Recently bought a Mondraker Level and it came with Beastie DH tyres (Assegai DH Max grip front and rear)
I have ditched the rear in favour of a DHR2 Double Down but still run the Assegai up front....
Struggling to find a decent front pressure to be honest so wondering if anyone else runs it and what pressure....
I am just over 100kg...

I am 95kg in my riding kit. I have 29x2.5 Assegai DH Maxx Grip on the front and use 17psi. If I'm intending to go somewhere particularly rocky, I will go +1 or +2 psi. When the pressure is that low, it's advisable to set the pressure when you get where you are going as it is surprising how much ambient temperature affects the pressure.
I did have a 29x2.5 Assegai DD Maxx Grip tyre on before the DH and the pressure requirement was the same.

Tubeless of course, no insert.

Used to run 22 front 24 rear Assegai Maxxgrip DD.

Works on our terrain.
