Hunter Droid

The Hunter Droids are hostile droids appearing from Mount Whirl and onwards.

Appearance
The Hunter Droid is a droid with green limbs and head, a brown torso and a black face bandana. Its helmet is dark green.

Behavior
When a Hunter Droid first spawns, it has a typical aggro range and. However, 1.5 seconds after it spawns, the Hunter Droid will triple its and increase its aggro range significantly, charging at the nearest player in its sight.

Combat Tips
Hunter Droids have low but can deal a lot of, so it is best to be wary whenever they spawn. Hunter Droids play a distinct rev sound before they accelerate, which can alert you to their presence if you cannot see them (especially in Lush Jungle because the game loves to hide Hunter Droids in the trees)

Backpedaling as Hunter Droids approach will increase the time they take to reach you. Time your attack such that you lunge right before the Hunter Droid enters your sword's range. Jumping can also reduce the you take from them. If you have a high jumping speed, jumping will cause the Hunter Droid(s) to stop moving while you are in the air.

Using slingshots to attack Hunter Droids is also effective, as not only do they have low, but they also take 5x. Crossbows are not recommended as they overkill them, wasting.

Protected Hunter Droids can be countered simply by jumping on its head, as the helmet does not deal unlike other droids.

Hunter Droids can be slowed down significantly with the Neutralizer, making them easy to deal with.
