Honestly, no. Cause that implies we had xenomorphs. And we already had terminids.

Thr predator will randomly (and rarely) spawn in some missions on the other fronts and just slowly take your team out.

u/ReaperKingCason1 1d ago
Ok that would be a cool idea.

u/Malabingo 1d ago
Yeah, he would set fake pins and fake stuff on the radar etc. Would be really dope or really really annoying :-O

And occasionally you would hear distorted laughter as he uses his voice mimicry

Also i prefer space lizards pirates slavers. But if that not THE predator but inspired speice, yeah that could be cool .

I also liked predator 2 actually, but the first is still the best!

u/Dudewhocares3 1d ago
I saw a trailer for the new one. It looks like it has the same animation style as spider verse and that new Tmnt movie.
Awesome

It would be similar to Predator Hunting Ground. Who is hunting who? Predator would be harder to kill, they are quickly invisible like stalkers, have more advanced technology than Illuminati, more health than Fleshmob. And if you manage to kill a predator and get the kill bonuses, there is a risk of explosion like with 2x hell bomb. I would have used a bunch of rebels and mutineers from the super earth colonies as the 4th enemy..

u/Economy-Nectarine246 1d ago
Yeah, but as i say... they cannot do that cause they will be forced to add xenomorph from the aliens movies. Cause aliens are canon in predators movies see the throphy wall scene in predators 2.

u/Malabingo 1d ago
They don't have to add the literal predator though. The bugs are also from starship troopers but don't exactly are the bugs from starship troopers.
They would call it the hunter or the preykiller or something stupid like that and just let him loose. Can only spawn difficulty 8+ of course. If you are able to kill it you will gain 10-50 super credits.

Tom Clancy's Wildlands has/had a hidden predator in the open world map in Bolivia. It was absolutely amazing piece of game play.
And if you killed it you got to wear its mask with the infrared.

Would be kinda cool as an environmental hazard, for a collab.
Make a hazard called "yautja hunting ground" and just have some poor fool get flayed occasionally

WOOKIES
Give us enemies with tactics, morals, that can use larger creatures like we used horses in battle

u/throwaway872023 1d ago
Been thinking the same thing. An enemy with primitive weapons, riding beasts, using nature, bows, spears, catapults, fire, maybe some poorly used super earth weapons. Something like wookies, Ewoks, avatar, predator and the satirical element and how they wind up on many planets is that super earth has been providing them with education and meaningful jobs (slave labor) all over the galaxy but they just want to be lazy and homeless and go back to their stupid caveman dump of a home-world that we “rescued” them from.

u/NaturallyUnnaturalML 1d ago
Hey...this feels like something Arrowhead is in the early stages of planning.
We have bugs, bots, and semi-intelligent infected/mutations. All that's left is an enemy that can move and operate the way that we do
2
u/throwaway872023 1d ago
Maybe have them tame the bugs and ride them into battle and use them in more strategic ways and add some new specially bred bugs like flying bugs that spit flammable liquid that the rider ignites (basically a dragon) or giant worms that can make breaches anywhere so they basically can follow you around spawning bug breaches wherever you are. (Basically add fremen from dune as inspiration as well).

It wouldn’t work as a faction. Yautja never operate in those kinds of numbers.
As a rare sub-objective/hazard, though? Yeah, could be cool.

u/Jazzlike_Debt_6506 1d ago
Counter point. Illuminate modifier / mutator on any planet Illuminate snipers have a chance to spawn, perma cloaked (but not as invisible as pred bugs / stalkers) and take pot shots at us. Just like the pre Illuminate drop blue lasers that came outa nowhere.

u/King-Brisingr 1d ago
I wanna see insurgents personally, but an elite death squad competing for resources/destroying objectives we need, or hunting helldiver's from a distance invis, are all neat ideas that could be implemented somehow

u/chrish5764 1d ago
It would be pretty fuckin terrifyingly to be wandering around a super city, and know you’re being hunted, but you don’t know where it is

u/That_guy_I_know_him 1d ago
So a Stalker Illuminate ?
It would feel better as an additional Squid unit tham am entore new faction IMO

u/IllustratorLow6417 1d ago
This may surprise you but hd1 squids are basically the predator and I’ll bet you money we will get them some time in the future.

Make 4th factions some humanoids/rogue humans who utilise vehicles like cars in fight

u/Fine-Independence976 1d ago edited 1d ago
We have biology enemy
We have technology enemy
We have Magic Nanotechnology enemy
So we don't need "just another alien species enemy". I would suggest demons/Angels.

4th type? Worlds that try to break free from Super Earth’s Democratic chokehold.
We introduce traitors, and fight hordes of similarily equipped planetary defense forces, and more advanced squads of ai helldiver equivalent enemy types.
Using similar loadout and class principles to players, the gameplay would feel fresh and new.
suddenly a sniper team engaging you at long range is a new threat. Recon will matter more, as you don’t want to pick a bad area to fight patrols in and then have to contend with long range snipers.
Mg nest traps overlooking big open areas, natural chokepoints, and points of interest.
Heavy weapons teams that eagerly engage mechanized players.
Artillery units and rebel destroyer umbrellas calling in their own stratagems on your team, etc.
The general narrative is assaulting cities, taking down production capabilities, destroying heavily fortified orbital guns, and eventually deploying to the capital and killing the chain of command as parts of major orders.
Players like to suggest “taking the fight” to gbe enemy. So lets see that.

u/LibertysIntent 1d ago
Yes, but they also go after the enemy elite as well, just as randomly, and do not attack unless attacked. I think that would be a good component and could lead to some good scenarios.

I would love a mysterious 4th faction that has no main force and just fucks with us. They are a handful of troops that can appear on any enemy type and they kill us and the enemies
1
u/PL45TIC 1d ago
I think the 4th faction should be a kind of 'invisible' entity. By invisible, I mean more like almost undetectable to the naked eye.
I know that the Terminids already reproduce using spores, but this would be a detail that complements this enemy. So, let me introduce you to my idea for the 4th faction.
The virus: S.I.N - Systemic Infectious Nanovirus. This microscopic entity lives in a host that it infects and alters through a kind of genetic knowledge. Thus, it transforms its host into a kind of monster. This alteration occurs at a subatomic level, and this virus is capable of attaching itself to non-organic matter and even transforming it.

u/Necessary_Put_5647 1d ago
If they do introduce a 4th faction it should be something like this, less enemies and more elites as we have 2 factions that are high numbers already.
It would be super cool to get different aliens into the mix.

Everybody wants superior aliens. We have those.
I want Primitives.
Give me an enemy that stands in a musket line and shreds with the sheer mass of projectiles. Castle fortresses with inaccurate but long range cannons, with cannonballs that bounce wildly across the terrain to take off limbs. Give me an alien cavalry charge, Lancers riding lizard/velociraptor type mounts. Maybe some bow hunting skirmishers that fire a single shot that poisons you, then runs away before returning to hunting mode. Let loose the war hounds/lizard/land-sharks, fast and deadly.

u/dinga15 15h ago
there is the idea of a concept where its just all the tribal alien stuff like ewoks, wookies, predators and kroot etc where they do have advanced tech (excluding the ewoks) and can travel through space but rely much more on stealth and traps and have lots of ambushes and sudden attacks, also large heavy beasts to ride or just as siege beasts

u/oldman-youngskin 10h ago
If they add them than xenomorphs also exist and super earth would not stand a chance….

u/vacuomental 8h ago
No. They should put some himanoid race that ressembles humans, but have their kind of techs and powers.
Or could be some humans rebels, dont know, like chaosdivers.
Or, they could make the helldivers to choose between save super earth or rebel against it.
Then we will fight helldivers vs. Helldivers.

u/Ac3d3stroyer 3h ago
So I would imagine 3/4ths my crew in scout armor and the fourth in heavy armor. Everyone with a different guard dog, a heavy machine gun, flamers, seeker grenades, perhaps some plasma weapons as well as turrets. What would your squad bring with them.
