Threat System Revamp

The current Threat system heavily favors criminals, giving them a clear edge over cops and making the game feel unbalanced. Even though I personally take full advantage of this system when I’m wanted, I’d still encourage the management to make some small but necessary changes.

Right now, unless you shoot first or are most wanted, cops can’t shoot back. Criminals exploit this by constantly running until they find the perfect moment to strike—usually when a cop is low on health or distracted by other criminals. Let me give you a scenario: Imagine a maniac sprinting at you with a roaring chainsaw, and you being armed just have to stand there like, “Well, technically, he hasn’t hit me yet, so I guess I’ll wait to be sliced first.” This is not just unfair, it’s borderline suicidal.

And before anyone says, "But you have a taser!"-yeah, sure, we do. But the reload time is so painfully long that by the time I’m ready to fire again, the criminal has already robbed a bank, started a new life, and probably has three kids.

What I’m suggesting is simple: if a wanted civilian so much as holds a weapon (not even aiming, just holding), they should be considered a threat. And if they’re running on foot after being warned to freeze (30-second timer), cops should be able to engage. This would finally give law enforcement a fighting chance instead of turning every chase into a waiting game where the cops are sitting ducks.

Thank you.

pretty sure coming at you with a chainsaw is a threat 👍🏿

It is a threat only when the chainsaw is turned on (LMB is pressed), not when they're just holding it.

Nah, - 1 so I can't hold weapons now because I will be considered a threat?

Most of the time when you get your weapons back in Pd you will be automatically holding a weapon

It was a thing before until it got removed due to cops being extremely overpowered.

Only a guy with stars will be considered a threat when they hold a weapon, not innocent civilians.

extinguishers dont dmg health or armour, they just give a stun effect right? If I'm correct then it s a non lethal weapon which should be allowed for cops.
