Every game I now just see the predator walking like nothing is happening and then killing a FT member then taking his skull and doing the same thing to another FT member while taking little damage. I get it people want him to be scary but come on, taking machine gun damage and explosive damage while taking a skull 2x out in the front of everyone is kinda dumb now. I not played pred for 2 months now on hunt because of 8 min wait time. But however I do like how he can’t been from a far now
Predators can now just edge walk to victory now
@sabercat, what you are describing is happening, yes, but only if you have a combination of two factors - good or very good, experienced pred main + random, not very well coordinated FT. If fire team is coordinated, players are on comms then there is no hope in hell even a very good pred will be able to pull a “walk away like a boos” stunt without getting melted to second wind in seconds. Its also a matter of perks used by FT. If two or more are running bane, then it will be a very short game for the pred.

This is happening in like 90% of random games that I’ve played (not much since its extremely frustrating). The predator can be just decent, its ENOUGH in randoms. Before I could protect my team and carry against a decent predator since I could SEE HIM at a distance and shoot him with my assault rifle (I don’t do snipers). Now? Its hunting season and my team mates are ducks. Good predators had 80-90% win rate in randoms before, I’ve seen people saying even 99%! You don’t need a good predator to fuck up randoms now.
Practically, what you said there is go premade or stop playing HUNT. I choose the later and with CLASH around more and more players are going to chose option 2.
The seriously need to do something about this and FAST, I already don’t think you’re going to get back players that moved to clash.

I can see your point, yes, I have noticed that even for me(I’m very average at best) its bit more easy to sneak up on a full PC squad (still end up totally murdered, but at least got close to them ;-)), however, that is what predator is meant to be - a fear element, stealth force that is likely to strike you out of nowhere. Its more difficult for FT just now but only because ppl are used to the fact Pred was unable to sneak up on you, and want to melt him from distance like before the patch… what can I say…
Seems very spot on ;-)
The thing is the other side needs to win just as well. If all they do is, lose, lose, lose and die, die, die… Guess the result yourself.
I said it before, the buffs to the predator should’ve been done based on premade or not. If they have 3+ players in a team, then predator should start getting certain buffs to stealth, damage etc. As it is now its extremely frustrating playing randoms. Clash (even if I don’t like that type of games) is by far more fun to me.

I know what you mean, true but there are plenty randoms out there that can still melt careless preds in seconds. FT perks for damage output are prette OP just now. Only buff to pred from recent patch was the camo upgrade, and that only stopped ppl to snipe preds from across the map. You can still hear me coming at you, or track me from close range. With bane perk and hammerhead… well, Its actually easy to kill me if you will wait for me to attack one of your team mates and then melt me

Well it works!!! XDDDDDD
They just fixed bane, its only 10% more damage. The knife perk should not come into play unless you insist killing the team in melee only.
That said I don’t even use bane, I prefer thick skin. I run Dutch 87 with thick skin and gearhead and the extra ammo perk.

10% more damage is ridiculous since ttk is like 5 seconds with out it. It needs to be 2.5%
Thats a chalenging setup right there. I’m sure you do win a lot of games with this.

It really is not, more so with the current buff. The predators are supposed to avoid damage, not tank it. That said, from my part they could remove all damage enhancing perks from both sides…

That right there would make for a very interesting expiriance! @Thunder-Cats is trying to organise a in game event dedicated to this
Edge walking when I owned an FT is kinda fitting and fun, but it’s impossible to act casual or edgy when the FT knows how to shoot lol

Lol. If they bitch and complain they dont care about real things like that. They only come here to bitch and complain. How many of these ft main only losers make real threads about how to improve the game. Zero you dont its all the same bs just waaaa cant snipe the pred waaaaaaa cant engage the pred cause we cant see him waaaaaaa.
There are a few sure that contribute but they also play both sides.
The only players that contribute to the community are the pc players that dont focus one side over the other and the ps4 players. And I know this gonna stir the pot but what do I care when its the dam truth

Idk what edge walking even is. I just cast the ft till they are dead and dont even claim them because they put up no fight
I’ve been seing to much of this latley tbh… ppl need to realize that cloak is a tool for the pred to be stealthy. If they don’t like it they need to change the game - Preds by definition are stealth hunters
