Jammer?

Cant wait for these to be spammed everywhere and ruin a core selling point of bbr (the voip)

Removing map is fine, but everything else seems too advantageous, like a mini UAV for mines… making them pointless.. and removing voip in the funny voip game would mean most community servers outright ban this gadget. Maybe some other downsides could be applied instead (remove crosshair when ADSing?) but these current ones (especially given the radius) would kill a lot of gameplay tactics and ruin voip interactions entirely.

[harsh hornet]

Jammer turns off all the new overhaul indicators (drone, c4, grenades etc.) and existing ones for friendly gadgets, as well as hitmarkers and the map

Turning off voip is stupid

[barren token]

turning off hitmarkers would be huge when clearing out blobs.

maybe give it Mute's treatment too for spotted markers?

[harsh hornet]

That could work too

Simply removing markers and such should be balanced enough

I wouldnt want it to disable vehicle equipment or stuff like drones and antinades tho

Just remove the indicators and it should be fine

Just something to make you pay more attention to your surroundings

[jovial sable]

but why would you use it just for that?

[harsh hornet]

I mean, having information on screen is important, especially when half of the shit in game is getting an indicator next updoot

Hell, we are getting enemy healthbars, nade indicators, C4 indicators, drone indicators and so on and so forth

Enemies not having any of that info while your team does is an advantage, especially if you cant use the map

Its just something to make the enemy less aware of your actions

[barren token]

jamming drone and c4 are like the only two I can see that could be blocked with a jammer besides the markers. but removal of info if you are in radius is actually pretty good already

[cunning wasp]

C4 and drone are already getting their respective strengths nerfed, I think just indicator/map/hitmarker (and hell with it, crosshair when ADSing) being removed would be fine

Reduce the radius though or have it the effects diminish the further away you are from it, of course. 25-50m is quite generous for BBR standards on some maps (hi namak and frugis + some 32 layouts)

Probably dimishing effects the further away you are from it works, with disabled hitmarkers being persistent throughout the whole radius?

You go from not being able to see indicators/hitmarkers/etc at all to just barely visible, maybe? Something like that?

[barren token]

c4 indicators aren't gonna help much beyond seeing traps.

unless they are really fucking obvious

25 meters I think should be the max.

also, they fixing the trophy through walls thing?

I think it would be fine on drones and c4 to block the signal, a la Mute within 10 meters maybe, with everything else out to 20-25.

a trophy for the remotes as it were

[weak meteor]

This is actually cool

Blocking radio, maps, all UI until a certain range

Any electronic related device

[harsh hornet]

We have only really seen the placeholder for it, so who knows

Drones could be disabled i suppose if they get REALLY close to the Jammer

Otherwise they will get a blurries or glitched picture or something

As for C4, i guess it could not allow C4 to detonate while it is active

But again, if its like painfully close to the jammer

As for how the jammer would actually work as a physical object, ig it could be a placeable item

[stone stream]

Buildable class unique object

[harsh hornet]

They could kinda work like ECMs in Payday 2

[stone stream]

Leverage 👏 the 👏 build 👏 system 👏

[harsh hornet]

Only when you active them they will work for a period of time

That way you dont just get a antinade but against drones and shit

[harsh hornet]

This could work too

[harsh hornet]

Also, yes they will fix that

[barren token]

yeah both within 10 meters (5 meter radius) or something like that, maybe further out it messes with your camera but nothing else.

[jovial sable]

So like r6 does it?

[barren token]

Yeah, like Mute, at least for gadgets

I like the 20 meter radius for spots and hitmarkers tho

[ashen elm]

I would be fine if this just jammed drones and trophy systems nearby

[barren token]

Jamming trophy systems? Why would that be a thing?

[harsh hornet]

Oh lord no dont jam the trophies

[cunning wasp]

Nah, trophies are only “overperforming” due to them not despawning on the death of the person who placed them. Just fix the bug, no need for jammer to disable them (aka bandage solution for fixing a bug)

[harsh hornet]

Stuff like MDX and trophies should not despawn imo
But id be fine if explosives it cant destroy them

Its a sensible solution because it would be pretty bs if your teammate placed one and the next second its gone because he despawned

Its fine for some things, but not all

If sandbags that you placed for your team or landmines disappeared because you despawned, it would be pretty shitty no?

[barren token]

its less that they don't disappear and more that currently they work through walls and behind buildables. meaning they are not exposed and are nearly impossible to deal with while they are 100% effective.
