Could someone please expain the pros and cons of each predator?

#24

Lately I’ve been running a lot of Viking. Its a total potato masher. Last night I downed three out of four, quick-claimed them all while the fourth watched and fruitlessly shot at me with his shotgun. The damage output with Viking coupled with Fearless and the Sickle is insane, add to the base tankiness without Impenetrable. I still get decently melted from time to time, but Viking is perfect for running in, downing one, claiming, and leaping out. I run Medic, Adrenal and Fearless for mine. Also, don’t ever use the axe or hammer. I can’t tell you how many Preds I’ve downed simply by sidestepping out of the way and unloading my clip. I mean, if you don’t care about winning and just want to troll, by all means, axe it up. You might get some OHKOs. But swinging those things around leaves you incredibly vulnerable.

Elder Stalker is another main, for obvious reasons. Its my meme build, so I don’t play with disc but rather bow and plasma pistol. Medic, Modified Reserve and either Downrange or Dithered Lens for perks.

I’ve dabbled with Scouts, mostly Ghost and Disciplined. My playstyle seems to be more aggressive, so the hit and run is exciting but not quite my thing.

Keep in mind, all of this is subjective. If you have a good Fireteam, you’re gonna get spotted and shot at, a lot. I’ve lost games as Elder Stalker and Viking, despite their “OP-ness”. FT will always have the advantage, its up to you as to how smart you are in using your build to overcome that.

I really wish they didn’t make the meme sickle the strongest melee weapon for the predators. They nerfed katana, but haven’t really touched the elder sword, or done anything to improve the warclub, hammer or axe.

Try Valk Fervent with DR, Imp and faster energy regen. Bow and Disc.
Thank me later.

#27

It’s so cute seeing ppl talk about pred classes as if theres any actual difference lmao.

#28

Eh they’re more like variations of the same class but within the context of this game they’re technically classes.

#29

I don’t have Valk

#30

Fuck you, no.
Go play a real game.

And you know what tf different classes look like you’ve played mass effect damn it.

The only difference I see on classes between this game and others is the lack of weapon/perk/gear lock.
Though a lot of games out there have different “classes” (or characters, whatever) and you can still use whatever perks/cards/bonuses/weapons you want.

#34

Even for ft, I consider them all just different sub classes of an actual class.

If there was some unique differences, like abilities that really stood out than sure.

You know like, unique weapons and gears.
They could add actual abilities, that would be a nice start.

Give different preds something besides slam,
And as for ft that ones more tricky.
Ft is already strong enough as it is,
So unless some over all nerf happens to ft I feel they would be too strong otherwise.

#35

I mean… I dunno about abilities… Makes me think about overwatch or some superpowers bullshit, LMAO.

I get what you are saying, but I don’t think this game has enough weapons/gear/perks to establish class locks.

Like, recon… You have 3 sniper rifles to use. That fucking sucks.

And pred? What a joke. Almost all weapons are melee and most of them are unusable and just work for meme troll builds.

I didn’t buy because I knew they’d nerf her. Don’t see them nerfing the broken shit that is Dante, or either Dutch. Fucking FT shaft strokers

#37

Ya I’ve given up on it tbh.
Woulda been cool tho.

Idk why cause it’s not in the lore I think, but I still want an ice effect for the caster.

Shit like that woulda been cool, but it would have to take place in the future so humans have some advanced tech themselves.

#38

A lot of people still run katana, I do on most of my builds, but I’m starting to replace them with the sickle. What it lacks in DOT it excels in speed and its harder to parry. But yeah, I wish they’d fix the tracking on the other weapons. Can’t tell you how laughable it is to watch a Pred try to attack you and your team, wildly swinging the club or axe, and hitting nothing while getting lit up.

#39

Nerfing is reserved only for Predator dlcs, unless they already suck from the start.

So what you’re saying is nerf wrist launcher

#41

Definitely needs a nerf, way too strong.

#42

Bro even nerfed Valk is very good.

#43

It really just depends on what you want to play. How do you play? Range? Melee? Hybrid? Risky? Stalking? Rushing? Gotta ask the big questions
