I actually enjoy to play also in solo as I can do 5k+ damage games more frequently. Some week ago I did 7650 and today a 7400 damage game that was so funny. In premade is a little bit boring because is too easy as most of predator run for the 1 vs 4 with melee and get melted without even the necessity of parry.
delete the ability to parry the predator

Youâre right its boring sometimes but its fun when good pred arrives⌠But mostly we played in private matches to challenge ourselfs⌠You are in ps4 or pc?
Pc , unfortunatly there are no more players to play private since all people in the official discord are all USA and Australia and they will get high ping. In pubs I have already won agaisnt all teams (russians too) except for my own. I will be glad to find some decent ft to play private and rotate with themđ.
Well iam on ps4 so if illfonic ever add crossplay invites we can get some private matches đ

Parry must remain or the combi zerkers will return in force. James Cameron remembers the dark days of the zerker rushers.
The whole argument about the 4 or 5 hundred pound alien being parried by a human is easily resolved. Allow James Cameron to explain once and for all. In the game the parry animation is shown as a simple block which IS unrealistic against such a strong opponent. His strength would indeed overwhelm such a block. An actual parry is not a block at all. It is deflection of an attack at an angle redirecting the bulk of the energy and momentum away from itâs target. The animation should show the player raising the knife and pushing the wristblade just enough to one side that the attack misses rather than stops dead.
So parry is very possible but it is not properly animated in this game.
James Cameron has spoken.
Yuuuuuuuup. My parry game is, at its core, total shit. Every once in awhile Iâll get lucky and manage to succeed a few times but more often than not I get ripped the fuck apart. So Iâve learned itâs best to avoid those situations since my timing clearly needs A LOT of work.
On the flip-side, while playing as pred Iâll often come across people who seemingly parry with a 95% success rate, forcing me to attack with a ranged weapon.
These two experiences make one thing very clear to me: the parry mechanic requires timing and skill in order to be effective.
Edit: given the above, parry is not OP, some people are just better at games than others. Welcome to the world.

James Cameron doesnât need parry
That sword or the ability to use a smart disc makes me salivate. I need to be patient though. All good things come to those who wait.
I hope on , but I am a little bit skeptical about this.

Of course James Cameron doesnât but he felt he had to explain it for the common folk.
What the hell do you think shotguns are used for? They are made for close quarter combat same thing for smgs. Get rid of the parry garbage, for berserkers close quarter melee attacks are what they are good at and that parry garbage is ruining the combat.
No.
Two things,
-
if you want the smgs and shotguns to replace parrying because âthatâs what theyâre used forâ then you have to buff their damage output otherwise youâd get the berserker melee rush that plagued the game during release.

Melee attacks are hardly the berserkers strong point. The berserker is a tank that barely has any stamina to even get through 1 combo of any melee weapon and will definitely not be able to jump away when shit hits the fan. Zerker has like a 10% melee damage buff and thatâs it, couple that with the health and most gear use and what youâre left with is a big slow target that even without parrying can be melted by any decent team.
To sum it up, suck it up buttercup and git gud.
I shouldnât have to run an AK because itâs the only gun that can push a berserker off a team mate.
Shotguns suck, SMGâs are better but not good enough to push off a rush.
Learn to attack from surprise.
I donât think so I mean⌠you should be punished for spamming, and itâs pretty hard to do so.
Gonna be honest if you go full âimmersionâ, I will show you. One 50 cal shot would insta kill a pred. A hunter bow is an insta kill plasma slam 10 rounds from a assault rifle stop trying to take the fun out of it
As a predator main I strongly disagree, perry is an absolute must for the ft. No it doesnât make any sense, but itâs a must nonetheless.
I do however think that no damage should be received by the pred and perry should only block 50% of the damage taken by the ft.
The knife damage should be reduced by 50% without a perry involved. Itâs kinda crazy to see a predator fall after only 9-12 knife hits and be stunned from perry. But it takes 5-6 hits to down most ft from most predator mele weapons.
I know 6 hits doesnât sound like a lot, but take into account perry stuns the pred and stops a combo, combos are the main strength and damage output of a mele weapon.
For example, on 1 hit the combi does 20 damage, but the 4 hit combo is 113 damage. Meaning some hits do more damage than the first hit. I base this off of a 4 hit combo. (113 damage divided by 4 hits = 28) If all 4 hits hit the same (20 damage) it would be a combo of 80 damage.
You could argue that other weapons do more damage. I hear a lot of people claiming the elder sword is op. The fact is that the elder sword combo is also 113. But itâs a lot faster.
Alpha sickle being the highest damage mele weapon at 133 damage on a 3 hit combo, however it comes at the cost of being the easiest weapon in game to perry.
