First of - this is my current melee scout loadout :

scout
scout1920×1080 260 KB

I shit you not - I use him like that against REAL ppl in public games. Proof :

proof1920×1080 249 KB

And the end result (not trying to be mean to those players, just want you to see this was a legit game against the same ppl, one of them quit after I’ve claimed him):

proof21920×1080 175 KB

Conclusion - something is way off in balance department. How in the name of Sweet Baby Jesus Christ Almighty I was able to defeat a mix FT(two PC and two PS4) with a NAKED, perkless scout using mostly melee attacks, but when its a premade PC there is no hope of even getting close to the bastards with the best loadouts on best class?! What the hell is wrong with this game?

Randoms don’t coordinate for the most part and do their own thing. Most are either new or looking for money with some random good solo players out there that can give a you a run for your money. Premades are coordinated and know what they’re doing for the most part and don’t really care for anything but mounting your head on the wall.

Coordination is the key, yes, but in the name of screaming shit! I was running the weakest pred thats only possible thrugh a glitch in custom menu (no weapons) and I had no freaking perks or gear… They had a Dutch and a Support class, obviously loaded with perks and gear… I had no LEGAL RIGHT to survive this game, let alon fucking win it…

Thats not to do with skill anymore - its in the game. Its balance. Complete lack of it

Honestly I would still say that’s just complete lack of skill on their part. Any player that at bare minimum could’ve just aimed would have killed you with those conditions also adding to that pool was your skill as a pred was greater. Hell I’ve attempted that traditionalist trophy 12 times before it worked and all would do was rush at them with blades only, no cloak, thermal, or climbing on trees, or healing and still beat randoms.

I know, I’m great XDDDDD
No I’m not! I’m avrage at the best, still think its balance. When ever its a premade pred is doomed. Not even being able to get close, when its not a premade than its a total shit show for FT… Good example is what happens when a premade FT is without his team and plays with randoms - dose not matter any more how good he is with his pre made team, without them he is getting claimd like everyone else. Thats proof in the pudding that balance in this game is the biggest problem, not skill

Loo, if you will nerf pred more than even the pigs are going to kill him…

#12

Idk, Not to toot my own horn(toot) but I’m usually pretty good in randoms and end up being the best of my squad usually being the one to hold back and run the pred down and killing them (scout life). This however only applies when my skill is greater than the pred since they’re supposed to be greater than a single FT so when the pred is skilled my ass will contribute to trying to kill it and we will more than likely lose due to some idiot running away under a floor board or something like that.

Had 3 of them yesterday. Killed the team except for one, he ran to revive and I let him as I claimed their skulls. When they reinforced one of them quit and i couldn’t find the rest. I kept seeing the alarm for the radar camp in backwater going off but no one was there until I saw a bunch of AI shooting by the fishing village. I went there and all three were hiding underneath the floorboards. Only one ever came out to fight me so I gave him props the other two I berated on the mic for wasting my time and theirs after killing them all.

When I encounter campres like that (and have some gear on me XD) I usually mark them with motion detector and spam PC at the floor - dose little damage, but thanks to thers “supreme strategy” we have time XD

I think you just highlighted the most challenging part about a pvp asymmetric game: By nature, the side with more players on it will have to be individually weaker. So if the team side has two players that are just straight dumb, you cut the firepower in half and their actions can sometimes be so distracting that it affects the team side even more than just reducing the firepower. As a mostly Fireteam player (I’m doing my part to help queues), I personally witness this a little too much.

Though, this is refreshing. I usually see complaints that the game is imba in the Fireteam’s favor :p

Fully agree with your statment, and yes, its not imbalanced in FT favor… but also not in Preds favor… honestly idk what the hell is wrong. I had no legal right to survive that game, never mind winning it. I’ve used that load out for pure joke and expected to die in the first two mins of the game XD
It felt like it did not matter if I had perks/gear or not… Won in the same style as always and took same amount of damage as always. Honestly idk myself whats wrong…

“The side with more players on it will have to be individually weaker”
are you serious? xD
Look at predator hunting grounds
Fireteam is much stronger than the predator.

Yautja bane needs to be nerfed for every FT that has it equipped

Predators armor needs to provide protection until it has been worn out

We all know now (or should be some what aware) that armour is a separate mesh on every preds body (btw, that is some awesome commitment to details) I think you have just suggested something really ingenious - why not make that separate armour destroyable just like the mask? Until that happens your life is not drained?
