Okay straight up you two just pumped me up lol
Predators are we concerned?....
It seems broken for now until we test it other wise it seems fine besides some concerns
Now assuming they’ll be nerf and buffs I’m not amazingly worried the ft will be even more op
1.is the emp grenade gonna be like an energy overload
2.self revives gonna get annoying

It would help if they showcased their updates like other companies. DBD does it best in that regard

I think it will just further force us to be better Predators, lazy tactics and blind rushing may work less often now that FT has gear that will help defend against it, it means that we will have to be smarter and more cunning. There is no glory against weak prey or in trophies that were not earned. I’d rather get chased around the map by a good Fireteam than come in and decimate one in less than 2 min…maybe these toys will kind of buffer the skill gap for randos or casuals to add more mix up to the EXP and make the already top class players even harder to deal with which again is fine by me, makes it all the more worthwhile of a hunt. And now that we can do PC invites it opens up even more options 😎
I don’t think we’ve really gotten any new weapons that were superior to what came before. Although like beauty the usefulness of a weapon depends on the (eye of the) beholder. We have had buffs to some weapons, sure, but most would agree the bow, Combistick - even after being nerfed to near oblivion, and elder sword are the most reliable weapons and we have had them from the beginning.
That being said, the anti-cloak and self revive business doesn’t sound like it’ll lead to any improvement on The Supposed Predator Style. People always say predators should use their stealth, stalk and pick off prey one at a time, don’t rush in, etc. Which is fine because I agree. However the rushed fire team missions and revive make that a challenge already. And the cloak’s usefulness is limited - so why throw in a grenade to make it even more useless? Also against the really good teams it’s hard work taking even one player down. When you do it’s often helpful to use them as bait - but now that might not be an option.
Anyway we will ultimately have to wait to see exactly how these weapons will work - it may not be as bad as I am fearing.
I’m not gonna lie I’m worried about the new stuff like it’s easy to melt a predator with anything and keeping in mind you can get all 4 ft members to carry this stuff. Like the predator gadgets haven’t mattered too much the katana was alright but tracking wasn’t that great, wrist launcher doesn’t do much damage by itself and you only get 14. This game really makes the predator work for his kills but it should be the other way around and it doesn’t feel like that cause ft can just melt the predator in seconds.

Can’t use stealth when they’re back on the chopper after 4 mins. FT fail to realize that it was they, who created the monster of the pred rusher. Your cowardice has forced us to be ruthless.

personally right now i’m cautiously optimistic as right now it looks like the new tools for the FT are to help deal with ranged predators (which is the stronger of the 2 glaring strategies) albeit i’m actually terrified of how powerful a UAV scanner is going to be cause this might actually allow premades to always kill predators in 2nd wind if it’s a directional drone however if it’s just a radar enhancement (so they click a button and the predator if he is within radius of the scanner is auto marked) then worst case scenario it just makes it really hard for the predator to do anything cause you always know where he is at set intervals (meaning the scanner would say ping every 8 seconds marking the predator if he is within range)
the rifle is obv going to be the best AR that’s what happend with the hammer head so i have no reason to think otherwise they did it to the predator when the alpha was exclusive as the sickle during that time was the best melee weapon in the game they have a history of doing this so that’s just that
the anti cloak grenade i’m assuming is going to be like that aoe shield drain device from Halo 3 where you throw the thing and within it’s radius it drains cloak or at least causes the water effect on the predator negating cloak if it is an actual emp grenade then it probably won’t be a huge issue as you’d have to be accurate with your tosses in the first place which in my experiance most players aren’t good at cooking their grenades
Self reviving syrette which will hopefully cost 6 gear points and will just get annoying but not a huge deal as now can rely less on your team to do the right thing since they will know you have it at the loadout screen… unless it gives them a large hp pool on use (imagine if this syrette gives a fallen fireteam 120 hp when they rez themselves which is more than normal rez now it could also give only 30 hp but a they specifically refered to this as helping deal with melee zerkers so i’m assuming it’s the later not the former
and if we look before that we got
Dutch which immediately invalidated the recon class
hammerhead which was just better than all of the other assault rifles
wheras the predator we got
sickle that was op but then when the alpha went live to everyone it was nerfed into the floor
alpha was just hunter but looks diffrent
A katana that was not good as it didn’t shake the meta at all eldersword was and is still king of melee
a samurai predator that was just worse than all other predator types
an elder predator that was the only good addition to the predator class list
City hunter which is obj broken and just directly better than all other predator types but he is buggy as hell
wrist launcher which is just a good piece of gear almost as good as bear traps
so yeah did we get anything on the same level? no we didn’t not until city hunter albeit we don’t know what the new FT gear will do but these are my takes atm

I’m optimistic cause with the new FT content… balance changes have to happen… so yeah
And as a FT main, I agree. I’m concerned that the new FT stuff is going to be a crutch for unskilled/bad FTs and foster alot of really bad habits, as if we didn’t have enough of those already (Reinforcement suicide strat, I’m looking at you!).
As always, I value and respect your opinions because you actually do the math instead of letting feelings influence your decisions👍🏼💯
no, is good to maintain a balance betwen those…but at the same time it should be the favor more for the predator…cuz as i said a million times this is predator hunting grounds not FT
the FT should be very strategicly to kill a predator not staying behind and shot him when he make a move or apear on the site…
and if this game was supposed to play more as a stealth game…not like now (call of duty with a predator) would be better.
a fine mechanic for the ft will be the Ghost reacon future soldier style, and im not talking about the items and clock…im talking about the movement and stealthkills, that s a team game…
here when a ft picks duch or 3 supports or 3 recons is gg…
and for predator too…something new will be awsome…like more items, and more realism…
and when i said this i mean why do i need to take out an ft member down 3 times so i can make a stealth kill…
there is a lot to talk about this but still…
patches of bug fixes, new map and mod wont change anything…is the player that will change the game experience…
a full ft members pro on pc or a predator with map knowlegde and rush in like in CS GO wont change the experience for those on ps4 or those who play for the first time.

I’m thinking the self-revive will get them up but not heal them or not very much, otherwise it’d be pointless to have regular syringe.
Even toying around with the FT gets boring, too. I hope the new items even the playing field.

Wait explain this part? Whens a good time to even use these? Poke when energy is overloaded?
Seems like a worse alternative for a gear slot.
I think there jusr good gear as unlike say audio decoy or motion detector which are negated by a perk these at least are a decent ranged tool I mostly only use them to kill downed FT on my city hunter or when I feel like trying to wristclaw someone and like the bear trap with good aim/placement the ft can’t just be rid of them making them just a good gear option considering how few gear pred has I’d def say it’s the 2nd best thing since I can’t put medkits as number 1 since it’s not a fair comparison
Nope. Not worried at all. I know how to mix up and when and when not to engage in close quarters combat. The nades will most likely be nothing but a slight inconvenience. The UAV seems like it will be used as something you plant in the mission area. The self revive is nothing because I already dont let ppl stay alive when downed.
Predators!!
Fear not these meager attempts at intimidation!! For centuries, we have hunted and slain the most lethal of adversaries!!
Let us go forth and commit to ending the pathetic existence of all who wield these weapons against us!!
With blades!! With spears!! With Bows!! For the Yautja!! For the hunt!!
(Insert derpy predator roar)

I hope so from what I have seen I tired of the predator winning 80% of games and matches I’ve played/ seen on youtube. If it means FT can win 40% of the matches I’ll take it.
Then city hunter over in the corner. “Hey wants some candy”
