You get to do this if you’re downed. I think that’s enough.

A perk that upgrades that basic ability to drop grenades that allows you to fire a pistol when downed?

That’s already a thing. If you’re downed, you can press “5” to drop the grenade you’re carrying

I like this idea a lot, pistols are pretty useless as is and it would be funny - for balance purposes it’d probably be a good idea to make it cost enough it can’t be combined with vitality though

That’s a thing. It’s called L1 when downed

It be cool if you could pull a pistol out when you’re downed, but that might also be a bit annoying on the other side of it.

No it’d be great, it’d prevent more squad wipes.

Would that be to take your soldier’s life?

Cause otherwise if you could draw a pistol while downed that kind of defeats the purpose of having a soldier be wounded/downed since they could still shoot back.

Plus the idea is you’re wounded. Naturally how serious the wound is will depend, and how much pain an individual can stand, but usually when youve been shot, youve been shot. Youre in a lot of pain and trying to stop the bleeding. Doing a John Wick at that point just isnt going to happen.

Vitality wouldn’t really affect this. But the “higher chance to get downed instead of dying” would.

It’s essentially already in the game since you can drop your grenades when you’re downed, so it doesn’t need a separate perk for it

Martyrdom in CoD dropped a grenade after the player was killed. So I assume OP means when you’re killed, not just downed. In this game, might get interesting when you’re killed in the middle of your squad :rofl:

Separately, it would be cool if you could draw your pistol when downed. Also similar to CoD.

While we’re at it, let’s dual wield and implement crouch sliding everywhere. ACOGs on Thompsons. WOOO.

what if I don’t get the “last stand” thing? then said perk would be useful

yes, after you died not during the last stand thing

Personally, I don’t like this idea of dropping grenades or pulling out a pistol to shot back when you’re downed. Like others have stated your downed and bleeding out, what are you going to do more times than not? You’re going to try and save yourself by stopping the blood from leaving your body. And yes, it’s a video game but if your dead you can’t drop a live grenade unless you’ve already pulled the pin before getting killed.

Also, think about the other side of the equation really quick. How mad would you be if you just rounded a corner and shot up a squad with an SMG killed maybe three or four and downed the rest. Now you’ve got some shooting back at you with their pistols and the others are dropping grenades at their feet while one is trying to bandage their wounds to have the squad survive. That to me sounds like a very annoying situation to have to deal with while you’re trying to push past them to an objective that if you capture you either prolong the battle or win the match.

Agreed on the death grenade. Martyrdom was one of the most annoying perks in CoD. Definitely would not be close to appropriate for what Enlisted is going for. Go play CoD for that BS haha.

The pistol when downed though… I kind of like that. Let the death timer tick like normal. That way you have to opportunity to defend yourself quickly and then bandage. If you don’t get to the bandage quick enough and die, that’s the consequence.

I would cause squad wipes more often than not. If you have 6 squad members near you. Say one gets killed by a rifleman, drops a grenade. Wipes every NPC out because they don’t run fast enough.
