I think I will be changing up my internals as of this update to keep my predator in tip top shape.
No longer do I use adv armor fusor or air compressor. Those days are gone now, low fuel tank.
I will now be using Basic Deflectors, Basic Reconstructor with, Power Surger & Evasive Device.
I'm still testing, but this current build seems to be the best for an aggressive style to predator.

If we assume that we're getting a full 40% buff from both internals, boost + walk speeds go up.
I'll now be saving my stealth to actually walk away from battles when I need to repair than boost.
I will edit my new findings in the guide with due time and will also update the steam guide as well.
Happy huntings fellow predateers!!!

I personally use shock coil, air compressor, and advanced reconstructor.  It works wonders for me!

Hey Lightangel, thanks for making a guide, the community needs one that's up to date. I don't have time of course to read the whole thing because it looks like the wall of text to end all walls of text.

Just make sure you include the most recent patches. With the patch that went out yesterday the Predator can actually speed walk in stalker mode (YUS) and the T32 is actually a solid weapon now. Anyways, great guide and keep up the predator love!

I will expand the guide further. My next update will include different predator builds, their uses and play style if possible. Thanks for your comments bro :).

Great guide Lightangel112 and great feedback from players that love and know how to use the best and funniest mech in game :D.
I am still using my first internal build for predator(advanced reconstructor,deflectors,shock coils) but I saw here many interesting  ideas,wanted a bit to speed it up more,was thinking the same set up as Lightangel mentioned(Basic Deflectors, Basic Reconstructor with, Power Surger & Evasive Device)Will try it tomorrow though.

P.s anyone else experimenting with the T32 as much as I do_i still can't choose if love breacher or T32 more :P I use both,but after the dmg buff on eoc I found the combination destructive :P

Guess who told Light it might be an interesting idea to get those Internals on Predator.

Only time I've used Shock Coils on my Predator was way back when I started using it.

That setup wouldn't be as effective pre-patch as post-patch due to walking speed buffs.
I was using it pre-patch the whole time, except with 2-slot Deflectors.

Air Compressor is for easymode IMHO.
Unless it's on Predator, it's already hard to play. :/

Thanks..
I started to think my contribution to the guide wasn't enough.
Atleast 1/4th of a massive guide not enough.. I was like ''oh give me a break,'' lol.

Using breacher/ T-32, use 2 slot deflectors instead, you will need it. For those using EOC R, use 1 slot deflector + basic recon.

I've written some stuff on 3 different styles last night.
Light'll put some stuff in as well, and after that edit it into the guide today.



KEEP THIS IN MIND:
Just because you use Breacher doesn't mean you can't corner poke.
Just because you use EOC doesn't mean you can't 1v1.


Corner poking is simply better for EOC.
1v1's are simply better for Breacher.

I only described in what they excel in.
That doesn't mean they can't do anything else.

Forgive my ignorance/noobishness, but according to the internals descriptions it states that only "run speed" ( ground speed / walk speed )  is boosted, or_

I made 2 videos of Predator gameplay.
I'm uploading them to YouTube, but it'll take around 440 500 minutes per video. :mellow:

It should be for both walking and boosting. You can quickly check it, where the internals are above the HP bar, when they highlight during either walking or boosting. I'll double check it myself. The descriptions are quite vague imo.
