Leap slam > melee once/combi throw/uncharged bow headshot > Leap away.
Enjoy your any class down.
I do think it needed the nerf, it ws quite cheap to pop out of cover with fully charged caster. Poor console users were so doomed against that.
plasma cannon is useless

ok now it just sounds like crying… your acting like the devs killed your puppy or something
Ok. I haven’t touched the snipers yet, I’m lvling all weapons by category, currently on SMGs. But I can see the problem. I was expecting Illfonic to forget some details here and there, expected I guess. I also saw and responded to a suggestion topic where the pred should be able to get his mask back, I suggested when he uses his healing syringe to make it more fair to him/her.
If he looses the mask, he looses the game. He cant use heat vision, and he cant aim with cannon, it becomes random where the projectile goes.
ive only had 2 games where i lost my mask and i didnt even noticed until i tried to find them with heat vision, didnt even see who shot me.
The snipers def needs some kinda range damage nerf, because they were REEEAALLY far away.
Is a fully charged Plasma caster still a one hit down if you have “Down Range” equipped? I mean, a scout should probably have that perk anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
I think the Plasma Caster really didn’t needed to be changed, it requires a good amount of skill to land a direct hit with a fully charged shot. I belive the only improvement it needed was more 2 or 3 seconds when fully charged, just to give more time to properly aim.
Seen plenty of preds use it as a shotgun, charging from behind a corner very close to the FT. Not much of a skill needed there, as its hitbox is massive when fully charged.
How am i crying you are just sucking the devs of xD if you have nothing to add to my topic piss of weeb
you can’t one shot them anymore even with the down range perk

Mostly to unaware FT normaly mudding up, completing a mission, reviving or healing, the Plasma Caster is meant to be a one shot weapon when fully charged, the FT should be alert when standing still or have someone watching them.
If i recal corectly if the predator used his plasma caster in the first movie didn’t he just shot a hole in the guys torso ? So one hitting them looks kinda fair tbh i just had to 3 hit a downed person with my plasma caster

Illfonic listens to its playerbase so I expect them to roll the Plasma Cannon nerf back next official patch, it was unnecessary, the meta right now is aggressive melee predators, unstoppable, Combistick is still stupid strong

Doesnt matter really.
Just poke them one time before going for a full charge.
If they heal, who really cares, there are less resources to back on now.
War of attrition, make them lose resources, stop acting like a range version of now slightly nerfed chopstick zerker who could go only melee or die trying.
You dont need to only 1 shot people to kill FT and their reinforcement, stop relying on it.
Eh. I’ve had a couple games as FT where the Predator does absolutely dandy with the plasma caster.
(In other games Predator’s have been trying out the bow over the P.C.)
Fiddle with it some more, it feels lovely and hurty to my everything.
Just did 2 matches with my Scout, the Plasma Cannon is pretty much pointless against a decent team now. Hit after hit and you just cant get them down, and the 2 times i managed to do so they healed right back up, and then the chopper was called.
This patch sucks for the Ranged Pred player, i was not enjoying this. It was hard enough when it did one hits as that still doesnt mean you win, but this…garbage.

I’m just maining the hunter for now i mainly use the net shooter and combi stick as back up
I also use my beartraps and use that to get some shots off with my plasma cannon but it still isn’t enought to kill them ill just adapt and see how i feel after some more games.
Yea…im quitting this game after this patch, they ruined my build and i have no interest in melee rushing, feels akward to do.
Struggled REALLY hard to even down a couple guys with perfect aim and fully charged shots, was nothing i could do to slow them down, so yeah, this patch broke this game for me.
Be back in a few weeks, this game is in trouble.
The patch isn’t to bad i use hunter with long jump dimmed lens and the perk where i consume less energy when cloacked ive been having an absolute blast with it try jumping down and slamming it’s really good now they are basicly blind and i use my net gun to disable snipers and just kill and insta claim them
Just toy around with the other weapons it did took 4 direct hits with regular plasma cannon shots to down a full hp assault
Thats literally how a Predator should hunt, use the PC to one shot them, reduce their numbers and go in for the melee kill. Nerfing a PC that was near perfection was a the only mistake of this patch.
