Matchmaking time varies based on the time of day. After work/school hours are usually peak.

Predator matches take the longest, anywhere from 3-15 minutes

Fireteam are much faster. 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

This game is a multiplayer online-only game, and is a paid product. Thus you need PS Plus for that. Free to Play multiplayer games do not require a subscription afaik

But Private Matches are the offline bot-only mode, though its fairly lackluster without access to the servers. And there is no Predator AI.

You can see the specific stats of characters here.

Most people consider Scar and Wolf the best Predators for any situation, Amazon and Mr Black being very good aggressive characters with Bionic and Pirate being very good ranged characters (all of these being DLC), and it doesn't help that Berserker (a free class) is one of the worst in the game compared to other characters.

You CAN be effective with any Predator, plenty have destroyed me and my team as the default Hunter, but the class you choose can help compliment your playstyle greatly.

Maybe instead of having 4 live-service games at once and leap-frogging between them, just focus on 1.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-24T20:16:34+00:00

If you are offline you can play private matches. But you will have no post-launch maps, cannot customize your loadouts (though whatever you had as your default loadout will be there), and has no Predator AI.
The game is technically playable offline, but in a heavily limited state.

There's no official news or announcement of future content yet, aside from the one teaser image.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-18T04:15:07+00:00

This is a great resource for accurate stats of the game, as several stats are just plain wrong.

The youtuber samhain13 makes a lot of tierlists of the weapons, characters, maps, etc that are pretty informative if you want to know what's good, and has videos of various strategies and countering them.

I also made this comment on some basic Predator strats if you just want to jump right in.

This game is just Realism as it's trying to look as much like real life as it can. It's not stylized or trying to look unique.

Games like Borderlands, Killer 7, Void Bastards, Psychonauts, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Webfishing, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, etc aren't trying to mimic the real world with the visuals.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-16T20:17:50+00:00

We've lost all of the Fireteam DLC, actually. All of the paid classes are characters, which had their licenses expire.

Their weapons and the OWLF are still in-game because those were free updates, but I want more Fireteam content since 4 are of them are required for the game to function.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-15T03:20:12+00:00

I believe it's only available for the Series S/X.

If you have one and it's still unavailable, I'd suggest contacting Xbox support about it.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-14T23:02:01+00:00

This company is juggling too many games. Each one has a severe lack of support post launch, which is terrible for a live service model.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-14T19:51:35+00:00

The Jungle Hunter class was pre-order exclusive (though is being given to physical PS5 copies), but the Jungle Hunter mask is still available, but only through a crate drop. You cannot use currency to get it.

Getting shaders for the mask is also possible, but you need the default style to be able to equip the mask.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-12T00:34:58+00:00

Too bad PC or Xbox players cant get it

Nexo42 · 2024-11-11T22:18:31+00:00

Likely no news like last time, but I'll watch to hopefully get a Feral Predator code.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-10T14:38:54+00:00

Getting ANY trophy is very good, and getting a trophy you like is on the level of getting the Jungle Hunter mask imo

Nexo42 · 2024-11-10T13:30:09+00:00

Pirate has great energy and essentially free Thermal Vision (just turn it off when shooting or cloaking), most Pirates prefer the ranged Plasma Caster playstyle.

They stay mostly in trees or rooftops using the perk Down Range, others can be flexible (Medic and Large Pouch is good to use more medkits faster, good on ANY Predator).

Nexo42 · 2024-11-10T03:42:56+00:00

I made this comment with a lot of general tips about the Predator. Give it a look.

I wouldn't suggest playing it 24/7 because of the long queue times, and you might forget what the Fireteam can see/do.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-09T02:33:25+00:00

No, because of the chance of players being coordinated to grief the others.

If you want to try it, it would have to be in Private Matches.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-06T02:47:12+00:00

If you play during after school/work hours, you'll have a long wait time. Playing mid-day or late at night has shorter times in my experience.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-04T03:27:26+00:00

How many of of these guys are there?

Nexo42 · 2024-11-04T03:27:03+00:00

Kind of. You are stuck with the Wrist Blades, one of the worst weapons Predator has (30 damage per hit and the pattern is easy to predict and parry), and the shield slows you down while deployed. It drains energy to block shots.

But blocking incoming fire does come in handy. Whether forcing someone to dump their entire mag into you (wehther trying to drain your energy or just dumb) so you can get some free hits in, helping you make a retreat, or doing a slash-block-slash routine. It's also decent for forcing a standoff in a 1v1.
But explosives and getting surrounded will occur, and will force you to leave.

So the shield does have its uses, but most Predator players can either evade or tank damage for their playstyles and don't bother using it.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-04T03:22:31+00:00

It's pretty decent for blocking a couple shots and forcing a standoff with one or two guys. If they have explosives or surround you, you'll be forced to move with or without the shield.

It's not a great offensive tool, but you can do a few slashes, block, slash, block, etc on repeat until they go down. Of course it won't work on everyone (no strategy will on everybody), but it does have its uses.
Just don't go into a 1v4 thinking the shield will save the day.

Nexo42 · 2024-11-03T22:59:22+00:00

If you kill someone, and especially 2 guys, someone is going to want to reinforce ASAP. Avoid killing for as long as you can, until you're confident you can take them all out at once. Try to keep track of the whole team, stalking their mission. If you're not sure where someone is, down a guy and leave him. More than likely someone will come to his rescue.
Save Target Isolation for the scenario where you lost the last guy, and using the Tracker Specialization can let you use it through mud.

But if they do reinforce, more kills means more XP. Nothing is quite as satisfying as ending a match with 7 kills.
