This game used to be balanced šŖ I recommend decreasing damage of the fast attack on battle axe(r2 button) and decrease the plasma pistol damage back to how it was maybe not quite that low but imo it was fine and nerf the crap out of the disc it shouldnāt be the most powerful weapon which it is maybe just decrease the disc count to 2 instead of 3 or nerf the damage on it by a lot maybe 70 hp instead of 125 hp which is ridiculous it does as much damage as a fully charged shoulder cannon or a head shot on the bow ridiculous
Someone on reddit complaining about the predators balance mainly the battle axe
The handheld is fine. I dont understand with the amount of dps ft has, why people steal complaining.

Just because fireteam dps is to high doesnāt mean predators should

Thatās not really an accurate statement no matter how you look at it. Purely in terms of balance, both should be able to deal the same type of damage to each other.
Look all jokes aside, the entire game needs a rework but itās not going to happen.
Illfonic for some reason believed ft should have the severe advantage they currently do.
So if pred gets one or two things that kinda matches ft dps, itās a form of balance.

Piss off.
In actual reality a single Smart Disc hit should do 1000 damage as it should outright cut you in fucking half. Everything you cry about with Predator supposedly being OP, makes me try and decide whether to laugh, or to cry at your sheer stupidity. Have you ever even played as the Predator? Against a good team? I very highly doubt that. All you Fireteam mains can whine about is OP Predator weapons when you idiots literally have things 10X more overpowered and 10X more brain-dead piss-takingly easy to use.

- A FUCKING PISTOL IS THE BEST GUN SO WHY CANT THE PREDATORāS PISTOL BE GOOD TOO?!? TOO HARD FOR YOU HUH?
You disgust meā¦
I do hate the axe. I do think itās OP. If it was as slow as it used to be, then, that would beā¦ I guess āfineā (the amount of damage), but now itās kinda ridiculous. I know vs premades it would mean nothing, but it sucks when youāre playing with randoms. Itās an easy kill for the Pred. No other weapon can down you so easily.
People are still able to solo a Battle Axe Predator though. Particularly of course the PC players like @Samhain13 but even I can solo a Battle Axe Predator as you can see in some of my Fireteam Hunting Grounds compilation videos. My tactic works about 75% of the time with a relatively fast class or just an Assault with Fanatic
True. But on the other side we have grenades that should dismember a Pred and a Rocket launcher that should send him back to his planetā¦
In Predators 2010 Mr Black got hit by at least 8 grenades at once and that barely even left a scratch.
Also, the only times a human didnāt get blown to pieces by a Plasma Caster shot was when they were wearing a piece of Predator technology underneath their jumpsuit. Other occasions were all shots deflected by cover etc.

I think the point sometimes is to simply relay on āpersonal decencyā
if the Axe in randoms could melt a FT in an istant, than people should not use the Axe in randoms, if they want to have some fun;
(I never use it, or the match would last seconds, and whereās the fun in doing so)
itās not āfault of the Axe itselfā, beacuse as already said the FireTeam has A LOT of advantages against a Pred, a good premade will not go down, and so having at least a few good weapons for the Predator is a good thing.
Side note on the yautjaās resistance topic,
I confirm that Mr.Black get almost 8 granades in his face, and get up as it was almost nothing,
and Iāll add that City Hunter get shot like 9 times from a shotgun (close range), lose and arm, and still goes on fighting and kicking
(of course we have cases like Falconer too, killed by a human blade, but we donāt know how their anatomy is, he could have easily be slashed in a lethal point).

Idk, I think the fireteam isnāt OP at all itās an asymmetric game when playing 1vs4 of course itās not going to feel balanced although i do think the snipers could use a rework itās fine if youāre playing solo but if death squads all have snipers it is hard to do anything but still itās possible to beat them just need to play up close
On Pred 87 Blain and Dillon gos shot by plasma. One got a hole throw the chest the other lost an arm. There were no splash damage.
On Pred 2, 6 shotgun shots put down the Pred.
On Predators 2010 a single grenade killed the Pred
This gameās details in general are not loyal to all movie occurences. If it were, a lotta work had to put in there to make it functional because if itās not balanced now, it would be even worse.

True. The inconsistency of explosives in Predators 2010 was also pretty noticeable - Nikolai incinerates Tracker with a C4/Claymore or whatever he detonated, meanwhile Mr Black survives 8 Frag grenades lolš¤£
I definitely agree! Iāve came up with a dodging tactic, but if I mess up, Iām dead. I am NOT a good player, and that is a fact, and I know Iām supposed to git gud, but it is frustrating that shittier players than myself, can manage to kill me āthat easilyā. I guess I hate that all weapons requiere certain time of constant hits to down a player, but the axe might be just 1 hit.
But you are DEFINITELY right. A good player can 1v1 an axer.

I did this to bot bravo like two days ago on overgrowth by the cliff. He was using his Valk with ghost and the axe, he dropped down on me and swung at me, I dodged by jumping to the side as the games tracking has a harder time when you do. Within a few sec he was dead from missing twice however, if I made one mistake itād have been over for me.
My only issue with the axe is the damage exploit where your whiffed attacks stack, so you can miss a heavy but hit them with a light and itāll combine the damage. This will kill any class in one shot. Itās a shame Illfonic would rather nerf the wrist launcher than fix an exploit or any of the other shot that needs fixing.

Not really the only way to beat the axe is by using guns which is a gamble there is no beating the axe with the knife which is so dumb you are pretty much guaranteed to lose all your hp šŖ
If bugs are reported on the subreddit, thereās no need to repost the bug unless you are also experiencing it, as we are aware. If you have suggestions on balance changes, please post it in feedback!
