Ohhhh, I remember, that was the one match I did with my elder stalker. Yeah, that was a damn good match, you were with a really good team. I had to fight for those kills. I was kinda half toying, half bad aim/hitbox, but yeah I think if I took it more seriously I might have won. But you guys were melting me, it was rough.
Soooo….how does one git gud at PS5 fireteam?

I bought 87 last night, so far he seems almost identical to 25. Maybe I’m using the wrong combo of guns/perks?
They really did. I feel I need to tone down the regular hori/verti settings, it seems TOO fast.
Also, something I’ve observed since playing FT…what’s with the constant Hunter classes and not showing up or even hearing from them until like half the match is over? And then they just badly plasma spam? I’ve been getting that from a lot of classes but Hunter especially. New players?
Optimize playstyle. 87s bread and butter is cqc, if you’re good at hipfiring you’ll be unstoppable. Try to let your team do the mission work and act as a guard so when a dumbass pred rushes one, you swoop in and second wind them in seconds.
25 is all around best class though considering the specs, he’s quality in any situation but falls short with optimized builds, which everyone’s got a few of. No reason not to run him if you’re comfortable with it.
Yeah, I had one good teammate with me, one okay teammate and the last one was a complete potato.
You did good, but you should ditch the net gun for the bow or something else instead.
I used to run bow on it, but I switched to net just for memes. My primary is combi, I think I’ll switch that to bow. It’s a stalker and I have downrange, so it makes sense lol. And not bad with one tater. I find myself on Fortnite tato teams way too much, hence why I’m asking for solo build advice.
This is exactly my play style, honestly. I wait for a Pred to come down and melee and I go in on him. 99% of my second winds and downs have come from that. I’m bouncing around the previous assault build and the two Dutches right now, just trying to see what fits most. I do enjoy cqc fights more though

Yeah, it’s super frustrating playing with potatoes. The one good teammate I had for that match was raging on the mic when the potato was hiding instead of going to reinforcements.
I agree with most of the solo builds that other people have suggested here. I usually take the hammerhead on an Assault unleashed.
Sound design is SUPER good in this game, and you can hear exactly where the Predator is, so if you’re playing on the TV, headphones or surround sound are massive boosts in hunting the pred.
Mine too, play around with 87 more. I do mostly because I got shit aim, regardless that I’m console scrub.
I play with expensive headphones, always. They’re very bass-y so Pred thumps are obvious. What irritates me though is I seem to be the only person who can tell where he is at. I just got done with a match and jfc the literal kids on the mic, shooting at nothing screaming PWEDATURRRR!!!
I seem to have better aim as a Pred, oddly enough. With higher ads it’s easier to trace a player with the caster laser and get direct hits, same with the bow.
I was raging on the mic at a similar guy last night. Forgot which map but he was an OWLF hiding under the stairs, constantly mudding up. I was so pissed, as soon as I was revived I ran over to him to attract the Pred. I didn’t care about dying, I hate campers with a passion.

A fellowship of friends who can carry you to max xp, then use all the money in loot box’s to unlock gear, class and skins faster, also use the xp boost if it’s your first time playing, then after you get seasoned use Pred bane or thick skin and learn how to parry
I mostly main pred but you gotta have a good understanding of fireteamd versatility, playstyles, and missions to be a decent pred. Luckily the plasma caster and net gun don’t take much skill to master lol
Glad I could help. Weapons Handling is really only used for GOSL-R so it can be reasonably used as a main weapon against Pred and Armored A.I, but in the case of Hammerhead or other ARs that don’t have as much recoil as say GOSL-R or AR-W, you can freely switch out Weapons Handling for other perks that can no doubt help out. I recommend the following combos if you don’t need Weapons Handling.
Action Hero to stack with Assault’s already boosted Hipfire Accuracy Passive + Fast Hands for close encounters with Pred.
Prepper to account for the fact that you’re gonna be burning through ammo quite quickly + Fast Hands.
Other Weapons I generally recommend are Hammerhead or Mercenary if you really want that extra damage.
Prototype Rifle is not recommended because it’s not a Bullet Weapon.

I have never found a need to use prepper on any build ever. If you can throw on ammo bags with the health stim, there’s literally no reason for that perk.
The prototype weapon is criminally useless. It looks cool, but I think I’d rather throw a letter opener at the Predator.
Ppffffttttt all this talk of meta and best builds!
Lolz to all of you!!!
How do you “GET GUD”
It’s fairly simple, you put your headset on, turn it up, listen and shoot to dam 8ft space Tarzan muthafucker!!! Also if you choose to play solo you better be ready to sacrifice your teammates spines in order to win Royce that fucking trophy Hunter!!
All this talk about using the best perks and blah blah blah, is all bs and should just be a secondary thought to building your fire team character!!!
The key is teamwork or sacrificing your team in order to get the big damage!!!
All my ft builds are just the character loaded with gear and speed perks, with the implementation of specs the damage perks are not needed to play even against the most skilled of preds!!

Scout Duelist is by far my favourite class, but I’d say either Dutch is good as well.
Scout duelist is really good when you have a decent teammate, or a potato pred, but against a decent pred, if he engages in melee you are unlikely to survive if he starts plasma shooting at your feet while doing melee attacks
My “potato aid” build consists of support+Fieldmedic+thick skin+medkits+ammo+syrette. You will tank a lot of damage and be able to constantly put pressure on melee rushers, plus the explosive damage resistance will make you tank plasma shots with ease. If there is another support on the team, even more. Dante is another good option. Dante+Support duo is a pain in the ass even if they are both potatoes. They can tank so much damage together
