Really glad to see the game getting a fresh UE5 start and looking forward to the upcoming preds and pred weapons, but in light of fireteam being far easier to get a match as and the removal of fireteam DLCs, they’re definitely due for some new toys. At bare minimum it would be nice if we could get more customization options for OWLF personnel, including an elite outfit and a female body type.
Primary Weapon: OWLF Double-Barrel Rifle
Why is it designed like that? How does it help take down Predators? Who knows, but the OWLF were equipped with them in the 90s and they don’t seem to be similar to any real-world guns.
Special Weapon: Liquid Nitrogen Projector
Slows and depletes the stamina of the Predator at close range rather than dealing much damage. Secondary fire toggles the attached floodlight, detailed below.
Gear: Shoulder-Mounted Floodlight
Toggles between off, a visible spectrum beam which can help illuminate dark areas and treelines, and an ultraviolet beam that can make fluorescent blood glow even brighter from further away. The UV mode’s beam is invisible even to the Predator’s thermal vision, but this could add a level of layered counterplay if the Predator has the option to equip its UV vision mode.
Perk: Pheromone Sensor
Upgrades night vision to track even a cloaked Predator’s path on a delay, triangulating on the target if it stops moving.
Gear: Claymore Mine
Used by Mac and Nikolai in the films. A wary Predator may simply avoid them but I guarantee the Stargazer goons will not.
Melee
More options such as the Voodoo Posse knife, Billy’s machete, and Hanzo’s katana. The latter two are larger than the rest of the blades available and may warrant stat changes for once.
