Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Prey!
The Predator returns in Prey with an assortment of new and familiar weapons. Set hundreds of years before the events of 1987's Predator, the fifth entry in the franchise comes from director Dan Trachtenberg and turns the focus to the Comanche Tribe in 1719. Most of Prey's story revolves around Naru (Amber Midthunder) and her quest to prove she is a capable hunter. Still, there is also the lingering threat of a deadly, mysterious, and often invisible force terrorizing the land around her and her tribe. Of course, it is ultimately revealed that a Predator has arrived on Earth and is now stalking its latest targets.
Throughout the expansion of the Predator franchise, the central Predator hunters have continued to receive new weapons and upgrades. There are always a few constants with the alien design and the weapons they use, though. It would not be a Predator if the cloaking technology was not in play, while the traditional Predator mask with heat vision and a targeting system are also staples of the character. Even with Prey's 1700s setting, the Feral Predator that Naru and the Comanche encounter still features some of the classic equipment. The movie uses some of these to repeatedly tease the Predator's presence on Earth before it ever interacts with Naru or another member of her tribe.
