A cool idea for a Coyle buff.
We can all agree that Coyle desperately needs a new buff to feel like a challenge in his trial environments. Well since the new expop 'the biter' is coming out in this upcoming season, what if Coyle carried around a biter like a police dog. He could pull a biter Exop by a chain similar to a dog on a leash and it could be used for the following.
The Biter could help Coyle detect reagents in the dark by being able to scout a bit further ahead then Coyle and be able to walk in different directions. He wouldn't be able to stray too far away from Coyle as he would be attached by a leash made of chain.
The Biter could be able to put reagents in a stun animation similar to the pouncer or lilya, however his would be alot shorter. This would both alert Coyle and give him time to catch up to you
When in light areas the biter could charge at players dealing damage while Coyle runs up towards us.
This would allow Coyle to become a much larger threat and make it so reagents have to be extremely careful of him in both light and dark areas. This would also give him a larger range and would show the extent of his charisma since he was able to tame a biter and use it to hunt reagents. If it needed to be balanced Red Barrels could add that The Biter is very easily distracted by noise and could lead Coyle into wrong directions when it hears a bottle smash (Reagents would be able to distract biters like this without the cacophony amp). How do you guys feel about this idea? Do you think it would work or would need to be buffed or nerfed. I think this would be really cool to see a prime asset directly utilize expop for hunting and it would be a natural way to give Coyle a buff since most police officers would use dogs to help catch and hunt down people in police investigations.
