See…this made good disc users God Tier. I wanna see some vids from @BAWGGS and @Thescoutpredmain
I’ve already seen @REYNOSO_FUA11 ruin us with it.
Myself and most preds I’ve found in the wild using it though? Yeah they still suck
Fear Factor

Personally I think it needs a nerf to 2 uses and give it less HP, so if it get’s stuck into something, I can actually destroy it before I die of old age :)
Someone mentioned making shot guns do 5x damage against the disc and I love the idea. It makes sense to introduce the Predator to skeet shooting
Shotguns needs something that is good overall, not just in case someone brings the disk. As it is, shotguns are good for clearing AI, not so good if the predators jumps on you.
My version of buffing the shotgun is to give it stagger or knock back. So if the predator is on you, very close, you can stop him in his tracks from shooting up close arrows or using melee.

Definitely not. Last thing we need is to make melee even more difficult
This would do nothing for good players where melee is useless anyway but help casuals and low skilled players to deal with melee better.
What is that?
Actually melee isn’t completely useless. I’ve been on a tear lately since Valkryie came out. Hit and run melee is incredibly effective and viable even after her nerf.
But that knock back would completely ruin it, instead of taking a few rounds before jumping out I’d be thrown out of position, likely suffer a collision leap, go straight up then be a sitting duck
I am sure some balancing would be required, like give it a small stagger like its when you parry(with some internal CD so you can’t chain it), nothing major. Also hit and runs are performed usually by getting out of there before you get shot back. You would also need to look what the guy you’re about to attack has equipped. It takes time to switch weapons and you can force him to switch to something that has range by using range on him.
I just see way too many unintended consequences to a knock back for FT.
Pred on the other hand, enough of this body block bullying. Give him a knock back to escape buildings and corners.
Nah, If a pred get’s tricked in entering a building and get’s trapped inside, he deserves to lose (that is a huge mistake).
And as I said, you already have the parry thing, just give it the same thing. It would also make perfect sense with shotguns, in the movie the predator ended up on his ass after some shoots.
100% disagree on both points
Perhaps I can see why you would disagree with the shotgun thing but why should the predator get saved after making a mistake?
How would it sound to make solo FT invulnerable to predator damage? Its very dumb to split up by yourself. But hey, let’s protect people from stupid mistakes :)
Specializations lock on certain classes ur forced to run specific specializations.
Especially for predator cause ur going up against 4 specializations against yours which is only 1.
so technically fireteam still stomps cause fireteam has overall 16 perk points im counting spec in there too and pred has 4.
People who support the fact keeping it locked for each class are people who think asymmetrical game like predator can work like this without being repetitive… it already is lmao…
For the disc the only nerf I would suggest is to lower the HP of the disc some since you now have 3, nothing too substantial but enough that it doesn’t take 3 extended mags from the 1911 with scout dualist.
As for shotguns, they could have a disorienting effect on the pred. The stronger and lower rate of fire on the shotgun the better the effect. This could allow the FT member with it to be somewhat a support for the team that helps to disorient the pred or have that quick saving grace to be able to dodge a melee attack at the last second.
#1 I think it’s just a dirty cheap and stupid thing
#2 Every FT can make a mistake and recover a lot faster and better than the Pred when he does
#3 It still probably won’t save preds that walk in on a 4 man team, but it’ll at least give a chance to recover
#1 It would give shotguns something unique that would make people use them but to each their own.
#2 Pred can recolver faster(my opinion), just not from a massive mistake like going like a dumdum inside the house with players alive and able to block the door.
#3 Preds should not walk in and survive even if nobody blocks it. Preds should melt from 4 people coordinated fire right into them.
I don’t fear anything about this game, BUT:
I never had a game in the last years, that made my heart beat and my hands shake that crazy.
Whenever I play against my own team as Pred, I’ll sit there for at least half an hour like:
Adding weather effects like a thunderstorm, nighttime, etc would be really cool and give a whole other feeling!
Wasn’t talking about shotguns at all there, strictly body blocking.
No a pred probably won’t survive walking in on a 4 man team, I said that. Chasing 1 and then getting pinned in a corner though? I just feel buildings shouldn’t be COMPLETELY off limits to pred as they basically are now
