I honestly have not seen one Predator challenge yet.
Challenges FT only?

Imagine the queue time if there was pred challenges

Is that why they focus on FT? To get more players playing as them? Seems odd to exclude the Predator though
It’s only to counter high que times nothing else sadly

There was one Predator Weekly the third or so week after the system was introduced. The Queue times for Predator jumped tenfold. It was promptly switched to a FT Weekly after a day.

It’s because when they tried to add a Predator challenge, the queue times doubled. You were waiting 7-8 minutes for a single match instead of 3-4.
Honestly, the que times kinda ruined being predator for me. Not that I don’t think it’s cool being Preddy, but I hate waiting and I don’t like playing the tutorial all day just to get a feel for playing the predator. So I ended up playing FT All day everyday since I got it and have pretty much learned it like it to the point where it’s a thrill to kill predators… And kind of scary/exciting getting chased by one and then making it out of alive. It sucks that when you get your skulln spine ripped out tho lol
I feel a way to remedy the situation would be to create both Fireteam Missions, and Predator missions, but that the Pred Missions can only be obtained to be completed after Fireteam Missions have already been done for a whole lot of VT. Promotes diversity in gameplay as well as activity.
Right now, there is no way to introduce challenges for the predator since that will lead to an increase in queue times. To incentivize the FT, they offer us players more veritanium and challenges. Most asymmetrical multiplayer games suffer from this issue more or less. I think @illfonic needs to expand the game more and create more complex game mechanics. I’m not necessarily talking about in-game mechanics, but it would not hurt to look into the bloodpoints system from Dead by Daylight. You get them as an additional reward depending on how well you played, and based on it; you improve your class with it. You can also acquire consumables that modify the next match from which you can pick one. I think it is an excellent mechanic for the in-game currency because you level up your class with it as well.
TLDR: Queue times would increase if the Predator would receive challenges. Suggestions for other game mechanics.
It’s the only way atm.
I would suggest slightly increasing the amount of VT obtained by winning with “fireteam eliminated” as the Predator, to even it out a bit.
idk man, I’m getting ~2k veritanium every match as predator, even got 5.5k once

I’d like more challenges for ft other than just two… pred que times are outrageos last few days…
Something needs to be implemented to want to strive ton play ft more, two challenges is nothing… i like thats its implemented but still not enough
Same, I love playing predator, but due to the long que up times, I’ve gotten used to playing as fireteam, and only get to play as predator in private matches with my friends.

When they 1st introduced the challenges the Second weekly was a Pred challenge at first for like 12 hours the quee times jump to like 36 mins on average for everyone thats insane
Yea I guess that all makes sense. Just sucks though, trying to earn more VT with pred vs FT.
