Play a competent team and you will have your world changed. you will see there is no predator that can compete with a good team.

I would have to say no. I think for the most part it’s pretty balanced. But when you’re faced with a well coordinated FT, I do think the Predators ability to deal damage is inadequate. Especially at range and especially given overall lack of stealth.
The #1 problem is those fire teams that won’t get out of each others asses. Pred has no way to break those apart. Well. He does. But reinforcements break him.

Predators will probably be forever op against randoms. Same way with Evolve and Dead by Daylight. But coordinating teams? Whole different story.
It happened twice yesterday to me. I couldn’t even get close to 500 m from them without having my life melted down. And I was moving so fast between trees and buildings, but they are 4, and their aim and weapons were so much better than the preds arsenal.
They were in a private chat too. they planned every move.
The cloak is totally useless even from very far and I kept reciving that “spotted” message all the time no matter the branch, building or place I was passing by.
Against noobs or average teams its okay to easy, but against real FT players is an almost impossible fight. To make things worse in that match, no pigs were spawned in the entire map.

I’ve gotten white skulls a couple of times but have not been able to execute. I’m not sure what I did to have it pop up. I know it doesn’t last long either.
So does anyone know how exactly to get the white skull? and Also what are best ways to follow through?
I’m sorry but the Predator is just as OP as a random clone trooper during the Galactic Empire era.
FT with knife: UNLIMITED POWEEEEEEEEER

Predator OP @Malinkadink?? Not at all. I was putzing around this morning as my Berserker and came across a well organized Fireteam. I dipped in to Attack prematurely, not paying full attention to my spatial awareness or setups. I tried to ambush them when they were shooting AI at the Dish Base in Backwater (I want to Leap on to them damnit!!). They took my Health down quickly which led me to my Second Wind. I quickly leaped away and tried to heal thinking I was far enough away. As before, I wasn’t paying full attention to my surroundings. The next thing I know, I’m ganged up by all 4 of them and was fed a hearty Lead Salad.
That was my first loss in a while. It made me re-examine my Strategies. The following rounds of Hunting went as usual. While it sucked to lose, I definitely learned a bit.
My point in all of this?? You can have Perks like Fearless and Impenetrable with a Berserker but still get melted by a well organized Fireteam. In the reverse, you can have the same Predator Build, but in the Hands of an average Player, go against a merely OK unorganized Fireteam and lose.
Back to earlier today, I queued up with some decent Fireteam players in-between Predator Matches and we melted a Berserker atop the Stairs where we had to pour the Chemicals into the Barrels (in Derailed). Full, 100% Body extraction and everything.
It all boils down into how you play into your Strengths and work on your Weaknesses. I’ve had modest success with the Scout and ‘87 Jungle Hunter but only because I wasn’t adapting my Playstyle to their Archetypes. Berserker works well for me because I love to Stalk from mid-range and go in aggressively for the thrill of High Risk/High Reward.
A lot of People are generally crying foul because they’re not exploring their Options and experimenting.
I bet they feel more powerful on PC as aiming with a mouse is much better. On console though it can be a nightmare lining up a bow shot while 4 guys are machine gunning the jungle.
