The Hunter is a Chimeran rifle that appears in Resistance: Burning Skies. It fires semi-automatic bursts of controlled energy.

Description

The Hunter is issued to elite Chimeran Hybrids, as the weapons energy density per shot is much greater than that of a standard Bullseye rifle it serves as a fast way to eliminate hostiles. Its secondary fire is to launch a small drone, in what ever direction, which is able to fire upon hostiles. As the nature of this weapon is to pick hostiles off in a quick and clean way, the purpose of the drone is to drive targets out from cover to deliver the killing strike.

“	Hey everybody, Frank again... You want something that'll take a stink down and keep 'em down? Hell yes you do... And we got it. We call it the "Hunter" because we use it to hunt stinks, which is kinda ironic, since that's where we get 'em. From the six-eyed freaks. It's a nice little rifle with penetrating rounds. Oh, and get a load of this... It has a secondary mode. You can fire a drone thing out of where the stinks are hiding and it'll give em' one hell of a jolt - it can waste the bastards in cover if you use it right. And there ain't nothin' I like better than that! Never give up, and never give up. - Frank Touch and Hold the touchscreen to launch a Hunter Drone Steer the drone by touching left or right on the touchscreen.	”

Trivia

• In early previews, the Hunter was previously referred to as the "Automator" or the "C.F.G." (Cluster Fire Gun).
• The Hunter is a Chimeran equivalent of the Marksman rifle. It can be assume the Hunter is the "Chimeran sniper rifle" that was the basis for the Marksman.
