Did a little testing tonight and found the Team Proximity Damage Resist stats:
- 20m radius
- 20% less damage
That is an insane amount of damage resistance.

Yeah that’s why Dutch leaders are currently the tank class cause they stack all the dmg resist buffs I imagine
Ultra super Broken @OldKingHamlet @Courier what are you doing? That shit is ridiculous. Support was already the best class, now with the new passive perks and Field medic is just non sense. Please guys make all the classes at the same level. Support, Assault and Dutch 87 are far better than the other. Dutch 2025 has the worst passive perks in the game, at least increase his perk point by one.

How was support best class? Dutches, assault where better…
Support was as broken as Dutch 87. Medikit, Ammo packs, 175 hp , more starting ammo. 4 arrows to kill him. Gear head and you can bring 3 med , 3 ammo and 3 syringes. Unkillable.

Right. With one support, then your Dutch 87 tank builds have (180 base health)x(1.08 OWLF)x(1.1 Mud Dmg Resist)x(1.2 Support Proximity)=256 Effective health.

Holy shit.
There is no way support was as broken as Dutch 87. You could put thick skin AND BANE on him. All that ammo kits and med kits are completely useless. When was the last game you used 3 med kits and 3 ammo bags? I bet you don’t even remember. The damage bonus and speed of Dutch puts him far ahead.
I would say assault was better then supper just as well. Again, you do not need all those med kits and ammo bags! You could use that gearhead on an assault and dutch and tend up better for it. Just have different people on your team bring different type of bags (assuming you need them…) and just use assaults or Dutches. 4 coordinated people are not going to run out of ammo as they shoot the predator. If you run randoms and the other people are potatoes… Could happen.

Against a good Pred not having a Support is a huuuhe disadvantave. As well as having 2 is considered broken and it has been banned from Private matches and Tournament since day one. In pubs you can go all recon or scout with no tick skin and still win. That doesnt delete the fact that Support is extremely powerfull. 4 arrows to kill him, sustain for the entire team. Additional ammo at the start. Now it’s even more broken because you can pick up every one and dont die.
So, 20 percent damage reduction 😳 for the whole squad, does that also include the Support Class. I mean, does Support Class have a passive 20% reduction applied to themself or does it require 2 Supports to cross over?
Regardless, this is some fucking straight bullshit. Predator barely does enough damage as it is, now they have to account for 1/5th of their damage output being negated because of Support.
It’s about time Predator was given Height Advantage perk as standard. 25% automatic damage reduction while in trees, no perk necessary. And buff Impenetrable to 25%.
Today is the first day I’ve decided not to even load up the game, and after seeing this and Sharpys latest video I see no reason to play this bullshit again. Send me a DM when this game is actually balanced.
I should have tried that. I don’t think it applies to the support themselves.
It applies to any teammate within 20m of the support. I’m not sure why they chose such a high percentage.
I’m surprised that they didn’t allow it to stack, clearly they don’t give a fuck anymore so they should’ve gone all in- 4 supports with a total of 60% reduction 🙄 (please tell me it doesn’t stack…).
I’ll test that too. I doubt it stacks with other support passives.
I am not saying its an a good idea to have them in a team, I am saying that Dutch sure as hell looks more powerful to me(before the last patch). In the last patch, in my opinion there is no class better then assault. The damage you can stack on it its just bonkers. I did not end up fighting good predators, that’s true but the preds I found, If they don’t move for 2 seconds they’re screwed(and are in AR range).
But I could be wrong, you sure as hell have more experience playing against good predators. I used to play only support before the patch that nerfed medkit and buffed cloak, then I played Dutch and after the last patch I moved to assault.

Please let us know how it works, I am curious myself it applies to the class running perk or just the team.

For so carry in pubs, Dutch and Assault are very good too. I tested Deadly and it’s just 2 bullets less from close range with GOSL. For sure it’s a lot when 4 people run this perk and become 8 less bullets. But in solo I still think that pick up every one in 1 second and auto + team sustain is insane. Dutch 87 is very good for both solo and private matches. Support amd Dutch were broken last patch. Now Support is just non sense.

Its not just the deadly new specialization. Assault also has that bullet weapon damage. No idea how much that also increases or how it works but I am sure it has to add something. Then add bane. I do wonder how much that bullet damage thing adds if for support its 20%.
Now if that team damage buff also applies to support… That would be really nice. I never tested it, just read the description and it says team so I was thinkin its only on the team.

Assualt with both 3 damage buffs can kill an Hunter with 25 bullets of the Gosl-R if he doesn’t have Impenetrable.
