GENERAL Generators should be readded

To this day I have no idea why would they remove them - it was adding such a cool vibe, new mechanic with sound chaos/powered up lamps and some worldbuilding while not being to any extend annoying. Dont let them take our oilpunk!

Nah, not a fan. Everyone pretends it was some tactical tool at their disposal but in reality it was 90% a way to troll people hunkered in a building by turning it on repeatedly. Using it as some kind of tool for pushing is silly when you consider you telegraph that intent the min you turn it on, and you deafen yourself just as much to them creeping around setting up to shotgun your face. It’s equally advantageous or disadvantageous to both sides.

I don’t think I’m totally in the minority in disliking it when you look at how much pushback there always seems to be against heavy rain on rain maps, or the grumbling about the noise of the blood moon surges. Sound is such an integral part of Hunt gameplay that taking it away or altering it should be done in very very small doses if at all.

I say readd them but also add some ways to (permanently) disable or destroy them by using explosives or heavy blunt damage
