Just by reading this I can tell that you exclusively play fireteam. Let me break it down for you, Beserker is the only good predator in the game right now because Hunter and scout are basically useless and die super quickly. Not to mention melee for the predator is broken in a very bad way to the point where if a fireteam member gets stabbed once they can easily jump out of the way amd avoid the next upcoming attack (This is why everyone uses CombiStick btw) So play Predator and then comeback with a valid opinion. This game needs BALANCING not people wanting to nerf something just cause they died to it. Good day to you.

I think what needs to happen overall is this:
Make changes to the Predator classes.
Scout: Sneaky motherfucker. Make it a lot harder to hear this type of Predator’s footsteps. Bring on the paranoia. They’ve done well with only having one gear slot for healing and lowered HP… but really make the footsteps less noticeable.
Hunter: Able to carry more than the Scout gear-wise. Versatile. Footsteps a little louder and all that.
Berserker: Make these footsteps the elephant sounding ones. Make this type of Predator a fucking force to be reckoned with. Really go all in on the rampage style - allow for the greater HP pool, but make it known that an oncoming train is coming for you!! That’s all that needs to be nerfed really. Not so much paranoia, more of a threat - but you know that it’s coming and the FT can adjust strategies. Give it more HP for this reason.
Just make the classes bloody-well different!

other then scout being quite thats what they have done my guy
I mean quieter still. LIke only until up close and personal (say roughly 10-15metres) should Scout be really heard. For the reduced HP and 1 gear slot, it should be something like this.
Well i would make his cloak intressting as well where he doesnt make Clicking sounds while cloaked and if he crouch walks he gets the Full cloak like you would if you stand still
The entire reason I say to nerf Berserker is this: I’ll only say this once, so if we don’t cede each other’s points after that, you’re an idiot. Anyways, the reason is that all predators after level 44 get very “cookie cutter-y”, since all of them almost universally are Berserker-Combistick-Phoenix Mask. And that’s the strongest predator build that I know of, so it’s not that fun to play Fireteam when every predator is toxic AS FUCK and teabags you whenever possible. It’s really annoying to have to be on your guard constantly and not have any fun playing, because a powerful build like that requires you to be on your best yourself, and when that happens, there’s no room for experimentation. Big thanks to all you brave, sneaky scout mains, and all you valiant Hunter mains for not being a total asshole and deciding “oh, if I can’t have fun playing because I lose constantly, I’ll grind to level 44 and suck the fun out of every game I play Predator in” , so my message here is to nerf berserker so dicks like the fuckers that main him (with combistick) actually have to use a modicum of strategy instead of hacking and slashing blindly and teabagging like they just won a major victory whenever they down the FT.
I mean tbh I tried berserker like I said and I hate him. He’s way too slow imo. My experience playing him has always been if I run in I get focus fired down or parried till I’m dead and chased down and teabagged in second wind lol. I’ve stopped playing him for that reason so idk lol. I think most people run him because he’s got more health and melee damage to try to secure kills because of the reinforcement mechanic. I really hate that people feel they have to play a certain build in order to be viable.
Also just FYI the part about constantly having to be on guard and being your best self as fireteam not being fun… you just described playing as predator in every match currently lol. Not fun is it?
This is why I sit around with my smart disk and yautja bow
So Nerf the only good weapon and usable class for predators? You wouldn’t buff anything?
My conclusion after playing against this combo again and again is that the Berzerker is fine as he is.
He requires some thought and discipline from a level-headed fire team who BACKS AWAY and keeps focusing on him. Too often people bunch up and are standing there shooting while in melee range. Right now some guns like the Scar with an extended mag are much better than others, but that’s a weapons-choice issue for the fireteam, not a problem with the Berzerker.
It doesn’t take that long to force him off if you don’t panic and don’t stand there bunched up while he baseball bats you with the combistick.
ALSO REMEMBER THE GAME JUST RELEASED. Give us some time to play it for a while and try different things before giving up and crying for nerfs!

Lol man I just peeped this and thought It was dumb sorry :( but this everyone’s learning pretty quick he’s trash now lol
Necro :P
zerker is kinda too nerfed for now…the stamina and movement speed kills him…
if u pary once or twice he cant do nothing else…he needs to retreat.
depends of the moment…if u get stuck or u dont pay attention yes…u will probably get down fast.
still…the player makes the difference…not the predator.
Now try it with the heavy attack
Yep, now it’s bers nerferker time
Berserker does not need anymore nerfs, they would probably need buffs. It’s not that hard to counter them if you learn how to master parry and have a decent fireteam that sticks together. Overcome and adapt
honestly running scout with Iron Lungs, Yautja’s Bane, and Heavy Hitter is better than most predators in melee, but if they know that they can’t win a head-on engagement and juke you then hit you in the back, that works
wellllllllllllllllllll i wasnt going to say anything…
but no with all jokes aside Zerker has so many weaknesses. he cant run away for Shit so he either commits to the bit or doesnt if he half fasts shit. he dies. i have beaten Zerkers in a one on one fight befor because they think health is everything. its not. gear is good and all but i mean… if thats your point Elder does that job better. motion trackers arnt as use full as audio decoys once you know how to track on your own well.
i made a video talking about these points going in depth on it i left a time stamp to the exact point where i start talking about the strongist build for predator in the game here ya go
