Predator pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Hit white arrows to qualify a Special Mission and shoot the right Helicopter ramp to start it. Complete GUN, equip at the left reverso ramp, and collect crew before the Mission to raise its value and make its shots easier to finish.

The goal

Collect crew and improve your weapon while hitting white Special Mission arrows. Complete GUN and shoot the left reverso ramp to equip. When START MISSION lights, shoot the right Helicopter ramp, then add a prepared Multiball when extra balls help finish the mode.

  1. Collect crew from their character shots; each active crew member adds to Special Mission scoring.

  2. Complete the center GUN targets and shoot the left reverso ramp to equip the weapon. Build ammo through A-M-M-O and the left-inlane hurry-up.

  3. Hit the white arrows until START MISSION lights at the right Helicopter ramp, then shoot that ramp to begin the selected Special Mission.

  4. During the Mission, prioritize its purple progress shots. Use the weapon when the display says it can advance the current task; yellow shots generally build the eventual collect.

  5. Prepare Get to the Choppa with repeated right-ramp shots and two locks, or collect the full crew for Hunter Multiball. Start the Mission first when you want a Multiball to help complete it.

  6. Finish Jungle Events and Hunts for Items. The Item paired with a Special Mission strengthens that Mission and supports the long Final Battle route.
