The Hunter has been seen using its two front limbs to impale a target, most notably when attacking Alyx in the beginning of Episode Two. Again, this will do a large amount of damage and may even send its target flying. Finally, should the foe be in reach and the Hunter is not charging, it will use the talons on its legs to slash the opponent. However, if it misses and runs into an unbreakable object, then the Hunter will be temporarily dazed from the impact. Should it hit however, the Hunter can do a large amount of damage to its target. While it's charging, the Hunter is unable to turn quickly. In melee, the Hunter can also use its body as a ram to break down walls, doors or vulnerable foes.

They are highly skilled with the launching of the flГ©chettes, leading its target (shooting ahead of a moving target to compensate for its movement) in addition to walking its fire onto a target (shooting at a point near the target and shifting its aim towards it). The flГ©chettes are only made more dangerous with the Hunter's firing tactics. Additionally, should the flГ©chette hit a solid object, it'll deal splash damage within a small radius. These fire large, fast flГ©chettes with a small spread which do large damage upon a direct hit, capable of vaporizing biological matter with a few hits. The Hunter's main weapons are the pair of flГ©chette launchers located on its forward surface. Since Hunters are resourceful and quick-thinking Synths, they employ a number of useful tactics to increase the chance of hitting a target - for example, making use of splash damage, and closing distances with a charge. Since the flГ©chettes move slowly compared to bullets, the Hunter has trouble against long-distance enemies but can cover ground quickly. A Hunter will normally attempt to engage opponents at medium range, allowing it to fire flГ©chette rounds with great accuracy. While helping to suppress the rebels who are attempting to stop the Striders, they prioritize Strider Busters that are launched, giving the strider a much higher chance of survival.ДЄlthough possessing less firepower and armor than their larger tripodal cousin, Hunters are much more agile & fast. The Hunter's most important role is to provide an escort for the Striders in the final battle of White Forest. If multiple Hunters are deployed in the same mission area, they use pack hunting tactics like flanking & suppression fire. Hunters appear to only be deployed in forests and rough terrain areas as their design appears to be more suitable to such environments as opposed to urban areas. They can also be disintegrated by Energy Balls, an effect that is only achiavable when the balls come in contact with organic matter.

They seem to possess an implanted armor rather than a full metal body and the possible blood substance produced by them when hurt also suggests organic matter. It could be argued whetherВ HuntersВ are Synths or Cyborgs as the Overwatch Soldiers due to their vulnerability to gunfire. Unlike any other Synths, they also appear to leak some sort of white-grey fluid, perhaps blood or blood substitute, when shot. Like all Synths, Hunters possess a number of vocalizations, all of which are shrill, fierce, and slightly electronic. They are also highly mobile, able to easily move out of the way of projectiles. Hunters have heavy blue colored armor on their bodies and take reduced damage from most forms of small firearms. There is also an organ-like body located in the rear right area of the hunter's posterior. Located directly underneath the launchers are two small limbs tipped with metal blades for impaling targets, behind those and on the back are two oval shaped orifices. On the left side of the Hunter's body are what appear to be three compound eyes, and a pair of vertically aligned flГ©chette launchers are located on the Synth's front. The synth is tripedal, much like the Strider it has three muscular legs attached to the sides & back of its body, ending in a pair of extremely sharp barbs. The Hunter's body and legs are partially encased in an iridescent blue-green carapace.
