Gas effect and delievery

If these where the different types like Tear Gas, Mustard, Chlorine or Smoke.

What would you want as an effect?
Should they be selectable as weapon type Mortar, Grenade or Artillery, or should the be selectable as a weapon option.(ie press V to select)

For me I would want the gas to last for about 20s

Gas Mask as a pre-prevention should be 100%. so putting on before you enter the cloud.

If you get effected and then put it on immediately after then the effect last for about 15s. The long you stay exposed the longer the effect so for the full 20s you get 1 minute of effect.

No of the gas can be seen into or form.
Tear Gas - White cloud, blurred vision, increase sway
Mustard - Yellow cloud , slow health decrease, increase sway
Chlorine - Yellow Green cloud, slow health decrease, blurred vision
Smoke - Grey cloud,

Yes, there is others but some are colourless and odourless which is not a great for games.

I would not have these as hand Grenades types, if we have Rifle Grenades then yes as selectable weapon attachment types. Reason you would only have a few you would have to stop to mount and you could only use your primary weapon to launch the grenade first.

I am not sure on Mortar as it would create a lot of different gas being used at once, the option to have Smoke, Tear or explosive I think is enough as a selectable option(press “V”)

As for Artillery having the option to delivery Smoke, Tear, Mustard, Chlorine and explosive I think would be the better way to do it.

Interesting. I never thought about it having secondary affects. I just assumed you would start dying if you were in it and that was all.

uhm i think you need a rethink on the chlorine and mustard gasses. Those gasses are not as you prescribe them to be :smiley:

Please watch these videos! Its an eye opener on what those gasses do!

Me or him?

Lol, in general… if you want to watch watch it if you don’t, you don’t ? :smiley:

Hey, it’s Indy! I feel the forum should have a perma-link to his channel at the top. He makes such great stuff, and if a few Battlefielders go get educated through it it’s a win win.

i learned so much from that guy and his channel!

So as a game aspect what do you want them to do? As it looks like Chlorine was used in the trailer.

the yellow gas in the trailer was Mustard gas. In the game i would say they both disable, fall to the ground but not get killed just disable cause that was the main reason of the gasses. to disable and not kill. so a medic comes around and needs to revive you and poke you with a syringe !

That seem overly excessive.
