The Predator: Hunting Grounds 1.08 update patch notes bring in the most iconic action movie hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger, back into the series for the first time since the first film. Although he must be purchased, he reprises his role as Dutch and player get to learn what happened after that fateful day in the jungle. But this update also comes with other fixes as well. Also, if you’re wondering, there are still no crossparty invites.
Predator: Hunting Grounds 1.08 Update Patch Notes | Arnold ‘Dutch’ DLC
Unlike the Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11, Schwarzenegger voices an older Dutch, who players can now play as after they buy him for $6.99. Buying him also lets players use Dutch’s Knife, the QR5 “Hammerhead” Rifle, and few outfits and weapon skins early. All of these customization options will be free on June 12 for everyone.

And speaking of free, everyone will be able to listen to Dutch’s tapes that explain his backstory since the first film. You’ll get these as you level up and can listen to them in the menu. Thankfully, you don’t have to find these on the map while the Predator is hunting you like the OWLF Recordings. The Dutch tapes are in the Extras menu on the main menu under Collectibles. You’ll see the Dutch tapes under the OWLF Recordings.
Predator: Hunting Grounds 1.08 Update Patch Notes | Daily and Weekly Challenges
This new update added two types of challenges: daily and weekly. Daily Challenges seemingly reset at 5 PM PT and Weekly Challenges reset on Sundays at 5 PM PT. These are pretty simple (win 10 hunts as the Fireteam, destroy the Predator’s BioMask) and reward a heavy amount of Veritanium upon completion. The first Daily Challenge rewards 5,000 Veritanium and the Weekly Challenge rewards 15,000 Veritanium.
