Before this patch the cannon was very rewarding. You have good accuracy and charge up the shot, you get the kill. Now, its like hitting the FT with a pillow, it was a very unnecessary nerf. Please revert it back to normal.
Plasma Cannon is too weak!!!

I just responded to this in another post. Think of it this way: it originally took one fully charged plasma shot to down a full-health Fireteam member. Now, technically, it takes two full charged shots (or shot-and-a-half) to down a Fireteam member. This is their version of a “nerf” after a considerable amount of complaints saying the weapon was incredibly overpowered.
People asked for it, and we got it. Lol.
I got hit with it and only took half my health. IMO the plasma shoulder weapon should down you with a solid strike. Watch the original predator movie.

i think its ok now. 1 charged shot and then spam some smaller ones. it feels less cheese than “haha 1 hit down! - another to stop them being revived!”
its ok

That’s how it was, one fully charged shot downed someone. Everyone and their mother came to the Feedback section of these forums to voice that, well, it’s not fair. Now they’ve made a debatable adjustment, but at least acknowledged the issue and did something about it. Hoping they will make further adjustments on this.
Not sure they will please everyone no matter how it ends up. I still would like them to follow the movie a bit more. When did it ever take two shots to kill a soldier?
Probably so don’t always rely on it so much and probably use the plasma cannon to disperse or wear a ft down and use other tools. That’s how i see it

when did a soldier in the movie shove a minigun up his ass jump around like a rabbit? and all of them mud up together or use an audio decoy on the pred? - cant just make it a predator movie simulator!
Its a game with a nod to the original movie.

I kinda rely on it and the bow, because I main scout aannnnd…Its not going so well anymore. Not even the “Extra DMG on range weapons” perk is helping. Before this patch things were good, yea I would miss a couple shots but now. It makes me not even want to play predator anymore.

True but those elements are game elements regardless. Just saying the PC needs to deal more damage.

start off with the bow, few shots here and there. then finish them off with the plas. once u have 1 down u can get closer and stop them from revivng him with harassment shots without charging. use nets they are very effective now.
im having a blast with it
it may be tweaked again in the future i dont know. but i prefer it now to noob 1 hit kill mechanic, its cheese and no skill, not fair for the person downed.
Bow is as effective as the user long as they have passed the learning curve, I’m just counting down when the plasma caster gets an energy nerf when people start claiming it’s op spamming it. I just considered it something the fireteam to atleast fear.
trust me when i play fireteam i run like FUCK when i see those lasers pointed at me! they scary bro!
then my team take turns drawing the fire while the others shoot back.

Yeah but with damage reduced I don’t think it would be as much of a presence anymore
There was nothing noob about using it or having it down on a full charged shot if youve got fireteam snipers shooting your mask off first leap thats bullcrap

Yeah, they ain’t gonna’ keep their tushy in one spot if you’re just raining terror on them. They’ll get the hell out of there, I think. Good opportunity to follow up with… I don’t know, maybe the bow. Or maybe get CQC and rip their spine and skull out of their body. The choice is yours.
Agreed. It was the only viable ranged predator weapon. Bow disk and pistol require too many hits to down

give it some time to test out and stuff first. they changed it this morning it needs time to get used to now. How you play must adapt to the changes. not changes be made to fit your play.
If they look at the data/telemetry/stats and it says its not good, then im sure they will buff it again.
just give it time guys :)
