New implant idea


How about a rebreather implant so you can stay underwater for a substantial amount of time without drowning?

Thoughts

To what end? Why bother if it doesn't really add to gameplay?

Thats fine with me but I won't be picking up that useless implant.

Edit--Maybe it could be used for a cloaker trying to avoid detection and hides underwater for a substantial amount of time, that would work. Thoughts?

Whilst it'd be a lifesaver if you had to bail over water it doesn't really offer much else.

Maybe so, but it could be usefull if there was a squad that all had it they could effectively cross a lake together to flank a base. However, in comparison to other options i guess it wouldn't be very practical.

EDIT- it could be very usefull to some one carrying an LLU.

Amphibious assults? Takes away some of the Magmowers power. I mean, gal drop in the sea... no one is ever gonna think of that. Untill they do it like 5 times. It certainly would be a tactical implant. Useable on certain ops.

It might be cool. Aside from the coolness factor I would say it has limited use. You could use it with certain ops, but if I were to pick it, it would be my third choice.

It would be a wast of implant space, it would only be good if you need to get out of the water. They (i.e. planetside creators) should increase your running speed under water so you dont drown if you have to bail into it.

It was more to do with the tactical options it could add to the gameplay .

Example: to organise an underwater squad that could all go together instead of crossing the bridge and negate the futility of constantly getting fucked trying to cross an obvious pinchpoint.

Thanks for the thought some of you put into a new suggestion and typically bollocks to the non thinking smartarses. There are plenty of implants that I consider pretty fucking useless anyway.

Someone hit a nerve.

The reason I said it offers no advantage is because you're so bloody slow underwater. Like noodles said, it would just be impractical.

You'd also require the whole squad to have that implant.

A cloakers dream. Being able to run farther away from the bridges under water and surprise attacking them from behind.
