the predator should really stop going into melee

You literally start with the minigun. The only way to get it is to have pre-ordered. There is no ‘once you get it’ you either have it or you don’t.

No, that is also false, a fully charged plasma caster won’t down a Fireteam memeber, which is also dumb hence it is hard to actually make that shot.

I never said that predator doesn’t needs a buff read it properly before you get angry next time. I just said 90% of the predators that go up against my 4 stack party usually go straight into melee get into 2nd wind in like 15 seconds. we then chase him down and kill him. melee is not the way to go. that’s all I said.

I never said there was a problem with it. other people were saying ranged is weak. im just trying to prove my point that melee is not the way to win games

I mean, it will but ok.

You unlock it at level 63.

It’s like no one wants to admit the predator sucks lol. I mean I’ve had close matches but damn dude it’s showing on fb, youtube, reddit, that the pred is weak. Idk what else to tell you people. I mean has anyone even seen the club been used yet lol.

why bother? people use only berseck+combistick+perks on redused damage+melee damage so you can just tank almost everything, no skill no strategy just rush with this set up and you win 9 of 10

ok well excluding the pre order shit which I didn’t get. but you still get the stronger stuff as you level

How about the Predator, using his lvl 1 kit of Wrist Blades and Caster until he reaches level fucking 42 to get the combistick.How about that, is that balanced?Because the other weapons are just trash…

Dont listen to Ultimo, he’ll tell you all the Preds weapons are perfect and the humans stand no chance… 🙄

I been rocking the assault Rifle(trading up Everytime i can. On the AK now) and shotgun.
Been having good luck. Theres been a lot of times when i ran up on the pred and with the DP-12 and blow him into second wind before he can even claim my teammate.

Never even tried the Snipe or Minigun.

no its not balanced the levelling system is trash but im saying there are options once you get there. your really missing my point here

I use the plasma caster quite often but with what use, in the end I resort to melee because:
1.The plasma caster’ projectile explodes if it hits branches, leaves.
2.There is literally ZERO splash damage.
3.I can’t one hit kill a player without going into Second wind.
4.A fully charged caster is not easy to hit and it doesn’t kill, giving the player his 2-3 seconds to heal to FULL HP.
Tell me, how is that fair? How I can’t resort to melle in the end when the chopper arrives at minute 9.

If you play on pc I’d be more than happy to hop in a private match with you and test damage numbers out.

Well to be fair the “community” said the exact same thing after the trial weekend, but backend data revealed a much more even split. It’s anecdotal, but I’m seeing the same thing here. I’m seeing much more Predator wins today than I did say Friday night. Even myself, Iv had more wins lately as Pred and more losses as FT.

I think some tweaks need to be made, but you lot that want sweeping balance changes, I think, are going to be sorely disappointed.

The predator in the trial was way different to this build dude.

Has anyone run into a 4 man team rushing you with knifes and body blocking you so you can escape literally dead in 10 seconds, then they all tbag me, great fucking game

I never lost with the FireTeam, never and the only times I lost with the Predator is because the reinforcement mechanic just doesn’t give you any chance, recon spoted me like I was a boulder who can’t move, I got parried with a knife while the grenade launcher rocked my world…

I just can’t do this shit anymore, you stupid people who can’t seem to understand that no matter how good you are you can’t win as the Predator if the FireTeam sticks together, you just can’t, you can be an average fireteam player and still win against a beyond god Predator…

And you still DEFEND IT, it’s just incredible.

again they can only melee you if you melee them but I do agree that fireteam melee is to strong right now
