When to Self-Destruct as Predator?

#1

So I’m curious to know what the community thinks about the Predator’s self-destruct capability, more specifically, when is the right time to make that call in the match?

The obvious answer would be when you’ve exhausted all options, about to die and have no choice. In my own personal experience, if the FT have got me down to low health, healing or boars aren’t an option and they’re about to extract, I tend to position myself from a far distance for them to shoot me to low health and then arm the bomb. Most FT’s are either so concentrated on hoping to extract when the chopper arrives or disarming it, but if you get it right you can actually score big points like this.

Well you can plasma caster yourself at that point so they don’t know where you are

My thoughts is of course the intended usage of being low on health and backed into a corner. You can also screw people on certain dailies so regardless if you kill them or not it’s still a good final F-you to the fireteam.

2nd winded outmatched on a building, there is no good time… an honestly its so ez to leave a match you decide when u fight… so dieing inmo is when ur second winded and a scout is on your ass always take the high ground never jump low always jump upward on the map to highest point with cover …jump at least 1500m away

What better way than to mess up a daily!

You can arm the bomb automatically? How do you do that.

I thought u can only arm the bomb when the FT depletes all of your health and when your second winded and u choose to quit

That’s what I was trying to say. When your second wind activates, you get given that choice To detonate. But could be an interesting idea for the pred to detonate at anytime they want!
