Official PCDS Predator: Hunting Grounds Tournament - World Championship Edition

Another question is why the operative is limited to a sniper rifle, when in predator 2 they have assault rifles?

The most recent film as well.

I understand what you’re saying homie, but it seems FT is getting cucked hard in this gamemode lol.

Although to be fair they really do deserve it.
I’m just saying it seems like an easy win for pred with how it’s lookin rt now

Because the OWLF class is a hybrid between an assault and recon. I could modify the rules to be used instead of one of those, but again, the idea is not to stack, so might be better off banning it altogether because I feel it breaks the dynamic of what the fireteam should be.

I’m a fireteam main, although I do play Predator from time to time. I don’t feel I’m hindering FT in any way, just forcing teams to play, well… LIKE A TEAM, which honestly on pubs, we never do

I’ve played with level 0 fresh out of the store loadouts and still win most matches. There’s no easy win for Pred, but what I am encouraging is to play for score and not so much for wins. Sure, pred can go ahead and wipe everyone in under a minute, but the XP will be low and will affect the winning outcome at the end

I mean as it stands, FT is not supposed to lose. That much is apparent with the current balance. The only thing that put balance back on the table was almost breaking pred. Now if we do what he’s trying to organize, it’s basically a no bullshit tourny

I mean, it’s been a long time since we’ve done it, but when we have a full ranger squad we coordinate like a team.

I’m in charge of spotting
Onskie does the sniping
Amp does the mission/support
Splurge helps chase and protect onskie

And that’s just one example.
Like, it’s up to the team to create synergy, not the game. The game give you the tools to synergize

Yeah the Rules of “These Weapons can only be used on these Classes” etc etc is all suggestions I’ve made to the Devs for months because having like 4 Assaults running around with SAWZ-50 breaks the game in half more then it already is.

I agree man, and i support the tourney.

Here, I’ll share something I’ve been working hard on since November. Work in progress. Only about 20% done.

It’s not open to edits and revisions just yet. But something like would turn the current meta on its head. Make it a skill-based game instead of me run broken build, me win

I get what you’re saying my guy, but pred absolutely can get easy wins, even without using exploits.

I’m on board with what you’ve got going on, only change I’d ask of you would be to allow operative to use assault rifles tbh, the other stuff makes sense for what you’re tryna do.

Just hope the preds don’t all hang back and caster their way to victory

I remember those. Like I’m ngl, you guys had the team cords down to a T

It’s sad rn bc only a handful of us keep playing the game, everyone got bored/upset bc the game was so broken.

So believe me i understand that this game needs tweaking.

I play both sides and that’s part of the reason i made my “Axing Questions” video.

My hope is that illfonic notices the broken shit and fixes it before they wash their hands of this game

I feel like the real issue there is the SAWZ itself.
Any class with that gun is insane, you get shot and a quarter to a third of your health disappears

Yeah it needs to be nerfed into the dirt.

Don’t forget there are ps4 players with modded controllers and pc players with macros

This was addressed

Modded/elite controllers, as long as don’t include turbo function, are allowed. I compare it to using for example, stuff like mice with multiple buttons and keyboards such as the Razer Tartarus

You don’t need a Modded Controller to be able to Quick Fire Weapons. All ya gotta do is put your Caster & Two Sub-Weapons on the D-Pad and you can swap between them without opening the Weapon Wheel, so ya can do stuff like fire a Plasma Bolt and then instantly throw a Combistick out without doing the equip animation. But that’s not allowed in this Tournament so if ya can do it, refrain from it.

The meta has always been about dps whether it be pred or ft.

All it takes to balance this game is nerf ft damage overall, fixing the axe, and making stalker only applicable to melee weapons.

No more one tap builds, no more melting preds like icecream ez.

Analytic & Fervent provide the same buffs Stalker does. As a matter of fact, Analytic is Easy Mode Stalker because once you’ve Scanned the FT, the 15% Damage Buff stays for the entire match, no need to manage Stamina and such.

Umm stalker with melee wouldn’t work very well

Read somewhere fervent is bugged as well but I have personally not tested this. Can someone confirm if is bugged or not? I’m trying to make the tournament as fair as possible given that the damage is way too high ATM for both

I thought analytic went away once the red dot above their heads faded away. If that’s not how it works it ought to be.

And Fervent is still bugged, it’s supposed to wear off once a ft member is dead.
