Grenades still do little damage against Hunters, and it will usually take a large amount of them to take one down. However, grenades, handheld or fired from the Brute Shot, will disorient a Hunter, giving the player an opportunity to shoot at its exposed flesh. Perhaps the most effective method to defeat a Hunter would be to stick a plasma grenade to it and shoot it in its exposed back with a beam rifle or sniper rifle.

Hunters are equipped with an extremely devastating Fuel Rod Cannon melded into its arm. Unlike a normal Fuel Rod Cannon, Hunters with their cumbersome bulk and strength are able to withstand the recoil and produce a more lasting and lethal blast. If an enemy gets too close, the Hunter will attempt a clumsy but dangerous melee attack with its shield, severely injuring if not killing the enemy. Once its partner is killed, the Hunter becomes much more aggressive and will chase the player, attempting to avenge its partner's death by only melee attacks.

Hunters in Halo 3 became still more powerful.In Halo 3 they are just as tall as they were in Halo 2 but their armor appears less bulky. Even on Heroic difficulty, at least five shots from a sniper weapon are required to down a Hunter. In addition, their previously vulnerable stomachs are now covered with armor, quashing any chance at getting a shot in when the Hunter rears up to melee. On the other hand, their armor can now fall off in pieces (a feature best exploited with explosives) and their Fuel Rod Beams seem to do slightly less damage.The have also learned two new melee attacks. In addition to blowing off a chunk of its armor, grenades also appear to overall do more damage to the Hunter than they do in the previous games. If you want some entertainment, it is possible to melee a hunter if it is stricken in its weak spots, this does a very decent amount of damage.. This is difficult because you have to get behind them, but is possible. In short, defeating Halo 3's Hunters requires a large amount of patience above all else. Also, on levels that has Hunters and the Arbiter (NPC), they can kill the Arbiter in a matter of seconds on Legendary. Another tactic is to use a support weapon, such as a plasma turret. An example of this situation includes on the level The Ark, on the engagement near the start of the level underneath the covenant anti-aircraft gun, using a turret from the deployable lookout tower. Using this should kill both of them but it will use all of the charge from the turret's battery.
The Hunters in Halo 3 are further upgraded from their Halo 2 counterparts, just as large but appearing less bulky. Their orange areas require far more hits to inflict damage, their previously vulnerable "stomach" areas are covered by armor plating, in addition to performing two new melee attacks in combat, making Hunters more formidable foes than ever. However, their armor now falls off in pieces as the Hunter accumulates damage, and their Fuel Rod Cannon's do slightly less damage, while it appears that grenades and explosives seem to do more damage.
