How does OWLF operative’s thermal suit stand up to target isolation?

What was impenetrable before? 15%?

The same as other classes. I think illfonic intends to keep mudding as the only counter to target isolation.

That’s a bit of a shame

Thats a really nice boost.

I’m not really sure of what the point is to the thermal suit. So you can glow bright blue instead of bright orange?

Oh, yeah. My new build is Hunter with observant, impenetrable, and medic.

Just ask @Slasher_Clone, impenetrable makes the predator a tank.

If the armor defensive does get fixed, melee might be viable again and quick claiming too

Maybe more will be discovered with more play

So with Height Advantage, that should be a 42.5% damage reduction in trees??

Pred’s will just set up ambushes for FT near the trees and never come down 😂

The positives are very effective mud camouflage and footsteps that disappear quickly. Other classes are somewhat visible even while mudded up.

OWLF is easy to overlook due to the suit. You’ll still get spotted on target isolation but a Predator can potentially overlook someone that cool.

I think so.

Plus, I think if Ironside had good damage reduction, preds will find good use for it too. Perhaps even slam can be viable now if peed doesn’t melted as fast. Well know in a few days

Yeah. I forgot to test that earlier.

Looks like the passive is more of a downside then a bonus just like I thought.

Seems like if you run the Spotter specialisation you’re pretty hard to see when crouched.

I’ve noticed that the plasma rifle seems to shoot where your reticule was, instead of is when spraying left or right too. Which is kind of annoying.
