Spotter perk

#1

So this is one of the less talked about ft specializations that I believe needs to be talked about.

I have three points I want to discuss.

1: The spot duration is reset every time I re spot the pred. So my current build the spot is just over 5 seconds. I have found that if you re spot the pred the time is not added but reset entirely.

2: being spotted as the pred is going to make tracking on the weapons even worse. It slows the pred down so much that you can easily read moves.

3: the pred is still highlighted red and essentially gives me a temporary wall hack. So after the green mask icon wears off there is still a 2-3 second window where the Predator is outlined in red and can be seen through walls, ground and trees.

Now then.

When playing with friends they basically tell me when I am spotter I basically break the game because the Predator is constantly spotted when he is engaging. I dont even shoot the pred more than to get the initial spot. Lol.

I believe the spotter perk is a little op atm and needs some rework.

At the very least it needs to lose the speed decrease as it makes no sense, you already get a 7 second spot which is immensely great for your team and synergies well with sniper and leader so why slow them down it’s overkill.

Not only that but from the preds POV they can no longer hide and must continue moving or they’ll get melted easily especially since they can easily predict your movements leading to them throwing accurate grenade throws.

I agree with that the slowing down the predator is the only thing that should be nerfed. What because you see me I’m all of a sudden slower? nah if anything I’m making more haste.

I agree the slow down effect is broken. @GothamsPredator and our homies were playing a
Round if private matches and I rendered The Katana useless because I was able to just dance around it with no worries of being hit with it

If they want a slow down effect make a cryo-gun like in pred 2 that deals little damage but can slow down the pred.

Yeah something. I think a cyro gun would be cool or even cyro gear like nades and mines

Lol. You know. I went from being a damage dealer to a frustration dealer

That’s how I play as spotter as well, it gets to the point that I’ll barely ever shoot I’ll just whip out the knife and chase the pred down spotting them. Still I’d rather go Scout Dualist and melt preds while chasing them.

1yup that’s a thing
2yup that’s a thing too
3yeah were still spitting facts

spotter perk is still one of the strongest varients in an optimal team comp your probably taking a spotter or sniper depending on the skill of the player taking the role
less skill->spotter more skill->sniper

all they really have to do is fix the CD of spot make sure that it’s only 1 spot per 15seconds so after the 7 second window or whatever the predator can’t be spotted for 15 seconds which i’m still surprised this thing i asked for when the game came out isn’t in the game still

you could take away the speed but then were taking one of the only forms of CC FT have which illfonic would probably feel like they should put it elsewhere and i’d rather it stay here then fireteam getting some kind of “gravity grenade”

Agreed. Slowing is horse poop.

Can someone clarify whether this perk detects bear traps?

This is the specialization not the perk so no.
Not that you really need to spot them anymore they’re kinda hard to miss

The slowdown effect needs to be done away with, but until then I will enjoy it.

Still not as filthy as running a Field Medic. ❤️
