Unless youre playing berserker its unreal to win and play with strategy yeah the bow its ok but it doesnt 1 tap you still get chaced if youre scout or hunter. the plasma caster nerft literally caused me to stop playing this game and have only played 3 games since the patch due to that nerf. Feels awful to just go in and start hitting with the berserker. Thats not how a predator is.

It literally doesnt do much when youre being chaced in the jungle my 4 fire team members.
fucking is. a charged shot taking a ton of energy. and cant even down someone. takes you time to fully charge it and be a sitting duck lol

Playing as the FT I had no issue with the PC direct hit down. There are SO many drawbacks to the predator in that scenario and if I as the FT get downed by that I deserve it. I wasn’t paying attention

I think at least when a fire team member is knock down a full charge plasma shot need to instant kill. Otherwise you are forced to jump in and go for a risky quick execution
well even when i was hitting people with the damn thing i couldnt knock anyone down unless i got lucky or kinda close range. from the trees wasnt working. so i jumped from the trees ran in the fucking room blasted them with it 2 was downed. its not even viable as long range any more even charged lol
i think its fine. 1 shot down is noob cheese!

Even if it doesn’t revert back the down range perk should make it a 1 hit down
well when it takes most of the power to fully charge it to down someone and you can barely do a second its kinda bollocks.
well yeah. that combined with a perk. hell id sacrifice a perk to have it do that damn right. add more power too it. they made standard shots do abit more damage but i bet the value isnt that much of a detriment too the fireteam
It is still powerful enough. And keep in mind the predator got enough buffs (knife resistance, less headshot damage (which I think is bs… one 50 cal round in the face should hurt, and at least destroy the biomask)) to keep him on the field longer. I was fine with the one hit downing a FT member, but with patch 1.06, it’s still a deadly weapon in the right hands.
against a good team its really the only thing to wear them down but being too op it just is a crutch tactic.
you think thats bs?? destroy the biomask so easily then what rendering him powerless too find the team thus ruining the flow of the game for the predator being rendered useless. giving the fireteam a free easy win to run too the chopper unhindered. i often wondered why the pred wasnt coming after me. then i went into a game prepatch and my mask got shot off and i was like fuck me what do i do now? lol … just stand here. then i got the warning the chopper was on route so i started to run. do you even play the pred? if you dont. you should. see it from both sides. yeah. deadly if you run in blasting at point blank range. from a distance no you get lit up like a christmas tree …
Bro u just want an easy win for the fireteam. It takes so long to even down a member now with the nerfed damage and how slow the shots r and they can instantly heal all the damage they took

If you solely rely on the thermal vision, you should already be screwed from the get go. If you get spotted and plinked in the head by the FT members, that’s on you. You are hunting WORTHY prey, not a couple of girl scouts. Do remember that you are playing real people who are also learning the game, finding their niche and adapting to changes. Some of them are faster at increasing their skills then others. And yes, I do play as the predator from time to time, and am probably still able to take down a fire team as I do not rely solely on the thermal vision. The predator has enough tools to take out a fireteam. And I have come up against predators who did even take down a full FT without their mask. So it’s not impossible to do.

I don’t want easy wins, I want matches to last longer than 3 minutes. And the small nerf to the PC is pretty much linked to the health buff for the predator, bow buff, and the damage and survivability nerfs to the fireteam.
BTW, do you know what bullshit is? This:
And yes, I suck at Blender… I know
thats on me? and no i dont just rely on the heat vision. thats not on me if im being spam spotted. adapting to changes oh lord. dont try sugarcoat it. fireteam is easy mode. what do you mean what bullshit is this? some context on the video?? yeah ive been downed minigunning the pred its not as strong as what it once was i suppose. idk. i tend not to use it unless im in a jam takes forever or a while to spin up lol. and heavy as fuck. as it would be obviously
With “that’s on you” I meant those predators in general if it happens. Not in you specifically.
And you did not watch the vid. I was not downed minigunning… The predator went down and was able to activate his bomb (which I deactivated, but got riddled with bullets because of a fuck-ton of AI spawning… Less of the AI my ass =P ) after soaking up probably 200 rounds. (I do love how that xp popped up like crazy =) )
And I was just trying it out with the support class. Now it’s standard on my scout with Yautya’s bane.
(and yes it takes time to spin it up, and it should be spun up with the rmb, so the predator can hear it spin, but not firing)
Wut was the video proving
