Melee can be quite effective if you use the elder sword. You just need to make sure you have some AI coverage and the guy is down in HP. You can down him fast by moving in, then leaping out and as people try to help him shoot them from range. This is just one example.
Do these tactics work?
A very situational example. If the AI is causing enough distraction, if the ft member is isolated if the ft tries to get him up in open space. Does it happen? Absolutely, not often however.
Majority of good players wonât have this. Jump in for this move on the âisolatedâ player and the guys watching his back melt you with hammerheads after 2 swings, if youâve got the stamina left you can leap out but at that point if you push youâre libel to go into second wind
Is it more that Iâm lucky, or that most FT are trash?
Right now with an alarm triggered I found around 14 AI in a base at times. Yes, if this is a PC death squad youâre not going to do much with melee but the case before the last update in the vast majority of cases.
The hammerhead actually got a nerf, so you could argue it was worse before :)

This seems to work if itâs a squad of randoâs with no shotguns the best. If they have no headphone to tel the direction of your smart disc, even better
The majority of teams do go into the potato bin but I do consider having 3-4 people packed together close enough so you can elder sword them to death at the same time as luck for sure :)
As for the vids, most of them are clearly bad, especially in a game where you where in the open and they where all shooting you. Some other canât tell, like the ones you killed as the ropes went down. If they got to exfil they could not be THAT bad and you could very well got the lucky drop on them there.
Also, using the net gun on them make it impossible for me to know if those players were bad or just the team overall was bad because they had a bunch of potatoes doing nothing.
But man, when I see you run after people and they donât realize youâre there I cringe (like around 4:35).
Iâm a decent pred, but not great by any stretch. Still, even with the recent changes I win around 9 out of 10 matches. Itâs a bit more challenging and I do get hurt much faster, but still⌠The vast majority of FT are derps with no mics that run around by themselves and have 0 situational awareness⌠The devs really didnât help the randos much. Even the PCDS out there Iâve faced itâs a toss up if I win or not, but itâs definitely sweaty for everyone. I have no idea how theyâre going to âfixâ things for top tier playersâŚ

I dont think game was supposed to sell more than 50k copies⌠i think there surprised.
This title was well over there head
Exactly they only breake the game for high level by buffing Bane.
Considering knife 1 taps most AI this is sadly better than running around with wristblades combos getting parried
Personally itâs rare that I engage with npcâs if it can be avoided, alot of the time they can spot you when cloaked if they got a glimpse of you. The best plan of action I use (especially since they upped the npc damage to FT), let the npcâs weaken them and I tend to stay close but very rarely do I engage when all 4 are near each other, wait for opportunity and attack single rambos or 2 at the most. I found its best taking this approach and usually the fireteam are weak by the time the chopper is called, then go balls to the walls at the pickup. So I wouldnât say this guy used a good tactic no
Predators call alarms. If you try running in with your knife youâre going to lose a ton of HP. When you get into a base with 14 AI that also have heavies⌠GL with your knife.
@ 4:50 How did you switch your weapon without opening up the weapon wheel? I saw you in the jungle the other day as pred, good game!

Net gun is left handed, so it doesnât need to be swapped out. Like the Bow, and the wristlauncher. You can transition directly to wrist blades.
