I used to want the netgun to be nerfed, but now I am enjoying the fact that they have not.
At least we still have the net gun

This is why we need to stick together fire team
Unlike other team based shooters this one does require teamwork

Definitely not OP. Premades will knife that shit off and light you up.
The first team in the video was a premade and one almost escaped.

Net gun, fast hands, (any melee weapon of your choice) = terrifying.

Adrenal boost, fast hands, fearless (scout has so much stamina, this may not be necessary)
Its fun as hell, keep on the move. Usually start net gunning after I down 1 or 2 with the caster
Game over man.
Hmm interesting. I’m think Alpha with fast hands adrenal and fearless. Alpha is the best class right now I think. Maybe hunter with fast hands adrenal and cooling sync too 🤔

If the net gun becomes gear theres going to be no point in taking it in.
If anything the pred should get one more weapon slot, where he can take either the net gun or the disk, since their pretty small.
I think an extra weapon plus some damage buffs are in order.
I see FT mains always talking about how Predators not a tank. Real guns would shred him, blah blah blah.
Listen, if you’re gonna go that way you need to do it for both sides. Every single predator weapon in reality would be instant death, or at the very least total incapacitation. Do you know many people who can have their midsection sliced open or get a spear through the torso and keep running 30mph? I sure fucking don’t.
i see it as completely the oppositte right now i run into the issue of why take the netgun over X weapon
currently the answer is “Well if they are alone they’ll die from it” but like every single melee weapon can do this so can the bow and actually everything else wheras if it’s a group the netgun does nothing or your forced to take fast hands so that it’s actually useful in group situations so that means to use this item i have to take a perk so this item costs 2 slots? to be effective wheras nothing else does?
which means it’s purpose as a weapon is nul it’s a CC tool you know our other CC tool? is a fucking gear item?
which means i always have it?
why don’t i also have the choice of always having the netgun?
if it became gear i would always run it with medkits as it’s the most reliable form of Crowd control compared to the beartrap (which can be destroyed now mid flight or prior to activating or by simply running away when someone sees you start to throw it) and they can still shoot you if you BT them they can also still rez people too as ive literally rez’d people while BT’d before or literally nothing
the netgun however will stop them from doing any action every time and slows them down the only downside is the massive hitbox on the net that’s fired
weapons should be things that kill people
gear should be utility and crowd control items
I mean it’s not many of the weapons are worth using anyway.
Combi, bow, handheld are pretty much the most efficient ones.
But the gun nor the bear traps really offer enough.
I just throw em on because fuck else am I gonna take?
The net can be combined with the blades so there you, its purpose as a weapon.
You’re saying net for cc, but literally, both the traps and net do not make enough of an impact to be used solely for that.
But like I said, the net and the disk, should be a special case where you get an extra weapon slot where you can take either one of those two.
The problem is status effects and cc are way too fucking weak in this game.
You cant effectively rely on them vs a good ft.
But with your idea there goes fucking net to never be used again.
so your telling me if you have the option to always take netgun because it’s now a gear item you simply wouldn’t use it anyway when otherwise your options were
these 3 which btw isn’t the netgun cause it doesn’t fucking kill people
which means it would now compete with a simaler item the Bear trap and keep in mind the BT and the netguns effects can’t even overlap so you could only use one at a time anyway
unless your about to tell me your a fast hands shenaniman who swaps between 3+ items in a scramble
I wouldnt use net over traps.
Even if the traps dont grab ppl, you can use them to distract ppl sometimes.
Net gun becomes a gear tho, I see no point in taking it anymore.
But both net/ trap are a joke anyway.
I mainly just like having it on me.
But my problem with things like these two items are they dont have enough of an impact.
Net sure it can be a huge pain in 1v1,
And traps as well.
But I think before we even try to switch what it is, we should probably try to make it effective and worth taking.
The half a second disruption it causes does not justify taking at all.
So honestly the bigger issue is making cc and status effects actually viable, as well as melee.
The only time I’ve seen net be useful is to stop one guy from shooting you, so you can quick claim.
But this is a rare situation since most ppl stick together.
and i however would use netgun over traps cause of the SHEEER dps diffrence FT has making a single FT stop shooting you for 2-3 seconds is an ENTIRE TTK you get to live through
now albeit making Pred gear function like FT gear where it’s fire and forget (meaning all pred gear can be equipped at the same time a weapon is and thrown like grenades)
is an entirely different argument on improving pred gear as it would be the largest buff they could do to pred gear without touching any values
Cause lets be honest Illfonic doesn’t have a very good track record at doing numbers but they can do options pretty well
I think the netgun is in a weird place.
In the movies, it was clear that you couldn’t just spam nets like in this game, but the nets were extremely powerful.
I would actually like to see much, much stronger nets with an extremely long reload and fewer shots that can only be escaped through a long interaction hold, and take that version and move it to the gear items.
