    Survival question about hunter spawn

    Can somebody say if it's normal or a glitch:
    I got a message In DZ that a hunter killed an agent. I went to that location and pulse one hunter (that one who killed the agent).
    The chopper was in landing mode waiting when the hunter is gone etc. I expected to get a second hunter (my one), but there was only one.
    I killed the hunter and after that a second hunter (my one I guess) spawned. I killed him too, the chopper landed and I extracted.

    PS. Yesterday there were a lot of glitches with choppers, like that

    I almost missed on-boarding time frame because of invisible chopper.

    Sorry to hijack, but I’m a fairly new player, and only just started doing DLC runs. I’ve run into Hunters a few times, and only ever managed to kill one.

    Any tip for taking them on? I know they sprint up and insta-kill you with that damn axe that I wish I could have, but are there any good tricks or tactics?

    For me the best spot to extract Bryant Park (DZ3). Craft sniper rifle M44.
    Call a chopper and run at the balcony of the nearest building (the stairs are behind the building). Learn your path before calling a chopper.
    If you have a turret deploy it on top of cargo near the landing zone before calling a chopper.
    Call a chopper in the most north point of the landing zone. After that, run at the balcony and wait for a hunter. It usually comes from south or west.
    Snipe it from the balcony, two headshots in a row are usually enough (sometimes even one shot if you have high FA, about 100k DPS in M44).
    In very rare cases a hunter spawns in that building on the first floor, do not run at the balcony or it will rush you.
    Run away to the north-east part of the location and snipe it from the distance.
    Always(!) keep a good distance between you and hunter.

    @toxicFrag ,

    Thanks for including this screenshot.
    Have you sent this over to Support? If you haven't already, you should send a bug report to Ubisoft Support.

    I was recommended to verify game file integrity.
    I did it and no issues were found.
    But I still have invisible chopper sometimes.
    In some cases the chopper is landing after I on-boarded it.
    Looks like chopper landing animation is significantly delayed.

    PS. Nobody answered to my question in this thread.

    I gave up with ubi tech support about the chopper problem (not a big deal for me) because they wanted me to re-install all(!) Microsoft Visual C++ Redist packages including Microsoft Visual C++ 2010/2012/2013/2015. I'm not doing that. I'm a computer programmer and this sounds like BS to me.

    I think that DZ2 is easiest place.

    Also DZ5 (I think it was) is quite easy.
