I just had a match where I was ‘bullying’ the enemy team. They were pretty bad and it was alot of fun cause I’d stop trying so hard and play around. I actually downed 3 of them within five minutes, which is awesome for me, and I let the fourth one revive. I jumped and ran around and allowed it…
They ended up all dead on helicopter extraction when I blew myself up. lol
For one, both sides have the health pool of a fucking toddler.
Viking needs stamina meaning that if you’re fighting melee you need to get in and out fast. I’d suggest using stamina perks and learning the maps to figure out the best locations to flee as well as get in a hit and leap out.
I personally find combistick and katana redundant. Combistick is good for surprise hits from the throw but you definitely have better damage dealers and for less stamina. FT favors rifles which means they get in a lot of hits. Think of your loadout like a primary and secondary weapon. Your wristblades will work fine but what is the primary tool you’re using to get the job done? I personally favor the katana for bleed damage since even if you get in only one hit you still have DOT. You want to wear down the FT, waste its resources. That way they either don’t have enough time to call for back up or if they do they’re gonna loose people on the way out.
To enable alarms just go into camps and let the guards run to the alarm. Let them pull the alarm and then leave. Once FT arrives they’ll be focusing more on the guards than they will you. Katana pairs nicely with this because they’re going to need to move to spots to avoid fire while receiving DOT which speeds up your wasting of FT’s resources. You’re more mobile than they are so use what you know playing as FT to set traps and ambushes where they go.
I think your perks are fine but given Viking can take a beating I’d recommend swapping at least one of those for Large pouch.
This is much more important than many people understand. You should know the mission progressions, location of guaranteed resources, and, most of all, you need to be able to see yourself through the eyes of the fireteam.. This will help you maximize each engagement, because you’ll make better decisions about when to initiate attacks, quick claim, retreat, push the pressure, or heal.
Thanks for the shout out about the Guide @Noktrum
If anyone is interested, most of my Twitch streams are simply me playing with every predator in a rotation, trying to effectively use different styles, weapons, and specializations each hunt.
You don’t, just keep running and pray.
It doesnt matter. The maps are small and missions are short. You have to get that first kill in 2 min.
Not every match is a sweat fest. Let’s actually try to help predator players play better. Even if they don’t always win, it’s still better than having no clue what tactics are actually effective against most teams.
No problem pal. I often refer ppl to your page. Myself and many others still think its a scandal that a member of community had to create a website with all the figures and stats - its Illfonics job to test it and tell us all that! But on the other hand you’ve made it so professionally, I honestly don’t believe Illfonic would match up to that. Best source of info about the game on Internet. Thanks for that!
Anyone find it weird Illfonic wont even list accurate numbers or numbers at all? Like what does a bar tell someone regarding how much health someone has to another? Like we’re talking about inaccurate stats for Isabelle but what does that bar even say? A more accurate way of doing this is enabling the players to view stats with numbers to get a better idea of how to build classes because saying a weapon that does 30 damage that does 40 with perks means more than a bar slightly becoming bigger. I’m just saying is that the stat page could use a rework so we’re not relying on a community guide or people looking into the files to see passives and the like.
THE ENEMY CANNOT PUSH A BUTTON IF YOU DISABLE HIS HAND!!
😆😂
Well, I am having alot of fun just goofing off with teams that aren’t try hard. I even let the last one live after playing around for a while. lol
The only one I can think of is the standard revive time. 5 seconds is way too long. Field Medic is like 1 second, so obviously that’s too fast. Illfonic needs to find a happy medium there.
The interaction times in general are too long, even with dexterous. Field medic almost feels like a hack lmao. What a crock of shit.
What perks are useless as a predator? I.E, how useful is the Impentrable/fearless/downrange and other perks that cost alot of points to use? Are they actually GOOD or do they provide very small bonuses?
Is there a table that has everything with all the stats for the perks?
It depends on what you want to do and with what class. Impenetrable, fearless, down range, large pouch, medic, dithered lense, adrenal boost and the leap perk are all good. I also like modified reserve on some of my builds and it’s only 2 points.
About to learn a thing or two :P
oh, rage quit after 1 minute
I am learning quite a bit from this thread, so its very helpful. It doesn’t really help against the really sweaty FT players who chase down the predator from the first encounter and basically can see it when its perfectly stealthed. I dont know if its hackers or graphic glitches, but im sitting still completely after a few seconds and they somehow still see me.
But I just leave as soon as I know its a sweaty team. I have so much snarky comments for the sweat… but its just not worth it so I just leave and queue again.
Its just quite easy to see, spot and track the predator, too much noise, blood trail.
