Overall, the weapon isn’t much different from a regular rifle. This man can disappear if you progress the story in Garbage to the point where you head towards Wild Island, but the weapon should still be there for you to grab.

You can find the Predator shotgun in Zaton. This is actually bugged right now, as the chest with it isn’t spawning for most people. But, it can be found in the Izumrudne location, in the centre of the region.
