Pigs not on the menu boys

1 Pig on map....second wind 3 times, target isolation many times but no freaken pigs
This happened in 3 games now…no boars on target isolation. I searched map, nothing.
There were boars at the beginning of the game…but for the rest of the game, NOTHING!
I don’t take med kit but now I might have too which is not great as I like to run with trap and motion detector as a scout.

Yep, happened to me too multiple times, only rarley now in this new patch, but holy crap in 1.06 every second or third match was a match without multiple pigs, like one or two max…

I remember at launch there weren’t many pigs on the map…but this is insane, I mean nothing, not a piggy. Multiple - I mean multiple - target isolation and no little piggy in these danm woods.

Working hypothesis: Pigs don’t spawn for a certain amount of time in each area. And the areas have boundaries of sorts so if you step out and in it resets the timer

You were too far from the fireteam. Pigs are within vicinity of FT at certain spots, or behind them wherever they sprinted from. Anything outside of that is a gamble. If you run really far or to the wrong side of the compound chances are you’re not going to find pigs ever because they rarely spawn on the pred.
Honestly seems like they’re spawned per player which is why you get 5 in one place when the FT is stalled at a compound for a few minutes.

There is just a bug when pigs dissapear from their positions
That’s an interesting theory. The up-till-now working theory was that they spawn where the Predator had just been.
But yours feels right too.
So confusing, I’m going to do some boar spotting today.
I had a similar situation, then checked mini map and there you go - FT killed all the pigs for me, so I could not see them in target isolation scan XD
I thought killing pigs as FT only leaves them for the pRedator to take because they don’t spawn out or dissapear and are still interactable. But it would make sense for them to dissapear after a give amount of time. can anyone confirm?
Finding they spawn near fireteam in the first 2 phases. Even if I wanna run away from FT.
I have to risk eating a pig close to them even if heavily damaged.
If its exfil time the pigs seem to dissapear.
Surprised they dont have dedicated walking patterns similar to the AI and have a set amount of pigs that spawn in
Just my observation

Maybe after each mission is done, if the pig is dead it resets?
Or they stay dead.
I’m all for whatever lolz
Oh, no, the pighs were still on map interactible, I just colud not see them with the scan, so had to use the mini map to get to them
just had another pigless match. Its game over for PREDs when it happens.
Illfonic doenst seem to care.

That’s definitely the intention looking at the spawns tbh. That or they just didn’t consider the fireteam getting stalled in one area for five minutes.

Claiming a match is pigless is a tough claim. Since target scan has such a long cool down and pigs are tough to spot on a whim. And usually I can’t afford to look for them bc that’s a waste of time
I have noticed that if you pin the FT to an area there’s plenty of pigs there after a minute or 2.
I’d assume it’s deliberate mechanics (be nice if any of the mechanics were documented), considering it’s a full health reboost. You want the health you take the risk.

it’s also not generally that much of a risk, skirt the area agro an AI to go for alarm, kill and eat the pig.
Even an uber scout is going to struggle with 10 AI on them.
