Parry needs to get removed

#22

Just make the parry a specialization or perk like doing extra damage or better yet pull a dark souls and make a parrying knife. That way sweatlords can spam all they like and it doesnt fuck up balancing. It’s hard enough to kill 4 meth heads going on a bender in the woods

i really don’t get the whole parry thing… it works maybe 25% of the time for me if i’m lucky.

As FT

Make parry high excution. Knife should do very little damage. If he does a successful parry it’ll stun you long enough to get away. High risk reward problem sloved. There’s no need to remove it. Yea It’s pretty brain dead lol and it can cut the net gun mid flight too so they need to adjust it badly lol

I like the idea of a knife parry to be a perk.

#27

I like the idea of parrying drains all the FT’s stamina or the knife breaks.

#28

I love that idea too

#29

Im fine with parrying sometimes it can save a fire team. But The Predator should have the ability to counter parry if they time it right.

#30

So many of preds hardest hitters run the risk of losing the item how about perry blocks and stuns but gets knocked out of marines hands?

#31

Exactly right. Three lots of gunfire aimed at you depleting your health in seconds is definitely enough. There’s no need to add parry damage on top of that and then have a small knockback window where the predator can be stabbed without being able to react also. If they add a cool down to parry and give the knife wielder the same knockback it would balance this out.

Agreed, parry should either be taken out altogether, or a significant stamina / stagger penalty should apply to FT members.

As a gameplay mechanic, I get that something needs to be there for melee spam. But within reason, no human should be able to go toe-to-toe with a Predator without getting properly messed up…

I just throw the combistick and leap slam someone instead of melee fighting them… to avoid the parry mechanic entirely.
