A new DLC has just dropped for the asymmetrical mutiplayer game Predator: Hunting Grounds! The Hunting Party DLC Pack 2 contains two original female Predators: ‘Amazon’ & ‘Pirate.’ As the name suggests, this is the second multi-Predator pack after the original Hunting Party bundle featuring Mr. Black, Falconer, and ‘Captured’ Predator
Amazon Predator
An incredibly prolific hunter first observed operating deep in the jungles of Brazil. She’s notable for her number of confirmed non-human kills, indicating she has either a resolute hunting code or is easily bored.
Pirate Predator
A rare, perhaps unique, Predator, she eschews the protection of the jungle for the challenge of the open sea. A scourge of great ocean hunters, she’s inspired more than one seafarer’s tale of monsters from the deep.
There was a question among fans as to if things have fully wrapped up with Predator: Hunting Grounds, as it had passed the usual every other month timeframe for updates. Though with Illfonic launching their new Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed game, it was likely all hands on deck for that one during October. But it seems as though the battle continues with these new Preds joining the fray.
These new Predators release with Patch 2.44 but they are the only updates in the patch. Two additional Predators – Celtic & Tank – as well as the Tracker Predator’s mask have previously been datamined, so hopefully those will be making an appearance next.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for new concept art of these Predators from Ivan Dedov, who did conceptual work for all of the game’s original Predators.
Hunting Party DLC Pack 2 is available for purchase on the PlayStation Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store for $6.99/£5.79.

I think so.
Kind of weird with Celtic coming down the line. His helmet is in-game and you can recreate the scar. The only AVP (barring Requiem's Bone Grill) predators to not have an in-game helmet now is the Elder and the flashback helmets. That is of course assuming they're not silly about it and have a post-Grid helmet for the class.
Mr.Black comes to mind about helmets unlocking early, but Celtic will essentially stand on his own for his pack.
Edit - so there is a couple of bullet points in the patch notes. Outside the specializations it does not state anything was changed even though they did. 4 new masks for those who are interested (Scar bizarrely is Sempi and is 25,000).
No problem. Not a surprise, like you said happened before, and might happen again with Pirate/Amazon when I guess Celtic or Tank come next. But they will never nerf OP DLC FT classes like Dante
To be honest, the classes have good stats but FT is still so OP that it isn't really enough to compete.
Oh, and thanks to Samhain13's videos for reveling the truth. They nerfed Bionic in the stealth patch with no patch notes. I used to respect the devs before I knew what they were doing. They have been regularly releasing new predators with OP stats, that get nerfed once a new pred dlc comes which is intentionally OP again until the cycle repeats. So they change the pred you bought. And you bought it for the good stats, and now they're gone, and the next pred has OP stats on purpose. That's disgusting from the devs. It's not enough that you're making unbalanced, pay to win Pred dlc characters, you have the nerve to nerf them later so that we'd buy the new pay to win pred? Awful...
The new Pirate has infinite energy when clocked and thermal, which Bionic used to have until this new release. Now Amazon has the stamina of Scout, health of berserker, but perk points of Scout making her OP. But you can't get them cause of how they play, their stats, cause the devs will nerf the preds when the next one arrives if this trend is anything to go by. (Previously happened to City Hunter and Cleopatra, again thanks to Samhain13 for getting this out in the open)
The stealth patch was nerfing the Bionic Predator
So it's looking pretty likely Celtic is it. Without any future leaks I'm not sure if they're going to support the game any further since it seems they're speedrunning the end of the content cycle. I almost feel like we should warn the Ghostbuster people cause this is what they're in for.
It's a shame because I honestly love the art direction on these two. Especially pirate as she has a new head and the art direction on the armor is while silly still pretty fun. But she and Amazon have only the one specialization and near as I can tell play identically. I'm not sure why they're forcing it out the door either other than to get the content cycle over and done with. It feels like such a waste as Predator A.I or even just using them in custom games offline would go far longer to extending shelf life of the game. Why buy all of these if you can't use them when the servers inevitably go offline?
