The Predator
The titular extraterrestrial hunter from the Predator franchise. The Predator's depiction in Wildlands is primarily based on the first film in the series. It appears his spaceship has crash-landed in Bolivia and he's been taking advantage of the regional chaos to hunt combatants from all sides in the conflict.
- Adaptational Badass: Predators are tough but not bullet proof and with the right weapon (such as a shotgun or a sniper rifle) and knowledge, anyone can injure them. This Predator on the other hand can tanked even the strongest weapon you have in your arsenal several times before going down.
- Guest Fighter: A rather unexpected one, though one that somewhat fits with the jungle warfare aesthetic of the game.
- Ironic Echo: As expected, the Predator will occasionally replay sentences he's overheard your team say.Holt: Is that [spaceship] real?!
- Kaizo Trap: Caught in the blast radius of his self-destruct device? Too bad, you'll have to fight him again!
- A defeated Predator's M.O. is typically to set off his self-destruct device, so players already familiar with the franchise should be able to guess what's coming and make a run for it.
- Laser Sight: His plasmacaster has a prominent tri-beam laser when he's aiming it at you. It lets you know that you need to get into cover immediately.
- Made of Iron: It takes about 22 shots from the HTI .50 BMG anti-materiel rifle to kill him. Bear in mind the HTI is the most powerful normal (non-Tier 1) weapon in the game and can kill any other infantry unit, including the most durable boss, with one shot to the pinky toe.
- Mook Horror Show: The teaser trailer
note is shown from the perspective of an unfortunate Santa Blanca thug whose crew was wiped out by the Predator. The player will also find what's left of them during their investigation around Caimanes. It's not pretty... - One-Hit Kill: Both his plasmacaster and smart disc will knock you into the downed state with one hit.
- Outside-Context Problem: The discovery that the Ghost Recon (and the Tom Clancy) series has actual aliens (and the psycho kind) leaves the whole Ghost team flabbergasted.
- Outside-Genre Foe: It's the Predator (sci-fi alien monster) in the Ghost Recon (sort-of-realistic "modern warfare" setting) series.
- Superboss: He's an optional encounter and a lot tougher than any other opponent in the game.
- Taking You with Me: You're supposed to confirm his death, but upon approaching him, he starts his self-destruct sequence. Hopefully you already took a head start when he initiates it! Your AI teammates aren't that lucky though.
- Teleport Spam: His primary fighting style is this; cloaking, using his superhuman jumping ability to leap around the area, and uncloaking to attack.
- Temporary Online Content: As of December 14, 2020, the mission to fight Predator has been removed from the game. Players who has the rewards from beating it keeps them, however.
- Turns Red: The Predator's attacks become increasingly more frequent as he takes more damage.
- Visible Invisibility: Fitting, considering he's one of the Trope Codifiers.
