Remove teammate activation from Hell-bomb backpack.

[SilentHero]

From the games, I've been encountering some low-level players trying to be funny or just dumb, deciding to waste my bomb for laughs or curiosity .
The function doesn't help the person wearing the bomb; this, to be honest, is more of a troll feature.
The backpack is extremely fun, and you can set up some amazing kill combos. The only thing that ruins the fun is people just being dumb.



After reading some of these so-called responses , the ability to be set off by teammates should be removed indefinitely. It promotes trolling, and in a way, griefers will target you for using it. No other weapon in the game produces such a negative response from teammates as this so-called feature.
If you are against the idea of removing the function, then you are probably a troll looking to ruin someone else's time. If you believe this is a rant, then you are a small-minded individual who lacks the understanding of the bigger picture and should not be allowed to participate in future discussions on the matter due to your lack of common sense.

I think pressing E to activate is dumb. I recommend hold E to activate would be better to avoid accidental activation. I had this scenario play out where a teammate with the hellbomb backpack and I were opening a bunker, I was looting the shelves when he suddenly went in front of me and pressing E activated his hellbomb by accident, he starting panicking and running to dump his hellbomb, boom, he flew miles away but managed to survive.

no. leave it.

I think they should get rid of it. Literally it's only purpose is trolling since there is not a single situation where someone else would need to hit the button. Such a scenario does not exist.

However, until/if they decide to do so, just make sure the person that pushed the button dies for it either immediately with a shot to the face or by following them around until it blows.

If they do it 10 times, the map is basically over since it costs at least two respawns every time they do it.

Don't take the prank pack if you aren't ready to make it someone else's problem.

[Kryzan]

Negative. I wanna see the explosion.

If they activate it, just stay close to them.
If they get angry because you were close to them, just remind them that they were the ones who activated the bomb, not you.

The Hellbomb backpack is a new strat after all. So people need to learn that it's not a good idea to touch it. Just like we learnt that "standing next to a Hellbomb and hitting it to see if it would do anything" was a bad idea.

this sounds very...undemocratic

so true

There's really no strategic purpose to allow it. Especially in pubs. It's time to go.

don't wear it with people around who aren't busy. when i carry mine i already have a place to be to set things off.
got my first 500+ kills now and exactly 1 time did someone activate my bomb, and that was at extract when there was nothing much to do. and then too, just either blow the guy up with it or run for 5 seconds, drop it, run 5 seconds back. i doubt it was wasted much if you didn't already have somewhere to sprint towards if someone had a chance to activate it on you.
probably overreacting there.

This is a democracy. Sometimes other people vote in ways you don't want, like setting off your hellbomb.

There's a perfectly good reason to wear it, and it is to reduce the annoyance of its cooldown when needing it. I had instances where I'm fighting to take enemy bases from afar with the cannon turret, and some geniuses on the team thought, "Hey, let me press the button."

It is not an overreaction , but a real question that a smart person would ask themselves: what purpose does it serve for someone else to activate it? In that case, would you be okay if I took some of your supplies from your supply backpack ?

You're probably that 1 out of 100 that activates the bomb to be a butt.

What you are doing is basically wasting my hell bomb on nothing and making me wait 4-3 minutes for me to recall it and got us both killed because guess what, I killed you for being a wise guy.

I do, and not only that, whenever anyone gets close to me , they receive a warning slap or shot

Cry more. If someone's gonna turn your bomb on just make it their problem.
Instead youre whining here about logic in a game where a good percentage of people act like idiots.
You want people to stop touching the pack? Set it off on them. Run at them. Blow them up. Yeah sure it sucks you lost your spawn obliterator but the price of payback has and never will be too high if someone wants to screw around.
Ive no reason to touch your pack because I know how much of an anal rupture it tends to cause to people who whine too much and if I wanted to hear a dog bitch about it I'd have gotten a dog to begin with.

ok so you decide to just run around with the thing on your back until its actually needed / someone else blows it up, INSTEAD OF calling it in WHEN you are at the spot its needed? and then you whine and act like it is an issue? seems like a you problem my dude.

What are you going on about?

It's smarter to call the thing in early and have it already on your back when you do need it instead of calling it down the exact moment that you do. Having the thing already called down means that the timer is resetting for your next bomb allowing you to call in a new one after you use the current one. It also lets you resolve situations that might come up that needing resolving right away instead of waiting to put in the secret konami code and waiting the 10 seconds for it to come down from the sky

Having it ready in advance lets you use it right when you need to but most importantly to get a new one right after
