Pox hound kick mechanic

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. we need a kick mechanic for the hounds. I get sick and tired of not being able to kick the dogs off and having to wait for my team mates when I should be able to extricate myself. it’s not that damn hard, add teh mechanic with a 2-3 button push combo and the dog is off. Cold Iron did it for Aliens Fireteam Elite, I don’t see why y’all can’t do it for this game. It should have been a game mechanic from the get go.

disablers is the main reason that keeps your team together.
I can assure you, FS will not make that change you suggesting

Disablers are the ultimate skillcheck.

I find the ping correction they have implemented to screw me over more often than not :rofl:

I thought mutants were considered disablers also, aren’t they?

They are counted as such, but in practicality release you

Yeah but in game Mutant does the most damage, and is potentially the most disruptive carrying you away from teammates and then throwing you somewhere else. If you get caught by a mutant without toughness its basically down right there. On top of the danger the disablers already pose leaving you open to other damage, that split second where a mutant slams you once and the poxwalker next to him hits you at the same time claims like half your life bar. The other disablers are no where close, and can be staggered without 1 wonky Psyker staff that crumbles to pressure.

Mutant is without a doubt the coolest special. The other 2 just do very little damage and the hound is so nerfed despite never fixing the actual problem with it (the 2 second recovery animation is horrible for gameplay). This makes the little dog more threatening than the actual special and the worst mod by far.

it’s always fun…not, when it throws you over the edge, off the map…into a horde. the nurgle beast is great for that too

wrong. I love co op. and single hounds don’t bother me but when you’re doing the pox hound hunting ground runs with packs of 20 and get caught in open ground…it can be a game ENDER when you all get taken out and swarmed by a horde and killed.
