Wristblade Targeting

#1

Can we fucking fix it?

I mean all pred melee weapons suffer from the shitty auto-lock system mechanic, But the wristblades with the super low range make it so you’re being knifed in the side the entire time.

The amount of fights this nearly costs me because its retarded auto-lock style like makes me lunge over their shoulder while they knife me for double the damage OR gets me stuck on a tiny bit of terrain next to the FT member, while again they have no issue knifing me in the side while im doing it.

Like what the fuck.

The auto-lock is still shitty? Ugh. No wonder I had my katana miss an AI when the blade was right on it (I think I have a video of this). I just thought they had small hitboxes and I barely missed it.

Nah its the auto aim, its still bad with the other weapons, but with the range of wristblades vs an FT member whos stabbing you, its just totally unforgiving. And then when you try to turn away to get the fk out of there, it sometimes even turns you back around like you’re locked in melee with the FT member.

Like I’ve said many times Pred melee needs some overhauling in general but Wristblades REALLY deserve some love. I’d personally like a small buff to attack speed and adding a small bleed DoT like the katana. They are a signature weapon and also cool as hell and need more encouragement to use. They are worse than FTs knife? How?

Because the FT are the hunters in this game

#7

A 4 man premade can make that claim. The majority of games, randoms its not that IF you’re a decent predator.

#8

True. I’m speaking with regards to the higher end of the skill ceiling. Organized teams

#9

Yeah but what I am trying to say you can still feel like the predator in most of your games. People playing mostly predator keep seeing only the empty side of the glass.

#10

Yes. Premade or randoms makes a much bigger difference than PS4 or PC. Teams that communicate, coordinate, and defend downed teammates are orders of magnitude harder to hunt. I think it’s fun. Others think it’s frustrating. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

I mean my point isnt really about balance or 4man premades etc,

Its that the wristblade targeting is broken. All i want is for it to work, and not spin me around 3 times missing with some autolock bullshit i cant disable.

True. It’s very unreliable, and it really shouldn’t be locking to target unless you’re actually pressing the attack button.

#13

Can’t even talk about Wristblades and melee getting some love without the PC vs Console War getting involved, lol.

#14

There are many things broken, for instance, do you know how many times you activate an object on FT and then it cancels mid way with no input from you and you have to start it over?

The previous posts where about the predator still being able to feel good hunting since you got lots of randoms running about, nothing about game mechanics, bugs or whatever else.

#15

Like mud. Not to mention, sometimes it just will not activate mud up, even knee deep in a swamp.

#16

Yeah that happens sometimes when another FT member completes an objective or act, it can reset yours, like breaking an alarm or picking up ammo etc, its annoying as fk but its way less likely to get you killed than wristblades getting you stuck on terrain while you get knifed like a london east end gang member.

THE WHOLE PREDATOR ARSENAL AHS BEEN TRASH SINCE 1.06
If you can’t do much dmg vs the FT then what happens is they will easily win.
