Predator Missile

Call the strike. Take the camera. Guide it home.

Predator Missile is a standalone guided-missile mod that puts you directly behind the weapon. Launch a missile from above, switch into its thermal-style camera, and steer it toward the target with your mouse before the connection is lost.

Custom flight audio, smoke and fire trails, signal-loss warnings, impact effects, and three warhead variants turn a single-use survival item into a complete guided-strike sequence.

Standalone mod: Immersive Aircraft is not required. Outside Creative mode, the Predator Missile targeter is consumed after launch, and each player can guide only one missile at a time.

Why it stands out

• Direct mouse guidance — control the missile instead of simply watching it fly.
• Thermal-style camera — your view follows the missile from launch to impact or signal loss.
• Signal-loss pressure — warnings tell you when the camera connection is weakening.
• Three warheads — choose balanced, high-yield, or controlled-impact behavior.
• Complete presentation — custom model, animations, launch audio, flight sounds, smoke, fire, and impact effects.
• Survival-ready — craftable one-use equipment with Creative-mode support.
• Multiplayer support — every player can operate one guided missile at a time.

How it works

1. Craft or obtain a Predator Missile targeter.
2. Use the item to launch a missile from above.
3. Your view switches to the missile's thermal-style camera.
4. Move your mouse to guide the missile toward the target.
5. Continue steering until impact or until the camera signal is lost.

Losing the camera connection prevents further manual guidance, so make every correction count.

Warhead variants

• Standard Warhead — balanced general-purpose explosion.
• High-Yield Warhead — a more powerful explosion for larger or heavily defended targets.
• Clean Warhead — an alternative warhead designed for a more controlled impact.

Flight and impact presentation
