Predator buff(?) idea

#1

illfonic hates the idea of the predator using ranged weapons, right? thats why we have all the stupid melee stuff, most of which are not effective at all. well, illfonic, maybe you should provide us with an incentive to actually use melee weapons. and no, im not talking about bullet damage resistance.

make all the melee weapons (except default wrist blades and smart disc) inflict the bleeding effect on fireteam members upon a successful hit. the bleeding is not affected by Fearless perk, or specializations.

however, the field syrettes and medkits (both item and map versions) immediately stop the effect.

im 90% sure this idea will get shut down immediately by my fellow forum trolls, but im curious to hear others peoples thoughts on this possible mechanic.

I love the bleed. That’s also why I’m currently using the Katana 90% of the time. Add bleed to smart disk and arrows, too!

nah, id say keep ranged weapons like disc and bow away from bleeding. smart disc does enough damage as it currently is, and the bow slows targets movement. we just need the bow’s damage to get back to what it originally was before 3.00 and up the arrow count back to 30

amazon ghost with fearless is pretty effective

sure, it won’t make you win against good premades, but against the average potato/mid-tier players, you are surely gonna score some wins

Unless they’re running the minigun. I tried using Amazon Fearless with Sickle and its effective but if they’re using the minigun, it shreds you up fast.

that’s definitely the current melee combat meta. amazon ghost with fearless can down support class in two shots from secondary hook attack

idk if you watch naskopz, but he’s beaten a few known players with that build in private matches

I agree with the idea. As long as it wouldn’t be stacked with the stun effect some melee weapons already have.

I’ve died a few times to a psn player that has become my nemesis. sadly can’t do much with 3 potatoes and haven’t met him with at least someone decent playing on my side

I was gonna make a similar post about melee weapons. If Illfonic wants predator players to use melee weapons more often, then they should buff them so that they’re actually good.

Maybe illfonic should play their own game.
