What's up vicietas! VAL here, with a new Left 4 Dead 2 video, in which we will talk
about the bunter, jante.... Hunter!
GENERAL ASPECTS
The hunter is a sort of skater, karateka, junkie
who prefers a casual but trendy outfit at the same time.
He has very long and sharp nails which would come in handy to play the spanish guitar.
He is the only special infected that never makes noise when he is standing up,
but when he crouches, he growls like a panther.
The word vertigo isn't in his dictionary and his favourite sport is the wingfly,
whenever he falls over someone.
His primary attack, I mean, the one performed with the left mouse button, is the pounce,
that is sort of special because the hunter has to be crouched to do it.
His energy bar fills up in just one second.
This attack has two parts: The "jump and grab" part, with variable
damage depending on the distance (and not on height, as people usually think)
And the "funny tickles on the chest" part, which substracts 5 points every half a second, approximately.
The pounce in a near distance makes no damage, in a middle distance takes out 10 points more or less.
At maximum distance, which you have to do from a high place, takes out 25 points.
25 is the maximum. You cannot substract more than 25 points, not even jumping from the stratosphere.
Doors have a trick. If they are in one piece, the hunter will crash against them, making a hole.
If they have already a hole, the hunter will cross them as if they were paper walls
from the Takeshi's Castle show, so it's better to leave them ready.
The hunter will always crash against windows but if he is close to them,
he will cross them. If you want to do things easier, just break the window with the claw and pass.
And remember this attack has stun, so you will push away the survivors that are near to the victim.
A useful tactic on some situations.
The secondary attack, I mean, the one which is made with the right mouse button, is the claw,
that takes away 6 points. It seems that Rochelle is not very upset about...
-Ohh, shut up!
Ok, by the way, like the smoker, he has 250 life points, so he will stay 50 seconds burning away.
TECHNIQUES
The hunter is the special infected who has more techniques, and all of them have already a name
so I cannot invent new stupid names, as I normally do.
The first one is called Wall Jump, and it's done bouncing off a wall against
which you were going to crash in the trajectory of a jump.
You can do it very easily, you just have to turn back when you reach the wall, and click again to take impulse.
You can do this all the times you want, and it's the technique used to bounce on the corridors.
The next one is The Ninja. It's useful to surprise the survivors
because we don't need to crouch, so we won't do any noise until the end.
To do it, you have to put your back against a wall, walk backwards, jump and click.
When you master it, you will be able to do it whilst moving.
When we want to climb to a high place, the easiest technique to do so, is the Vertical Wall Jump.
Some walls, like this one, for example, are invisible, and we will be able to see them
if we say the magical words: HERE'S JOHNNY.
As you can see, the wall is there, and even if we don't see it, we will be able to climb it.
To do so, you have to put your back against it, and leave the crosshair at mid distance from the wall,
as we can see here, then pounce and hold the S key while your are clicking repeatedly until you reach the top.
It seems that we are flying, but if we show the lines, we will notice that we are on a big block.
At perfect height to do a pounce.
The next technique is the Pounce Sliding. Sometimes, depending on the angle and the velocity,
you can slide through some objects to extend your pounce without loosing distance points,
like we do here, bouncing on the fence, and making 25 points.
The Jump Curving is just to make the hunter spin on the fly. For example, we can't see any survivors here,
but if we turn the corner, we could share some love with Rochelle.
How's my hair?
The next technique is the Kai Jumping which is just simply crossing horizontally a wall without touching the floor.
It's a little bit complicated, but it's all in the movement of your wrist.
We have to jump outwards turning quickly the crosshair towards the wall.
With those jumps, hold the crosshair near to the wall because if not, you will jump outwards instead of forward.
An easier way to cross horizontally a wall is doing the Fake Kai Jumping or Automatic Kai Jumping.
If we say again HERE'S JOHNNY, we can see two blocks, pink on the right and salmon on the left.
As we saw before, the salmon block shows us a wall, so to do this technique,
we will stand side to side to the wall, holding the crosshair a little bit further from the wall than with
the standard Kai Jumping, and we will pounce, holding the A and S keys, and clicking repeatedly.
What we are watching is the Vertical Kai Jumping.
You can do it pouncing towards the wall, and turning to the other side in the middle of the jump, then, pouncing again. Always going upwards.
Last but not least, we have the Ceiling Jump, that is one of the hardest because you have to find the exact angle and hold it.
To do so, you have to jump towards the ceiling, move down quickly the crosshair to a middle point and then click.
We can turn horizontally while we are on the ceiling, but if we turn vertically, we will fall down.
WEAKNESSES
The hunter is drawn to survivors that are helpless, so if you are going to attack someone
who is standing which is behind someone that's already on the floor, you are probably going to attack the survivor who is lying down.
To try and solve this the best thing you can do is make a steep angle upwards
and fall nearly vertically on the survivor that is standing up.
This infected, as most of them, isn't very keen on pushes, as we can kill him shoving him 5 times.
As if this weren't enough we can do a dead stop if we push him at the same time that
he is jumping towards us to pounce us. If the survivor stops you, you're screwed.
Another weakness of the hunter is the skeet. Killing him with a shot when he is in flight.
COMBINATIONS
As we have seen in other tutorials, the hunter can steal the victim from a jockey or a smoker
so it will be convenient that he starts the attacks to avoid conflicts.
The boomer will be of great help if we want to eat a survivor as fast food
but it's a big misfortune if one of them explodes near you
because the stun can make us set the survivor free.
As I always say, the spitter is the perfect infected to attack with the hunter because
when the survivor is freed he will get up on a pool of acid
that he won't be able to avoid.
The hunter is not the best infected to do instant kills but,
if we calculate execution times, the charger can seize the moment
when the survivor stands up to charge him to the water.
One thing, be careful on trusting the graphics because sometimes you can go through the survivor
doing the fail of your life.
Last but not least, on some specific points the hunter can make an instant by himself
but if the smoker helps him out, it's best.
