Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to unlock Predator on Fortnite , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.
Well, Predator arrived within the title of Epic Games during Season 5 of Chapter 2 , or that of The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda , so to speak. It is therefore not the main character of the Season, but users have welcomed him with enthusiasm also because of his unlocking method.
In fact, just as happened in previous Seasons for characters like Wolverine , to get Predator it is necessary to complete specific challenges . Some users therefore see Predator as the “real boss” of Season 5 of Chapter 2, since The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda can be unlocked simply via the Battle Pass.
Speaking of the latter, I remind you that to get Predator it is necessary to have it active. In fact, the challenges are not accessible without the Battle Pass . You can buy it by going to the main screen of the Battle Royale mode, reaching the BATTLE PASS tab and pressing first on the BUY BATTLE PASS button and then on the I WANT BATTLE PASS (or I WANT BATTLE BUNDLE).
I remind you that the common Battle Pass can be purchased at 950 V-Buck , while the Battle Bundle , which includes 25 levels by default , can be obtained at 2800 V-Buck . The latter can be had with a little patience through the rewards of the free Battle Pass or through micro-transactions . 1,000 V-Bucks typically cost 7.99 euros .
You may also be interested in taking a look at the Fortnite Crew subscription , which includes the Battle Pass, 1000 V-Bucks per month and exclusive cosmetic items. The price is € 11.99 per month . For more details on the in-game currency, I invite you to consult my tutorial on how to get V-Buck on Fortnite .
In any case, Predator arrived in the world of Fortnite following John Jones and entering the Zero Point , the space-time gap that gave a show during the Galactus event held in early December 2020. Do not forget the fact that the Zero Point also allowed for characters like Kratos and Master Chief to arrive temporarily.
For the rest, unlike what happened in the past with other characters, Predator arrived on Fortnite about halfway through the season. Season 5 of Chapter 2 of the Epic Games title began in December 2020 and ends in March 2021. Predator arrived in the second half of January 2021 .
This means that the challenges are all already available , as opposed to what happened in the past, where the tasks were unlocked by Epic Games on a weekly basis. Put simply, you don’t have to wait: you can do all the challenges in a row right away.
How to unlock Predator in Fortnite
After explaining the situation to you in general, I would say that it is time to take action and unlock Predator within Fortnite. To do this you will have to face nine challenges, called Jungle Hunter assignments . In reality, it is not necessary to complete all the challenges to get the skin, but it is good to do all the tasks to “complete” it and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
In any case, don’t worry: following the quick instructions that you can find below you shouldn’t have any particular problems. For the rest, you need to know that the challenges can be completed in random order . However, the four extra tasks must be completed after obtaining the Predator skin .
Find the mystery capsule
This mission is very simple once you know the location of the capsule . In fact, it is enough to simply find the latter. This assignment grants you a banner icon .
Well, the capsule is located in Fortress Stealth , more precisely in the upper left part of the map. To be clear, in the direction of the lighthouse, but inside the walls .
You shouldn’t have any trouble finding the capsule, as the latter is in a kind of “islet” surrounded by streams. Among other things, it is located near the wooden houses and sometimes the capsule includes a chest inside.
Just get close to complete this assignment. In short, nothing easier.
Get medkits
This assignment is self-explanatory: all you need to do is find 3 medkits , which is the item that takes you to maximum health, and the challenge is complete. This challenge gives you the Hunter spray with thermal vision .
The only advice I can give you to reach your goal more quickly is that, once you have collected the first medkit, leave it on the ground and collect it again .
By doing so, the counter will go up and you will be able to complete the task in an instant. Among other things, you could also complete this challenge almost “involuntarily”, since for example I finished it simply by playing and trying to complete the other tasks.
Collect legendary or rarer weapons
Another challenge that explains itself is the one related to the legendary or rarer weapon . Just play Fortnite until you find this loot. The assignment grants a loading screen .
A little gem: the game also seems to count fish as weapons for this challenge. This means that if you just can’t find the object involved, you might want to try fishing.
In any case, playing Fortnite normally and looking for some loot you should be able to complete the challenge without problems.
Talk to Beef-boss, Remedy and Dummy
To complete this challenge, you start from an area close to Fortress Stealth , which is where you found the capsule. This assignment grants you an emoticon .
On a hill to the right of the map from the Stealth Keep is a structure where you can find Beef-boss . More precisely, it is a shed that alongside it features a street food truck by Durrr Burger .
I remind you that on the map there is a cartoon icon that indicates the presence of characters: the latter can help you in your “search”. Once found, interact with Boss Beef and it’s time to move on to the next character.
You don’t really need to go very far. From the facility where you found Boss Beef, just go straight down following the map, towards Pacific Park . Just beyond the first big tree you come across, really a few meters from Manzo-boss, you can find Mannequin . Talk to us and it’s time to go to the last character.
Again, you won’t have to go far, as you just need to go right from the place where you found Mannequin and go to the center of the first hill you come across. Here, at the top, you will find a house . Inside there is Remedy : talk to us and that’s it.
In short, it’s all very simple. Where is the catch? The three characters I have indicated to you are actually located in the areas I have illustrated to you, but not always. In fact, their appearance is accidental . For example, in one game you may only find Boss-Beef , while in another there may be only Remedy or Mannequin.
Put simply, unless you are extremely lucky, you may have to play more games and take a look around this area to be able to talk to all three characters. Either way, now that you know where they are, you shouldn’t have any problems completing the assignment.
Defeat Predator
The task that requires you to defeat Predator is the most important of all, as it allows you to get the character skin and thus reach your goal. The game would recommend playing this mission with 4 players , but you can actually do it on your own with a little bit of effort.
To “complete the circle”, you have to go back to where it all began, or to Fortress Stealth , where you originally found the capsule . In fact, wandering around this area, you could be attacked by an enemy that is sometimes “invisible” : it is really Predator.
When you get close to the latter, a special melody plays , which allows you to locate it. You might also think about trying to shoot to lure him, although I haven’t been able to figure out if this can actually work to get attacked.
In any case, Predator’s attacks can take a lot of life and you must therefore be careful , especially if you decide to face the challenge alone. If you want some advice, you should collect some weapons that you know how to use properly before attacking the enemy.
For example, you could think of landing in the house of Remedy , the character I illustrated to you in the previous chapter , and then go to “duel” with Predator. In fact, if there is Remedy in your game, Remedy can sell you Medkits for 24 gold bars . Also, you can usually find chests under the stairs and on the second floor and you shouldn’t have too many problems in terms of loot.
For the rest, the “boss fight” provides that, following an attack, the enemy becomes essentially “invisible” , even if its “trail” can be seen. At this stage I recommend that you try to shoot him from a distance without losing sight of him. Obviously, while you shoot it’s good to follow him .
By doing so, it will take you much less time to defeat him and you will not have to search for him through sounds every time he “disappears”. I remind you that other players are always on the prowl and Predator is a very coveted prey these days. Also, don’t take it too easy, as the storm could come .
In short, you may have to work a little to find and defeat the enemy, as has always been the case for all the other Fortnite “bosses”, but in the end you will get the coveted skin. In addition, the Predator drop also allows you to obtain, for the current game, the Cloaking Device item from Predator , which allows your character to become “invisible” for a few seconds.
Complete a bounty as Predator
Once you get the Predator skin, the challenges related to the latter are not actually over. In fact, it is possible to obtain additional extra items by completing other tasks.
The first challenge of its kind requires you to complete a bounty as Predator . The reward is a decorative back . It is therefore necessary to set the costume just obtained and use it in the Battle Royale. To do this, go to the LOCKER tab , present in the main screen of the game, press on the costume icon (the first in the upper left), select the Predator skin and press the SAVE AND EXIT button .
Once this is done, all you have to do is start a Battle Royale game , talk to one of the NPCs (non-player characters) who can give you bounties , start one and complete it by defeating your prey . If you want some advice, you could think about getting off at the beginning of the game near the Colosseum Colossale .
To his left there is in fact a small house positioned on a raised surface. Inside you can find the Deathfire NPC , which allows you to initiate a bounty. In any case, this area is very interesting: you just need to stay still on the sand to be able to move quickly under it and therefore quickly reach the opponent.
Just remember that the opponent knows he has a bounty on his head and also has a threat bar , which tells him how far you are. In short, try to play your chances well. Either way, you shouldn’t have any particular difficulty completing a bounty as Predator.
Spend 30s within 10m of a player as Predator
This challenge is very simple to complete. In fact, I remind you that the 30 seconds required are not to be done in a single time , but can also be accumulated. Reward is a collection tool .
The easiest way to stay within 10 meters of an opponent for 30 seconds is probably to stay on the battle bus until the end at the start of the game when you can only thank the driver , so that you fall with other players. which could potentially be stopped.
By doing so, you may even be able to complete the objective in the air . Alternatively, playing Battle Royale normally you shouldn’t have too much trouble completing this assignment anyway.
Visit Predator’s apartment in Hunter’s Lair as Predator
The Predator house inside Fortnite could only be found in the Hunter’s Den , where, among other things, there is also the home of The Mandalorian and other characters. The reward for reaching it is the active Biocasco emote , which I recommend you try once it is unlocked.
In any case, the building you need to go to is the one in the upper right of the area, raised above a hill and with openings in the front. More precisely, I recommend that you land, at the beginning of the game, directly inside the apartment, passing through the front openings.
This way, you will be able to take a look at the items related to Predator and complete the challenge in the blink of an eye.
Inflict damage with thermal vision active as Predator
The latest challenge takes a little more effort than most of the previous assignments. In fact, in this case it is necessary to be able to catch a special fish that allows you to have thermal vision. To complete the challenge, you need to do 100 damage . The reward is the Hunter’s Arsenal cover .
If you want some advice, it might be useful to go down at the beginning of the game in the area called the Woodcutter’s Cabin , present in the lower center of the map. Here you shouldn’t have too much difficulty in retrieving a fishing rod , usually present inside a special barrel located near the speedboat.
The hardest part of the challenge is finding the Thermal Fish , which is a Legendary rarity item . The latter is generally found by fishing in the special “water movements” that are created.
Once you have found the Thermal Fish, just use it and for a minute you will see everything in black and white . At this point, you must therefore hit enemies for a total of 100 damage and the task is completed. If you want advice, only use the Thermal Fish when you are sure you can hit an opponent, so you don’t waste it.
Perfect, you have now completed the challenges related to Predator and obtained all the elements related to its skin. To equip the extra elements , just go to the CABINET tab and choose them from the appropriate sections .
For the rest, since you are a fan of the Epic Games title, I would recommend that you take a look at the page of my site dedicated to Fortnite , where you can find many other tutorials that may interest you.
