3v9 Hunt Mode

Game Mode Proposal: “Trial of Nine” – 3 Predators vs 9 Fireteam

🔥 Overview:

Introducing a new large-scale mode for Predator: Hunting Grounds — 3 Yautja players hunting down 9 Fireteam players in a high-stakes, high-tension survival scenario.
Inspired by Predators (2010), AVP, and classic clan hunts from the lore.


⚔️ Mode Name:

Trial of Nine (or “Clan Hunt” / “Rite of the Hunt”)


📜 Lore Justification:

A Yautja clan initiates a ritual hunt on Earth, targeting a large elite military force. Each Predator competes not only to eliminate human prey, but also to prove their worth among fellow hunters. The jungle becomes a battleground for dominance, survival, and honor.


👥 Player Count:

3 Predator Players (coordinated or independent)

9 Fireteam Players (divided into 3 squads or free teamplay)


🧠 Core Gameplay Concepts:

🔺 Predators:

Each Predator has a full loadout (gear, perks, weapons).

Optional clan roles:

Hunter – balanced tracker with caster

Berserker – close-combat tank

Stalker – ranged assassin with bow or disc

Team synergy optional: players can work together or compete for trophies.

Shared XP, but bonus trophies = MVP of the hunt.

Possible revive limit (1 revive per Predator).

🔻 Fireteam:

9 players, optionally divided into squads of 3 (auto-voice channels per group).

Larger objective zones: sabotage, intel retrieval, prisoner rescue, etc.

Limited medkits, more scattered ammo.

No respawns unless a reinforcement is triggered early.


🗺 Map Adjustments:

Expanded versions of existing maps or new large-scale maps (multi-biome: jungle + ruins + caves).

Dynamic weather: rain, fog, night.

Additional verticality and hiding spots for both sides.

New exfiltration logic: multiple evac zones, unpredictable spawns.


🧩 New Mechanics (Optional):

Clan Scoreboard: Which Predator earns the most kills/trophies.

Squad Marking System for Fireteam: colored teams (Blue, Red, Green).

Predator Ritual Objective: bonus XP for collecting trophies from different classes (Recon, Assault, Support, etc.).


🎯 Why This Works:

Breaks the 1v4 monotony with fresh, team-based Predator gameplay.

Encourages Predator cooperation or rivalry — both lore-accurate and exciting.

Offers epic-scale hunts while maintaining balance.

Brings in new strategic layers for both sides: flanking, ambushes, squad coordination.

Great fit for new-gen hardware (PS5, Series X|S, modern PCs).


✍️ Community Appeal:

The Predator community has long wanted:

Predator co-op modes.

Larger scale hunts.

More fireteam variety.

Clan-style gameplay from the films.

This mode delivers all of that.


Would love to see IllFonic consider testing this as a limited-time mode, or even a permanent addition. It would give Predator: Hunting Grounds a second wind — and finally let players hunt together.
