In my opinion it is fair because the Predator took the time to set this up in the event of this happening.
Reinforcements

You’re either exaggerating or using an incomplete data set. You would have to avoid FT entirely and spend an entire match looking for pigs to back your claim
If the Predator knows where the radio’s at, then he’ll already be on his way. Even if you don’t go for the reinforcements and finish the objectives instead, the Predator will eventually figure out where you are (either by the gunfire or seeing you call the chopper). The traps are just insurance at that point.
Also, if a Predator uses up three traps early in the game, then that’s three traps he can’t use against the Fireteam. For Predators without Large Pouch, that’s all of their bear traps or three out of five motion detectors. Large Pouch only gives you one more of each gear item, so you’d be left with one bear trap or three motion detectors.
Fireteam suicides to replenish gear and regroup at the reinforce for 0 loss so this doesn’t work if they know how to play. Hence the problem with reinforce. You should never be better off dying and respawning.

Agree to disagree I suppose. I think it’s a noob move. It’s up there with putting traps at the exfil ropes.
Not necessarily. I’ve stealth exfiled myself a few times.
Besides I’m saying the radio shouldn’t spawn till the reinforcements mission appears or alternatively there should be loads of radios so the pred doesn’t know which one to trap or camp.
It’s like this. I think it would be cool if the pred had a cloaked ship nearby where he could go use a medkit but that ship should spawn randomly so the FT can’t find it easily.
I’d just cut out the whole system entirely and take away the second wind from predator it would make the game more authentic

It’s absolutely fair. He gets 3 measly traps the whole damn game (unless pouch but there are better perks) and most of the time they’re useless because of that dumb perk the FT can take to see the traps.
I didn’t know this and last night saw a FT on one syrette, they ran to an ammo crate and it fucking gives them back that syrette…jesus this game. I’ll have to check tonight if they also get it back from an ammo pack a FT can drop. Ridiculous that a predator can try to wear their resources down but nah just make it piss easy to get those syrettes back while pred has fly to the damn moon to find a pig. That or all the pigs are right next to the FT…nice thinking there devs

Would make the rounds shorter and more repetitive
You only get ammo from an ammo bag. You usually only find one supply crate per mission if at all. Quite often you don’t find any so it’s not that an advantage.

FT is not better off dying and respawning bc life is way more valuable than a noise maker. Plus you can get gear back from ammo crates.
ammo crates resupply 1 of all the consumable items (except bags) per ammo bag taken. As Madmardigan said at most your going to find 1 crate these days a lot of the time you don’t find one at all.
It was a bit absurd when every camp had 1-2 of the crates but with them being much rarer I think it’s fine.
Also as he said the FT dropped ammo bags just give ammo

Then it’s random and that is not a good thing to have. The ammo is fine but giving back syrettes should go. Unless they want to start giving predator a healing kit back when he eats a boar.
Reinforcements are extra kills
Why would reinforcements have less than full gear, that doesn’t make sense to me?
I’ve found more than one on several occasions. Mostly on the train yard map.
No it isnt. If there’s one guy waiting at the reinforce on you he’s waiting for everyone else to suicide so they all safely spawn at the reinforce together regrouped with full gear.
You’re literally putting yourself at a disadvantage staying there by yourself and the pred is going to kill you alone at the objective as soon as the guy at the reinforce gets bored waiting on you to find a barrel to shoot and starts it. There’s 0 reason to stay there with the pred instead of killing yourself and spawning next to your team.
Furthering the objective is worth staying alive for imo
You just died to destroy 2 servers in some little building. Not worth. Like 30 seconds of gametime.
You’ve got a whole 15 mins to do objectives that take 5 mins its not worth being permanently taken out of the game for. Just shoot a barrel and kill yourself and respawn with your team and run back in 60 sec with all your gear fresh because the guy at the reinforce and everyone spectating’s just waiting on you tbh
It already is repetitive
