I just want some builds. How are you fighting them? We all know these are the hardest matches, so how do we beat them? What combination gives us the best chance of facing off against these hunters? I don’t wanna be salty, I wanna fight back viciously, even if I ultimately trigger my bomb for honor
How are we to beat pc death squads? *Brainstorm*
It depend of a lot of things. If there is a sniper among them, use a scout with a bow analitic, long range perk and do hit and run. But there is no magic build, you need to practice again and again.
Same as 1 picture is worth a thousand words, 1 video is worth a thousands pictures. I learned more just by watching some players stream on discord while playing than talking about it.
I have a playlist of 60+ vids of matches vs pc premades, if you wanna see about my builds see the ones that have the “Best Build” on the title, usually I do commentary showing a loss and a win and talking about what led to each result.

Scout is far from the best Class to use vs them.
Best way to beat:
Git gud

I mean for basic players with no dlc, of course I’m not gonna use a shitty scout against psychobabas death squad
They can just use the Default Hunter Class, its better.
too easy to shoot as a sniper, too big
Zerk and Viking classes are worse. Hunters at least have more health, a Scout will disappear faster than you can blink against a premade (Sam tried using a Scout and that’s nearly what happened in every engagement).

Judging from the classes the few players that beat us use (in general pubs)
Elder
Alpha
City Hunter
Most hunters will die, but then again most use that class because they are new. There have been a few instances of hunters beating us, but is more common to happen with the other classes I mentioned.
The game is also very fast and the damage is extremely high for both sides, sometimes is just a matter of luck and the tides turn.
I personally use Valkyrie, which IMO is the best pred class ATM, but others may think differently. It all depends on your playing style.
And for the love of god… don’t try melee against premades… you’ll get melted in seconds if you don’t know what the hell you are doing.
If you like up-close combat (like me) try jumping around them while constantly shooting plasma or bow and doing wristblade attacks. Keep in mind this only works on a team that spread a little and give each other some distance. In open spaces or against teams that are tight together all the time this may not be effective at all, specially if they have a support with the 20% damage reduction passive.

Valkyrie and Cleo are probably the top two right now. They buffed Cleo’s speed so she can tank more damage while being faster, also has the benefit of having the Stalker spec. Valk is just as good, if not faster and deals more melee damage (but as you said, only do it if you know what you’re doing).
Winning against PC premades has nothing to do with playing certain Predator classes or builds.

Cleo might be faster now but her stamina is still too low, might need to use adrenal boost on her if you want to escape chasers. Elder is overall a better option for a Stalker Plasma build imo due to his perk points.
Valky doesn’t have a passive of extra melee damage, you need to put Ghost or Fearless for her to do more damage, she does have a good amount of hp, speed and stamina but she can’t carry traps.
Using the good old Hunter with the downrange, medic and large pouch combo can help a lot. That was/is Thunder’s main build to use vs premades for a reason. His winrate was always higher than when he tried builds with City or Valky.
Bow headshots
But at that point you might as well put that time into a balanced competitive game.

I was watching Shroud play BF the other night, he kept dying like a noob lol…and he’s a competitive pro gamer with titles under his belt. But you know phg will make you feel like you’re a good player because you’re able to win 99% of your matches.
You know there is something terribly wrong with a game when you can go weeks without losing a match.
