Allow a Legend to cut down zip lines

The always present zip lines don’t count. I would love for there to be some loot item or legend ability that cuts down a Pathfinder-thrown zip line.

You could cut your own defensively, cut an enemy’s while they are on it (and they would fall and receive some damage). It would help removing a team’s webs.

Maybe it’s a ballistic knife that drops in a supply package, you can throw it or use it to sever zip lines.

Or maybe this ability is given to one of the weaker Legends like Crypto, and maybe he does it by flying his drone over to a zip line.

  • Heard some talk of players wanting to be able to allow a legend to cut down pathfinder zip lines honestly it doesn’t seem like a bad idea here is a legend I have in mind for that. Here is my character proposal  Bloodhound for instance he’s a tracker and a knife wielding hunter. When  using his ultimate maybe add the option to be able to press square or X in which ever console you are playing on to be able to cut the zip line down while his ultimate is active?

    @JACKTH3R1PP3R97It should be for all legends, as simple as shooting the pole on either end of the zipline should do it... you can destroy octanes jumppads, wattsons pylon, crptos drone, etc so we should be able to destroy his ziplines by simply shooting at either end of it, it would be kinda funny to put a zip over lava and then snipe 1 end of the poles and watch the whole team fall XD

    honestly this is an awful idea though... and would be a major buff pathfinder dosnt need at all just imagine a team going up a zip and then shooting it so no other squads can reach them or better yet know they are even there, i think the zipline can’t be destroyed currently for this reason as it shows other teams your location, same as taking a risk with lifelines care packages it has benefits but at a price of showing everyone your location or atleast where you have been

  • @Professor_Doggy@ my character proposal for this topic would have to be bloodhound I mean think about it he’s a tracker and knife wielding hunter I think it’d be appropriate for this character to be able to cutdown the zip lines they could add the option to press square or X depending on the console the player are playing on while his ultimate is active

    @Professor_Doggy There are a couple ways to destroy ziplines:
    1) Place zipline on top of UNOPENED supply bin - opening supply bin destroys zipline
    2) Place zipline on train track - train will destroy zipline

    I do like the idea of being able to destroy ziplines, but certain areas are only accessible via zipline...

    @FaIIenAngeI777 That’s why i had the idea for just one character to be able to cut the zip lines while using there ultimate so it’s not too OP and they can make to where you can hear the zip line being cut so there’s a fighting chance

    @PJBurrows1991 now that is an idea I can get behind. a legend who is another type of defense/trapper character, but still different enough to get a whole new set of use out of him? I like it. Maybe he rigs doors to explode and makes jump pads magnetic, so that players stick to them instead of bouncing off of them... just a general hacker that does his thing differently from crypto

    Sorry but this is so dumb.. Why would we need a knife why not just make the poles breakable like watsons fence.. 

    Ill tell you why because camping on top of vantage points is for losers. As if his current ult isnt OP enough, you want to remove the only way players can hope to reach him when he climbs on top of some structure?

    @TripLangAPX plenty of other legends have ways of reaching and combatting players in hard to reach places. whether through positioning, ult, teamwork, or ordinance, there is always a way to take down a team with a great vantage point
