The PROJAM Team




MAIN MENU PROJAM V5 PRIMAL PROJAM V2 HISTORY PROFILES



PRIMAL PROJAM is a 'personal taste mod' created for PRIMAL HUNT. As such, we created this final installment to suit our personal taste. We release this mod, as is, without support, or any other post-release patch changes.

This online readme only covers documentation regarding the many changes we made to the game. There is a separate FULL PDF readme included with the mod that also covers terms of use, known issues and detailed installation instructions. You can download the mod and all included documentation by clicking this link: PRIMAL PROJAM V2 DOWNLOAD

"Dr. Post says it is absolutely imperative that you review the data his team has prepared for you before entering the Zeta Site, Dunya. You will exercise caution, adapt, survive and return with the artifact. Be... careful, Dunya."

1: ENHANCED EFFECTS

NEW VISUAL EFFECTS

Many visual effects have been imported from previous incarnations of PROJAM and many have been improved upon. Many new visual effects have also been created whenever we came across something we felt could have been improved. Like previous PROJAM mods, every projectile that strikes an object and/or surface will create an impact effect. These impacts can consist of light emission, dust, smoke, fragmentation debris, surface scoring, bullets tracers, bullet ricochet sparks, screen shaking, shock waves, water ripples, water splashes and impact sound effects to greatly enhance the overall visual minutia of the game. We've also created some improved gib/gore effects to improve combat, and we created much better/more destroyable objects, exploding barrels, computers, screens, etc.

NEW SOUND EFFECTS

Many sound effects have been imported from previous incarnations of PROJAM and many have been improved upon. Like some of our new visual effects, we also created higher quality sound effects for those we found wanting. Like previous incarnations of PROJAM, these sound effects will enhance many aspects of the game. This includes sounds for in-game menus, interface, characters, weaponry, voice-over dialog, ambiance, events, music and much, much more.

NEW DIALOG / VOICEOVERS

All in game sound dialogue recordings pertaining to the artificial intelligence system (MU-TH-UR/Mother) have been re-made using a new MOTHER AI voice personality. In addition, Combat Synth sounds have been re-done in a new, deeper, more robotic sounding voice.

NEW SKINS

We've also created a new high-definition character graphic skin overhaul for PRIMAL PROJAM. This overhaul includes first / third person weaponry, and numerous character skins. An overwhelming amount of time and energy was invested in the creation of this extremely detailed overhaul by our graphic artist, Phil 'Mr. Grizzly' Olsen. We believe it was well worth his efforts to update PROJAM to take advantage of the unprecedented power offered modern graphics hardware. All of the characters have been re-skinned in high resolution with great attention to detail.

NEW ENVRIONMENT CHANGES

Many visual environmental and audio changes have been made to the world such as tree skins, green grass, blue water, etc. In addition, the green skies and green tinted filters in day time jungle area have all been replaced with blue skies and blue tint. The orbital view of the LV-1201 itself has been re-skinned to better match the dark gray hurricane swept skies and that cover a good portion of the planet's surface during the night. These subtle changes effect how the world appears – especially during the Predator missions. Many atmospheric sounds have also been replaced to sprinkle a little spice on familiar places.

NEW MODELS

Our resident 3D modeler / animator, RR_DF_RaptorRed, has created new custom content for PRIMAL PROJAM. This includes unique special attachments, weapons and other models that greatly enhance the PROJAM experience. Red is an amazing 3D modeler, and we are very appreciative of her efforts to bring PRIMAL PROJAM to the next level!

NEW MENUS

New, simpler menus have been added and the multiplayer menu option has been removed. PRIMAL PROJAM is a single player modification.

6: ENHANCED AI

PRIMAL PROJAM is single player modification only. The campaigns have been improved greatly over the vanilla game and combat AI has been almost completely overhauled. AI weapons deal less or more damage, and have less or more health depending upon your chosen difficulty level. This modification makes the game significantly harder than the vanilla game. It is highly recommended that you play on Easy or Normal Difficulty on your first playthrough.

NEW HUMAN AI

AI controlled human enemies have been modified extensively. AI controlled pulse rifles now fire in short, controlled 3-round bursts. AI pulse rifles can also now occasionally fire fragmentation grenades. AI smart guns now fire 5-round bursts, and have a shorter delay between them – which makes them more dangerous. AI Sentry Guns fire as fast as they do in Aliens director's cut, and are very dangerous. It's highly recommended that you avoid their detection radius, find alternate routes around them or destroy their power / control terminals.

AI equipped with a Rocket Launcher can fire 3 shots before reloading, and can fire them with improved tracking enabled. AI fired rockets also travel at high speed velocity, making them near impossible to dodge. AI rockets deal significantly less damage than the player's, but like all of our new AI weapons, their damage scales dramatically on harder difficulty levels. You should prioritize this enemy.

The AI Shotgun has been replaced by the Flame Thrower. The AI Minigun has been replaced by the Smart gun. The AI Grenade Launcher and Rail Guns have been replaced by SADAR(s). All pickups have been modified throughout the game to match.

NEW COMBAT SYNTH AI

AI Combat Synths can now hear and spot enemies better than humans. They have motion tracking, night vision, thermal vision built into their sensory suite, and even can see cloaked predators at medium range. Combat synths are about as tough as a human soldier but take half damage from pulse rifles, claws, blades, fire, and explosive splash damage.

NEW PREDATOR AI

Single player Light, Classic, Mohawk and Heavy Predators have been replaced with PROJAM Predators. Predator AI can also now utilize our new wristblades, net launcher, shurikens, shoulder cannon, and hand cannon. While you do not face off against a Predator in PRIMAL PROJAM, it's really cool to watch them engage in the Alien AI during the early portion of the Predalien campaign.

NEW ALIEN AI

AI Drones, Predaliens and Praetorians can now attack with claws, headbite, tailwhip, and pounce. In addition, Drones no longer crouch-paw at players with a single hand, they will stand upright and rapidly rend you to pieces using both hands. Predaliens, Praetorians and Queens now have significantly more health and and take half damage from pulse rifles, claws, blades, fire, and explosive splash damage.

NEW EXOSUIT AI

AI controlled Exosuits now utilize the new PIG, miniguns and multiple rocket launch system. AI controlled Exosuits have a new tinted, bullet-resistant windshield, which now makes it impossible to headshot or headbite the operator. AI Exosuits are much more powerful than the standard game ever were. They have far more health and take half damage from pulse rifles, claws, blades, fire, and explosive splash damage. Exosuits now explode when they die in a plume of fire and scrap metal.

7: THE CORPORATES

The Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Minigun and Railgun are no longer available.

NIGHT VISION

The night vision monocular eyepiece allows you to see in the dark. New sounds and a vision overlay have been created to mimic Harrison's drop down visor in the single player menu.

TNR SHOULDER LAMP

The Shoulder Lamp is a standard issue tool to illuminate your surroundings.

M-94 MARKING FLARE

Flares act as a light source to help illuminate dark areas of the map. Flares now create a much more movie accurate reddish-pink light instead of white and smoke trail effects have been integrated into the projectile. New sounds have been created for Flares so they have better ignition and burn out effects. A flare will illuminate an area 30 feet in diameter. A flare will burn for 15 seconds and a maximum of 20 flares can be carried at once. Flares can also be found much more frequently throughout the Marine campaign, so you don't need to worry about saving them. If you can't see very well, throw a flare to provide additional light.

KA-BAR KNIFE

The KA-BAR Knife is a tool more than a weapon, but a tool that is both precise and lethal in the hands of a Colonial Marine. The knife's primary fire is fast, and deals light damage in a double-horizontal slash pattern. We created a new alternate fire double-stab attack that is slower, but can decapitate a light armored enemy. The knife's reach has been decreased from the vanilla game, and CQC is now a bit more CQC. New sounds have been created for the KA-BAR Knife.

M4A4 MAGNUM PISTOL

The M4A4 Magnum Pistol can no longer change ammo types, and is now chambered for the M4501 (A .45 Caliber WIN MAG variant of the M901 9mm) armor penetrating cartridge. This cartridge consists of a subcaliber metal core encased in a high-impact resin bullet. Upon impact, the resin case breaks apart, allowing the core to penetrate the target's armor, and then deliver severe damage to the target itself.

The Magnum's spread is twice that of the vanilla Pistol, making it best used against close to medium range targets. New sounds have been created for the Magnum (some made from our own pistols), while the fire sound is a high fidelity recreation of a classic silver screen magnum.

The magnum will now produce barrel smoke, a larger muzzle flash, new .45 WIN MAG shell casings and classic PROJAM world impact effects. A new crosshair reticle has also been created for the Magnum to make aiming more intuitive.

Dunya can also obtain a second pistol, which will allow her twice the fire rate of a single sidearm for absolutely savage results. She can also carry twice as much magnum ammunition. A second pistol will also produce a unique crosshair reticle for even more intuitive aiming.

M41A PULSE RIFLE

The M41A Pulse Rifle is the standard issue assault weapon for the Corporates. It now fires light armor piercing bullets that explode on impact. The Pulse Rifle no longer fires in full auto, but has a new 3-round burst fire mode that occurs when tapping or holding down the fire button. There is a brief delay before another burst can be performed again, and each burst will modulate the firing sound randomly for a more immersive silver screen Pulse Rifle experience.

The Pulse Rifle is also equipped with an under-barrel 30mm pump action grenade launcher that now fires fragmentation grenades. These grenades are very effective against light armored targets, and have an 8 meter kill radius against Humans and Drones. Use caution and try not to fire these grenades up close.

In order to maintain game-play balance versus tougher targets such as a Combat Synth, Exosuit, Predator, Predalien, Praetorian and Queen, the Pulse Rifle's light armor piercing round and fragmentation grenades will deal half their damage against these enemies. New firing sounds have been created for the Pulse Rifle and firing one will now produce barrel smoke, muzzle flash and improved PROJAM world impact effects. A new crosshair reticle has been created for the Pulse Rifle to make aiming more intuitive.

M56A2 SMARTGUN

The M56 Smart Gun has been redesigned to replace the Minigun for use against heavily armored targets such as Combat Synths, Exosuits, Predators, Predaliens, Praetorians and Queens. It now fires heavy armor piercing bullets that explode on impact. The Smartgun no longer fires in full auto, but has a new 5-round burst fire mode that occurs when tapping or holding down the fire button. There is a brief delay before another burst can be performed again, and each burst will modulate the firing sound randomly for a more immersive silver screen Smart Gun experience. The Smart Gun's stabilized mount and operator harness absorbs any recoil generated during fire so muzzle climb while moving is non-existent. This weapon was intended to be used with tracking enabled but it can be used in free-fire mode as well.

The Smartgun can now be reloaded, has new reload sounds, a functional reload animation and can carry 200 rounds per drum. The player can now carry a max of 3 drums for this weapon. The Smartgun was intended to be used against heavily armored targets, and as such, heavy targets do not receive any damage mitigation against this weapon. The Smartgun's explosive impact effects are larger and meaner than the Pulse Rifle.

The Smartgun is also no longer limited to a walking pace. Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez) was a petite 5'3” woman in Aliens. If she could run while using a Smartgun, so can you. In addition the aforementioned changes, we have also created a new smart gun targeting interface for added flavor. This new interface provides some cool factor and emphasizes the smart technology behind this weapon's autonomous aim features. New firing sounds have been created for the Smartgun, and firing one will now produce barrel smoke, muzzle flash and improved PROJAM world impact effects.

M240 INCINERATOR

The Flame Thrower (for our mod) uses propane fuel instead of napalm stored under pressure and ignited by a nozzle burner. Unlike previous PROJAM versions and AVP in general, The Flame Thrower no longer causes targets to burn for additional damage over time. The Flame Thrower's rate of fire has been doubled and it now deals moderate direct and area effect damage, which can also cause grievous injury or death to the person firing it if used too close.

The Flame Thrower is very useful for hitting multiple targets simultaneously,
but was intended to be used in short bursts while back-peddling in a sweep pattern. The Flame Thrower also has a new reload animation and new reload sound. The player can now carry 4 small (camping sized) propane canisters that store 100 fuel per canister, for a maximum of 400 total fuel.

M-6B ROCKET LAUNCHER

The M-6B Rocket Launcher's now only has a single mode of fire. The M-6B now utilizes hyper-velocity, intelligent anti-tank rockets that cause severe direct impact and splash damage in a 1 meter blast radius. The M-6B's was intended to be used against heavily armored targets such as Combat Synths, Exosuits, Predators, Predaliens, Praetorians and Queens. 3 heavy armor piercing rockets can be fired from each loaded tube. You can carry a maximum of 4 tubes.

New sounds and visual effects have been created for the M-6B. We also created a new smart targeting cursor for cool-factor and improved targeting similar to the Smartgun. HIMAT rockets also travel through the air at a much higher velocity than the vanilla game. However. The delay between each rocket launched has been increased by a factor of 2.

UA571-C AUTOMATED SENTRY GUNS

The AI deployable Sentry Gun and building integrated Sentry Gun variants are extremely effective, automated defense turrets that fire our new heavy armor piercing, high explosive rounds. Sentry guns fire in full auto at 1100 rounds per minute, and track targets faster. Make sure to utilize these turrets whenever you can as they ARE and SHOULD be a MAJOR advantage during combat.

New sounds have been created for each Sentry Gun type, and they now produce barrel smoke, muzzle flash and improved PROJAM world impact effects. Each Sentry Gun can hold a maximum of 500 rounds. Sentry Guns will also overheat and temporarily go offline to cool down before they can fire again. This remains unchanged from the original game as it was hard-coded to function that way.

MOUNTED TURRET

The mounted minigun turret now fires 20mm armor penetrating rounds. Each round fired ejects new casings, and new sounds were created for it's firing sequences. The mounted turret now fires at 1200 rounds per minute and has 900 rounds. The mounted turret's bullet was made a projectile to eliminate a bug in the original game that prevented the turret's vanilla vector based bullets from traveling over the lift door during Dunya's final mission. Due to this issue, the turret's bullets previously hit nothing but air beyond 20 feet or so. We have corrected this bug, and now you can lay waste to waves of Aliens unimpeded.

HEALING KITS

Health kits are small satchels of emergency medical supplies found throughout the Corporate campaign. Health Kits now provide 300% more healing. Dunya's maximum health pool is 100, and you can't extend health beyond that value. However, you can use a single kit multiple times to recover lost health. Once a kit is depleted, it will disappear. Every time Dunya uses a health kit, she essentially unzips the satchel, removes a single morphine syringe and injects herself to heal. Remember where you saw health kits so you can backtrack if needed. Healing is important – especially on harder difficulty levels. You will be a strung out morphine junkie by the time you get off that planet. IF you get off at all...

ARMOR KITS

Armor kits are small satchels of M3 ballistic plates and repair tools found throughout the Corporate campaign. Armor Kits now provide 300% more armor. Dunya's maximum armor pool is 200, and you can't extend armor beyond that value. However, you can use a single kit multiple times to repair ruined armor. Once a kit is depleted, it will disappear. Every time Dunya uses an armor kit, she essentially unzips the satchel, removes a ballistic plate, and inserts it in her M3 armor carrier. Remember where you saw armor kits so you can backtrack if needed. Armor is just as important as health as it is a buffer between you and an untimely demise.

8: THE ALIENS

PURE STRENGTH AND TENACITY

Unlike the stealthier PROJAM 5 playable Drone, PRIMAL PROJAM's Predalien is incredibly strong and resilient to physical injury. While wall-walking, she remains a slow and methodical ambush predator. However; The Predalien is also a powerhouse combatant that can sprint and pounce into a skirmish with great vigor. The playable Predalien has significantly more health than a Drone, and takes half damage from blades, claws, pulse rifles fire and explosive splash damage.

VISION MODES

The Predalien's field of vision has much more fish-eye effect, and is now rendered in 1080p resolution. It definitely feels Alien, but it might feel disorienting to some. RRDF_RAPTORRED preferred this FOV, and since this mod was made for our team, it was important that her desires be met. We also created a new infrasonic-style hunting vision overlay that has illusory lighting effects that pulse across the surfaces of a map towards the player. It was supposed to feel like echo-location, but on this old engine, we were limited on how complex this effect could be.

FACEHUGGER

The Facehugger movement and footstep sounds have been greatly improved, and tail-whipping sounds have been added to their pounce attack. Facehugger AI now have a trill and chattering sound when they spot a victim, and will skitter across the ground like spider-crabs. You can now hear about 4-6 little skittering foot steps per single step so they feel a whole hell of a lot more creepy than ever before!

CLAWS

The Claw attack is the mainstay of the Alien's offensive abilities. The Xenomorph's great physical strength, resilient exoskeleton and razor-sharp talons allow the creature to scar steel bulkheads without incurring any semblance of injury. A Marine is canned spam by comparison. Claw attacks can be used to rend and consume human or predator corpses to restore the health. This will heal a portion of health with every attack until every large piece of a corpse is completely destroyed. Corpses will fade from the world fairly fast. Be sure to claw them!

HEAD-BITES

The head-bite is an immensely powerful, one-hit kill attack that will restore a significant amount of health to an injured Alien. Synthetics, Masked Predators and Exosuit Pilots can't be head-bitten. Healing is important – and you will be especially grateful for bite-sized head snacks on harder difficulty levels!

TAILS

The Tail-whip attack is akin to impaling prey with a spear. Tail attacks are no longer non-lethal stuns but are vicious stingers of death! Tail attacks will inflict greater damage the longer you charge them up. Tail attacks are a power attack, plain and simple. Use them for stealth attack one shot kills against humans, and for inflicting fierce damage against pounce-stunned Predators.

POUNCE

The pounce ability allows you to quickly close the distance to your target. This ability will also stun enemies for a short time, allowing you to follow up with other attacks. Pounce is a crucial attack against a Predator. Use it often...

9: THE PREDATORS

The Predator Pistol, Spear Gun and Remote Bombs are no longer available.

BIOMASK

The laser targeting recticle has been remade to match the newer triangle from the AvP movie. However. The targeting interface sounds only slightly changed from PROJAM 4 as our original, classic predator sounds were awesome enough to stand the test of time. We have also added new clicking sounds for vision modes to provide an improved silver-screen feel to the hunting experience. When cloaked and actively using a vision mode, an onscreen visor overlay will appear for extra cool factor.

ARMOR

The playable Predator now takes half damage from blades, claws, pulse rifles fire and explosive splash damage. His health has also been modified to make him a bit more silver screen tough. Due to the Predator's large frame and weight, his movements like foot steps and landings are louder. AI enemies will also notice the shimmering effect of his cloaking technology from further away. Crouch-walking will reduce the sound of a Predator's movements, but running around while cloaked can give away your position, and AI will notice you faster.

MEDICOMP

The Medicomp has not been changed from the default game. It uses the same amount of energy and causes you to walk while using it. The fact that the Predator can heal anytime at the cost of energy is aid enough. He's already tougher than
the other three playable characters. In addition, using the Medicomp or Energy Sift Device will alert any nearby enemies to your general location.

CLOAKING DEVICE


Due to Primal Hunt utilizing updated code, the Predator now has a cloaking texture. We have created a new cloaking texture to improve upon the original rainbow texture used in the original game. This new cloaking texture is far
more accurate to the silver screen, and while not perfect, it's fantastic!

The Cloaking Device is not as effective against humans as it was in the original game. You used to be able to stand still in front of a human while cloaked, and they would take a long time to see you. Now, humans will notice the shimmer of your cloaking field from further away, and will be able to detect you much faster depending on how far you're are away. Running while cloaked near an unaware human will cause them to investigate the sound, and they will detect you quicker. The Predator's active camouflage was fairly easy to spot in the first two films, and these changes will provide a little more silver screen accuracy as to how easily a Predator is to spot within 10 yards or so during combat.

SELF DESTRUCT DEVICE

The Self Destruct Device was included in this final version of the mod because it would have felt incomplete without it. The self destruct feature is mostly just for fun, in that, if you're about to die anyways, you can still get the 'last laugh'. Unlike the movies, our self destruct sequence is very quick in order to ensure it activates before you die. It can be used in situations when you have no energy left to heal, or for when you are dying so quickly that you know you won't be able to use the Medicomp in time. To use this device, simply press the #7 key (default) to select it, and then click primary fire to detonate the bomb.

We had originally created a couple of different spectacular visual effects for this device's explosion, however, they did not translate well during a first person death scene. We have instead created a much more artistic first person explosion effect that clouds the player's view after a massive flash so when the camera pans around your corpse, you see nothing but the smoke caused by the wide spread destruction of your suicide bombing. Rest assured though, when this explosion is triggered, anything that was attacking you will be utterly destroyed. The damage and blast radius of the Self Destruct device is such that no enemy will be left standing in the entire map. Truly, you will have the last laugh.

WRISTBLADES

The Wristblades have brand new models and animations based on Scar's blades from the Alien Vs. Predator movie. This means they are much larger and deadlier than the standard Wristblades. The Wristblades are now a single target focused weapon, and like vanilla AVP 2, they deliver quick but powerful jab attacks with primary fire. Jab attacks do not penetrate heavy armor but they do deal severe damage to most targets. Alt-fire delivers a devastating, heavy armor penetrating charge up attack. If you're going to melee against heavily armored targets such as Praetorians, Queens or Exosuits, these blades are both honorable and deadly.

GLAIVE

The new Glaive (Spear) is a 100% original weapon model with an original skin, and original attack animations that give it more of a Predator martial arts feel. The Glaive is tipped with wide, flat blades that are used to scythe and cut through enemies. As a result, its use dictates a different, more elaborate set of moves to harness its true potential, with flowing, almost dance-like movements required to ensure the heavy, bladed tips slice through the air with constant momentum. The Glaive is a very powerful weapon, able to cut clean through a human torso in the hands of a skilled operator.

The Glaive's primary fire activates one of three different spinning flourish attacks that deal moderate damage but cleave through multiple light armored targets simultaneously. This attack was designed to be used while moving and aiming to hit the most targets grouped in front of you at once. Primary fire is a very effective AoE blender attack that sprays a lot of blood, guts, entrails and appendages all over the freakin' screen. You're going to need a mop after using this thing.

The Glaive's alternate fire will activate a deadly single target stabbing attack. This attack deals severe damage and can be combined with a spring jump to perform wickedly fun aerial attack combos with a little bit of practice. Heavily armored targets take half damage from all Glaive attacks. New sounds have been created for the Glaive, and wielding it makes you feel like a true warrior! Using the Glaive forces you to walk and will deactivate your cloaking device.

NET LAUNCHER

The Net Launcher is no longer a hand-held gun but is now an add-on device that can be acquired and affixed to the Predator's gauntlet. The Net Launcher remains a utilitarian capture tool to subdue targets. Nets can be escaped by cutting or clawing out of them. The predator can carry a maximum of 27 nets in their inventory. The Net Launcher has new sounds that were created from scratch
as the sound effect from Predator 2 was too low quality to use for this update.

SHURIKEN

The Shuriken replaces the Chakram (Smart Disc) in PRIMAL PROJAM. We have created brand new sounds and visual effects for the Shuriken. The Shuriken will kill any light armored target such as Humans or Drones but is less effective against heavily armored targets such as Exosuits, Praetorians and Queens. It still tracks targets but this has less to do with technology and more to do with the fact that it is giant bladed boomerang, and the Predator would know how to curve towards their intended target. Since the player can't manually curve the shuriken during flight themselves, allowing it to track was the only possible option to ensure it did. The Shuriken does not use energy to recall, so use it as often as you like.

SHOULDER CANNON

The PROJAM 5 Shoulder Cannon has been redesigned to kill any light armored target in the game with a single shot. For balance purposes, the Shoulder Cannon will no longer be as effective against heavily armored targets such as Exosuits, Predaliens, Praetorians, Queens, etc.

The Shoulder Cannon can no longer tap-fire plasma bolts. Every shot requires a 1.3 second charge up timer and the firing key must be held in place for the full duration before the cannon will fire. The Shoulder Cannon's tracking technology will automatically acquire targets with the appropriate vision mode, and bolts will fly toward the target. It does not strike with unerring accuracy, so it's best used at short range. The Shoulder Cannon is a powerful, situational ranged weapon, ideal for killing one target at a time. It can also be fired while cloaked.

HAND CANNON

The Hand Cannon is a powerful, hand-held, large bore variant of the standard shoulder cannon. It is much larger than the traditional shoulder mounted variety and is held much like a shotgun in the hands of a Predator. It is modeled after Scar's shoulder cannon from the AVP movie but has a pistol grip modification like the one used by Wolf in AVP Requiem. The Hand Cannon has a 1.4 second charging delay before it can fire but you can move freely during the delay. This weapon was intended to be used as a powerful ranged option against heavily armored targets such as Exosuits, Predaliens, Praetorians, Queens, etc.

Unlike the Shoulder Cannon, The Hand Cannon fires a much larger, greatly accelerated plasma bolt that deals severe direct impact and splash damage in a 1 meter blast radius. The Hand Cannon was intended to be used against heavily armored targets such as Combat Synths, Exosuits, Predaliens, Praetorians and Queens. The Hand Cannon costs more energy than the shoulder cannon to fire so you will have fewer shots between sifting. You also need to score a direct hit to be effective, and your shot must be manually aimed. New models, projectiles, animations, sounds and visual effects have been created for the Hand Cannon.

- The PROJAM Team

PHIL’S SPECIAL MENTIONS
I would like to thank all the talented texture artists that worked on AvP2, Primal Hunt, AvP 2010 and Aliens: Colonial Marines. I was inspired by your hard work and often sampled bits and pieces of your amazing textures to help build upon my own and add a sense of continuity to the world. Your amazing skills pushed me to up my game for Primal Projam and the upcoming PROJAM 5.

JON’S SPECIAL MENTIONS
I would like to thank Phil and Alana for all the hard work they put in to help me weave these final mod releases together. They provided me critical feedback, counsel, inspiration and encouragement whenever I needed it, and they exceeded my every request for original skin work, texture art, models, animations, Etc. I am very proud to have been able to work with these exceptionally talented individuals! I would also like to thank all of the video game developers, movies makers and comic/novel authors who made the AvP universe what it is. Saving the best for last, I would like to extend a special thanks to everyone in the AVP 2 community who enjoyed the old PROJAM releases over the last eighteen years! May these final release mods sate your AvP2 PROJAM nostalgia for many long years to come!

RED'S SPECIAL MENTIONS
I would like to thank both Jonny and Phil for allowing me to join this awesome team. It was a pleasure to be able to go back to this game after many, many years and add in new models and animations with the knowledge I have acquired since I stopped playing and modding it. I would also like to second thanking everyone involved in all previous AvP-related media, but perhaps especially the writers of the novels/comics, as some of them really gave me the inspiration for the feel for some of the new predator weapon animations. Finally, I feel the need to thank everyone in the AvP community, back in the day and now, fellow modders and players both. Modding games was my sanctuary during my high school days, and knowing that there were people out there who enjoyed my work, or fellow modders that I could collaborate with and/or help with their work, gave me a needed creative outlet and kept me seeking to improve my skills over the years.
