Nerf Choke Bombs?

[beers]

Every time we get into a fight with trios, and we down one of the enemy Hunters, the IMMEDIATE response by his other two team mates is to find a place and hide like a little rat. So what do I have to do? I throw a molotov to burn the body. Then instantly a random choke bomb is thrown from a random angle and removes the fire from the Hunter we downed. These rats immediately go back into hiding, forcing me and my team to waste MINUTES to wait for the choke bomb to disappear so we can burn the body and try to flush out his rat team mates. But nope, for some reason someone thought it was a good idea to make choke bombs extremely cheap and come in packs of two?

For christ's sake. They need to address choke bombs and either heavily nerf them or remove them. NO ONE wants to sit there and wait for 15 minutes because rats want to waste everyone's time by throwing a choke bomb and then proceed to play hide and seek. Some of us want to get to the damn boss and do the objective. We don't have time to play hide and seek simulator while we wait for a damn cloud of gas to disappear. This is insanely boring and makes fights uninteresting and completely tedious in the most time-consuming way possible. Do something about choke bombs already. They need to heavily be nerfed. These 20 minute long drawn out "hide and seek" fights with one team, while the enemy bounty on opposite map goes to extract is ruining the game experience.

Actually based. Chokes are more annoying than anything.

Tried this once and will never do it again for these two reasons:

1.) You run up to the body to try and "dauntless" the choke bomb you hear and then the OTHER player in the enemy Trio just head shots you.
2.) The person throwing the choke from a random angle who is hiding cooks it so it explodes perfectly near the body enough so that it penetrates walls / clips the body to protect it from fire BUT doesn't allow you to be close enough to put it out with dauntless.

There's a reason why dauntless cost only one trait point. Because it's a damn gimmick.

Lets look at it from bright side. After headshot you can check where they were hiding.

Sounds like both sides are camping.

Chokes are a solution to a solution. They should never have been added. Also dauntless doesn't work when they use the choke on the other side of a wall.

[Eldritch Panda]

It's wild how EVERYTHING has a counter in this game, fire, poison, bleed, but chokes have none.

[Nitro Enjoyer]

You made a 3v3 into a 2v3 and you aren't pushing? I agree chokes are annoying as hell but when you have the advantage just push them. If its out in the forest I can understand but you got to push them when they go to throw the choke or you're just as much of a rat/camper as they are imo

привет как твои дела

So use other traps or stop camping the body and go find them instead of complaining that they are camping. This is silly.

[CynicDragon]

skill issue :D

[Eldritch Panda]

3*s not knowing why chokes are must takes lol, skill issue

[Barry MaCockiner]

You/your team made a move, other team countered, what happens next?
This is playing the game isn't it? What do you want a gold plated path to double bounty?

I find this "wasting time" argument truly funny, wasting time playing the game as it unfolds, how is that wasting time?

If there were no consumables in this game compound fights would be repetitive and boring, its the consumables and their counters that make compound fights unique and interesting.

If you're sitting there for 15 waiting for the campers then what are you doing?

[ThePointlessBox_]

the hunter is still downed and they cant revive him without exposing themselves and getting choked in the process
if its trio you just turned a 3v3 into a 3v2. you have the advantage and its on you to push

[Inv1s1ble]

Sounds like way to passive playstyle from all players involved. If you don't like it, push the other team...

[Eric Clapped 'Em]

Chokes should just not have their initial large explosion go through walls and floors. If there is no direct LoS to an area, the choke bomb shouldn't apply smoke/choke there.
