Long War of the Chosen Main Page
Hunter
Hunter
Soldiers in the Hunter class are equally adept at both picking off enemies at long range and cleaving through approaching hostiles with a blade. ADVENT will never know what hit them.

Class Overview

The Hunter's unorthodox combination of sniper rifle and sword makes them deadly at any range. The Marksman path can execute devastating ambushes with First Strike and then vanish with Fade, while the Tracker can fight on the run with Snap Shot and Double Time while detecting enemies beyond line of sight with Tracking.

Weapons

Primary: Sniper Rifles

Secondary: Swords

You can target enemies within squadmates' sight, provided there is line of sight to the target.
Fleche
