Incapacitated Fireteam balance suggestion.

#1

Hello fellow gamers,

I hope you are enjoying Predator Hunting Grounds as much as I am - this game is totally awesome and was well worth the wait. I don’t usually post on game forums but I wanted to make a suggestion to make the game a little more balanced.

It’s great and all that when incapacitated the fireteam is able to move around and try to make it to their squad mates and get revived back into battle – but they need something to make predator a bit nervous and consider the situation before just walking in and collecting the trophies.

The most common predator strategy I have been seeing is Berserker class and Combistick – they just jump in and incapacitate everyone 1 by 1 and then collect trophies while the 4 incapacitated team can do nothing but crawl around. Give them a pistol to pull out when incapacitated, even if it does just minor damage only, it gives the fireteam a fighting chance to get revived by a defenseless squad mate and scare the predator off.

I’ve been in too many matches now where you see all 4 team just crawling around waiting to be collected. Average match time becomes 1-3 minutes which is just no fun.

Thanks for reading

Agreed. Alternative or even in addition to having a pistol could be having the field syrette be used when downed. Maybe using both doses gets you up?

I’m gonna give you this parry instruction manual hold on lemme find it… just kidding but really once a ft learns to parry ANY melee done by pred no matter what class or weapon is useless and obviously wouldn’t be down long if the ft members stick together anyway and this has been pointed out again and again and again.

You may respond with “oh preds can just net” fts allies can just knife the net and it’s gone, they only thing they don’t have a one up for is the plasma caster well unless you count the sniper rifles that can blast the mask of a predator within seconds if given the opportunity making it potentially useless too.
