new patch: LOL devs must be...

#28

If thats so then that would waste a good slot for a frag grenade/flash bang/etc. Its entirely possible that you’ll have a match with a Predator that doesn’t use UAVs.

#29

That’s not what we’re talking about.

The fireteam brings in a UAV to track the predator, like a reverse target isolation. That’s what I would assume the new gear to be.

#30

I have a feeling it’s going to be a semi stationary UAV that lets you have additional information on your mini map.

So you launch it say in the middle of a compound and it will circle the launch point in about a 20 ft circle.
Predator can shoot it down, but that might reveal their position.

The extra Scanning that it does, could be an auto spot (not highlight) in the Pred’s general area. So it might spot a branch as it bounces, or spot claw marks up a trunk.

It could also auto highlight un-cloaked Pred’s using ‘ Facial recognition‘, lol.

OOhh,ok. my bad. The wording is ambiguish so it could be an actual UAV (Drone) that scans or just a scanner on a radar that can pin point UAVs on a map (possibly for a temporary period of time).

It’s a SCANNER, not a UAV itself. A Unarmed Aerial Vehicle Scanner, self explanatory.

this is how i feel it’s a new patch it brings new things if i had to place worries it would be this but hopefully other not yet announced balance changes shake things up so that the new gear isn’t so annoying to deal with

After my initial kneejerk reaction, it’s just going to be that much more satisfying to wipe the floor with FT now that they have a false sense of security behind these so-called technological advances.

I’m concerned that I’m just going to end up witnessing even more trash tactics done by fellow random teammates because they have all these crutches to lean on.

#36

Personally as a pred main I think the self revive is a good addition to the ft arsenal Because I rarely claim so if the ft hide and revive themselves they can get back in the fight also it puts the predator in a situation where he/she has to claim or kill from afar so there a counters to the self revive

Honestly the self rez is annoying but I think itl cost alot.
Decloak grenade? Woooo as long as its not an overload or long duration it shouldnt be too bad.

The real problem is the UAV scanner.
If it’s an actual UAV scan.
That means no healing during second wind.

Which at that point, it would just be like wtf is the point lmao.

But we’ll see. Someone brought up a decent point that if they made a decloak made its probably because they improved the cloak.

So there might be some serious balance changes coming with the new stuff.

It was a Digital Comic that came with the deluxe edition as a download called Predator: Hunters by Dark Horse in fact it may have been one of their last comics they did since Marvel bought the comic rights recently.

Its a pretty cool story where there are Predators on an island surviving with no special gear what so ever just what they could make from whatever they could find or hunt very tribal very cool 😎

Edit: I realize now that this is the PC DD I guess I originally got the PS4 DD but it all looks more or less the same albeit mine said Playstation Exclusive not Epic Games but the comic comes in both

You know I have a lot of respect for you, more than anybody else on this forum, but I don’t think it’s so self explanatory.

If you google “UAV Scanner,” the results are UAVs that scan, not scanners that scan UAVs.

With how AI works in this game I do believe we’re just going to get an UAV that does a scan in the area (you’re not going to get the drone itself, just a scan in the areas). Now how it will work, no idea.

Ah, I have a hardcopy of Hunters but didn’t realise is was a prequel to the game or tied to the actual game?? I haven’t read it yet, so I’ll take a look👍🏼

Hunters came out a few years ago. Not tied to the game at all from what I remember.

Think they will improve cloak’s shimmer to be less noticed by FT, hopefully. So that Predator’s cloak has more advantage.

Self-Revive Syrette I’ve always wanted in-game. IMO, should be one-time use with no restocking, have gear value of 5 and normal Field Syrette should be dropped back down to value of 4.

New Assault Rifle should be powerful but not game breaking.

#45

Thanks man, didn’t realize. I should have remembered there was a comic. The game was a gift though and I said the Jungle Hunter version, which I’m very happy with. I might upgrade it if the comics any good.

How was it? Like does it have reread value, or is it just cool art?

PS. Or I might pick it up hard copy, cause I’m old fashioned and like books.

#46

I won’t say it’s a prequel it’s it’s own series that unfortunately will be stopping at hunters 3 because of Disney…

#47

There’s 3 comics in the series?

Very good to hear. Sucks about the licence going to Marvel but that’s the way of things.
