The main issue you will face while trying to kill Hunters is their aggressive approach and strength in numbers. Follow the tips below to easily serve some Liber-tea to these Terminids:

• Since Hunters are likely to chase you to no end, it is best to always be on the move while dealing with them
• Diving out of the way of their attacks is not a good defensive strategy, since they can easily kill you by the time you recover from your dive out of harm's way.
• Hunters travel in packs along with other Terminids so you need weapons that are good at crowd control. Shotguns, SMGs, and Assault Rifles excel at this task.
• If you're fighting a whole horde, always prioritize taking out the Hunters to maximize your chances of success.

Now that you've got all the knowledge you need, let's take a look at which weapons and Stratagems you should be packing to hunt the Hunters in Helldivers 2.

As we mentioned above, you will need weapons that are good at crowd control if you wish to make short work of the Hunters. Listed below are some weapons that excel at this task.

• SG-225 Breaker
• JAR-5 Dominator

The SG-225 Breaker is one of the best shotguns in Helldivers 2 and excels at crowd control. The JAR-5 Dominator also falls under the same category, but you can only access it by getting the "Steeled Veterans" Premium Warbond.

Now let's take a look at some Stratagems in Helldivers 2 that will serve you well on your quest to kill Hunters:

• Orbital EMS Strike
• Gatling Sentry
• Mortar Sentry
• Eagle Napalm Airstrike

While the Sentry weapons will provide excellent cover if you find yourself in a pinch, both of the Airstrike Stratagems can be called to eradicate entire hordes at a time.

With these tips in hand, you are now equipped to efficiently kill Hunters in Helldivers 2.
