I play as the Predator, and here are my thoughts:

  1. The predator needs to be made stronger so that the squad is afraid of him. Sometimes it turns out that the Predator becomes prey …
  2. The squad’s knife needs to be made weaker, otherwise it blows away the mask with one blow, kills with the other, although the Predator’s life was full.
  3. Sometimes players shoot at the Predator, even when I have not yet managed to reach their site.

In the movies, the Predator is able to kill with one blow, here, the squad needs to block with a knife so as not to take damage from a spear …

P.s: sorry for mistakes, translated from Russian.

And if you paid attention to the first 2 movies, most of them ended up 1v1ing the MC, and if you made predator as strong as you say then no one would want to even play Fire team because it would mean losses every match. Every wild predator has to earn it’s prey.

I don’t want it to the point of where either is super easy to kill, it needs a firm balance.

Playstation or PC? I can’t tell you how many times ppl playing Predators need to state this before thinking WTF…

Согласен. Должен быть баланс, но иногда кажется что противник на читах…
Играю на ПК

И нужно проработать над текстурами, иногда просто застряю в них

Yes but in the film, predator dies every time 😂. Btw Predator is only weak agaisnt good teams (very few ij the World actually) , but in public match he wins most of the time. So the balance need to take both levels (high and low) into account to be good. In my opinion range weapons need buff and melee need a damage nerf as well as fireteam’s knife.

For the most part I’d the say game is weighted in favour of the predator. A really good and coordinated fireteam is unbeatable, but in any random game I feel like I’m more likely to win as the pred than not. I still think the smartdisc is trash and needs an overhaul. But most weapons now have their own specific place.

What I really wish they’d do though is let me put that glorious Predator 2 roar on another predator.

That said. I don’t like the parry system. I’m fine with the knife being deadly but I’d rather they couldn’t deflect your blows at all.

It’s a necessary mechanic to prevent someone melee ing the whole team, without if the Predator would have to be squishier. The knife has been nerfed three times including the stun duration. There’s a topic in feedback where in the first response I lay out how to get around parry. Think the thread was call ‘knife OP’.

So just like the movies.

Correct about the knife though its overtuned as hell and just another thing making melee garbage.
The knife damage is hilarious and on par with a shotgun and it makes no sense. I feel like illfonic was trying to introduce some method for the last person to 1v1 the pred which is cool, hence why parry isnt just a block and the knife inexplicably chunks hp rather than being a defensive thing - but there just aren’t melee mechanics in place to support melee combat. Two people with knives melt a predator and its extremely silly thematically the easiest thing to do vs any pred healing or chaining melees ever is to sprint at them with a knife and mash the near-instant heavy attack because fuck reloading & the heavy attack has parry frames because ???. The preds answer to this is to just give up on meleeing unless you can stab the person in the back because knives are scary.

Imagine if they introduce katanas. A quarter of the preds hp per swing?

Can’t wait, gonna skin me an alien and hang it from a tree see how they like it.

Learn to play, get better.

Bullshit.

Stop using the trees and cloak when approaching.

This is a game not a movie, where things need to be balanced.

#15

Predator’s aren’t bullet sponges.
You’re meant to avoid getting shot, not tank the damage.

#16

Well, IMO for the balance of both sides and bringing a little bit of movie feelings this game can just give a pred a much Interractions with map and ft, some sort mindgames that can make predy to kill ft by oneshoot or stealthkills if they failed in this mindgames or hidding. Same for pred, but pred right now dying a lot if he failed hes hidding mindgames. But i, if to be honest, dont know how to realise it and not to destroy balance

#17

Pred needs more perk and build options.

Can someone explain what he is saying because i don’t understand.

#19

I think he means…map interactions but for the predator giving him a one shot kill (lol).

If anything I think FT should be the ones pushing buttons to interact with the map and change things up I.E the lab skylight but more gamechanging & dynamic. Like dronestrikes are a wasted opportunity right now when they could be an optional offensive objective for the FT.
