Hunter is the agile and precise class in Destiny. Hunter is divided into 2 subclasses: Gunslinger and Bladedancer. Gunslinger is the ranged-oriented class with exceptional damage and accuracy. Bladedancer is the melee-focused class that excels in groups and close-quarters combat. While Hunter has less armor than Titan, it has more armor than Warlock.

  • Unlike Warlock and Titan, both of Hunter's subclasses are pure offensive.

Play Style

Gunslinger is the closest subclass to a standard first-person shooter experience. Golden Gun gives you 3 powerful shots that instantly kills most enemies. Gunslinger's melee attack is the Throwing Knife, another ranged attack. Her grenades can into turn into a Landmine that allows the player to protect her flank.

Bladedancer is a fast and stealthy damage dealer that weaves into and out of melee combat. Her super, Arc Blade, allows the player to deal quick and powerful melee attacks. Bladedancer can teleport around the map with Blink Strike and Blink. Additionally, Bladedancer can become cloaked, invisible to enemies, with various upgrades.
