New game mode suggestion: Reclaim the Bridge

[(NSW)Shilvio]

I think it'd be neat to build a more tactical game mode that requires the use of parkour more and dynamic environmental awareness.

 

Title: Reclaim the bridge

Challenge to player: Turn on electrified rails + protect the switches from engineers

Environment: There are 2n+1 rails to turn on to reclaim the bridge. Enemies cover a 3n+2 tile long map in random rooms, there’s an on/off electricity switch and a connector switch.

Enemy levels: 30-50?

 

Gameplay:

Hack to enter hall, Alarms go off and enemies spawn in (like survival)

Kill enemies in the area, turn on power (hack)*.

When adjacent rooms are powered on turn on connector switch (hack)**.

Each time a power hack occurs, engineers spawn in (n = number of activated power switches x2) They head to the hacking station to turn power off.

Each time a switch hack occurs, engineers spawn in (n = number of activated connector switches x2) They head to the hacking stations to turn connector switches off.

 

Average time in mission: 6-7min? You’d have to playtest it.

Unique enemy requirements:

1)    Rubber booted enemies that don’t take damage from electrified water.

2)    Engineers – They may have to be a bit smarter (AI wise (e.g. avoid the path of rampaging tenno))

*When Power is turned on there is a new stage hazard. Metal beams like the rails in Semini become electrified + dangerous to tenno

** When connector is turned on, puddles on ground are electrified like we find in derelict and the Grineer Sealab. I’m tempted to suggest that enemies should be resistant to this damage. It’d be difficult to code paths for them to avoid.

The game needs more game modes, and this one sounds quite different and fun.

It's great to see all these switch players joining the community. You all seem to have really good ideas!
