- The Jotun Predator has arrived! - 20 January 2026
Jotun PredatorViewed by his own clan as a bloodthirsty aberration, the Jotun Predator lives for the sheer thrill of the kill rather than the honor of the hunt. He is defined by his brutality and savagery. Despite possessing an arsenal far superior to his prey, he rejects advanced plasma weaponry, priding himself instead on raw physical dominance. Not even a grave injury in close-quarters combat could halt his rampage; he became one of the first Yautja to utilize prototype cybernetics to replace a severed hand. Centuries ago, Norsemen mistook the Jotun Predator for the mythological beast Grendel—a living nightmare that simply refused to die.This DLC pack includes the Jotun Predator premium class, as well as early access to the new Shock Gauntlet Predator weapon.Shock GauntletThe Jotun Predator's Shock Gauntlet is a primal showcase of Yautja weaponsmithing.
