Simply allow fireteam members to shoot their secondary from the hip while in downed state. No other changes need to be made. This would keep the current balance, while also preventing combistick and slam spammers from downing everyone in the same place without them being able to defend themselves. I really think this could make this game fun for both fireteam and predators, without making the predator too weak.
The best balance

Well, in place of Illfonic I would release new maps, new gamemodes, new weapons and etc. That what this game really needs. The balance at that moment is… not baaad. They shouldn’t focus only on balance, because main problem is that it is a little bit boring to play now.
This won’t make the game more fun for Predator. We won’t like having to deal with SMGs even while the FT member is downed. Getting downs is a very important part of Predator gameplay and this would just mess it up.
Also, if all you get downed by a Combi Stick or Slam, then that’s your fault. If it’s the Combi Stick, then stick together and parry. If it’s Slam, then split up (but not too far to where you’ll be unable to help if the Predator starts using melee) and stay out of small buildings.

Because people will continue to play fireteam, as they won’t feel helpless against good predators.
I like this, as a pred main, because it often seems bittersweet when I have a whole squad downed, all alive and capable of screaming for help and yet unable to draw a pistol and fire as though their lives depended on it. I mean, I would expect that from anyone armed like the FT. I’d likely be able to do it, without any training at all.
It would also make my habit of blasting or spearing any downed FT that are still living actually useful. It wouldn’t be that hard to stop them from shooting, laying prone, but it’s enough to not feel useless as your team fights for their lives around you while you bleed out
FT ain’t the Predator lol
