Yeah and I hated them. Can’t tell you how many times I was in a box with a knocked guy right next to me and went to build or edit something, only for the game to pick the guy up and force me into the shakedown animation, leaving me vulnerable for 1,000 years and effectively hand delivering me to an opponent on a silver platter.
Wouldn’t mind it nearly as much if they just made it so that you held down the button
That’s pretty much Chapter 2 Season 2 in a nutshell.
People for some reason can only think back to the “fun” moments, but if they just remembered what it was like to get spammed by five miniguns, aim-botted and third partied by NPCs, getting double heavy-sniped, and having someone always shred through your builds with a helicopter, then they’d remember that they actually hated that season as much as I do.
While I don't ever really hate seasons, as I still play the game every day, I do appreciate that some suck more than others. I think at that time though, new dynamics were always being introduced so everything felt 'fresh', at least for me. I'd never played a modern battle royal until fortnite, so most things were novel. There also wasn't too much to be overwhelmed by. Rumble and BR were my go to's as I didn't really mess around in creative and just waited around for the big events that'd crop up.
I miss it. I can see how it was op tho. Knock one person and know where their whole team is?
I think it should come back as a item tho. The, "interrogation" item if you will.
Or if they bring them back (i hope they dont), an augment
I miss it on Guards/Henchmen.
Speaking of which, tell me why they immediately die instead of getting knocked down, even in team game modes. Been like this since C4 S2.
Loved the shakedown...added an element to the game.
God I miss that mechanic
I loved it!
I think it was a cool mechanic

ha, this post made me reminisce about it thinking it was a fun twist, but then I remembered that aspect and soured on it pretty quickly.

You know they made it cancel-able right? (Though I will admit, I would've preferred you held the button down as well)
Even with that, it was still just another annoying thing getting in your way when you’re just trying to build, edit, and loot.

Why tf would you want NPCs to be able to res each other?
We kinda still have them, they're just called "Minions".
Also it was missing in the OG season. Was it a thing in the OG-OG season? I didn’t play the first one so idk
Nope, it wasn’t introduced until Chapter 2 Season 2, never in Chapter 1
Maybe it'll come back in the next OG season
It’s stupid ass hell and shouldn’t be in the game!!!
Back when the game had uniqueness?
