That sucks. Was just curious. Wasn’t really mad just more baffled honestly. Maybe it hit both his legs which counted as a double hit. Idk. Lol
Combistick Instantly downs my friend in a match, and instakills a random
LOL, considering the developers here I would not be surprised that each body part counts as a hit =))
even as a predator main i consider combistick win as way too easy, down one, wait for the other to heal up throw, down the other guy and repeat the process, talk about skill i will be honest only cheap predator play that because in any other play style they always lose.
true pred play bow+ elder sword ;)
EDIT: HOWEVER IF YOU PLAY SCOUT YOU HAVE SOME BALLS AS YOU ARE WEAK AS A COCKROACH HP WISE
Even then however I try to play with weapons nobody really use. I have a pred class that runs a war club and net gun. Net gun to help compensate for the clubs slow combo. For FT i play an assault with minigun and yautjas bane for extra damage and another FT i have a support with a nade launcher…sadly still sucks cuz no impact… :(

The minigun is the worst weapon in this game, all it does (if the predator is any good) is make you into the perfect target for the predator.
It is but so far its actually working. Thats why I run it with assault for extra secondary damage and bane for more damage. Sure it sucks but it feel great just firing bullets fast af. And tbh, I haven’t been doing to bad with it.
ez bow target 100000%
Elder sword is as unskilled as combi throw (even more maybe), just press left click of mouse and it’s a down. Bow best skilled weapon but it has too many bugs like wrist blade melee attack instead of shooting arrows you know.
Yup. Or the arrow going through the damn FT when he mud for mo reason. But there is no melee weapon that require real skill sadly. The katana as too much bug too and the club is a meme sadly :/

Tried to use that, it’s not as ez as you state. Competent FTs parry the shit outta Elder sword, and it puts you in a bad position, too confident and too exposed to FT concentrated fire.
So the new brilliant idea is to nerf Combistick. Wow, you suggest to delete the only possibility in the game to one shot down FTs (and only 50% of the classes) with a headshot.
Brilliant idea indeed !
Next one will be to replace wristblades with marshmallow sticks

Love how you assume that we’re saying to nerf the combistick. No, thats not what we’re talking about. What were talking about is how it downed my friend at full hp as Dutch with thick skin when the combistick clearly hits him in the legs and how it instakilled a dude who never got put into the position of being instakilled (i.e. Getting downed a bunch of times then being revived to the point of one being actually killed next time there hp hits zero) And later were just assuming its a glitch or something. Never did we say to nerf the thing.
The elder sword is meant to be used from the back and sides. I’ve died before being able to turn around and start doing parries with the damn thing. You’re not going to be at max HP most of the game with preds+npcs attacking you.
Then go watch the video. A LEG SHOT (not head shot) instantly downs a high HP class. It happened to me on a 190 HP to 0 but I just assumed he must’ve followed with something else after the spear but it did made no sense to me but still, I had no video of it so I went with “I am imagine it” but now with this new video of it… We are questioning if there’s a bug.
But if you really want my opinion the spear throw, elder sword and pistol deserve some type of nerfs. Spear throw its ok if you are running support with thick skin or Dutch/Support but when you’re something else… Well let’s say not many people want to run low HP classes for a few reasons. Like instantly getting killed and preds having that perk to track your footsteps and if you have that triangle thing above your head it never goes off. So as a low HP class you can’t even hide.
First down does look weird, the down at the end is easier to explain, being at 70% hp and getting hit by throw is most likely a down. It’s moments like this when a function like instant-replay would be appreciated to access after each round, so you can watch through every player’s perspective during the whole round in case someone would suspect cheating, exploiting or simply just want to see how a certain player is performing, it would help out to explain some things to have a function like that. Maybe the Predator did throw the combistick through the head but there was an animation glitch for the combistick that made it look like it went through the leg.
The second event is about that guy ending up dead and not down. :) From what I know you need a stealth kill for that.
If you’ve used up your down limit then you die the next time.
The video is edited so no idea if he was downed before. Could be as you said.
He was never downed in that match.
Actually, when you get downed the third time, you just rag doll into death. Unless you use the perk for an extra down, which is pointless, because most of the time, you’re getting quick claimed if you go down. But once the stealth kill is available, any damage can cause an instant kill.
As far as the original post. I would suspect it was some form of the double melee damage glitch. I could imagine that any weapon that is not aoe, probably has a chance to hit multiple hit boxes or something like that.
