Definitely man. Hope to see you in the jungle. :)
Predator Gear/Traps need to be destroyable

That’s actually a pretty good trick, that i’ve never seen ingame yet, nor thought about myself. So I guess you ran into this tactic 1 time and thought that should not be possible?
The bear traps as of now (and in every other situation) are easy to spot and avoid and the predator only has 3 of them. If he mangages to utilize them in such an intelligent way… good game.

Oh I love placing them at my feet when I get knife lunatics. XD.
I’ve ran into it a couple times. It’s like trapped, untrap, trapped again, untrap, trapped again, untrap, THEN you can call if the predator isn’t already on top of you. -_- I would be happy if you could crouch through them.
Yep. Used that one myself a couple of times. It is, kinda, unfair towards the last FT member standing, but I just couldn’t resist ;-)
I don’t think I have run into you though. I do not recognize your name from in-game.
Yeah I think trapping the spawn is a bit bad. Perhaps @IllFonic can make the spawn a safe area, so no traps allowed.
When I see someone gong for respawn I just follow and plant a motion detector on the roof. I let them spawn, allow them to move around for a few seconds then continue their nightmare 😈

No his weapons shouldn’t be able to be destroyed. If you have the perk to see traps, then that team member alone should be able to destroy traps or sensors. Everyone else will have to rely on that team member or their eyes. If the trap is set by the radio, it should still call the reinforcements. Does this not happen? Also if he decides to wait to use traps for reinforcements, then that means he’s not using them when you guys are on the objective. Most people play fireteam cuz it’s harder to play predator. The people who want to nerf the fireteam are shitty predators.

Three bear traps at the reinforcement radio means that the Predator only has one left at most. He’s taking a huge gamble by using all or most of his traps because that means he can’t use them when fighting the FT and he needs you guys to not ignore the radio. I’m pretty sure the bear traps can be destroyed by shooting at them.
No. Get over it.
Trap stacking was an issue in Friday too, it will likely be restructured at some point. I don’t mind traps near the radio, but there should be a chance to get through imo.
Besides you could just throw a motion detector there if you want an earlier alert.
Discs can be destroyed, we destroyed one a while ago and estimated that it took about 30 rounds so only slightly less health than a Scout Predator… Just realized that.
Point being keep shooting it, it probably just takes more hits that you might think. Space metal and all that jazz.
Trapping the reinforcement radio is fair in my opinion. I do not personally use bear traps but often mark it with a motion detector. Not so much for the alert but so I can quickly head there if I feel FT is going for a reinforce.
Once the notification pops, Predator has about 15 seconds to react. Finding the radio and spending resources on it ahead of time is a gamble and gives the FT more time to do objectives and such.
And to be fair, if there is only one FT left then most of the time you have already lost the match at that point.

Maybe they could bring some kind of new gadget for the FT to throw and disable a trap? That’d be something i can live with.
I tried shooting them a couple of time, but the bullets seem to be blocked by that round cloak field around it. Like some force field.
I don’t get it the reinforcements time is already short and doesn’t pause when the Predator is near. The bear trap is a counter play let it be, he gave up time to find the reinforcement radio.
Really? I could’ve sworn that I destroyed a couple in the past.
This game threw authenticity out the window along time ago.

I would rather take 6 seconds to untrap for 1 than having to untrap myself 5 times and only move 2 cm. closer to the radio. I’m not saying the predator shouldn’t be able to trap the reinforcements, but give players a chance to call for help by either crouch walking through it or create a safe zone where the predator can’t stack traps RIGHT ON TOP of each other. Maybe a 2-5m prevention space between traps.

Sometimes, you don’t even need to booby trap spawns, on Overgrowth, if a FT Radio is in the Red Shed near Construction Infill/Exfill, you can shoot a charged Plasma Caster bolt through the window and hit like 2+ Gasoline Jugs alongside anyone there.
some of the predators stuff can be destroyed like the motion sensor can be , all you have to do is shot it a few times with any gun when you see it, the easy way to spot it when it beeps look around the area when the beep went off it is usauly in plain view but people don’t notice or see it when there is a shootout with the predator or AI . I think each bear trap should be only usable once and not reset after someone get free from it so if someone else steps on it they get trapped. Also i heard that you can shoot the net off someone if they get netted but i could be wrong
That’s true lol
