Preds r dying way more after 1.09

I hope I’m not alone in thinking that predators feel way more squishy since the last patch I’m not quite for sure what it is and I haven’t tested yet but both as predator and as fireteam it seems to me like the predator is going down far easier than ever before. I would like to see if anybody else feels this way. I do realize there are a large skill gaps and sometimes I demolish a team is predator sometimes I demolish a predator is fireteam I’m not the best player by no means on either side I just feel like I’ve seen an increase in predator deaths as of the last patch. Thank you for your responses.

Madness. Lol

I do agree with having to be a good fire team member but it seems like there’s a large gap there or something and unless these challenges brought better players to fireteam it seems to be a hard go is predator.

There they’re most likely noobs y’all are killing them that easy and most people just rush the Scout Predator anyways because he’s weak. But even a good fire teams going to have trouble with a good predator I rarely die I may be only died three times but the stupid reasons like last night I froze and got killed. But he’s definitely easy to kill though definitely needs to be buffed that’s the whole point being a predator is to be Op and to give the fire team a challenge. Even the most accurate game reviewers I said the Predator needs to be Op

And even though they say they decrease the fireteams weapon damage I don’t see that anywhere u have 4 man squad with grenade launcher grenades mini guns you cannot play this game like a predator there is no stealth so the Predator needs to be Op

just feels too squishy I have to get away and eat too many pigs too often yes that’s against good fireteams and yes there are very poor fire teams that died quickly and very easily and get in very few shots and if any. That’s more of my curiosity isn’t the skill Gap or is it a balancing issue? I just feel like it’s more obvious predators or squishy after the last patch.

I mean I notice it just a little bit but not much I noticed it with the Berserker more than anything clearly I actually don’t understand why he’s in the game because he’ feels just the same as the hunter so if they’re going to have him then they need buff him stop catering to these fireteams I want the game to be easy but try the Berserker see how he feels to you but he is definitely better to use though if you want more health it seems to soak up a little bit more bullets

Idk I’m always cutting through ft but when I tried ft I cut through preds so 🤷‍♂️

You know I tried playing the fire team like two days ago like 2 hours I couldn’t do it the team’s I were in they sucked so bad but when I actually played Predator I get good teams so it’s like what the heck

That’s what I’m saying he is not a concern for a well-put-together fire team. Even a not so well put together fireteam is not so threatened. I believe the damage done to the fireteam is fine I just feel that it doesn’t survive very well in any encounters that involved a claim and an average fire team because a claim can kill you with an average fire team especially if you took a few shots coming in. And the top it off truly you have no stealth as predator so the fireteam simply has to be aware and they have really no fear.

That’s exactly the problem with the game the fireteams I have no fear they play this like it’s Call of Duty and you’re just shooting a juggernaut that can easily be killed I don’t think these guys just know how to balance something like this evolve was okay better than this but that’s my point there’s no stealth so make the Predator Op he has to be for this to work if one member is shooting you and he does a tiny bit of damage the damage needs to come from the whole team shooting you one fire team member shouldn’t be able to drain your whole health bar to half with that many shots

Like I said and I will say it over and over again Ghost Recon nailed the Predator event that thing was so hard to kill you had to have a good team and you had to work together if you don’t want to lose and lose and lose this is how this game needs to be a needs to be hardcore you need better communication because nobody talks in this game what would have been better make the Maps bigger have more objectives give the Predator an objective 2 so the fireteam can have a chance to escape make the AI better harder towards the Predator 2 but make him harder for the fire team players

Dutch’s gun is really good and stopping pred from moving after leap smash will be two contributing factors

Same here… its bizarre.

Less people are using impenetrable.

Think the games dying with them keep fucking around with patches and perks and stuff to keep the shit players happy.

Good FT’s killing bad Predators. It’s expected until everyone knows how to play predator in literally any other way than running in blindly with melee.
