Sticky bomb boss problem

[Aydhe]

Dunno how you guys feel about it but imo sticky bomb makes killing bosses far too quick and easy. This basically means that coming across team which actively fights the boss is very rare and in many cases bosses die within first 2-3 minutes game. It would be really nice if their damage would be toned down, or more bosses like assassin would be added.

(assassin sucks balls bigtime because 90% of fight it's in invulnerable state which really takes piss but some middleground would be nice)

Sticky bomb is there to help teams that don't want to camp 30 minutes in a bush for things to happen.

It's balanced already that it doesn't kill the bounty outright and and alerts everyone on the map that an explosion went off

It's balanced as it is.

I'm using it myself and as much as i understand why it's there... i feel like it makes banishing start too early in some of the games.

That could be fixed by making teams not spawn right next to the bounty

just take the big dinamite bundle, you can oneshoot every boss with it as well as yourself in the process

From internal information, i can tell you that team that's working on hunt is actually very small... so things like that we can likely only wish for :|

Stamina shot > sticky bomb

It's just another choice to make. Do you want to take out bosses quickly, or have an item useful for pvp?

That sticky grenade is one less actual grenade that gets thrown in your direction.

You can melee bosses as a solo pretty darn quick too.

I always use sticky bombs, it's faster that way and I personally don't see the point in trying to have a brawl with the boss if I can skip it. If you don't like Stickies, just don't use them.

Tbh one guy already addressed the issue with suggestion.. too bad crytek probably doesnt read those discussions :|

M8 it aint even fast.. Killing the assassin with the bomb lance is even faster, or the butcher with penny shot ammo..

Dude trying to get a PVE tool nerfed, what an actual honking clown

Sticky bomb doesn’t work on assassin, well not easily at least you really have to time it right, otherwise bosses are super easy anyways. The only time a stick bomb saves me is the enrage time. With the right melee weapons you can enrage bosses in one stagger if you and your team mate both fight the boss.

I think bosses should be made into a bit more of a fight, being a BOSS of EVIL, it seems silly some tier 1 farmer with a stam shot and an axe can just melee a monstrosity of such down

1- I think melee needs to NOT stun bosses

2- sticky bomb damage reduced to half instead of 3/4 boss health

3- damage resistance to certain things increased

The “fastest” way to kill a boss should be hyper-specialized weapons like Bomb Lance and Nitro
The second best should be to mag dump your weapons
Anything else should be less efficient than the above
