Is it possible to remove the bells?

Currently, the predator is designed to give its position away in an attempt to make it easier on bad fire team members to find and shoot the predator.
I personally find this immersion breaking more than anything.

I Post in the hopes to come together as a forum and find a way for this to work.

(Perhaps as a “Hard core mode”).

The ultimate challenge? Buffed ft damage vs buffed predator stealth and cunning?

I Envision a beautiful world, one were actions truly do have consequences for both teams.

Traps will break legs, preventing anything but a slow limp and easier to track you permanently, gun shots will slow you down even prevent you from leaping. Nets are inescapable on your own, but a sniper can break your mask with one shot if you aren’t careful. You can’t be seen moving when cloaked from 100 yards away but if you move within 30 yards you better be quick.

Your movements are now quiet, no louder than the ft when they run, you no longer click at all when the fireteam is near, your weapons no longer draw a line strait to you but pray you don’t get found, 1 mistake is all it takes for anyone.

I recommend increased gear for both teams, reduced ammo and health spawns for ft, buffed AI, fix the pigs only spawning next to the ft, any recommendations are appreciated.

Bells? :\

Yes Bells, as in anything that gives the predators position away.

The Predator doesn’t carry any bells, lol. Google search pictures for “bells” and you know what i mean.
Besides the “bells” i think your other ideas are very dumb and it doesn’t seem like you have thought them through completely considering the balance of the game.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean the clicking sounds in cloaked mode?
If that’s the case, i bet you haven’t even came up with the idea to even try get close the Fireteam without the cloak? Because that is the most effective way to approach the Fireteam by far, from my own experience too. And for the love of god, NEVER traverse through the trees when approaching the Fireteam, you’re basicly shouting: “Hi guys! Go ahead and shoot me!”.

🤯

Just flew right past em 😭

I’ve come to the conclusion that this game is incredibly balanced. Hear me out: we got people complaining that FT is OP; we’ve got people complaining that predator is OP. What does this tell us? That either side has the ability to completely dominate their opponent, so much so that it leads to a deluge of whining on these very forums.

Balance.

Idc - fight me irl, bro.

It tells me that bad predators and bad fireteam members are crying about getting killed. I don’t complain about either because I’m decent at both. Don’t mean I wouldn’t like to see a hard core mode that provides more of a challenge for better players.

@Yautjahunter

My last post wasn’t directed at you, or anyone specific. Just a general response. You just happened to be the person who posted before I did.

His other ideas aren’t dumb, they’d make an epic hardcore mode. And I agree, the predator doesn’t need to click so much. It’s annoying and gets u spotted even by ai

I 2nd the agreement the idea is not dumb at all i am pred main and have been wishing for a hardcore mode similar to what he said since day one.

AI attacking cloaked predator is very wrong in this games.

This need to stop

@kingjam3469 So you think it’s a great idea to stay handicapped for the rest of the round if you become the victim of a bear trap? Not being able to get away from the AI, not being able to seek shelter from the Predator, constantly being an easy target, not being able to reach the exfiltration area in time?
What would the point be to even continue playing? What is the fun in that? An epic hardcore mode you say? People would only quit playing this game, you have thought just as little about this as the creator of this thread has.
You also want gun shots to slow the Predator down and prevent leaping, so as soon as a Fireteam player manages to get a shot at the Predator the Fireteam wins? How many players don’t you think would only sit and scan the distance, shoot and simply walk up to the Predator and finish it off instead of completing objectives?
Not being able to escape nets on your own? How many Fireteam players have you seen sticking together and covering eachother since the release of this game, do you think this suggestion is realistic? One hit by the net gun and you’re dead… I know which weapon would be my favorite, i’d net the whole team up and go AFK when i’d play as Predator.
And snipers that can break your mask with one shot, lol, please…
The Predator’s laser being removed…

I think you’re mentally ill.

Creating a hard mode and balancing around different rules would take a lot of dev time away from the normal one and only a select few would even play it (something like the PS tournament).

Making the predator be a “ghost” frustrates people to no end. Try find people who get shoot with arrows and can’t find the predator and ask them how they feel(this is not about BOW being OP). Getting 1 shoot (increasing gun damage) frustrates people just as much.

Let them focus on adding more content for the normal mode before this game dies.

Here is my opinion about this Yautjahunter…

I think they should allow the predator to aproach the FT without making those noises.
then after the first attack he would start making them like it is right now.

my arguments are…

  • It makes no sense a creature (stalking one) to aproach making sounds like crazy
  • it could still be heard by the FT thanks to the sounds of footsteps if the player is careless in its aproach and don’t act smart by crouching or paying attention to ft’s position
  • this would allow smart and careful predator players to wisely aproach and lay down some bear traps, audio decoys or motion trackers and position themselves preparing for the first attack.

I believe this wouldn’t be a big change for fireteam cuz they generally look for the predator after the first attack. But to smart and stealth based killers that would be gold.

As much sense as FT yelling when they heal, when they mud up or whatever else. When I hear the female support I play yell when I try to get a quick heal in… I am like “shut up your crazy bimbo!” :) Its like she is yelling “KILL ME, I’M HERE” (Arnold).

I Agree.
They should get rid of these sounds FT members do as well.
The game would be a lot better without Predators and FT members giving their positions in such childish way!
Please illfonic, hear us!

Easy solution for the broken leg, have a fellow ft member bandage it up

The net idea is a great one, and if people die from it cuz they don’t stick together, so be it

Ok the bullets preventing leaping and slowing them down isn’t such a good idea

And this wouldn’t kill the player base if they made it a hardcore mode. Don’t like it? Just play the other modes then
