Unnecessary noise

So let’s take a look real quick at recent update additions to the arsenal on both sides.

Since launch, the Predator has received the following Weapons/Gear items.

  • Samurai Sword: Melee Weapon
  • Viking Axe: Melee Weapon
  • Valkryie Hammer: Melee Weapon
  • Alpha Sickle: Melee Weapon

On the Fireteam side we’ve received

  • OWLF Pitbull: “Assault Rifle” which is energy infused
  • Plasma Prototype: “Assault Rifle” which is energy based
  • Hammerhead: Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher
  • Mercenary: Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher
  • B34ST: Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher.
  • PDL: Anti-cloak auto spot adapted motion sensor that is classified as a Weapon
  • Self-Revive Syringe: 1 time use self recover from down.
  • UAV: Aerial spotter drone that spots all map items in vicinity of user, including the Pred
  • A.C.I.G: Anti Cloaking Grenade
  • EMP Mine: Deployable mine that…well…I’ve never actually seen it used or used it myself quite honestly what the hell does this thing do anyway? Like a stationary ACIG you hope the Predator lands on or trips over? I dunno here…

Anyway…point is, since launch the Fireteam has gotten utility items to negate the Predator’s cloak, better (debatable yes) weapons, and a gear item to keep them in the fight.

Predator has gotten…Melee weapons. Melee being the best most effective way for the Predator to engage the fireteam if you’re into short matches.

Not for nothing but can the pred maybe get some toys that negate the fireteam strength of coordinated fire? Or maybe some more ranged weapons? A slingshot maybe? I dunno, spitballing here but I think you get my point.

Shut up, git gud.

They don’t seem to realise that balance isn’t in the numbers , its also in what assets you have at your disposal

Ahhhhh have you seen the neca ultimate city scout predator? It had a god damn predator sniper rifle! We need that! And all the range weapons are 10x worse than just using your shoulder cannon, so ots kinda needed

Of all of that new weapons, maybe 2 or 3 are really effective. Hammerhead, Mercenary, Rocket launcher. My opinion of course…
As for the Predator, the same thing. Samurai sword and Alpha sickle…

PDL and ACIG I’ve come around on. I initially had a “meh” opinion on them but lately I’m coming around on their usefulness. Actually quite useful limiting predator engagements and forcing range against melee builds. You got two guys with good aim and an idea where the Predator is or will be that PDL can give some real headaches

Pdl is amazing and pisses off preds to no end, ACIG is now top tier because it scares preds away or just straight nullifies disc users

I’ve noticed. If I wasn’t so in love with carrying a second weapon I’d probably use it a lot more.

I mean we keep asking for the spear gun or fugitive to get all his gear like the helmet plasmacaster to automatically return fire, the wrist launcher blades, firing the wrist blades, being able to steal weapons even if we don’t fire them that well, etc etc.

The fourth film has a bunch of shit that’d be useful to Predator but I’m sure what we really need is a celebrity cameo and an another oc with a melee weapon.

i think batman on FT would be cool… and so would my little ponies at this point.

On a serious note here though. Between complimentary specializations, advantage negating gear items, and more firepower. The fireteam can come up with multiple strategies and tactics to not only deal with any level predator they encounter but force them to change their approach and style enough to slow them up and complete what was already a relatively easy objective.

Predator got two big sticks slower than me after a three day bender and a stabby slice that does small DOT bleeding. Anybody else wondering if the pred can get some cool toys to disorient and separate the fireteam or distract them from the objective and slow them down? I mean we go through 150 levels of progression to unlock weapons and gear as the pred, only to find the best most effective ones are the ones we started with in the first place.

Yeah PDL could be useful but it makes you use slots for ammo pack. And i don’t trade my serynge+grenades for anything. :)

Owlf sniper spec with gearhead and owlf training. Run HH with PDL, syringe, ammo bags and ACIGS. Working great for me so far.

Nevermind misread that. Meh…yeah but with a team, you can make that sacrifice, and let’s face it that’s when it’s most effective and dangerous
