This article contains a list of weapons and equipment used by the Yautja race.

Contents

Weapons

Wrist Blade

As part of their warrior custom, the Yautja are always armed and their wrist blades are linked to their biology to such an extent that the removal of these device causes pulmonary arrest in the hunter risking their death. (Alien versus Predator 2 game)

Another important role of the wrist blade is its capability to serve as a connection point to help recharge the Yautja's equipment. This works by driving the blades into a power oonduit where the bblades help channel to replenish their energy reserves. (Predator: Concrete Jungle)

Ceremonial Dagger

Certain Yautja hunters carry ceremonial daggers which they are used to skin their prey once they are disabled or killed. (Alien versus Predator movie)

Whip

Maul

Netgun

The netgun fires a razor sharp net that encompasses the prey and traps them towards the wall. The bolts that propel the net to the wall where they drill into the wall and begin contracting which begins to bleed the prey due to the strong material its made of which even knives are incapable of breaking. However, a Xenomorph appears capable of breaking from the net though suffers from scars as a result of the encounter. (Alien versus Predator movie)

Glaive

These are weapons used as an alternative to the combistick and are very similar to those weapons but possess a large blade on each end rather then strong pointed tips. This allows them to be used much like a sword but with a cutting blow rather than a bone crushing spear. This can be used either single-handed or double handedly. (Predator: Concrete Jungle)

Combistick

The Spear Master wields a single weapon - its spear. It is exceedingly sharpand resilient, though it does not have the armor-cleaving abilities of a wrist blade. The spear's advantage is that it can parry melee attacks, smacking aside claw and tooth as if they were hardly relevant. This only works on less skilled or smaller oponents, however - a sweeping Ravager hull blade simply cannot be stopped by a creature as small as a Predator, no matter how skilled it might be.

Veteran Spear Masters acquire the deadly plasma glaive as a symbol of their status. this double-bladed weapon eethes with white hot plasma that burns through enemy armor, giving it greater penetration power than a standard spear. The plasma glaive automatically increases as power output in proportion to the number of enemies it is striking. During the execution of a whilrwind battle method, this power output calibration can add significantly to the overall damage inflicted. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Plasma Scythe

According to Predator law, this eminently dangerous weapon can only be wielded by those who have earned the right to bear it. When it strikes, its blade leaves wounds filled with seething dark plasma. Dark plasma triggers a controlled energy reaction that causes damage in proportion to the mass of the target, enabling the weapon to kill any enemy, regardless of its power, with no more than four hits. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Shuriken

These weapons behave similarly to the smar disc but consist of a circular base with retractable blades that open in a carved manner. While normally a thrown weapon, these shurikens can also be used in melee combat with a single strike capable of killing prey. They were immune to Xenomorph blood allowing them to be used continously after use against that prey species. The blades themselves are also strong enough to break a Xenomorph Queens head crest armor but cannot actually fatally wound the creature. (Alien versus Predator movie) They are also capable of impaling a fully grown Human high up on the wall. (Alien versus Predator Requiem)

The blades extend and retract when the Yautja flicks his arm with it being held at his finger tips.

Smart Disc

The Predator disc is dangerous because of its capabilities against large numbers of enemies, it has a razor sharp edge, unerring mental guidance system, and the ability to continue flight after its initial impact. Because of these atttributes, a competant Disc Master can be expected to quickly damage many targets, no matter how agile they might be. Moreover, the disc is initially thrown with sufficient force to drive back those opponents without substantial armor or large size.

When upgraded, the Disc Master gains a set of nine nanovibronic discs. These discs possess a highspeed molecular chainsaw around their circumference that can tear through even hardened composite armos. Worse, each Disc Master is trained in the art of Ka'Ri, or 'death from within.' This involves ebedding three nanovibronic discs in an armored opponent and activating each disc's 'haywire mode'. Needless to say, few enemies far well with berserk ripping machines embedded in their internals. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

The Smart Disc had a homing quality to it allowing a hunter using its vision mode to lock on a target and send the blade which tracks its prey. When used, it was possible for the disc to be recalled remotely allowing it to return to the Yautja's hand for further usage however this uses up the hunters energy reserves. (Alien versus Predator 2 game)

Remote Bomb

These are small disc shaped devices a number of which are equipped by a Yautja. These bombs when activated open two blades by the side after which they are thrown at a location where they are fixed. These bombs remain inactive until they are remotely detonated from the hunters wrist computer. (Alien versus Predator 2 game)

Plasma Pistol

Scatter gun

Spear gun

The Stalker's spear gun is an unusually potent weapon, first, it enables the Stalker to fire at opponents from extreme range. Second, its strike is hard to trace its firing point - the weapon's impact reveals firing direction, but little else. Third, it produces no detectable phenomena at its firing point, enabling the Stalker to fire at enemies from close range without fear of being detected.

When upgraded, the Stalker's weapon becomes a monstrous thing, designed to entrance the drama of the hunt at the cruel expense of its victims. Standard spears are replaced with 'bleeder spears'; hideously barbed harpoons that drain their victims vital fluid levels to just above the point of death. This makes prey more satisfying to hunt bringing once mighty prey to a pathetic state, bleeding profusely, almost crawling to escape - to many predators, this is the essence of any epic hunt. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

These spears can be retrieved by the hunter and reused as ammunition for later use. They were made of an unknown material that was superior to monofilament technology (Alien versus Predator 2 game) The ammunition was extremely light and made of alloys unknown to mankind. (Predator 2)

Plasma Caster

The plasma caster is a long range energy projector capable of guiding armor-penetrating plasma bolts at distant targets. Morever, the weapon's bolts explode in a burst of plasma shranel that damages other enemies near the point of impact. By default, the weapon's attack range is greater than the Hunter's visual range. Predator vision modes changes this relationship, however, enabling the Hunter to act as a sniper.

A bio-scanner and a multi-barreled fring mechanism enable this wapon to analyze targets and attack them with various types of plasma munitions. There are three kinds; burst plasma, fire plasma and dark plasma. Burst plasma is identical to that fired by the plasma caster. Fir plasma ignites targets. And dark plasma causes a controlled energy reaction that correlates its damage to the mass of the target, enabling the weapon to kill any enemy with a limited number of hits. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

A Yautja is capable of taking another dead hunters plasma caster and equipping it on their person giving them a dual plasma caster weapon allowing them to fire two shots at different targets. If the shoulder caster is damaged, the Yautja can fashion a scatter gun from the remains. (Alien versus Predator: Requiem)

Blazer

The blazer is a shoulder-mounted energy projector that fires a sweeping inferno beam. Hotter than many stars at its core, an inferno beam works by instantly heating objects it touches to the point of spontaneous combustion. Given this ability, the weapon is designed to hit as many enemies as possible by sweeping in large arcs across its primary target. Since it does not need to be aimed with such precision, the Blazer can continue to fire even while on the move.

When upgraded, the Blazer Predator mounts a set of two linked blazers, one on each shoulder. The dual blazers coordinate their fire in order to maximize the damage they inflict, by keeping as many enemies on fire as possible. With this upgrade, a single Blazer Predator can set an entire enemy platoon on fire in seconds. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Electroshock Missile Battery

The Hydra's weapon is its back-mounted personal missile battery, which rapidly fires guided electroshock missiles at enemies within a 350 degree arc. These missiles unerringly seek their target before delivering an armor-penetrating electroshock plasma warhead. This warhead jolts the sensory systems of whatever target is has, causing extra damage to non-Predator enemies with particularly advanced detection capabilities.

If a Hydra is engaging more than a handful of enemies, it may determine that it is necessary to unlash a fullscale missile barrage. When this happens, the Hydra fires a missile at every target within its visual range, frequently resulting in a truly overwhelming storm of projectiles. Given the energy requirements it places on he Hydra's systems, this maneuver can only be performed periodically, and even then, only when the Hydra is not cloaked.

When upgraded, the Hydra fires electroshock missiles with multiple warheads. When a missile nears its target, it checks to see whether other enemies are within range of its warheads. If so, the missile splits into as many as three separate sub-missiles, each capable of independently striking a different target. This upgrade can cause a Hydra shock barrage to release a mind-boggling number of independent warheads. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Armor

Plate Armor

"Hard Meat" Armor

The Hard Meat Armor is fashioned from the remains of the body of a Xenomorph whose acid proof exoskeleton provides a level of protection against the voracious aliens. While useful in such battles, they were incapable of providing much protection against a Xenomorph queen.

The veteran warrior Dacande made use of this armor.

Phoenix Armor

As a rite of passage, every aspiring Spear Master must kill a Vy'drach (Phoenix) with only a spear. This winged beast livesin the infernal deserts of the Predator homeworld, surviving heat and radiation strong enough to bake most life forms. It the Predator kills the Vy'drach, its hide is fashioned into armor its nemesis wears for life. Like the Vydrach itself, this armor is uniquely resilient to fire, energy, and radiation.

A special armor-working process applied to the conductive vessels in Vy'drach scales enables the Spear Master to recharge its energy supply when struck by fire or energy-based attacks. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Tactical Supremacy Armor

Like all military-grade Predators, the Hydra wears tactical supremacy armor. This widely feared protective suit provides its wear with substantial defenses against kinetic, fire and acid damage. Its exceptional hardness also deflects outright any projectiles not specifically designed to penetrate armor. Consequently, enemies must make a concetrated effort to defeat any Predators possessing this defensive system. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)

Equipment

Mask

One of the more important roles of the mask was its capability to highlight the battlefield in different vision modes allowing the hunter a greater capacity to track prey. These include:

  • Thermal vision - where the targets heat signature is detected and typically used to track Humans.
  • Electromagnetic vision - this vision mode aids in the tracking of Xenomorphs.
  • Predtech vision - used to locate technology and other Predators.
  • Neuro vision - scans the neurological state of the prey and determines their state of mnd.

The shape and appearance of the mask varies on the hunter though some possess more ornamental markings and are used by the noble born in Yautja society. (Alien versus Predator 2)

Wrist Computer

Self Destruct Device

Energy Sift

Its possible to recharge a Yautja's energy reserves by driving their wrist blade into a power unit which channels the energy into the low reserves. (Predator: Concrete Jungle)

Medicomp

Tag

These are small devices that are used by the Yautja hunter when they want to track prey continously where they serve as bait rather then kill them outright. The tag are small cirular tracking devices with the bottom portion of the machine coated with hook-like barbs which are inserted beneath the prey's skin in order to prevent their removal. (Predator: Concrete Jungle comic)

Laser Nets

Solvent

The solvent was a vial of blueish liquid which was capable of dissolving any form of organic life. This serves as an effective tool in clean up operations as a few drops of the liquid can remove any evidence. If spilt into a large pool of water, the solvent acts violently and dissolves living tissue and consumes the volume of liquid leaving nothing behind. (Alien versus Predator: Requiem)

Killscreen Generator

Given its duty to lead the charge against even technically advanced enemies, the Vanguard requires a defensive system to protect against enemy fire. That system is the killscreen generator. The protection spines on this weapon emit unstable streams of dark plasma particles that vaporize incoming enemy projectiles. The killscreen can only vaporize so much mass per unit time, however, enabling enemies to overwhelm the system with large numbers of projectiles. (Alien versus Predator: Extinction)
