Western Predator Speculation

#1

Based off of the mythic trophies being a somewhat decent indicator (so far) as to DLC preds, I think that the Tomahawk and Western Revolver trophies could possibly point to a future Western Predator. All of this is just pure speculation:
Western Predator
-Weapon: Yautja Tomahawk. Maybe if they wanted dual wield implemented, they should give the Predator 2 Yautja Tomahawks; 1 for throwing and 1 for melee. To mix things up a bit, throwing should deal the most damage and melee is decent, but not as powerful. This would make it something other than just a melee weapon.
ā€“Stealth Kill with Yautja Tomahawk would be scalping the ft member and removing the skull through the top. Would be absolutely badass to see in-game.
-Weapon: Western Plasma Pistol Variant. Maybe something like where the overall look is slimmed down, the barrel is extended slightly out, and the rotating plasma charger would be in place of the 6 shot cylinder and function nearly identically. The 6 shot mechanic works well with the concept, so why not. Would also get the devs to make Plasma Pistol more balanced as a ranged weapon.

What do you all think?

This all sounds quite good
I think @BadBlood would like it to

#3

Speaking of witch I see them typing right now šŸ¤£

Contrary to a very vocal opinion regarding these types of Preds a cool design could be done that would surely thrill the pants off the gatekeepers

#5

I like this, what would the predator look like?

#6

Like @BadBlood profile pic but in color

#7

Imagine a Predator crash landed in the middle of the ok corrale gun fight

Not to be contrary but maybe the Western Pred could be more based off of an American Indian. I like the throwable tomahawk and the six shooter variant but would like a Pred who has a more living off the land look. Hell Iā€™d have them strip off the armour and tech, go full native. Maybe a mask and one gauntlet.

Hell yeah, give me a nice bear skin shoulder piece and a bone mask. That would be fun. Lot easier on the eyes than a Yautja in a cowboy hat, šŸ¤£. (No offence intend)

Everyone likes that fucking Alien in star wars that looks like a cowboy tho

Iā€™d go with a duster coat over the hat myself as I can admit itā€™s silly

Key points are the six shooter/throwing knives

I was against these ā€œculturalā€ themes predators up until Viking. Now I welcome more of them as long as they look as good a Viking. Samurai is very lackluster compared to him.

Duster could look pretty sick, not practical but all kinds of cool.

#16

With a desert map itā€™s plenty practical

I like the idea of a stranded predator during the western times surviving on earth without all itā€™s gear

I welcome any time period because frankly Iā€™m kind of tired of AVP as much as I love it

So it reworked itā€™s broken a Plasma Caster into a Six Shooter and skinned a monster Bison to make a coat, it could work.

I really do want a Predator thatā€™s built around having limited tech at some point. No fall back weapon like the caster. Wrist blade made of natural material. Wrist Comp damaged and only suitable for detonating. The mask I still want, the caster less class would still need thermal and Iā€™d likely use an existing mask unless itā€™s mask was absolutely perfect for it. Going to be a long wait, good thing I like the game so much.
