| The Father Predator joins the hunt | 2026-04-28 | Father Predator The Father Predator is an Elder Yautja clan leader who lives by a single, unwavering truth: strict adherence to the Yautja Codex. He credits these ancient teachings for his unprecedented survival, earning him the reputation of the greatest hunter in his clan’s long history. To him, the Code is absolute; he is infamous for purging his own ranks, ruthlessly culling any member who exhibits even the slightest hint of frailty. His vast experience has made him an unparalleled master of Yautja technology. He is a ferocious and calculating predator, a living monument to the lethal perfection demanded by the Yautja Codex.This DLC pack |
| The Jotun Predator has arrived! | 2026-01-20 | Jotun PredatorViewed by his own clan as a bloodthirsty aberration, the Jotun Predator lives for the sheer thrill of the kill rather than the honor of the hunt. He is defined by his brutality and savagery. Despite possessing an arsenal far superior to his prey, he rejects advanced plasma weaponry, priding himself instead on raw physical dominance. Not even a grave injury in close-quarters combat could halt his rampage; he became one of the first Yautja to utilize prototype cybernetics to replace a severed hand. Centuries ago, Norsemen mistook the Jotun Predator for the mythological beast Grendel—a living nightmare that simply refused to die.Th |
| The Chain Whip Predator weapon is now available for free | 2025-11-11 | Chain WhipUnlocks at level 80Designed by Oni, the Chain Whip's main utility is to allow hunters to disrupt their prey's formation, enabling them to pick off enemies more effectively. Pulling prey in from a distance, it allows the wielder to devastate them with a barrage of close-combat attacks in a split second.While the weapon can be unwieldy to the untrained, it makes up for it with the element of surprise and disruption when mastered. |

| Oni Predator is here! | 2025-08-19 | Oni Predator As a Yautja specializing in stealth, Oni dedicates all his resources to improving his hunting equipment, allowing him to engage his prey from the shadows. He is a warrior who prioritizes speed and ranged combat, making him an extremely formidable foe.Along with modifications to his cloaking system, he developed the Chain Whip, a unique bladed rope weapon allowing him to disrupt groups of prey and isolate stronger individuals from a pack.While not the most intimidating in terms of size, his lean form allows for a more aggressive slash-and-dash combat style compared to other Yautja. By combining his stealth with raw aggression, Oni |

| The Witch Predator has arrived! | 2025-04-24 | Witch Predator In the dawn of ancient Britannia, during the age of towering stones and untamed wilds, a Scout type Predator stalked the land. Known only as the Witch Predator, she would use her disposable drones, their silent flight scouting the terrain and pinpointing the movements of potential prey. She would discover a group of Celtic warbands; she observed their ruthless raids and brutality against their enemies. With their strength and bravado in full display, it was a challenge she relished. As her hunt began, she adapted her gear, replacing the metallic components of her armor with bone and hide. This would allow her to match their fer |

| Predator: Hunting Grounds - Gladiator DLC | 2024-12-10 | Inspired by the savage spectacle of the gladiatorial arenas, this Yautja became captivated by the warriors' ferocity, adapting their tactics and armor to mirror the might of his prey. His enemies never faced the same hunter twice, as he took their skills and style as his own. This DLC pack includes the Gladiator Predator premium class, as well as early access to the new Trident Predator weapon. |
