Yes.... that Predator

I wondered what the big update was I saw go by recently.

I actually (for an entire day) thought you meant the Predator from the movie. I was trying to figure out how they shoe-horned it into the story  :uglystupid2:

He does mean the Predator from the movie. Its a limited time event where players can hunt (or be hunted by) the Predator. Yes, the alien from the movie franchise.

^ Noooooooooo! -- I wanted the movie Predator!!

Oh well. The realworld drone thing will work okay I guess.

Updated to confusion among conflicting Predator claims.

...why not have both?  :D

Wow, there's potentially a whole spin-off here... the Ghosts get sidetracked off into dealing with an invasion of Xenomorphs from a crashed Predator ship, basically being a Tyrannid infestation, and then a surviving Predator in the mix calls in his clan for an opportunistic hunt.

Quote from: RockPaperShotgunUbisoft's Ghost Recon Wildlands this week introduces the Predator to the sandbox stealth-o-shooter. Yes, Predator, like the movies about headhunting aliens. Players will get to fight a Predator in a special challenge as well collect and use Predator items. As odd as this may be, it does make Wildlands more interesting to me as I'll take a monster mash over oh-so-serious imperialist fantasy any day. And the Predators and Ghosts do have a lot in common: they both enjoy sneaking around jungles, casually slaughtering anyone they consider beneath themselves.

Christ, RPS. The actual story isn't about either of those things. At all. Suck that blue pill down!  :uglystupid2:  :crazy2:

What's more helpful from the RPS article, is that the Predator mission will only be a free add-on until sometime in "early January", so only a couple of weeks. After that it deactivates. Presumably this means it will be a paid DLC later?  ??? There are paid DLC parallels to the special mission being offered, but not the mission itself. Yet.

Don't have the game but I thought it was about a team of special forces hunting a group of drug dealing guerrilas in the jungle - it's like it was made for a predator spin off!

JasonPratt

Thus the topicality no doubt.

One of the themed paid DLCs offers a skin, or maybe a whole character class, based on... Dutch? Duke? Dooku? Dusky? Doughnut? Arnold's character from the movie.
