Predator class stat discrepency

#1

Why does the hunter “the most balanced class” have 12 stat bars numerically speaking and also has 12 perk points and a hidden passive of bullet damage resistance that was given to him this only doesn’t apply to shotguns and explosives

while the zerker has 10 1/4 & slightly higher melee dmg & 9 perk points

scout has 10 1/4 & 15 perk points that he can’t possibly use all of and bonus stam regen and the same resistance that hunter has but slightly less he might have cooling syncs? don’t know some people also claim his vision costs are less but i don’t sit in vision long enough on any predator to notice visions costs

elder has 11 & 12 perk points if the elder has a unique passive i would guess it’s cloak cost is less

samurai has 10 and a half & 10 perk points i do not know what his unique passive could be

why does the most balanced class get to have the most stats and alot of perk points and a good passive? which in turn more or less makes him the best predator
i could understand it if each of the other classes all had a unique passive to make up for it like zerker’s melee damage (which was nerfed lol when he was the weakest predator) however I don’t know if thats true if it is please make that information known

what i’m asking for here is either for the hunter to be nerfed or the other classes to get buffed
as an example the hunter should have 10 and 3/4 stats and probably the same or 11 perk points to make him the happy middle man

I brought this up numerous times. Each category should be dropped by one. This would balance it out much better. The Hunter is the “Jack of all trades” but shouldn’t be strong in each category, only average since it’s not a “specialist”. The other classes take huge hits in some categories because of their specialization.

I think what they are going for here is:

Hunter - most points in basic stats and good perk, nothing passive.

Scout / Berserker - less basic stat points and passive energy consumption/melee damage/movement and stamina tweaks.

The others no idea I do not have them unlocked/purchased.

Not saying this system is working, but however they weigh these things on their internal scale must come out to be equal on someone’s radar. We have to hope at least.

keep in the stats listed are

HP
Stamina
Movespeed
Gear
perks

what isn’t listed is energy, damage bonus’s and reductions (which hunter also has for some reason?), and regeneration which i do know scout has bonus stam regen but i wouldn’t say thats worth the 2 blocks of stats he is missing when i can just take a perk to solve that problem on a hunter and it only costs 3 perk points to do so

I agree and I think many other do as well. The current system (as you just laid out in detail) is not the best nor is it producing equally viable Predators.

I laid out a similar thing while talking about FT point distribution.
What I’d like to do is have it structured like a role playing game so eventually we could build our own classes. Doing so for the Yautja would be cool too.

15 points divided by 5 categories. With each perk or gear point translating to 3 spendable points. So if you have gear 2, you get 6 gear points. If you have 4 perk, you get 12 points.

Here’s the link…

This is why i asked for them to give us actual class attritbutes same as fireteam has where it shows mud lasts longer and shit like that xD.

I’ve also mentioned this several times already. The stats should be equalized. Hunter and Elder are the currently superior Preds. SamPred and 'Zerker are generally easy to take down, unless they spam the netgun at every oppertunity… And Scout, unless played by a really good player, is just an instadown… generally dont face many Scouts though, since only good Predator players would be insane enough to choose a class that is less tanky than a Heavy Armor NPC.

And for the most part, I find 95%+ of Preds I face as FT to be easy wins… even when considering that I usually get 1 or 2 players on the team that seem to be oblivious to the Pred being nearby and barely shoot at it… if I am lucky those players are good bait.

Work dammit!

#13

Jesus this week too? Fuck that’s a 14 day mandatory vacation must be nice

#14

Hell… I aint going on vacay until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out.

#15

Probably just means they were ahead of the production schedule. That said, I’m not entirely sure when the week started or ends.

Enjoy your break illfonic, I hope you all come back to work refreshed and ready to get those new maps/modes up and running.

Can I just get this out there. NOTHING should be HIDDEN. These hidden passives are absolutely ridiculous.

Its bad enough we don’t really know what half the perks actually do!

true or that like 2 of them don’t actually work in the predators case lol

fun fact the directional audio perk and the fast hands perk don’t actually work

#18

elder can parkour better than hunter… thats about it… doesnt matter when FT turns down setting all the way… makes parkour system useless
