The season of haunting and hunting is upon us with the month of October in full swing. This makes it a great time to jump into the jungle and scare the fire crew or turn the situation around and hunt the hunter. We’re excited to bring our new Predator to the lineup for October’s paid DLC, the Exiled Predator. And for predators who want to mask themselves for Halloween, we’ve got three new masks making their way into the free update just in time for the night of haunting … or hunting.
This month’s paid DLC introduces the Exiled Predator to the Universe. It is not known when or how this predator was exiled, but it was clearly able to adapt and hunt undetected in the far reaches of Yautja territory. While avoiding common hunting grounds, this Yautja was able to hunt legendary warriors on the Pacific Island Ranges. The Exiled Predator carefully interpreted and crafted armor from local raw materials with deep respect for these warriors. Additionally, players will have access to the Hook weapon, which is an early access weapon skin that will be unlockable for all players by December 2021.
The October Free Update doesn’t disappoint with ways to scare and freak you out. Night Cards have been introduced to the game with this update. Prepare for all the fears of jumping! Night Maps introduce a new way to play the game that has already produced many exciting and very intense hunting experiences in our internal play tests. The fire team must now navigate through dark jungles and light-filled camps to complete their missions. To improve visibility on night maps, the Fireteam will be able to toggle night vision when needed. The predator can now use the cover of darkness to stalk its prey, so make sure you don’t get your biomask knocked down by the fire crew. As mentioned before, not only will the Predator have darkness for hunting, but also three new masks with this update. The most recent masks to join the Predator “closet” are the Salamander, Mors and Foxtrot masks. Additionally, this update brings the Cleopatra Smart Disc weapon skin to all players with a level 27 unlock.
Everyone at IllFonic is excited to see how the community’s hunting styles change under the cover of night in the jungle. Keep posting these videos and screenshots on all social platforms, we love to see them! In the meantime, see you in the jungle!
