I’m bored, so I’m just gonna suggest some changes Illfonic could make to the pred classes to make them better. I will start with the Scout predator class.
The fireteam’s scout is very fast and is a glass cannon because of the duelist specialisation. The Scout predator should be similar in the sense that it should be one of the fastest classes and should be a glass cannon. In its current state, the Scout is nearly useless against good fireteams.
To improve the Scout class, I would suggest increasing its speed even more than its current speed. Make it so that it is the fastest pred class in the game. To make it into a glass cannon, perhaps give it a passive 5% damage increase for all long range weapons. Or give it a passive 5% damage for all melee attacks, so that it could serve as a hit and run class. I think these changes would help to make it a more viable class.
