You can really tell who has "stuck around"

I can say the defense buff for the pred is there. I think its only the first 25% of the preds health and the lat 10% before second wind.

And of coarse you will see no noticeable difference if you are just 2 feet away from the pred spraying into it.

In my experience playing the game as the pred with friends who have great aim. A sniper shot at distance while at full health was basically chip damage. Less that 2% health was lost till I dropped down below that 25% mark after that the sniper shots hurt like they normally do. We all know that sound the pred makes when a shot lands. I was able to take three shots with out imp en before I dropped below 50%

Yeah that.

And it needed it. The next thing they need to add is if more than one medic the perk no longer works

Agree, nobody is complaining about it for a rason.
Oh and I’ve said the stacking is the problem a while back and that they should do something about it. 1 is fine, stacking more that can help one another is a big problem.

I’ve felt like I’ve been doing less damage then before but DistubedLlama said he tested it and its no change.

Oh and I found the post with the devs addressing the balance:

Yeah but how did he test it. Point blank or the pred at a distance. The preds armor buff is definitely there. It would not be evident at point blank tho. Thats just common sense.

#100

No idea, perhaps you can ask him. At a distance I did feel a difference, but I tough its just my imagination.

the mask actually is “armor” thoughat least i think so as it has damage reduction

predator takes less dmg when shot in the mask up until it breaks you can avoid it by shooting them in the back of the head though

so i assume when it talks about armor it’s talking about that

or maybe it only applies in 2nd wind

it certainly isn’t applying anywhere else at any distance

I think its there. I was playing without imp all last night. I would be able to pester and deal damage and still feel good enough to enter for a quick melee fight and have enough life to flee without fear of 2nd wind cause It feels like you have chip damage at certain values

It definitely is. Was shot by two sawz 50 while not moving and took less than 10% damage was also within there effective range as well. Like they both said they got the 125xp for the shot but it didn’t feel like it

#104

Well I got no clue, some people seem to say it does, others it does not. Man the devs not giving us details so is frustrating.

#105

I haven’t been able to figure out and I’ve asked twice in the patch notes. I’m not sure it’s the mask. Lost mine pretty quick last night, but I don’t often lose it and have never tested numbers either so I don’t have a basis for comparison

#106

are you running impen/Ironsides? cause i dont’ feel that at all when i’m playing 2 days ago took 4 sawz shots lost 60% of my hp and i run impen on my hunter they were running sniper/fanatic no bane

i was playing with the PC folk and i was still dying just as fast when we weren’t running higher hp values

#107

No. I took them off for the test last night. I was taking way less damage to a point. Like when I dropped below 25% the real damage started. After I dropped below that 1 sawz50 shot took me down a normal amount. But then when at 10% I was able to take a shot and not get 2nd winded. Was dam near close but was not. Im sure If i has the two perks I would have been able to take 2 shots at that low health

#108

weird

#109

How so?

#110

cause your claiming stuff that i haven’t experianced at all

i’m still fighting predators getting similar damage values per game 1-2k

either done to me or others per player

if predator was taking damage the values should be lower
and they aren’t the averages are staying the same

then when i’m playing i’m still losing 20+% of my hp whenever i get seen by anyone who can actually aim

Maybe your testing at a too close of a range or what. I cant really tell you its what I was experiencing in private and public hunts.

it is insanely easly in public games (atleast for experienced pred players)
but in private games or against good teams its hard. I like that challange, I rather lose, but tried my best and learned from the match, than finishing a public match in below 2 minutes…
The fact we can balance things out now is very good, especially if you have many people to play/talk with and you can talk about which settings you will use. We (people in our discord) want to have a challange on both sides. Because the game itself has a bs balance. But with that update we have so many new things to try out and balance. It really helped us and now also players who just started to play the game or just suck at pred lol, can win there matches, by handicapping the FT.
But I can tell you, decent preds / experienced players win 80% of there matches in public games.
