Until they nerf spotting I'm taking a break

#1

I timed it too. The Predator is supposed to be completely invisible after 2-3 seconds while standing still. I was standing still for 6 seconds; didn’t even move the camera. FT still marked me. Until they nerf it with a cooldown or make it impossible to spot while motionless I have no reason to play the Predator. FT is boring as hell so I’m just gonna wait until they put out a new patch to nerf that crap.

Edit: I mentioned above that it needed a cooldown but I can’t stress enough how much this is needed. All they need to do with every base they walk into is just spam across every building and every tree and they’ll find you within seconds. Audio gear does nothing because they won’t even listen to that while spamming since they know that’s what you’re probably using. Hearing a predator roar even though you haven’t even shot him yet is a dead giveaway.

ok first of all yes i agree spotting needs to be looked at but

  1. on PC players can change their graphics settings so as an example if they turn off there shadows predator invisibility doesn’t work anymore due to the way cloaking interacts with light
  2. standing still while cloaked DOES NOT MAKING YOU PERFECTLY INVIS it never has and doesn’t i have tested this 3 times in private games you can make out the shape of the predators head if you are looking for it due to the way the cloaking again interacts with light or other textures perhaps
    if someone is looking for the predator and has heard you they will find you no matter what unless you are physically behind something and have an audio decoy out it’s why i started running decoys over motion detectors

can you post a video of this please i dont believe it.

I’m suggest you test the cloak in Private Match with a friend and test it.

this would require me to comb through like 19 hours of stream footage for a 15 seconds clip
ugh

well by this vid i know now it’s a distance thing and platform thing so that’s usefull i suppose if your far enough away it is if not you can see the predator’s head shape
when i tested this i only tested ti on the ground at most distance was the distance of the platforms that seperate teh dirt from the buildings on overgrowth in the camp closest to the construction center
we never bothered to test at tree distances cause we came to the conclusion that if predator is in a tree you would already know it due to branches moving to support predators weight and the absurd noise they make

An easy solution BUT only if you are a PS4 player…
Turn off cross play.
It literally changed my experiences with the game.
PS4 players just can’t compete with PC players.
PC players have better graphics and better performance and can see predators a lot easier than PS4 players

If it’s a distance thing then let me elaborate more on what happened. I was on the complete other side of the base on a rock (crouched and not fully exposed) but they still saw me. If it’s true that removing shadows makes the cloak worthless then they have another problem to fix.

Yes im gonna have to debunk the whole shadows thing on PC, as i play PC and am predator 70% of the time and Fireteam the rest, however i have done private matches and in my regular games i have shadows turned all the way down by the way there is no off option in PC its just a slider option you can turn down, and i have to say the whole shadows off and u can see the predator is a BIG FALSE.

I agree, I have taken a break from this game until this is addressed!

#13

I agree. Spotting should be removed.

#14

I agree with op, I’m not playing until it’s fixed
