Predator weapon recovery

Add in interaction requirement for the predator to pick up the spear, disk, and arrows. This would help the current spear spam meta, and spamming in general, because throwing your combistick into the middle of the Fireteam wouldn’t be such a great idea if it took a moment to pick it back up. I am not asking for anything too long, maybe just a fraction of a second.

Disagree on this one. Sitting still for even a second is a death wish

FT must stick together at all times for the best chance at success

He shouldn’t have to switch back to it after he picks it back up though. 💯

This is honestly a horrible idea

I’m not opposed to a button push to recover Combi or disc but a delay beyond a button press would be to much.

Dude the spear and the disc goes right through the FT like if they were ghost what else do you want.

Let’s just make the predator stand still at all times while we’re at it.

That could work into it. Picking up would auto equip the disk or combistick.

That’s the point. There are a few predators that have realized that tossing the combi into the Fireteam leap in then out and repeat is a meta tactic. Just seems a little trashy, but I’ve done it too. Predators are weaker now, but I just hope that every match doesn’t turn into that particular fight.

Fair enough. I would just appreciate anything that lasts longer that the magically instant leap in-and-out method.

If FT are watching each other’s backs this tactic is not very viable imo

The biggest problem with FT is the lack of communication and general team work

I don’t know how. It’s low risk high reward for the predator.

I just think it’s very easy to see the Pred when he’s cloaked and moving and easily punishable when standing in place.

An insane amount of damage can be dealt against Preds in these situations

If Pred chucks his spear his focus has to be on one FT. The other 3 can dump on him then

Predator throws one of his primary weapons at one ft for some damage. Then must run into the FT to recover it. But wait now he has to stop in place and get locked into a animation so I get a guaranteed headshots or deal half his hp in a second with an smg because pred is punished for using weapons lol.

Sure OP, but only if we make FT’s guns jam halfway through the extended mag when spraying and they have to stop and interact with it before they can fire again.

Just ask for aim assist to help console track a leaping pred instead of inventing reasons to make the pred stand still.

I would agree if the throw and disc became 1 hit KO weapons for anything not Support.

Very much disagree this would be a very big nerf to the only viable strat in the game

Next patch is charged caster only.

And we all know that must be nerfed because you can slow walk it around corners or stare at a wall while charging xd

I understand your point, but isn’t it almost instantaneous to aim then throw? You don’t have to stand still for more than a moment.

One moment is all it takes for preddy to be squished IF FT are on point

Only viable? Easier than any other strat, I agree.
