Nerf Berserker

Berserker with a comb stick, impenetrable, fearless and any recovery bonus is brutal and a pub stomper for sure. I’m curious if you play with a premade fireteam tho? Cus premades seem to counter it pretty easy. Flash banging the pred stops it in its tracks, letting you guys shred into it. I’m not gonna lie and say that it won’t end in at least one or two downs, but the Predator can’t re-engage soon enough and you can make him lose his biomask during that skirmish.

The problem I have with the Berserker is that the fireteam is forced to play for the counter every game, ie you need shotguns, flashbangs, miniguns, bonus damage, damage reduction etc and you have to stay extremely close and be highly aware where the predator is, if you don’t you have ZERO chance.

That is going to get boring fast.

A slight nerf to the tank or speed of the berserker and a slight buff to the other predators would allow for more varied gameplay.

I don’t agree berserker is fine, there’s always a way to counter a predator

Dammit, you forced me to create another account because I ran out of posts on the first one. I really want to be done arguing with ashholes like you over this trivial matter, but I understand that not all of us can agree on a topic. Again, I deliberately misspelled that to protect your childhood innocence. Then again, I could be wrong about you. You could be a fat slob living in his mother’s basement. Although if you’re not, big surprise! Congrats on not being that. All I’m saying in this post is very similar to what Cyclo just said – a little nerf here, a little buff there, and this game would be much better and a lot less painful to play as fireteam on. If you disagree, I don’t see why you have to hop on this thread and take it out on me. Simply continue doing what you do best – existing. Nobody likes hate posts, myself included. So if y’all could go bother someone else on what they want to be buffed or nerfed, I wouldn’t have to waste my replies on fools like Yautja here.

ive seen a lot of berserkers die today as long as your group stay together your fine, its when you get players that go off on there own or dont pay attention and get left behind is when the predator gets the advantage. if your up against a group that coordinates then your dead as predator imo

Yea nerf only predator which does barely anything nope.

Man, STFU. I literally just had a game where all four of us were within LOS of each other and this meaty berserker (with a combistick, may I add) drops down in the midst of us and proceeds to team wipe easily and quickly. It literally takes no skill in a game that’s supposed to be about skill.

P.S. Please don’t respond.

Yes. The berserker soaks up way too much damage. It also has the most gear space and plenty of perk slots, with almost no mobility penalty. It’s definitely not balanced. Only, a dishonorable hunter would claim otherwise.

Two of three elements should be nerfed by 15%. For example:

  1. Less speed and gear space
  2. Less speed and perk slots
  3. Less gear and perk space

Or… reduce the the difference in health among the different predators. Through testing, I calculated the health of the scout 20% less than the Hunter and the berserker has 20% more health than the hunter. They should probably only differ by 10%, because they already differ in perk and gear size.

The other predators are fairly balanced. The berserker, net gun, and spear combo is NOT balanced, and not fun to fight as a fireteam. It’s the first weekend though, so I’m sure more imbalances will come to light as well.

I’ve played both fireteam and predator, if a berserker runs in to a group of 4 people paying attention he is absolutely dead. All it takes is everyone firing at him, and if any one of them parries him its gg. Also if you can’t keep up with a berserker on second wind idk what to tell you. They are painfully slow in second wind. I played 5 matches with him earlier. Each time I would plasma them from range to soften them up before going in. I only won 2 of those matches. And once you go in second wind as berserker if the fireteam chases you, then you are dead. Not really sure what to tell you if you can’t kill him when he runs in on 4 of you, or if you supposedly can’t catch him in second wind…

Bro - a good squad with mid level guns can destroy charging berserker in no time.

His speed is quicker then you’d think yes. But his energy meter is bare. He can’t cloak and shoot, or cloak and sight for long at all. This is his main weakness. He’s forced to trap and push melee.

I went second wind one time and running away just saw bunny hopping recon and scouts chasing. He is not broken by any stretch.

You can go down quick, and is slow as hell in second wind. He is not OP. Most players just aren’t used to him yet

Then you weren’t hitting as a team or you were all right on top of each other. With a little space between each other and more then one fireteam member hitting him he’s not as tough as he looks.

I do t see it.
I’ve killed Berserkers before. They’re tougher then a normal pred, but its totally doable, and i don’t even consider myself a good player… lol

Plus, i’ve been killed as the Berserker, and thats with the “impenetrable” perk on, so again, its doable…

I think the problem is, a loud minority of the fireteam players got soiled and lazy by how easy killing the Predator usually is, and now that the game is getting hard and taking effort, they’re having a fit…

Try that against my predator. I love blasting knife users in the face with my plasma caster

yea and all predators fear Mini gun and having a bud Pray all his attacks whats your point?

No I love minigun users. Netgun takes care of them every 10 seconds, and they wont be able too touch me.

ah my main man uses net gun too whats upppp

also my point was Berserker is fine hes the Last class you unlock and then you need to wait even longer for the combistick i feel you earnd the right to use that PLUS when your talking about guys that hide in cornners and spam mini guns to win a match or just wait the match out that way i’d say having a guy that stops that isnt too much to ask

I have used berserker combi combo and have been trounced multiple times within the same match by one person parrying while his buddy’s shot me up, it can be done as much as you believe it can’t and I will be making a video to prove this finding. My main is a hunter I don’t believe either ft or pred is op, I do think certain things need reworks like the parry system should cost more stamina so as to discourage parry spamming as it does make predators having melee weapons completely pointless, I think the second wind revive timer should be reduced a little, pred gauntlet is the only weapon that should take less stamina to parry, ft grenades should have a little more of a blast radius and Jerry can explosion blast damage should be reduced- this is what I’ve come up with so far due to my own experience.
