Four New Masks Added to Predator: Hunting Grounds!

Following the release of the latest Hunting Party DLC Pack 2 for Predator: Hunting Grounds, a hotfix (Patch 2.45) was deployed a couple days back. There wasn’t anything beyond some minor fixes detailed in the Patch notes, but it was discovered that four new Predator masks were added as part of the patch. Oddly they’re nowhere to be mentioned in the patch notes, and some minor balance tweaks were also omitted. Check out the images of the new masks below.

The masks are added are called Relic, Spider, Detox, and Sempi. Relic is a half mask covering the lower part of the Predator’s face, while Detox has a kind of eerie gas mask vibe. Spider seems reminiscent of a ‘Bionicle’ design. Sempi is actually Scar’s mask from the original AVP film. 

These masks were originally discovered in a datamine back in summer 2021. There’s also been leaked evidence of another original class, Tank, as well as the Tracker Predator from Predators. Given the lack of new content beyond Predator classes and occasional mask drops, it would seem the game is nearing the end of its support. 

Predator: Hunting Grounds remains active though, and we had no trouble finding games with other players during our livestream last weekend. If you still haven’t gotten around to playing, the game is currently on sale for a significant discount on PlayStation, Steam, and the Epic Games Store until the end of the month.

    Quote from: RoguePred1987 on Nov 19, 2024, 05:52:03 AMnice timing with Gladiator II coming out too.

    the trailer is up for preordering Hunting Grounds on PS5 for physical. the trailer itself includes Feral but then lists the 10 exclusive Predators for the physical release with Feral not among them just like the preorder listings on various sites. I'm assuming now that Feral is just built into the game period, with the 10 exclusives being exactly that. But I guess we'll see.

    The only thing I hope from this is a original Predator character that hails from the Blood Ring and NOT just armor based on the gladiators from Rome. A nice little expansion on The Blood Ring would be nice.

    Quote from: CANNON on Nov 09, 2024, 07:30:52 PMJungle hunter will unfortunately remain as an PS exclusive and for as you mentioned, people who missed the initial preorder during the launch of the game will now have an opportunity to get him again with the physical PlayStation Preorder.

    Also, the physical release preorder is only for PS at this time.

    It is also on pc for those that preordered it back then.

    Right thanks for adding that, I forgot about that.

    I don't know if this has been posted yet, but the updated physical edition of Hunting Grounds is up for preorder on various sites. There's no mention of Feral but Jungle Hunter is among the 10, film specific, Predators listed as being included.

    Wasn't Jungle Hunter a preorder bonus only for the original release? And the fact that only film specific Predators are listed, with no mention of Feral, as being included is interesting.

    Would it? The AVP and AVP2 showed no real issues on having a red vision mode. I just think there would be a visual limit on spotting their thermal signature after a few yards but can see their environment is fine.

    I always thought that one was the darkest vision hardest to see anything besides the aliens

    From what I remember, I feel the same way. Was playable but I remember it being dark.

    That's odd. Perhaps at that time, your settings were off? Not enough brightness and contrast?

    Plus it also depends the kind of shade or tint of red we talking here. Some kind of mid-light red could help if its too much trouble. But least for me, I had no such problems.

    AvP1 & 2's red vision mode is very detailed, and the Aliens stand out very well. Perhaps it was just the jungle setting, but I don't recall the environment being particularly clear in film.

    You are absolutely right in the original 87 film, Preds natural vision is extremely difficult to see, it's like a monochromatic with no contrast red. Id imagine that lack of clarity was probably due to the special effects at the time of filming and not a purposeful choice.

    Quote from: (Bad Blood) on Mar 20, 2024, 09:49:03 AMMaybe she didn't remember they can't see anything because of their rather poor vision so would require things to be highly noticeable while flying? Lol
    You know what....that didn't eve occur to me either lol! Its just another detail that is shamefully forgotten in later media. Funny how OWLF studied Predator corpses but never found out of their poor eyesight or researching their brains to determine their mental capabilities. We see this all the time in other sciences of other creatures to even MRI scans in dinosaur skulls to determine their brain size and intelligence.

    Actually, thinking about it even more, it makes me review the final fight between Naru and Feral with more context now, seeing how there was movements he missed Naru doing as he had no mask in the fight. Like no wonder he struggled even more than people think he did. Predators are short sighted beings without their masks. I recall that in the final fight, the red vision has less details far away compared to their masked blue thermal vision where details is more defined and sharp. Thanks for that point!
    It is so very often left out, overlooked, or even considered. They are basically near blind without their masks. Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself. Feral was at an extreme disadvantage against Naru.

    He had his Brian's blown out so he had trouble thinking. Basically blind to her movements, heavy damage from prior fights. Exactly. Oh you are most welcome!

    Quote from: Wweyland on Mar 20, 2024, 08:31:39 AMI would say it is, with the endorsement by Arnold, featuring Keyes, Isabella, and everything.
    It's been quite cohesive in bringing the lore together.
    That's my thoughts as well. I saw a page from Illfonic getting go ahead from Fox. Able add a little to the lore with the game and it would be canon, so it must be. I don't think it went out of bounds with anything.
     
    Though the only criticism I would say is the Isabelle tapes, mentioning she and the science team hypothesized that predators were "not very smart" due to how they had their equipment interface set up. In the end though, it's simply her opinion and she knows very little about them as a race outside of a few Bad Blood encounters. Maybe she didn't remember they can't see anything because of their rather poor vision so would require things to be highly noticeable while flying? Lol
    We are yet to see a smart Predator who survives a movie. Wolf came close (in the game he survived).
    To be fair we have yet to see any creature from any film survive. Aliens, gremlins, critters, predators, etc. It's unfortunately never going to change as long as humans are in the story. However in the comics they survived quite often. There are even more than a few recurring predators.

     Also technically all of the predators at the end of Predator 2 would be surviving predators from hunts and an elder who very much has survived countless encounters. Also to note, at least 30 people die in every film besides the first movie before a single predator goes down and they have a far greater understanding of advanced technology as well as our own even in the films. The ones that do die, they typically fall to hubris and not a severe lack of intelligence.

    I wish the devs had finalized the Offline Bots when playing the Predator. The team just heads towards your location and stands under your tree of your in one or just runs right into you and fires. You basically can't hunt them at all which defeats the purpose a bit. Oh well. Also question, is this game official canon or no?

    Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Sep 30, 2023, 08:56:03 AMA game about a Predator going up the rank by a hunting down hard prey on different planets and have a gameplay similar to monster Hunter would be absolutely perfect.
    That's quite ambitious, it could also work as an Assassin's Creed kind of game, and even be set in the past.
    I just disagree that it is ambitious, I think it's quite safe, Predator it's always about hunting down the strongest creatures to gain honor to their clan.


    On second thought being on different planets yeah that might be a bit of a stress I do agree, so how about Hunting down dinosaurs?
    I guess I meant more in terms of budget/development time.
    Oh, yeah it would take a long time and cost a "few bucks"
    But it would be worth it!
    I don't know but I would like to think so, however I don't want this to be another cyberpunk because if it does it won't be worth it

    Quote from: SuperiorIronman on Aug 24, 2023, 11:06:51 PMIt's been over for awhile and while we don't know the exact reason (Tank was in the pipeline and his model was finished) it's doubtful we'd know specifically as to why unless someone speaks up or the contracts run out.
    I know that it's been over now, but huge issue is that in both Reddit, the official Forums, and Twitter, they claim that Predator is part of thier main games that they will continue to support but obviously from what we are seeing here, that was a lie.

    Maybe sometime in the future they might try to do some changes again but at that point everyone will forget the game even exist so it's just pointless now.
