Not many traditional weapons work well on the Hunters. Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles only work if you can sneak behind them, but if you get close enough, melee attacks to the unarmored orange section are best, even though none of these methods are 1-hit kills.

Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles only work if you can sneak behind them, but if you get close enough, melee attacks to the unarmored orange section are best, even though none of these methods are 1-hit kills. If you try to sneak behind it, be careful of the Mgalekgolo's back attack, because if they turn around, they'll ginger you with they shield. Dodging a Hunter's shield swing is easy. Simply step to the side, then behind them when the Hunter begins the attack. From this position, you can proceed with melee attacks to the exposed orange back, or shoot them in the exposed area with your weapon. When the Hunter turns around to smack you, simply jump back, and bait it to charge you again. Rinse and repeat. Long range weaponry and vehicles don't work well (except for a sniper rifle shot straight to exposed flesh), because of the hunters' fuel rod cannon (Sniper Rifles or Beam Rifles don't work well otherwise in the front because of the shield for the most part). Scorpions are the exception (excluding ''[[Halo Wars]]'') and so are most explosives. Two Fuel Rod Cannons or Rocket Launchers or one Spartan Laser to any part of the body (besides the shield) will take down a Hunter. [[Gravity hammer|Gravity Hammers]] can also be used to attack a Hunter from either the front or rear, but this is risky because it can make you an easy target for the Hunter's melee. Trying to take down a Hunter by shooting him in the back is a last resort, as Hunters travel in pairs of two, giving the second Hunter an open shot at you. Another tactic against Hunters consists of getting close to them, and when the Hunter starts to chase you to hit you with it shields, you begin to fall back, all of this while firing continually with an Assault Rifle or Battle Rifle (not firing at the shield if you can). This tactic only works in closed areas and it requires a lot of bullets to kill a Hunter (approximately 90 rounds) if you don't hit the orange zone. | ||
