We had 3 Random Encounters with a Solo Hunter in the LZ so far (since last patch)
one just now in the middle of the last manhunt bounty, screen became jiggerish and there he was fighting the enemies, we killed him, no drops no other indication that it was something special.
is this a bug, a secret new feature or what?
anyone had anything similar?
I got them a couple times in manhunt bounties. First time it appeared out of nowhere, right next to me, (like in the old survival days when the hunter would spawn right in front of you five steps after you popped the flare), smacked me with an axe (dead and done, no revive, start bounty over) and disappeared. Didn't fight other enemies. (I watched as I lay dead wondering wtf just happened.) Second time it was fighting the enemies and just disappeared as I looked at it. Got a couple shots in, but it was gone too quick for me to kill it.
I see them frequently but there behaviour is weird. Sometimes they'll run up to you do a dance and then run away.
Some of them drop a weird smg that fires ping pong balls or something cant remember its name. Got one in summit on Friday.
Other times they run up drop loot and run off through a door. Totally weird
I've been coming across some random, unusual looking NPC's the last few weeks. Thought they might be hunters or rogues. They're usually running away from a group of standard NPC's. Sometimes they fight me, sometimes they keep running until i kill them. Had one stop and looked like he was waving in a chopper, jumping up and down waving his arms.
Anybody else seen these guys?
This was a troll or whatever they get called they run away , hunters are black and your screen goes fuzzy and they leave in a puff of smoke , normally you only see them in the dark around open world but lately they have been fighting in bounties.. When you do kill them they just drop normal open world junk.. Only the hunters you have to run all over to activate drop anything any good , and that is usually a mask..Originally Posted by CalvyB Go to original post
This is not a Hunter. Some call him the "loot goblin" as he drops his gear normally before he is even killed and many times will run away.Originally Posted by CalvyB Go to original post
Gun your referencing is called the Sleigher. It actually shoots snowballs not ping pong balls
The hunters in the manhunt bounty are only part of the manhunt. They're not supposed to be killed so far. Although I did kill mine as well. The hunters in the open world that show up randomly again are not supposed to be killed. They do nothing they run away when you see them.Originally Posted by Merlinsdragon1 Go to original post
