Predators won't read this
The predator is weak asf up until you unlock the beserker class then winning is more feasible. Other than that it is more difficult because with lower predators they are hunted and not the hunter. The fire team should be able to defend themselves yes, but they shouldn’t nerf them completely. Just limit their abilities such as spotting every second, the predator shouldn’t be able to be spotted just sitting idle cloaked in a tree from 100 meters. It should be more difficult for fire team to revive and take longer to do it. Y’all think everyone just wants to wipe the FT in a few slashes it’s not the case. The predator’s below beserker needs balance. Beserker is just fine
I only play as pred. Only reason why I bought the game. Big big fan of the hole franchise movie comics you name it. Usually I play as the 87 pred because he looks dope and I’ve found perks that help me a lot low energy consumption perk ,malay perk and the one that helps you heal faster. But fire team as of now is not really op but they are babied in the game way too mutch I mean I kill 2 or 3 of you and rip out your spine and you can come back?? That’s got to be a joke because I fucken die laughing every time it happened then I’m like well I have no heals about a half of health bar might as well shoot some plasmas soften them up and then rush in and start slicing and dicing withen 10 seconds of being around them I get spotted and I’m instently sprayed with the mini gun 😂 get second wind and run away and then they find me easily and kill me. only luck I’ve been having in winning is if I successfully dead Nate my bomb. I haven’t unlocked zooker yet I’m like 3 levels away. Can’t wait to give the fire team a taste of there own medicine!

I’m talking an uncharged shot. If by what was said, the uncharged Plasma shot should rip through any armor and kill immediately. It is Plasma right? So it should burn through anything, but this is a game and things like armor and health bar are necessary to have fun. Maybe a hardcore mode with no armor and one hit kills would be possible?? I’d be cool with that.

I think i legit hate this god damn game… 😒
Plasma caster is fine wear it is but i would love to have upgrades for it like zoom or faster charge speed silent motor or no lazer things like that give us end game builds to face off against eachother…maybe skills that could build a tree and have actual specialized hunters/trappers/warriors same for fireteam i want elite groups to fight down the road that people had to put thought into a mashed together team should get stomped a complimentary team should be near impossible i want a leaderboard with teams for fireteam and solo for predator and i want games that can go on for awhile most of us on lickdown games can go 30mins plus and noone will complain do you agree?
So I wanna throw my two cents I’ve tried to read through alot of comments and noy sound repetitive.
So after having played alot. Both sides and Predator, I feel Predator classes (Save for Big Beefy because I haven’t played as him yet nor do I feel like he apeals to me) are balanced in how they are supposed to feel.
Predator Tools, need some cleaning up, the smart disc is pretty lack luster in controls. Its payoff is not worth it’s frustrating use or risk.
As a Predator I won often, against idiots who split up with no strategy on me and against coordinated squads. I have been taken down a few times by them.
As a fireteam, with randos and no sense of communication, we were dead meat. If we knew we wanteded to get OBJs and GTFO, we would win often. If the Predator rushed us, usually we mince meat of him.
I said it on another thread. I feel like Illfonic overestimated The Predator tools and kits and severely underestimated the Fireteam load outs and gear.
I hear alot of about nerf guns, range, fire power and buff this and buff that. Honestly I think if you limit, rearrange loadouts for Fireteam it’ll bring a bit away from easy mode shred predator to, Hang on, he has advantage in that, bring him to us.
What I mean is, 4 members should not be able to carry ol painless mini gun and an AR with the little negative (You move slow while holding mini gun but switch right away you have range and movement back.)
I feel theres needs to be a more risk tradeoff.
Shotguns shouldn’t be secondaries. SMGs probably shouldn’t have drum clips if secondaries? The spas-12 has an extened mag, which Im not sure how? But 8 rounds up to what 12? Yeesh. Silencers have no damage tradeoff which is the abnormal in games. The Mini gun probably shouldn’t be a secondary?
I know Im harping on fireteam but with alot of game time with and against them, I feel no fear when Predator wants to get close.
There’s only risk to Fireteam. Predator. AI is dumb as rocks and thats fine. They do no damage and that’s fine but then there are ammo and med kits everywhere. There’s no battle of attrition. On my recon, I have gearhead. I get 3 (very fast) heals in addition to what to someone bring med kits and the one I usually find in the field. Ammo crates before i knew they spawn I actually used to be nervous of running out. They full reload, even the minigun, grenades too.
Predators can gobble up new dumb players. When they got good tools? Its tough but the smarter person can win.
When they have almost unlimited good tools, easy OBJs, time. Im just staying things are a little better on the otherside.
Again, I’m not saying slash damage numbers and health across the board and give Predator HP or damage because I think thats the VERY WRONG way to approach this.
I say look at weapon kits and gear load outs. Ammo on the map, heals and equipment on the map.
Maybe slow down the human heal.
Also some riskier OBJs. Fireteamhas it super easy. Go here touch this and that, go there. Cool now we leave. 7 mins tops.
Split em up sometimes 2 and 2.

This is exactly right
Just extend the matches and hunters will find our ways the game does not need to spit them up it could give them the option to split up for quicker accomplishment but with heavy risk
What do you mean squishy compared to animals on our world???
What the fuck are you stupid for?
Yes the plasma caster should one shot as that’s what it has done in every iteration.

Well…I am a Predator Main.
I have been on since the Beta.
I have Won and Lost games.
The Predator needs to be Buffed in Health or the Fireteam Needs to be Nerf’d in Damage.
The AI also needs to be slightly increased with damage output done to the Fireteam.
No way should they be able to comfortably disarm a Predator Bomb while getting shot at DIRECTLY (at Pinpoint Range) no problem!
This game FAVORS the Fireteam Heavily! It is Not as Evenly balanced as you claim!
Berserker kinda evens things a little bit but, Not Enough!

The only good range weapon is the plasma caster. Disc and bow are crap.

disc and bow are both amazing but have certain situations where you do and dont use them. not sure you know this or not but you can hit with the disc then recall it for a double hit instant down combo.
the bow is just great for 1 shot down headshots whenever fireteam stops moving to do objectives, heal, mud up, or revive teammates. you can also overload your energy and swap to bow and keep shooting while your energy refills since bow doesnt require energy
My mans I think you’re just getting some uh…special…fireteams. We’ll put it that way lol.
In all seriousness though people seem to have this concept that anyone who dislikes the predator side of the game at the moment is just unga bunga running in 4v1 and dying. What it comes down to is that no matter how tactical you try to be or how slow you try and take things or whatever you do, a smart fireteam will shit on any predator. I’ve lost maybe…5 games on fireteam. Total, and most of those aren’t dumb predators, they’re trying their best to harass with plasma caster and get ambushes, but it doesn’t matter what they do because we just Mark him and unload on him.
I don’t understand how anyone can claim the game is balanced when myself and many others are literally getting bored playing fireteam because of how easy it is.

IGN agrees:
“Defeating the Predator should be the pinnacle of the experience when it comes to Hunting Grounds, but it happens far too often and offers little satisfaction.”
Crossing fingers that the devs adress the balance. I really want this game to do well!
