On legendary there menace the 2 in tip of the spear that guard the AA gun always gave me trouble due to the fact their in amazing position and your pretty much slap out of ammo by the time you reach them. The night club ones to in new Alexandria were also rediclosely overpowered. When I did reach on legendary I felt that oh shit moment. I was genuinely scared to fight them because I knew I couldn't just one tap them like in previous games.

I like to think that the hunters actually evolve, not as upgraded gameplay, in CE, they can be one shot, not as a game mechanic, but as a first experience, then they learn that if they cover their… spine? They won’t die instantly. And they learn to talk and strategize in 2, so they actually *evolve* well, that’s what I like to think Also, idk why, but one of my favorite things to do in halo, is just to unload ammo on hunters, even if I know it barley does any damage, there just very satisfying to shoot

Halo 3 is my favorite aesthetically. Seventh grade, it was a good year. Their improvements in H2 had me so fascinated that by the third game to build on that was mind boggling. The armor was beautifully detailed. Something that was well above all the other species. The worms moved nicely. The back and forth between them as they adjusted and maneuvered. The noises in between shots, although eventually annoying and repetitive. They were the top appearance wise. Sharp. On the first encounter I could see why they’re dropped as equipment the way they marched in and lit it up. If they were matched with the aggression and durability of H5 I think they’d be perfect.

Nice to know that Halo 5 Hunters are naturally OP and aggressive, I thought I just sucked facing them. They’re especially annoying in one particular map in Warzone Firefight when they’re the bosses for the final round. What makes them difficult is that they spawn in the garage you spawn in at the start of the game, making the option of just blasting them with a Scorpion, Wraith, or Mantis almost impossible as its difficult to get a clear shot at them. Which means you often have to get up close in personal, and that makes you an easy target for the Hunters and the dozen other Grunts, Jackals, and Elites alongside them to shoot at you.

@@Captianmex1C0 I have done the Gravity Hammer/Overshield combo against those Hunters on several occasions. But I really only did it when I had no way of harming them with any sort of vehicle. I don’t remember if I was ever able to knock them off the ledge so that the other players in vehicles have a clear shot at them, but that’s actually a good strategy though. What are some weapons with splash damage that I can use that could use to better push them off the ledge?

I found odd that they never had a massive redesign by 343, based on the fact that a redesing can be easily justify by been a colony of worms, good that they didn't redesing them tho. I also wanna point out that the newer shields are the classic difficulty shield, big detail that I recently noticed.

Honestly, the Hunters from Halo 5 to me, is a sign that the Hunters are learning as the years go by in-universe. They're learning the tactics used by Spartans and are countering them to the best of their ability. Swatting away grenades and rockets? Improved accuracy with their weapons along with having a second firing mode for Long-Range? Pulling their shields up, heck even dodging heavy weapon shots? These guys are definitely getting smarter and I like it!

"offensively, hunters can be quite challenging, even on lower difficulties..." then proceeds to talk about how much of a joke they are to kill btw ODST is my favourite game, and while it's extremely difficult you can 1 shot a hunter with a spike grenade to the back on legendary. I did this once and could never recreate it, I think it requires a really great angle on your throw and perfect landing spot, as well as good rng on where the spikes fly, but yes you can 1 shot them with these grenades, albeit unreliably. It was also fun trying to predict their melee to use the assault rifle with the half damage nerf from halo 3.

My favorite Hunter is 2's. They're stronger than CE's but not strong enough to hold up the player for very long in their sections. They mesh well when paired up with other enemies like in Regret with a sort of tank support role. I think 3's are designed the best and fit their intended role better but I much prefer 2's iteration for having a fun time with them. Also, having the Hunters on your side in that section on 2 was super badass.
