Illfonic, why do you hate the predator?

Is the dumbest designed Asymmetrical game i think i ever played. Fireteam has all the cards.
They have complete control of the pace of the match, and the pred(The character the game is named after, and the main Antagonist) is weak as shit, has the worst tracking skill i think i ever seen in a game, and gets shredded all the time…
Well not all the time. Sometimes the Pred is too busy getting hung up in the broken trees or waiting fro the trash “Target Isolation” to recharge so there might be a little bit of COMBAT in this game about Soldiers vs. and Alien monster… 😂🤣😂

THIS! This is why when my friends ask me “Should i get it.” I tell them to wait. Because in its current state, this game isnt worth 40$… 🙄


BTW. That super fast death is the “So OP” Berserker predator equipped with both the Impenetrable perk, and the Combistick… So all these threads about it being unkillable, are clearly retarded…

I watched the gameplay you provided and you approached the game poorly. In a lot of ways.

This isn’t a fighting game, or a game where the fireteam is helpless.

If you want to know how to play the Predator, go watch Predator 1, and 2. Only once in either movie does the Predator engage in direct combat with its prey. Otherwise it’s hit and run. When it does directly engage, it’s 1v1, after the majority of the prey has been wiped out.

Going forward I’ll suggest some changes to your playstyle, which should hopefully be more fun for you:

  1. Engage from a distance with charge, direct plasma caster shots. Finish off the targets from a distance with this method.
  2. Stay above and around your prey, never at an angle directly to them. Most fireteam members scan tree branches at a roughly 45’ angle from their position, because the directional audio isn’t so accurate as to provide much more than that.
  3. Stay still, stalk, and observe your targets. You get more points for sustained scans.
  4. Don’t bumrush. Instead, retreat.
  5. When a match starts, move to the center and wait in Thermal Vision. Gunshots are visualized as bubbles in this vision mode. Use this to locate mudded up prey.
  6. Play with subtitles on, so that you can more accurately listen to NPC and fireteam audio queues.
  7. Use headphones! Over-ear seems to work best.
  8. Play the Hunter. Berserker is slow and loses out on the balanced skill benefits that the Hunter has.
  9. Don’t try to wipe out the team in one skirmish. Each fireteam member increases in point value as a match progresses. There’s more honor and EXP in a powerful foe.
  10. Drop beartraps from above to immobilize targets for your Plasma Caster blasts.
  11. Drop beartraps near downed prey to draw in their allies!
  12. Use the Mimic Wheel. The audio is played directly and non-directional to the players. You can use it to cover some amount of noise under specific scenarios.
  13. Don’t bring the Combi Stick! Your best bet is a net gun with the bow or the Smart Disc. Players are learning to parry too consistently.
  14. Take out one target, then leave. Don’t overextend.
  15. Try to have fun. The devs are doing their best to make a piece of art. Don’t be entitled, or rude because you aren’t getting exactly what you want.

If you want a Predator themed brawling game, go play Mortal Kombat’s dlc for the character. This game aims to emulate the movie, and it does so effectively.

Great write up. You’re dead on.

Too weak, not enough weapon, can not modify weapon just color, same for the predator, weapon long distance to hard and to weak to use. Equipment is like,… few choice also. This can have been great, feel more i lose money

Wat!?

Yeah, I’ll definitely suggest staying inside the heat vision for more than you are. The visualization of audio makes tracking much easier. Keep your sensitivity cranked up as well, so you can turn on the spot as necessary.

Edit: To be honest I rarely if ever rely on Target Isolation. It’s mediocre at best. Unreliable compared to just patience and awareness.

My last match, i went to the Wrecked Train and found Gun fire ASAP.
That was VERY HELPFUL, thank you very much.

You actually just gave me an idea: what about the desire for branches higher up in the trees? Not too high obviously but certain ones having higher spots allowing for a more birds eye view if ya know what i mean?

After watching this I’m a bit concerned with your comment, after literally hearing so many sound indications and you literally hear grenade launchers, Also sitting one place on the map isn’t very productive. Overall this comment is unreasonable considering you seem like you have no idea what you’re doing

Have you actually taking the time to read what you said, lol when you literally played like a bot

#14

My phone does that shit all the time… ducking autocorrect…

#15

I played like s guy that was relying too much on the Target Isolation…

#16

So why the big comment ?

#17

Because theres A LOT wrong with this game. Namely, the Pred sucks…

Have you looked at the results of that questioner everyones filling out? Sure some people thing the pred is OP, but thats the typical/usual suspects(FT mains that want the game to stay easy), the vast majority ate people that see how weak the pred is.

So I can actually say that scout is the only weak pred,however playing predator like a bot and then making this status how there’s so much wrong with the game and blah blah its childish honestly. Speaking from experience and considering I only play fireteam I can tell you pred is not weak
