After spending 2 days playing nothing but the Samurai predator, I’ve finally came up with what I believe to be the most effective build for the Samurai Predator, this build is absolutely insane and I’ve been steamrolling fireteams with it all day! I made a small video showcasing how strong this build is, feel free to watch it and let me know what you think about this build :)
The best build for the Samurai Predator!

You are very skilled with the Predator.
I feel like the Samurai needs something I’m not sure what, but he feels really squishy for being a melee focused Predator. Maybe that’s just me.
Great video as usual.

He could use just a bit more speed imo :)

Nice gameplay. Some very clean kills in there. The balance between ranged and combat was nice and seems to work wonders.

Definitely alot more effective than just relying on the Katana :D
No all preds are squishy
Samurai’s definitely not that squishy, unless you just yolo charge in ofcourse :)
Did some trial-and-error testing vs decent PC teams.
I think the optimal katana build is
Class: Hunter
W 1: katana
W2 : Yautja Bow
Gear: Medkit, Bear traps
Perks: Impenetrable, Fearless, Adrenal boost
Basically the strategy here is launchig bear traps, down first FT member with arrows, see if team mates spot you, then:
-
if they spot you: start hitting with katana hoping to get the remainig three FT downed (harder). 1.a. : if the battle turns bad for predator, do as much damage you can and run away
-
if they don’t spot you: shoot as many arrows as possibile to reviving FT or just to wound them, then jump down and start katana slicing ( easier, almost 99% full win)
Fearless is a waste of perk
Why?
Your talking 5 more extra per swing… down range disc 110 without 135 dmg. All the heavy hitting weapons…
- Spear headshot
- Fully charged plasmap
- Disc
- bow hs
Common theme ranged pred is the way to go

Made mine have down range and fearless to whip that damage out with light bender to keep me in camo.
Jumping in with the katana after a few arrows is absolutely nasty
get parried lose stamina and have to jump out… some fts you can not afford to make one mistake
