Pred Perk - Impenetrable?

#1

How about making this perk somewhat useful? Fireteam get so damn many dmg buffs it makes this perk redundant at the same time it almost makes it a necessity.

I mean, an Assault with Deadly+Yautja’s Bane deals +30% dmg to a Pred with Assault Rifles, +20% with all other bullet based weapons. Hell, even without any dmg buffs/perks most Preds can be downed with one mag from the “good” assault rifles… if you hit.

And yes, I main FT. I just feel sorry for Pred players that the only viable playstyle is jumping around like a kangaroo and chip away the FTs health.

well yeah 10% bullet reduction is pretty laughable when you look at FT dmg buffs but remember hunter/scout has a passive impen which would be 20%/17% reduction i think if you take impen on them

then there is the tree one which gives 25% dmg reduction when in a tree

imo the tree dmg reduction and impen should just be combined as one perk that costs 5-or 6 points

Well, they’ve buffed it to 20% but increased the cost to 6pts so you can’t combine it with Height Advantage on certain classes. So now you’ll get a 42.5% damage reduction in trees for 11pts😒

I don’t run it on any builds. High cost, not enough damage reduction, and lots of FT use weapons it doesn’t address. Energy and explosives.

City Hunter took the same amount of bullets to down as normal Hunter. So guess that one also has a passive dmg reduction.
