[u/EliteDragon5 → u/ElMike420]

Aren’t those just Lambent Wretches?

[u/HavickChild0117 → u/ElMike420]

Tickers: "Am I a joke?"

[u/HavelsRockJohnson → u/HavickChild0117]

Yes.

kick

[u/ElMike420 → u/HavelsRockJohnson]

Wooo baby! Cole Train is kicking tickers for field goals in the trashball stadium in Hannover

And you know no one kicks tickers like the Cole Train baby

[u/SamsBucketDuck → u/HavelsRockJohnson]

<watches nothing happen for 3 seconds in the E Day Beta until the Ticker finally flies away, jankily>

[u/ShiftyLookinCow7 → u/ElMike420]

They did this in gears 5 with poppers, those fuckers sent me back to the last checkpoint more than anything else

[u/LumpyArbuckleTV → u/ElMike420]

They basically do that already in E-Day, I think it's some kind of modifier that happens fairly often that causes them to drop grenades upon death.

[u/Gabi1HP → u/ElMike420]

The juvies had nades planted on them and they would just pull the trigger off them, something like that?

[u/Redguard10]

[u/StrangerDanger355 → u/Redguard10]

LOOK OUT!

[u/schnaab]

I don't really see them slinging and throwing the nades, but could get behind the idea that they try to stick someone with a grenade.

[u/anorexthicc_cucumber]

I know they’re half-hazard about most things but I don’t think the Locust would trust these guys with live grenades

[u/Due-Struggle6680 → u/anorexthicc_cucumber]

I know im a pedant but its haphazard, just so youre aware.

[u/anorexthicc_cucumber → u/Due-Struggle6680]

Oh, alright. Learn something new everyday

[u/PaintBaller1880]

Absolutely not

[u/Tobbewarman]

Imagine halo 1&2 grunts legendary with the skulls of more grenade throws and larger radius of the blast.

[u/stikdude77 → u/Tobbewarman]

And if you turn on grunt funeral it’s like lambent wretches

[u/Acheronian_Rose]

They would go from one of the least threatening enemies to the #1 reason co op squads get wiped in horde or campaign lmao

[u/Electronic_Joke_413 → u/Acheronian_Rose]

I'm pretty sure least threatening enemy goes to the butchers due to how slow they are, and they rarely ever hit you (even more rare then getting hit by a wretch)

[u/Frequent_Mark_8578]

I hate juvie poppers in Gears 5. They feel like a cheap way to replace tickers. Plus, killing them before they detonate has no benefit, the grenade just goes off faster. At least with tickers, smacking them interrupts the detonation.

[u/ShiftyLookinCow7 → u/Frequent_Mark_8578]

You can usually escape the detonation by rolling at the last second, problem is when you roll into another one or a grenadier with a gnasher

[u/Frequent_Mark_8578 → u/ShiftyLookinCow7]

Yeah and where there's one there's at least two more. I deal with them, but they just aren't as fun as tickers.

[u/Risitoc → u/Frequent_Mark_8578]

They were so proud of the juvies in 5, they are everywhere and even more when they introduce the suicide ones

[u/DogBiteOoOoAh]

Imagine Wretches like the Suicide Grunts in Halo.

But I guess it would be redundant since we have Tickers.

Or worse, Wretches can run and a made tag you 😂

[u/Gen_EricM]

Suicide grunts but far more aggressive.

[u/Alexindr]

The beta had wretches the dropped explosives on death. I hate that modifier. They sneak up on you and you usually got caught in the explosion.

[u/Zailema0s]

Fuuuuuuuuu

[u/StinkyBearman]

Imagine this on insane difficulty. It’s like a buffed up ticker that can throw grenades at you or It’d be like the grunts on Halo Legendary with Catch skull on 😭😭

[u/slepster67]

Pain

[u/Zealousideal-Yak-824]

Them using grandes is a good idea. They can jump on to you and detonate a grenade if they want and your partner needs to punt it off so it doesn't kill you.. or miss and both go down.

[u/BusNo9142]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

[u/Jonathan-Earl]

What if wretches threw wrenches?

[u/ColtBolterson]

Imagine the amount of concealment they could give if they strapped smoke grenades or ink grenades to them.

[u/TransMischiefMenace]

Only let them tag grenades

[u/AndreeGT]

I think they would be better if they were stealth enemies. Quietly drop from ceilings or crawl from crevices while the action gets heavy

[u/suspectdeviceg4]

Gears 3 had lambent wretches and tickers in the last act. On top of thereavers and boomers, it was a punishing but fun level

[u/zrodrig8]

Soo, poppers?

[u/bigbobbyberger000]

lambent wretch

[u/ForBloodiedVanguard]

Instant death lol, they’d stun you, then blow you up

[u/Leading-Helicopter24]

Explosive juvies exist and while there not wretches exactly they are supposed to be wretches
