- "Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards. You're no outlaw – at least not any more – but making your own luck has always meant bending the rules. Your unique brand of daring and ingenuity is needed now more than ever."
- — Class description
The Hunter is a type of Guardian who uses stealth and long ranged weapons to kill his/her enemies.[1]
Abilities
All Guardians have certain abilities, some of which are granted by the Traveler, others which may appear more mundane in nature. Thus far, all Guardians have demonstrated some form of high-damage ability (Warlocks/Nova Bomb, Hunters/Golden Gun, Titans/Fists of Havoc), as well as a "grenade-type" ability whose effects vary by class. Additionally, both the Warlock and the Titan are confirmed to have double-jump abilities. The Warlock's ability, "Glide", has only been named and confirmed in writing:[2], while the Titan's double-jump ability has been demonstrated during gameplay[3]. While it is likely that, in the interests of balanced gameplay, the Hunter has a similar double-jump ability, to-date it remains unconfirmed. What has been confirmed is that these abilities can be upgraded over time.[4], that they can be used in competetive PvP, and that the abilities demonstrated thus far merely "scratch the surface" of what will be available.[5]
The Hunter has 2 known special abilities:
- Golden Gun: The Hunter's weapon is charged with golden energy that deals large amounts of damage to a target.[3]
- Another ability (confirmed as the Hunter's "grenade-type" ability[3]) is the creation of several red explosive projectiles which float in the air & home in on nearby enemies.[3]
Trivia
Destiny marks the third time a group of entities in a Bungie game has been named "Hunters", the other two being Marathon and Halo. It also marks the first time that Hunters are not an enemy species.
