How to Get a Predasite (2026): Vizier, Pharaoh or Medjay, and Which Parts to Pick
Weakened capture, Son, Mutagen, Antigen, the three subspecies and gilding
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Pick Vizier for a healer that is also the common spawn, Pharaoh for damage support, or Medjay for a melee biter. Capture a weakened one in the Cambion Drift, then Son in the Necralisk revives it for a Mutagen, an Antigen and 5,000 Credits. The subspecies sets the precepts. The Mutagen sets resistances and the Antigen sets the first polarity.

How to get one, in order
- Finish Heart of Deimos. That gives you the Necralisk and Son.
- Buy a Tranq Rifle and the Predasite Echo-Lure from Son.
- Enter the Cambion Drift and check the cycle. Pharaoh needs Fass, Medjay needs Vome, Vizier shows in both.
- Find a Predasite that Infested are attacking. It shows the Weakened label. Predasites need two tranq shots.
- Buy a Mutagen and an Antigen blueprint from Son, then build both in the Foundry.
- Go back to Son and pick Predasite Revivification. It costs 5,000 Credits.
- Rank it to 30, then gild it with Son for 10 Son Tokens and 5,000 Standing.
The three subspecies
| Subspecies | Precepts | Appears | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vizier | Acidic Spittle, Iatric Mycelium | Both cycles, common | Corrosive spit and healing spores |
| Pharaoh | Anabolic Pollination, Endoparasitic Vector | Fass cycle, rare | Toxin damage buff for allies, Viral tentacles that slow |
| Medjay | Infectious Bite, Paralytic Spores | Vome cycle, rare | Melee finisher and slowing spores |
Mutagen and Antigen, by price tier
| Standing (Son rank) | Mutagen | Resists | Antigen | First polarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,250 (Stranger) | Leptosam | Heat, Puncture | Iranon | Vazarin |
| 2,500 (Acquaintance) | Chiten | Electricity, Slash | Elasmun | Madurai |
| 4,000 (Associate) | Arioli | Cold, Impact | Ibexan | Naramon |
| 6,000 (Friend) | Monachod | Toxin, Slash | Tethron | Penjaga |
Tips that save runs
- Vizier spawns in both cycles, so it is the easy first Predasite.
- Infested attack wild ones on their own. Look for the fight before you spend a tranq shot.
- Pick the Antigen for the polarity you want on the first slot. The Mutagen is mostly resistances and looks.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Capturing a healthy one. Only a weakened one can be revived.
- Skipping gilding. An ungilded companion gives no Mastery and cannot be renamed.
