One Nerf Can Solve Most of the Issues

#1

One of the main things that makes the fireteam so broken and OP is the 1011 pistol. If Illfonic just nerfs that pistol and nothing else, the balance of the game can improve by a lot.

The fact that you can just melt a predator with the pistol, a secondary weapon, is insane. You can just switch from the Sawz or hammerhead and deal a ton of damage. The pistol also does good damage at medium ranges too.

If the pistol’s damage gets nerfed, the fireteam will no longer be able to just switch from their primary weapon and do the same or more damage than their primary weapon. This will force players to actually depend on their primary weapon mostly. Therefore, if they miss their shots with the Sawz, they can’t just switch to the pistol and start shredding the pred into pieces.

I agree with you to some extent. as a reward I shall give you my seed.

1011 becomes more powerful in Assault + Action Hero. Additionally, there are still some easily available exploits that have been around for years.

I used to think illfonic was making balance changes for public FT Noob’s… but maybe they just don’t care about the game they make. There must be some reason.

The weapon in general is just very powerful regardless of what class you use. The ability to do the same or even more damage than your primary weapon is just insane.

I don’t know what their reasoning is. The game has been unbalanced for so long, the pred should get a buff or the fireteam should get a nerf in the next patch.

1011 would be better off with lower damage and range. Instead, revolvers and shotguns may be slightly strengthened. However, fixes such as Reckless Bug and Reload Bug should be prioritized.

I feel like FT needs bug fixes and nerfs, and Predator needs bug fixes and improved mechanics.

For example, I think it would be good to improve Predator’s jump UI and add sensitivity for Smart Disc. (Of course, the chances of it happening are slim)

I agree. I think the revolver should go back to how it was. The reckless exploit definitely needs to be removed in the next patch.

I feel like pred could benefit from some slight buffs too. The plasma pistol should go back to how it was in the previous patch.

Slightly? One thing i’ve always backed on this forum is toy gun shotguns. Apart from grenads and rocket launcher, shotguns should be the most damaging weapon in the game close range 5-8 meters.
About the topic, all guns should have a rework on the damage towards the RL. But i think before that, player movement and inputs should be fixed.
Disabling FT to perform 2 quick actions while Pred still have animation cancelling kiled the game for me if ot wasn’t already dead.

Oh, sorry, I said it wrong. The shotgun definitely needs buffing.

Or it would be interesting if a shotgun version of a duelist or an FT character who is good at using shotguns was added. (never happens)

The rocket launcher and shotguns should get a buff. I don’t get why the rocket launcher does less damage than the grenade launcher lol. It doesn’t make sense.

The fireteam is still really strong though. Even with animation cancelling or fast weapon switching, the pred is going to get wrecked by a strong fireteam.

Apart from the gun damage i wrote above, the only thing i would do to make not such a hard task for the Predator is to make missions longer and/or with objectives that would obligate the FT to temporarly spread. That would give the Pred the chance to wear the FT out not needing to rush before the mission ends exposing himself more than it should in the process.
Would also do a rework on the AI because it’s spawn and the ability to find FT wherever they are is a complete joke.

IA,s are the most patetic thing in this game.

That and the Saw-z. I think those two nerfs are the least controversial balance changes of all time

True, but if Illfonic just nerfs the pistol, nerfing the sniper wouldn’t be that necessary. Using the sniper does take skill. The problem is when you switch from the sniper to the pistol and just start melting the pred at close range.
