The Predators are WEAK...I mean the PLAYERS! | 1 Tactic you MUST learn!

#1

I have been reading a lot of the posts regarding the need to buff the Predator. If you posted that … you might need to be on the fireteam. I can’t tell you how many times I enter a match hearing, “Come here Pred…come on over here!” By the end of the match I have all their skulls and hear nothing but, “GGs Pred! GGs Bro!” To be honest there are so many hidden tactics that benefit the Predator it is crazy! The Predator is super strong and can wipe out an entire fireteam in seconds. No…really…I do it all the time. You should only be playing as the Predator if you have a super aggressive playstyle because even the Scout Build requires constant movement and rapid planning…not to mention frequent adjustments to intended strategy.
If you have seen the original movie you will know for a significant amount of time the soldiers did not eve know the Predator was even there. In the subsequent movies you would see how much the Predator was actually observing before he did anything. This is how you have to play the game as the Predator. You MUST be tactical.
Tactical does not mean take a long time it means think on your feet and quickly. You should be trying to find the fireteam and TOY with them. I use the constant pressure method. I keep endless pressure on the fireteam … and I mean nonstop. I circle uncloaked then I cloak then repeat over and over again.

THE ONE TACTIC YOU MUST LEARN
The one tactic you MUST learn as the Predator is the ability to move around and fight using heat vision mode. Your accuracy will shoot through the roof and you will be so much more efficient. I have found that the cloak is damn near useless. Half the time you are cloaked you are still spotted and highlighted in red so even though you are cloaked you are in all actuality BRIGHT RED!! I tend to turn the cloak off so that I can maximize the use of my thermal vision.
I watch a lot of other streamers and they NEVER use thermal vision with the exception of trying to locate the fireteam. Once they locate the fireteam they never use it again.
If you take and use what I said you get get 10x better and start to love the game.

Right on my Yautja brother and most predators dont remain cloaked after the fight starts anyways

Parry beats anything the predator can do if you have half a brain

I leave on vision mode permanently, and only really use the cloak to break line of sight while I’m changing positions when they see me, then it’s back off again.

This statement is just dumb and comes across as someone who only wants to play a Predator, sucks at it, and is now butthurt about getting killed.

I appreciate the optimism however thermal is next to useless against any decent Fireteam because they are constantly mudded and sometimes have a mudded sniper with Ice Cold lurking somewhere in a bush nearly invisible. I was in thermal when I went to pop one of them and ate shit when I got hit from somewhere off in bumfuck Nowheresville and jumped back to try to figure out what happened and whole in thermal the only reason I saw him was because I was literally walked right up on him by accident. Not to mention that thermal doesn’t give you a clear vision of obstructing obstacles, particularly plasma resistant leaves, and so while thermal
Is good it isn’t the end all, be all. There are serious mechanical failings here on multiple levels that needs to be addressed. This is coming from a Predator that has wiped about 70% of the FT’s I have gone against at level 89.

P.S. I had to kill 90% of those FT’s twice over because of the broken Reinforcement mechanic.

Yeah but it shouldn’t be like that, that’s so boring. I don’t want to play the entire match in heat vision because it looks terrible. I want to actually see the action.

No, u you have no skills is the problem. You expect, after a week, to be an expert with the Predator???
