** Still, Predators standing completely still are next to impossible to notice. It's not uncommon for a Fireteam members to stand directly in front of a stationary Predator and not even realise they're there.

* VisibleInvisibility: The Predator's cloak doesn't conceal them completely: it creates a distinct blur from the light bending around their bodies. Eagle-eyes Fireteam members can spot a cloaked Predator by watching out for this blur.

''Predator: Hunting Grounds'' is an AsymmetricMultiplayer game based on the ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' film franchise. It is developed by Illfonic, of ''VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame'' fame. It is slated for release on Playstation 4 and PC via the Epic Game Store in April 2020.

* AsymmetricMultiplayer: Four of the players play as a group of soldiers like in a normal first person shooter while the fifth plays the Predator, who is far stronger, can take more damage, and can move around the map extremely agilely. While the Predator can easily slaughter the soldiers one on one, they can be taken down by sustained fire if they're not careful.

** Assault: [[JackOfAllTrades Well-rounded soldiers who can do well in a variety of situations.]]
** Scout (Fireteam): Nimble soldiers who use their agility to outmaneuver their enemies.
** Recon: Long-range combatants who use powerful weapons to kill enemies from safe distances.
** Support: Heavily-armored specialists whose skills revolve around aiding other Fireteam members with ammo drops and medkits.
** Hunter: [[JackOfAllTrades Predators who strike a balance between strength, agility, endurance, and energy recharging rate]].
** Scout (Predator): [[FragileSpeedster Fleet-footed Predators who compensate their physical frailty with greater agility and larger energy reserves to hunt from over range.]]
** Berserker: [[MightyGlacier Powerful Predators who compensate for their sluggish mobility with overwhelming strength to slay their prey in close quarters.]]

* MonogenderMonsters: Subverted: for the first time outside the comics, female Predators are prominently featured.

* EscapeSequence: Once the Fireteam completes their missions, they must get to the chopper and escape.

* LaserSight: The Predator's Plasma Caster projects three laser beams to help with aim. This makes the weapon lethally accurate, but can also give the Predator's position away.

* TakingYouWithMe: If the Predator runs out of health, they can trigger their SelfDestructMechanism in a last-ditch effort to wipe out the Fireteam.

The game pits a Fireteam of up to four players against one player who takes the role of the titular alien hunter. The Fireteam is tasked with completing various objectives, from collecting key items to clearing out enemy encampments, and escaping with their lives. The Predator, conversely, is tasked with hunting down the members of the Fireteam and claiming their trophies. The Predator has advantages in mobility, capable of leaping over vast distances and reaching areas humans can't, in addition to a variety of technological gadgets and weapons, from [[InvisibilityCloak optical cloaking]] and [[InnateNightVision thermal imaging]] to [[BladesBelowTheElbow wrist-blades]] and the deadly [[PlasmaCannon Plasma Caster]]. The Fireteam, on the other hand, must leverage their numbers and weapons to drive off the Predator and complete their missions. Should the Predator find itself on the verge of death, they can attempt to finish off the Fireteam in one last-ditch effort by setting off their [[SelfDestructMechanism self-destruct device]] and wiping them out. If the Fireteam manages to kill the Predator before they can trigger their self-destruction, however, they can receive bonus rewards for protecting the alien's cadaver for the Other Worldly Life Forms Program.
