I care. I like this setting and story and want to see how it develops. Although I would like to see these types of events and many others take place IN THE GAME.
This is awesome, i love every lore drop we get for Entrenched, oh what i wouldnt do for a spin off in this universe, keep up the awesome writing!
The option for gummytubes is worrying, considering it’s iffy on whether or not it would work, while Nocturne Goggles will do what they say for sure.
It’s obviously going to be the gummytube filter. Even if you use the nocturne goggles, they won’t do much against the mist.
Yeah, with animated cutscenes and everything.
They might be iffy, but with the goggles you’ll suffocate anyway. Seeing stuff doesn’t mean crap if you’ll inhale poison gas.
The amount of people who think special goggles will help with poison gas baffles me
Neither can be equipped on the Sky Marshall helmet in game. I’d like to see both of those become cross equipped on all Eaglestrike helmets
The story specifies the filter will only maybe minimize the gas’ danger. I’m assuming the goggles option is more of a “it’ll help him see to complete his objective and get out as fast as possible, hopefully minimizing his exposure” solution.
The obvious choice is to use the (Snicker) GummyTube filter. reading through the story, I honestly don’t know why he would even consider the googles. If your being gassed, you put on a gas mask. That simple. The (seriously, who thought of that name???) GummyTube filter is literally the only logical choice.
Gummybears obviously
Hopefully this stuff can come with forge. In game cutscenes and themed maps would be great.
I think it’s implied he’s taking their helmets. Like one is wearing M199X (ODST) and the other might be wearing the CQB one?
The Entrenched universe is based off of World War 1 and Diesel Punk.
In real life militaries often give simplified names to equipment and roles. For example the American infantry was called Dough Boys.
Gas masks of the time often used rubber hoses to attach to a filter, unlike modern ones that attach to the mask itself or are internal.
With that sensibility in mind, calling the rubber-hose helmet add-on a gummy-tube fits in context. Same reason one of the chest pieces is literally called a dog harness.
I mean. A Gummy Tub filter is better than what soldiers used against Chlorine gas in the second battle of Ypre 1915. But I don’t think that would have gone over so well.
Brodie helmet. That’s the one I have equipped and it comes with the gummytube filter attachment.
Yes, I know that it makes sense for there to be simplified or slang versions of a piece of equipments name, but from the way it’s described in the story it sounds like he’s giving the equipment their full-and-proper title, and not using nicknames. I could be wrong though, maybe your right and he’s just using the layman’s term for it. In the long run, it doesn’t really matter anyway.
Considering the environment is apparently dark, the goggles would probably help him move out faster, navigate out quicky. The filter would, at best, minimize damage from the nanocloud, but not get away unscathed if he breathes it in.
No telling where else the mist is being deployed however. I’d go with the gummytube.
Gummytube Filter, what’s the point of the goggles if the chemical agent gets into the air filtration suit? Having to avoid and go around the nanocloud means spending more time getting to the ship, and Kolby already wasted enough time dealing with the scientist as is and costing the lives of his squadmates.
