Theory on why infection/flood isn't out on launch

My theory is that it’s going to be included in a weapon update that includes the classic shotgun as the bulldog wouldn’t be suitable for it as it’s rof doesn’t fit for default settings of infection/flood

I agree, I’m sure there will be weapons brought in over time. They don’t even have FFA right now but I have to say I’m not sure how fun it would be based on my bot tests.

That’s your theory, but here’s the reality… this game isn’t near close to being finished. We know it, they know it. They were going to sell us an empty box last year and pray that we go belly up the same way we did with MCC. Any other theory is a veil to dilute ourselves with.

Bulldog kills shieldless in one shot. It also has longer range. It would work.

Yeah, nothing more fun than being infected and having an automatic shotgun pummel you into submission

Rampage slapping us with some cold hard facts lol

Real reason is probably just drip feed. I am almost 100% certain that Infection mode is done in Infinite, they simply haven’t released it yet.

It’s rate of fire would make it really unfun for infected

It can still be done with it. So it doesn’t need old shotgun to be released. It could be an official release Playlist.

Because it’s a F2P live service game now, Infection, FFA, Grifball, SWAT etc will all be released in seasons I assume, think of how many flood themed skins they’ll sell when infection season hits.

Rotating game modes and maps, this is how live service games are run nowadays, also means you can release your games half baked like this.

It’s because they have to drag out already made content as long as possible to delay future content while they work on new maps and battle passes, otherwise they can’t fill the gaps between updates, and I hate when devs do that

Not really no Again you would need a ton of infected at the start because of the rof of the bulldog and even than it would be extremely difficult and unfun for the infected

Not fun doesn’t mean I’d put it past them to put it in. You think quick play is fun right now? I’ve been wishing everyday to be able to choose when to play objective or slayer.

i don’t doubt it. it could lock behind a paywall.

since many are willing to pay for cosemtic item.

My guess is that it will be released in a future event, similar to how the Tenrai playlist was fiesta.

Can ANYBODY explain to me why the Bulldog isn’t good for Infection???

It’s rate of fire combined with its range and power will make it way too easy to kill groups of infected

The Repulsor an Grapple Hook might make it interesting though…

because its reload is much faster, so infected wouldn’t have as much leeway basically.

So y’all admit the bulldog is a better gun.

The single shell reload helps more in a pinch than the barrel reload.
