Missed balance changes

#1

The patch is overall good, predators now have the advantage in most cases. Although in most times I spawn as FT I am missing a medpack or extended mags, so that is a big bug affecting balance.

But there are a lot of things they didn’t touch that were issues before. Mostly weapons or items that were underpowered and exploits that weren’t fixed. Some examples.

-Predator Handgun has not changed in any way, the worst weapon choice now.
-Predator Slam roof damage is still present.
-FT can still complete objectives extremely fast, and run very fast with the knife and use the crouch slide for unlimited stamina.
-The first two pistols are still extremely weak.
-The minigun is still very bad, and even worse with the new elder sword that tank right through it, even on hunter class.
-The auto shotgun is still terrible.
-the LMG is still the best overall weapon especially with the ammo changes.
-Scout is even less effective now, and the extra perks that recon gets does not outweigh its poor health pool.

They also created some new problems, like the wrist blades now hit twice as fast, making it better than the disc, combi stick, and warclub in melee.

Just my thoughts and I hope we get another patch soon to help diversify things.

Yeah from the looks of it, roof slam is not a glitch, or an exploit.
It’s intended.

Is it a bit much? Yes. It could use a slight damage nerf.
I dont slam too often, but ya man, that’s here to stay.

I’m torn on the slam.

I run into a lot of FT that like to hide, in good buildings. Where if I try flush from even level its a bait to slaughter me. It’s also their OBJ sometimes so they have no reason to leave. Slam is my only way to flush them out or chip damage so when I do get them out in the open, I can bring one down and start the peeling process.

It should hit through walls, but not at full damage through the roof on high top buildings. It gotta at least chip the guys a bit to flush.

Or another take? No damage through walls/roof, but destroys meds and ammo inside, somethings that combats them using it as 100% safe bunker for 10 mins.

I’ve seen slam spamming, its rough. I don’t like nor do I do it (Least not like the vids I’ve seen). But fucking hell, the Supports that sit in the building with meds and wanna run the clock, its just like the most annoying boring thing ever.

The rest of your list, steps by steps. We’re getting there. It was long and rough wait but we know we can probably expect the patches monthly at now right?

RIGHT?

The roof slam is good. Leave it alone.
