Hunting Party Pack 3
Celtic
One of three Young Blood Yautja brothers sent to hunt Xenomorphs on Earth as part of an initiation ritual. The largest and oldest of the brothers, Celtic was looked upon as the leader, but he unfortunately met an untimely end when his overconfidence got the better of him, and he never became Blooded.
Chopper
One of three Young Blood Yautja brothers sent to hunt Xenomorphs on Earth as part of an initiation ritual. The middle of the three, Chopper was eager for the hunt yet easily distracted by human prey, which ultimately led to him being ambushed and killed by a Xenomorph.
Scar
One of three Young Blood Yautja brothers sent to hunt Xenomorphs on Earth as part of an initiation ritual. Scar was the youngest, but showed the most restraint when it came to strategy and patience. He was able to kill a Xenomorph, thus being the only one to become Blooded, and with human assistance he even went on to destroy a Xenomorph Queen. During the battle he was mortally wounded, but before expiring he was impregnated by a Facehugger, making way for a new hybrid breed dubbed “Predalien.”

Patch Notes 2.44/2.45 (November 2022)
HUNTING PARTY DLC PACK 2
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.
