Chopper Needs Buffs

#1

After the energy change Chopper has been the most painful thing ever to play as. I try using range with the shoulder caster I can barely use two fully charged shots while clocked. I use the bow or pistol same issue with fighting at a distance cuz of energy draining too quickly. Even up close with these range weapons, Chopper loses momentum because he has to ADS to shoot making him super easy to just get melted since his HP is little.

You can barely run any good perks because his perk numbers are low at 10. Even doubling up damage reduction doesnā€™t mean much because again his HP is small. So maybe buff his perk numbers to 13?

Disciplined feels so counterintuitive because of how terrible his energy is for distance combat, and irrelevant for melee because of running sounds.
Warrior parry stun reduction is so meaningless because itā€™s not a fast enough recovery to get away from fireteam players that can keep melee attacking u in the stun animation.

Iā€™d suggest replacing these two specializations for Analytic because Chopper desperately needs some sort of damage buff to maintain some sort of pressure at range as well as melee and probably Savage makes the most sense for how small his HP is to heal on the go without giving up distance and pressure against fireteam.

Iā€™d also suggest since his energy is so fast draining give chopper a passive damage reduction by 10% while cloaked and receives 5% more damage while in energy overload, this would encourage ppl to use emp mines also to bait chopper into melee

And come on! Chopper has the lowest slam damage too? GIVE CHOOPER SOME LOVE ā¤ļø @IllFonic

Or you could simply try to use your brain and pick a class that suits the way you play?

As an example, if i wanted to play a smaller, fast and agile Predator with high stamina then i wouldnā€™t pick the Berserker and then go to the forum and complain that it needs a buff.

Chopper is not a caster class, itā€™s a hit-and-run class.

All Preds need to ADS to shoot.

Your lack of game knowledge and common sense makes you look like an imbecile here.

I like his skulls on his back so imma keep playing him. Ik heā€™s hit and run but that isnā€™t enough to make it viable enough damage and time efficiency for the duration of the match and how easy it is to melt chopper thatā€™s why I suggested savage and analytic to help with the hit and run better.

Ik all predators have to ads, my point was his little HP is almost impossible to do hit and runs for 4k and the ads makes it more difficult because you canā€™t always just use melee because thatā€™s too predictable

For plot or he would have saw the girl look behind him and dodge

#9

Iā€™m actually curious why you think that for lore sake or it opinion wise?

#10

In the link you just sent me it said that Chopper was the best melee fighter. So I also think Chopper would win against Scar

Wait dude think about it. It also says though that he was always looking for Celtics praise or some shit. What if Chopper is actually able to beat Celtic in a duel but heā€™d always let Celtic win because he loves his brother so much šŸ˜‚ to the point he wouldnā€™t want Celtic to feel some sort of competition or I guess you could say like jealousy towards him haha

Youā€™ve made me become a Chopper fanatic lmao

Chopper is one of the worst classes in the game, i think only the Berserker and the Viking are even more horrible.
If youā€™re a roleplayer and only want to play it because of the skulls on his back then donā€™t make a post here about buffing him. If you pick a shit class then youā€™ll obviously be having a hard time hunting aswell.
If everyone had the same mindset as you then all classes would be called out for buffs for the wrong reasons.

His current specs are just fine, Ghost for heavy melee damage with Sickle or Hook, or Disciplined so you can approach the Fireteam undetected for surprise attacks.
Chopper is the fastest Predator class in the game and playing as the Predator is all about being opportunistic and planning how to approach and attack the Fireteam, especially if youā€™re playing against decent players.
Common game knowledge should tell you not to go fight against 4 players at the same time because then it doesnā€™t matter if you have 1650hp or 1000hp, youā€™re going to get melted anyways.

And i donā€™t understand how you find ADS:ing so troublesome, youā€™re suppose to make quick shots, you always have, unless the FT doesnā€™t know where you are, then you can start with a charged shot, besides that all of the charged shots are a waste of time, very risky since you have to stand still or move super slow for 3 seconds before shooting and the damage increase still doesnā€™t out dps quick shot spamming. You should be sprinting between your shots to dodge incoming fire.

I know heā€™s the fastest and I do all that, that you typed.
I picked him because I like speed and fast gameplay but I also like the cosmetics.

Just because heā€™s horrible doesnā€™t mean he should stay that way

#16

Whoever claims that the Chopper class is the best melee fighter is a troll and wants you to die a horrible death.
Amazon is probably the best melee class. But after patch 3.0 when melee damage seem to have gotten buffed iā€™d say there are a few other classes that could also be viable for melee play.

#17

We were talking about the lore, not the game. Sorry

#18

Okay.
Iā€™m not into fan made lore, i thought you meant in the game.
