Hard Evolution Mania! An "Evolve" Quiz

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The playable monsters in "Evolve" bring a large and deadly threat to the group of hunters. However, they have a bit of a learning curve to them. Which of the monsters in the game features in "Evolve's" opening tutorial sequence?

Answer: Goliath

The towering, feral beast Goliath is the first monster to be playable in "Evolve", and his mechanics are demonstrated in the tutorial when players first start the game. Goliath's trademark ability is his fire breath, which can burn many targets simultaneously, but aspiring monster players shouldn't forget his brute strength, as shown is his charge, leap-smash, and rock throw attacks.

The Kraken and Wraith monsters are the 2nd and 3rd unlocks for monster players. Behemoth featured as "Evolve's" first DLC character, released along with 4 additional hinter counterparts.

2. The Hunter side of "Evolve's" crazy 4v1 action has many different playable characters, each of which has his/her own unique loadout, moveset and persona. In the game's Hunter tutorial mission, which Assault character do you play as?

Answer: Markov

The Russian warrior Markov is "Evolve's" first playable assault, and he features in the game's scripted tutorial level. His lightning gun packs quite the punch, while the assault rifle damages his targets at long range, and his Arc mines can set up a deadly gauntlet for any monster.

Hyde and Parnell are the second and third unlockable Assaults, respectively. Torvald is the featured Assault in "Evolve's" 4th tier of hunters, available for sale as DLC.

3. "Evolve's" futuristic sci-fi setting is the perfect backdrop to its frenetic multiplayer action. What is the name of the planet that the game takes place on?

Answer: Shear

"Evolve's" hunters bring the fight to the human colony planet of Shear, where a variety of monster species have attacked the settlement. The alien world is overrun, and it's the hunters' job to hold off the monsters long enough for the surviving colonists to escape.

4. The game's most heavily marketed game mode is a replayable "campaign" that consists of a series of five matches where the result of each affects the gameplay of the next. What is this unique mode called?

Answer: Evacuation

The mode is called "Evacuation", and it's the most fleshed out gameplay experience "Evolve" has to offer. Evacuation unfolds as a five-day campaign in which the hunters and the monster vie for control of Shear's various regions, represented as different playable maps.

After each match, represented as a single day within the campaign, the victor of the match is given a significant bonus, known as a "map effect", that changes the course of the next day.

5. One of the game's most interesting maps takes players to a massive glass dome and its surrounding area. The map's visual aesthetic changes from bright and sunny to dark and cold as you enter and exit the circular greenhouse. What is this map called?

Answer: Aviary

The Aviary was one of the last maps to be shown off before the game was launched. The titular central building contains many species of exotic wildlife, and the wet, swampy terrain can make it difficult for both the hunters and monster to navigate. Outside, a snowy mountainous region sets the stage for vertical fights and offers some skillful sneaking opportunities for the monster player.

The Armory and Fusion Plant are also included in the game, taking place in a canyon and forest, respectively.

6. Shear has a lot of native wildlife, and a significant number of them are not friendly to the hunters. One creature in particular camouflages itself as a large boulder in canyon areas before popping out and grabbing an unsuspecting player. What is this sneaky beast called?

Answer: Megamouth

The toad-like Megamouth is a constant and infuriating obstacle for the hunters in canyon-based maps like the Dam and Rendering Plant. Once trapped in its jaws, a hunter must be freed by a teammate or else be swallowed alive. Monster players shouldn't underestimate these wild beasts either, as they can be dangerously aggressive to even the strongest of monsters.

Tyrants are large crocodile-esque animals that populate swampy areas. Spotters are small mammals that give a horn-like warning whenever the monster nears. Canyon Striders are harmless, land-bound birds that often make good prey for the monster.

7. The lithe, silent Wraith is the third unlockable monster, and her moveset is built for silent stalking and sneaky subterfuge. One of her abilities allows her to pick off a single target by grabbing them and dragging them away from their allies. What's the name of this attack?

Answer: Abduction

Wraith's abduction ability allows her to sneakily pick off straggling members of the hunter group, pulling her prey away from support for an easy snack. It also does a bit of damage, making it useful in a pinch for taking out wounded of fleeing targets, or just for getting a fight started.

Warp is the name of Wraith's unique movement method, which allows her to teleport around the battlefield with ease. Tongue Grab is an attack unique to the
Behemoth that functions as a stationary abduction move.

8. The Trapper class of hunter is responsible for tracking down and pinning their monstrous target so that the rest of the team can take it down. Like all of the hunter classes, there are multiple playable characters in the categories, each of which is unique, but they all share one key ability. What is it?

Answer: Mobile Arena (Dome)

The Trapper, no matter which character the player chooses to use, always has access to his/her Mobile Arena. This dome of force energy traps the monster if it's caught inside. However, any hunters inside the arena cannot leave it either. In addition, the dome only lasts a set amount of time, and it has a lengthy cooldown afterwards.

The Personal Shield, Heal Burst, and Team Cloak are the class abilities of the Assault, Medic, and Support classes, respectively.

9. The monster's Sneak maneuver is invaluable in a wide variety of situations, especially for a sneaky Wraith or opportunistic Goliath. However, however useful sneaking is, it's not infallible. Which of these environmental warning signs is NOT negated by a sneaking monster?

Answer: Carrion Birds

One of Shear's built-in monster tracking mechanism is its flocks of carnivorous Carrion Birds. These winged fiends swoop in to steal a monster's kill, and their loud squawking and wing flapping can tip off the hunters to their target's location. Sneaky tactics from the monster will not stop this from happening; only eating under solid surfaces can stop them from giving you away.

Flocks of nesting Bat Rays, your natural environmental noise, and your footprint trail can all be suppressed or canceled by using Sneak.

10. The hunter squad is pretty tough, but they're still limited to groups of four with no hope of future backup. However, one character breaks that rule by bringing along a companion, complete with her own health bar, movement modes, and AI. What's the name of the character?

Answer: Maggie

Maggie and her loyal trapjaw ally Daisy are the first playable Trapper in "Evolve". Daisy, a domesticated doglike creature, is completely autonomous, requiring no modicum of control from Maggie. Her strong sense of smell allows her to track the monster regardless of footprints, leading the hunter team right to their target.

In combat, Daisy avoids the monster but can revive hunters who go down in an intense fight. She also counts as a 5th member of the team if everyone else is wiped out, which can often save the hunter team from a loss.
