I like that scout loadout.

Also, thanks for the positive thread. I’m sure not a lot of people will appreciate this thread like they should.

I just can’t get into the berserker that much. Too slow for me. I like the quickness of the scout. A lot of ppl get mad about me jumping in and out with my strikes and hitting them from range but I love it lol

My favourite is Jungle Hunter with Elder Sword and Smart Disc. I take Large Pouch, Adrenal Boost and Height Advantage perks. For gear I use Healing Kit, Motion Trackers and Audio Decoys.

Sadly I can’t use it because whenever you throw the smart disc you end up with the bug that won’t allow you to sprint. Most of my Predator builds are useless at the moment.

Everyone plays differently

Now when we’re running with patch 2.08 the only viable Predator loadouts i’ve seen are the ones that focus plasma caster. There are currently too many game breaking bugs for the Predator to make any other weapon usable.
This build below is for fighting against a well co-ordinated Fireteam and not random potatoe heads, for randoms you can go with just about any build. Ment for fighting them at a distance, engaging in close combat will get you killed for sure.

Hunter / Scout

Yautja Bow
Katana or Smart Disc(if your ping is low and you have the piloting skills for it)

Healing Kit
Bear Trap / Motion Detector

Energy Cell
Medic
Lightbender, Modified Reserve or Large Pouch

Description how to use the loadout:

Stay on range as often as you can and activate cloak right before you’re going to fire off fully charged Plasma Caster bolts. Try stay covered by a cliff’s edge, building or any other obstacle a couple of seconds to hide your laser, when your character is about to fire the plasma bolt you move out from your cover, shoot and go back behind it(requires practice to time it).
Don’t stay in the same location for too long, 2-3 bolts then switch to a new one, remember that you’re completely invisible in cloaked mode even when moving beyond 50m. Traversing in the trees will give away your position because of the falling leaves from the branches.

Weapons:
Primary weapon to down FT players with is the Plasma Caster, finish them off with the bow.
The reason why the combistick is not in the build is because it currently causes bugs, the Katana is actually a pretty ok weapon for hit-and-runs if you’d end up vs 1 or 2 players.

Gear:
Healing Kit is an obvious choice. Bear Trap for Hunter, Motion Detector for Scout.

Perks:
Energy Cell gives you a much bigger energy pool.
Medic makes you heal up alot faster with the Healing Kit aswell as in Second Wind.
Your third perk is about your own personal taste.

  • Do you want the cloak to consume less energy? Lightbender.
  • Do you want faster energy regeneration? Modified Reserve.
  • Do you think you will need 2 extra Healing Kits and traps? Large Pouch. Sometimes you can’t rely on the boars spawning or the Fireteam might guard them.
  • A fourth option would be Cooling Syncs if you’re not so good at calculating how much energy your plasma bolts will cost and therefore you will get energy overload, putting you off the game for ~13 seconds.

The game currently favors the Fireteam so much, the only working tactic against good premade Fireteam players is this pretty effective but lame tactic, really doesn’t take any skill but it does the job.
Until Illfonic fix the bugs this loadout is what i’d personally recommend.

Hunter 87. Due to his exclusivity 😝

Combistick,(atm) bow, health kit, motion detector, audio decoy, PLASMA CASTER! can’t stress that enough(with bow as follow up).
Dithered lense, down rang and hight advantage…
-before this shit patch i was running branchmaster instead of down range.
