Wolf's helmet was heavily inspired by the City Hunter from Predator 2. Added to that basic outline were a grey, stone-like color scheme and texture, as well as thorns and marks on its forehead plate; it is unknown whether those marks have any ritual or religious meaning akin to the Alien symbol drawn by the Predators of the first film. As Wolf is an experienced hunter to the point where it tries to shoot Aliens at point blank the directors wanted his Wristblades to be shorter, and his body to be less covered in armor. In addition to dual Plasmacasters, the Combistick, the collapsible buzz saws and said Wristblades, the Predator came with a new paraphernalia: a 'Power Gauntlet' housed in the left forearm that allows enhanced strength packed in a single punch, mines, the Dissolving Liquid (all designed by Chris Howe), and the Whip. The last was in particular the key weapon of Wolf who wraps it around enemies to slice parts of them off. It was not originally scripted; Colin Strause said: "the whip was actually that was one of the really cool surprises that ADI brought to the table. In one of the first meetings, all of us started looking at this one design at the same time, which was a Predator whip. All of us, the light bulb went on, 'We gotta have that. This has to be in our movie'; and we wrote it into the film after just seeing it on that design."
