How to Beat Ravenous Hunter

How to Beat Ravenous Hunter


Focus Attacking the Head

Ravenous Hunter's weak spot is its head and attacking it allows you to deal damage more efficiently than attacking any other part of its body. Focus your attacks on this to quickly deplete its health bar.

Eliminate the Spawners

Upon depleting the second and fourth health bars from Ravenous Hunter, it teleports away from the battlefield and becomes immune to your attacks.. At this point, it will generate Spawners in the area that will create Gnawers which will attack you.

Destroy both Spawners to get Ravenous Hunter back in the fighting area and remove its immunity. Destroying the Spawners will also instantly cause any Gnawers in the area to disappear.

Throw the Oil Drums

In addition to your weapons, there are oil drums in the area you can use to deal damage to preserve your ammo. Interact with these and throw them to deal a big chunk of damage to either Ravenous Hunter or to Spawners.

Ravenous Hunter Attack Patterns

Gatling Gun

Ravenous Hunter's primary attack will be with the gatling gun on its arm. While this can quickly drain your health, you can easily avoid this by hiding behind the structures in the area. You can wait out the attack and once the gatling gun overheats, you can peek and start attacking.

Rocket Attacks

Ravenous Hunter has two rocket attacks with the first being a projectile attack. This attack is fairly easy to dodge as you can simply hide behind the structures in the area.

The other rocket attack can be more tricky to dodge as it is launched upwards into an area. To dodge this, observe the direction of the rocket and then roll out of the way before it lands. You can also see where it will land by observing the red circle on the floor.

Acid Attack

Another attack Ravenous Hunter has is where it spits out acid in various directions. You can anticipate this attack as it bites its left arm before spitting the acid. The acid lingers for a few seconds so be mindful of the area after dodging the attack.
