July’s free update to Predator: Hunting Grounds is here! It seems the majority of the new content is in the way of new customization content. For the Fireteam we’ve got gun shaders and outfit camo.
But the Predators are getting some love with new skin shaders and last month’s early access Samurai Katana and shaders. Not only that, the Alpha Predator class is now free to all players who have hit level 100!
There are over thirty items coming in the free update; New Fireteam Gun Shaders, a Fireteam Outfit Camo, and vibrant Predator Skin Pattern tints make up the majority of the drop.* We are also extremely excited to announce the long-awaited worldwide release of the Alpha Predator and Sickle! Both the Alpha Predator Class and the Sickle can be earned by reaching level 100. And I don’t want to forget, but this update also means that everyone can now earn the Predator Katana and Shaders for use.
July’s paid DLC has also been announced. Predator 2 fans, it’s time to rejoice as City Hunter is about to enter the Hunting Grounds, complete with combistick and his wrist rocket!
I am also thrilled to share with you that coming later this month is the third paid DLC. We heard a lot of people in the community ask about this specific Predator since we announced the title last year. We are bringing the City Hunter class to Predator: Hunting Grounds! The City Hunter will come with his classic Combistick and Wrist Launcher for hunting down Fireteams. You will be able to add the City Hunter to your Predator classes and play as the iconic character on July 28.
The new blog post also addressed the lack of new maps or game modes – which have been datamined – and reaffirmed that they are on the way.
We have seen some folks in the community wondering about the new map and mode; rest assured they are still in the roadmap, we just haven’t released the dates yet. We will be sharing more information soon. Until then, I will see you in the jungle!
While the new update is mainly a content drop, it does also feature some minor patching.
- General stability fixes
- Implemented EOS invite support
- Fixed crashes related to executions
- Fixed crash related to swapping weapons
- Fixed an issue where the AI would sometimes not be able to detect crouched players that were right in front of them

Wrist launcher is a gear piece and it's locked in for City Hunter.

If it is wrong I don't doubt they'd change it later since they fixed Jungle Hunter.

This one is easy.
"Mommy, I saw a ghost!"
Alpha P. is not paid DLC. He is unlockable at level 100 or with a NA exclusive code for PS4 which is a bonus included in the first limited batch of Neca's Alpha P. figurine.
JH helmet can be unlocked through Field Lockers.
And P. Elder has the JH helmet too.
There was a weird pixelation especially in certain lighting that made it look like an older gen game at times. And the frame rate often was rough too for many. But all of it was pretty much fixed somewhere around the second update, thankfully.
Those people do not have a grasp of what standard PS4 hardware (the lowest common denominator) is capable. The game is build on UE4 engine which is not optimized like first party dedicated engines. Also foliage dense environment looks worse in low resolutions in comparison to blocky environment. Especially in movement. PS4 version of the game initially used FXAA post processing which was too blurry but they changed it into TXAA a month later.
I have it on PC and on high settings I think it looks great, perfectly serviceable.
Does it look significantly worse on Playstation? I have not played it on Playstation. What specifically about this game does not look good to people?
😂😂😂😂
If you were faster with your review, I could save some dough.

Quick!!! Someone tell me if I should thank god for my Predator refund!

I think a lot of it has to do with import/export fees now as well.
Yes, to hell with inflation!
https://i.gifer.com/VqTN.gif
£15?! Those really were the days! Buying a NECA figure and still having change left over from a £20 note is something we can only dream of today!
Yeah the details have definitely improved a lot over the years. And with their move to giving a lot more of their figures the Ultimate treatment with extra accessories and stuff it's hard to complain too much.
Except about inflation. To hell with inflation. Making everything more expensive than it used to be. Just keep putting everyone's wages up and that's it! That way we all get more stuff! It's win-win!
I remember picking up the first wave of Requiem figures for £15 each!
I bought the new predator skins patterns straight away. Those lockers are RNG madness.
Oh cry me a river!! I've seen your trophy wall!!

It's also worth noting that the Predator 2 Spear is refereed as "The Classic Combistick", and not as "Classic skin for Combistick", which means it will be like the knifes, being a different model that takes a weapon slot and is the same except in looks
So it's the consumers fault for not following @Illfonic? That's a hard sell for me. The Alpha figure, code and its ability to "unlock" the class got a lot of press. The later vague tweet didn't. We'll have to agree to disagree.
