Katana isn't optimal for fighting good teams

Nice, I wanna like the disc but it just doesn’t match my playstyle. Maybe I’ll give it a shot again.

How did you get close to them without getting lit up? The team I faced kept dealing so much damage whenever I tried to use the katana.

I like how no fucks are given for the N word… LMFAO

makes me feel like its 2014 again… jeez

Yes

I focus on hoping…ALOT so I’d hop between them and get 1 hit and run my ass of and keep repeating till I got downs your gonna need like 3 boars and healing kits also I played my buddies and got stuck so they killed me but i have not had a problem against randos or clearly ps4 pre mades 🤷‍♂️ A lot of partying so I try to get behind the opponents and the sword is based on combos some doing over 200D so use those if you can and then run fast asf lol u get melted pretty quick and another thing to note is this sword is clearly made so ft burns through supplies (health kits) so it’s def worth it I focus on disc gameplay and can tell you from experience it’s usually easy team wipe but against pre mades don’t get it stuck other wise your fucced lol

Lol yeah, it’s not a big deal.

Lol I’m the same, I do lots of hops around the team. I hop and then shoot an arrow at them. I’ve killed PC teams before by just hopping and using the bow but this team was pretty tough. They kept me in their line of sight at all times.

I tried getting them to burn through their supplies but it felt like they had infinite heals and infinite ammo. There were two supports on the team, so that’s probably why.

Yea me and my buddies all go in with supports, 2 Medkits, 2 syringes each 🤣 it’s hard to win against a pre made no matter what but hopefully you eventually win lol I mean disc is a scary thing to face no matter what you are if the pred can use it right your so fucced half the time randos never even see me lol just ripping through with the disc cutting corners getting 2 ppl down once then bacc to my hand lol totally worth the practice 😂

It’s funny this game is reminding me of evolve a bit

I have won against pre mades and pc teams in the past lol. There’s always gonna be that one team that’s just ten steps ahead of you.

Cool, I’ll definitely give the disc another chance.

Yeah, it feels like Illfonic got a lot of inspiration from Evolve for this game.

Melee is not viable in general, go for range. Range damage and then , maybe, you can secure a down with melee. Btw the tracking of the katana is good and the damage as well. Its just fine that you will get melted if you go 1 vs 4 with the melee. Just play from range and use the melee only if a ft has half hp or if you already killed one.

Yeah, I usually play a ranged style but I wanted to see if the katana would help against a good team.

I disagree, the tracking of the katana is pretty bad.

That situation is pretty tough. When that happens to me I just try to get my pot shots and if they get away, fuck’em. Wont give those cunts the satisfaction of taking me down.

Yeah lol, I’d rather them escaping than letting them kill me.

Perhaps in 4 man premades melee is not really viable (never did any 4 man premades) but aside for that its extremely powerful if done right by the predator. 8/10 times when I die in the game is because of melee. It has insane burst, predator can close the gap really fast and unless you see him coming to pull the knife out and start doing heavy attacks he is going to melt you. Not even going into throwing traps and coming from the back (no way to defend yourself) or net gun…

I mean, the forward step is really noticeable, no one weapon has this forward tracking even the combi stick. Maybe the lateral tracking is not the best but keep in mind that the forward step is like a dragon ball teleport is super fast.

Katana should be used in a single duel with last survivor of the fire team, so net them and wrist blade them till there is one and show that honorable side of yours 😂

Katana is more for fun and relax games, it not work against coordinated voice chated good aiming PC team. Agaist such players you need combistick and bow combo. Jump to any FT member close as you can, throw combistick and try not to miss, then fast switch to bow (right in moment when your spear(combi) start to fly to your target), and fast shoot once or two from bow. It will be guaranteed 1 downed FT member, then jump to your combistick, take it and jump away to nearby rock or hill. Then repeat this combo again.
P.S. to do this combination with rapidly repeating jumps you need Hunter with Adrenaline perk or Scout (here Adrenaline will be optional). Also try to kill few boars before start to action to keep your “medkits”

Yeah, the katana is awesome for shredding easy teams. The bow and comistick combo does sound nice, I might have to go back to using that again.

I already main hunter with adrenal boost.

Hunter with adrenal and long jump is awesome. Combistick bow and traps.
