Predator Uncontrolled Melee

The melee has a mind of its own and some times attacks on it’s own, which as we all know takes you out of cloak. It usually happens at opportune times like just before you sneak attack or when your trying to leap and get away taking bullets in the back.

Holy shit this. It’s awful.

I don’t think it’s a bug though I believe its a part of the ability to queue melee attacks between weapon swaps. Needs to be way more user friendly though.

I find this happens most frequently just after weapon swaps. I swap to my bow but I can’t aim it yet but by reflex I’m already trying to draw an arrow. I end up doing a melee swipe and now need to bail.

Yep if anyone wasn’t aware if you start a melee and switch weapons you can “hold” that melee attack until you switch back. So in theory say you’re using sword and “hold” the melee by switching after the first attack. Once you eventually switch back to sword, your next swing with that sword will be with the 2nd hit in the combo.

I just don’t think it should decide to melee for you & clear the queue when you’re trying to aim.

Is this specific to the Predator, or does this happen with the Fireteam. I rarely okay as Predator so wouldn’t have noticed, and queuing attacks is news to me.

I’ve only noticed as Pred, it has made me tear through medkits before due time getting shot in the back while running away

Ditto. This gas also happened to me, the Predator will keep attacking every few seconds with no button input.
