Predator | Genshin Impact- Ascension Materials, Stats, Appearence, How to Get and FAQs

Last Modified Feb 21, 2022 12:53 GMT

Predator was introduced as a Playstation Network exclusive weapon in version 2.1 alongside Aloy. This weapon was be accessed simply by linking their account to the Playstation Network by logging in through a PlayStation. With ATK as the secondary stat, although you can not refine this weapon, it is still a solid option for Aloy as the weapon is pretty much designed for her.

The reason why this bow was specifically designed for Aloy is because she was the one who had the bow made. She went to a blacksmith herself and told her about the world where machines are apex predators and then had the bow commissioned. The blacksmith, although confused, made the bow as requested. Although he thought it was to hunt for machines, it was merely for boar meat, something that is very rare in her world.

Story

The Blacksmith who accepted the commission asked why this order had to be made this way and why it had to be named like this.

The answer was rather complicated: something about machine beasts that roamed all over the world, and something about polearms not having override codes.

The blacksmith understood quickly enough, though. So this bow was some powerful weapon used to hunt and kill these mighty machine creatures, and so it was the apex predator of that world.

But the strange girl corrected him.

She was just going to use this to hunt wild boars next, since it appeared that in this world, using bows and arrows to hunt would actually allow one to harvest Raw Meat.

Trivia

  1. Predator is the only character specific bow that explicitly mentions the character in its passive in the game.

FAQs

Is Predator a good bow Genshin Impact?

Predator is not a good bow because only Aloy can bring forth its full potential. It requires way too many prerequisites to be considered good.

Is Predator good on Aloy?

While the Predator is a good weapon, there are much better alternatives to Aloy which does not require dead investment on a weapon like the stringless or even the compound bow.

Do PC players get Aloy bow?

No. PC players do not get the Predator due to it being a PSN exclusive weapon. PC players were supplied with Aloy for a short while, but not her bow.

Final Thoughts

While this weapon can be good on Aloy, it is pretty useless on most other characters. Due to the same, it is recommended not to level this weapon as it is a massive waste of resources. Aloy can obtain the same or similar effects from other weapons as well, making this weapon truly useless.
