Berserker pred nerf

Demonsnightmare9 · June 16, 2020, 5:23am

Like honestly how is it fair when the berserker pred can come in and take a whole team out and you literally have not time to do anything and by the time you do anything to react you do no damage to make you run away or stop him he just goes through your team in like 30 seconds

Idunno56 · June 16, 2020, 5:35am

No I main zerk and it’s not that easy against a good team we’re the weakest class against a coradanated team I main a disc usually don’t rush and ppl may say zerk takes no skill yes yes he takes skill I constantly worry about rushing using to much stamina and if your team knows what there doing gets lit the fucc up

Idunno56 · June 16, 2020, 5:36am

Legit just use Dutch’s hammerhead it downs a hunter in 1 clip I’ve personally recommend and have tested it

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 6:46am

He already got like 3 fucking nerfs you crybaby get better at the game, I kill them to easy, I mean right now I main pred but stop fucking whining, it an asymmetrical game for gods sake

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 6:46am

Are you new or some shit

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 6:47am

Play pred if you think hes op it’s what I did instead of whining

lucky_jax_77 · June 16, 2020, 6:51am

Sounds like a good Predator against a poor FT. Beserker is a slow and easy target. If he can can run in and take the team apart before you react you have a poorly coordinated team. A decent FT can melt the Berserker in seconds when it gets close.

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 6:49am

You also have 4 members including you and you can’t take a zerker, wow you are trash

Idunno56 · June 16, 2020, 6:56am

Okay I’m also opposed to his post but ur being toxic asf

Tiredofhackers · June 16, 2020, 7:11am

I dunno…how fair is it that most PC players are using exploits, graphic glitches, and graphics filter programs in order to easily spot the predator? Kinda like Dreadnaught50k and Herion33 in my last match I just had. Sat on a hill where they couldnt see me, had a few decoys out and 1 of those two were constantly staring at my position even if I moved to a different spot. They finally got annoyed enough to start lobbing nades at me since I wouldnt come down to fight. Recording of it was already sent in.

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 7:15am

Okay I was pretty toxic but I hate when people whine about nerfs, it makes my blood boil.

Tykelley06 · June 16, 2020, 7:15am

I try my hardest not to be toxic

Idunno56 · June 16, 2020, 7:18am

I completely agree it’s not my thing to comment on ppls skill even though where all thinking it when they complain it still is being toxic whether u say it or not it izzzz what it izzzz just tone it down 😂

dunhila · June 16, 2020, 7:34am

There is absolutely no point in coming here and telling people to nerf the predators. You have to understand just by the wait times for both FT and Predator that 95% of the active player base is predator main. So you are coming here and complaining about predator to 95% predator players-how do you think that will work? I play only FT so I know how OP predators have become but since most don’t and play only predator-why would they agree to a nerf? It is pointless OP,the FT base in the game is dying and you can see it by wait times moving from 35 secs on FT to 28 in just a couple of days. Soon there will be no more FT players,even know I have to wait 2-3 minutes on average extra to get a full FT and that is with Crossplay turned on. The game is going the way of the dinosaurs cause the devs don’t care about balancing at all. I give it an extra month being alive and then it will just be a fond memory.

Tiredofhackers · June 16, 2020, 8:24am

The reason most the FT base is dwindling is the PC players that are using exploits and graphic glitches in order to spot the predator from across the map. Has nothing to do with the Predator being “OP” because it is by far not. Sure some people do the whole “Zerker Combi zerg” meta, but thats because of the afore mentioned issue. Theres no reason for Pred players to play cat and mouse when they cant enjoy the hunt of being a Predator.

dunhila · June 16, 2020, 8:34am

Oh yeah, that is the reason. Sure.

Sharpy_47b · June 16, 2020, 9:03am

Since we have almost two identical threads on Zerker and I see the same guy trying to prove how Zerker is “OP” - I will drop this here aswel.

7m

You know whats hilarious? You with your typical random online casual comment who has never played with a good FT. Berserker is literally one of the easiest Pred to take down. The 'ZeRkER eAsY rUsH StICk WIpE" is common only against garbage players who don’t know how to deal with it. If you see Zerker rushing at you with a stick, dont shoot at him but take out your knife and parry him. While he’s in a hitstun from the parry - the other 3 lits him up to 2nd Wind. That’s how it works. Then, depending on how many melee swings he did before getting parried, in 2nd wind he’s low on stamina. If he tried to leap - sniper or assault rifle, revolver (you name it) guys - melts his Second Wind timer even further before he lands. He’s so slow that even Assault can catch up with him. Im not even talking if you have recon or scout in your team who does the rest of the job and chase him down to fuck him up for good. Even if he manages to heal up without being killed in a 2nd wind. A good FT will still be on his toes by the time he heals (that means he has only 50% of his HP) - and continues to pressure him and chase him because co-ordinated FT knows that he HAS to heal again right after 2nd wind. Be it a medkit or a pig. And goot FT will AWLAYS listen to where u at even if they dont have u in their sight Yet.

Explain how he’s “buffed” as hell when he:
Has the worst stamina consumption and regen stats
Got his passive class-based damage nerfed
Combistick was nerfed atleast two patches ago and now is universally considered between most decent FT players to be well balanced if you know how to parry (which is easy af).

TL:DR - Get good.

How to be Good as Fire Team

I’ll just leave this here along with the OP’s post it’s literally all you need to know to be good at fireteam and literally stomp any pred you run into

ok SO first Scar, LMG, AK, the first AR, and Hammerhead, vector the last SMG and the 2XL you should never use shotguns as they do less dps than the 2 smg’s i’ve mentioned use extended mag on all of them each of these weapons can down the zerker predator in one clip or at least in 11seconds if you are a fireteam these are the only weapons you should be using unless your a sniper god all of the snipers are good it’s entirely preference between the 3 of them however the barret 50 (last sniper) and the bolt action are both fine at taking off the preds mask in around 2-4 shots the minigun is overrated but is really good in close range as another option it and the magnum are memey with the assault but not terrible it’s just other primary weapons/secondary weapons do their job better
with these weapons you now have the capability to downs zerker in one clip or in 11 seconds or less assuming your pretty accurate and depending on your range closer ranges get as low as 4-6 seconds farther away get to about 7-11
keep in mind some of these guns such as the LMG/AK/Scar can kill the predator before he can down you in melee this is true for every melee weapon when your support/Dutch with the right perk setup which lets you completely prevent melee play from the predator if your aim is true in CQC unless they decide to throw their weapon in the case of the disc/stick

2nd you have to know how to parry with the autos above it takes 2 parries to kill any predator in the game
If you equip the knife by holding the melee button and pressing L2 or whatever your aim button is you get a heavy stab this stab has more parry frames and at times lets you parry the pred melee attacks with no thought in your brain so use it if your struggling

3rd you should be using either the assault or support or dutch classes in all cases Recon and scout is strictly worse than everyone else you will never need the spotting duration hip fire accuracy and + revive speed could be useful but most of the time if someone is downed unless they crawl behind something it’s not worth trying to revive them besides the interaction perk increases revive speed so just take the perk on an assault or dutch and bang you get to be scout with 150+ hp

4th you should only be using perks that increase your dmg to the predator or increase melee dmg and hp up dmg reduction from currently OLWF scales on max hp so if your hp is 150+ it usually is better than +HP you could for 3 costs take +interaction speed or +move speed or then for any 2 costs you should always be picking reduced recoil reduction or 6 sense or reload speed for your 1 costs you should be picking ADS movement speed or sludge blood albeit hip fire accuracy generally isn’t good but you could take it if you think your going to fight a lot of melee pred’s

figure out which combination of perks here work for your class set up and use them well

5th Gear you should always be taking syringes on every single class or medkits

if you are support you should take both if your in a premade 1 person should have ammo bags and whoever is dutch/assault should be running audio decoys + thermal distractions every other item isn’t usually worth using unless all these items are being used by someone it’ s best to have 2 medkits per fireteam
6th communicate with you team if you have a mic if the predator leaves always have someone go check the local pig spawns generally there is a very close pig spawn near camps always check it if pred leaves if you catch him eating a pig that equals death for him

7th reinforcements 3 people means all in go their 2 people should split up you can be mudded for the entire game if you keep an eye on it rendering isolation worthless for pred if your all running silencers which the only downside is a slight dmg down this would cause some weapons to no longer one clip the predator so it’s your choice on how valuble that is unless the predator gets lucky on which camp he is looking at he will never find you until extraction

an 8th thing i just thought of if your fighting a predator who killed 2 people and he left whether healing or not you should immediately mud up and get out of the obj your in and wait for reinforce mission and head to it cause if he comes back he will probably wipe the 2 of you once reinforce starts he is alerted and you should immediately leave the local area not too far so you can sprint back to help your friends when they spawn but far enough that pred doesn’t kill you before they spawn

9th buildings under any circumstance you should never have more than 1 person in a building ever cause slam dmg is very high so make sure your not too huddled also in some cases if someone is downed it’s better to not revive them due to the ranged aoe/dmg of the predator killing those who interact this is also true with obj’s make sure you scare the predator off before doing such things or make sure his focus isn’t on you when your doing it people are bait remember that

10 the best predators use leap to confuse people so you need to be effective at tracking jumping or it’s movement in general predator move speed is the MOST POWERFUL tool they have as it lets them avoid dmg once you get this down predators will start to get wild and of course keep an eye on blood and use your ears to find them don’t want em standing still while invisible so they can ambush you or your team or heal for that matter

generally speaking the best comp for a team is probably 2 supports one assault one dutch you could mix and match this as long as you have one support on your team and all of you are using this here post you have a predator hunting death squad at your fingertips

this is all you need to know to be successful as a fireteam even against other pred varients not just zerker combi do to raw dmg output you have access too

keep in mind you FT’s have more effective hp than the predator because in theory you could have 48 heals and can dps him down faster than he can you so generally speaking if your losing you probably lost at loadout select unless that predator was just a apex monster which in my experiance has only happend to my squad 2 times out of what like 75+ games

All weapon dmg stats
All weapon dmg stats 2 electric boogalooo

Arguement over

Kocain-Dwanye · June 16, 2020, 9:29am

I am on the fence on this. The Zreak can down a team fast. It happens to me alot but I know its the fire team fault. I win 90% of the matches when we the fire team play as team. Look out for each other don’t just run to the next object, but its hard with a room full of randoms. You win some, you lose some. Just enjoy the hunt.
