New Kubrow Mod: Fetch

[Elvang]

I propose taking the existing behaviour of feral kubrows that grab drops in their mouth and eat them, and transfer it over to our Kubrows as a mod with a bit of tweaking. Ideally, a kubrow equipped with Fetch would 'fetch' a nearby usable (as in, health if we're not at max health) orb/item in its mouth, and carry it back to drop it on us. Each rank would affect the effective radius it searches for orbs when it uses the ability.

This should be a default sahasa trait.

One at a time? That would take too long. It should just cram them all into its cheek pouch and then spit them all back out at your feet.

It'd most likely have to be limited to energy/health orbs only, instead of the feral's graball behaviour.

A balanced mod with some similarities to Vacuum is an idea that has probably occurred to most players.

Thanks for posting a sensible one.

 

Throwing this out there, make the mod at higher ranks behave more 'intelligently', with the kubrow prioritising needs more accurately at higher ranks.

 

Could also add a minor buff (since limited to one item at a time) making the item restore 75%/100/%/125%/150%/175%/200% what it normally would upon player pickup. (Assuming 6-rank mod)

Here's my proposal:

 

Carrier's current Vacuum mod becomes available to all sentinels, with this Fetch mod added to Kubrows, and Carrier gets a mod to replace the previous Vacuum mod it had called Munitions Drop: which will occasionally cause the player to receive double the normal ammo pickup when they acquire it.

idk if kubrow AI is rdy for that , they seem to wonder weither to attack or use their 1st or second skill , or open a locker   alot of the time

    After thinking about it some more, the kubrow could eat the orbs like the ferals currently do and transfer a % (likely based on rank) so they aren't running back and forth. Additional healing/energy gain for the kubrow, and even less infringement on Carrier's schtick since this would be a class-less mod.
