Think about it: for one the plasma caster as it is now is completely untrue to the predator franchise (by rights a fully charged shot should’ve just been a one hit KILL ask blain oh wait he’s dead) and was the main way to take care of parry spammers but now it’s an insult.
OK thats it for me, ranged pred was my jam, its useless now.

I understand that it could be annoying to go up against but it was really easy to counter. All it took was running around, spamming jump and hiding
Right but this ain’t the movies dude. It’s a game with two teams who who like to win.
You can leave this thread, i dont want you in here. Im serious, sick of seeing people like you going “lol you did this and whine” when you dont even know anything about how the player even lost his mask.
Get out.
Nah firing into compact buildings, mudding up, baiting the revive, and snap aiming are fully viable.
Ok I’ll leave a box of tissues in your safe space
“Predator: hunting grounds” any game with the name and character/s of a movie should be as true to the franchise they are portraying as much as possible. As when they take on the name that’s representing the franchise…duh
On top of that both teams were winning anyway (the teams I faced more than I won) even with the plasma caster as strong as it was making your point invalidated

Thank you.
Right but there’s two teams and needs balance. Balance just shifted…duh.
-facepalms- the balance was in the fireteams hands to BEGIN WITH (again point invalidated) they weren’t op but against pred they had enough stacks in their favor as was acknowledged by many.

I bought the deluxe edition on the PS4, and the standard edition on Epic games… so actually i got hosed for 100$… lol
Never buy a deluxe edition from an unknown developer. That is a big mistake.

On PC yes. On console probably not due to it being much harder to aim
I still have plenty success as a scout and actually more now that I can pop three shots off my PC and keep moving rather than having to stand still, charge it up giving everyone a good long look at my laser to see where I am and overload myself and have to run. Now I can apply constant pressure. I don’t know that I agree with nerfing the one shot, it can be difficult to land that shot but I am not sure that is a huge issue. I charge a shot and hit then pop another plain shot as they jump and freak out or run and now they are down. And even if not I just forced them to use a valuable health item they no longer have an infinite reserve of. To me I found having to charge every shot to do any real damage the most frustrating because as a scout I like to poke and harass to weaken them and pick them off from afar before moving in for kills. Leaving them on the ground to bait revives to down the would be savior and so forth.
So for me it’s not deal breaking and I can understand the issue for and against. But it can also be a bit frustrating as FT too. Namely if they hide that laser by crouching behind a hill then they pop up and one shot you fully charged before you can even have a chance see the laser I can see a reasonable argument that that isn’t fair either. That is how I landed a lot of my charged down shots. Then I just charged it again and he’s doneso. Yeah I overloaded myself but now they are down a player and honestly there wasn’t much they could realistically be expected to do about it unless you want people bunny hopping everywhere. And nobody wants that.
So I understand both sides of this issue and I’m not really sure what side I take but I don’t think this is a game breaking deal. Charged shot still does like 80% of your health and just one follow shot or a stiff breeze will finish the job. I would advice though taking a breather from it though because it has a been a frustrating first week or so. Give it time and good luck.
Sorry for been nerfed only one way available for you. But no one gets fun been one-shooted.
…90 American dollars?
Welp, I’ve been playing Pred since patch day, and I consistently am scoring around 7.5k XP a match, and leaving 1 random FT member to escape via Heli. I feel that with this patch, Pred has infinite health packs thanks to boar spawns AND boar tracking as well as infinite energy/ammo reserve.
I run Hunter with Bow and Net. I feel that the Pred is quite strong this patch and might need some changes.
My gameplay mainly consists of floating above obj, watching FT to activate objectives, mud or engage AI when I net downwards from trees (to floor pin with net) and PC Barrage, or position my self centrally to encampment and camp with bow for stealth shots until I am compromised or have no angles on FT. I feel that Guerilla Warfare as Pred is too strong paired with consistent harassment. Min Dmg on PC is a very strong change for Pred I feel. Staying still will still get me minced up badly, but why would you sit still for them to aim. Being located requires disengage and reposition until success.
I’m yet to lose a mask or die in second wind. My perks are Reduced Dmg in trees, reduced bullet dmg ( I can trade with PC in trees with this load out) and either downrange or trapper depending on my mood. Currently feel like it is irrelevant what I equip.
They was not need to touch the Plasma Caster. They essentially nerfed the best long range option and short range (combistick) with buffing the dmg on all the other weapons. Fun fact, FT shotgun dmg remains unchanged.

While I disagree with the pred changes when stealth wasn’t even remotely addressed, the Shotguns should be beastly up close compared to other weapons. Although reducing up close dmg for guns is kind of a weird way to make the comparison more obvious. So they do more dmg from a distance than at point blank (PLEASE correct me if I misunderstood that, lol). It doesn’t make much sense. Keep “dmg” the same but buff Preds defense and HP (even the scouts should seem to be pretty durable compared to human tech weapons to really capture the essense and threat of the yaujta IMO) while simply buffing the up close dmg of shotguns and you get the same idea without nonsense nerfs.
The reason I brought up the shotgun was to show that the FT retain some powerful weapons untouched. You sadly can’t say the same for the predator. Best long range(plasma caster) and short range (combistick) were nerf. They didn’t even buff the any other predator weapons. I mean bow now charges for 10s, really Illfonic, that’s the news.
