what do you consider a win (pred)

#1

so. there seems to be a lot of different opinion on what people consider a win as the pred. some state if they kill all the fireteam. some is all the fireteam or self destructing. others its atleast getting more exp then the fire team, others its just getting 1 fireteam member.

The game I believe states its all 4 fire team members or a self destruct but this can be pretty hard to do a lot of the time. What do people consider a win as the pred and what do you think would be a better criteria for a win in the future?

I consider the Predator win conditions as I believe they are intended to be as laid out in the game extras/info are:

  1. Fire Team Eliminated
  2. Self Destruct Successful

If the FT does not complete their mission in any way possible, the Predator wins.

  • Self destruct with remaining surviving FT members?
    Predator still wins, they did not complete their mission. But they did survive. But not successful for FT.

  • If FT hides until end of match then you get a “prey escaped” ending. Which I’m my honest opinion, means that the FT is some bitches that can’t take a loss XD they went AWOL and therefore abandoned their mission. Bitches.

  • And yes of course a self destruct killing everyone is a win. You didn’t survive but blew up your tech so Stargazer can’t get it and in the process made sure FT didn’t complete their objectives.

  • Fireteam only wins if they complete all objectives and then extract out safely. If the Predator kills one or more but one or more escape than as the Predator you fail because you let at least one get away. Killing the others only claims that you beat those FT members.

Fire Team Eliminated = Win
Self Destruct Successful = Draw
Prey Escaped (even if only 1 FT) = Loss

Any Match where you don’t end up dying is a win in my Book @Garrtic. Sometimes they’ll slip away. I’d rather have that than my Self Destruct going off to no avail LOL

If I team wipe or kill 2-3 with a really good team and don’t die myself. Or if I force them to run out of time.

#8

I see we are getting a variety of answers. Anyone got anything they want to see as a win for the pred? cause currently pred win is pretty static up personal opinion.

#9

Just go to the extras in the main menu it literally says how a win is a win. What I said is really all in there. Just have to check it out.

that may be the case but I am also asking what people want to see. also a majority of pred players find it nearly impossible or completely impossible to win. A lot of people on the forums are also saying they win so many games but due to how hard it is to meet the actual conditions for a win people have started considering different situations as a win. That is actually showing in this thread already.

This is what I was curious on so please keep answering and posting what you all consider a win.

Well if you want to get all technical then really it all boils down to your team, the Predator you’re matched up against and vice versa and the amount of skill between all of them. Skill plays a heavy factor in here even among all the imbalance. From experience I can tell you that from both perspectives it’s an easy win if you have the right conditions. Like I said earlier, skill and general game knowledge among your team mates will matter in every match.
I’ve blasted quite many a Predators with my classes as FT especially my support class. I even legitimately have 1v1 a predator who seemed to be at least decent, than put him down.
And as Predator it can take me 2-3 mins to take out a whole Fireteam or it can take me the whole match. It honestly just depends on condition.
These other comments in post and even mine can be chalked up to preferences but it boils down to what the game actually wants and needs you to do

#12

this is not a debate on the skill needed to play, if you can kill the pred, if you can kill the entire fire team.

This is just a question as to what you consider a win. your opinion and what you want to see in the future. A lot of people say they win this or win that. so I am just putting something up so people can say what they consider a win. That way more people are on the same page and all and we get more accurate information.

#13

Than we need to see more game modes and more gameplay mechanics if we want to see different more unique ways to win. I’m all for that, but I was answering your post and giving you my opinion bro

#14

if a lot of people are saying they win this many matches or they win this often but they may have a different idea of what winning is. If illfonic sees that then they may have to change the winning conditions or alter something to make things different. I am also just curious as to what people consider a win. Some people are straight "the games conditions for winning are what I consider a win’ other people are “i get one FT member and live” some may even be “i get more exp then anyone else” i am curious as to what peoples are.

#15

Yea that’s fair, agreed. But really the only way generally to win isn’t given a huge amount of options and what people “may think what is a win” won’t change how each match will finish. Some Predators maybe aren’t good enough to take on a full fledged FT or a really great FT so maybe they consider wiping 2 or more members but sacrificing themselves is their way of learning how they can get better. Or a FT going up against a really good Predator so maybe they think when they down one and don’t defuse it’s an accomplishment, which it is. Taking out a good Predator feels good but why ruin that feeling by blowing yourself up by trying to defuse the nuke? Like you said everyone will be different in how the think that but it still all brings full swing back to skill play

#16

But don’t worry my brother, this game will bring (hopefully) new and exciting ways to play!

#17

self destruct is a mostly loss unless they all die in it, then draw, i guess (but still kinda a loss)

total win is obv taking out all 4

surviving and killing at least two is kinda a win, kinda a draw.

most games i guess are a mixture of a draw / partial win if pred survives as long as one kill is made, pure draw if no kills

pure loss if pred dies and at least one person gets away

#18

Killing everyone lol

#19

Killing everyone = win

At least one FT escapes or avoids my self-destruct = draw

Everybody escapes or I die with no kills = loss
