As predator, what are you supposed to do when an entire team is camping one of those small office buildings?
I had a game where I picked off one guy and the rest camped in the mini building spam healing eachother.
I kept shooting at them through the doorway from a tree with charged shots from my plasma caster and I get nothing. What are you suppose to do in this situation?
I mean if you’re able to actually get to a vantage to just keep hitting them in the building then just keep doing that. Eventually they’ll run out of supplies and be forced to leave or die.
That sounds like a legitimate play strategy, and it actually puts you in the dominant position, right? There’s no way they can complete their mission if they stay turtle up like that, so the pressure on them is increasing, along with the chance s that they’ll make a mistake.
Also, what about lobbing a bear trap or two in there?
I believe that if time runs out the FT wins
I guess at that point it’s just a game of patience and withering their resources down until they are close to dead and try to run out and then killing them
The victory cinematic is them winning, which I think is dumb, I think there should be a different cinematic for a time out. But generally speaking they only end up with about 3k xp from it which seems like a monumental waste of 15 minutes.
Well, at the end of the day, it’s just a cinematic. I agree that’s a bit odd though. You killed one of their squad, prevented them completing their mission, and left them stranded without evac. That seems like a win for you, whichever way you look at it.
If the time runs out predator wins. At least I got a win that way yesterday when 2 fireteam members were too scared to move out from the warehouse upper floor on derailed after killing 2 others.
I was not taking the chance to run in and get hung up on geometry and other small hitboxes just to get shot to pieces so I camped them. Time ran out and gave me the win
Hmm, maybe killing half the squad is the tipping point then.
Maybe 1 kill is enough. Another team shot off my biomask with a sniper so I was basically on the run the whole game but managed to kill one. They wanted to hunt me down so bad the time ran out and was also a win for me.
Would be nice to know exact win/lose conditons.
To be honest, I don’t even know why it has to focus on absolute win/lose dynamics. If you manage to bag a few skulls along the way, but some of the squad manage to complete their objectives and get evaced, how is that a loss. The predator is in it for sport, not to eradicate any opposition.
Moving the goalposts a bit like that might diffuse some of the rage surrounding the balance issues too. If everybody wins, nobody loses, and you all get some juicy XP along the way. It’d allow the predator to take a more measured, stealthy approach overall.
