When you fight Hyena as a boss Lotus mentions packs of them... First off you only fight one at a time. Secondly in the original unpublished Dark Sector Hyena was an enemy that showed up and could be taken control of to fire upon allies (Use nyx for this) The Hyena would generally be the strongest heavy unit for the Corpus in the game. With up to maybe 2-4 showing up at a time, and sometimes one alone popping up at random as it patrol the hallways. Also would it be so hard for its back to open up revealing chain guns as it opens barrage fire on the Tenno?

But hyena is a robot, how could nyx take control? or do you mean just like her current abilities? 

Her current mind control, chaos ability controls machines, and organics... so she could chaos a hyena to clear out a room while everyone prepares to gang up on the hyenas... Or run from them, but then they would need incredible speed to run and keep up with you once they have been alerted of your presence... making running from them, and taking a chance of meeting more of them a not so wise decision... Also Hyenas on defense missions... Now that would give the Hardcore players something to do battle with... LOL

Well, that video link really made me see how much was re-used/revamped from Dark Sector.

I prefer to think of it as influenced by. 

 

Forgot to add this in: I support this idea, and you are right about the Lotus indicating this was such. I am looking forward to it.

Not even a boss fight with a pack of Hyenas... To be honest a pack of hyenas would be a harder boss fight... Or a Survival Boss fight where the Hyenas hunt for you, and sometimes one catches up to you, 2, 3, 4, and worst case scenario far more then that. In which it would be ideal to give Tenno the ability to activate lockdown, and Hyenas the ability to deactivate/Activate it when needed to catch up to you, or trap you in with them. They should be able to do it by remote as well but takes time. As in if enough of them come into a room with you at the same time they can lockdown the room forcing you to fight them all at once, or they can stand infront of a lock down door for a few seconds as they deactivate the lockdown.

 

Could even just put them into survival mode just like that and it wouldn't need to be a boss fight. As they said several sects were taken down by the Hyena packs. This could be hinting to a future survival mode. Hyena hunter Mode lol... That would be AWESOME... Actually would be more awesome if it happened at random in a any faction higher up level. Instead of stalker showing up. A pack of Hyenas spawn all over the map hunting for you, and if your not ready for them it would force you to hurry up and finish the level faster as they come for you in packs.

Well, then Hyena REALLY need a nerf if multiple of them spawn in a room, ready to hose you down with lead.

Like, lower its health, remove its missiles, lower the fire-rate of its MGs by a lot., and then remove the "Volt Shield", thus, making it (or "them") technically just a tinier Jackal, but lots in number.

Now, you might think that it will just break the challenge. Well, think about this.

Neptune isn't really an "end-game" system. Dedicated low-leveled players might reached Jackal's place, totally unprepared for multiple-boss fight.
I think if Jackal still got its stats and abilities, and then more than one of them spawn, in that one single room, spamming shockwaves and dealing tons of damage in one go, I think no one can survive.

Using clan weapon will make the fight easier, yes. But you do know not everyone has the access to clan weaponry.

Also, regarding Chaos, it won't work on bosses anymore since the latest update, so..yeah.

What does the room look like that a jackal is sitting around in?

Exactly how it looked? I can't remember, but it was a rounded square room with an inactive Jackal hanging on some hooks. You'll find it if you do some poking around in Ceres. Might as well make that an Orokin Cell farming run, too. :p

 

But yeah, it was pretty awesome when we first found that.

Like a dead end room, or is a through room... cause trust me... I can do some crazy wacky off the wall exploring in that place and still end up no where near a room like that lol...

well, hopefully they arent as annoying as the singular one now. I get shredded trying to fight one XD.

Well Lotus did say a pack of them has taking down sects. Plus it would be a perfectly challenging boss for Neptune... Having a pack of tactical Hyenas

They'll be eventually another type of Elite/Heavy set enemies being sent by the [Faction] (Not infested).

 

May come at you with 1 to 4 by chances. Am already annoyed enough with Fusion MOAs having a chance to deploy hardened Drones. </3

 

Still, great suggestion! +1

Whether they show up as a pack for a boss fight, or become the new elite units that show up and ruin your day I am all for it, I just want t a pack of these to come at me... maybe allow them to do a rhino rush as well or some kind  of pounce and stomp... which would make them interesting if they were leaping around like frogs stomping on the ground making it hell for at least 1, or 2 of the members on the squad...
