Their armor is now more interactive, making it possible to remove portions of the hunters armor through combat. If back plating is removed, there will be a bigger target to shoot at. When the spikes fall off, small stubs of Lekgolo are left where the spike used to be. Hunters are also able to be killed by melee attacks again, as in [[Halo: CE]]. However it seems that Hunters are more vulnerable to melee attacks in [[Halo 3]]. Their Assault cannons do slightly less damage, while it appears that [[grenades]] and explosives seem to do more damage to them compared to the other two games and can kill instantly if stuck on the back or neck on Heroic or a lower difficulty. Gravity Hammers can also do a great deal of damage if hit in the exposed part of their back. Meleeing them with a Brute Shot in the back usually blows off its covering armor plating, but hitting the unprotected part instantly kills it, and strangely sends the Hunter flying 30 feet in the air. This may be a glitch or just something Bungie mistakenly left in ''Halo 3'' after development, this can be done with other species too. Theoretically, they could be killed from the front using a very precise slice to their neck from the [[Energy Sword]]. | Their armor is now more interactive, making it possible to remove portions of the hunters armor through combat.

The most effective weapons against them are [[ | The most effective weapons against them are [[Weapon types#Turret|turret weapons]] and explosives. The [[Spartan Laser]] is the only weapon capable of scoring one shot kills on Legendary difficulty, and its accuracy makes it possibly the most useful anti-hunter weapon. It is also possible to kill a Hunter in one ram with a fast moving vehicle. The [[Missile Pod]] and [[Rocket Launcher]] can tear apart Hunters, as can dual plasma rifles if you hit them in their unprotected backs. A very effective, albeit difficult to use weapon is the energy sword, as one lunge at the unprotected back can kill it on Heroic. This is very hard to do because of the difficulty closing the distance, and the rareness of the energy sword in Halo 3's Campaign. | ||
If a Hunter is unaware of the player or his allies, it will usually stand still. This is the perfect chance for the player to use a powerful scoped weapon such as the [[Sniper Rifle]] or an explosive weapon with slow projectiles and arc effects such as the [[Fuel Rod Gun]], [[Plasma|Plasma Grenade]] or [[Spike Grenade]]. If the player is in front of or on the side of the Hunter, he can use the explosive weapon on it, which will keep it from attacking you while you attack it. If he is on its rear, the best choice would be the scoped weapon, keeping a distance and shooting it in its exposed back. Of course, if he has the [[Rocket Launcher]] or the [[Spartan Laser]] with him, he should face the Hunter and destroy it with one shot. One way to get to a Hunters back is to have one teammate shoot the hunter in the front, (wasting ammo so use a plasma pistol, or an [[SMG]]) while the other player sneaks around the back and sticks it. | If a Hunter is unaware of the player or his allies, it will usually stand still.
