Automatic parry perk

#1

Far to many predators can just run in and soak up bullets especially the berserker predators. It kind of breaks the feel of preds that are supose to he stealthily predators. Not invisible tanks who can just run in head on to a 4 man team and punch them all in the face to death.

I suggest you make a perk that will automatically parry any preditors melee attack performed in the players frontal 180 degree arc once every 15 seconds.

This will force predators to actually act like predators and sneak up behind people instead of running head on into 4 man teams as a zerker and most of the time getting 1 or 2 kills if not more.

Players should still be able to parry regularly between auto Perry.

This does 2 things, predators cant face tank a fireteam anymore which they where never ment to do, and they will actually need to sneak up on people.

Additionally add a perk for predators that reduces the audible range you can hear them from while invisible. Fair is fair.

No parrying is too easy as is

Yes because it will make it harder for preds to face tank a group.

It is not too easy, it has been nerfed 3 times and if you miss a single one as a low Hp class you go down.

A perk is a tad excessive, Iā€™d be much more comfortable with it being a feature of secondary melee weapons. So for instance if youā€™re holding a Katana, which takes a gun slot, then you get an auto parry if charged. That way itā€™s on the Pred to not commit.

Nah Iā€™m good enough thanks

Cleary not if you cant handle a zerker rushing you. He is the easiest pres to kill. One parry and the other 3 players dumb rounds into during that stun will result in a 2nd wind and no zerker is going to survive that

Are you fucking serious every predator that fights a communicating team even if itā€™s a Beserker gets shredded in seconds. I have delayed a berserker by parrying until my team arrived. I like the idea of a melee weapon but a perk that insta parrys why. This is coming from a person that plays fire team the most.

The game is mostly played by people with randomā€™s, youā€™re talking about a different balance if referring to a Pre-made.

#10

Itā€™s already hard hahah. Practice the game and youā€™ll find the predator canā€™t face tank teams even a little bit

They could never face a tank team in the first place you get shredded is seconds

#12

Predators are not required to be stealthy

Especially the berserker

#13

Say that to 10+ parties on ps4 communities that all say ft pub only on them

#14

10+ out of 500,000 sales, wow thatā€™s a lot man.

#15

I mean that is just the main community. The lesser ones all have 5+ and lets not even start with fb who all make pre-mades on discord. I say about 50% of the player base plays with pre-mades

A 4 man Fireteam should have no problem against a Berserker if everyone fires at the Predator. Iā€™ve seen many Berserkers doing like you describe, but they go into second wind after 1-2 Fireteam members have been downed, after the second wind the Berserker is doomed, canā€™t get away because of slow movement speed and bad stamina.
You probably had really bad luck ending up with imbeciles in your team if you couldnt manage the Berserker.
Iā€™d say this is one of those ā€œgit gudā€ cases, you got wrecked because you/your team didnā€™t know how to play, and now you create a thread asking to buff the Fireteam, like so many others have done.

Dude, pre-mades probably donā€™t make 3% of the population.

I wish we had numbers but you really think half of all FTā€™s are groups of friends playing on discord.

About you idea of a melee weapon like a Katana or something I totally agree it would be great to recreate that scene from predators

Thank you, I think the OP is just a bit new but also there are ways to make his suggestion make sense in a game. Iā€™d even be happy if it was simply a traditional parry with no stun attached to it. That way itā€™s more a ā€˜hey you were ready for it and had a sword in your hands, time to get seriousā€™. With LMS (last man standing) it might be to much though, have to wait and see.
