Predasite

Predasites are terrain-restricted infested companions. There are currently 3 subspecies of Predasites.

Like MOAs Predasites are obtained through a modular system, with players able to select from various combinations of three different components to create Predasites to their liking. Since these are organic companions, they are not built, but rather revivified through the use of mutagens and antigens.

Similar to other companions, Predasites can be given custom names for further personalization, once they are gilded, as well as being able to be revived once downed.

Predasites are solitary predators that return to the same partners each mating season, meeting up in the Swamp. Other times of the year, they disperse across the Cambion Drift.

• Stats

A Predasite companion needs three different components to be revivified, the Weakened Subspecies, the Mutagen, and the Antigen. Each component type has several options to choose from, allowing players to customize stats and the Predasite's type and appearance.

Subspecies

The Predasite's Subspecies forms the companion's head which is the component that earns Mastery Rank points for the Predasite after gilding. Each subspecies grant 2 mods like other companions.

Vizier Predasite
This subspecies grants the
 Acidic Spittle and
 Iatric Mycelium mods.

Medjay Predasite
This subspecies grants the
 Infectious Bite and
 Paralytic Spores mods.

Pharaoh Predasite
This subspecies grants the
 Anabolic Pollination and
 Endoparasitic Vector mods.

Mutagen

The Mutagen determines the appearance of the Predasite's tail and the innate resistance type of the Predasite.

Arioli
Adapts the Infestation to grant Cloned Flesh resistances
Side Effects: Infestation grows through the tail
4,000 Standing 4,000
Rank 3: Associate

Chiten

Rank 4: Friend

Antigen

The Antigen determines the appearance of the Predasite's Head/Neck, and determines the first Polarity of the Predasite.

Elasmun
Attunes the Infestation within to the Madurai polarity
Side Effects: Infestation grows through the horn
2,500 Standing 2,500
Rank 2: Acquaintance

Rank 4: Friend

Before players can revivify a Predasite, they must first purchase the blueprints for the Mutagen and Antigen they desire from Son, which is available for Standing, after which these parts must then be constructed at the Foundry. The weakened subspecies can be captured in the Cambion Drift.

Once the component parts have been crafted, players must return to Son and select the Predasite Revivification option. Here, players must choose the components they have available to revivify the Predasite. Once a Subspecies, Mutagen, and Antigen are selected, the player will be shown a preview of the Predasite's appearance. If the Predasite is satisfactory, players can then proceed with the Build action, which will instantly Revivify the Predasite for 5,000 Credits 5,000. Players can also use the Configure screen to preview builds of Predasite components they do not yet own.

A newly revivified Predasite cannot be renamed, customized, Polarized, upgraded with an Orokin Catalyst, equipped with a Focus Lens, or earn Mastery Rank experience.

Gilding

In order to fully unlock all of a Predasite's features, players must gild their Predasite. To gild a Predasite, the desired Predasite must first be leveled up to Rank 30. Afterwards, players must return to Son and select the Gild option under Experimental Procedures, which will cost 10 Son Tokens and 5,000 Standing 5,000. Upon gilding the Predasite, players will be asked to first add a Polarity to the Predasite, and then finally give it a custom name. This process will reset the Predasite's level back to Rank 0.

A Gilded Predasite will have all of the functionality available to other organic companions, and it will have enhanced stats over the newly-built version of the Predasite. Gilded Predasites are also able to earn Mastery Rank points.

• By default a Predasite companion has 95 Health, 50 Armor, and 90 Shields.
• The cheapest Predasite can be revivified at Rank 1: Stranger and its base components will cost 2,500 Standing 2,500 (Leptosam & Iranon) while the most expensive can be built at Rank 4: Friend and its base components will cost 12,000 Standing 12,000 (Monachod & Tethron).

Acquisition

Predasites can be found around the edge of the map, easily spotted from an Archwing, they will usually be engaged in combat with other fauna, although not always. They will constantly respawn rarely in areas away from the player, so leaving and re-entering is not necessary. The player can obtain a Predasite by tranquilizing its respective weakened form in the open world. Wild variants become weakened upon taking damage from roaming infested. Beware, however, as upon seeing the player, they will attempt to flee and despawn relatively quickly (Nyx can use Mind Control to force wild Predasite to remain and combat infested, thus becoming weakened and able to be captured at the conclusion of the ability).
