Hunters needs to chill

[Hampamatta]

i am starting to really hate hunters to a level that it genuinly affects my enjoyment of the game, such a small and frequent swarm enemy shouldnt be able to do as much these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can.

they dodge, leap and attack with the highest attack speed of any bug. they can slow and stagger you to an extreme amount that once you try to shoot them to get them off your back most shots will miss and then you need to reload and you are probable cooked at that point. genuinly these things needs an ability straight up removed.

pick one:
Numbers.
Attack speed
Stagger amount
Leap
Dodge
Slow
Damage

all of the above make these the least fun enemy to fight. i rather have 20 warriors over 10 hunters, every day of the week

♥♥♥♥ those things...

They're just at the peak of evolution, deal with it

Defender SMG laughs at hunter attempts to evade or leap 500 feet into the sky (Air multi kill SSStylish!), but it has a rough time with "There is a stalker chewing on my ankles right now oh no" which is why a lot of people are turning to the shotguns vs bugs.

This is somehow considered amazing gameplay for some reason apparently. You walk as fast as a snail with sluggish movements and have to face such trash enemies like hunters with cheated leaping move sets. Peak gaming 2024, not overrated at all.

I am still more angry over shameless no-clipping and cheating over ledges enemies get, like every game ever.

Up a cliff and it is a coinflip if a charger does not just teleport on top of it to keep chasing, or if chainsaw robots start walking waist deep through the rocks to slash at your legs.

"Why didn't you headshot the hulk yet idiot!?" "It keeps jittering up and down by ten feet for every pebble it steps on."

At least "Oh did fromsoft program these?" constant coward dodges on hunters, is intentional annoyance. That does not make it good when you get bored of firing an extra time to put them down so many times you can't consider it a challenge at all. it is just less terrible than the jank based problems too many are desperate to claim is "A deep skill based challenge that adds an element of chaos"

Get scout armor and outrun the planet's rotation, if you're so bothered by that

Guess you havent met Stalkers before. As for Hunters id just like if they didnt attack twice in an ungodly short amount of time. First the pounce then the tongues or whatever they have. Other than that they feel ok imo.

of course i have met stalkers. they are scary (in an actually fun way) and they are fine. because they are actually somehwat easy to deal with. once the lair is gone boom, no more stalkers.

hunters on some missions are ligitimate the dominant bug type. and its infuriating.

Sounds like the DEVs hit a home run. They love to show up at the most in-opportune moments dont they....

My fav is when I start using a terminal.

hunter are basically the anti light armor, they are quick but glass cannon. unfortunately.... were all stuck in light armor currently :P

I actually think Hunters have been stealth buffed recently. They were a none issue for me for several weeks but now, once they get in leaping distance....DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE DIE....

SMG idea sound interesting!

Last night i was running with a pug, but we stuck together and prioritised the bugs getting close to each other and it was ok. Does promote a buddy system quite well.

You can easily outrun Hunters. In fact, you can outrun every single bug except the Stalkers. Keep distance and and take them down. See a cluster? Throw a grenade.

Defender functions like you wish a videogame assault rifle actually did, and is also accurate enough with crouch strafing you have good odds of walking it across medium robot skulls in 3rd person in a single mag.

Just remember the rate of fire on that "70 damage per round" monster IS a flaw. leave it on full auto because if you use burst you will only fire 2 out of 3 bullets quick tapping M1, Remember it can't magdump into a single beefy target as good as it can kill a dozen trash robots or leaping hunters in a row. (on that note. 2nd pistol on full auto is better to whip out for exposed charger knees. revolver is shockingly garbage in spite of that tempting big damage per shot stat)

So there is a reason I use it more often against robots than I do "I need this stalker off my ass RIGHT NOW" bugs. Even if it probably the #1 primary for hunters killed per magazine.
