they normally would.

If having to wait 1-2 minutes more for the guy carrying the head (and that's if they're REALLY slow and don't know how to throw + sprint), then that sounds like a you problem. If you're really so angry about it, just kick them or TK 'em. Problem solved. It's not like you're gonna die waiting in the drop pod with the 99.9% damage reduction.

Plus, devs aren't going to ever budge on their decision. So I don't know why you keep complaining about it. Angry man yells at clouds, I guess.
