What technological, physical, mental (or a combo of all 3) skill/s would you most like being in possession and/or mastery of, in order to defeat a Predator (if you were forced to fight either one, or a whole bunch of them) and please say why.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

From what I have been told of the Predator expanded universe fluff and all, they pretty much hunt for the hell of it, right? They see all other life forms as beneath them, worthy prey, and move on from that assumption--if we happen to defeat them, we get their begrudging respects as a warrior.

With that in mind, I'd like the Point of View Gun from the Hitchhiker's Guide movie.

"Wow, we're uh...we're really dicks, aren't we? I didn't know we came across like that. My bad."
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

I'd be a drop dead gorgeous lady predator.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

I'd want to be a ballistic missile technician. On another continent.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

As far as I can tell, they're not really that dangerous if you can SEE them.

So I'd just want to be able to see in whatever spectrum is necessary to detect them and defeat their camou tech. Preferably something that autocycles through different spectra to make sure they aren't trying something sneaky.

See the Predator + cheap ass Saturday night special handgun = Dead Predator.

Me, I'd start with invulnerability. Actually, I'd start there no matter who I had to fight.

I'd be a drop dead gorgeous lady predator.

Considering how they're likely to treat their women, I'd think very carefully before taking this option.

As far as I know, the only "lady" Predator was Machiko, a human female adopted into the clan after she killed a lot of Aliens. They didn't exactly treat her with love. Their society seems entirely structured on how well you do on the hunt, and that's it. They don't care if you're male, female, human, predator, tall, short, any of that crap. Just hunt with honor and you're top dog. There's a lot I respect about that.

That said I'll take the frag grenade launcher from the Alien vs Predator game (1999 version, the BEST version). One hit kills a Predator, every time.

Telekinesis or be an omnipotent being like Q and just squash the predator or even blow their entire species out of existence. Would that be cheating?
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

Relativistic kill vehicles and a map of the Predator home solar system. Also, infrared vision equipment and an RPO.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Mind control.

Then I'd prison rape that ugly muthafucka.

What?

No one else wanted to prison rape a predator?

I'm the only one?

All it takes to defeat Predators are big pecs, giant biceps, rippling six pack and a big damn gun. If you see one call me and I'll save you.

If you were RAMA, I'd believe you.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

definitely the ability to move objects.

I feel like off all weaknesses, everyone has the weakness of being crushed by 40mph boulders.

Even the gun proved useless. In the end, the killing blow would have been dealt with mankind's oldest weapon: a big fuckin' rock.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

I would possess a couple of beers, a pack of smokes and a lawn chair. The Predator would then view me as an insufficient challenge and go after all of you.

Then I'd shoot him in the back with my disintegration ray heat vision.
 
Re: What skills would you like possessing,in order to defeat a Predato

From the two movies, I'd say the easiest way to "win" against a Predator is to be unarmed. So, I wouldn't want any sort of weapon within easy reach.

The other option seems to be pregnancy, but that ain't goin' to happen.
