So with some talk about the cloak lasting a lot less from beta, I decided to crunch some numbers for both myself and the community since no numbers are listed in-game. I did most of my numbers with the '87 predator, not as much currently on the Hunter.
’87 Predator
Cloak ONLY
- Base - 37s
- Energy cell - 43.5s
- Lightbender - 47s
- Energy cell + lightbender - 54s
- Energy cell + lightbender + modified reserves - 67s
Cloak + Vision
- Base - 45s
- Energy cell - 52.5s
- Lightbender - 52s
- Energy cell + lightbender - 60s
- Energy cell + light bender + modified reserves - 77s
Oddly, you actually get MORE cloak with vision activated.
Energy Recovery
- Base - 13s
- Energy cell - 15s
- Energy cell + modified reserves - 14s
So those numbers sound…okay, right? Well, then I checked the Hunter. Here’s just a few stats I did:
Hunter
Cloak ONLY
- Base - 126s
- All 3 perks - INFINITE!(actually gains over time)
Cloak + Vision
- Base - 83s
- All 3 perks - 207s
With hunter, vision + cloak works as you would think, depleting energy faster.
Recovery w/energy cell + reserves - 14s
So what’s this all mean? '87 predator currently seems a bit bugged with the skills and you’re much better off using the Hunter.
Bonus:
Plasma Blaster
Number of quick shots before overload - 32
- With energy cell(No cloak+vision) - 42
- With cloaked + vision + energy cell - 8
Number of fully charged shots before overload - 4
- with energy cell(no cloak+ vision) - 5
- with cloaked + vision - 2
- with cloaked + vision + energy cell - 2
That’s all I have for now. Hope this is useful!
