Giving Predator tech to FT? OFFICIAL POLL

And I will like it when the Preds inevitably get the human weapons (as shown in the Shame Black movie).

Right, Iām all for my boy Dutch having a mask on his shoulder a wrist blade knife or on the off chance the disc, but it would be a tracking nightmare ingame if you cant distinguish between gun fire and predator attacks with plasma caster it would be hard to tell where to fire at some points in time. For example camp alarmed and reinforced with a squad has a pred lying in wait while the fireteam comes, if my team is using plasma weapons how can I zero in on the predator it would be hellish, and with most fireteams I seem to get being potatoes in quickplay, Iād rather run through a briar patch

Not predator weapons.
However, there should be human weapons augmented by predator tech. Also, it would be fun to see these weapons randomly appear in the red crates during regular hunt matches.

Three pronged laser sight?
I feel like a new mode would be best suited if FT wants pred tech. This is where the stargazer vs OWLF stuff can happen. The caveat being pred gets even better tech. Upgraded biomasks, cloak, wrist computer, blades, blasters the whole nine.

This is absolutely not happening unless you have some sort of source for what I can only describe as āFanboy wankingāā¦
Canāt see it happening at all.

The prequel novel has Dutch using a wrist mounted Plasma Caster. Is that a good source?.. the prequel to the game.
Never seen it, other fans warned me off. The prequel novel to that movie was decent imo, I read it to learn more about STGZ and rather like how it played out.

Itās called fanboy service in the mainstream, but I prefer your takeš¤£
How I wish I could go back to those innocent daysš
And hell yeah, from what Iāve been told the novel is awesome as hell. Picks up directly after Predator 2, and fills in some interesting spots we see in the game. Iāve got a copy but havenāt started it yet.
I meant more of a game insider source.
A lore source and a game source are two different things as such a ridiculous item for fireteam is going to upset the game mechanics.
The novela, graphic novels and comics take a hell of a lot of creative license that crosses boundaries this game simply cannot.
Well it is a game source, itās the prequel to the game.
The stuff about perks is just one way to add Pred stuff, I actually assume illfonic has their own plan and way to balance things like an arm mounted Plasma Casterā¦ maybe it has a shitty recharge rate 30 seconds between shots, maybe it only has 5 shots total.
I am pretty confident things will be added, the screen writers pretty much all thought it was a good idea to have humans turn the Predās tech against them.
Predās will get other things down the line and not all of the weapons will be shared between the two groups.
Well we will have to respectfully agree to disagree on this point, I donāt think lore drives game mechanics and game mechanics donāt drive lore.
If that was the case Iām sure Dutch would have entered the game with a functioning plasma-caster and wrist computer.
To be clear, I wouldnāt mind this so much in a specific game mode like some sort of ācapture the techā, where the FT must capture pred tech and the predator must stop them. If the FT succeeds then they get a working caster to take down the pred etc. A bit like obtaining the Pamela sweater to take down Jason in F13.
But definitely not the core game, that would be a step too far.
The FT already have superior tech than the Predsā¦ They can see across the whole map, their ranged attacks are immune to physics, and they can move through solid rock under the ground while shooting through it. Any FT with a brain would take your pred tech and throw it on the ground and spit in your face.
Definitely doable, Iām not against differing points of view.

Actually thereās a thought for a game mode.
FT track down a gauntlet or mask and can use it to find the Predatorās ship (maybe Stargazer has a compound or lab these items are in?). The FT member with the mask or gauntlet is then the tracker and the other members have to follow them while the Predator has to take them out before they reach the craft and call for OWLF backup. If the players reach it the Predator has to boot the ship to escape while staying near it fighting off surviving FT and OWLF, and the FT have to kill the Predator before that happens to secure the ship.
You could get a game mode out of that using Predator gear without it becoming a load out option. Just someone gets to use the gear in order to help locate a Predator ship.

no they are already shredding the predator donāt buff them
they already have a way better tech XD
A game mode like this would be interesting
I wonder how having Pred weapons would be a buff to anything but melee range? Iām pretty sure trading a Hammerhead for a combi stick or even the bow would lower the dps significantly. Pretty sure it wouldnāt even change the meta, it would mostly be a cool option and further the amount of challenges in planning/hunting.
The smart disc would be a neat way to recon and search.
The Pred could steal back a thrown smart disc or combi if they wanted, possibly even without trading their load out. Reclaiming tech is a thing that they do (when theyāre not handing it out).
The dps thing really gets me, it would just be so much lower. The melee weapons would probably do less dmg in FT hands too, not as strong.
FT using war club and Predator parrying LMAO
A good way to balance it would be to reward Predators for reclaiming, the weapons of fallen hunters, with a trophy that belonged to that Hunterā¦ something Mythic.
The reward could just be a Field Locker, so a chance at a mythic.
