    Hunters in the underground - fixed quantity?

    Are the encounters always a fixed size? Is it based on Underground level, party size, or difficulty (or other)? I'm hoping that the encounters go up in size as at the moment I get two of them and it's too easy.

    BTW, the addition of hunters in the underground was a brilliant idea, well executed. When I'm waiting for the waypoint to update, but suddenly my skills get jammed, "WARNING, INCOMING HOSTILES" blasts down my 'phones, smoke grenades pop at the entry points, and the hunters bowl in LIKE BADASSES. Everything about it is great, more of these semi-scripted encounters please, Massive!

    Yes, it's always group size plus 1.
    So when solo you get 2 hunters, to a maximum of 5 hunters if you're in a full group.

    This is correct.

    Bah, cheers for the answers, shame there's no chance of more appearing. Even 'too many' would be okay, I wouldn't mind the slim chance of an almost unwinnable fight happening

    Tailor your engagement.

    Don't use your skills and engage them with your sidearm only. Or something like that.

    Just don't let them get close lol........
