TOPIC: [SSRP] - Timed C4 & Proximity Mine

Hey there,

Why is it Timed C4 & Proximity mines are single use only? I feel this wastes the item, nobody ever creates it due to the significant price for a one-time use. I think it would bring a whole new items to the game, if, Timed C4 & The Proximity mine, gave you two ammo. Allowing you to holster after using one.

Feedback?

Agreed. They should have multiple uses like SLAMs.

I think the Proximity Mine would be too strong if it could be used like slams. I support the Timed C4 idea.

Oh golly just don't make it like the unlimited C4 Glitch where you could place down infinite, just make it like the orbital. But for both, Single use, but allow you to holster it in the 60 Seconds or drop it in 30.

I agree with fennster here. It gives c4 the ability to be used once but only if you use it safely. It will make C4 actually worth the materials it is created with. I don't agree with the proximity mines though, slams are good enough for that.

BUMP
Can we get a CM or someone to post on here please?

Hey,
Well the thing with Timed C4 & Proximity mines is that they are used for fast, quick and pretty much deadly way of entering a base.They are very powerful and it would be complete chaos if everyone could get a hold of them quickly or cheaply. Maybe if you really wanted some kind of "reload" system you could maybe think of something you could create to act as ammunition that is like half the price but that would need to go in to the suggestions area also. I think they are good how they are as I have seen plenty of people use them and at the same time they are not as easy to get that people are RDM'ing with them in spawn.

I also have an alternative idea for C4's.

Crafting C4's gives you a set amount of them for you to use. You don't need to holster to get more ammo. Giving more C4's helps balance the one-time use and it's price to craft it.
Ex. Crafting C4's gives you 2 or 3 of them. You'd craft more as you needed them.
I've tried this in SP, you can have multiple C4's at once. Same goes for Prox mines.

I agree with Red on this one. The SSRP servers use M9K guns and the M9K C4 is deadly and can be used to suicide bomb. This would be overpowered for raiding but this is unchangeable and would take to long to design and code a custom C4. I personally don't think its worth it.

You can actually simply downscale the damage, but balancing it will be tricky. How much damage is enough damage?

Anyways on-topic,
I think if you want this you should watch out. Slams have that tricky unlimited slam exploid and I think that will occure aswell if you give the C4 and/or proximity mine the ammo abillity.

My idea:


The C4 & proxy would become part of a 'master' item which deploys them, and can then be holstered. The cooldown time will both prevent overuse and simulate the time it would take to get new ammo, etc.

I think that would work quite nicely.
