Ok this should maybe move people from a certain other thread to provoke discussion.
After long term viewing of gameplay, careful consideration, opinion, and requests the RC-XD will be split into two. One explosive the other defroster. Makes the defroster part consistent with the other streaks. Both will have a kill requirement of three. So you must choose one or the other. Unless you die and change your loadout and earn another award in a different slot.
Thus far the balances will be:
RC-XD: No defrost of course and normal speed. Maybe x1.5. Not the current speed demon. That will require game play testing to see how it goes. Dont want a nerfed car.
RC-Defrost: No manual trigger since no explosives and lasts until the timer is out or it is destroyed. Because it cannot defend itself it will maintain its current fast speed and be somewhat stealthy in terms of quietness and visibility by sentryguns. More health since enemies can move in close without fear of death and shoot it while its defrosting.
Both are still affected by EMP + CM mine the same. No change to climbing or jumping. Will be interesting to see which players want which streak. Defrost your team. Or make a kill.
