Assault with Y Bane on, using vector. I’ve sat many a predator down

[Drakos]

Yes, but without bane it won’t down in one mag

[Eztrigga]

Some dragon breath ammo would be sick too !

[DisturbedLlama]

That’s fair. I’m just saying I’ve never seen anything do as much damage that fast due to the assault secondary damage ability and bane, mixed with the dumb fire rate

[Drakos]

Facts, that thing burns health off of preds, but the 3rd SMG just hits a little harder plus has better accuracy.

[DisturbedLlama]

Yeah ngl the vector is essentially the noob eraser. I just whip it out when they charge or try and thirst the skull of a teammate right next to me.

[Slasher_Clone]

Yes it would be, 3 second Flame thrower here to save the day.

LMG’s recoil is basically nothing unless maybe its harder to use with a controller. The damage dropoff isnt anything either because every gun sans the minigun is accurate as hell even the shotguns.
You only need half the mag to kill the pred so the other half is free to go wherever you want it, LMG is massively overtuned.
The windup on the minigun is a waste of time in comparison unless the pred is long claiming in front of your face.

What makes assault rifles weak is the need to reload. Reloading at the wrong time means you just screwed your dps completely & it leaves no room for missing shots. This and most people reload compulsively so they’re missing free damage.

I’ll just leave this here if this post looks familiar that’s because it is if i’m posting it as a reply to you it’s cause i think your ill informed it’s literally all you need to know to be good at fireteam and literally stomp any pred you run into

ok SO first Scar, LMG, AK, the first AR, and Hammerhead, vector the last SMG and the 2XL you should never use shotguns as they do less dps than the 2 smg’s i’ve mentioned use extended mag on all of them each of these weapons can down the zerker predator in one clip or at least in 11seconds if you are a fireteam these are the only weapons you should be using unless your a sniper god all of the snipers are good it’s entirely preference between the 3 of them however the barret 50 (last sniper) and the bolt action are both fine at taking off the preds mask in around 2-4 shots the minigun is overrated but is really good in close range as another option it and the magnum are memey with the assault but not terrible it’s just other primary weapons/secondary weapons do their job better
with these weapons you now have the capability to downs zerker in one clip or in 11 seconds or less assuming your pretty accurate and depending on your range closer ranges get as low as 4-6 seconds farther away get to about 7-11
keep in mind some of these guns such as the LMG/AK/Scar can kill the predator before he can down you in melee this is true for every melee weapon when your support/Dutch with the right perk setup which lets you completely prevent melee play from the predator if your aim is true in CQC unless they decide to throw their weapon in the case of the disc/stick

2nd you have to know how to parry with the autos above it takes 2 parries to kill any predator in the game
If you equip the knife by holding the melee button and pressing L2 or whatever your aim button is you get a heavy stab this stab has more parry frames and at times lets you parry the pred melee attacks with no thought in your brain so use it if your struggling

3rd you should be using either the assault or support or dutch classes in all cases Recon and scout is strictly worse than everyone else you will never need the spotting duration hip fire accuracy and + revive speed could be useful but most of the time if someone is downed unless they crawl behind something it’s not worth trying to revive them besides the interaction perk increases revive speed so just take the perk on an assault or dutch and bang you get to be scout with 150+ hp

4th you should only be using perks that increase your dmg to the predator or increase melee dmg and hp up dmg reduction from currently OLWF scales on max hp so if your hp is 150+ it usually is better than +HP you could for 3 costs take +interaction speed or +move speed or then for any 2 costs you should always be picking reduced recoil reduction or 6 sense or reload speed for your 1 costs you should be picking ADS movement speed or sludge blood albeit hip fire accuracy generally isn’t good but you could take it if you think your going to fight a lot of melee pred’s

figure out which combination of perks here work for your class set up and use them well

5th Gear you should always be taking syringes on every single class or medkits

if you are support you should take both if your in a premade 1 person should have ammo bags and whoever is dutch/assault should be running audio decoys + thermal distractions every other item isn’t usually worth using unless all these items are being used by someone it’ s best to have 2 medkits per fireteam
6th communicate with you team if you have a mic if the predator leaves always have someone go check the local pig spawns generally there is a very close pig spawn near camps always check it if pred leaves if you catch him eating a pig that equals death for him

7th reinforcements 3 people means all in go their 2 people should split up you can be mudded for the entire game if you keep an eye on it rendering isolation worthless for pred if your all running silencers which the only downside is a slight dmg down this would cause some weapons to no longer one clip the predator so it’s your choice on how valuble that is unless the predator gets lucky on which camp he is looking at he will never find you until extraction

an 8th thing i just thought of if your fighting a predator who killed 2 people and he left whether healing or not you should immediately mud up and get out of the obj your in and wait for reinforce mission and head to it cause if he comes back he will probably wipe the 2 of you once reinforce starts he is alerted and you should immediately leave the local area not too far so you can sprint back to help your friends when they spawn but far enough that pred doesn’t kill you before they spawn

9th buildings under any circumstance you should never have more than 1 person in a building ever cause slam dmg is very high so make sure your not too huddled also in some cases if someone is downed it’s better to not revive them due to the ranged aoe/dmg of the predator killing those who interact this is also true with obj’s make sure you scare the predator off before doing such things or make sure his focus isn’t on you when your doing it people are bait remember that

10 the best predators use leap to confuse people so you need to be effective at tracking jumping or it’s movement in general predator move speed is the MOST POWERFUL tool they have as it lets them avoid dmg once you get this down predators will start to get wild and of course keep an eye on blood and use your ears to find them don’t want em standing still while invisible so they can ambush you or your team or heal for that matter

generally speaking the best comp for a team is probably 2 supports one assault one dutch you could mix and match this as long as you have one support on your team and all of you are using this here post you have a predator hunting death squad at your fingertips

this is all you need to know to be successful as a fireteam even against other pred varients not just zerker combi do to raw dmg output you have access too

keep in mind you FT’s have more effective hp than the predator because in theory you could have 48 heals and can dps him down faster than he can you so generally speaking if your losing you probably lost at loadout select unless that predator was just a apex monster which in my experiance has only happend to my squad 2 times out of what like 75+ games

All weapon dmg stats
All weapon dmg stats 2 electric boogalooo now with attachments

let’s all learn something

[Orune]

Hard to be good when your teammates quit. maybe share thoughts of the shotguns instead of a lecture bro?

[KameofWar]

lol i did scroll up to the top?

[Jysty]

Heres my copy pasta from PATCH 1.04, nothing has changed but if you can’t aim great I guess the vector was always OK. “My thoughts on the FT meta for PC: I think a good FT can just split farm the map/objectives once they know the LOS paths across the map. I think the best builds are support with thick skin or assault with OWLF and thick skin. I think the best guns are the Sawz, the Rp 103 and the 2xl, there is no reason to use anything else ever other then roleplaying. I also think scout with double time can parry kite predators but its not broken coz 125hp is butthole.”

[Orune]

All you did was copy and paste, kinda lazy by not giving your own thoughts. just saying maybe less troll and more to the topic.

@KameofWar

Currently all 2nd weapons that aren’t the revolver or the third smg are absolutely garbage and should never be used no matter what

i did lol

[JPnx44]

I belive all weapons of the FT should have a rework, most of them only deals good damage when in close distance(kind of weird considering that it’s gun) while losing some kick after afew meters away, and all of them are “hitscan” like there is no travel of the bullet, only a automatic hit as long as you aim at something.

But the appeal of shotguns? Well, it’s a shotgun, my darling being the “AA-12”.

[Jysty]

Imagine being so bad that you advocate stacking automatic weapons over just having 2 players with a sawz or 7en. Biased bad console info :o

[KameofWar]

literally said in the post if your good at snipers take em but if not autos are the way to go?

[Jysty]

If you can’t aim a sniper don’t play the game thank

[The_mudman_44]

Second shotgun is very good, the 3rd smg is basically a shitty assault rilfe (bb gun). cs12 is only good with drum mag on point blank at mid range its useless, not like the second shotgun which has the biggest range and most damage. Minigun ist also useful against melee preds.
