Would a playeable Bestigor work for this mode?

So I have been thinking for a while, “Versus is such a fun gamemode, but I feel there’s something missing for the rats”…

So after thoughts and thoughts, I realized we’re lacking a Rush in disruptor

With the current categorization (that I pulled out of my a-), we have:

  • 2 Disablers (Packmaster and Assassin)
  • 2 Long Range Support / Damage (Ratling and Globadier)
  • 1 Disruptor (Flamerat)

So I was thinking, I think it would be cool if we could have a Disruptor that targeted 1 player, and this is where the idea of the Bestigor being playeable came in my mind

So the Bestigor would be similar to either L4D2 Charger or Darktide Mutant

How would he play?

Starting with the following data:

  • 60 HP, Infantry armor type (So he can’t be 1 shotted by handgun, and still have some HP to tank something like a fireball left click or BoP)
  • He would make no noise when spawning
  • He would start a charge just like a normal bestigor, doing the animation first on startup (feet stomping) + their distinctive noise, and then the player would be able to control the direction
  • During charge, Bestigor becomes completely immune to stagger
  • Charge can be cancelled with R/M2 key (depends on what fatshark would think it’s ideal)
  • After the charge is over, there’s a 6s cooldown to charge again, and during that time the Bestigor would win a speed boost
  • Hitting a Hero with the charge, would deal instant 30 damage (even if they’re blocking) and would send them flying (Exactly like a Heavy attack from a Troll)

His role would basically be a semi-tank that can go in for inmediate damage, and is useful to push players away from their team or into dangerous areas (Instakills as well! That sounds very fun!)

(Of course adding this as playeable would mean removing the Bestigor NPC from spawning on versus)

What do you all think of this idea?

Im not a vs player at all, but im just interested: how would bestigor deal with dodge ? Its really easy to see him running, especially if hé is running towards you while staggering every single enemy nearby, and then just dodge him. Also helmgart maps such as screaming Bell and righteous stand dont have bestigors on them… not sure its a problem xD

Well you can’t Dodge packmaster in versus so I suppose the same logic would apply here
