Are sirens supposed to pull you closer?

[Beach]

I've noticed that when sirens scream while they're near you, you slowly move closer to them by small teleports. Is this intentional? I really don't like this as it can really throw me off when my aim

 

[nejcooo]

Yes. It's one of many new mehanics to make game harder and some zeds more scary

 

[Yoshiro]

They pulled you in KF 1 as well. It isn't a new mechanic.

I guess it wasn't as intense in the first game. Thanks for the confirmation.

While you are here, do you have any idea about the next patch? the beta is going to end soon

 

[kliziflip15]

That seems to be their main job now...at least they dont do as much damage with their screams...they were the biggest threat in KF1...now they are only really a utility zeds, as in those that help other zeds own you or pop your grenades...

honestly popping grenades is strong enough as it is...could mean you waste tons of nades trying to kill FP (and forces you to focus sirens first)....in 1st game the damage was insane

 

[Yoshiro]

We are working on a few things. They may or may not be released in the current stress test.

Honestly in its current state it is awful. Seems more like lag or rubberbanding.

 

[undeadkyle134]

Yeah agreed, feels more like an annoying bug at the moment.

 

[C_Gibby]

Yup, it feels like I'm being warped around by a giant lagspike instead of just walking badly.

 

[nejcooo]

That's the goal. To confuse you, and kill you.

 

[kingjak]

yeah but it may be excessive right now, need to be tuned

also thanks for the quick answer Yoshiro

 

[Jovial]

Yeah, the pull is not smooth, it makes the sirens appear to be stutter rubberbanding forward.

 

[FishsticksII]

Yes. It just feels a bit odd. I'm used to it now but it still seems like it should be a smoother pull perhaps.

 

[Panty]

I actually really love the pull, it makes things harder :c but I saw it's been removed in the patch notes.

Hmm, I think maybe it'd be cool to just remove it from normal but higher difficulties have the pull? Idk.

 

[Kyoku]

I'll just ask in this thread: Why does Hans' nerve gas tear through armor? Makes no sense.

 

[Paronine]

It's not so much nerve gas as it is corrosive gas.

Oh come on yoshiro first you tell me that it's intentional and then you post patch notes on steam saying it's gone now. Is it going to be temporary?

[mrsirr]

It was intentional. Then they intentionally removed it.

Does he say nerve gas? It certainly seems to me more like sulfur mustard.
Seems like if it were nerve gas you'd just run through it and keep fighting then collapse and die later. But I dunno much about modern nerve agent.
