I see alot of complaining from Predator mains about hoe they csnt one shot players with the caster anymore. This is good. One shotting can be really toxic and overall bad for the longevity of the game. Now I am a Fireteam main, but the new buff/nerf for the Plasma caster is honestly fine. What I would like to see changed for the Plasma Caster is such:
- Be able to charge outside of aiming the Plasma Caster.
- Be able to hold the charge for when you want to shoot it.
- Be able to one shot scout and recon (assuming they have no damage reducing perks mind you).
- Lessen the energy required to fire off charged shots.
I think overall this could lend to more challenges shots from the predator without leaving yourself vulnerable while your laser is viable. Overall really happy with the new patch, only things I really didnt like was the med kits and ammo packs cost 5, feel like they should 4 in my opinion. Headshot damage being reduced feels pretty shitty, it’s a damn headshot, it’s supposed to do a ton of damage. The grenade launcher just didnt recieved a nerf, the developers just straight killed the weapon, it needs its impact grenades just with less damage and aoe. Finally the reduction of the money you get for duplicates, like why? It has no impact on gameplay and makes me wonder why exactly they reduced it, really hope this wont be the start of microtransactions. I’m pretty happy with the rest of the changes overall and have been having a blast, Predators are tougher but I havent lost a match yet since the patch as Fireteam, my been killed a couple times, but each game we wns up escaping or killing the predator still. Hopefully future patches will address the grenade launcher and the predators other melee weapons.
