So an intergalactic hunter can attack a person and that human can parry and deflect weapons (literally stunning momentarily, for unknown reasons), that can cut through every substance known on this planet. But the same predator can not parry or deflect the stainless steel knife that was just used to deflect the composite alloy weapons he’s wielding?
Why can FT parry but the Pred can't?
It is a bit odd that the predator doesnt have a parry.
However.
I cant say ive had much trouble with those types of hoomans.
The Net gun cleans that situation up for me.
On the other hand.
I wonder if the Samurai pred will be our first parry Predator. Samurai sword art include allot of deflecting stances natutally.
This is of course. If the sword itself is not a reskim of sorts.
I personally use a blade netgun combo or blade bow combo. Have been leaning towards the blade bow lately just because it’s devastation.
But why can the FT parry when an Alien, that’s entire life is spent going through the universe trying to kill shit that can fight back, can’t?
Especially as the FT parry is so fucking piss easy and actually causes a stun.
(It’s also easy to avoid if you know what you’re doing)
It just makes zero sense.
What if they bring in a parry penalty.
Spamming parry.
Eventually causes fireteams blade to break?
So.
Maybe 2 parries each.
But after that.
Their knife is destroyed for the rest of the game.
Like how Ft can shoot and destroy preds mask and throwing disk.
Id assume that would make since.
A knife gets dull and can evem break under pressure.
We are an alien that can cleanly punch through concrete as the lore has said.

I’d like to see a lock on type thing for the predator kinda like f13 had for jason cause I was playing predator earlier and it seemed kinda difficult to hit the ft member mostly cause he was spazing out, I really wanna use something other than the combi stick but everything else just sucks to me 😆
There is an Auto lock on, but it’s a bit slow.
FT members can move faster then it can keep up.
Resulting a swing missing by an inch usually.
Yea I’ve been saying Pred should be able to have an “Overpower” ability if anyone’s played World of Warcraft the warrior class can use a critical strike type move on any enemy that Dodges a melee attack of theirs landing no matter what and does big dmg…I think Pred having a “anti parry” Melee move similar to what I mentioned wouldn’t be unreasonable

Same reason FT has a heavy attack and more fleshed out melee mechanics in general
Guy rigging the pred model got bored halfway through

The pred can parry just like the FT. its just melee them.
Because the game has to be balanced and the predator has numerous melee attack options that can be used faster than the fireteam can melee attack.
