DOG BREATH REWORK PLEASE

[ᝓ Riot]

gas drone known as "dog breath" Is probably the worst stratagem in the game, targets single enemies, costs 110 medals. No aoe, no damage, No fun.

I recommend, making the gas drone hover over enemies and spray gas downward. giving it AOE potential. Maybe changing the radius of gas, change targets after the gas affect is applied, something other than what it does now. Thoughts?

maybe someday.

It is actually pretty good against the squids. What it does is to confuse the enemy so they fight each other. Giving you some more breathing room.

Actually dog breath is a term used to identify demons hahahaha

It unloads the whole canister on a single voteless, it only makes 3 of them confused in a group of 20. they also do not attack each other.

Yeah I tried it out again recently and I'm just not impressed with it. The main issue is that it just unloads it's entire ammo into a single enemy in a effort to kill it and since there's no AoE it means it's just focused on one enemy and barely doing anything the whole time

It needs to have a longer spray and also AoE. Same goes for the handheld version

That whole warbond sucked gas. Only good thing from it was the grenade, now that thing is amazing

Yea its so useless, it doesn't have proper uptime or focus close enemies has to reload often...

It would be cool if the dog's weren't tethered to the player so poorly.

Add a "cough" sound to the dogs attack.
So it sounds like he's coughing on the enemy.

it needs a aoe and i wish the ting didnt hug the player, by the time it activates they are already to close id like it to be more reactive and travel further from the player

I've seen popular suggestions floating around for gas/chemical weapons to lower the armor value of enemies (like acid rain).

Then the guard dog sterilizer would let your light-pen primary kill a hive guard or something.

It's mainly useful against the terminids. Think of it as an improved bubble shield, because while the bubble shield will shield you from the first couple hits while you attempt in futility to create distance between you, the dog's breath will convince the bug to turn to the side and attack the air, giving you actual room.

[Evensong]

imo the dog and stratagem should both leave a lingering effect akin to the grenades, though
the dog also needs some kind of flag that stops it from shooting already confused enemys.

[Mosey]

My biggest complaint is that it really loves to spray down team mates.

Overall it's not very good though, even if it was better at avoiding team mates.

It's funny, if the dog breath behavior and the other rovers behaviors were just switched, we would have the perfect weapon system. Think about it.

here's an idea
JUST DON'T USE STRATEGEMS YOU DON'T LIKE
it's not that hard of a concept to grasp bro

and medals are earned endlessly, what is 110 to you in a few days of playing?

I prefer it over the laser rover against bugs because it stuns chargers if they aren't already charging you and unlike the other two rovers can eventually kill them even if it takes a while.
