FT can shoot while downed

#21

Any time you see a predator claiming something is weak they are comparing it to facing a 4 man premade of pro players.

#22

Its a slower elder sword with no big hit in the combo that you have to worry about parrying. Instead you bleed for like 6 dmg in exchange for upfront dmg (oh no). Not a good trade off considering the TTK compared to elder sword.
You can parry katana light attack whenever your hp dips a bit, syringe and then you’re fine because its flat dps is bad & if they use the heavy swing just backpedal and unload. Didnt buy the dlc because sword sucks + pred sucks as zerk 2.0. Queue times are almost back to normal already because all the samurai’s got parried.

Elder sword is better in the hands of a good player. The rest prefer the katana (more so since its new and looks cool) or combistick (ignoring the thrown aspect). Elder sword is good for coming from behind and doing 2 hits combos and leaping away (mostly). That takes some skill. This is why I see the elder sword only on rare ocasions.

Oh and the samurai is somewhat better then the berserker. He leaps better for one (from what I noticed, did not buy it myself).

Never know with illfonic that might be a buff for them 🤣

Edit: would be a cool perk if balanced correctly lol

#25

its fuking weak… i only play with friends usually. We all agree pred is weak asf…

#26

Go against any pc premade on comms… they have the best guns and loadouts your not gonna do shit.

#27

When my friends destroyed bloodthirsty lord 2 times he quit so really he is a stream whore… thats about it

#28

Links to the footage 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

If the server said he was down, then he should have been down regardless of what the FT client thinks. If there is a discrepancy, the server would try to correct it ASAP. At least that is how server authority is supposed to work.

I agree this is lag or more likely a bug/glitch. At first I was thinking maybe it was AI that was damaging @YUPPERS , but you can see the muzzle flash from the FT gun firing.

Seems extra buggy, even for this game.

He was shot in the fucking head 25 sec ago… your telling me he had 25000 ping… Draedark these people have zero knowledge of how servers work

#31

On top of my saltyness these past 2 weeks… reason for my outbursts is i want this game to succeed but crashing on pipeline every other prdd game is getting ridiculous… and the bow is pissing me off to on crouched ft members. Wish when i ducked all bullets would not register

#32

I had this happen to me as the ft. Just randomly. Sucked for the pred because I had the minigun out at the time, and infinite ammo while downed… couldn’t stop shooting either.

#33

I agree. Handguns are useless except for the revolver. Aiming should be restricted too, but being able to shoot would be nice, specially if there’s only two left and even if the predator is not close, there’s a gazillion AI’s that need to be taken care of before attempting a revival.

Also falling down from a rock, building, etc. while downed should instantly kill you.

#34

So maybe lag more in the idea that a packet got lost, the packet that says to disable weapons when the one that says to down the FT was not lost.

You would assume even then that there would be some additional logical checks after that (client and or server) but apparently there are not, or they were also not working.

Dopes anyone know or able to contact the FT and ask what it looked like from their end?

#35

i got stuck the next game under the building as pred jumping to a tree… then I had to sit after a 3 man wipe untill min 7 I finally got out by jumping to a different tree…if the FT saw me they wouldnt be able to shoot through and vise versa

#36

Handguns aren’t too bad at close range, but the ammo pool is terribly low.

#37

there is no reason to use pistols except the magnum… just like there is no reason to use wrist blades

#38

I had this happen a couple weeks before the last patch. I downed someone and they were still able to fire their minigun.

#39

ya… didnt know illfonic was still buffing FT

#40

Its both. its a bug cause by lag. This isn’t unique. It is directly correlating to lag. I’m no tech person, so I don’t know all the technical terms, but ill explain it as best I can for @YUPPERS
He lagged out, You downed him, server sent the crawl and no gun information to him, he lagged back in missing the information, The crawl is a passive so when he tried to move he can only crawl, he then pulled the trigger to shoot because the no gun is only sent once he didn’t get it and could shoot, by killing him it activated death information overriding the crawl and no gun commands with death commands. Had he been revived, it would have also corrected himself, because next time he would have been downed, the no gun would have been resent. He only needed to lag for one second for this bug to occur, but I assume you didn’t know he was lagging and took advantage of that, right?
