Not sure if this is unique or "old news," but it was a first for me (in 2.5 years).
Was doing a Challenging phase in the UG toward my weekly, and just after clearing out a room had that long pause where you know "Oh crap!" a Hunter is coming.
Anyway, I was playing solo, so two spawned. I killed one but was hurt from the second one, so I retreated to the opposite end of the room for a few seconds to heal. The Hunter is at the far end, and as he start to advance toward me a door near him pops open and out comes a group of four veteran Rioters! Needless to say since he is the closest thing they attack him, and for probably a good 30 seconds I sat there amused and watched the five of them fight it out. Naturally the Hunter eventually decimated all four Rioters, but was pretty low on health as a result. I probably should have been a good sport and left him time to heal, but instead took a single head shot and finished him off.
Has anyone else seen this? I thought Hunters only spawned when all other NPCs in the area were cleared out. This game may be still buggy as heck, but it's little surprises like this that really remind me why I liked it so much to begin with.![]()
Haven’t had that exact scenario happen. But, have had NPCs spawn if I go back through past areas. Sometimes I’ll stroll leisurely back through an area to hit the restock box behind me. NPCs have many times re-spawned as I head back to the mission. Sometimes I have to engage them, other times they never see me.
The other thing I have seen is that if the fight goes long enough the game will spawn in a JTF squad to help. It's pretty long though, like 5min. I got stuck in a really bad area with my skill build and they kept jamming my skills so the fight went on forever. Was funny to see two hunter go at it with the JTF. As they got axed I moved to a better position and finished the hunters off.![]()

Shame this doesn't happen at wave 15 in Resistance lol.
LOL - wow, in your case ol' Wild Man Pinto finished the Hunter off. Granted that poor Hunter was outnumbered, and I think a named NPC is a lot tougher than four veteran NPCs.
Either way you did the same thing I did - stand back and watch. Kinda cool to see it when it happens, and I am regretting not getting mine on video since the Hunter axed a few of the Rioters and it looked awesome.
LOL - good point! They do seem pretty weak, incredibly low-powered guns, and terrible at squad tactics, don't they?Originally Posted by MWB0311 Go to original post
Of course the quotes are purely random, but when I do a mission and save their arses and after one quips "We were doing just fine without you!" I want to gun that ungrateful &%$@! down on the spot!
