I always love how people say melee is so easy and takes no skill but as pred you not only have to be smart to properly use it but you also have to fight against the melee tracking which leaves you damn near immobile. Not to mention if just one FT knows how to “skillfully” mash the heavy knife attack with insane parry windows they’re considered parry gods. If melee was as easy and skill less as people claim then why do they get melted in seconds.
HEY ILLFONIC

I’ve learned the ways of the quick shot with the caster… you won’t see those lasers ever.
as it should. melee is reserved for one or two players at the most. literally every movie has preds constantly shooting at range and engaging on melee just against one opponent… JFC did y’all guys not watch the movies?
Give us fucking hell-hounds to fucking flush you out and chase you down
Anyway… every pred who’s worth a cent or two has been playing ranged since they game came out
Dude… I tried a private match against elite PC players with 200% HP for pred and I meleed them. I felt bad. I tried a lot of things to try and “balance it out” with them and can tell you this… if me, as a sucky newb pred, could win against them with just insta-charged plasma caster or 200 HP and melee… yeah… pred buffs need to be taken with a lot of care. I held back in a lot of the matches because I was feeling I was too OP and I kinda noticed some of them were not comfortable with it.
Honestly, I don’t think pred needs any buffs in PUBS. Is pretty OP as it is right now for anyone who knows what is doing.
Ohhh that you can’t win against that squad that knows what they are doing? Well… you fucking shouldn’t.
Not possible. There must have been somebody sniping as well. The sawz50 damage is the biggest problem of why masks get knocked off too early. There is a perk called protection.
So ft should automatically win huh?
Nah, that’s stupid.
It is beyond retarded to think that ft should automatically have the advantage.
Like fucking moronic as hell.
I can’t even begin to understand how someone can think something so stupid.
Cause neither side should have the guarentee.
Yes. There are just a couple weapons, perks, and specializations that are out of balance, but overall balance between predator vs fireteam is very close. There are just too many people that think they should defeat every fireteam no matter the matchup, mission, or skill level.

Sometimes ft gets one shotted as a support with a pc blast.
Dont know how or why, but its happened to me at full health.
Yes theres a perk.
Dont matter.
Shouldnt be so easy to destroy.
Probably an exploding barrel.
that is probably a result of a ping problem because damage on this game is server sided. You may think you were moving around when in your opponent’s view you were standing still or running into a wall.
Door swings both ways. Happens to preds as well.
Is both a good thing and a bad thing. Is a good thing because that means no matter if someone “hacks” the game, they can’t increase the damage input/output. Bad because, well… during brief disconnections shit like that can happen.
Ya I never thought it was hacking.
I’ve been hit by it, and I’ve done it is the thing.
But when I’ve dropped a full health support with one pc blast, granted it was a direct hit, I’m like wtf how?
A delay really cant fully explain it for me cause I only fired once.
So eh.
In the cases I’m talking about, nothing else was around.
As someone who loves to take advantage of barrels I can tell if that’s gonna add extra damage.
maybe he wasn’t full health. something’s not adding up. maybe a bug. unless it happens every time, something else must be going on
Right…or fix melee tracking and make it a a viable tool for the Predator.
While I get what you’re saying about melee being a 1v1 1v2 type scenario…it’s a video game and there’s literally no mechanism in game to separate and isolate the fireteam. So melee (which keeps getting more and more weapon options) is useless the majority of the time without a way to create those 1v1 scenarios.

Its very rare.
To me personally its only happened once.
I was full health, no where near barrels, no a.i.
I was support, 175 hp.
I see pred, go to shoot him, BOOM I’m instantly down.
I was like hory sheit wat da fak.
And theres been like 3 times out of the…
700 matched I’ve played?
God is love you know my exact match number.
But out of hundreds of matches, I’ve downed 3 people from full health.
So it’s very rare.
I’m guessing that’s what happened to my mask but eh.
Whatever. Lol
No. Melee is fine as it is.
You can be spotted for 27 seconds str8 from one player with the tracker perk.
So, I may not see the laser, but I can still shoot the green icon on you, wherever you are.
oh yeah, sniper/spotter combo shit is broken. is annoying. but still… can’t get sniped behind a wall or a tree.
I learned to dodge arrows by playing ft… i use the same tactic for pred… when spotted I fear more grenades than sniper shots
Melee is “tolerable” and able to be adjusted to as is. It’s not fine.

Whenever I see a grenade flying towards my position, I always leap away, 'cause 'nades and rocket launcher with Unleashed just shreds.
And yeah, you can’t get sniped behind the wall, but you can “eat” a grenade still. xD
