Is it some cheating PC or just the natural benefits that the game allows in this state? (PREDATOR in the treetops absolutely impossible)

#1

Hello,

In the last few days, I’ve been experiencing quite an unpleasant green hell from the game in the game, and I’m starting to doubt it.

What’s going on?

My gaming experience: I play with FT and my nephew is connected to me in the game, which can not be talked about otherwise than he is experienced in games, including shooting games. Then we have two other unknown PS4 players that I wouldn’t say were beginners. We start by jumping down the rope with helicopters. We will go a few tens of meters and we are already in close proximity to the partisan bases and we are already almost starting to complete the first tasks. Suddenly, arrows from the height of the treetops start to hit me, and those hits cause me quite a lot of damage first. And the predator found us too quickly within one minute of local time. And this is what it looks like for other teammates who play with me, they also get a lot of arrow damage. And the one who shoots them will definitely not miss his goals. His interventions are absolutely too suspiciously accurate. And that predator moves very inconspicuously and too quickly flexible in the branches. His movements are only in the treetops on the ground does not move at all! It is only in the trees. And if we want to do some against attack or defense, we have almost no chance at all. Each time it was just a permanent damage. And the predator was not visible at all in the crowns, only signs of its siulette, but immediately disappeared and only movements in the branches and falling leaves were visible. And we didn’t do too much damage to him, we only hit him minimally to defend ourselves and repel his attacks, it was impossible.
If we tried to hit him our shots through the branches of trees were not effective or lasted too long to damage him. And after a few moments after 3 minutes we were all on the ground and dead. And that predator was a PC player, and I can’t remember his name for sure. But I have the feeling that this is the same PC player I have played with in the past and it was exactly the same situation as I mentioned here. His playing style is exactly the same, except that his name has probably been changed. PS4 gamers are pretty cool but with PC gamers out there it’s really an unplayable game impossible. Unfortunately, I don’t know the video on this topic, I know it would be better to describe this situation. I only have my testimony of these experiences. Should I therefore worry about PC gamers having some kind of cheating or other benefits in their laughs?

There are benefits PC vs any console in PC’s favor.
Cheats as in scripts, I haven’t seen them yet.

Others will address the various things you mention and assure you that you’re probably just facing a good Pred player. I’m just going to state it’s absolutely possible to find the FT that quick if you’ve played this game a lot, use target isolation as soon as it becomes available, are familiar with spawn points, use a Pred with good leap abilities/perks, and of course known that the FT generally spawn at the opposite side of the map to you anyway.

I regularly get to the FT within the first minute, and many other Pred players here do too.

He that PC player predator played for the character: ELDER
And that in previous matches it was also exactly the same situation the same character just another name. So bulletproof tree branches (almost indestructible) were too long before our missiles could destroy the tree branches, and the predator either changed its position or began to attack us, and the damage to our health was too rapid for our attacks to hurt him. His style of playing this game are just tree branches. Where he just hides and attacks us. And to jump down for his prey, it absolutely didn’t work. And he just hit FT lying on the ground with his arrows until we died. I don’t see any point in this style of his play. If he has any great advantages over us :(
And it makes him happy that he can kill FT only with a bow and with its hiding in the trees within 3 +/- minutes

To address one of your possible concerns: A PC player is locked into a single name for 14 days from time the name is changed, unless they are using some few partially-supported language sets that are supported in epic but not in P:HG, in which case they will appear as “DefaultPlayer###” and that number will only be unique per play-session. So if you are concerned that is the exact same player, that’s not as likely.

Shit, this Pred sounds a lot like me!

Against potato players I’ve done this. Quick find. Arrows rain on them (I’ll use bear traps though to aid this) from the trees or high vantage points, then finish off downed FT with arrows/Plasma.

I doubt the guy you’re facing is cheating, you just need to…

Not as you mentioned your style of play here, I don’t think it would be you. He used only a bow nothing and a hiding place on the trees and on the ground does not move at all. I didn’t see anything else: that he would use plasma weapons or throwing discs or cutting weapons. This went beyond him

Just sounds like a good predator.
Full-charged headshot arrows do a ton of damage. Its impossible to be “on top” of the tree. I think he was just exactly above u on a branch or something. There are no cheaters, only abusers. And as far as I know, the FT can only glitch (for example under the map)

So in all probability, my whole FT is just behind and we can’t play it and we can’t effectively repel arrow attacks from trees where the predator is not visible at all only with hints of branch movements of falling leaves.
All I can do is that his style of play: there are only movements in the branches and not on solid ground or in the heights of the roofs or the nearby hills of the mountains.
So that the predator behind the almost indestructible branches of the trees would not be damaged and our projectiles would not harm him, it was strange, but the targets were completely too easy for me without results.
It’s just that the PC player had something that other players lack and don’t have, and that’s maybe a better and more powerful internet connection and a PC with better equipment like it’s very good: a gaming mouse’s perfect sensitivity and its aiming intensity. And possible errors in the low settings of the video card. And if there’s anything else I don’t know at the moment. This would sound more likely and it would make sense. In addition, the predator may have the following PERKS abilities in the game: BRANCH MASTER, Height Advantage, Light BENDER, and maybe some other PERKS … for his benefit. That’s why I mentioned that this doesn’t happen to me with PS4 players. Although they also move on trees and are difficult to see but there are definitely no indestructible tree branches behind them, but to make it an impossible defensive effect like PC gamers, you can’t talk about it

I find the best way to deal with that kinda of player is some of you repel the predator and some of you do the objective. This way you are forcing the predator to make faster decisions and possibly more mistakes.

From what you have said it seems like you was just up against a good pred. Plus PC players naturally have better aim with a mouse and keyboard.

I had a game like that yestarday, was it on Owergrouth? Was pred begging the last man standing to go for reinforcmnets?

#12

Yes, as you mentioned here, it was a match on this map

If elder was asking for reinforcments than it was me ;-)

This is absolutely normal on Overgrowth. It’s possible to get to the FT within 20 to 30 seconds.

I’m a fairly decent, but by no means great, player and I regularly do this. Check the timer on the first 30 seconds or so of these matches (all using Elder class):

So PREDATOR will do respawn near FIRETEAM?

This is why you need attack Corgis in your squad

Foliage doesn’t stand a chance

There are tools to keep the predator out of the trees

Either you, your nephew or both should use them

Until then enjoy this video of a jungle hunter regretting attacking us right off the bat

Headshot dmg got nerfed

#19

And this is why people are hating the bow more and people are using the bow more, it’s part oh his arsenal I get the and it’s fine but after have hundred of matches of going against. You and anyone would get sick and tired of it. I’ve heard it so much I can hear it being pulled back if its quiet enough. That’s why more people are offering to the dev’s "if your able to pick arrows back up and have marked location, reduce the quiver from 30 to 15.

You seriously want to nerf one of the only effective ranged weapons the Pred has, while the FT currently is able to shred Preds to pieces with their vast arsenal of OP weapons?

Can’t decide if this is more or less ridiculous than your defence of hiding under the map in the other thread.

You just run into a good PC predator. They are dead accurate with those arrows. What you should do is don’t stay in the open and keep moving. Now if he is a good PC predator you’re going to lose anyway, you need a very good team (premade) that coordinate and have effective weapons/perks/gear to even put up a fight. Most PS players are fodder to GOOD PC predators.
