O.W.L.F Operative Buff

#1

Just making a post asking why I feel as though O.W.L.F Operative should receive a buff.

In Predator 2, City Hunter attempts to look for the O.W.L.F Team with Thermal Vision but he can’t see them at all. This really should just how it is for the Operative. You can’t see him at all on Thermal and can only see him without Thermal instead of just lower temperatures that threaten to actually make him look colder than the environment around him. This would definitely make up for the lackluster health Operative has more than his Gear Space could.

Wasnt the reason he had trouble seeing them was because they were in a cold room?
Like really cold?

#3

I’ll check the Movie reason in a min, but lowkey this is probably how it should be especially for a O.W.L.F member in 2025.

Ya the health is ridiculous!

Idk ft has enough of an advantage, making them invisible to thermal seems fucked to be honest.

However if pred was in a better state, I totally would be down for stuff like this.

#6

In the movie, the suits they had back then completely isolated their body heat. So really City Hunter was either fucked or was gonna have a hard time defeating the O.W.L.F if he couldn’t see them without taking the Mask off.

This would only affect O.W.L.F Operative, everyone else has to deal with being tracked, and Operative is a Glass Canon like Scout anyhow, just annoys Pred a lot more.

#7

Then give pred different visions modes or something.
Cause if he cant see em i thermal, he cant scan them.

And that’s pretty broken.

#8

What do you all think he “says” at the end of this clip?

#10

There seems to be a bit of debate , I sort of assumed he said something in his language? But people seem to think its between “now you will die” or “mother of god” .

Both kinda make sense and I think its up to your interpretation? Mother of God is when he got the jump on Danny and you hear him say it and you see his mask picking it up . So he could be using it in the context of they almost got the jump on him 🤔

I mean, realistically, Operative’s whole gameplan is to be as annoying as Humaningly Possible to a Predator.

Just yesterday, I fucked up a Ghost Samurai’s whole game plan up as Operative by dropping a E.M.P mine at his thrown Combi-Stick, we then surrounded him as he tried to cloak up, failing to do so and getting lit up like a balloon and unable to get any extra damage in.

I was also thinking that Target Isolation could still affect Operatives or something.

#13

Literally for me its just wanting to make sure pred doesn’t get fucked over anymore. Ft has enough shit at their disposal.

But like I said, if pred gets to a better spot, then I’d love to see different stuff like this for ft.

#14

Actually there were many more aspects in the movie

  • They made the room cold
  • Used some sort of material to mess with predators vision
  • He still saw them cause the city hunter had access to like 4 visions or 5

I would be fine with this buff actually… cause it would force devs to add more visions to the predator such as “heartbeat vision” “particle vision”

#15

Heartbeat vision while cool and lore accurate would be imbalanced. No way to hide a Heartbeat. Same thing if the pred could see motion. Sound bubbles while sucky, are balanced

Yeah well the heartbeat vision only worked for predator like upclose at 5 meters or so…

It could be timed , almost like the iso ? With a cooldown period ? And within a certain range .

Y’know the OWLF Trained passive makes up for his fairly low health, right? And if you’re still afraid, just slap on Thick Skin and run the mission. Or Snipe, Ez pz

@Arnie.schwarzewigger
So…target iso basically, just with different graphics?

#20

Like I don’t see the practical use for this. Usually at that close you can tell by the gunfire hitting you where the FT is.

#21

Ok but if the guys are not making any noise or not trying to shoot at you or anyone. Its gonna work flawlessly

And its not gonna be like target isolation, it will be like an actual vision that can see any living being heart beat from like 5m away maybe 10 ideally…
