The mechanics of the encounter are such that when it starts I used the shotgun because the Predator has a pattern of moving in close and at times appearing behind or near you and the shotgun was excellent at the start. I hung around there and I kept moving between the trees and the giant rock occasionally going up to the ammo crate for a very fast ammo refill because I was constantly shooting and throwing grenades. When you start the encounter there's an ammo crate in the middle of the map and southeast of the ammo crate there's a decline in slope that has two large trees you can run between and a giant rock northeast of the trees. I also frequently switched between night vision and thermal vision in order to spot the Predator and I was never out of either vision mode.

The reason for these weapons is because they afford automatic fire at a relatively high rate. I used the Spas-12 shotgun, SR3M assault rifle and the Skorpion handgun.
