Brawler
The Brawler is possibly the most expendable Predator to have and they have adequate abilities for face-to-face combat with enemies. One thing to note about this Predator is that the Predator’s effective range is short because it just has its Wrist Blades has weapons. Can also kill Facehuggers if they jump up to try and facehug him. When upgraded – Glory Strike – Causes extreme damage by a powerful hit and sometimes decapitate the target.
Hunter
The Hunter Predator has the most infamous weapon, the Shoulder Cannon. The weapon will definitely come in handy – not just because of its range but because it can inflict a lot of damage upon opponents. Plasma blasts can also create a splash damage effect. When upgraded – Omnicaster – A bioscanner and multi-barrelled firing mechanism enables the weapon to analyse targets with plasma munitions. There are three kinds of plasma: Burst Plasma, Fire Plasma, which ignites targets and Dark Plasma which causes a controlled energy reaction.
Disc Master
The Disc Master Predator has yet another powerful weapon – the Disc which inflicts masses of damage upon the enemy. The main disadvantage of the weapon is that the predator must wait for the Disc to return to him before he can strike again which leaves him open to enemy attacks. When upgraded – Nanovibronic Edge – Has nine discs with a high-speed molecular chainsaw around the circumference. Can throw three discs at one target which rips through its body.
Spear Master
The Spear Master Predator holds a spear for defense and can take out multiple opponents that maybe nearby him. The spear’s sharp and armor-piercing and can kill many creatures apart from the Ravager. If he is surrounded by enemies, he creates a whirlwind, striking everybody around him. If it attacks while undetected, the predator gives the victim one sharp strike, killing him instantly. When upgraded – Plasma Glaive – This is double-bladed weapon with white hot plasma that can burn through enemy armor.
Stalker
The Stalker Predator is the ideal sniper amongst all Predator species as he holds sharp spears. He has a very long range for killing and can easily take out enemies that are in hard-to-reach places. Each spear inflicts damage over a period of time. When upgraded – Bleeder Spears – Barbed harpoons that drains victim’s fluid levels to the point of death.
Hydra
The Hydra Predator is one of the most powerful Predator species in the game with his Hydrashock Barrage which fires surges of energy at multiple opponents. If the Predator is controlled automatically, it can find and attack enemies by itself but if he’s manually controlled, this Predator uses everything it has got and strikes its firepower on a specific opponent. When upgraded – Warhead Swarm – Fires electroshock missiles with multiple warheads. When fired, it looks to see how many target are nearby and splits the missile into as many as three submissiles which hits different targets.
Blazer
The Blazer Predator is the most terrifying and the most powerful Predator in the game. His weapon is called the Blazer Cannon which fires a heat beam at multiple opponents in one shot and it’s hugely effective against long-range enemies. Along with his wonderful weaponry, he has high endurance and even if he does get injured, he has the Medi-Comp to heal himself. The downside to the Blazer Predator is that he is unable to cloak leaving him vulnerable to attacks. When upgraded – Dual Blazers – Mounts two blazers on each shoulder to maximize attack.
Vanguard
The Vanguard is extremely well armoured and carry’s a powerful weapon called the Plasma Scythe which is capable of killing an enemy in four hits. The unit does seem to be weak when dealing with multiple enemies so he won’t last long on the battlefield. A tip is to team up four upgraded Vanguards, line them up left to right and they’ll prevent all incoming fire from hurting the weaker units or objects. When upgraded – Killscreen Generator – The projection spires emit unstable streams of dark plasma that vaporized incoming enemy fire.
Ancient
Ancient Predators appear at the end of the Marine and Predator missions. In the final marine mission, a few of them guard the Artifact and in the final predator mission, you control one which is the Nuke Carrier. This predator carries a blade for defense and can easily take down a Queen Alien in about 5 to 6 hits. Ancient Predators are also unable to upgrade themselves but they can stay cloaked for the longest out of all predator species for up to 900 seconds. The Ancient can do a small critical hit and can’t be detected by Aliens except for PredAliens and Hive Nodes.
PredGun
The PredGun is a powerful weapon that predators possess and it fires blasts of plasma at any nearby enemies. While it is a excellent tool for defending your team, it also heals itself when the weapon is not under attack. The big disadvantage to it is that it has a relatively slow rate-of-fire so it means you’ll find it hard to deal with a lot of enemies at once. The PredGun can move on its own but it’s extremely slow and it also can’t attack enemies while in motion.
Shrine
Like Marines gaining resources from a dropship and Aliens acquiring bodies, the Predators have a Shrine. From which they can get upgrades and this is based on how many credits you have. It’s attack, the Fireliner, is a multi-beam heat weapon and focuses small beams on multiple enemies. The Shrine also recharges predators’ energy supply. Unfortunately, the Shrine moves very slowly and is very prone to ambushes from other species.
Egg
Alien Eggs are laid by the Queen Alien and can hold up to one Facehugger. When there is a body nearby, the Egg opens up to unleash the Facehugger on the prey. A Queen can spend infestation points to transform an Egg into a Praetorian Egg which will contain a Praetorian Facehugger. When upgraded – Adaptive Hyperfertility – Bigger Eggs that contain multiple Facehuggers.
Facehugger
Facehuggers play a very important role and help to expand your ever-growing hive. The user can either send the facehugger to a victim or bring the victim to them but they can’t leave the hive area for long. Using a Carrier Alien, you take six Facehuggers into battle and release them onto the enemies. There’s also the Praetorian Facehugger which come from Praetorian Eggs – they are more armoured and can roam from the hive for longer. When upgraded – Binary Parasitism – Develops a chemical trigger that causes the Chestburster it carries to split into twins but only for the Drone and Runner aliens.
Chestburster
Chestbursters are the next step in becoming a fully-grown alien and are as weak as Facehuggers. They are unable to move after they’ve broken free from the original host and must be protected at all costs. It only takes a few seconds for the Chestburster to transform into a cocoon state and then evolve into an adult alien but if it emerges from the host in the hive, it will be well protected by other aliens but if it emerges elsewhere, you must have at least one alien protecting it. The adult alien you get depends on what host you facehugged and Chestbursters cannot upgrade themselves.
Drone
Drone Aliens are probably the weakest species of Alien because they haven’t got much armour to protect themselves from heavy attacks. Drone Aliens are created by infecting Oswocs and can lay down Hive Nodes. When upgraded – Cystic Acid Spittle – Can spit on potential hosts where cysts invade the body and cause acid-induced wounds. Causes tumors that uses a host’s body to generate nutrients beneficial to transbreed Chestburster development. Adult transbreed aliens from cystically infected hosts are tougher. These cystic aliens have a red streak running along its head.
Runner
Runner Aliens are the fastest out of the group and they are not bad when it comes to fighting an enemy. They attack by biting the enemy and also have a different pounce attack which raises the damage of the first attack. When exposed to heat, its skeleton expands inwards causing it to burst and sends shrapnel into targets. It’s produced by Kurn or Krilitics. When upgraded – Virulence – Develops stinger-tipped venom sacs and when in contact with enemy, it injects spores into victim so it can track the weak prey.
Warrior
Warrior Aliens are the most versatile fighters and can easily adapt to the situation at hand. They are suitable to battle a wide range of opponents and are created by infecting humans. Its pressurized bloodstream means it can explode when killed with anything other than fire. Note there is a Cystic Warrior which can be created by upgrading a drone and bringing a human in for impregnation. When upgraded – Onslaught Genome – Develops hardened chitinous ridges that enable it to penetrate tough armors. It can continue even if limbs are lost and improves capacity to regenerate on hive webbing.
Carrier
Carrier Aliens are formed from an upgraded Praetorian and they can hold a maximum of six Facehuggers on their backs. When it nears enemies, Facehuggers automatically launch themselves at the enemy with great accuracy. When upgraded – Supercarrier Genome – Can hold a maximum of 12 Facehuggers. If the Carrier gets killed, it bursts apart spewing acid everywhere.
PredAlien
The PredAliens are very strong in terms of armour but unfortunately they are very slow to manoeuvre about. PredAliens are created by impregnating Predators and have high endurance so they can withstand many attacks before they are killed. PredAliens can also heal automatically when they’re not being attacked. Note there is a Cystic PredAlien with 150 more health points which can be created by upgrading a drone and bringing a human in for impregnation. When upgraded – Predatory Growth Response – In combat, it receives growth hormones and when there’s enough, it transforms into a tougher PredAlien.
Ravager
Ravager Aliens are formed from an upgraded Praetorian and they are the most powerful aliens out of all the alien species. The downside to the Ravager is that once it kills its prey, the prey can’t be used as a host for Facehuggers. This means when a Ravager kills an enemy, the opponent is dead indefinitely. Possess Hull Blades that are very tough and can cut through anything. When upgraded – Colossal Resilience – Has a hard chitinous shell that deflects medium weapon fire. Can perform a rapid restoration process called regensis. A damaged Ravager can enter a cataleptic state so instead of dying, it will rebuild itself.
Praetorian
Praetorians are right up there with Ravager Aliens for being the strongest. They are very quick and can do masses amounts of damage to opponents. A Praetorian can transform into the Queen but only if the original Queen is killed. These aliens also release spores onto enemies to track them. When upgraded – Speciated Metamorphosis – Can transform into either a Carrier or a Ravager Alien.
Queen
The Queen Alien is the most important Alien on the map. There is only one Queen on your team which you must protect. The Queen can produce Alien Eggs by excreting an eggsack but she cannot move or attack enemies while on the eggsack. While attacking enemies, she completely kills the victim which means it can’t be used as a host to create more aliens. She also releases spores to track targets. When upgraded – War Empress – Improves combat abilities and becomes tougher. Makes nearby transbreed aliens in a combat frenzy therefore inflicting more damage on targets.
Hive Nodes
The Alien Hive Nodes possess the ability to restore health to aliens but only two alien types can make a Hive Node. The first is the Drone Alien and the second is the Queen Alien (through the eggsack) so make sure you have a few Drones in your team when travelling. They also cost 50 infestation points but Hive Nodes are extremely useful to have in the levels. Hive Nodes leech nutrients from the ground to create a hive webbing where aliens can regenerate and they make it possible for Facehuggers to venture further out.
Other Things
PredQueen
The PredQueen didn’t evolve from a PredAlien as I originally thought. It was created by Dr. Kadinsky of Weyland Yutani when he combined predator DNA with an alien queen’s DNA. The PredQueen acts like the regular Queen but has much more health – 2500 health points. It’s much browner in colour and appears in the final Predator mission.
K-Series Aliens
K-Series Aliens appear through the missions and have been engineered by human scientists. They are exactly like regular alien species but are yellow in colour. It is unknown if they have the exact same stats as regular aliens and also have the same abilities when upgrading themselves.
