Rookie Predator Mains, Don't Fall For These FT Traps:

If you see a FT member not mudded up and in a room by himself with a one way exit DO NOT engage, that FT member is bait and trying to lure you in.

Once you engage and enter that room the remaining FT members will block the entrance (body block) and prevent you from escaping while lighting you up at the same time.

Instead pick off the other 3 FT members that are outside in the open.

Or roof slam/plasma caster. Helpful hint.

I learned that the hard way today @Apex_Hunter. I had one Game where someone was bait and they Sniped my Mask off as I claimed.

The second Game?? Different Team, same Spot on Overgrowth (Red, flat topped Shed by the Exfil Point): while they didn’t deliberately Room Trap me, I downed two where my Health dove. The third Player came in and blocked my Exit. And then whittled me down.

It was my first full Defeat in a while. But also a Learning Experience.

Yea man i feel you there are really good and coordinated FT’s out there and if they have mics they can decide amongst themselves who will be the bait to try to lure the Predator in.

From the trees looking down while cloaked and having therm vision on, and you see a FT member inside a room all by himself it is tempting to go in and claim him but yea he was just a worm on a hook lol

Yes you can do that too.

For me personally i don’t like to do it because i kinda think i shouldn’t be able to, it’s kinda cheezy to me lol

Yeah it is cheesy. I believe it should have the amount of damage taper off depending on the distance where you land in relation to the FT. Like 90 when you land right on them. 3 meters from them 70 damage(Not actual numbers just example of how it could work)

Other thing to take not, if you see 3 FT in the same compound but not the ranger or the scout, it mean he have take position on the little Hill ready to spam the spot button and shoot you from afar, always KILL HIM first before engage the rest of the team

I love it when they try that. It’s never worked to their favor. Netgun + sword = pile of FT bodies.

Lol, did this yesterday. It wasn’t planned but I happened to get in a knife fight with the Pred in the door and my team melted him over my shoulders. My poor ears, they’re guns sounded like they where in my headset.
