Fix the predator NOW

#21

And THAT! That right there, is EXACTLY whats wrong with this game.
As the Predator, you have no control over the pace of the game. Its all In the Fireteams hands, and i can tell you what. As someone thats been playing A LOT of Fireteam the last day and a half.
Those Mofos sprint…

As the Pred, finding the fireteam is a pain in the ass, then you have to hope around from tree to tree zapping at them trying to ware them down and make them use up their heals n ammo(even though healing items are literally EVERYWHERE), you hope and pray they split up and you’re in the right place at the right time to be able to capitalize on it if they do because you cant dare take on more that one at a time or else you’ll either get mirked in the blink of an eye or survive and have to waste the rest of the match looking for the alleged Pigs that are rumored to be roaming the forest, all the while, YOU are trying to keep ip with the fireteam because they have full control over the pace of the match…

The whole concept of an Asymmetrical game is that one player is OP and scary and the other players have to work together to survive and escape…
Example; a round of Juggernaut in A classic Halo game…

But somehow, some way Illfonic got confused and gave all the power to the wrong side…
the Pred was supposed to be the Juggernaut, not the fire team…
This is fucking “Last year: the sucking” all over again…

Why are we using excuses that the Predator is not weak the predator is weak. The Predator is a superior species we don’t do enough damage the net gun is a joke.the cloak is decent needs to be more translucent. You’re super loud. And then you have fireteam. The Scout is garbage all you do is Spam spot. They have way too many heals. You shouldn’t be revived.if ur dead this is not apex legends. The fire team needs limited resources there shouldn’t be a Parry. The fire team needs to feel stressed the need to worried about the predator I need to be more Tactical worried about where they’re popping their head we playing a predator shouldn’t feel stressed.but u do make a good point tho

I’m honestly confused. I’ve played games as the Predator and done well, even wiped the enemy team a few times, but I feel like I still need to be very careful. Yet I’ve played more than a few matches recently where the Predator came in guns blazing and my entire squad concentrated fire on him and he wiped the team. Maybe glitches or lag but I felt like we hit most of our shots. Was hunter class with the combistick. Combistick seems a little op? Idk, maybe the rest of the team didn’t hit shots as well as I did, but they seemed competent enough. Predator seems somehow weak and op at the same time.

That’s not accurate. They can only respawn once and it takes at least one surviving member to activate the respawn. And if you’re only as far as unlocking the war club, I can assure you, you aren’t a skilled Predator user. Takes more than that.

Your team is just missing, that’s all. Iv been in both sides and as the Predator have gotten lit the f**k up trying to combistick the whole team. It’s not nearly as viable a strategy as some think if your opponents are of decent skill. If a Pred comes in to try and wipe everyone out with the combistick and the remaining FT members focus him, he WILL go down or at the very least, hit second win giving u time to revive every one.

Well said Agent 47

I honestly don’t know if this is saying that the predators weak or too strong.
Also this forum is for bugs not for general topics it’s not really a bug if they want the predator to be strong or the fire team to be strong that’s just their game design.

%100 agree I played by myself in a private AI session because there’s just no point in trying to find games any more. Already at Level 31

I, didn’t even know you could do that haha.

I deff don’t think he’s too strong, but I’m still not sure he’s “weak”. I’m thinking the fire team just needs their attention focused a bit more on the mission. IDK, maybe make the AI stronger or more numerous? Maybe have objectives that force the FT to split? IDK, I will say I’m seeing more Predator wins tonight(from both myself and those I’m playing against) than I did last night. My last game I just played started out with my teammates talking smack about how we were gonna kill the Pred and how weak he was, then legit 5 mins later we’re all dead.

I really feel like it all feels case by case because not many of us can get a game to play both sides to really get a feel of how balanced things really are. I feel like it would be a little different if like matchmaking was better. Your constant Pred plays would give you a better idea and your constant fire team plays would give you a better idea because its all consistent…but thats just a theory. 😂

#33

I do agree with this statement.
I feel like there needs to be more AI, more missions in the match, ways for Fireteam to split.
I feel like half the time people do a bad job as the Predator is because they lose sight the Fireteam, myself included.
I feel like it’s super easy to let the Fireteam slip away.
So when the Fireteam makes noise, i.e. gunfire, talking on the mic, talking over comms, it’s easier for the Predator to find them.
I won a game because that one guy who always plays music in the back of their games gave their whole team away.

Oh I meant the post. I have no problems fighting as or against the predator. Even if my whole team is dead I’m getting to exfil because if even one person makes it out the predator loses. You don’t have to fight him, this isn’t EVOLVE. Just use stealth if you have to (this goes for both sides) to get the mission done. Most people don’t know you can one shot stealth kill players it’s just a bit of an animation longer than fast claim but shorter than long claim.

Only issue I have with the predator is that everybody can disarm his gauntlet bomb that’s not even cool it defeats the purpose of u trying to run to survive it’s like the solders don’t fear the predator and it shouldn’t be like that

You cant even kill one of the teammates cause expirienced players always stick together. It doesent matter how you try to kill them if all 4 guns are shooting on the pred there is no chance left to hide or heal. AI are standing around doing nothing just a few single shots and its done for him. This game is based on 2020 tecnology so AI should be hard to kill.

I always mute those guys.
No one wants to hear their trash music… lol

Lmao. You’re the one who talked the big game about how “no one wants to come across you as Predator” yet you’re here whining you can’t kill anyone. So are you really that good? It’s highly doubtful. You don’t even know the f’ing basics as you thought the FT was respawning multiple times. This is how I know your calls for nerfing/buffing are a joke, you don’t have the experience to form an educated opinion. And I’d be careful before getting your hopes up that there’s going to be some massive balance rework. People like you said the exact same thing during the trial and the devs came back and said, nah our data shows a 50/50 win/loss split between the Pred and Fire team. I think a few tweaks here and there is likely all we’ll get.
