If you find 2 scout in a team, you have actually lost. You can’t play the game , the stealth mode is actually fucked. They just continue spamming ping in threes and they find you even if you stay from good distance. Is actually too strong and destroy the stealth game of the predator every game.
RECON OVERPOWER AND UNSKILLED
You meant Recons?
Well, first of all, there is a cooldown if you do happen to try to spot too quickly.
Another thing is… the increased duration on spotted targets is… barely noticeable.
Don’t see any issues with it.

I am actually more afraid of sniper rifles than the spotting. PC snipers (no offense intended to the console players) with a semi-decent aim are a nightmare for me and I usually encounter them in pairs.
They shoot off your mask in 1-2 shots and can hit you for almost 1/3 rd of your hp.
I have yet to learn to play against them since they counter my ranged pred really hard.
Yes, pc player have vert noticrable better aim , but recon are too good , if ypu find decent player you cant just play the game
A bear trap and one combi stick throw and they’re dead.
I’m closed to lv 30, I really want to level up and unlock that combi stick. If only i can find games in less than 10 minutes :(
lol i leveled up through offline ai bots because matchmaking is traaaaaaaash. Needless to say ive gone crazy from the monotony

Ye that one is downed… but now theres 3 people either peppering you for 70% of your hp. Dancing around cover helps, I admit. But to finish them off… you don’t have combi now, so full charge plasma? K if they are good they’ll have almost already had them up or are watching your location like a hawk. It’s just so many advantages towards the fire team that it’s so truly upsetting as a predator. Level 64 (no x2 exp) and I hate to admit that the only strats available rn is bum rush those split off… plasma full charge behind cover, never leaping in unless 1-2 are already downed cause it’s a death sentence otherwise… bear traps are secretly so good but still kinda janky or like combi downing somebody into hitting a few times then throwing it into them for a finish. It’s so much better to deal the damage to a downed player than it is to quick execute. Quick execute is so punishable folks, just don’t do it mid fight!
Some glaring issues as the firing team. You can perma jump to not lose stam and you’re THE EXACT SAME SPEED. So you can infinite chase or use your running stam more efficiently… why is this a thing? Fall damage as a human… is laughable, dude falls off a roof that’s 12-15+ feet. You think oh man that’s like 1/3 at least maybe right? POSSIBLY 1/2? Dude it’s 3-7 hp. I shit you not, it’s fucking insane. Soooo many hp packs and ammo everywhere, wtf… what kind of fortnite kinda players are we catering to these days? Why can a marine 5 shot a predator 1v1 when the pred can do the same thing, but can’t parry :) riddle me that… the pred has so few options so far for success. It requires the marines to ape out and forget there’s a predator for them to lose.

when you get the combistick you’ll win every game
I completely agree. Been complaining about it since the free trial weekend. Headshot = 30% damage on the regular predator with reduced damage from bullets perk.

Many People talk about this Stick. Problem is to get this level 51. I usually find game in 10 more minutes in europe server. And playing predator being harder and harder. I win all my fire team game and first 5/6 games as pred. But as soon as you meet higher level players it becomes very hard to win as a predator wothout bear trap and combi stick. If pc player spot you with recon, they instant destroy your mask and in that moment, you lost.
Its level 42 I’m pretty sure. I’ve been sitting in the queue’s as well and it takes 10 mins to get into a game if I’m lucky. Still have the combistick already. Try playing as a human for a bit Arrow, you get xp towards the predator too.

And I agree about the sniper rifles, I’ve played predator about 25 times and I’ve encountered someone using a sniper 1 time and I died so fast it was unreal I thought he was cheating.
Lv 42 true, my bad i forgot
Good pc player have great aim and shooting with sniper is even easier than plasma cannon that is a charging projectile weapon
No, you won’t. Any competent team will parry you and you’ll be dead in seconds.

yea i play on pc aswell and havent really lost to the predator many times but i also win most maps as the predator with the exception of a few. the recon guy stacks movement speed with the perk and hes so fast if you get second wind u cant get away he’s way faster than you are as the pred. so that’s pretty beat. the thing i find isworking for me, which I know is level locked but it does work for me is to use the netgun / combistick and if someone is parrying net them and then kill them with the combistick.
I’m not saying predator isn’t underpowered. He is. Needs buffs for a lot of shit. But this is whats working for me currently.
