if he explodes then its less than if he does explode. Technically you get extra V for disarming I believe and its extra 200V (somewhere around here)
Extra 200V Disarming
Extra XP for securing a fully green body (1400 XP shows up next to the giant predator icon in the AAR)
Little XP for securing a body completely in red (200 XP )
Someone needs to verify becuase I dont know the specific numbers.

It counts as a W for pred.

On the basis, the game says it in the gameplay rules.

AND

You are a spec ops team expected to go in and out quietly so, a bomb going off covering 3 city blocks in the middle of the pacific, cause you (TALKING ANY FT) wanted to ā€œkill the predatorā€ without a defuse, doesnā€™t look so great on OWLF and means they have been compromised = L for FT.

Anyone saying anything else just suck at taking Ls lol

The fact that a Predator explosion counts as a ā€˜Wā€™ for the Predator is a major mis-leading data point for match results, imo. I have played on a lot of teams that we will destroy the Predator easily but will let him blow-up - if Illfonic is taking these matches into account and chalking them up as a W for Pred, it can be super mis-leading on what balance(s) should be implemented into the game.

A loss, tie at most. Just extra flair bonus after your hp hits zero.

Pred can sit in a corner and plasma caster himself and hit the detonate button out of reach at the start of the game and only contrarians would classify this is an win in any game ever lol.

imagine we get a letter grading like in MGS5? Like C class or something for letting too many explode. That would make lots of players bitter.

It does bot count as a win. If vourse thats based off the dev challenges ratger than the devs themselves

#9

Its just loreshit about honor and doesnt pertain to gameplay at all.

But challenges are stupid too and securing pred body doesnt count as exfil.

#10

so developers suck at creating basic rules for their game xD

#11

As predator, I only consider it a win if I eliminate fire team, or take them all out with me with a detonation.

A half win if I get 4 killed but they had revived some, so not all 7 eliminated.
A half win if I get double XP as any one of the FT.

Everything else is a loss.

Rubs hands together

Fireteam GOALS (under extras)
Fireteam voodoo deploys into the jungle to accomplish missions assigned to them by Zeus, infiltrate, achieve objective, then exfiltrate. When the predator begins to hunt them, they can ESCAPE ON CHOPPER, OR TAKE PRED DOWN AND HAND ITS BODY TO OWLF.

Predator goals (again under extras, canā€™t make this shit up):
Predators only goal on EARTH is to make trophies of worthy prey. Hunt down members of voodoo and claim skulls. Every soilder that escapes is a dishonor to you and your clan.

Its as clear as day. There may be some instances in between these goals that make it seem like a tie, or some people may FEEL they won or the pred lost, this is DIRECTLY from the game.

Anyone who goes against this is literally making what they want of the game and making up their own versions of what a W or L is.

Happy hunting folks.

Keep in mind that there is a daily challenge that focuses upon winning a match as FT and if the Predator explodes (even if you melt him/her in a couple minutes), there is no win for FT and the daily challenge counter does not increase.

It will not count as a W for FT

So you arenā€™t wrong.

#16

Why canā€™t people just accept an L?

This is the first game I have ever seen people fight tooth and nail to prove they have won and not how they have lost.

People are afraid of feeling that feeling of losing to learning and just want to win all the timeā€¦

We gotta learn ppl

Is either a Tie or a Win for Pred.

You know this because the cutscene is the same whether a single FT survives or none survives

Also on the daily challenges it does not count as FT win

My personal opinion, is a draw

#18

I found if NONE of the FT get claimed/donā€™t use reinforce, it produces that weird cinematic of like a (well no one won that) type of thing. Also FT arenā€™t labeled as dead in the post match menu.

If you claim one of the members of the FT but they all survive, it produces fireteam eliminated. Everyone is labeled dead in the post match menu.

Guess thats what we need some hammering out on?

#19

The only time I see the camera panning out into oblivion is when the timer is up and Pred didnā€™t kill any FT

Every time pred explodes is the same scene, the helicopter hovering over the explosion site, doesnā€™t matter if everyone dies on the explosion or if someone survives.

At the end it shows who survived, regardless if he/she was reinforced before
