Predator: Prey surprised audiences and critics. The story, with a well-constructed and well-executed plot, is a fresh addition to the franchise. And as if that wasn’t enough pays homage to the entire mythology of the saga. From the fact that a predator can only be defeated by cunning, not force, to famous female characters. But he also did something else. Show off the full potential of the Predator as a character with a repertoire of weapons that won’t go unnoticed.
A new arsenal that showed that the culture of the Yautja Predators is still a mystery, and this moment has always been paramount for fans. Until now, all previous productions have more or less indirectly talked about the habitat, abilities and customs of creatures. But in the Disney + production, the idea of \u200b\u200bhis abilities much wider and more complex. Particularly because of the terrible way in which his adaptability and physical strength are being tested.
On this occasion, manufacturers developed a completely new weapon that performed two functions. On the one hand, to demonstrate the fighting ability of the Yautzha in open areas and in a different era than the one we have seen so far. On the other hand, an alpha hunter is a creature with enough intelligence and physical strength to face any enemies in their natural space.
Prey is available exclusively on Disney+ and Star+.

If something surprised Predator: Prey this is how Trachtenberg thought about strength and fighting with bare hands against a superior opponent. And an important part of that aspect of the story was the weapons that the Predator had at his disposal.
We bring you the new attack and defense team featured in Predator: Prey. An addition to thank the ever-expanding universe of the saga.
Bracelets, this time with modifications
In various parts of the franchise, one of the main items in the Predator’s arsenal has been his iconic metal bracelets. In most cases, they include everything from countdown devices, portable bombs, and even sharp retractable blades. Gloves first appeared on the scene in 1987 in the first film of the saga.
Per Predator: Prey, the plot returns the weapon, but adds the possibility of transformation in a portable low power pump. It also adds drones with built-in blades and, on top of that, an always effective healing kit. Finally, this time around, production has teamed up with a retractable, double-edged long blade capable of cutting through metal.
disintegrant gas
One of the most memorable scenes predator 2 This is the Yautja trophy room. In the film, Danny Glover’s character discovers that the hunters are keeping the skulls of their prey, including an alien skull. Predator: Prey for the first time includes what tool the hunter uses to get the symbols for his many wins.
In one of the sequences the predator kills the wolf and takes the severed head of the animal into the cave. He then sprays the severed part with gas that emanates from his bracelet, which immediately destroys anything covering the bone. A technique that would most certainly be part of his combat gear, though not specifically shown in the story.
Arrows with laser pointer
Yautja from Predator: Prey This is the first one that does not carry the Plasma Cannon on the shoulder used in other shipments. Instead, it carries what appears to be an older version of the hardware. This is a set of metal arrows one meter long with open ends that also use a laser pointer for accuracy.
The novelty is that three dots of red light – traditional in Predator mythology – lead to weapons in real time. In other words, wherever the fatal pointer points, it will be destroyed by the arrow, through whatever obstacle it may have to pass. Another innovative point is that the pointer comes from the helmet and continues to work even if the predator is not using it.
telescopic metal lance
The version is larger than arrows, the spear has the appearance of a double-sided harpoon with a central slot. In addition, it has a retractable body that can be divided into two halves with sharp ends.
This caveat allows the Predator to fight the enemy in two different ways. Either when using the weapon to block melee attacks, or as two short blades in frontal combat.
The first version of the net network
The clean grid in Predator previously appeared in predator 2 D alien vs. Predator. But this time the mechanism seems to predate the version known to the public.
This is from at least several meters larger in diameter and black metallic threads. The padding on the screen is also how the mechanism works. A lower capsule capable of absorbing pressure until the filaments turn into deadly blades.
retractable dagger
Yautja center of dispute in Predator: Prey use a small and functional dagger that can be detached from the bracelet. Also, make it twice the size of the original. This allows the hunter to use the weapon to cut metal – such as when hitting a metal trap – or directly. Throw it at the enemy.
retractable shield
AT Predator: Prey, the hunter has a metal shield that rises straight from the glove. Thanks to its rounded shape, can be thrown like a disc from a distance and it is sharp enough to cut all kinds of materials. From wood, metal, to human bodies, the tool uses the protection mode.
As if that weren’t enough, the shield is able to stay intact against any aggression, from both bullets and knives. In one of the scariest scenes in the film, the Yautja throws it at the enemy. He not only beheads him, but also cuts down the tree with which he tried to protect himself.
Deployable laser discs
The hunter’s bracelets this time hold more surprises than you might expect. And one of them is three rotating and floating disks that move horizontally and with a sharp metal edge. The Predator can program them through the glove for direction and strength.. Something that became clear during his battle with the French trappers and how he used tools as a peripheral weapon.
