Players will have the choice of either being a member of an elite Fireteam as they complete paramilitary operations, or take on the role of the Scout, Hunter, and Berserker class of Predators. We’re especially looking forward to playing as the Predator, which features deadly alien tech like camouflage, the plasma caster, wrist blades, smart discs, the combistick, and the Yautja bow.
