I personally think this weapon is not overpowered at all and using it is a good counter play for FT using high DPS weapons stacked up on Yautja bain perk with high DPS class and specialisation. It has counter play in from of jumping aside so I really see no issue.
You all know what to do below ;-) See you in a week or so!
Its underpowered atm and one of the worse melee weapons, not a counter to good ft at all, you will be lit up.
I can relate. I used TheNomadClan’s Samurai Build with the katana and I really don’t like it.
Katana used to be pretty beefed, and the stacking damage glitch made it a useful weapon. Now its particularly weak, but if you’re knowingly going up against randoms and you enjoy hit and run, go for it. But for coordinated teams its not good at all.
Yeah, I’ll be an archer for the rest of my life.
And if a Fireteam doesn’t like it: screw them to hell.
katana is too slow and easy to parry
Not exactly it, but points granted anyway - 7
It’s easy af to kite, tracking is still terrible unless they’re RIGHT in front of you and even then, sometimes it just decides to fall an inch short or miss entirely. Not to mention how easy it is to parry
I’m not saying it couldn’t use some help, like a wider swing with light attacks, better tracking, and the Heavy should not be able to be parried, but…
The damage stacking was ridiculously too strong.
I never felt it was that strong, at least not how the Axe is ATM
Probably a ps thing.
I’m a PS player and I felt it was balanced better with the stacking. Tanks would take several heavy hits, and weaker classes would be downed in 2-3 hits. Not quite at axe level but a step or two below it. But that’s just my experience with it.
On PC it was still risky, the dmg wasnt really enough, but then I think back when I used in my main builds it was before specs were added to Preds. Maybe with Ghost it could have been interesting to try.
Most people ran it with Ghost, yeah. I did, and it performed pretty well, what with the speed of the strikes and alternating between light and heavy, plus spamming cloak so you can keep the perk damage going. Now its kind of the same thing, just with the axe.
is there any setting in which I can make the Predator not make a lot of noise?
Disciplined, on Scout. But it only silences the clicking, FT will still hear your footsteps and other various noises.
It was even stronger than the current Axe, if you used the right combo and Ghost. It was a 4 hit kill even on 200hp support.
I like the katana. It certainly isn’t meta, but it’s got style. If you fuck up a team with it it’s quite the middle finger.
I would commit seppuku before i’d use the katana against the Fireteam, kaka weapon!
You could get the programa heck to not make clicking sounds.
