I hope it’s not a skin. I want to throw it. Not control it.
So, is the new meta that the FT hunts the Predator with a knife now?

Oh I see, so you mean like in the classic AVP games then where you lock on, through and it auto kills for you without piloting and then returns back? Yeah, that would be pretty epic. I’d even be happy if like in the AVP games it drained energy by throwing it, and replenishes over time.

Considering the FTs guns are hitscan, we should have aimlock in heat vision :)
That would bring energy management to a new level.

Wow, yeah that sounds pretty awesome to be fair. @Courier, definitively a good idea to pass on for sure, and would switch things up for the Predator. Also I do like a bit of micro management.
No it’s ok. PS4 players mostly do not know how to play. They shoot everywhere without aiming so when I play as Pred it is easy win for me. I can literally mock them, play like cat with mice and then kill with honorable kill one by one. Also PS4 players do not pay attention when you cloaked and your Pred make noises which normal player can recognize and start to search for Pred. But they just run like bots and I kill them by combistick and bow very quick. I’m not insulting anybody but the fact is fact. PC players especcially in team voice chat is very good players and it’s pleasure to play against them. If there was better online for PC then I surely turn crossplay off to play with PC only. Play against PS4 is just waste time or if you want not serious game with dummies :)
Personally judging by your comment I would have to disagree, as it completely misses my point about FT hunting the Predator with a knife. Ps4 players are not dummies in the slightest, and you say about them not seeing the predator when he’s cloaked, that may have something to do with the precision of mouse and keyboard, rather than them not being competent to play.
I’m mainly coming across fire team players that are on PC that either camp (see my first comment about the 3 PC player snipers) or run and chase me with a knife. Now this is just my own opinion, but that is not normal.
Now, I know that the FT gets a little more XP for killing/recovering the predator body, which is fair, but rushing the predator with a knife and stabbing him to death is a bit odd considering it eliminates the idea of a space alien hunter, hunting for prey. Its definitely something that @IllFonic needs to address. Also being a PC gamer myself, I’m aware of the advantages we have playing against console players. I’m also aware of the disadvantages PC players have too, like lowering graphics to see easier etc. I love PC gaming and always will be a PC gamer, but I’m certainly not an elitist, not by a long shot. That’s just my own opinion of course.
I usually down one let them lead me to the reinforcement point down another and wait for the other player to be revived then I’ll claim the one I most recently downed

This has been happening since the free weekend
Really? I seriously do not remember this happening at all during the trial weekend. I do remember the combistick dominating quite a fair bit, and some frame rate issues, but I definitely dont remember FT members chasing the Predator with a knife.
Also, most players didnt know you could actually pary the Predator until the end of the trial.
It is about time some FT do this. We are all fed up with how the Predator is OP as hell and are now just doing stuff to fuck with Predator main players. About time we strike back about the non existing balance in the game.
Lol, but it makes no sense! What do you mean its about time? Also, the Predator is not over powered, not by a long shot and as I said in my original post, I’ve won and lost games on both sides. I agree the game needs some seriously balancing issues sorted for sure, but FT hunting the Predator seems ridiculous. I want to hunt my prey, and stalk them, not have them camping on roofs or running in a group with knifes out, trying to stab me. And, when you say “were all fed up”, am I right in saying you mean the FT main players?
The reason I ask is I dont get this Pred main or FT main milarky and I play equally the same, and not bad at both species, but I can say that the Predator is not over powered and if anything, this game still caters more to the Fire Team in general. You have explosives, flashbangs, a powerful array of weapons and…theirs 4 of you, and from the games I usually play, a good FT can completely obliterate the Predator pretty quickly. I really dont understand why you would buy this game and just play one side. Its becoming a common subject with this game where FT players slag off Predator players and vice versa, like, whats that all about, its a bloody Predator game lol. Maybe its me, but Im sure im not alone with that.
Just another thing to add too, the Predator can loose his Bio mask. I’ve had this happen a fair bit and I can tell you, your chances arnt good if theres still a full team left, especially if they decide to hide under buildings etc and wait for extraction.

I just love when people tell me the predator isn’t buffed as hell and is so weak that they lose constantly with him. If that was true then why are the wait times for the predator like 5-6 minutes, why is everyone rushing to play Predator if they lose so much with him? Who plays a class that loses so much and still has fun? Answer is no one and we all know it. If predator was so bad you would all be playing FT all the time yet the FT base is becoming less and less alive. Also a lot of FT equipment is total crap. No one needs or uses things like the smoke granade or the audio decoy or even the flash because they are close to pointless. Same goes for guns. How many FT members uses pistols? Answer-zero. How many use anything but the last submachinegun? No one. How many even use anything but the one good shotgun? No one. In every match it is either sniper rifle or machinegun and as a secondary either mini gun or the powerful submachinegun,sometime the shotgun. There are like 5 weapons in the FT arsenal that are sort of good and I wouldn’t even put the shotgun on the list if I have to be honest. Also so many of the perks of the FT are useless like Yautja Bane or OWFL training and so many others that I don’t even remember their name cause I never tried them more than once. We are either choosing the perks with less dmg from AI or the perk that let’s you stay in mud longer or the quick reload or less recoil perk. The others have zero to no use. Also the Zerker predator isn’t just buffed he is godlike. Predator players using him don’t even cloak half the time cause they know his health is OP as shit and can just jump down, take fire from the entire fireteam, down at least one of us, long claim him, jump out fast and not even heal. Shit like the leap slam is so OP it does dmg through buildings and 2 floors worth of stairs. The leap slam has so much AOE dmg that Zerker can just spam that and in two 2 leap slams I am dead as a FT member. There is no way to counter or avoid a leap slam not matter what and no matter where you are. Plasmacaster is also OP as hell that it can fire over 10 shots without the predator going for a reload. You can’t engage a predator who does Plasmacaster fire against you cause his gun does AOE damage too and far more than whatever your gun deals. Probably over 20 bullets of FT equal 1 full charged or even half assed charged Plasmacaster shot depending on the weapon. I have been downed by like less then 3 Plasmacaster shots in some matches.
Yeah and all of what you’ve said is due to poor balancing, which I completely understand for sure. Also, the current perks do need fixing on both sides, as you are right, the majority dont really do anything beneficial for the player.
The Berserker is not god like anymore. He was post 1.10 patch, but from what I’ve seen, the Hunter/Elder have more luck in a match than a Berserker. Going back to you comment about pistols, I use the bog standard one on my Assault class, purely just for fun. Im not that fussed on how powerful it is, but I like to have varied weapons on all my classes.
You have to admit though, this game does lean more in favor of the fireteam. Even with customization options, the FT has more variaty. Regardless, going back to my original comment about the FT knifing the predator is still a really silly gaming style at the moment, and I do believe that is mainly down to balancing issues on both sides and not just the FT.

The thing with the knife I can agree on but we are all using the knife cause it deals the most damage. A blast from a shotgun straight to the face of the predator when he is downed deals less damage than a fucking knife. That is why you are seeing the FT go to hunt you down and parry you with the knife cause it is the most effective weapon in the game serving as both defense and offense. Actually if you switch directly to the knife the chances to parry a predator are much greater than if you are with a gun an hit the melee button. Game is broken as shit, devs don’t care. Hell they don’t even read or respond to comments.

Sad that there’s only one way to hunt/survive with 1/2 specific loadouts (against good->really good players)…

I agree with your comment about the issues with the Knife and why the FT use it, but I disagree with the comment about the Devs not caring. Its pretty old rubish you get with any game, but I’ve seen so many comments with this one about the devs not caring. They do care, and the love and detail about the IP shows, but they are a small team of about 70 or so staff, working through a frikking pandemic which no one on this planets ever been through in our life time for sure, so to say they dont give a shit is pretty harsh.
yes, this game has issue, its a bloody asymmetrical multiplayer game, and its going to take time to sort them out and get the balance right, and I feel they are going in the right direction.I certainly wouldn’t want there job, especially from a programming side. Like, FT is like a a more subtle COD style of game where as the Predator has a pretty complex predkour system. I know its a little too bugged at the moment, but I still like where this game is going.
When I first heard about this game, I was really excited, and still love the game. The thought of battling through the jungle against the Predator was just too good to ignore, and I think with time -and more maps- this will be an awesome addition to the Predator universe. At the moment though, it just feels way more in favor of a traditional FPS like COD, than a unique game and to be rather honest, the Predator SHOULD be over powered. The FT need be the ones that need to survive, and not the other way round like it is at the moment.
Net can be escaped in 1/4 of a second with a macro.
Thats another thing I’ve seen about this game. Forgive my ignorence, but what is a macro? Is it like a keybind or something? I’ve also seen this on the forums and mentioned in other games, but never quite understood what it is.
Also, would that be considered a cheat/exploit?
So can guns unload a full clip with a macro in 1s.
a macro is a programmed or recorded set of command that can be assigned to a single key (or button on programmable controllers).
So in this case you assign the interact key/button so be pressed 100 times per second when you hold the key or button.
insta net break.
