i thought of another thing that makes them useless to.
a single one is completely worthless. if you launch a single punji stick then it does absolutely nothing. you NEED two of them to do anything and this presents another issue. timing. the instant that stick hits the ground it activates and the timer starts counting down. so youll always have punjis that are completely out of sync unless you run two of them side by side.
on top of this they couldve made the punji a bit more deadly. if its a single stick why not have it arch lightning bolts to cars nearby? it would do minimal damage but give a debuff to enemies it hits for a longer period of time? so its either drop a single stick down to debuff enemies or drop two down to gate people off or have the drive through it to deal alot more damage with the debuff to add to that.
i mean it would work right?
