SLAM! Question

Does it do a lot of damage when you slam on the roof of a building that FT are in? Thanks!

Nope. It was nerfed into the ground because Illfonic takes its balancing suggestions from little bitch cry babies.

Damn. FT has huge advantages

Most roofs and walls block about 90% of the slam damage. You’ll have to shoot plasma into a building if FT are trying to hide out inside a building for some reason.

Seems like FT is more fun if you have friends online to play with. Bros having fun while I’m lonely Predator playing alone in the basement lol

tbf full damage on players in a building is pretty op

Possibly. As FT I never minded. It was great for dealing with campers. But it’s one of many data points in a disappointing trend with regards to balance.

The in-game balance for slam is supposed to be that the predator is stuck for a short time recovering, allowing the FT to get a few seconds of attack in. Having it work through the roof and walls of buildings made it so that it was just free damage without a chance for the FT to counter. Common camp spots can be fixed through adding windows to the buildings so that the Pred can fire plasma inside. The problem is all the rest of the game’s balance, really.

I think more or less what the Pred needs, to start, is one more gear item slot, and one more perk slot. Then there needs to be more predator gear.

I would agree and also add the FT has ridiculous capabilities. Damage output, nigh unlimited stamina, insane speed, etc.

Yeag. Pretty much have to use perks to get away after being winded due to FT speed

It was too much. Any objectives inside a building were a death sentence, especially since you could just domino the whole team. I think it’s fine now. High risk/reward on the open, little ā€œcome out and playā€ nudge in the building and if it doesn’t work there’s od faithful to trusty plasma caster

The damage from the slam should depend on the type of building/roof its on

Slam should be removed entirely, it doesn’t make any sense what so ever.

And a seven foot tall alien running around in trees does ? šŸ¤”

Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

I can accept an alien far easier then physics being loopy.

This is true , well if we are going down that route I need to know your thoughts on dead soldiers being spawned back to life from a radio šŸ“» and fireteam parrying said alien

And humans keeping up with a alien made entirely of muscle makes sense

None of this shit is meant to make sense 😁 , what should make sense is individual fireteam damage output

Steroids?

I think you should spawn back as a different, ideally buffer load out. Encouraging players to run less buff load outs up front.
