Predator: Hunting Grounds turns the Predator into a Viking

3 years 5 months ago

The newest DLC for Predator: Hunting Grounds takes inspiration from God of War or Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. Imagine pissing off a Viking Predator and knowing you're about to get fucked all the way up.

Predator: Hunting Grounds gets a new Predator class for its latest add-on. The Viking Predator is a Norse dude -- honestly, he kinda looks like he's doing some Kratos cosplay -- with an ornate design. It'll never be fully appreciated as he's blurring around the battlefield.

The Viking class is actually going to be the slowest Predator yet. Developer Illfonic says he's "insanely strong" but even slower than the Beserker. The Viking also has a Norse two-handed battle axe. It's good for hulking overhead chops and quicker two-hit combos.

Predator: Ragnarok is accompanied by Hunting Grounds' sixth free title update. To combat high wait times, players are granted a 20 percent XP bonus for jumping into low population queues. There's also a new perk system that encourages team diversity. Here's a sample breakdown (but it's far from comprehensive as each class has 16 perk possibilities):
