I didn’t record this but I had my Pred engage in a lock-on melee fight. Souls style. I made a thread on this way back and nobody seemed to experience this. It happened as soon as I got close to a certain FT player. I thought it was pretty cool except where to disengage you need to retreat which every time was a slow backing up which caused decent damage from other FT. I as well as the one FT member where in lock mode. This was on pc with a controller.
Lock-on melee. It happened. Im not crazy.

Too bad nobody plays souls…or knows what you mean by this.
It’s when you have your crosshair locked on your target at all times until you swap your targets.

you think the new dlc will be scar wolf royce and also traked maybe
all these bugs are related to the same thing: the game’s inability to handle multiple inputs at the same time or consecutively
this all started when they tried to patch the game to avoid weapon swap animation cancel for predator, which wasn’t actually fixed and it still can be done regardless
Multiple bugs happen because of this including not being able to sprint, jump, fire, interact, attack, as both FT and Predator. Predator auto slam, auto wristblade, ft constant fire (lock on auto fire for automatic weapons), etc.
Happens on both console and PC with K&M or controller, though is more apparent on K&M because of it’s lower input lag and faster response time
@Kassinaillia please let the devs know this started around patch 2.19/2.20
If you really want to get rid of such exploits, remove fast hands perk temporarily until you can rework it so it can’t be exploited. Sucks, cause is a good perk, but is the culprit of such exploits.

You don’t need fast hands perk on Pred in order to cancel animations.

Fast hands perk ? Really ? Only one player that has been accused of that used that perk.

it aggravates the problem. At least the insane combos I’ve seen (combi, plasma, bow in a single attack) all require fast hands. Doing them with out fast hands would be the equivalent of someone doing it with fast hands without the use of macro (so you still see the weapon switch animation, albeit faster than usual because you are using fast hands). So the exploit is basically negating the effect of fast hands, but if done with fast hands is flat out ridiculous.
Anyway, the thing is, it was never corrected to begin with and in their patch trying to fix it they pretty much broke a hell lot more things which make the game frustrating whenever it happens
High ping also aggravates these bugs. The higher the ping, the more likely it will happen.

People that have shown how to do those things while using macros did not have the fast hands perk.
yo
I’m not talking of accusations or bringing any of that shit up. Don’t derailed the discussion. Is not about that. It’s about why these bugs are happening now and what the devs did that caused it. The fast hands thing is just a suggestion because I know that’s how it works, the same way I know how most exploits in this game work. If they take it out ot not, IDGAF, I just want the whole auto fire, can’t melee, cant eat a boar, etc. bugs to go out and all started when they try to fix the weapon animation cancels
No you don’t. It has nothing to do with the fast hands perk as out of the players accused by ft mains of canceling animations through macros: Thunderwolf, Dan and Prozi, only the latter used the perk. Have no idea why you think the perk has anything to do with that, nobody uses it anymore, its like some of you never play as Predator.

I do for punishing. Makes it easy to reorient and continue the pressure instead of waiting 1.70 seconds for the weapon to switch. In a pinch, that’s a long time. Fast Hands makes it practically instant. Would be redundant if we could switch weapons during a leap like we could before they were removed for a still unspecified and frankly unjustified reason.
With key biddings the difference with fast hands or not isn’t that significant, there are more usefull to use have instead.
Ive never accused any of those players of using macros and ive never seen them skipping weapon swap animations they way ive seen other player do it with fast hands and without macros
Using macros actually bugs out pred in public matches where your ping is not 0. I know this because im the captain macro. When you host they work. When your ping is more than 0 they lead to a bug, so, don’t use them. Anyone accusing Pred players of using macros in public matches don’t know what they are talking about.
I still don’t understand the reasoning behind preds inability to shoot while jumping. I get it (somewhat) with leaping (though, not really) but the fact you cant do anything while you are airborne seems stupid since ft can do it
you sound like a disgrunted dev. Most of us are making do with whats establihsed. But yeah…lets shoot shit while in midair. fine! You know if you want it badly enough you can ask for just about anything. How about throwing traps in midair and swinging that axe?
that’d be dope

You can do almost everything while midair as FT. Go ahead and try it. Turn jump height up and gravity down and play as both for a little bit. See how bored you get waiting to land as Pred

That’s one of the reasons I’d love for pred to have that ability. That would be much more fun and we wouldn’t have to disable spotting and give pred 1000% hp to compensate
