There should be a button inside the Mech to initiate self-Destruct once only per match/game. This can be used as a Kamikazi tactic when your armor is low, there is no time to run/hide to do a repair , you are caught in a battle- out gunned, out classed and are about to die, you can self-destruct  and take down a mech or do a assist whichever comes first.

The reason for having the option to self-destruct only ONCE per game is to prevent this from being abused and exploited.  Just to add a little more fun in the match cause u never know who is going to self-destruct.

I was wondering what if all the teams or a few say 2 / 3 mechs intiated the self-destruct …major explosion and damage radius that could probably take out a few enemy mechs caught in the blast.

But the question arises is it going to be a countdown timer say 10 secs to self-destruct or instant explosion …

Comments please

No... just... no.

When your low on HP and playing any mech with TOW just boost straight forward and treat your TOW like a flak. 60% of the time, it works all the time.

Thanks Husky, never thought of that !!!

Lol, think something has been mentioned about kamikaze mechs ... but nah. I tend to 'accidentally' shoot myself with hellfires

Just aim down if you're that desperate

No, this really isn't a great idea at all. Allows for cheap kills for the most part.

It's like whatever perk lets you drop a grenade on death in CoD games.

No, because that's not how binds work in Unreal Engine.

The correct command would be SetBind LeftMouseButton Suicide.

What does this mean_
Is this another joke thread like your "Xmas gift mech" thread_

If so, please stop cluttering up the suggestion forums with threads that aren't even intended to be serious.

I suggested self-destruction one year ago. Actually I dont think this feature could add much value to the gameplay. But in case the devs want to put it in the game then I'd suggest a count-down of, at least, 3 seconds.

I find this to be more accurate.

[DarkPulse]

You know, I'd like to see a reference to ED-209 in the future.

Or at least name some parts "Murphy" or something. (They may already have, for all I know. I haven't exactly looked. )

[The_Silencer]

Maybe as bots for training_

This idea is bad and you should feel bad

[DESMO]

I can see why someone might want a self-destruct capability, but if you put any reasonable sort of timer on it be it 3 or 10 seconds your chance to use it effectively in combat is very slim.  Let's say you get your mech into optimal position to damage 4 enemy mechs with your suicide blast.  With that much focus fire, your mech will be destroyed before the timer finishes.   You could argue that it could be more effective in team play, but if your team is playing well together, wouldn't you rather fight_  If you remove the timer than it becomes a no-skill "i win" button - which no competitive player wants.

However, the c-class death explosion is pretty awesome, and I wouldn't be opposed to that having a knockback radius and maybe a wee bit o' damage.

[DarkPulse]

IIRC, all mech explosions already do a small amount of damage in their blast radius.
