The Usefulness Of The Hostages

[S2Weak]

Sorry,I really don't know what can they do now.

 

 

 

Why the Tenno save them?

Why the Lotus need them?

Did they do anything can help TENNO or Lotus?

 

Okay,here is a example:

All hostages got a pistol.

And when they face the enemies,they will RUSH TO THE ENEMIES' FACE then do nothing.

 

Here are 5 good reasons for this:

1.They are wearing a big lotus helmet so they actually can not see anything.

2.They always half squat.

3.They have not ammo.

4.The pistol has been used since Orokin Age,or before then.

5.The DEVs

So it's inconsiderate to ask the hostages to self-defense. cause of the last reason

 

 

----------------------------------------------THERE ARE SOME THINGS THEY CAN DO-----------------------------------------------------

 

1.Hacking.

2.Open the lockers.

3.Call the elevator.

4.Bring the data terminal.

5.Find the health balls for themselves.

 

Above are basic.The SPECIAL HOSTAGES could have the SPECIAL ABILITIES.

 

Hostage type 1:Spy, Traitor

They have high speed and good at sneak.

They can hack faster and find useful supplies.

They can lock the doors in front of enemies to block the enemies' attack route.

Because of their daily life, they know the shortest way to extraction point.

 

 

Hostage type 2:Technician, Engineer

Their shield is bigger and regen faster.

They can deploy some devices can help the situation.(Like what?)

They have enemy/resource radar.

 

 

And those I haven't think yet...They should have different model to distinguish.

But I also know,it will need lots of time, funds and so on...And it may affect the game balance.

So this is a suggestion.

Hope I can see my idea in the game.

lol, wouldn't affect me, I usually free the prisoner, then dart to the end whether he follows or not. Also, why do the prisoners get sent to jail with a weapon? My friend suggested that they should get the player who freed them's secondary. I hardly ever see the prisoner use his weapon anyway.
