Predator: Hunting Grounds is in an interesting spot right now, as the game has only released two weeks ago but with many players, this writer included, capped at level 100 with no more weapons or perks to unlock. The game is fantastic and worth playing solely for its gameplay, but will that be enough to sustain a player base in a game that cannot exist without a healthy number of Fireteam and Predator players? No, it is not, and that is why we are so excited and hopeful to see what Illfonic has in store for its year-long road
As mentioned earlier in the guide, Hillbilly is a very basic killer in a game filled with personality and in-depth mechanics. But the character makes up for his lacking personality by having some of the most powerful tools in the game. But to truly get mileage out of his seemingly bare-bones arsenal will take some practice, but can lead to some incredibly quick and brutal rounds of Dead by Dayli
Between each round, players go to the hud (which is a campfire) and make offerings to the Entity by burning items in order to appease it. Then they’ll go to the “Bloodweb” (the Entity’s lair) in which “Bloodpoints” are spent to unlock certain add-ons, items, and perks. Bloodpoints are acquired at the end of each trail and the quantity is dependant on the player’s performance. The higher the ranking, the more Bloodpoints will be accumulated. Survivors and killers alike will eventually come with a total of four perks to their loadout. Each perk grants a special ability and beginning players will start with just one slot while others will be unlocked later on. Perks range from; self-healing, speed boosts, temporary invincibility, and m
A very important aspect to Legion’s Feral Frenzy is that when the Killer inflicts the Deep Wound status effect he gains two significant buffs. The first being that he maintains his Feral Frenzy buff, and can chain multiple Deep Wound attacks together to maintain his powerful buff. This makes Legion a hypermobile and incredibly quick killer able to essentially dominate a map’s space with little to no difficulty. But arguably the most important aspect to Feral Frenzy is an ability related to the skill, and that is Legion’s Killer Insti
Winning and losing at video games can often be measured by clear, quantifiable objectives, but the same is not true of several contemporary asymmetrical PvP titles. How does one quantify success in games that pit players against one another with conflicting objectives and to
To mitigate Legion’s slow starts to matches using perks such as Barbeque and Chili can allow the Killer necessary recon to get things going in his favor as well. This allows Legion to see Survivor’s in a nearby radius after he hooks a Survivor. A powerful ability that allows him to truly begin his pressure. Nurses’ Calling also synergizes extraordinarily well with his Deep Wound ability, as Survivors are forced to heal and mend the status effect away, allowing this Killer to maintain extraordinary pressure on a group of Surviv
A major tactic implemented to almost all Hillbilly player’s arsenal is using his Chainsaw charge as a recon ability. Given how incredibly fast the ability is it allows for Hillbilly players to make rounds of a given area extremely efficiently. Plus the fact that the charge has no in-game stopping point other than running into a hazard allows for Hillbilly player to almost endlessly run around a given map. Making it quite easy to find and take out Survivors in the blink of an eye. So utilizing the Chainsaw charge as less of a pure offensive tool and more of a method to efficiently travel a map is the sign of a smart Hillbilly pla
On paper this ability does not seem all that useful, yes it allows players to travel the map incredibly quickly but there is another layer that makes the move such a threat in the Dead by Daylight meta. By adding additional time to Spencer’s Last Breath the Nurse can blink multiple times in succession. These multiple blinks add an additional second to the recharge period per blink used in succession but it can be used to rapidly cover the distance of a fleeing survivor in an inst
These are among the most common outcomes to a match in these kinds of games, and one would be hard-pressed to find two matches that ever play out in the same way. With such distinct possible outcomes, how exactly does one measure succ
Given the abilities’ instant kill property, a smart Hillbilly player will use the Chainsaw charge as a quick burst to take out a Survivor, rather than using its full charge. Given the drawback of running into an object, a smart Hillbilly will quickly strike with the instant kill attack to kill a Survivor. This requires some advanced understanding of positional advantage in Dead by Daylight as it will require players to understand a good angle to cut off an unsuspecting Survivor, but when mastered makes Hillbilly an imposing fo
Legion’s arsenal of powerful abilities makes the Killer a deadly efficient Killer in a given match. Making him one of the most oppressive in the cast when he gains a serious amount of momentum in his favor. This forces players to respect his Feral Frenzy due to the powerful recon buff he gains with Killer Instinct. Making him one of the Best sable Perks Killers for players who like to have extremely dangerous tracking abilit
