dark sight dynamite

[HakkaH]

Why nobody use it anymore?

[The Classy Alien]

i think because it makes a lot of noise, so it becomes useless as a trap

[Mr. Mandude]

Just place it and an alert trap under it to make an improv red barrel trap

[Crotch]

I've been trying to find some use for it in the last 2-3 days but it's just not worth it. Super inconsistent damage, super loud, visible with Vigilant. Almost impossible to fall for it.

What you can use it for is to easily kill bosses. But as a trap it's complete trash.

[Alt Number 7 Password1]

I still never even seen it nor used it

[Vanilla Gorilla]

I've seen it twice but you can hear it 20 meters away easy.

[Unforseen_Queefer]

because there are more dire consumables needed. not to mention when it first came out the devs slapped it with a 200+ doller price tag which made it unappealing.

[Heartless]

Ive been trying to use it, but its far too loud now after their fix. People hear it and either detonate it or just avoids it.

[pryanichek]

I think it was a useless gimmick from the beginning. Either it makes a noticeable sound and almost noone will fall for it, or it doesnt make any sound and ppl will die without any counterplay.

Ofc there are ways to redefine its idea (add a timer or gradient sound depending on distance, etc...), but crytek isnt famous for tuning stuff, i dont think they give a single sheeeeeeet about it...

[Der Guteste TTV]

Like why would anyone? It was clear from the Start. It competes with great allround consumables like bit shot, hellfire, frag, Regen shot and now resto shot. Why would anyone ever use a clunky remote placement trap that even reveals itself away by Sound lol.

No "counterplay". What about Vigilant?

Like alrdy mentioned it competes with better consumeables and also loads of peeps respecc for Vigliant, because of the annoyin bear trap spam making it even less likely to surprise anyone. The emitting sound is just the cherry on top.

Personally, I wouldnt count perk as counterplay, since perks are there to help you and not to resolve the problem just by the fact of having the perk.

You could use Vigilant and see all the traps there, but even without this perk you could evade them just by being careful and watching your steps (except for some bullshittey when beartraps are hidden by textures, but thats, I believe, is unintended by crytek). And if this dynamite-trap wouldnt make any sound you will be dead just by opening the door or entering it.

Now you are just playin semantics. You said without sound there would be no counterplay i.e. a way to deal with it. There is one its called Vigilant. You can see the satchel from a safe distance.

Vigilant is not only good for traps in low visibility situations (grass, water, textures hiding them), but it saves you time by not having to jump check for traps before vaulting and can even warn you about a possible ambush. All those benefits for a single point.

[ClownyBoo]

it was only good when you abused the bug that if you placed it and no one was near you when they would run up it didnt have audio. now its the loudest most useless waste of a slot in the entire game

[HakkaH]

I already kill a entire team with this, when you are alone and 3 guys are chasing you its really nice is this situation
