Did they shadow buffed the Pred strain?
I hope it was not intentional(BS) or that maybe, im hallucinating or some internet thing
but the last time i played with the pred strain(today) i got constantly get "comboed" by the hunter as they can virtually do their vomit or spit attack at the same time their pounce connects and since you get staggered you always take the hit.
I was using the shield pack and light armor(64) and my team of 4 in public one well... they all left after the first bug breach (-9 lives) i barely completed 2 out of 3 objectives and died for good.
Light armor doesnt really gets two shot but it leaves at deaths door, with a broken limb or bleeding on top of that the double stagger opens up for another to finish the job the shield was my only life line and i cannot image tru what kind of hell my teammates had to go tru with ONE breach especially since light armor is the ussually here
