well i must say i always start with a charged caster shot. from behind cover and then pop out and fire it.
but to then use a full cahrge again after that is just inviting death. quick pot-shots are neccesary for peeking / corner play
Plasma spammers??

There is no “allowing” him for me but he’s not the only thing I’m shooting at. People get caught up in trying to kill the predator and forget about the AI’s and really it’s a whole lot of spamming from both sides
Literally my least favorite way to be hunted.
I’d prefer to actually have fear and be hunted tastefully.
These preds that just stick to one tactic, while going into a match expecting to win 95% of the time, doing the same shit, isn’t enjoyable for anyone.
Like, cool you can fire the caster a billion times, what else can you do as pred?
Does said Predator know about stealth kills?
I’d enjoy my Mortal Kombat cinematic please and thank you. XD
teams iv played that have no issue with plasma are always behind some cover from the AI, they never shoot the AI untill the predator has been scared off through damage. or they have a designated person who deals with the AI while the others ONLY focus on the predator.
i employ different tactics depending on who im playing. if im fighting scarface and his gang then im going to use whats most viable and what im best with. why would i disadvantage myself trying to do something ineffective and risky against some of the best players? i will use my plasma and i will kill them while they are down with it, im not giving them a chance to get back up!
if im fighting some pub randos i use everything in my loadout. but WHATEVER you use, someone will complain its OP because you beat them with it…
“sword is op cuz it does bleeding damage - why dont you use wristblades”
“nets are op, you only won because you spammed nets at me”
“plasma spamming is OP”
“stop using slam when we are trying to revive in a 4 man campfire arangment”
“stop spamming plasma into this building we are having a group meeting!”
DONT USE THAT, OR THAT!
My only take here is to say that people are snowflakes and they have been adapted to being hand fed by developers and don’t like any sort of changes lol… and i want to also go a bit in depth but i will probably get some delusional cuck lord reply to me saying im wrong and im in false here when saying it.
But what i want to say is people don’t seem to understand types of weapon design and laws of physics in game design.
Predator is all based on mostly AOE and TTT which stands for Time to Travel.
While Fireteam in other hand has like only like grenades that have AOE and TTT, but everything else is bullet hitscan and people still don’t understand how big of a role fireteam plays here… they are still the puppet masters if they wish to… if they wish to they can make it so the predator for the most part thinks that they are all camping and doing the mission… but the fact is the one guy hid himself and went by himself to the proper mission while predator is there wasting his shit haunting others.
And not only that, you can have like one person being hidden and like just keep trolling the predator with fake sound decoys and others are doing the mission… when predator gets there the mission is like almost over and even if he downs one of two he will already be like close to second wind or running for his life, and during that period of time the fireteam will be healed up and ready to exfil… and only thing that leaves for predator now is to go all out and risk 4 people shooting at him at once… only thing viable here is to use net gun and hope to like idk slam and then net gun and then get 2 and 2 are alive and standing and then if they suck at aiming and parry you win…
That happens rarely as people realized how to do whole parry thing… some still need to learn but some learned how to combine parry + shoot or knife slice + shoot that deals double damage while predator is trying to get ya.
To summarize it literally takes one gun on the team to run sniper and others to bait the predator and the sniper guy can take out his bio mask and that’s it… predator match has been ruined… fireteam is left with only boring mission to do… if pred decides to go for melee then he is fucked… or he can play with arrows or smart disc… in that case u just camp lol
Even new players are saying that the gameplay is a clique and plain repetitive and boring and annoying… when predator is like attacking it becomes annoying lol… it’s not even scary lol… the only thing that comes to being scary is to have scout pred who does not click

But that’s the thing yo, you can’t be behind cover and still shoot the AIs the plasma caster literally goes through and has splashed DMG, which again, is okay! I don’t want to take away from the player that like using it, just give to the classes that meant to be at a range. Quick short story: I was playing with friends (cause randoms are trash) and we were going up against a Viking, we caught him while he was trying melee but was unsuccessful so he switched up he’s tactics to spamming and jumping around tree to tree
Not to take any one sides or to like interfere with the convo… but to counter that you must have one guy who plays sniper rifle… and preferably has god aim and can hit leaping targets.
works for me still and can second with pred who is jumping and spamming lol
Yes you can, you go behind a building corner where the pradator cant shoot you, but not stood right next to the wall and you get line of sight to the AI… .also remember they come to you. the AI should be secondary to the predator and if you are getting owned by AI then your positioning and tactics are not right. sorry to be blunt but thats not the predators fault.
that is basic counter… better counter is to run sniper rifle and stay mudded and hit him from somewhere where he is not prepared for while he is spamming at your team.
its pretty much GG over…
thats fine if you are confident enough to be spread out that much. id usually reccomend being 5-10meters at all times for revival/backup reasons… but iv seen well mudded snipers brake off and they are very hard to find.
Thing you need to rely on and which works for the most part unless the predator player is somewhat like me and thinks ahead and is prepared if someone tries to ambush him… cause for the majority of people who play him end up thinking everyone is in there hiding right… and then u have surprise effect in ur sleeve which you can use wisely to either second wind him or like put him close lol
