Offline bots implemented for the more casual players/people who want to practice tactics. Make it where you can search for a game while killing bots, also if the FT disconnects they get replaced by bots. I know it isn’t a new idea, but curious what the frequent posters here think of it

I’m in favor of that. Kinda like the 1st battlefront on ps4, you played as darth vader on Hoth, killing rebels until the game updated.

Ive always been a proponent of them doing the opposite and removing private match rewards (at least when playing solo).
This game already has quite a small playerbase in the grand scheme of things (and is probably dwindling). We need all hands on deck when it comes to the matchmaking to keep this game going till we get some changes that will breathe life back into it.
That being said, Im all for it down the line.

I’m almost certain something like this is coming down the road.

Without a doubt this should be an afterthought after they rework a ton of the game breaking bugs, and overall gameplay switches you’ve mentioned in your posts are made.
Definitely the offline mode should be little to no xp rewarded as it should be used as a casual/practice mode

Offline in my opinion should have been in the game from the beginning, regardless of the game being online only, you know people are gonna ask for an offline mode. Plus there are people who don’t wanna wait in the lobby times so atleast that will give them a chance to play more with all the negativity from players who “care more” about winning all the time.

Private mode allows you to just kill AI bots. By going solo in Private mode, but you still need an internet connection to run the game because it stores how much V or XP you got.
Ai would need a complete re work. Pred would lose alot

Wish there was a damage difference when you loaded in solo as Pred. The AI would need a little bit more work, but if they did double damage and sent more reinforcement waves when you loaded in by yourself, that would be cool!
Thanks for reviving this thread btw

They are really just canon fodder…but i’d like AI to have a dodge and weave or tumble mechanic.

This makes perfect sense to me, especially considering Friday the 13th had Solo Matches that had the same idea in mind.
I haven’t touched Hunting Grounds since the new Map and Mode dropped. It’s not that I dislike Hunting Grounds… I love this Game. But with our only Options being Online for either Predator or Fireteams, or Online as a Team in Clash, I haven’t had much incentive to play.
More Options in general would be hugely welcome and something that resembles Offline/Bots would be awesome.

Ooooo! I like that idea! A roll mechanic for Predator would mix up the bunny hoppers I think, and would be nice for dodging gunfire that actually did damage (hoping for AI buff still)
I sometimes just load in a solo game and practice my death frisbee throwin on them anyways for some funs
I log in every now and then and throw myself into some FT matches until I pick up the balls to wait in the Pred queue. But with them being so long, the pressure always feels like it’s on because NO ONE wants to be kicked back to the queue after a mistake in your hunt. Getting to practice while waiting or something would be neato
Clash gives you some practice, IMHO, when i’m jonesing for predator play, ill play clash.

Story mode over bots

I’m with you 100% really. The tutorial mode has some sort of objectives that pop up, similar to the way the “chopper called” banner is. Going from camp to camp to kill VIP guys that are protected would be a start maybe
Ah yes!! Tougher AI! Harder to kill, while dishing out more damage! We’re on to something 😂
Not too tough i hope. LOL! I dont want to throw my controller because they are harder to kill than the PRed!
Just new movements to make them appear more life like.
With the last update if you press pause in private matches the game actually pauses itself now. I know that this might be a stupid thing to look at but I don’t wanna generate any hype of any kind though, however I think some sort of offline mode is coming sooner than we think. There wouldn’t be any sense on adding such feature (actually pausing the game) in an online game otherwise.
