I have to try that tactic. xD
@Noktrum I only had one match as Valk Ghost with katana and combi, I posted a video.
They were getting downed easy, even OWLF, but I thought it was because I’ve shot a few PC shots.
New Pred Metas??

I would honestly try with the katana over the battle axe due to the bleed.
Cause I like to play Samurai hit and run.
Katana all day long

I just got Elder and, while I wanna use the loadout most’ve been using here, I find myself trying to keep Impenetrable as a failsafe; just in case they have several people with sniper rifles and perks to maximize pred damage. Other than that, I think Dithered Lens, Impen, and Modified Reserves should do the trick, right?
Valkyrie with Ironside, Adrenaline, Impatient and Savage is pretty awesome.
No more getting shot into 2nd Wind while claiming.
At least against PC Randoms, Premades are always another story. :D

I fought 2 predators with ghost. First one was running the axe and the other the Katana. The axe with heavy attack is 1 shot most of the cases. Even support with thick skin if he get’s some damage before you slice him up goes down. Some AI or plasma blast and then leap to him and heavy attack, just make sure he can’t see you coming since if he is decent, avoiding the axe is not really that hard.
The other guy with Katana did hit and runs, 1 slice is about 80 damage (adding bleeding) so its quite easy to do hit and runs and drain the resources they have really badly.
I ended up winning both games but I with more practice I think this is really deadly. Now I was in randoms but I did had some PC users who were not bad in both games (and 1-2 on console). Probably not going to work if you find a skilled premade but with normal teams, its pretty good.

Am i the only one here who is wondering what all these builds(that you guys are posting) are actually meant to work against? I mean what kind of Fireteam setup are these “New Pred Meta builds” suppose to be effective against?
The new patch was recently released and i understand that some specializations and build may seem overpowered right now. But if you ever fight against well coordinated premade Fireteams you should know that they adapt very fast to Predator changes. Imo it’s a bit early to tell what’s op and not.
And if you only play public hunt matches and end up with potatoes 90% of the times then i understand how many builds that have been posted here may work well. 😁
Several people say: “Ghost is op”, but if the FT brings ACIG’s and/or Mines then the specialization suddenly becomes useless. Now that the Smoke Grenades are good for nothing(since the Pred gets 3x Smart Discs) the FT will start consider bringing other gear instead of those smokes, to counter certain builds/loadouts. This way of thinking goes for several other specializations aswell.
People simply haven’t really had time to adapt yet.

So far My favorite build is alpha with assassin, bow, katana, healing kits and bear traps impenetrable, medic and large pouch. That’s the best for me, but other builds could work for other people :)
I reject your build. 😅
Nah that actually sounds good think I’ll try it

Seems like one of the new Metas is the exploit Jungle Hunter with Disciplined and dithered lens.
Met 6 different guys using it so far in just two days.

Gimme Dutch 87 with 15 gear points plus 15 perk points and we’ll see who the real predator is 😉
Word travels fast I guess

Elder with stalker might seem like a meta if you go on pubs matches cus they just stand in the open waiting to get shot but top FT players know how to counter it, you are not going to win every match just cus you are using it. Sure its better than trying to use an melee build but the stamina and speed of the Elder is a set back. Doing one full plasma shot is enough to give away your position and have most of your HP gone in 2-3 seconds if you are not careful. You get 1 guy down but the firepower of the rest 3 FT can kill you faster than you can charge the next one.
Jungle Hunter with fervert or tactitian is nice. They are situational but together with down range the damage is great. Same thing with City using tactitian or analytic. Disciplined is overrated, just removes the clicking. Footsteps, movement in trees, uav scanner, pdl gives the Predator position away anyway. If they removed all Predator sound it could be good.
Even with specs melee builds won’t work against great FTs. Now with Pred specs the game is just more balanced, if anyone thinks the Predator is OP now its cus they haven’t tried playing against great FT players.
