We need a cart escort mission DT style

We need the mining cart escort mission from VT2 reskinned for DT. Just say the Valkyrie carrying the super special secret Moebian steel crashed so the Rejects have to go find it in the underhive and escort a servitor carrying it to a new pick up point.

And yes, I just want to see people get lost and left behind in the dark again. Maybe Swagger can do some heroic sacrifice down there so we can forget about him forever.

Would be good for a second map in the void sector.

A derpy servitor could be the source of much comedy

That’s actually genius. I’m already laughing at it :laughing:

Much as I loved those in VT2, I can’t see it working half the time in a DT pug.

I would rather the team be forced into 2 parties for a short time than push anything cart related.

How do you feel about carrying a torch for half the map?

I prefer a gnome.

Tank escort! And it goes ballistic at the end. Something cinematic and awesome :metal:

Always thought escorting a damaged steam tank would have been cool.

I’ll take a Leman Russ. Or even a Chimera.

Ikr?! Can you imagine a random team focusing on a single objective that long? Impossible!

I mean… I basically refuse to play Clandestium Gloriana with Randoms at this point because no one else seems to know how to keep an eye on the Synchronistors.

Clandestium Gloriana Randoms be like:
• Keep an eye on the Synchronistors. :negative_squared_cross_mark:
• Run away and die in an awkward spot. :white_check_mark:

LOL those vids that people post where they run to the left side (as you face exit) spawn spot, only to get crossfired between that stuff and the specials dropping from the med station behind them, :cook: :kiss: . Didn’t @Zoralink or someone post something like that recently? Tucker & Dale vs Evil wood chipper moments x3. You can feel their pain in the video.
I can only imagine a cart escort where basically 1-2 ppl are PTFOing and the other 2-3 are chasing a lone trapper to Narnya.
Also I somewhat selfishly think a mechanic that can’t be duo’ed or even solo’ed is a bad idea.

Anything that requires too much teamwork is begging for hair pulling in this game, thank baby Emprah they dumbed down train some.
Refinement: make the cart something you can strap the perma-smyker and kickback-only ogryn to.

Escort quest usually work in 2 categories:

  • VIP escort
  • Payload escort

With the difference being that the VIP can die or be destroyed (and thus fail the mission).

I don’t think that VIP would be welcomed, but having a Payload would be possible.

So not something like a Servitor (though some are heavily plated, they’re still light and not invulnerable), but rather seeing us escort a Leman Russ Demolisher, where we’re meant to open gates and clear the way for it to move forward, while the Scab and Dreg are trying to isolate it to smoke out the crew and then steal it.

Thorneside would be best I think for this, as there are gates and roads, could even have us escort the Leman Russ to an overview where it’ll be able to shoot on an unexpecting Dreg ritual. Then we escort it back (This being used later on to create an opening to be able to access the ritual site)

Yeah I love the idea of escorting a servitor NGL.

Perhaps an imperial spy has uploaded some critical data to the servitor or something.

Having the servitor talking away and commenting on stuff whilst battles rage on would be hilarious
