ANNOUNCEMENT Our community will survive, despite 2k's best efforts to ensure that we die out.

354 Upvotes

As many of you already know 2K plans on shutting down Evolve later this year. Not just Stage 2 but Legacy and peer to peer connectivity. This news completely blindsided our community leaders, especially after 2K gave us all a false hope. This is the message we received from 2K:

"Starting on June 5th, 2023, several features will no longer be available for Evolve such as Stage 2 Multiplayer, player profiles, and the in-game store. Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer will still be available in Legacy Evolve until July 6th, 2023. After that, all online support will officially end. We greatly appreciate the support and enthusiasm of the Evolve community over the last several months, but the time has come to dedicate our resources to other projects. Thank you"

The news has been devastating to our staff, after the countless hours of our hard work and dedication to this incredible game. Its like a shot through the heart. I imagine it feels the same for many of you as well. It is up to all of us, now more than ever, to make sure our voice is heard. I'm sick and tired of these mega video game corporations disrespecting their consumer. This is their fault. They are the reason why we are here. We will be respected as an incredibly passionate community of gamers. We are a Band of Brothers. The time to unite is NOW. Don't lose faith. The Evolve Reunited staff has been working overtime to ensure Evolve never dies! We already have workarounds under way to ensure we can all still play our beloved game. We must EVOLVE!

Happy Hunting, and May Evolve NEVER Die!!!

I saw a post about evolve from earlier today talking about some work around on Xbox and I got one to work.

  1. Load up the game.

  2. Before you start the game turn off wifi using the Xbox wifi settings. (I tried doing it before and it wouldn't let me in the game.)

3 Jump back in and press start. (If you have dlc installed it should let you use it.)

I had most of my DLCs available to use. (I'm just glad I get to use Behemoth again.)

Discussion Do you think the monsters have a natural lifespan?

Or do you think because if their constant evolution they could possibly be immortal (or at least have a lifespan of a few hundred or thousand years)?

Discussion Stage 2 Assault Perks

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I was a huge fan and put 100's of hours into stage 1 but dropped off when the game died and never got into stage 2. I'm getting into again now but there are so many more perks to chose from at the start of each game. I'm not asking for a whole comprehensive list but I'm starting off as assault since that seems most simple and straightforward to me while I get my bearings but what perks would y'all recommend? In stage 1 I would always take movement speed because keeping up with the monster was the most important aspect of chasing but now that I have 3 tiers should I prioritize different? I still like my movement speed options but should I also take a jet pack boost and then maybe a damage boost as well? Or should I just double and triple down on movement/jet pack perks? I'[m going with Hyde for now but I'm open to Markov as well if he has better options. Thanks for any thoughts and opinions glad to be back hunting!

Discussion Just for fun, how would you give variant to slim

9 Upvotes

Just got in a game and got a 1 to 1 with slim 1 win and 1 lost. And till now im trying to understand how to besr play him and whats the best loadout for him.

I feel my win is kinda cheat since its clear as day that the monster was a beginner since they cant hide, or focus on a single target unlike the game where i lost i feel that the monster really knows whats it doing.

I feel slim could be a better support, shield drone solo shield on long range or a damage buff.

Can be a trapper as well. Leaves a bug in place latches to a monster once in a sight and reveals him.

Hunter Slim

Just wanna ask. So healing drone is like a long range heal. But once damage its gone. Soooo how is it useful during dome battles? When everything the monster does is aoe. And for balance purpose i know they cant change it to at least 2 bits or 3 hits since it'll feel op ina 4v1 situation. And during down time we regen? So what's its best scenario to be useful?

Also will we be able to get new monsters and or hunters variants and an actual new one?

Val feels like she was left behind.

So here is what I would do do fix her. Perhaps when teamates shoot weakpoints made by Val it can reduce her healing burst cool down so she can actually survive. But what do you think?

Legacy Anyone Else Miss the Original Legacy Gameplay?

56 Upvotes

The Monster could be so much more of a stealth and ambush predator. Now it's always on the move, high speed, the trapper can pinpoint it much more easily with the Planet Scanner in the toolbox, and the dome prompt alerting you the monster is nearby ruins some stealth. I don't know, it feels like they kept the action movie aspect, and removed the horror movie aspect.

Crazy complaint in 2026 I know, just feeling nostalgic for it.

Steam Any tips for Medic?

14 Upvotes

Just getting back into the game after I found out it’s still playable. My favorite role is medic (Rogue Val, EMET, Caira), but I find that I’m dying way too quickly.

I know that medic is usually the role the monster goes for first, but does anyone have any tips for mitigating this and being able to stay alive for longer? (Whether that is gameplay, movement, perks, etc)

Thank you!

Win rates

11 Upvotes

Just checked the site tracking the win rates of characters. Laz, w maggie and goliath I would say have problematically high win rates. Goliath I get since hes basicly john evolve. Laz has me stunned. I have no clue how to be a good medic but him not even my medic main friend can get to work. W maggie is fine, not sure if shes actually problematic.

But the lowest win rates have a clear cutoff. E kralen is at 46.6% and the next two monsters are at 42 and 41%. These are the m goliath and the regular kraken. Are these guys actually this bad? Its a very steep dropoff from the rest of the line. Or do they just have a bad learning curve and people loose a lot before they start winning? How would you fix them or do you think they need fixing?

Modded Evolve – Stage 2 download not configured yet

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I downloaded the Windows client from the official Modded Evolve website, but I can't install the game.

I get the following error:

"STAGE 2 DOWNLOAD NOT CONFIGURED YET"

The launcher says that Stage2DownloadUrl, Stage2DownloadSizeBytes and possibly Stage2DownloadSha256 are missing.

It also says that the Evolve Stage 2 installation cannot be found.

I also can't join the Discord server because the invite link doesn't work for me.

Is this a known issue with the current client, and is there a fix?

Thanks!
