Predator Needs More Ways to Find the FT

#1

Considering that a dedicated (and lucky) FT can complete all their objectives in ~4 minutes, the Predator needs to have a more reliable way to track down the FT, especially at the beginning of a match. I’ve had matches where I only ever encountered them once (and was forced to retreat and heal) and the only reason I found them again was because they signaled the chopper for evac. Total time stalking/attacking the FT was probably 30-45 seconds.

Either the Predator needs the ability to waste less of his time probing the map for activity, or the FT’s objectives need to be more time-consuming to give the Predator a more reasonable chance to fish them out.

I feel like the objectives have been balanced so that a single fireteam member can do them alone within 15 min.

I think they should consider adding 5 min to the total game time and increasing the time to complete objectives. This would give Predators more time to attempt to use various strategies to engage the fireteam…and most games don’t go a full 15 min anyway so maybe this would actually increase the average game length to be actually closer to 15 min.

If left alone a FT can be out in 3-4 minutes.

It’s either bugged or mud interferes with it. Whenever I activate it for the first time, I don’t see anything. There’s no big red circle.

Using the target Isolation tool, I can consistently get to the Fire Team within 1-2 Mins as Predator. I also do not see people ending games within 4 mins consistently, or very much at all. Maybe this is due to the pressure I have been putting on people or the specific mission type they receive. If it is in regards to mission type then that is just RNG… I do not believe the predator should have his health reduced at all, a Fire Team with good teamwork can down a Predator in a single engagement.

Odd to be bugged for just one person, but possible I guess.

Target isolation consistently fails for me. I feel lucky when it works. With mud and silencers if I don’t find them in 4 minutesish I just leave. Predators get forced to yolo due to time constraints and lack of information. If I knew where a fire team was all game I could play it nice and slow but it always feels like you’ll only get a shot or two to engage. If I knew where the objective or reinforcement spot was I could set a trap but wishful thinking I suppose.

I don’t think it’s just me. The next time you play Predator, try using the target isolation at the beginning of the match.

Spawn, leap 3-4 times towards center of map, fire off target isolation, locate blob, check map to see where they spawned, see where blob heads, open map to see where objective is.

Yeah doesn’t work dude. Even in the center of the map.

This should be in the Bug Thread then :) @KnifeInUrNeck

#16

Take a video, post it in the bug forum. It has worked every time I hit the button with one exception when the FT was at the opposite edge of the map.

Could be like a class ability for the tracker predator from predators. Maybe have two only and have them do a recon search then mark em make em squishy too so their not broken. Or you can have them attack or distract the ft so you can plan you’re attack lol. Now that’s something

I feel you, but it doesn’t fit the lore with our clan of Yautja. The Super Predator and Upgrade Predator, have no respect for the Hunting Code and are deemed cheaters, by using animals.

Come on man this game is based on the predator franchise who cares. it makes the game fresh and gives you options to hunt different ways. How much longer is it gonna be fun to run to the center of map and play marco polo with the isloation tracker. Expanded upon the mechanics not restrict them
