After getting the same person up 3 times. They get a lovely indicator telling me where he is, and in turn, you are.
Mud doesn’t cover it, distance doesn’t stop it. Its like I’m Sauron, and he’s Frodo. I see you.
PSA: FT stop reviving the same person

Lol that’s good to know
Is that the white skull icon to indicate he’s ripe for a stealth kill? But you still need to be within a close proximity I thought? I’m curious to know, because haven’t had much time as Predator because I’m enjoying Fireteam too much😈
From my experience you still see them within about 200m, maybe less. Unless its a potential bug where the icon doesn’t disappear over distance. Currently I let said guy live as hes a glowing marker for the rest of them. And I’ve already downed him 3 times. Hes no threat.
Yeah the stealth kill indicator is basically an infinite motion detector. The predator will know where you are at all times and that you’re at low health.
I think the real PSA is that using downed FTs is a very common bait tactic. I can’t help but laugh every time I take down one FT with the bow a second one shows up to revive them and I take him down too, then a third one shows up and it just repeats.
I see, thanks 👍🏼
If I get downed, I’ll make sure to crawl into cover before I ask a teammate to revive me (I usually play in a party team). If a random teammate from Quick Play is downed I won’t go near them unless they’re either in cover or I know the Predator is distracted. And if they’re stupid enough to fall for the bait trick and also stay out in the open that puts me in the line of fire, my attitude is like Mac’s and I’ll leave them to bleed out and start getting ready to go to the reinforcement radio. Better one survive and reinforce the squad, than 4 dead because one or two couldn’t get their shit together.
Yes never revive in the open, I’ve wiped so many teams who fall like dominoes trying to revive each other. That said even those that crawl into cover, don’t do it well, just because you’ve rounded a corner, don’t mean I don’t have eyes on you. I routinely ready a slam or combi throw around a corner, and step out when the chance arises.
That’s true also. I try to be facing the opposite way from where the revive pose faces, or approach a revive facing head to feet then at least we have some degree of awareness incase that pesky laser targeting starts coming towards us.
This is where Fireteams who use game chat have an advantage over those who don’t use it. And then, sometimes a Predator is so damn good at what they do you just gotta take the L and respect the Hunter.
Downs:
1, 2, = nothing
3, 4, = skull marker no tracking needed (unique claim from basic attack)
5+ = Skull plus bright glowing red cell shading that lasts…permanently. I think…and also has the skull. You can see it through walls & terrain…I think.
It’s some shit like this. Not sure exactly of the count.
Three and then they ragdoll on kill, no?
Its supposed to be perma-death after 3 res but in practice i think it’s 4.
I think a lot of the ambiguity comes from the support class. And I know the cell shading and skull icon are triggered by health thresholds AFTER being downed X times. I’ve seen FT members gut put into that danger state from NPC’s being careless.
The support class is not so easily downed and can be downed many times…I have found. The other classes mainly assault Go down instantly…and don’t usually make it that far.
This symbol only shows up when they are bloody and thus low on health. Once they heal up it disappears until they are low on health again.
wtf would they make it like that? To be able to see people more the more times they have been down. Seems like a shitty move to give such an advantage to the predators
Well fu… will just run in the opposite direction if i have been downed many times. As far away from mission goals as possible and help teammates win game by having a predator chasing me into nowhere
;)
Soooo… just leave them to die? Like wat? Lol
Yes ;) let them bleed out.
