*A Hunter's previously exposed stomach area is now protected by an armor plate. However, this can be shot off by weapons fire.

Like in Halo 3, Hunters travel in pairs, but there is the odd moment when you will find a lone Hunter. This is possible in Campaign and Firefight. A pack of Hunters may consist of two regular Hunters, one blue Hunter and one gold Hunter, or two gold Hunters. Other than the color, the only difference between the blue and gold variants is the weapon they carry. Gold Hunters carry an Assault cannon similar in function to the cannon used by the Hunter in Halo: CE, but with rounds identical to fuel rod rounds in Halo 3. This means that the round will travel quickly, and with little arc, except for the gold coloration this cannon looks no different from the usual Halo 3 Assault cannon. | Like in Halo 3, Hunters travel in pairs, but there is the odd moment when you will find a lone Hunter.

When one Hunter falls, it becomes much easier to kill the remaining one.<ref>http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=1&cId=3172311&p=</ref> As aforementioned, they are mainly anti-vehicle: they'll get rid of [[Warthog]]s, [[Cobra]]s, [[Wolverine]]s, [[Gremlin]]s and early [[Scorpion]] versions pretty fast. However they're ineffective against infantry, and useless against aircraft. Can be trained inside the [[Hall (Covenant)|Hall]] for 250 resources, a population of 2, and have several upgrades: | ||
