they need to punish braindead preds, not reward them (rant from a fireteam member who wants to have other strats than camping)

Oh ok. 👌

ok one thing at a time

Can i assume your on PS4? cause i would assume you had a group of players with no spec probably running xp perks and land only around 30ish% of their shots getting around less than 300 dmg a game
so yeah no shit the Pred would survive hell he is scout? so 15 perk points prob running impen that’s 20% bullet dmg reduction so he has alpha hp could also be running ironsides that’s a nother 10% got the armor buff that’s another 25ish%(but only at low hp or otherwise random reduction in damage) scout has the hidden passive taking about 7%ish less damage from bullets (THAT’S ALOT OF DMG REDUCTION DUDE) so now we dont’ just instantly die when we decide to melee well actually we still do when you run into a team that knows how to play the game

he literally can’t though against a team that can land at least 50-60% of their shots and don’t take XP perks and don’t run the like 6 troll guns in this game

actualy a zerker should be able to do this why else do we have all the extra hp then? if not so we can force kills by trading hp? so i suppose your in favor of leaving all the heavy predators to forever be trash so they are never played over the objectively better hunter’s cool

i’ve never complained about this since it’s easy to deal with and FT just lose on time out anyway honestly were just mad cause it wastes the 10+minutes we spent in que for this kind of game

they literally don’t

shotguns are notrious that they do the LEAST amount of damage to the predator out of all guns literally the AK at close range kills the predator in less than 3 seconds dude that’s one single FT member btw so if you had 3 the pred would die before the skull was ripped LOL

that’s true we would cause we already feel like we have too little hp when we face good teams it’s a good thing in privates we can boost are hp values the common numbers is between 20-80% think about that and in the games i’ve played Pred still loses 80% of the time

so it sounds like the game needs some Aim assist and a tutorial

i get that this was a RAGE!!! post but think abuot the team comp you had and the perks that pred was probably running might help you think about why you lost rather than just what that predator did in game

cause reading your post tells me you ran into a predator who was also bad but you guys were worse than he was unless he was leaping all the time between every single melee hit (which is what your supposed to be doing with the katana only doing full combos if the person is isolated and didn’t see you land behind him) but you make it sound like he was doing full katana combos

Some slight aim assist for both sides (pred and ft) would probably help PS4 players keep cross play on, as it is inherently harder to aim with a joystick then K&M. Probably would balance cross play with some fine tuning and help people hit shots, so I’d be down to see that happen.

You can shoot at a scout all you like but you must hit them in order to hurt them

The katana is very easy to dodge

Scout is the definition of squishy Pred

Are you dense? You realize the armor does nothing, this predator was clearly more skilled and was dodging bullets.

If a scout was able to melee a full fireteam and get a claim
That a very skilled predator

How much damage did your team do? Screen shot end match results please.
Maybe you were lining up your shots but what about the other three? What guns and perks did they use?

Yes or a very lucky Predator

Yeah

Yep, even though hate playing FT and I’ve had to I’ve melted a lot of Predator’s almost instantly.

No senior. I only used my combo stick and bow scout the past couple day my katana has been on my Valkyrie 😂

This makes no sense. So you are saying a berserker should be able to run in the middle of 4 people, down and claim one and then leave? I hope you’re joking. Trading HP is meaningless if you get a kill, games have like 13 pigs each games and 4 medkits for the predator. You get what, 17 FT kills each games? Not even by forcing second wind and you should NOT be able to do this. Even if only 2 people are shooting at you. Imagine getting a kill, 1 single kill, if you can tank 4, there is no way 3 can do shit.

It’s true. If one zerker or viking does that to 1 ft member, he is gonna be chased and not gonna have much chances to run away and heal, if the FT is good enough. But there is a chance though
In my opinion, that kind of engagement should not be possible with all 4 ft members trying to melt the Predator. I mean, if a Predator is gonna open up his chest to take the bullets of all FT, it should be melted no matter if he is a zerker or a scout. Somehow, that strategy should be disencouraged. Cause i don’t think that’s the spirit of this game and that’s just Mortal Kombat with 4 rounds for an experienced Pred player.

There’s kind of a balance point.
I mean yeah if a tankier class runs from one side of a compound on overgrowth to the other, he needs to be put in SW before he downs the FT member. If he drops down, takes two steps and starts melee, yeah he should be able to snake one claim and make it out with a little health left. Like less than 1/4

What are you talking about? If the predator can do that he would be invincible unless he is a complete moron. Leap to 1 and kill, leave, heal and return, REPEAT until entire team is DEAD. No possibility to counter, like not one! I would also like to point out that the moment 1 dies the predator becomes invincible if that is possible.
The predator should be winded even by 2 people, like 1 does the parries and knifing and the other opens on his ass.

Yeah we’re just gonna completely disagree and call it that.

Glad you’re not the one doing the balancing. Of course we are going to disagree when you want to make the predator so strong that he can tank 4 people fully shooting at him, kill 1 and leave. The fact that he needs to leap and not run there is somewhere above single digit IQ to do or do you find leaping such an impressive achievement over running and using melee?

When a pred would do that that, he’s pretty much throwing all his eggs in one basket. Smash the basket. Viking ans Zerk have zero stamina or speed. Pred pulls a move like that run him down. He doesn’t have an option but to heal, don’t let him, that’s the counter.

Its irrelevant what they don’t have, if they can tank all 4 and kill a FT member they would be invincible. The fact that you can’t even see this, its baffling to me.
You have certain perks like long jump and medic that would ENSURE he get’s to heal. Not that you would even be able to do that if you can’t even force a second wind (remember, you said he would get out of it with health to boot). Any predator is faster then the fastest FT, add medic and its GG even IF we would go with claim one and wind (not get away with health).
Furthermore, imagine every single game where you don’t have a full team (like right now, every single game 1 PS guy drops) or not a premade team that people can coordinate fire. It would be something like, oh, its a berserker, time to leave…

Where you even around at the start of this game when berserkers were flooring people? Yes, people did not have experience (like most people right now) or the right gear but man they where broken. Even Angry Joe in his review said how BROKEN they where.
