Depends on my mood.

I like to pick away at an enemy from afar then dodge back behind cover.

They'll either boost my way to try and find me, or run off somewhere to repair.

So now they're either away from their team and distracted or helpless so I can alpha strike

I say gren-gren or incin are better for relaxing. Spam incin, no spam gren-gren. Just wait for them to dodge and GL to the face and when they run, calculate trajectory so that the last thing they see is grenade in their face.

How does that work_ The Predator is somewhat difficult to use effectively against good opponents.

I didn't point that out cuz maybe he meant the the would just hang back and relax and kill the mechs that come to heal.

Seriously flying is the new trend these days. EVERYBODY hovers. Makes them easy prey for my reaper :)

I use the Predator to silently stalk prey, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, mercilessly killing a prime target before disappearing into the ether, readying my next attack.

*smirk* I can't even type that with a straight face. Normally when I use the pred, It's because my team is stomping and I think the opposition could use some help.
On second thought let's not go to #hawkenscrim. Tis a silly place.
Watch me pretend to be good at Hawken (Twitch).
...And recordings thereof (Youtube)

Unlearn all that you have learned. Sacrifice your Assault at the altar of Scrub. Turn up your volume and breathe softly as you activate stalker mode. Only then will you find the path to enlightenment.

The path to enlightenment looks like this.

When you start playing predator seriously
Posted Image


When you ditch predator for whatever is your true calling
Posted Image


If you ignore the path to enlightenment and just play technician instead and manage to believe you're awesome

You can just sort of hang out and observe, it's relaxing.

Oh, I see. That's an apt analogy. I do find myself pulling off some crazy things with relative ease when I pull my Raider. :P

Hey! I remember that game! I also remember marveling at just how hideous your Predator is. I also remember facepalming after you killed me. Overextending, all that.

idk why they were all on the ground for that 4k.
I just put that in reply to him because it was prettty random that twentyfirstpilot was 1st person to walk by me, and he was kill number 2 in a very chill encounter.
Pred is super mellow for me becuase it allows you a large space to breathe between engagements.
It's like being underwater. Maybe its the sound muffling in conjunction with the nearly negative color shift into x-ray mode. Very atmospheric.

Pred had been sitting in my garage for a long time before today. After using it for the first time, I find that I use it to wreck people in DM.
