When you fire your weapon in stealth mode the screen changes, but it doesn't change to the normal screen. 

What happens when you fire?

You uncloak temporarily. If you take no damage, you will recloak in 2sec.
Same as if you boost, dodge, hover. Any heat-gen and you temp uncloak.
Any damage taken and you go uncloak and ability goes into cooldown.

Do you find the predator more of a novelty Mech?
I'm not sure about it yet.
How much damage does the Breacher gun do at max charge? Actually I'm wondering what combination of weapons/items can be used to provide the most damage?

Pred is very capable if you are suited to it.

I first got it when i was a new player as I though my issue was that everyone seemed to always know where i was and kill me quickly. The predator didn't solve much. 

 

If you want to alpha strike then Eoc and Det give a good sucker punch on a fairly stationary target. Eoc is good for denial in choke points but tough to land on flying targets. Laying ambushes can be satisfying when they smakdown a mech that wasn't expecting it.

 

Breacher is considered one of the best weapons as it can hand a good chunk of damage at range (120?) and the flak can do a little more up close if all the shards hit. It used to be fun to glitch the breacher onto other mechs.

I did the same thing; like the cloaking part a lot.  Then I found out I like to hunt the really good player (red skulls), smack and run, recloak after cool down and find him again.  Don't fight the Predator much but always find it fun when I do.  Just have to be ready to die when you can't get away.  Thanks for the assessment of weapons.  I have not found my optimal mix yet; this helped.

the predator is a good dueling mech - very powerful in 1v1 situations. the cloak ability doesn't fully cloak you, but the wallhacks it gives you could be considered a boon.

 

breacher pred does a LOT of damage when done right.

...and charged Breacher punches through shields. dont forget that.

Fun when someone with low health drops a shield to repair in.

So safe, so protected... Ka-Boom!

 

I have a Pred build with 3 shields and an EMP.

Drop shield and charged-breacher them through it, when they come through to get you... EMP   :D

The LOLz.

Did they ever change that thing where you could actively boost the Breacher DPS? That was the Breacher, right? Pred was never a mech I played..
