Predator follows the surviving O’Neil brothers from a road chase into a forest search. Thermal vision makes bodies easy to see but also highlights wildlife. Gold needs three enemy headshots without killing any animals, so identify each target before taking the shot.
Step-by-step walkthrough
-
Follow the O’Neil vehicle into the canyon
As Franklin, stay behind the fleeing brothers on the highway and into Raton Canyon. Keep control through the bends and let the pursuit reach the crash. The vehicle swerves to avoid an animal and the occupants flee into the woods.
Follow the objective to inspect the crash and call the others. For the nine-minute target, switch promptly when Franklin’s pursuit becomes available rather than delaying in the opening drive.
-
Bring the helicopter to Franklin
Take Trevor and Michael to the airfield, board the helicopter and fly to the forest marker. Approach steadily so Michael can use the scoped rifle from a stable view of the search area.
Thermal vision shows both the brothers and nearby animals. Do not fire at every bright shape. Watch for human movement, posture and weapons before committing.
-
Shoot the identified brothers accurately
Use Michael’s special ability to line up headshots on the visible brothers. Two can be dealt with from the helicopter. Thin the Herd requires leaving the animals alive, and missed shots also work against the 70% accuracy condition.
The remaining brother fires rockets from concealment. Follow the change back to Franklin rather than continuing to shoot blindly into the trees.
-
Follow Chop and finish the ground pursuit
Stay with Chop as he leads Franklin to the remaining O’Neil brother. When the target is exposed, aim for the head to complete the three-headshot total. Avoid shooting Chop or wildlife while responding to the ambush.
Trevor then lands to collect Franklin and Chop. Board and return to Sandy Shores Airfield to finish the mission; the forest kill is not the final travel objective.
