Hunter Weak Spot

Shoot Any Part of a Hunter's Body

Helldivers 2 - Shoot Hunter

Hunters are not hard to kill if you can hit them. They do not have special armor, and will fall quickly within a few shots.

The trouble is that Hunters can close the distance quickly towards you by jumping. They are not hard to kill, but you still need to be wary not to ignore them.

Use Explosives to Kill Swarms of Hunters

Helldivers 2 - Use Explosives on Swarm of Hunters

While Hunters are not hard to kill, the biggest struggle when fighting Hunters is that they attack in swarms. You can get overwhelmed and surrounded quickly if you get close to a swarm of Hunters.

But because Hunters are frail, some grenades or an AOE damage Stratagem should be able to deal with a whole swarm of them.

Use Melee to Stun Hunters

If you run out of grenades or your AOE damage Stratagem is on cooldown, you can spam your melee attacks to stun a Hunter chasing you. You can then finish it up by shooting it using your weapon!

All Hunter Variations

Pouncer
