'''Hunters''' are a class of [[Guardian]] who uses stealth, hand cannons, sidearms and long-ranged weapons to kill their enemies. Hunters tend to be taciturn, mostly keeping to themselves and using lightweight throwing knives and smoke to disorient their enemies. Hunter Cloaks provide a sense of mystery and excellent camouflage when they are in the wild.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1 '''IGN''': ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref>

== Overview ==
{{Quote|Our old worlds have grown feral - rabid beasts with teeth of rust and ruin. But such beasts are meant to be tamed. Or broken.|[[Grimoire]] Description.}}
Through manipulation of the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light|energies]], Hunters learned how to survive in the wild, assassinate their prey, and reclaim lost secrets of the [[Golden Age]]. They are daring scouts and stealthy killers, experts with knives and precision weapons. Hunters blaze their own trails and write their own laws. Though some fear them as being dangerous, their bravery has saved many lives and led to many discoveries dating back to the Golden Age.<ref>[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''': ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref>

Among the culture of Hunters, Hunters who become close friends are expected to take up the cloaks of their fallen comrades to finish business that they started.

==Class description==
{{quote|Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards. You're no outlaw – at least not any more – but making your own luck has always meant bending the rules. Your unique brand of daring and ingenuity is needed now more than ever.|Class description}}
==Abilities==
All Guardians have certain abilities, some of which are granted by the [[Traveler]], others which may appear more mundane in nature. All Guardians have a double jump ability and a grenade ability whose effects vary by class.<ref>[http://www.destructoid.com/destiny-s-combat-is-solid-but-i-m-not-so-sure-about-the-rest-of-it-273692.phtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter '''Destructoid''': ''Destiny's Combat is Solid, But I'm Not So Sure About the Rest of it.</ref><ref name="Warlock Controls">[http://destinyplayers.com/destiny-warlock-ps4-game-controls/ '''Destiny Players''': ''Warlock controls'']</ref> All these abilities can be upgraded over time and can be used in competitive PvP.<ref name="MMORPG.com Interview with Eric Osborne">[http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/927/feature/7618/Delving-Into-Bungies-Vision.html '''MMORPG''': ''Delving Into Bungie's Vision'']</ref><ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Mail-Sack-of-Your-Dreams/en-us/News/News?aid=10937 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Mail Sack of Your Dreams'']</ref>

==Trivia==
*''[[Destiny]]'' marks the third time a group of entities in a [[Bungie]] game has been named "Hunters", the other two being [[marathongame:Hunter|''Marathon'']] and [[Halopedia:Mgalekgolo|''Halo'']]. It also marks the first time that Hunters are not an enemy class.
*The Hunter's outfit is shown to have a 50:50 fabric to armor ratio. Its visual design is meant to look like they scavenge the wilderness for gear, with torn capes and gear based on HAZMAT material.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref>
*So far, Hunters are the only Guardians that do not have any orders within the Last City, unlike the Titans and Warlocks. It is possible that due to the "lone wolf" mindset of the Hunters and their desire to explore, the Hunters do not tend to have orders bound to the city.
**However, some Hunters organize themselves into Groups, mostly for exploring and assassination missions.
* The Hunters won the second [[Guardian Games]].
