Wrist Blades
The Wrist Blade is the weapon of choice for most Predators. Twin blades with jagged double edges and sharp enough to tear through bone, are effective against large and small opponents. Using the Wrist Blades show Predator pride, because they prefer melee combat fights.
Plasma Caster
The Plasma Caster is a mounted and lightweight weapon capable of firing multiple long-range energy burst of charged plasma. The power of the plasma burst can be adjusted manually, ranging from a minor setting to a blast powerful enough to breach interstellar craft.
The plasma caster is controlled via a targeting system in the helmet, and tracks with the head movement of the firer. It can be used with a Laser Sight to increase targeting capacity, and is fired either by a mandible-controlled trigger in the helmet or by the forearm-mounted control panel
Combi-Stick
The Combi-Stick is a self-powered telescoping spear that is merely one meter at its shortest length, but extends by two meters at each end.
The combi-staff makes a formidable weapon for close range attacks, due to its length customisation.
Shuriken
Another advanced piece of technology, very similar in characteristics to the Smart Disc. The Shuriken is carried and transported as a flat circular device, but the push of its surface transforms it into a multi-pointed, sharp edged throwing star. Also like the Smart Disc, it is self-charged by an internal power supply.
The Shuriken can be thrown at an opponent, or used in hand-to-hand combat if necccesary, cutting through many substances with its many razor edges. When thrown, internal computer-controlled gyros (or possibly a remote homing device) returns the Shuriken to its wielder.
Self-Destruct Device
There are many uses for the wrist console panel, such as changing vision modes, firing the Plasma Caster, or accessing the Sat-com; but its final use comes when the hunter is mortally wounded or inescapably trapped -- the self-destruct mechanism.
This weapon of last resort is used by warriors both as a method to perform honourable suicide to keep their honor in death, and also remove any evidence of their existence.
After the device has been set, decreasing numerals on the wrist console serve as a warning that the bomb is about to explode. There is a short countdown until the detonation of a micro-nuclear explosion, destroying an area equivalent to 300 city blocks.
Laser Nets
The laser net is a flat triangular-shaped device that, when deployed, automatically secures itself against a solid surface. When remotely activated, the device produces beams that spans a void until making contact with another solid surface. The lasers do not damage that surface, only slicing through organic materials. When two or more nets are placed across from each other they create a laser 'grid', allowing nothing through but the smallest of creatures.
Whip
A segmented hand-held bull whip that wraps around a target, and once pulled taut is capable of cutting it in half. Resistant to Xenomorph acid, due to its possible construction of a Xenomorph's tail.
Ceremonial Dagger
The Ceremonial Dagger is a relatively new discovery, associated with the Blooding Rites of young Warriors. Its primary use is to remove the protective layer of skin of a Xenomorph, but could also be used as a close-contact weapon if need be. The Blade itself is made of either the bones or the 'resin' of a Xenomorph, making it resistant to their acidic blood.
Net Gun
The Net Gun is small and usually reserved for ambushing a group of prey, when entering a major combat area and the temporary incapacitation of a subject is necessary.
The net gun is not a projectile weapon, instead launches a web of razor-sharp wire powerful enough to propel a target to the floor/wall and pin them there, viciously cutting into the flesh.
If the target tries to struggle the damage increases, and this keeps up until the subject is released or is killed. The net can also release on a trigger from the weapon.
Gauntlet Plasma Bolt
This is undoubtably a retro-fit weapon installed by the warrior, as the weapon's use has only been recorded once. His choice was a Wrist Gauntlet projectile - either some type of self-propelled rocket, or more likely a plasma energy bolt. This was the only remaining projectile weapon remaining after the warrior's Shoulder Cannon was disabled.
