They have gained a new move, too: the ability to attack an enemy behind them. This effectively makes the old strategy of "dodge-and-fire" far less effective.

Finally, the Hunters have much more health. Most small arms do rather moderate damage against them, in contrast to the [[M6D~~|Magnum~~'s]] ability to kill them in a single shot. For example, on [[Normal]] difficulty, it takes 13 shots from the [[M6C Magnum Sidearm]], 6 full bursts from the [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], or 10 shots from the [[Covenant Carbine]] to kill a Hunter.

On [[Heroic]] and lower difficulties, sniper weapons will kill a Hunter in a single shot, as do [[Machine Gun Turret]] and [[Plasma Cannon]]. However, on Legendary, not a single weapon can kill them in one hit. A [[SRS99C-S2 AM ~~Sniper Rifle|~~Sniper Rifle]] or [[Beam Rifle]] will take two shots to kill a Hunter on [[Legendary]].

Often, the most effective weapon against them is the one that does the most damage: the [[Rocket Launcher]] is greatly effective, as is the [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]. While these weapons take two and three shots respectively to kill a Hunter on Legendary, they can damage one regardless of where it hits it. If lacking a sniper rifle and a heavy weapon, simply switch to the Covenant Carbine or the Battle Rifle (BR's slightly stronger). To put one down, aim for the exposed flesh to glint (via baiting it and jumping back at the last second) and empty your rounds. It should take around a magazine (maybe a magazine and a half in Legendary) to kill one.
