Is this suppose to be a thing? If I’m sat under the predator and he slams the roof above me and kills me… was that suppose to be a mechanic? I mean it makes no sense
Slam blast goes through buildings.

It’s a thing it’s suppose to make ft players better anyway when die a certain way hopefully ppl learn from it and get better or avoiding getting caught a certain way more than once, camping in buildings is not fair for the predator since he can get body blocked, parried all while being shot at.
While it’s true that body blocking the predator is not fair and should be removed, slam damage through rooftops is worse and should be removed ASAP.

This is supposed to be appropriate balancing according to the “think tank” on these forums.
As if taking off 2/3 of your health isn’t enough of a fucking balancing issue.

You mean like being under lmg fire for a second and a half?
Have literally anyone outside the building shoot at the rooted predator because all of you don’t need to stand on top of eachother picking up veratanium like you don’t hear clicking.
He’s now half dead or second winded depending on whether it was one guy shooting at him or three if they arent using pistols.
But balancing PC and PS4 the same way is appropriate right?

This ain’t got shit to do with pc/ps4, cause any smart ft will do that regardless of the platform.
I’m gonna trust you on that one
That they’re rare is another case >_>
Seriously… through a roof of a building. Stop
I don’t need exploits to succeed. ;-)

Yes, it’s an energy blast, like an EMP, the waves of the energy travel through physical objects with it’s spherical impact.
There’s a bunch of threads about this already.

One of the “think thank” members, i presume?!
Not a bug
Only if Hammerhead’s nade hitting through corners and fences is an exploit ;-)
I actually think that slam shouldn’t do damage through buildings, or at most do a VERY reduced amount with respect to its regular damage. A building is supposed to be a temporal protection, not a cage where the predator can hit you with impunity without even having to get in or get exposed.
I hear about bodyblocking. Cool. If the team decides to camp on a building as a brilliant strategy, the predator just has to stalk them and keep them on guard with projectiles and wait for them to come out or to keep camping until time is out. In that case they lose. Eternal camping is not a strategy to win the game, so slam through buildings shouldn’t exist as a way to regulate something that is not a legit strategy. That is just a bad argument to try to keep something that is simply a quality of life tool for predator.
For example, should the fireteam members be punished when being forced to activate a switch inside a building with more severity than they would be punished if the switch was outside in plain sight? Makes no sense.

wrong quote, I meant the one where you call it an exploit. Your think tank comment is pretty irrelevant.
Considering ice skating was removed but not roof slam, I can tell you roof slam is not an exploit, its intentional.
But I already know what kind if player you are. The same one who bitched about hand cannons in destiny. The same who bitch about good moves in warframe. The same type who bitched about crit and life steal/healing in smite. And those complaints ruined fun shit in that game. Cause you’re afraid of anything being good.
Even though slam has an obvious weakness. Which he stated but you ignored.
You talk as though you’re opinion is fact. That doesn’t make you cool. Doesn’t make you smart. It makes you annoying and close minded.
You don’t even try to find a compromise.
I’ve said from the start I think roof slam is a bit too much. But an overwhelming amount of ppl like it. So instead of removing it, how about we just lower the damage?

It’s an issue with a few ft’s when they see they can finish the mission, or are trying to kill the pred and ignore the mission.
The average team can barely handle slam as it is, so a lot matches I dont even use it. But if I see the team can handle it, il use slam.
If a team decides to get on a roof or a glitch spot, as far as I’m concerned they deserve no mercy then.
But slam is dangerous to use against an ft that knows the game. So if they know the game well enough, they wont just camp inside.
“Forum think tank”, like that’s a bad thing? Nothing wrong with a healthy group of intelligent players sharing ideas…isn’t that the whole point of this place?
The “think tank” is a regular group of pro-active Predator players from both sides, bringing reasonable and honest opinions based on experience to topics in order to find the fairest solution and offer advice to newer members and less experienced players. I’ve learnt so much from the forum members, and I’ve met some really cool personalities whose opinions I respect and value, whether I agree with them or not.
Crying OP, nerf this, buff that never helps get to the root of the issue.
Just my 2 cents.

While I don’t disagree that the roof slam is necessary in certain rare circumstances this is a disgusting smear and misrepresentation of what he was saying. You’re literally saying that punching someone through a wall is EXACTLY the same as punching them in the face and you look like an idiot making that claim.
