Predator: Hunting Grounds Patch 2.01 Now Availble!

Predator: Hunting Grounds 2.01 patch is now available (for the most part!) 2 of the 3 parts of the update are now available for download, with the 3rd part containing crossplay invites “coming later”. I wont share all the patch notes below as there’s been a lot of tweaking, and a lot of skins in the free content update, but here are some of the bigger updates.

General

• Implemented PlayGo to allow playing of the tutorial while downloading the rest of the game
• Perks and Gear that cannot be equipped due to weight/point limits are now greyed out
• Added the option to report a player during the After Action Report
• Added tips and tricks to loading screens
• Fixed an issue where certain destructible objects were not showing properly

Fireteam

• [NEW] Last Man Standing
  • Now, the last Fireteam player will enter a Last Man Standing state, which will buff the player’s stats and give them more of a fighting chance. This will last as long as they are the last standing player. While affected by Last Man Standing, the last Fireteam player will also have increased body heat visibility to the Predator player.
• Increased Fireteam damage taken from AI
• The spotting icon’s color is now based on the player’s callsign colors
• Remote interactions now show progress properly
• Spotting icons now clear when the spotted item is depleted
• Lowered damage reduction from equipping a pistol Suppressor
• Fixed an issue where the Fireteam run animation was not playing properly while holding a Medical Kit
• Fixed an issue where different Fireteam classes were receiving slightly different amounts of damage from different damage sources

August’s free content update also brings a bunch of new toys for the Fireteam to play with, as well as City Hunter’s combistick and Wrist Launcher.
