It’s decent at range I find, especially after a few caster shots!
Pew pew!
Squirrelly Predator Bow & Caster Spammers
I liked it how it was
I even got fucked by it when I played FT
I miss the pistol

Pistol is great for tree builds. It’s so hard to tell where the shot is coming from. Great for trapped or downed FT
James Cameron hates the bunny hopping but since the FT is OP it’s one of the few strategies that works.
Also wouldn’t call it spamming, especially with the caster. It’s the preds main weapon. Do you call out the FT for spamming bullets?
Nope sorry ft is way over powered now and some players of pred have found a better way of staying out of the gun sights of the fireteam. Sorry to say this but deal with it for us pred players have enough of the cheats that ft uses on pc mods ect hence why I only play PS4 players less cheaters but they are still there also the field medic spec if all ft has that what’s the point in playing op gun op spec. So we have now changed the fight by using skill with rinse and repeat. If this upset you then to bad son I’m sick of op ft melting me when I attack so just deal with it.
Here we go again…what cheats do FT use bro? If anything, it’s a few of the “top preds” who use all kinds of exploits.
I actually just tried it last night and wow, yeah that Grimtech can do some damage.
Obviously I’m not saying the Pred shouldn’t use the caster, I didn’t have a problem when it was a one direct hit down. I’m saying I see some Preds just fire and fire without charging, then once the FT member is down, they’ll fire at them when they’re down over and over until they’re dead. It sucks, if you’re going to take me out at least claim me.
Again, I’m ASKING based on personal experience if what I see could be an exploit, which doesn’t mean I don’t think the Predator shouldn’t have specializations or buffs or new counters in other areas. I’m also not saying this should have a massive change, like when FT had ridiculous parry spam, a couple of small tweaks could set this right. Small reduction of bow damage if quick fired again and again right after multiple jumps, and reduced AOE (not damage) of the caster when uncharged.
If they do the exact same jumping movements, like they just keep jumping back and forth. I play on PS4 if you did that I would just quick scope with sniper. Dodge or just do mission.
I use the exact same strat except not as basic, but most people I see use it use the basic method. Jumping will work against a basic, but against somebody who’s better at it just be random slide, stop randomly, you can’t keep jumping and expect to win. If you can’t win agar them rush mission.
TLDR: Don’t just jump to dodge, be more random. Get better aim (just basically learn the jumping pattern.) Or the easiest and most boring speed run mission.
It’s not an exploit it’s a tactic. A very effective one that can still be countered.
The reason players just keep shooting and not bothering for the claim is, once at max level, claims are usually more of a liability than anything. Going in for a quick claim is probably the most common way to get put into second wind. The FT DPS is such that a grenade or two while your claiming and not only is the guy you were claiming not out of the fight, but you are.
As far as bunny hop bow spamming goes. Well I don’t particularly feel predatory while doing the leaping legolis but it’s effective. Nobody complains when I do it with a melee weapon but it’s just as effective and called hit and run. It’s just with a ranged weapon you take less damage and tend to have a better win rate.

Ask illfonic to increase gun damage another 100% because controllers arent made for aiming lol.
Seriously just give PS players bullet magnetism
Field medic is stupid, melee is stupid, and so is jumping into 3 people to try to get a claim. And also having to waste a slot on Ironside for that “playstyle.”
Defensive/offensive stat adjustment perks should be removed.
lol every game with pred in it has had bunnyhopping preds in some form. Glad to see it back since AvP2010 jumpcastering tbh a fresh innovation for people to be upset about because it raises the skillcap ever so slightly.

If the FT and missions were fixed, I would be the first one in line to play pred the way he’s meant to be. Patiently and silently. But that’s not the game we have. Pred has to jump in and mix it up and reposition AFAFP constantly because the missions are three minutes. Game is just designed poorly from the ground up.
I expect Halo level aim assist at my desk by tomorrow morning

I can’t disagree
I don’t play the game
This is only an issue when FT can’t hit the broad side of a barn and aren’t covering each other’s ass
