why the predator needs to be nerfed

Decrease in strength/ability

Iā€™ll make that call. The hunter class is a damn scout class. The fact that melee hits shred the pred and not the other way around. How about they get rid of all these stupid perks cause it makes no sense of having a class base system in the first place. Each class should have their pros and cons having perks just throws a wrench in the whole system. The predator is weak even after plasma shot, net gunning in one string I still have to swipe them more than once to down a guy. The respawn is way to forgiving. As the predator you gotta haul ass to find them and take em out however you can but you get spotted before even arriving. Then you gotta run cause most fire teams will chase your ass down while in second wind and you cant fight back while in that state or climb trees wtf kinda shit is that. If you isolate someone I should be able to kill them in four slashes not running in circles but itā€™s like I have to use my whole Arsenal to bring down one guy it should be the other way around. The plasma pistol is ass even with the perk cause the ft have counter perks. Elder sword is garbage. You got a whole kit that doesnt do squat. Iā€™ve only been using the net gun and smart disc. This predator was better in the trial version now its just a squishy sponge. Itā€™s not even a glass cannon for crying out loud. Balance my ass. This game is riddle with problems. And lets not forget how leaves stop bullets and plasma bolts lol.

If u play smart as the predator and place ure cards right, u could get easy kills but it take around 10-9 minutes to kill all of them. Also im a predator main but i do have to say #FUCK-COMBI-STICK its so stupidly boring to always win the game because of a 4-5 hit weapon what can hit at a very fast rate, it need to be nerfed how boring is ure gameplay is if use that as ure main. I think the ai script idea i say no, its just gonna make the game like DBD what i dont want to happen. I dont want to deal with people constantly messaging me that i im a baby pred despite i killed half of the FIRE SQUAD. I dont want this game to fail because of toxic players want to balance 1 side and nerf the other side, i dont want this game to fail because of balancing issues, if u have trouble killing the predator or fire squad just remember that this game will change and so will you, change ure meta or get friends to play because ths game is not suppose to be a competition but a game where u literally survive a enter galactic alien what has futuristic weaponry. Dont hate the game or dont hate the DEVS but hate how u play and hate combi stick. #FUCK-COMBI-STICK. P.S it is really hard to try and make a predator game with balance in it. (sorry for bad grammar im dyslexic)

of course I do. If they get in groups I use the plasma cannon. Then if one wipes out the chain gun i use the net gun. But even after all that you gotta burn all your resources on one solider And the fact the parry is brain dead easy and all four guys rocking mini guns almost not worth the risk of claiming the quick torphy. Then when you do get away and find them again they respawn all over. Iā€™ve down almost 6 fire guys in one match only to be stab to death by the last guy if I plasma shot his legs whereā€™s the space damage? I like this game but Iā€™m not turing a blind eye to the fuckery in this game. If it was balanced you wouldnā€™t be seeing berseker preds rocking combi sticks, or fire teams always using mini guns and the perks to do more damage to the pred and heal more pluse be more resilient. Yes this game is balanced alright

This is about the most backwards take on the games balance iā€™ve seen so far.

NERF FIRETEAM
The predator is almost completely useless as is. Iā€™m lvl 89 currently and even with the zerker+combi stick meta you get melted in 75% of matches.

Personally as someone who plays berserker with combi. The damage a fire team does to you is insane. One guy can wreck you. They should remove the ā€œextra damage to Yautjaā€ perks

The games are way too short allowing the fireteam to rush the 2 or three missions and then leave.

The predatorsā€™s entire kit is based on hitting precision shots and playing smart while a fireteam just has to stick together and spray you down.

Not to mention the fact that to heal outside of using gear you have to hunt down boars kill them, and then interact with them which takes up so much time.

There are also so many counter you can use to beat the predator. A well placed sniper shot to the head removes the bio mask and their ability to use thermal vision. Shooting the branches on trees, shooting the smart disk, bear traps, etc

The handheld caster sucks, the smart disk is too slow, the bow should give you more time before it starts shaking, pins with the combi stick or bow should do extra damage.

Last hot take: As predator you should be able to shoot down the escape Helicopter if you put enough damage into it causing the people in it to die and triggering a sudden death between you and whoever is left.

In my opinion predator needs some buffs. They need to make his other weapons and gadgets more viable then what they are now. Like seriously is elder sword even in the game? I was excited when I unlocked it only to be completely disappointed. Same goes for the war club. And lets not forget how the scout class predator is pretty much ass. Hunter & berserker are the only viable classes.

It takes unlocking the last weapon to be good, and the OP wants to take that away from the Predator tooā€¦ šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

Just hit level 50 in the game and Iā€™ve been learning that zerk/combi isnā€™t nearly as OP as people think.

Just wait until you run into a team that body blocks and spams heavy melee. Zerk with all perks will die in 6-7 hits total.

Two man knife down
Four man body block knife down
The scout class can 1v1 a zerk/combi with all perks

Nice.

I highly disagree. If you are a decent fireteam, the predator cant just run in, and down everyone. Just dont be in the same building with 1 person. Then you just make it easy for the predator. I think I only lost 2 or 3 marine matches, because of bad teamplay. And I even refuse too use the sniper rifles, other then the first one.

you got a video of that scenario?

I just thought 4 squads and I fit that exact description sorry man

And you probably try running in with a scout or hunter like a dickhead

No, I take my time hunting, yet Iā€™m spotted every single time. Donā€™t call me a dickhead when you havenā€™t seen the matches Ive played.

I think eveyone should just go and see how strong the parry is themselves then report back. I purposely separate from my fireteam just to help make the game playable for the pred otherwise it gets boring wasting every pred every match. Its just too easy.

With the whole parry thing - tested, itā€™s bloody strong! I dealt some damage first with that decent pistol, before he came in with a combistick. I managed to parry every single attack and got him into second wind.

Granted you need to nail the timing but, itā€™s not hard once you get it down.

WOW! Thats a really long post. Let me make tgat more concise for you.

ā€œDe prwedater needz 2 B nerfā€™d Bā€™coss I suk an doneT 1nt 2 poot Fā€™rt in2 geting moor betā€™tar.ā€

Seriously, i lose all the time as the pred, and kick ass as Fireteam, and i fucking hate it.
I know iā€™m not a great player, so the Pred must just be that fucking broken that its able to make ME look goodā€¦ šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

The troll was too obvious man. Youā€™ve got to dial it down if you want to fly under the radar.
