All of this is stuff I’ve been experiencing since the new update on the PS4 version of the game. I’m keeping this as formal as possible, also it’s a love letter to Illfonic because I do really love this game and the franchise for the most part. Since I mainly play as Fireteam I can’t vouch for any Predator glitches, so I’m sorry if others have issues while playing as the Predator.
Bug 1: Decreased Enemy Spawning
- Something I’ve noticed recently when at the exfil or during some defending point missions is enemies don’t spawn as often, or at all. I can sit there the entire time and enemies will not attack me at all, the map doesn’t even light up showing incoming enemies. It seems enemies have stopped spawning at these points in the game making the game a little more stale.
Bug 2: Audio Recordings won’t unlock
- At this point since the update I’ve collected around 15-20 audio logs. It’s notified me that I’ve done so, but only 4 of the new recordings have unlocked. This is rather annoying because regardless if it’s private match or quick play, gathering just one recording takes the amount of time of your average game. It’s very time consuming, and it’s very upsetting to have collected the recording for it to not unlock. (This seems to have been fixed and now I’ve collected all of them)
Bug 3: Unattainable Veritanium
- This is a problem I’ve faced even before but I’m going to talk about it now because on the new map it’s just as evident. Several pieces of Veritanium can not be picked up on the map Headquarters in places like the Boat Store, and the Tree Huts. Veritanium is placed under beds and tables, which while some are just far out enough to grab others are not. It makes me feel like I’m being teased with something just out of my reach. I’ve also encountered this issue on Excavation with a piece of Veritanium near the elevator button in the caves under the head statue. Also there’s some Veritanium that float in various spots on Headquarters.
Bug 4: Model Sizes for items in Loot Lockers.
- This is another one that’s been around for awhile but it’s again more evident after the update. Predator models will sometimes be much larger than they’re supposed to be. Before the update it would just show the feet of the Predator while the rest is offscreen. Now it shows the Predator model phasing through the table it’s supposed to be standing in a bigger size. The battle axe weapon also has some problems it seems because every time I unlock a shader the weapon seems incredibly small compared to the other weapons and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not but I think it is.
Bug 5: Invisible Object on Headquarters?
- While I was playing a little bit ago and crossing a river going away from the main base headed north of the map, I noticed I wasn’t able to move to shore across in this particular spot. I don’t have an image or video of the moment but I jumped over it and landed on nothing making it seem like I was hovering over the ground. I’m sure there’s supposed to be some sort of crate there, but it didn’t show on my screen.
Bug 6: Isabelle Stubbed her Toe?
- This one made me laugh hard when it happened. She’ll scream from the smallest falls which don’t give any damage as if she has been brutally murdered. (Or she stubbed her toe) Jokes aside while as funny as it is, it’s unnecessary.
Bug 7: Dutch Tapes Arranged Incorrectly
- The Dutch tapes seem to be wrongly placed now. Meaning they’re no longer in order.
These are the issues I’ve had since playing after the new update. I’m sure others have issues but these are mine. Again I haven’t played as Predator much since the update so I can’t say anything about it.
