Caged Animal: Defense and damage are increased wile indoors. Lasts for 5 seconds upon entering a building.
Pointless topic
Predator Specializations (My ideas of specializations):
- Wild Card: If encountering the Fireteam your Predator either receives a damage or defense boost.
- Paya’s Blessing: After getting second winded your Predators healing capabilities and damage increases for a short time.
- Cetanu’s Blessing: After getting second winded, the black warrior will grand your Predator increased damage for close and long range weapon’s.
- Bad Blood: Since your Predator committed many crimes he will have a high damage capability though beware his low defense.
- Enforcer: Your Predator can use more items and gear even without “Large Pouch” being equipped.
- Energy Specialist: All items who need the energy bar for usage will need less.
These are good
I wish more people would contribute to this discussed this more especially when Illfonic is away
Can we get this thread in the “general discussion” section? I feel like more people will see it.
Unfortunately no because we don’t want people to see it we want Illfonic to see it
They want us to post our “suggestions” in Feedback so this has to stay in Feedback
And besides there is already a post in General Discussion Predator specialisations Ideas

Predator In General Specializations:
Enforcer: Less damage sustained by Yautja.
Nanovibronic Edge: Smart-Disc becomes “Nanovibronic Disc.” These new Discs have a new alternative fire mode by pressing a input during the aiming sequence. This Disc will embed themselves onto a target and proceed to tear apart the target’s innards for a short amount of time before being recalled back to the sender. However, the use of this alternative fire will cause the Smart Disc to be rendered unusable for a period of time, cooldown is displayed on the HUD. Disc Melee Damage is increased. Takes up Both Weapon Slots.
Glory Strike: Wristblades become “Double Wristblades”. For every ten successful Melee Hit with your Wristblades, unlesh a powerful strike with your Wristblades that can destroy a FT’s Knife if they fail to Parry or do not attempt to Parry. Increased Damage and Attack Speed with Wrist Blades. Takes up Both Weapon Slots.
Omni-Caster: Plasma Caster becomes the “Omni-Caster”. Able to cycle through three different modes of Plasma types that replace the Conventional Charge. Fire Plasma has less Splash Damage and initial damage, but causes a Fire DOT upon targets. Burst Plasma fires Bolts in a small two bolt burst. Causes more energy to account for the additional bolt. Dark Plasma is only able to be used once per life, and is able to halve a target’s total health from its previous total and has no Splash Damage. Takes up Both Weapon Slots.
Spear-Master:
Combi-Stick becomes “Plasma Glaive”. Increased total damage in proportion to how many targets it strikes in a single swing. Faster Projectile Speed. Takes up both Weapon Slots.
Overclocked Shielding:
Instead of being activated for Second Wind, the Body Shield becomes activated or deactivated at the wearer’s choice at any time. The wearer has full range of motion with this shield. This Overclocked Shield drains Energy passively and sustains damage by draining further amounts of Energy. Halves Second Wind Duration. Energy Dependent Functionalities become unable to be used regardless of Energy Level if Overclocked Shield is broken for two minutes.
Scout Exclusive Specialization:
Cunning: After a Med-Kit Recovery, Sprint and Leaping do not cost any Stamina for 15 seconds.
Hunter Exclusive Specialization:
Youngblood’s Luck:
Earn additional XP and Double Vt from Claims.
Berserker Exclusive Specialization:
Adaptation: Gain a Damage Resist boost from the Fireteam Member with the highest amount of Pred Damage. Specialization resets after a Second Wind Recovery.
I like the weapon specialization idea, it adds another layer to combat
Your actual specializations are good as well
Those 4 Weapon Based Specializations are inspired by AvP: Extinction, which are upgrades to the Pred characters with almost OP abilities. Like Nanovibronic Edge in that game would actually be three of the Discs in your body becoming chainsaws. Really cool stuff in terms of Predators actually focusing on technology.
Will come up for stuff that’s not covered by what that game does.
I mean using older Predator/AVP ideas is actually a good thing because Illfonic has an actual reference to work with
Yea, Dutch 2025 story was said to be inspired by Concrete Jungle in a way, not sure if they meant Game or Comic.
They were referring to the game especially because the main boss becomes a Predator hybrid like Dutch
Hunter Borgia
Anyways I’m still hoping Illfonic looks at these threads
I really do hope @OldKingHamlet and @Courier see this and pass it along to the rest of Illfonic, maybe even let up know if they at least saw it
One thing I’d love to see is hitboxes fixed… Still dont know how many headshots miss due to crouching FT or invisible walls.
Also, these specializations. Or some variant there of. I mean, FT got all the goodies. Preds dont even have enough gear to fill up 15pts. And most perks are utterly useless compared to FT ones.
Hell, Assault with Deadly spec and Yautja’s Bane have what, 30% more dmg to a Pred with Assault Rifles… 20% more dmg with every other weapon firing bullets( ie not shotguns and grenade launcher).
Stealth gameplay is almost useless for Preds. They are soooo very easy to detect most of the times due to various noises. The only valid strat I’ve seen succesful Preds use is the bouncy(jumps alot) arrow/plasma shooty with some melee… which looks utterly ridiculous, but it works… and is the only really working strat.
You make a lot of good points, but many have already made these same comments about the game. I do hope the game improves for the better
Honestly, why not a specialization that claims on FT’s give you health back. Short claims 50% Long claims 100% since higher risk more reward. Call it Trophy Hunter @Robo_2696

This brings me joy
Maybe even have a variant that awards more VT per claimed FT
Hmm, maybe a perk like resourceful. Simply gives more VT per claim.

Yeah but honestly who would give up a perk slot
When they can just play as FT and become billionaires
You’ll be surprised, some only want to play Predator so kinda balances out rather than putting it in a specialization
