Much like Interceptor and [[Scout]] class ships, Hunters have been observed both emerging from [[Hyperspace]] and Interdicting human ships from [[supercruise]]. So far this has been witnessed around Maelstroms and systems actively under Thargoid Invasion or Control. | Much like Interceptor and [[Scout]] class ships, Hunters have been observed both emerging from [[Hyperspace]] and Interdicting human ships from [[supercruise]].

Scythe variant is equipped with vessels similar to Human hatch breaker limpets in function. Hunter uses them against unshielded Human ships with escape pods onboard, causing cargo jettison. | Scythe variant is equipped with vessels similar to Human hatch breaker limpets in function.

Following their appearance outside Maelstrom systems, it has been confirmed Hunters are capable of generating a field that degrades nearby [[Guardian]] technology (including Guardian-Human hybrid modules), similar to the pulse produced by the Orthrus class Interceptor. This field can quickly render Guardian-hybrid weapons inoperable, making it advisable to equip Human AX weapons during encounters. | Following their appearance outside Maelstrom systems, it has been confirmed Hunters are capable of generating a field that degrades nearby [[Guardian]] technology (including Guardian-Human hybrid modules), similar to the pulse produced by the Orthrus class Interceptor.

The Hunter is a relatively weak vessel, with [[AX Multi-cannon|Enhanced AX Multi-cannons]] being sufficient to take one down. However, the Hunter will immediately start with its shield up, and will regenerate it rapidly when using lightning. It is quite weak to the Thargoid Seed Mines found in the vicinity of the Titan and one to two detonations within range can kill an unshielded Hunter with ease. Scythe variant is even weaker and | The Hunter is a relatively weak vessel, with [[AX Multi-cannon|Enhanced AX Multi-cannons]] being sufficient to take one down.
