The trident would’ve been better as a gear item. Illfonic also could’ve brought in the shuriken which could operate in the same way as the trident throw.
Gladiator Predator DLC just dropped

Also, I think this is why they nerfed the bow. They wanted the trident to replace it and be a more appealing option for people

It makes sense. Still a stupid decision though nonetheless.

Yeah, they should’ve never nerfed the bow. The trident probably isn’t on the same level as the bow

They should just let people choose whatever weapon is most appealing for them between the two. This Trident is basically just the Bow but with less DPS potential from range technically because of the delay between throws from what I’ve seen. I haven’t bought it myself yet so I can’t say for certain yet. But because I’m kinda cracked with Combi throws I think it will suit me fine

If they nerf bow as badly as this spear then they really lowered the bar on the these weapons. Predator power trippin no more.:(

From what I’ve seen from Sam’s testing so far, the trident works really good at finishing a downed player. Three hits tends to do it, and if not you can keep picking up thrown sticks to basically have infinite throws until the player is dead.

I think I might finally be able to adopt a full-blown Spearmaster playstyle by throwing the normal Combistick & just following it up with Trident throws to kill people very aggressively🤣
Oooooh…yeah that might be something. I’m not sure which class would be best for that, I feel something fast like Wolf would be best. I run would with Adrenal, Medic and Down Range and have always used combi/bow and that worked well for me, so I think combi/trident would be good for that class as well. Maybe Bionic with Stalker as well to stack the spec with Down Range, since trident throws are so weak at base damage?

Usually when I’m running an aggressive class I go with the likes of Cleo Stalker, Scar Stalker, Celtic Assassin, Mr Black Vicious or Wolf Assassin depending on the perks & the team I’m against.
My playstyle is generally very aggressive anyway but depending on your class & perks you will have to adapt a bit.
For this particular style I’ll probably end up trying it with them all.
Tomorrow.

I find Gladiator good honestly. Ive good results with him.
Trident + Netgun.
I’m a little disappointed with his Perk points. I would have liked a good 13
09 is limit.
Especially since having 15 gear points is useless. I would then have preferred 13 gear points and 11 perks points.

It seems to me that I have already beaten solid players with him.
After all, I’m not new to the game.
Gladiator is not the stronger, its sure.
But he’s not bad.
im not sure if what you consider to be solid is like even mid to me
but if anyone wants to test gladiator in privates vs me, add me

we know that FT is cheated as much as possible anyway.
And that they can beat all classes very easily.
I know it very well.
Either they are cheated, or it’s the Predas who are not strong enough. Afterwards, if the FTs want more of a challenge, they can stop playing the cracked weapons or specs.
I tend to be pretty aggro as well, so the idea of combi/trident and just going throw ham sounds exciting, but yeah I want to see which class would benefit from that playstyle the most. I’m guessing Scar for pure damage, Wolf for speed.

I’ll probably run it on my Scout Analytic TBH get that permanent buff from scanning coupled with downrange, adrenal, and modified reserve.
Go speedy hit and run tactics 😁
