Prehaps Reduce the ammo count to 10 shots? i feel its a bit too over used.
either that or buff some of the other options give reasons to pick something else.
Kinda Feel that the Net gun is Becoming the new meta

No thank you.
Net gun since level 15.
With the jankiness of it, you almost need the extra ammo in my opinion.

No, the Net Gunâs ammo is fine. Just because somethingâs used a lot doesnât mean it needs a nerf.

The difference between ten and fifteen shots would be an absolutely massive nerf.
I got super bored using the net gun I donât bother with it anymore it makes killing meta teams to easy I rock the combistick only throwing it and the bow or disc jungle hunter.

Net gun is pretty op vs randoms but as soon as you get a coordinated FT its effectively useless. I dont use it anymore for that reason. Vs randoms which is most teams it seems it just felt dirty and when you actually get a challenge youâre stuck with one weapon.

Letâs be honest given most of use arenât playing in co-ordinated FTâs (since I canât convince my pals to buy this 3 map love song to the movie) IMO Net Gun is definatley OP (thatâs why everyone is using in their loadouts atm) with the amount of pressing you have to do to get out whilst at the same time letting the predator get a few melee strikes in those seconds and youâre down. Yeah I get it itâs a net gun so it should be a stuggle but Iâve got a fucking killer knife and Iâm a trained commando, and dutchâs tape says heâs been training for this shit for years, yet it takes like 5-7 seconds of bashing to get out which if you do get out youâll get downed by the time you turn around with the fact weâre playing first person with FT. Either needs a nerf or game needs a new FT perk to use to get out faster.

Yea i agree its pretty much what i like to call the Plucker as in you look around for whos the One good guy of the group that pulls the most wight then use the net gun to âPluckâ him out of the Group ( all be it not for very long) then just Rush em down and then hold the match in your hands as the 3 shitty guys Trip on them selfs trying to rez him.
for me i find that OP in the sense that i feel cheated for Working so hard to get better at this game only to have an idea Remove not just my aim skills but my EVERYTHING skills as i have to Repeatly Mash âFâ for a soild 4-5 secconds to break free and if they got Trapper thats like 6-8 seconds its too much.
i would Rather gear in this game be more integrated in the sense that If you take something you get a Give and a take, you gotta give something up putting your self at risk by taking it but the give is that for a tatic or for a weapon or for a map or what ever it may be makes you Strong in that sense.
if you wanna know what i mean look at StarCraft 2 in said game if you pick say a Rouch then the give is that low armmored Melee or slow moving Units get Rekt by these things the risk is that they dont deal alot of Damage they take up alot of your money to rush them early and they can be easyly countered by most tier 2 units.
or if your not a fan of SC2 then how about GTA V where in this game if you wanna take the Hydra? your give is that you have nothing for armmor and that two sniper shots or one rocket blows you up and it doesnt come with Flares it cant Bank as hard as most jets and its not very fast ( as jets go ) but the take is that you have a SUPER op fast Firerate explosive minigun Cannon. this thing doesnt need skill to use as it shoots at an rpm of 25,000 each Round blast range is the same as an RPG witch inturn makes it the best weapon for an aircraft to have ( in that game )
makes sense right? i kinda wanna have something of the sort where if you take the net gun maybe it makes you unabble to use Plasma caster or something like that if you can it then it needs to take something away form you to make up for the power you get form it.
thats just my feelings on the matter.[quote=âFire, post:13, topic:10048â]
Instead make other shit better.

hey man im down for something Really but i mean i just not a big fan of games making Clear Black and white Choices like this game does alot of. i like it better when nothing is bad or good its the player that makes them good but things like War club? and things like Blot action sniper? why would you take things when theres other things in the game thats a Direct Upgrade to this weapons. like the Warclub right? this thing is unlocked after the sword and yet its worse then the sword⌠in pretty much every way! it attacks slower it deals less Damage, and im not fully sure on this last one but im pretty sure it has less attack Range too⌠like its borring to see items in a game you test once see that theres no use in it and move on too something that doesâŚ
i get where your coming form and i agree the perks suck but, you gotta admit i have a point here manâŚ
I do see a lot of net gun but itâs like pretty easily countered so

Trapper perk does not affect net gun escape time.
Escaping takes longer (more button pushes) if you are moving as opposed to standing still.
A team mate can instantly free you with one button push.
In testing, 2.5s self release times are easy to pull off.

Oh đ§ Guess Iâm taking trapper off then
Netgun forces fireteam to stick together, its balanced. Also, release time is preety Quick, earth and wall pin have same escape time. Its balanced

Sigh bro. Iâm so sick and tired if ppl bitching about metas, cause itâs always followed by nerf this or that. Instead make other shit better.
But its hard to do here. Why? Cause this is a very low power game. So if anything becomes good, it might be too strong. Which is only a problem because are afraid of power and things being good.
Perfect example is perks. For pred all the perks fkn suck. Extremely underwhelming.
If theres a meta its cause other shit needs to be improved. But so far Iâve only played one game that was an mmo that had no meta whatsoever.
Everything was good, everything was viable.
If every weapon flowed as smoothly as combi, and we had more traps and stuff, wed see more things used.
But I dont think illfonic is ready to attempt an overhaul like that.

What I think we have happening now is, some FT have gotten too comfortable with being able to rely on parry/knife and get surprised when they are netted and beaten in melee.
Kind of the inverse of the Predators getting parried era.

A lot of pred perks should be united in one. As example, Tree run speed perk + tree parkour speed + tree dmg reduction = 1 perk, for tree predy builds. Also some perks should be united for Mask predy build, Invis build, Plasma build and others
5 Likes
Yep. I also feel alot of those perks should be passives to some classes. Like tree perks? Should just be default passives on scout.

I think, different classes of pred should include 1 passive, not only different stats, its boring. Because ft have already 2 passives, not only stat diferenses

I mean I get I get it, but at the same time I dont really care what ppl use. Like to this day i hate the bitches that ruined how guns worked is destiny 1. Bitching about what others used and for nerfs, instead of asking for buffs for other shit.
But itâs like I said man, itâs a problem in low power games. The only time I didnt see a meta was on dfo where like I said, everything was good. What you used depended purely on your prefence.
Sure it might take you a bit of work to pull it off, but everything worked.
But for the most part, ppl are afraid of power, or things being good.
Which is stupid and annoys me.
But if it was up to me, all the weapons would have different stances, special effects and passives.
As well as flow smoothly and not feel janky or choppy.
Plus more traps and gadgets. So you would even end up with utility builds. Or indirect combat builds. But given how predators are lore wise, that also limits options. Unless they say fuck lore.
But sadly, illfonic isnt ready for stuff like that.
