Hey! So, I have been trying to figure out some good ways for laying mines, like positions and total number of mines that can be set.

Yesterday, I was playing on Uptown with the Pred. You can see my exact position demonstrated in the attachment. Well, I put a good number of mines against the wall, at least over 10. There was quite a bit of combat happening right there so they kept getting blown up. Finally I was able to get them to hold and then just sat back. A second later two Infils came right through and were completely one-shotted. That is the only time I have been able to really set up something that good.

Does anyone have an suggestions or tricks they use for setting mines_ Like overhead in the tunnel entrances in Facility_ What is a good way to "funnel" your targets into your mines.

I have also tried setting up my traps then going out into combat, but staying close to my trap. I will let myself get taken down a bit and purposely not play very good in hopes of getting them to follow me back into the trap. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Any thoughts_

set them in hidden places, wait for a mech to pass by and detonate. if you want to leave the trap and not use self detonate than thats a bit tricky. . .

but there are numerous places to put traps, just have to find one that people wont see,, like on walls or ceilings and some places textures hide them so there nearly invisible! just keep trying, you will also get the hang of it after a while, just takes some time and patience

also on that map were theres two halls one above the other, place the mines on the left side tunnel under the little box thing

Here is one Pred video I found. Here

It has been hard to find any really good Pred gameplay videos. I might have to record some of my games with it. Not all my games are that great but I do have my moments.

Edit:

Here is another video with that Pred that shows what not to do with it. Here

i know right xD

Here are some strategies:

-lay mines on a wall close together in a line near the entrance of a hallway

-lay mines below eyesight (not on the floor, unless the map is like Wreckage or Last Eco) or on the ceilings.

-Group of enemies together, fire mines at their feet

-In Wreckage MA mode, (Missile Silo 3) at the main entrance leading straight to the other MS, there is a certain piece of floor that juts near the base of the ramp, put your mines in a straight horizontal line behind it so the mines' blinking lights face the MS 3.

I liked predator, now I'm not so sure, I hardly lasted a decent amount of time during conflicts.
Game has become more fast twitch based, I think the predator has taken a back seat somewhat.

Really upsetting.

I am actually really enjoying the Pred in this patch. I have been in some tough battles that would have been hard for me to last in almost any type of mech, but I keep surviving in the Pred.

put the mines on the health orbs... If youre playing objective games put em all over the objectives you'll totally profit. Health is so low right now you can blow em up with a few mines.. shhh i didnt tell you.
