Buff the Predator

#9

What absolutely needs to be changed if they want to keep the damage output from fireteam is completely remove parrying. As of this time there’s absolutely no downfall to parrying and the knife does stupid amounts of damage to the predator, taking about 15% worth of health off each swipe which effectively kills the predator almost instantly with other members firing on him.

That and half the time your attacks don’t connect, it doesn’t leave you with much options because the ranged attacks (other than the shoulder plasma caster) aren’t exactly the greatest at damage output.

I think that’s the intention. The Predator franchise has always brought that into the mix of Predators hunting random people. Here, unlike most other asymmetrical games, the hunter can become the hunted, so to speak.

thats not the point of it. predator shouldnt be the one being hunted at all. the fire team can catch up to you within seconds if youre running away. thats not right.

Le predator est bien trop faible sur une vingtaine de partie j’ai réussi qu’à gagner 5 fois il faudrai le rendre un peut plus résistant s’il-vous-plaît

Then what’s with the movies always having the protagonist rising above the rest who fall to the Predator, and then defeating him? Or the recent comic line, “Predator: Hunters”, where characters from the multiple comics come together to hunt Predators to give Humanity that fighting chance?

As for the game, you can heal in the trees, not just the ground, utilize Leaping as so to not spread your blood trail around.

Those protagonists are few and far between the rest of others who have encountered the Predator.
The Predator isn’t bulletproof sure but they are more naturally resistant, surviving or killing the Predator should be an thrilling extreme stroke of luck or skill and that is lost if all you gotta do is bumrush with a shotgun Leeroy Jenkins style to kill him.
When a Predator has died to a human it’s always been through outsmarting them or sheer tenacity but here, just throw on the extra damage perk and gun him down.

I mean, then how was it like for every single other game? AVP? Gun or Alien. AVP2? Gun or Alien. AVP3? Gun or Alien. Movies and Games are obviously going to be different, although the homage is appreciated.

Franchement le predator est trop faible je sui niveau 40 sais atous serre a rien et sont arsenal je parle même pas,le predator doit être puissant et les commando doit en avoir peur mais la sai le contraire le commando chasse le predator c’est pas logique les commando sont trop puissant

Just finished my match. The whole fire team was using a mini guns on me wtf I thought those where balanced I barely won with those broken odds. The wrist blades are a joke might as will give me unlimited plasma shots. They need to withdraw that bs balance patch cause now you created a minigun meta. I’m a level 7 pred with barely anything to even out the fight.

Yeah it’s a good thing that leveling you speak of doesn’t also make the Fireteams stronger. Oh wait…

#20

the past two times ive played as fireteam i literally take out my knife if the predator comes close. cant hit me because the melee is broken and i take him out with like 5 hits. its dumb

Second assault rifle is enough to end. Like or not Pred needs a buff.

Everyone keeps countering with “well when you get to lvl 42!”

Ha, might as well grind fire team. Predator is a pushover

The predator is powerful enough. They just need to make them stealthier. Less noticeable cloak and quieter footsteps, especially when walking. At this point if you have a decent headphone you’ll be able to pinpoint where they are at all times.
There seems to be a mechanic that makes you completely invisible if you stay still for a period of time, this needs to be shortened.

Okay number 1 AVP movies are not canon.
Number 2 how dare you acknowledge the existence of the second one.
Number 3 even if they were Canon it one only prove the point cuz those Predators got more roughed up than the Predators in the original 2 films.

I think everyone calling for a buff or nerf, needs to put your time played, rank and load outs used. I’m not saying what people are claiming is false and there very well may need to be some balancing done, but I think the majority of you complaining the Pred is severely weak are just not that good yet. I get it I get it, “git gud”, but remember the Predator plays his own way, the fire team plays like any random FPS. Ppl are naturally going to be more skilled playing as the FT vs players using Predator. The games been out for 2 damn days.

#26

I made an account just to say that the predator is far too weak. Like I love this game but when the fire team can avoid my attacks and leave me wide open then annihilate me it would be nice to not have to hit them 7 times… nothing much just like up the damage or make the attacks less easy to avoid

Predator is well rounded but he and the fire team needs to be tweaked.

#28

Weren’t you the guy telling everyone to get good and that he didn’t need a buff?
