Whack as in high or lowđ
Oh yeah some of those guys have ridiculous hours. Iâve seen 5000+ on some but they play like garbage. Youâd think after all that time theyâd pick up on some key elements.

So it would seem like thereâs still people posting dumb shit about builds, I have been severely slacking with builds and have made multiple attempts at trying to put out information just to run out of motivation, I thought I would make a breakdown going over this persons post.
I donât really see anything wrong with this player and I am focused on game information as this is most likely someone who really doesnât know the game, doesnât understand perks, doesnât really get anything, and is just someone who adds to the ridiculous conglomerate of information slop that plagues Reddit so more or less this.
I think DEEZKNUGHTZ makes a good example with this, which is essentially attempting to give out information when theyâre newer and donât have adept experience
One fireteam loadout to rule them all.
Spartan basically made a video and thread about loadouts, Itâs just ridiculous at this point and Iâll show you what this looks like on paper
https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntingGrounds/comments/1jzznn1/one_fireteam_loadout_to_rule_them_all/
Low Level
Player doesnât seem to have enough experience to even add any new information to the current knowledge base of loadouts to begin with given the history of other players
Cosmetic customization
Cosmetics donât have anything to do with loadout direct loadout performance but special note to black outfits for night time
Knife customization
I have to point this out since some people donât understand the knifes all do the exact same thing
Red Dot on 1011-12
Predator Hunting Grounds is heavily orientated towards hipfire for close quarter engagements, within close quarter engagements ADS for weapons is not preferable for a variety of reasons such as the recoil for pistols in this case creates some tracking difficulties and not being able to get a good gauge for the target youâre actually trying to shoot
Unused weapons
Given that this person is showing of the âBestâ weapons I would hope that you would have at least tried these out first so they had to either watch other footage of these weapons being used, gained gameplay experience but quit games to not gain actual XP, or play Predator Hunting Grounds on an alternative account or platform to even consider these weapons, they could even say that A friend told me it was good or I saw it posted somewhere else
I donât want to even type this out right now which is another possibility of not ever using the weapons at allâŚ
Low level weapons
Usage of weapons but not even maxed out also invites criticism far before the actual choice of perks, weapons, gear, and specializations
Are you sure you want to click this?
No heâs is not 11. I checked.
Midway point
Iâm not really into dropping the hammer on these types of people but more or less I think itâs good to document because it is stuff that people have had to deal with over the years when playing this game and at this point itâs just silly and I am still on the fence of this being 100% satire, I think I am just going to assume it 's a joke but due to many people who still donât understand loadouts Iâm going to break it down anyways
Loadout Breakdown
There is quite a few obvious below average newbie mistakes but some stuff itâs hard to fuck up and what seems ok is assault rifles, pdl, weapons training (meh), frag grenades, self revive. Spartan even managed to put on an SMG but didnât have any levels on his weapon, I donât even know what to say to that.
As a comprehensive loadouts, these are far from perfect and donât even come close to what already exists and is well practiced, infact these arenât even remotely considerable and a logical loadout is leagues if not worlds beyond what is being showed off in this video. Also.
âŚ
What.
Duelist with minigun
Duelist⌠does⌠not⌠work⌠with⌠a⌠minigunâŚ
This is completely surface level information
Smoke grenades
Smoke grenades have no benefit to fireteam and even obscure line of sight, even best case scenario they are paired with thermal decoys to which spartan put them on scout⌠This is messed up because flashbangs are the go to choice due to being able to force recall disc and disorientate Predators, even if you had thermal + smoke grenades or used smoke grenades when Predator does not have mask itâs probably wont even be better than the versatility of flashbangs to which thermal decoys at best is the next choice
ABR-Z
This is a petty excuse for a sniper rifle, SAWZ-50 does the job of the ABR-Z not only better but with less effort, there has never been a reason to even take this gun seriously let alone with the damage possibility with bane, fanatic, and leader stacking
S-R3D
Minigun actually isnât that bad now but nowhere near âThe Bestâ, in a recent analysis with OG Peeps a minigun was used for the secondary to which cannot be taken seriously even with the consideration of the possible tricks that can be done with the minigun, it does decent damage but is dwarfed by smgâs, 1011-12 + ammo bag, and even grimtech19 currently
Silent
Never an instance to even consider this perk, waste of a perk slot and itâs functionality and implementation development wise is laughable
Dexterous
Not even considerable to use when creating a comprehensive loadout for fighting players that understand what their doing but there is an exception of usage for field medic if anything
Efficient
Efficient has absolutely nothing to do with performanceâŚ
6x Zoom for Assault Rifle
Typically this is not the go to, it raises concern for accuracy which would otherwise be better on holographic or red dot
Multitasker
There is not a reason to put this on at all, even with all things considered fast hands is not only a better alternative but you typically donât want to move that much when youâre in ADS to begin with
2XL
Thereâs no reason to respect this gun to which 1011-12 outperforms this weapon preferably with ammobags and or SMG right now
Loadout 1
This is not that bad, although flashbangs would be more desirable and efficient provides no benefit.
Thickskin might be better instead of weapons training and efficient simply due to being on console and weapons training being more effective for more precise aiming or replacing efficient with action hero
Loadout 2
This is weird, extra gear points are not utilized with UAV, Ammobags, or Medkits, RP-103 is an ok weapon but 2XL isnât that good, efficient should be swapped for action hero and multitasker should be swapped with fasthands at the very least
Loadout 3
This is a disaster, recon has no thick skin, recon doesnât have tracker, sixth sense is not something thats practical, bane is not needed, and owlf trained might be ok as filler but not when in conjunction to recons amount of perk points. You didnât pick frag grenade or acid for your gear, to which acig is more versatile, although flashbang and thermals are not 100% bad thereâs are just better gear to use. At least you picked the sniper specialization and picked the Z-06 which isnât entirely bad.Also the 7EN has itâs job done better by the SAWZ-50 with much less effort.
Loadout 4
This is a complete and utter failure
This is a staple to loadout incomitance within the community and a nail in the coffin to this post as a whole.
Individually there are better choices for every single weapon, gear choice, and perk for this loadout but not only that, when synergy is in question it fails completely even when addressing what this is as a whole, at best the weapons training compliments S-R3D and dexterous compliments scouts interaction timeâŚ
Counters and information
For fireteam weapon you only have to avoid
- Plasma Rifle Prototype
- CS-12
- DJL-33
- XBD-12
- ABR-Z
- D34-D
And the best weapons are really not that hard to understand as they are these and pretty much all the SMGâs
- PDL
- SAWZ-50
- Hammerhead
- 1011-12
This is a good perk pool to reference for fighting Predators who actually know what they are doing and not dipshits
This is the gear you should want to use against people who understand what they are doing
I get that spartan doesnât have the DLC classes, but this is more than enough information.
Additional Information
I was going to go really deep into loadouts such as going over min max classes, synergies, loadout testing, field testing specific weapons, weapon nuances like what I showed with the mini gun, weapon statistics, within my own workings it is a lot of compiling and itâs hard to counter anyoneâs comments and claims without footage
It might seem off topic but I want to nullify builds from users pre 3.0, I have multiple videos showcasing level 1 loadouts with assault, dante, and dutch 1987
Most loadouts are not comprehensive in the past and do not exceed level 1 capabilities such as what Iâm going to link
Iâm pretty sure I used crosshairs but am not sure what matches have it and wanted to reshoot the footage because it doesnât have my overlays and fps counter at the time of this recording, it was a project killer for me
There are huge differences in gameplay such as leap time, night time visibility, and day time visibility, the visual changes, I remember it was a struggle to get any good games during this time too
Yes, I know how to use assault rifles lmao

I feel like this has happened too many times to not immediately assume itâs someone who just likes the game and is basing their information of false positives they get from killing predators in public games
The effort is so has the potential to be so incredibly low itâs as ridiculous as Spartans scout loadout

Iâve noticed there are way too many Xbox newbies thinking they know everything about the game. Some are humble but most are just arrogant & ignorant like the majority of people on that reddit page.
99% of them have too much of an ego to listen to more experienced players too. Eventually theyâll run into someone like you or me, get humbled, and then walk off with their tail between their legs & still keep some kind of egotistical grudge about it. Too arrogant to take advice & too snowflakey so they just stay offended instead of admitting they were wrong.
Some people just canât be helped unfortunately.

Yâall seem desperate, addressing a three month old video on Reddit, but I get itâŚthis nearly-defunct competitorâs laughing stock of a forum is hurting for content. Why havenât any of you had the balls to publicly critique me, directly from the source on Reddit? Just sayinâ. đ
I think you missed the point? Also it could be 3 years old and not make a difference, heâs in your same shoes is he not?
Also what?

My builds are far better than his. Iâm also aware the shotguns are trash in terms of in-game effectiveness, but I ainât changing out my DJL-33 for anyone. Itâs a personal preference, not out of ignorance thinking itâs a great secondary weapon, bc itâs far from it. Itâs a fair compromise, tho.
Everyoneâs allowed to share their game-related experiences, whether itâs useful to others or not. Most of us donât give a flying fuck about the in-depth intricacies and competitive nature of this game, and would rather share their experiences (or lack thereof) in the game, over tryna impress anyone with a higher level of experience. Afterall, itâs just a game, bro. Most of us (including myself) have families and careers, that take much higher precedence over tryna impress PHGâs elite.
If their information is inaccurate or useless, you can leave a positive suggestion in their thread instead of being a dick about it, but I see thatâs not how it works, here. Instead, yâall just hide in this subterranean shithole, and critique posts from other platforms, like a plague of TMZ drama queens.
It seems what yall see on other platforms is too painful for your fragile minds to sustain on your own. So, I get itâŚyou feel the need to address them here, like youâre all in group therapy tryna get through the day. Whatâs next for all of you, after illfonic pulls the plug on this game? Onto another forum perhaps, like a family of mentally ill, inbred gypsies?
Currently at level 675, yâall can egg me all you want with your five years of gameplay, but the need to post it for your amusement is a sad look for you, and the rest of this forum.

Whoosh goes the point

I pretty much understand that people canât ever be taught certain things but this way of talking about subjects seems to be the best not always because of the person in review but coverage of a subject for everyone else in a way
