Without going to much in detail or having arguments, I just want to share my idea that would help out the preds.
Reduce the sound radius of pred.
Make pred cloak invisible, like sitting still, beyond a distance (example 100m).
I think this alone will already create more oppertunities for a pred to stalk and plan a approach.
And please, as pred stop rushing in blind spamming melee. Yautja dont hunt like that and thats why they’ve put parries in the game.
