It’s been a little quiet on Predator: Hunting Grounds front, with the last patch for the game back in June, enhancing the Wolf Predator model, adding an original mask, and implementing fixes. The last paid DLC class was the Emissary in April.
But now a new piece of Paid DLC has arrived in Predator: Hunting Grounds, The Bionic Predator! This is an original cyborg Predator that reminds us of the old ‘Lasershot’ Kenner figure! It’s also been some time since we’ve seen one of the original designs from Illfonic, with the last being the ‘Exiled’ Predator that released last October.
“Despite sustaining serious injuries in the field, this Predator’s will to live fueled its return to the field. Now, you can become an evolved hunter as the new Bionic Predator. This DLC pack includes the Bionic Predator premium class.
I actually really like the look of this original Predator. The model, predlocks, and mask are all intricately detailed, the Predator even sporting cybernetic prosthetic limbs and a glowing red eye.
Also part of this update is a new mask which is free for all players, the bone mask worn by the ‘Feral’ Predator in the recently released Prey!
While it’s great to have this mask in the game, we can’t help but wish for a full Feral class!
The 2.42 update is live to download. The patch notes are pretty minimal for this one:
Paid DLC
- New Playable Predator – Bionic
Free Content
- New Predator mask “Bone” is now available
- Available at level 1
- Nearly all the available tints are also unlocked by default
There are four additional Predator classes which have been datamined but have yet to appear in the game: Celtic, and three original Predators: ‘Tank,’ along with two new Female Predators ‘Pirate’ & ‘Amazon.’ Hopefully we’ll see these additional classes next! Beyond those classes we’ve seen more datamines including the Scar and Tracker masks that still haven’t shown. We’re continuing to enjoy the game so here’s hoping there’s more to come!
The Bionic Predator is available for purchase on the PlayStation Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Someone really reuploaded that old footage of an alternative tutorial mode and wrote "Leaked Singleplayer" on the title for some youtube clickbait attempt huh
Can't recall if this is the same footage from before.
Bionic looks pretty good, I hope this isn't the last of the DLC and I'm still betting on some kind of Ultimate Edition in the end.
Doing something that requires a bit of effort is having Wolf be on model, releasing the shuriken, or fixing texture problems. But a new map with missions, geometry, textures, alternate health pickups, it's all something you'd at best get out of an expansion pack. That could never be done as free DLC.
They did try Clash. Nobody liked that. Because TTK in this game is based around fighting Predator. It does not mesh with fighting other players like in a COD match.
That's such a shame. This game has so so much potential but comes across they can't be bothered to do anything unless it's paid dlc skins. So so much that could have been added but essentially all we got was paid for mods using already established models.
I will never buy the whole "we don't know how to make predour work in a city" bs
They were given a massive box of lego to play with but couldn't be bothered after they made a few things to put any effort into other stuff.
This needs a NECA figure.
Unless there are any massive game-breaking bugs that crop up in the future, there won't be any more bug fixes, balance changes, new weapons, maps, game modes or anything substantial beyond these new Predators.
As for Bionic, I really like him! They really stepped it up a notch with this model like Superior Ironman said. Feels like the complete opposite reaction to when Wolf came out and had all those issues with his model.
And he seems like a good, well-rounded class to play as too. Definitely a really cool Predator.
Also Ferals mask looks terrible on anything thar isn't JH or the base 3 classes

Dig Bionic myself.
And the Feral mask looks pretty spot on to me, just the mandibles are not resting where they were purported to in the marketing image.
Shai Daniel is the guy I was thinking of!

Not that they'd do anything special for the anniversary, I meant that the next batch of DLC by then might have Feral on said list. According to some tests ran by people over on the Illfonic forums things have been adjusted it just wasn't listed. Not many changes so far but they did make some changes which isn't uncommon for them. They really should put it in the patch notes but it's been a known thing they leave that out.
And what you mean by keep up with releases? 3 months and 1 random new pred and no bug fixes, balances.
