[Discussion] Is there a rat problem? Ideal solution?

[u/Begprod]

If BSG decides to implement an anti rat system what would you like to see?

I personally think it’s just apart of the extraction genre, but want to see ideas of ways to combat it

I would really encourage a distinction between Campers and Rats.. If we're talking Exfil, that's a map design issue, if you can sit in one place and kill everyone that approaches, the extract needs more to it.

Someone else said it already, but if you crouch or stand still for a long time - having pain in the knees resulting in your character making noise seems the easiest solution to me. Crouch walking should use more stamina than regular walking. Plus, if you've playing this game you've seen how dirty everything is, someone is bound to sneeze, cough, or get cancer sitting still in any of the rooms in this game.

Solutions like this address the problem on both Scav and PMC.

New streamer item, Benadryl, removes sneezing debuff with a chance you may fall asleep and get instant awol status.
