I mean, with Net gun you can down 2 or 3 ft potatoes for sure, even now
Rebalancing idea
Slam for me is like a finishing move. I’ve been able to use it effectively a handful of times, but oh boy is so satisfying when you down the last 3 FT members with it, all at the same time

Melee shouldn’t be limited to one person.
So many of you hate pred melee, but look at the second movie, city hunter killed a while group with melee.
I’m not saying it should be easy, but a full melee style should be viable. This whole thing of pred should automatically die for fighting with melee is stupid.
Exactly and applies to every pvp game. Especially when it’s left intentionally vague and you don’t even know if it mattered or not in the end.
Adds nothing to the gameplay.
You don’t think it can work on the pros? Perhaps not on every opportunity, but it can essentially be a 1 v 1 especially with the help of cloak .
I play with both and every time I get close I get melted even by potatoes. I use them with hit and run tactics effectively, but if you focus on only one, the other two will melt you in no time
It should when the skill matches. Otherwise, you will still be able to use it on more than one when your opponents are inferior.
Also melee is basically the most skill less tactic. In predator lore melee is only reserved for duels with worthy opponents, because against any other opponent is just plain stupid easy.
If you make it like that in the game, then everyone will just use it because is damn easy. Because is humans controlling the pred, and humans are the scum of the earth with no sense of honor.
Most main preds on this game literally joined to troll other players and that’s why so many get so riled when they can’t do it, instantly spewing shit like “cheater” “aimbot” and other bullshit

I’ll buy that. It’s has a 1v2 or a lower HP 1v3 possibilities. I have barely seen it used. Even the really good pred players can’t really make it work.
It works with fast predators and the key is to move around a lot and go behind tree’s and seek cover while running and reloading.

I main valk so yeah
Is valk good? I never used her.
I dont think you understand what I mean at all.
Il try to explain it after this match.
Ok, so there should be certain styles and maybe perks that allow for a successful pure melee build.
People cry that melee takes no skill yet ft uses guns.
I dont understand why pc players think aiming is so fucking skillful, it’s not the best way to prove or show skill.
The whole saying melee shouodnt be viable and its braindead, blah blah blah, is just a bunch of range classes crying because they dont want melee to be at it’s full potential.
It’s a thing in almost any game.
Range class has the advantage at a distance, melee class has the advantage up close.
Given that theres melee, it should be viable and ft should be at a severe disadvantage up close.
But im not talking about it being easy, or pred purely tanking it.
I’m talking about having a good melee system with dodge’s, throws, sweeps, grabs, stuns, ect, that require skill to pull off.
Pred should be able to dance around ft with melee and kill them.
Keyword dance, not tank.
Of course, mixing it up will always be the best option. Range and melee, traps, ect.
But I wanna see a pure melee style.
I dont think I would ever be pure melee even in this system.
But I would absolutely love to see the players who would master this and wipe fts skillfully with only melee.
That would definitely be more interesting than just seeing a bow, disk, or caster or any range shit.
I may not be explaining it that well, which you know my bad, but think of movies where you see a skilled fighter take down a group using martial arts or something like that. Purely off skill
That’s what I want to see and believe should be a viable option in this game.
But that’s not the only thing.
I’d love to see a trap focus class or style.
I’d love to see a summoner, like a good one not one with weak bullshit summons.
I can’t think of anything else, but my suggestion comes from the same place it always has.
I want to see more unique classes and abilities.
I’d also love to see a true stealth style.
Guns are boring, compared to having a nice combo.
This doesn’t mean I dont want ft to get anything.
I’d also like rolling dodges and vaults for ft.
Just better movement for both sides.
I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
Cause what im suggesting isnt as easy or cheap as you think.

That reminds me of a guy who got his knife out and started charging at me and I was 30 meters away 😆. And I thought, what on earth are you doing.
Lmao

Also I agree with everything you said. But what do you mean by summons?
well that’s not in the game, just braindead button smashing which is not skillful at all, jump, slash slash, jump, slash slash… even autotracks and when it doesnt people complain melee is “not working”, melee on this game, as of right now, is brain dead
yes, aiming and taking a shot takes skill, you have to aim correctly and take the shot just in time. you missed your window (which is usually within milliseconds) you missed… if aiming doesn’t require skill, then why the fuck do aimbots exist? oh I know… because it takes skill
what you describe as melee is great, but I think is wishful thinking because I hardly think illfonic may be able to pull something like that off. They can’t even make the FT climb over obstacles and everything is 20 year old game movement where you just jump and crouch
Do you think so?
I’ve knocked down a Pred by parrying. Why couldn’t the Pred knock down the FT? Same code, only different target and circumstances.
Yes but have you knocked up a pred??

Nice. I think you’re on to something in general, but I really like this last suggestion.
Although, I use protections, medic, and large pouch, so not much different for me.
