Overall Balance Update to Mutant Escape & Map

Abel95

Hi everyone,

Recently, Mutant Escape mode along with a new map for that specific mode was added. While the mode is super fun, myself and others feel like a few changes is needed to be made to make it more balanced for both Mutants and especially for Soldiers.

Improvements such as disabling flash & smoke grenades and reducing the time you have to wait at the last change.

While another version did get a balance update to this mode and map, I wanted to suggest it to be implement here aswell as I think it would benefit the overall gameplay.

Thanks for reading, please share your thoughts on this.

+1 for all. I hate that they can use flash and the time make's it almost impossible to survive. But it's a good mode, much more exciting to play then for ex. Sheep or regular parkour, that should be disabled and forgotten forever.

I'm loving the mode too. +1 for all of the above suggestions, I'd like to see more balance.

I don't mind Flash/Smoke at all, maybe add the function to disable or enable Flash/Smoke like in TDMs. Other than that, it's +1 for balance.

My complaint is that mutant shortcuts open too soon.

The new mode is extremly fun but flashing is kinda annoying

There should definitely be some balancing added. It's also quite pay to win at the moment (e.g. special mutant char and vips are super OP). But I guess that's just CF being CF. If special mutant char are disabled (just slug allowed), I'm pretty sure it will become a lot easier for soldiers to win.

Disabling flash would be a great change. For smoke, the only problem I have is FPS drops.

They could also change it so that the time to wait depends on the mutants to soldiers ratio. Since this ratio always increases as time goes on, it can becomes increasingly hard for the soldiers. Although I've played in some games where the ratio didn't change by much and the 100 seconds for the last stage didn't feel like enough. But this might have the downside of causing players to be selfish (since the more humans that get mutated, the shorter the wait time).
