Hunter

## B-Skin

Unlocked by looping without picking up a weapon as Hunter

## C-Skin

Unlocked by defeating Inverted Lil' Hunter in the gamemode "Hunter Only Shoot When Marked"

*Hunter has the ability to mark enemies, making the cursor follow them and making it really hard to miss. It has a passive ability to make all its projectiles faster as well as a higher accuracy.*

## Features

Hunter begins with its own sniper rifle and bullet type ammo.

Shots fired from Hunter have 18% more speed, allowing quicker hits, which makes easier hitting enemies from a safe distance, especially when the enemy is marked.

Hunter also has a higher accuracy.

## Special

When Hunter's active ability is used on an enemy, the cursor will change into a sharper version and will follow the marked enemies hitbox. Enemies can be unmarked if the active ability is used again. This active can help in dangerous situations by letting you focus on dodging instead of aiming.

When activating Director projectiles, they will move toward your marker.

## Throne Butt

Marked enemies take 20% more damage, meaning that marking helps you take down bigger enemies by prioritizing them and making them take more damage. Also, the marking cursor becomes green.

Having the damage numbers visible does not show the bonus damage dealt using this.

## Ultra Mutations

 Never Miss |  | Your projectiles home in on enemies.
Eagle Eyes improves the homing strength.
 Focused Fire |  | Projectiles shot by you or enemies will home into your marker.
 Crack Shot |  | Place multiple markers.
Fire at all markers with extra reload time, but no ammo cost.

## Gameplay

Hunter excels at ranged gunplay and can take out bosses with more emphasis on dodging, rather than aiming. The passive accuracy increase makes large spread weapons more viable, especially when combined with Eagle Eyes.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Sharp Stress - A higher fire rate is very useful with Hunter's passive ability, especially with rapid-fire, automated weapons like the Machinegun or the Gatling Slugger.
* Bolt Marrow - You will almost never miss if you use a bolt weapon with Hunter's active ability.
* Throne Butt - Effectively reduces enemy HP by 20%, so long as you mark them when you attack.
* Scarier Face/Glass Arm Cannon - With the Throne Butt mutation that causes marked enemies to take more damage, you can one-shot even more enemies if they have less health.
* Eagle Eyes - Very useful when using Hunter's Active with weapons that have a small spread such as Auto Crossbow or Double Machinegun.

### Unlocking Character

You can use either a well-timed melee weapon swing or Crystal's shield.

### Unlocking B-Skin

The condition for this unlock is not picking up a weapon - your starting weapon does not matter. You will still unlock this if you start with a Golden Weapon, so feel free to choose one if you think it may perform better. Ammo will be a struggle so it's important to pick mutations that will give you ammo, like Recycle Gland, Back Muscle, Lucky Shot, Open Mind, Rabbit Paw, and Extra Feet. Of course, you don't need to take all of these, but ammo is important to conserve and regenerate.

### Unlocking C-Skin

Since you'll need to be in an Inverted Area, the Crown of Inversion and/or Inversion Magnet will aid in reaching the Inverted Frozen City and Inverted Lil' Hunter. In the Shoot When Marked gamemode, if you have automatic weapons, you can hold the fire button, and you will only start when you place the marker.

## Trivia

* Upon looping with Hunter, the Hunter Heavy Sniper will spawn in 1-1, which deals 7 damage per shot (9 with Throne Butt) and takes 4 ammo per shot.
* Hunter's unused race\_back is "Marked enemies that die have a higher droprate. Marked enemies that die decrease reload", although the first part is already one of its Ultras.
