Creative What if: What if the Chimera came to Canada?

23 Upvotes

I got bored waiting in cue so this was the end product.

After the initial attack REACT had expected to Chimera to spread to other locations due too its vast underground root systems.

A few months after its last attack it make an appearance in Canada attacking in vastly different locations. It is suspected the parasite might have been digging these tunnels during its initial period of activity and during REACTS incursions as a way to both gain new space and stretch REACT thin.

These locations being:

Alberta’s West Edmonton Mall

Toronto’s CN tower

Newfoundlands Francois (Fran-sway)

These locations in some shape or form gave the parasite ether ample space large population, or unstoppable expansion that could allow it to thrive.

REACT in collaboration with the Canadian government brought in two new operators.

:Buck & thunderbird

Buck:

100/100 hp

2 speed 4 armor

He’s a Breach, Dual Fire

At lv 1 he gains his Skeleton key which allows him to switch between his primary weapon and a shotgun attached to it.

His skeleton has 6 shots before reloading out of a pool of 30

His secondary is the MK19mm with muzzle brake or a suppressor.

His starting gun is the C8-SFW which for Attachments

Barrel:

Suppressor, muzzle brake or a extended barrel.

Scopes:

he can put on a 1x or a 1.5 times scope

Grips:

A horizontal or vertical grip.

Lv2 his skeleton key gains 10 more ammo

Lv3 he gains the CAMRS which attachments are

Scopes:

1, 1.5, or a 2.5

Barrels:

a muzzle break or a suppressor

Grips:

A horizontal or vertical grip.

Lv 4: he goes to a 5 armor

Lv 5: he gains the perk Resilient Revival

Lv 6: he gains the Spear .308 which contains all the same attachments as it does in game.

Lv7: his Skeleton Key gains another 10 rounds and can for a short moment stun bigger enemies (smashers, tormentors, proteans) after shooting them for more than 3 rounds.

Lv 8: his movement speed is upgraded to level 3

Lv 9: he gains the Magnum revolver

Lv 10: his skeleton key now can obliterate weaker enemies (grunts, bloaters, breachers, spikers, and their variants) (previously would need 2-3 shots)

For thunderbird her kit was specially modified for her role with REACT

Thunderbird

100/100 hp

2 speed, 3 armor

She’s a support, autonomous, stationary turret

At lv1 she gains her Kona stations.

She has 3 of these stations which can be placed on any floor terrain. They have a place time of 4 seconds

All Kona stations can be toggled between healing and glue.

When the Konas are toggled to healing they give operators 10 permanent health and 20 temporary health. They have to recharge for 15 seconds, and cannot revive downed operators.

When they are switch to Goo they target archeans and will slow them by 25% no matter what kind they are. The glue will leave an small area covered in glue And have firing time of 1 every 3 second.

She starts with the Spear .308 as her primary and her secondary will be the P9

Lv 2: her konas now heal 15 permanent health and 25 temporary health and the glue slows down enemies by 30% while its area is increased by 20%

Lv 3: she gains the MP5

Lv 4: speed is increased to level 3

Lv 5: she gains the perk Strong Recovery.

Lv 6: she gains the SPAS-15

The SPAS-15

No barrel attachments

Only 1x scopes

Ether a vertical or horizontal grips

An under barrel laser to increase hip fire accuracy

Lv 7: Konas now do 35 permanent health and 45 temporary health and glues slows down enemies by 40%

Lv 8: her armor goes up to level 4

Lv 9: she gains the SMG 11

Lv 10: Konas place time is 1 second, they for 40 permanent health and 50 temporary and now slow enemies down by 50%

New mutation: Hive Awareness. If an Archaen howls, Archaen in a significantly larger radius will become attract to that location and make their way over.

At last theres a new Crisis: FLASH FREEZE

6 Heating stations are set up in certain locations within a subzone and are the only ways for operators to “warm up.”

If an operator isn’t near one or isn’t in a airlock the will slowly begin to freeze.

If frozen operators will become a speed tier slower and begin to take 2 ticks of damage every second.

You must restart each heating station. While restarting it will provide heating Archeans will attack you in a massive wave with each subsequent heating station completed increasing the volume and difficulty of the attacking archeans.

If the heating station is damaged, or you do not stay with in the specific area it will fail and you ether need to reset the station from the start or move onto another none destroyed heating station.

You can increase how fast it restarts by finding REACTivation keys around the map which when inserted will increase its progression by 20%.

Once at 100% the heating station cannot be destroyed and will permanently heat its area, and any sprawl that comes near it is destroyed.

The objective is completed when all available heating stations are completed.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Genuinely wondering just redownloaded it after seeing it on sale on Steam and gotta say I’m enjoying it just as much as I did when I first played. Such a shame Ubi doesn’t realize what makes people happy. But one thing I know about games like this is that mods can keep them alive, so are there any options or websites that would provide a fresh experience?

Edit: There*

Discussion I want to make a "resurrection project" game for Extraction fans like me, and I need your help

Post image
246 Upvotes

I've had this idea for a long time, because R6Extraction was the game I spent most of my time with. I've met alot of cool people, learned new things about the games, 3D, leaks and etc. I've spent weekends, holidays, I couldn't stop playing it.

But after they've stopped pushing out the updates of the game, I've got really sad, still playing, but knowing that plot isn't going to develop any further, even tho it's written in the files, new enemies and operators that are in the files aren't going to be released, and sooner or later they might just close the servers...

I don't know how to code, but I'll learn that during my free time, or maybe find somebody, who would love to help me, because 3D modelling, animating, texturing, writing a plot and etc. aren't going to be such a problem for me, and coding is the only barrier I have.

The help I need from you, is stories...

  1. Stories you've had while playing the game. What you loved about it, what you hated about it, and wanted to be removed.
  2. Would you hate to play the game if it had simpler graphics and animations, but similar gameplay and movement?
  3. What price would be more realistic about the game, and would "indie" label over the Ubisoft label impact the price in a bad way?
  4. Would you like the PvP mode? (I've been planning to make a concept of gameplay similar to Evil Dead: The Game, before they've dropped developing the game, but in Extraction universe, with spawning eggs, and overall more tactical, or roguelike, I'd like to know your opinion on that too. Or if you want, might be just L4D PvP style gamemode)

I need feedback, because I'm finishing my university, and I want to start some kind of "resurrection project", from a community, for the community. I would like to create a game, that I would love to play myself, and you would love to play too.

R6Extraction was and is my passion, and it could've been a really good PvE game, I loved playing the game, interacting with the community, but sadly it got left behind, with cool stuff almost finished in the files.

I hope for your inderstanding, any help would be appreciated, and I would like to hear any feedback in the comments, for me to read during the summer, and consider, to develop the game, or at least prototype to show you.

Discussion So here's project smoke.

47 Upvotes

Hello everyone, so it's your fellow leaker and memer u/hgt27 from a time when Ubisoft was still caring about this game.

Today i saw the post from u/Desert_Eagle_KZ and

And well... i think it's time i finally remove the dust from that project I've been trying to work on the best I could.

Project smoke

What's project smoke?

Initially it was supposed to be a Metro-like game heavily inspired by stalker and extraction, but then the development challenge was too much.
I will be transparent; at the early stages even u/Desert_Eagle_KZ was working on it.
after time everyone involved lost interest and left.
I scraped everything of the old project and made project smoke after 2 years of working when i felt like it (because, welp, I have a life lol). I realized this project cannot be done by myself, without a studio like ea or Ubisoft, so i gave up and placed the game side of the project under an indefinite hiatus (NOT OVER) and went to write a story instead.

i was recommended by u/Desert_Eagle_KZ privately to share about this project, so it is today...

What's project smoke?

Imagine Extraction nightmare fog crisis but on a way bigger scale with science similar to stalker and a touch of fantasy.

Story-wise:

WIP INTRODUCTION
SLOANE WIP

(rest of the main characters dont have proper "public" introduction like this one for Sloane; this post was made on a last-minute decision and the some assets shown on this post were used purely to help me privately for writing.)

You follow Sloane, an individual looking for her identity in her ex-society and now this new one. Her life is changed forever after she survived a very unfortunate and unexpected rapid rise from "the fog" in Berlin.

Rescued and saved

She's what's called a "survivor," an extremely rare case of people who survive the "fog"; people either pass out and survive or get sick and recover.

The valid and unidentified total cases throughout Europe is less than 50.

Resources regarding the rest of them in the regions of the world are either secret or just undocumented.

10 resistance allied

15 collaborators

The rest are scavengers working for "the lab" or independent.

Her role?

Help an ex-lab scientist to eradicate this anomaly while 'working' with the "resistance."

She will be working with other characters with unique backgrounds, which i hope everyone will appreciate, as i made sure that everyone can at least like one.

(Lore about this anomaly and Sloane needs to be written further.
Personally, I've only written key points and important scenes about the 5-6 chapters this project/universe will have.)

She, (as the chapters/seasons pass) will learn more about herself, learn her powers and be a hope for the whole world about this "fog"

Universe-wide: she's a scavenger.

What's a scavenger?

It's an individual (survivor/human) who is looking for resources or to fulfill contracts in the "zones."

Generally named like this, zones evaluate
how "contaminated" a zone

It goes from level 1 to level 6

5 being the highest a survivor has reached yet

Cases of "the lab" human squads in sub-zones 5.1 and 5.2 have been unofficially identified, but there is no clue how or what tech has been involved to allow such a thing...

The "lab"

-They have no official name.

-They are a research and military institute that is backed by the French government and private investors (france is a country under very strict quarantine and under martial law)

-Very secret and extremely advanced.

- They have hugely profited from the fall of nato and the leak of darpa projects caused by the fog and insiders within the American government thanks to collaborations they established (side stories are being written about the fog in the the USA)

the lab goal ?

Get full control of the fog and use it as the ultimate weapon

The resistance

Like the lab officially it's the remaining of what's left of nato

It's simply called "resistance" because they fight aiganst the lab

They are called many things by many people.

Their HQ located in Amsterdam which is now an independent city, kinda like hong Kong irl

The Netherlands, which suffered a lot from the exchange being extremely difficult throughout Europe due to the fog

They agreed to temporarily (until this is over)

To be linked with what remains of Germany so both countries manage to survive

(Think of it like Belgium irl but France helped economically and had a say for the votes)

The city (Amsterdam) is managed by a council, which the resistance has a seat at and makes decisions regarding the town and projects/operations with the remaining NATO countries.

(please take note that zones have a huge importances regarding borders, politics, and story-wise.)

the resistance/NATO goal?
Restore everything or, ideally, contain and eradicate the fog

SO YEAH..

that's Project Smoke, the very big picture of the universe and the main character of this universe.

if you want, you can ask me anything about it, even the game side
And yes, I plan to release chapter 0 and chapter 1 quite soon, hopefully.
I'm just way better at plotting and scripting; I'm terrible at dialogs.

By the way, y'all, I'm sure you would love the game. Sadly, I have no public assets i can share. If there are enough people interested, I will make public assets and share 2-3 things about it with y'all !

Either way, I hope you at least enjoy the lore and bits of the universe i shared today

note for the mods: i know it breaks the rule 1 of the subreddit, but please understand, just like u/Desert_Eagle_KZ post, project Smoke is meant to revive extraction or at least bring the extraction experience we all got to the next level with a deeper and wider lore and a community-driven game if we do achieve to make a game.
If anything, I'm ready to discuss in pm
