Oh yh believe me I get pissed off playing as Predator in Privates all the time. Fireteam damage is absolutely ridiculous. I should make a compilation of absurd Fireteam damage melting the Predator atp. But yeah the trick is to not get too pissed off at it, because then you’ll start playing worse. Just try to stay calm & “lock in” as they say.
Yeah the minigun is kinda broken now tbh. Especially if people use multitasker perk, because they’ll look like they’re speed hacking or something while making your screen shake a ridiculous amount so you can’t hit them easily & your shots don’t even go where you’re aiming. It’s a really braindead strategy & weapon tbh. It’s basically impossible to miss if the Predator is close & if people just camp inside rooms where Plasma splash damage can’t reach them & you don’t have Smart Disc, you can almost guarantee you’ll be taking a few trips to the pig spawns before you end up killing them.
This is assuming the people are actually half decent though. The average minigun user in pubs is a potato so you just stay at long or mid ranges depending how you want to approach it. Either with fully charged Plasma shots from range, or Combi Throws & Plasma Pistol shots at medium range while doing mazy runs to avoid damage.
If someone from the Private Match scene uses it though, it can make your life a living hell. You literally cannot go close until either the minigun guy is dead, or the rest of the team are dead if you want to be safe/smart. There’s a very good reason the Jungle Hunter took out Blain from afar with the Plasma Caster in the movie let’s just say that.
And yeah, premades using cheap shit is always annoying.
Yh you’re getting the hang of things, but my God that pink Wolf Predator made me want to click off the video💀
Anyways, like I said, against miniguns, just don’t bother going close. For the quick scope Combi Throws & Plasma Pistol shots, just try to quite literally line up your target with the centre of your screen before shooting.
Yeah YautjaSymbiote pretty much summed up exactly what I was going to say about that.
