WTF is this?

Can somebody explain to me how this female recon unit (with bandana) knows im standing there without some kind of cheat?

She comes around the corner, clearly looking in my direction the entire time, with her knife ready and moments later starts knifing me in the correct spot. All this while her teammates have no idea i’m there.

They can hear you. The sound that a predator makes depends on the distance. You can be spotted by this way.

It’s because the Fireteams basically have superhuman hearing and vision. I had a similar experience earlier… It’s like the game should be renamed Fireteam Hunting Grounds… It’s ridiculous.
I can only assume that during the Beta, (which I missed) that people complained about the Predator being too difficult to beat… (which should be the case IMHO) and the devs nerfed the shit out of the Predator… And totally buffed the Fireteam with god-like Perks…

Yes, they can hear me - but doesn’t give them pinpoint coordinates to my position. The other fireteam members didn’t know exactly where i was, but if you watch the video - the female recon comes round the corner and doesn’t stop looking at me. Then her first swing is exactly on my position. I dont agree this was based on sound.

On the contrary, I have participated in the beta and the only active predator was the hunter and I was too weak in the beta as much as right now.

I literally JUST rage quit because of the exact same shit lol. Those gargling noises should be an optional thing not an automatic thing that gives away your position among the other billion things that do

Wow… Wonder why the Predator is so underpowered?
I was hoping for a game, where humans feared the Predator…at the moment, it seems like it’s just a distraction… =(

Currently the only predator they respect, they don’t fear it.
Berserker + combistick, they say it’s broken … I don’t think so.

My Hunter just got shredded by two dudes with knives… 🤔

Predator noise shouldn’t pinpoint his location. Another thing is if you change vision whether you’re 1m or 300m from the fireteam sound level is the same, WTF. In the movie all you hear from the predator cloaked was people screaming not a “carnival” coming to town.

It was based on sound. But not on the one you thought of. The sound of a spear. The moment you took out the spear you burned. Well and yes, you are not so invisible even when standing if a person came close to you

She heard you. They all did.

I wasn’t aware they could hear weapon changes? I’ve never been heard before when close to fireteam members changing weapons.

When people change weapons, you don’t hear this, but the jingle of a spear, the sound of a plasma gun’s aiming, the inclusion of blades, all this can be heard closely.

Yes, she heard me. they all did. So why did all the other fireteam members not know exactly where i was but she did? They were throwing grenades past me and shooting. She wasn’t. She focused on me the entire time, not slicing the air anywhere else with her knife. Instead first cutting right on the exact spot i was on. You dont find that odd?

Nope. Maybe they were in the party at all, and the grenades that they threw were smoke. By the way, against the background of smoke, the predator is perfectly visible.

This, by the way, is the answer to why smoke grenades are in the game.

Invalid point. I had made the spear change before she even arrived. look again.

She ran in and started swiping based off a guess, most likely.
I’ve done the same thing but with a gun.

Pin pointing where the sound is coming from isn’t the hardest thing… it’s strange yes, but eventually the FT will figure it out if you don’t act on it.

I didn’t see any smoke around or behind me. From the angle she comes at me, there’s no smoke in the background. Anything else you want to add?
