The helmet also seems to affect hearing as well in Predator, when the Predator took its helmet off, it heard things at a much higher pitch than before and slightly more distorted. This device can both record and play strips of audio, which a Predator may use to express meaning or catch prey off guard, or to simply listen to the voices of their prey, as if to study their language. The targeting system can also be used to heat up metals like Wristblades.Īnother feature of the Predator's helmet is its voice translator/recorder. This tracking system also allows the Predators to plot trajectories of thrown objects. This also has a zoom capability, so the Predators can see and aim over great distances. As the quarry is decided upon, the designator will zoom a triangle in on the prey which will flash and turn solid red, then fires. Incorporated to finalize the shot is a lock-on system.

A shoulder mounted Plasmacaster uses this laser target designator, which comprises three corners of an open triangle, to aim at the designated prey. Housed within the helmet is a targeting and tracking system for shoulder based Plasmacasters. He did this by inserting the substance via a needle into his wrist gauntlet, suggesting a connection between the two. Predator: Requiem, a Yautja hunter gathers the substance he was containing a Facehugger in, and installed a new vision mode on his bio-helmet which allowed him to see the substance highlighted. Additional vision modes are available to determine the health status of the targets. Also available is a spectrum and a specifically tuned mode, EM field detector, used to visualize Xenomorphs. Bio-helmets have been shown to have access to several different visual frequencies, is most commonly seen being infrared, effective to visualize the humans, but rendered essentially useless in a Xenomorph Hunt.
