Hunter α/gameplay

In combat, they were both ruthless and vicious, relentlessly pursuing their prey until either the Hunter or its prey ceased to live.

Originally they took two Colt Python shots to take down. But in the Director's Cut of Resident Evil, they only took one Colt Python shot to kill. They've only taken one magnum shot to kill ever since.

The most effective weapon type against Hunters is the shotgun, since its spread patterns nullify some of the Hunters tricky movements.
