Maybe watch some Predator gameplay and see how players do to win matches?
When I was starting I watched some vids from Shifo youtube channel, then started recording matches as well, if you want to take a look the channel is Samhain13.
Most videos are from before all the Predator nerfs, so things are harder now lol.
Right now some stuff I do:
Set off the alarms in all camps that you can at the start of the match, the AI can do some good damage to the fireteam, they can be the Predator’s greatest ally on this game. Waiting for the fireteam to be fighting the AI to attack is smart move. Oh use target isolation at the start too.
Easiest way to take them out is by targeting the ones that happen to be alone or busy doing something else of course, don’t melee rush if the fireteam is all together, and even if you happen to get one down, claiming him right away might not be best idea, even if its a quick one. Doing some fast melee attacks then jumping away fast can be an option with you want a melee build, you will get one down eventually.
Careful to not get stuck, some building/rooms that only have one door are deathtraps, the fireteam can easily block the way, then you can’t leave and are probably dead. If they are camping inside, use the plasma caster, the splash damage is good against that.
Kills any piggies that you see, they will be marked on the map if you need to eat them later.
Destroy first aids or ammo craits you see with the plasma caster.
If your health is getting too low, just fall back and recover. Getting second wind will only slow the hunt even more.
Something usefull is getting one guy down then using him as bait instead of claiming him, jump away, get a good spot, and with long range damage the others that try to help him down.
Or kill the guy really fast while he is down with spear throw, arrows or plasma, so the fireteam stays in a disadvantage with only 3 members. I have sacrificied my second wind for that a few times and it worth it, best after the reinforcements though. Placing traps near the guy is good too, but the best place for traps is where they are calling the reinforcements, when they come back they will be trapped right away.
If you get parried move/ jump away and you can try hitting again from the sides or back of the guy, or just shot him with something.
Large Pouch is good sure, but sometimes you get luck in a match and kill like 3 pigs are the start, so you might not even need the 4 medkits.
The Warclub is terrible, don’t use that thing. Elder Sword is a great melee weapon, Spear is not as good but it can be used for long range too so there is that. The bow can be great at close range, shoot close, jump away, repeat.
Other tips might depends on which loadout you want to try as Predator.
Adrenal Boost, Fearless or Impenetrable are good if you want a melee build, for long range: Energy Cell, Downrange. Usually Scouts work better for range and Berserkers for close combat but you can still mix things up.
I think the best Predator class right now is probably City Hunter looking at the stats.
