The weapon seems to be OP. Now no more 1vs1 is possible because you have no chance! Max 2vs1pred is also not possible for FT. You take damage and you are stunned for too long (pred jumps to you and finish you) with this weapon even through walls!! This is no more fun. At least this is my first impression. You should reduce the stun time. We’ll see how it works in private matches, but in pubs every beginner pred can easily kill you with a little practise.

lol ya git good F.T bwahaha 🤣
sad but true.
there would be more better ways but yeah lets teach the FT fly :P
Too OP, with a Jotun is lethal. I definitely agree , you remained stunned for too long and is very frustrating.
boo hoo. give me those fireteam tears
Jotun is trash tbh. It’s the shock gauntlet that’s OP. It’s merely a trolling lulz toy, to pacify the pred mains on how unbalanced the game has been, since forever. illfonic might wanna patch it up, to increase the cool down between shots. It’s rather pointless to staying in a match, and remain stunned the entire time.

It’s like the gauntlet was made just for me. I love it.
Granted, the first match I just spammed that thing like there was no tomorrow, but now I just use it sparingly and tactically.
Lol is that why you were complaining last night? 😂 we finally get a weapon that incapacitates knife rushers and minigunners and FT mains start to cry. Its hilarious. I hope Illfonic never nerfs this, its perfect just as it is.
Also, Jotun is a beast. Energy sucks so I just stay uncloaked and jump around fisting everyone. His stamina is ungodly, I want to slap adrenal on him and watch how fast i can clear the map from infil. And he has some damn good health and bullet resistance.
We finally agree on something. Let us all revel in the power of the FIST
Illfonic has always catered the balance to day one players. Thats why FT is easy mode. Someone there probably woke up and realized new players want to actually win while playing as pred instead of getting turned off and uninstalling so they gave a weapon to make pred combat easier. Can’t wait to see how fast i can combo fist into sickle or hook using keybinds.
People can do pretty much anything with keybinds.
Indeed. Just tried the fist into sickle with the quick switch, its gnarly as fuck. Preds are now finally the threats they should be
On consoles, you can already do a quick switch by pairing your ideal weapon to R3.
I have mine binded to the dpad with predkour assigned to R3, its the common configuration thats been around for awhile. Its how we’ve been able to go from combi throw to pistol so fast. Its a bit slower for fist into sickle but its still faster than using the weapon wheel
If you bind combi to R3, then you can keep spearing people, picking it up, and instantly be back to spearing again. With fast hands perk it’s even better, but you don’t need fast hands perk.
Definitely needs a Nerf for sure, as for players complaining fireteam is to powerful, id say as someone who plays both fire team and pred It could use a little balancing I dominate most of my matches when Im predator and when I am playing and coordinating with friends I give advice with we domain as a fireteam, Id say the biggest issue most players are having with predator is lake of experience and sadly because the predator takes time to learn and master it makes it hard for less dedicated or inexperienced players to play. If you ever need it I’m happy to give more advice on what could possibly help balancing for new players in the future. We could cumincate over email. I see a lot of potential for this game, and with a little more player support I don’t see why it wouldn’t be make a lot more money and fun. I can tell you guys care more for this game then most players think.

i call bs on that as a soley predator main the amount of time i lose compared to win is astonishing like not meaning to be rude but 90% of the predators are useless to squishy, not enough damage or both
not to mention the melee parry mechanic is broken that 3-4 sec stun when they parry is more than enough to straight up kill you and ranged is also unplayable at times grenade spam, bullets doing way to much damage for a pred that is supposed to have a godly amount of hp and you still die in seconds be it up close and they spamming miniguns or at range w sniper and grenade launcher spam its rediculous
imo the whole damage system needs a rework that will never come and have a tool tip that actually shows the stats for the preds not just on release stats that have been nerfed
