The recently released ‘Predator Hunting Grounds’ by Illfonic, has had its first DLC drop, known as ‘Dutch’. This DLC sees the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Character, Major Alan ‘Dutch’ Schaefer, from the first Predator movie.

Now, I did not know this at first, but it is not just a skin for your character but a new class all together. He is quite similar to the assault class but with slightly more health and less gear capacity and passive abilities, which I think are best suited to his style. Another feature, if not just for nostalgic reasons or nodding at the original movie, are hip fire accuracy and mud cover duration.

Not only do you get the Dutch look, but you also get his classic ‘Hammerhead Assault Rifle’ which you can use with any class. Along with the Hammerhead you also get Dutch’s knife which essentially is the same as the normal combat knife but looks a lot cooler, as it is made from the blade of a Predator’s wrist gauntlet. The character looks and feels so cool, instead of the classic Dutch, they used an older version of him that looks like he has seen a few more encounters with his sworn enemies.

With the latest update fixing a few bugs and improving the balance and playstyle of the Predator, they also add video testimonies from Dutch, where he records what he has been up to since 1987. This adds to the DLC giving it some lore to go with the return of Dutch. If anything, the great addition of Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising the role by voicing his character is amazing and I do not think I will tire of telling my team to ‘Get To da choppa!’.
