Suicide option. So you fell down incapacited or is hanging on border...

[westriver]

Too risky for your team to rescue you, but your team does not know it or they are too "far too nice" and will try anyway. Is there any option better than character crying for help on those situations, like suicide or at least a way to disable it (location finder, scream, yellow aura)?

if you're holding on a ledge and the fall won't completely kill you and other players can get to you, you can hold your crouch button and you'll let go

Crouch, thanks Ciel:tinder:

just a tip: there's barely any places you can actually let go from, so don't be surprised if you can't drop from the place. And note that if you manage to, you can still risk death due to a severe amount of fall damage and potential failure of being helped back up if you get incapped

These moments of challenge are nice, as is having some faith in your teammates.

And no it'd just be an easy griefing thing. Try playing a difficulty where you don't get incapped at all :)

there's prob some mods for local servers but don't be that guy, nobody likes that guy

Sorry, I think I failed to pass the situation. It's not a ragequit or something like that. For example, on the end of Cold Stream, I fell incapacited, the rest arrived at the tower, an easy go, but they tried to save me, there was nothing between them and the chopper... as for saving me, they had almost no chance, we had used all throwables to arrive there and team was with low health, I knew they would not be able to, and, we all died. Just for that, sorry, english is not my main language.
* edit: trying to correct some spelling mistakes, sorry
** harder modes don't have location finder? thanks, good to know, played only on normal as I don't know maps and my mapping sense is somewhere I can't locate ;3

You can use a vocalizer to say special lines and extra commands like don't heal me and such and it works even when you are incapacitated afaik.You should try that as well if you don't have one.

Suicide? the whole idea of the game is to coop and work towards the goal of getting everyone to saferoom/escape.
We fight together and we die together. Ofcus theres exceptions to this, but as general rule, a suicide option would destroy the core and purpose of the game..

Im pretty sure the "too nice" people get a kick when they save someone, atleast i do.. and it only gets better if the situation was really tense and close to a wipe. Even the director seems to be programmed around this. If peeps helps eachother then he go a bit lower on the hordes for the few seconds it takes to get one up. admited, sometimes you need to fight before the new "commandlines" is executed but its obvious if you look really close how the game unfolds under certain circumstqances

Plz dont suicide. youl ruin the game, and the gameexperience for the peeps who likes the game for what it is.

I understand and respect your opinion, and for that, probably, there is no "suicide option" in-game. But there is a mission called "sacrifice", that demands a noble action from a human player, so there are exceptions. Also, making it hard, in order to dishearten good team members, on near end rescue, I believe, it's a justified very specific case.

Succesfully helping a downed survivor back on it´s feet can be very demanding. And as an infected, using the downed survivor as bait, offers many tactical opportunities.

Are you sure you want to remove this mechanic?

Sorry, I did not ask for a suicide option, I asked if there was one in-game (I am not trying to change it). I see your point and agree. As I said, I wanted just a few ways in-game, to try to avoid an attempt of rescue on a very specific situation.

No, there is not. You just have to hold on and hope for the best.

Yes, it's pretty bad to see good friends losing the rescue opportunity, after all efforts, on a hopeless attempt. It only adds to my regret
