    The hunter is one of the most underused infected, if not the most underused infected in mg. One of the main reasons is its low damage It is a very good hit and run infected, but the amount of damage it does is very low. First of all, it seems like initial pounce damage is nonexistent, which I'm not exactly sure why. Second, as well as the hunter is able to incap a survivor somewhat fast when fully buffed, it can never seem to kill a survivor. A fully buffed hunter vs a fully buffed last strength survivor will take a long time to finally kill the survivor. Not too mention that while a survivor is supposedly "pinned" while incapacitating, it can still crawl even with the hunter on the survivor, allowing the survivor to still get plenty of progress before finally dying. It is more worth using a charger to stop the survivors and will also kill them faster. The hunter's purpose seems to have been taken out of mg because of its damage, and i believe there should be 1-3 more levels of damage buffs that the hunter can receive while pinning a survivor, at least versus an incapped survivor, because it seems to be like the hunter is more like the jockey then its own central self. Let's open this for discussion.

    it would be awesome if the hunter do more damage , a skill or upgrade for stop the surv while incapped for 10s or 20s.

    Pounce dmg should be at max 200 or 150 (it would be very high for get that) and while pounce , 10 dmg per second and 30 - 50 while incapped.

    Or do something like Bledding , after a pounce the surv keeps getting dmg (like on sptters after a claw) for 10s or more.

    Those would be great abilities. Also another thing that somewhat ruins the hunter hit and run thing is the escape leap buff only partially works, which sux.

    Agreed - love using hunters but in reality there's no real point in doing so on MG servers. It's gone from IIRC being the best DPS infected to being pretty much fodder. Buffs for the hunter!

    HonorCode worked on an upgraded Hunter (or new/better settings,) that have not yet been applied.

    I helped test it, it rules.

    Give the dev's a little while and it should get implemented.

    I LOVE playing as the Hunter, as you know I'm all about the global pounce distance but now I can get pounce damage?! :D
