How the sabuteur ACTUALLY plays: ( Footage )

Mess Room

so, not many people could acess the sabuteur. even though one may argue that the whole point of the test server, was to test the class it self or partially.

but we couldn’t.

so, thanks to the editor and thanks to @Gamer_Victorch we do have actual footage of how they work;

this post functions to give a better idea of what this class actually does and what it can do. And more so for the console folks who, even if wanted to, couldn’t test them.

and give more details than the actual dedicated devblog to it.

P.s Yes. it’s against bots. and quite possibly is using god mod for the proof of concept.
cause custom games don’t often work in the callisto test server.
but it’s a better rappresentation of the class it self and how it functions.

Note:

  • you start with your own weapons and uniforms
  • you basically steal uniforms and go around while the bots are mostly oblivious to your actions.
  • has a wider area like guerillas
  • it appears the more uniforms you steal, after 2 or 3, your character will start speaking the enemy language ( unsure if wanted or not. but it’s something that can happen apparently )

Ohhh, that’s so bad, especially at 1:14

Not only does the Japanese soldier change his appearance by stealing the Russian’s uniform, he also steals his language and suddenly speaks fluently Russian.
If the saboteur kept speaking his own language, at least one would have more chance of being alerted of his nearby presence (apart from the missing icon).

The very idea of a one man squad is so silly in a SQUAD based shooter, there is a reason lone fighter was a separate gamemode.

it really is.

but, i do think this class in of it self can be " great " as it’s own gamemode in mods.
for a break or so.

jump in as some sort of milsim tactical mission where you and your buddy have to infiltrate, take out objectives, liberate few areas and what not with only one or few lives available.

great PVE and coop potential imo.

but for the base game… eh… who … asked it?

It is so ridiculous that we need the help of modders in order to test the main mechanic of this major update. The devs really don’t want our feedback on this class

Is it just me, or is there a new bayonet animation being used here? Is this from an update or is it mod-related?

yes, it’s from the update.

they updated some of the animations:

It looks interesting when running, but when striking from a standing position, it looks as if the soldier doesn’t strike, but simply turns the bayonet 90 degrees and the zombie dies from cringe.

This animation still needs some work.

It’s some kind of reverse horror? An alien steals people’s identities and, starting with the third, begins speaking their language. Does this class have any abilities like monsters in Carrion or Prototype?

If I see one in my game, I will report them and leave the match, this class is a mistake and shouldn’t be added.

that is an understatement, enlisted needs to redo like 90% of the animations in this game

It will be enough for me if the bots start opening their mouths when talking. And so that new animations don’t become worse than the old ones.

Well, and so that the bots in the trucks look as natural as at least in the HLOF from 1999 .

I wonder, when you pick an enemy gun on the ground, does it come full ammo like for commandos?

It’s more useful for Saboteurs than commandos, imo.

19

as you can see in the video,

no. you do not grab full ammo.

It’s a strange class…

I wonder how enemy bots would react to grenade thrown by saboteur - ignore it or toss away?

Destroying rally points without losing disguise - working as intended?
