I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying that the predator needs to be buffed bc it’s too difficult to win as predator in the game’s current state… However, I feel like the predator could live up to expectations if there was sufficient time to actually strategize and hunt each member. Unfortunately due to renforcements being available in roughly 60 seconds and some objectives that only take a few minutes means that you have to rush to get kills before the ft renforces and fucks off in the chopper.
Predator can’t hunt

If the time of the whole game is simply doubled, I think Predator can fight in the current environment.
Yes remove the timer. Or make it longer. Having to rush around is the opposite of what a predator should be doing.
I agree not enough time to hunt and the reinforcement is broken.

I was playing with some people last night and someone came with the idea of having a longer game with nonstop objectives and the chopper becomes available after a set time. As soon as the chopper was available you could either get to the choppa or keep risking it to get more exp and money.
I think it was a good idea

I like that idea if you do not antagonize a fireteam from the first few minutes of a game they’re basically ready to exfil within 5 minutes that should not be a thing especially when some objectives are all in the same village/area
I also think this is why the beserker class so popular because you can wipe a fireteam before they have a chance to do the first objective if you give predator a chance to actually hunt prey I fell it would cut down on the toxicity but I do believe very heavily combitick and beserker needs a nerf people that say otherwise only play predator and don’t play fireteam

I used to be frustated about the reinforcements, but now I accept that the predator must die or simply lose in the end, cuz the rules are totally against him, and maybe it was meant to be like this.
So I play for fun, trying new strategies, weapons and perks over and over, killing fireteam members here and there. I don’t care anymore if they win in the end, cuz I know in my mind that I killed some of them but they were revived later, and that’s not my fault.
At least they count the kills you’ve got in the final score regardless of reinforcements or not.
It’s a losing game, and I know it. Maybe one day it will be balanced.
Play for fun right now, and pray that one day illfonic understand the meaning of " Predator hunting grounds".

It doesn’t sound like hour playing predator right I can wipe a fireteam with ease? Are the people saying that predator needs a buff think he’s a god and because you can bumrush a fireteam and kill them
All within seconds he’s weak? Which you can do that with the beserker and combistick but 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️

I don’t like the idea to pick up a brute with a combstick and throw myself into people and wipe them up cuz this so easy!. I don’t know, but I think this is not the predator way. We should be able to play this in a smart way. So I want them to make the other two classes useful too and faithfull to the movie.
I’ve been playing a lot (only as the predator) and I’m starting to figure out about the flaws in his gameplay (it’s only my opinon ok)
-The noises the beast does when it gets close to the fireteam makes it nearly impossible to get a silent aproach. I would like they increased the interval between those noises.
-Reinforcements should be cut or they should limit very hard the player that comes back, making it easier for a second take down.
-The predator should be able to carry the these three itens together to the fight (medkit, audio decoy and bear trap). Cureently you can bring only two of them.
-as always, I would ask again for a lock in feature when you are in close to midrange distance of a fireteam member (just like PREDATOR CONCRETE JUNGLE).
I’m improving as the predator, I feel it, but I still believe that he’s still far from being competitive against other 4 players working together who have rapid fire guns, advanced scopes and plenty resources for healing and reviving themselves. The time to hunt them is also so short as well. Berseker can do the job I know, but… What fun do we get by playing this way? We deserve more!

I agree. The matches need to be at least 20 minutes.
THIS! This right here is a HUGE problem…
People tell me all the time my pred plsy is too wreckless, and it is. Because i always feel under the knife.
Before i learned how to track with the heat vision, i had matches where the fire team had called in evac before i ever even seen them.
The pace of the game is all whack AF.
And FT has 100% control over it.

I was also thinking about the essence of this game, and I came to understand a little, why the predator is so weak (or different) compared to the fireteam.
I believe the fireteam is the lower level of this game, so it’s acceptable that the players get the easiest part of the whole!
It’s alright ! If you look at the PREDATOR’S CODE, it implies a very hard work
The true hunters are the ones that are submited to extreme chalenges. You can see in the movies
they seek BIG PREY!, BIG CHALENGE! the harder it is, the greater is the honor received.
So I understand this lack of power seem in this game, maybe the devs took this in account.
So we predator players, are a higher class of players compared to the fireteam players.
They are the noobs! they have the power, the resourses, while we are THE WARRIORS
I afraid illfonic won’t change to much cuz I believe this is what it was meant to be since the begining. A honored hunter trying to overcome an absurd chalenge.
But I’m also afraid that many people wont understand or simply wont comply with this and the game might one day suffer from a substantial decrease in the numbero of predator players, and that would be the end of the game!
To end this thought… I believe some changes are really necessary for the sake of true balance but not to much changes, cuz we are superior! we are predators, and the main aspect of the predator’s code is “The challenge”.
Inthink the devs just screwed the pooch and made the games main antagonist a wimp completely by accident…
But thats just my opinion… 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Try using a scout build that focuses on killing them at a distance. When they come to revive, after you down one, just shoot another charged plasma shot and you have 2 down. The rest fall like dominos.
I had thought the same thing, until I changed up my tactics. It takes a lil while to get used to, but MAAAAAN IS IT FUUUUUN!

I get what the Predator truthers think they’re seeing when they say Predators are totally viable and somehow everyone else is doing it wrong. But I think they don’t realize they’re capitalizing on Fireteam mistakes, and there isn’t really any mechanism to force Fireteam errors.
There’s no reason for them to ever be split up. There’s no reason for them to ever be standing still out in the open and un-mudded for a plasma caster shot. There’s no reason for them to ever be standing still and out of position so tightly packed that the plasma caster downs multiples. There’s no reason a downed Fireteam member can’t crawl under cover for a rescue instead of sitting out in the open for an easy pick off.
Nobody is disputing the theory of approach for optimal Predator play. It’s just entirely built on unforced errors the Fireteam doesn’t have to make
Yes we need longer rounds

I’ve played only a few games as predator, as soon as I had the combistick I decided to try it out as a zerker to see if it was really all that easy, and boy was it ever? I actually decided to play with my prey. Stalking, placing some traps just to get them scared, some decoys, managed to down one with plasma just for the lolz of it.
I was close to the guys the whole time and didn’t get a scratch. When they called for the chopper I was actually on top of them in a tree. Just jumped, killed one, ran in a wide circle, downed two with a single combo and then downed the fourth one. The chopper must have been only 10 seconds away. One of the dudes just ragequit.
I’m really afraid these cheese strats are gonna kill the game too early on.
My playstyle is also based on luring the fireteam members, laying out bear traps, shooting with the plasma caster and eventualy killing one of them with the smart disc. I’t’s fun and rewarding to kill as the predator cuz his weapons are so lame compared to 4 other players helping each other, healing, and even “ressurecting” the fallen. But in this current state of the game I just play for fun.
If you get to play against experienced players you will die for sure (or some of them will escape)
I wish I had more time to play videogames. But I do what I can. I hope ifffonic fix this game.
IGN gave it a score of 5 (mediocre), and that’s what this game deserves right now, an almost one sided experience. I totally agree with the reviewer. But this game will change for better, I know it. They will have to do another review later.
Yes! You CAN win the game against people, but in places it is unjustifiably difficult and monotonous, plasma is a caster bro, he can very quickly kill people, even take one shot 4 people BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT… this is NOT HUNT!
