Approaching snipers at derailed wearhouse

#1

Was thinking about a way predator can approach sweaty sniper teams that camp on top of derailed wearhouse. Here’s my take:
Pred loadout (hunter) -
Weapons - smart disk and plasma pistol or bow
Gear: healing kits, traps, motion sensors
Strategy for a 1 v 3 outcome -

  1. get inside the wearhouse as soon as possible without taking much damage, none preferably.
  2. Toss a few motion sensors to know where FT is at all times
  3. Toss 2 traps at warehouse enterences to avoid being flanked
  4. Use smart disk from inside the wearhouse to lure some of the FT down (2 will come down because 1 is not enough and 3 will leave to commando on top vulnerable). Try to sniper and but make sure the disk has time to come back to pred safely without being stuck on top.
  5. Take on 2 commandos inside the wearhouse taking cover and using bow or plasma pistol
  6. If one is downed, quick claim or perm kill and try to take out the other one if one of the roof commandos does not come down. If he does, do another 1 v 2 or jump to the roof to take on the lone commando there, taking him out and quick claiming / killing him.
  7. If two commandos come down from the roof. Go to the roof and heal if needed and try to reset.

I realize that is far from fool proof, but it may be a viable approach. Comments, suggestions are welcome.

It is a too unpredictable and unreliable tactic. It is based solely on the ability to hit enemies on the roof with the smartdisc, which will be lost and will not hit the target 8 times out of 10.

Honestly the best i way i found is they have High Ground so you gotta learn the map and learn where the Hills are and use them to work your way to one of the wearhouses you know they are not on and then get on it and use your Plasma caster ( dont forget to Charge it, sounds like something every one knows yet for what ever the reason alot of people dont do it so just throwing it out there) and try and work down their health. if you done a Fair bit of Damage or if its only the one dude Melee Rush them with something like a Combistick or a Elder sword or a Katana or Smart disc ( yea even the smart disc ) Reason being is with this update if you parry those weapons Once you lose 80% of your stam ( ive tested it) meaning yes they can stun you twice but then they cant run or jump or parry so you can just mash Melee and kill him. So no more lone wolfing it on the roofs if you know what to do.

It is too unpredictable. The smart disk is just to lure them down. I think once they take enough damage, after 3 or 4 hits, some of them will feel the need to come down because they’re stim packs would be running low. Smart disk is a bit tough to use though. They can just keep reviving themselves, but at low health they’re odds become worse in my opinion.

The trouble is if there are two snipers, it’ll be a losing effort if they’re good shots. Wearhouse inside offers protection from that. But is is good to be far away (the other wearhouse) in case you need to get in and out to heal.

i just ment like its the best thing i can think of for that case

It is more safe and predictable. My plan is more if a all or nothing. Funding time to heal is tough. Making run for it is asking to be second-winded, though if it’s early on, there’s a good chance pred will get second wind back.
