[Predator] What exactly is the Yautja sense of honor?

The Yautja as we see have some semblance of honor - in the original movie, the Predator only hunts people who are armed. Ahnold is able to get a woman to safety by knocking a gun out of her hands.

Later that Yautja has a one-on-one against Ahnold, and here its sense of honor is kind of hard to grasp - it recognizes that Ahnold is a worthy opponent so it ditches its weapons and fights him hand-to-hand. When Ahnold actually wins, the Yautja starts laughing and nukes itself which does not seem like an honorable opponent.

Then I saw Prey and its sense of honor is very questionable here. Yeah, it seems honorable, but it's also showing up in America in 1719 and has lasers and space weapons and an invisibility device and its just fucking up bears and wolves before starting to kill people with muskets and bows and arrows. So I don't see how these creatures are honorable when they are using such ridiculously advanced tech.

So my question is, what exactly is their sense of honor and how do they abide by it?

While not explicitly said in the movie, it is pretty clear that the Predator in *Prey* was, like Naru, a novice on their first hunt. Hence, they start out with a snake, then a wolf, then a bear, then a human. Working their way up the food chain. You can see with the interactions with the snake, the wolf, and the bear that the Predator is *supposed* to use weaponry that is of parity with the prey, but the Predator here is also not skilled enough to do that and falls back on their crutch: explosives and laser-guided weaponry, resulting in their doom.
