I was thinking this could be a cool idea if Promethean Watcher can catch enemy rocket and send it back. Or would it be too OP?
And I am not sure how this ability is supposedly designed for Flood. Any idea?
That would be too much of a perk to catch rockets,they already heal and catch grenades.
Good luck trying to dodge a thrown back rocket. That’d probably mean that they could throw back Scorpion rockets…
I think being able to catch rockets would be a bit too much.
On one hand, the prometheans seem advanced enough that the watcher could easily suspend/redirect a rocket.
But on the other, it seems like the watcher is too light, and Asuming Newtons third law is applied to the Watchers catching beam, it would be dragged away when trying to catch a rocket.

Used to throw back flood spores(The little round ones that come at you)?

One.
Campaign. Knight spawns a Watcher. Switch to Rocket Launcher. Aim at sky, fire. Watcher grabs rocket. Watcher flies into the sky since the Rocket has a lot of thrust behind it. Knight watches the Watcher fly away. I punch Knight in the face.

shells

Still if they could throw back rockets, what’s stopping them from throwing back Scorpion shots?

The force involved.
Dont give them ideas! are you TRYING to get us all killed?!
I wonder about Sticky Detonator shots too…
I really wonder the limit of the ability.
Beside gameplay mechanic, do you think cannonwise, Watcher can hurl back rocket?
Or maybe, there is a bigger version?
Man that would be crazy, since AI marines shoot rockets pretty quickly they could kill everything…
Why are you even shooting a rocket at a watcher for in the first place…rockets are made for direct impact only on vehicles. On infantry, it’s a splash attack…
Well you see, they would only catch them if they are going RIGHT for a Promethean Knight. If the rocket is flying at the ground next to them, at some Crawlers, or something, then they wont catch them. Only if it’s going to directly hit the Knight.
What do you think about that?
