So geth and troopers can footstomp downed teammates, preventing them from reviving until the end of the wave.  I don't think any of the reapers do this though.

Did you guys ever consider having cannibal do this too, but via their eating animation?  Would be funny to see one of them tucking into one of your teammates as you're running over to revive them.

180 day edit:  Did you guys add the Cannibal Execution?

That would be cool, but instead of killing you instantly, it should drain your life circle faster.

Now that you mention it, I can't remember if the Marauders stomp or not. I could've swear they did, but now I'm unsure.

Reapers are already the toughest enemies around...no need to buff them...

If they ate humans then they wouldn't technically be cannibals, though.

It's a good idea though they might need to change priority handling on regular corpses vs player corpses. Cerberus and Geth troopers both wait a while before stomping and will typically engage a nearby live player before going in for a stomp. Cannibals seem to make a b-line to any corpse they see and will ignore anything but a direct shot.

They can eat humans, husks, and cannibals. Just because you're an anthropophagus doesn't mean you can't have a varied diet.

Awesome idea to make the reapers even more terrifying. :)

Cannibals should eat dead players.

Nom nom nom.

And instead of following a teammate after your bar runs out, you could follow the cannibal.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  Cannibals are, in fact, supposed to be 'executing' downed players about as often as Cerberus Troopers do.  They do this by 'consuming' the player via their regurgitation of bile in order to tenderize the meal (some races are tougher than others after all).

So... Reapers having no execution is a "bug"?

Interesting... I noticed this day 1 but I thought it was normal behavior.

Seriously? I've never been killed by a cannibal while down.

Hopefully, we see this in the next patch.

That surprises me, as having played this game since release I have never seen a execution when playing against Reapers.

You're telling me Reapers are going to get harder? Seriously?

The lack of executions is the only thing bringing Reapers down to remotely the same level as Cerberus and Geth. -_-

You said "bringing this to our attention" xD

Well if you are going to fix it in the next patch, you might as well grab the animation team and take the OP's idea. :o
