Predator has finally arrived in Fortnite
If you are a fan of sci-fi and action movies, you might be familiar with Predator, the alien hunter who makes trophies of men. Well, now you can play as Predator in Fortnite, or hunt him down if you dare. Predator is one of the latest crossover characters to join Fortnite, and he brings a lot of excitement and challenge to the game. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about Predator in Fortnite, including how to get his skin, how to defeat him, and how to hunt other Predators on the island.
What is Predator and why is it in Fortnite?
Predator is a legendary character from a popular sci-fi franchise that started with the 1987 movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Predator is an extraterrestrial warrior who travels across the galaxy hunting various species for sport. He has advanced technology, such as cloaking devices, plasma weapons, and bio-masks that allow him to see in different modes. He also has a code of honor that prevents him from killing unarmed or unworthy prey.
Predator is part of the Jungle Hunter set in Chapter 2 Season 5 Battle Pass, which has a theme of hunters from different realities. He joins other hunters such as The Mandalorian, Kratos, Master Chief, and more. He also fits well with the primal theme of this season, as he is a master of survival and stealth.
Predator has a unique character model that resembles his appearance in the movies. He also has selectable styles that let you choose between wearing his helmet or not. His helmet style comes with a built-in emote called Bio-helmet Online, which allows him to take off his helmet and roar like he did in the original movie.
How to get the Predator skin in Fortnite
If you want to play as Predator in Fortnite, you need to own the Chapter 2 Season 5 Battle Pass and complete the Jungle Hunter quests. These are special quests that are related to Predator and his arrival on the island. They include tasks such as finding his mysterious pod, collecting medkits, talking to certain NPCs, and more. You can find these quests in your quest menu under Jungle Hunter.
The only quest you need to finish to unlock the Predator skin is “defeat Predator”. This means you have to find and kill the Predator boss that spawns in Stealthy Stronghold. This is not an easy task, as he is very powerful and elusive. He can turn invisible, jump around, and shoot plasma bolts at you. He also has a lot of health and shields, so you need to be well-equipped and prepared.
To defeat Predator, you need to go to Stealthy Stronghold, which is a large jungle area in the northwest of the map.
