Be The Hunter
If you like teamwork, you're a natural Hunter. Each class has unique skills that can devastate the Monster when properly coordinated.
Assault
Their name pretty much sums it up. Anything looking down the wrong end of their guns winds up dead, fast.
HYDE
Sadistic. Sociopathic. Deeply disturbed. These are but a few of the compliments Hyde has received from those who've seen his handiwork. What bothers Hyde most about this job isn't the sheer amount of death and destruction the Monster has caused – it's that even with his Minigun, Toxic Grenades, and Flamethrower, it makes him only the second most frightening thing on the planet.
Loadout
Flamethrower
Makes close-up extermination of vermin a thing of joy
Minigun
A mid-range solution for chewing through just about anything
Toxic Grenade
This Grenade keeps the hurt on long after it explodes
Personal Shield
Temporarily soaks up damage
MARKOV
We all have dreams. Markov's just happens to be dying in glorious battle. This explains his desire to go toe-to-toe with giant Monsters. But his deadly arsenal consisting of a Lightning Gun, Arc Mines, and an impenetrable Personal Shield means that dream may never come true – and that's just fine with his fellow Hunters.
Loadout
Lightning Gun
Energy weapon that does substantial damage and chain-attacks nearby foes
Assault Rifle
Deal damage at longer range with this powerful automatic rifle
Arc Mines
Explosive mines that can be used for damage, crowd control, or defense
Personal Shield
Temporarily soaks up damage
TRAPPER
These Hunters are the best of the best at tracking the Monster and pinning it down.
MAGGIE
A quiet woman with a past shrouded in mystery, Maggie is a loner. For years her only companion was Daisy, her faithful pet Trapjaw. Who needs friends when you have a 400-pound alien dogbeast at your side? When Daisy finds their prey, Maggie relies on her Machine Pistol and Harpoon Traps to bring it down.
Loadout
Machine Pistol
Efficient and deadly, just like Maggie
Harpoon Traps
Stationary harpoons that can immobilize the Monster
Pet Trapjaw
Daisy tracks the Monster and can also revive her human companions
Mobile Arena
Energy dome that traps the Monster and Hunters inside
GRIFFIN
They make horror movies about the things mounted on Griffin's wall. This veteran Trapper relies on deployable Sound Spikes to keep tabs on the Monster's movements. But when it's time to face off with his prey, he breaks out his Harpoon Gun to pin it down – like shooting a giant, angry fish in a space barrel.
Loadout
Gauss SMG
Best for dealing with the planet's lesser predators
Harpoon Gun
Fires an energy harpoon that immobilizes the Monster
Sound Spikes
Stalk the Monster with these remote sensors
Mobile Arena
Energy dome that traps the Monster and Hunters inside
MEDIC
They keep the team alive and kicking. Luckily, their oath to "do no harm" doesn't apply to Monsters.
LAZARUS
What kind of medic purposely lets his comrades die? One with a badass gun and the ability to restore life to the dead. Slipping past predators with a Silenced Sniper Rifle and Personal Cloak, Lazarus brings fallen allies back from death – even if they're now technically zombies.
Loadout
Silenced Sniper Rifle
Semi-automatic rifle that creates weak points in the Monster's armor
Lazarus Device
Slightly illegal device that instantly revives dead comrades
Personal Cloak
Temporary invisibility allows Lazarus to sneak past threats
Healing Burst
Short burst of rejuvenating energy that heals Lazarus and nearby allies
VAL
Sniper and Medic. Two jobs that normally don't show up on the same résumé. Then again, Val doesn't apply for just any type of position. Her Armor-Piercing Sniper Rifle and Hunter-healing Medgun are the perfect qualifications for someone stalking prey the size of a small asteroid.
Loadout
Armor-Piercing Sniper Rifle
Punches holes in armor, creating weak points for teammates to target
Medgun
Fires a regenerative ray that continuously heals teammates
Tranquilizer Gun
Slows the Monster and tags it for an easier kill
Healing Burst
Short burst of rejuvenating energy that heals Val and nearby allies
Support
These versatile Hunters help teammates hit harder, escape danger, and rain down death on the Monster.
BUCKET
Normally charged with flying the ship, Bucket uses a modified repair drone chassis when the time comes to support his human comrades on the ground. His Guided Missile Launcher, deployable Sentry Guns, and detachable UAV make him more than a match for anything organic.
Loadout
Guided Missile Launcher
Who needs a right hand when you've got Guided Missiles?
Sentry Guns
Multiple floating weapon platforms deploy from Bucket's "chest"
UAV
Bucket's detachable head recons the area and tags the Monster if he spots it
Cloaking Field
Grants temporary invisibility to Bucket and nearby Hunters
HANK
Hank believes in the simple things, like the value of a hard day's work or the joy of indiscriminately firing a Laser Cutter at bloodthirsty predators. Which is why he cherishes the quiet moment after calling down an Orbital Barrage on whatever creature is currently pissing him off. The ensuing bombardment of fiery death really puts things into perspective.
Loadout
Laser Cutter
Cannon that rapidly fires a volley of laser bolts
Shield Protector
Single-target shield that protects fellow Hunters
Orbital Barrage
Summons a massive bombardment from an orbital mining satellite
Cloaking Field
Grants temporary invisibility to Hank and nearby allies
Be the Monster
Everyone loves a good boss fight. Here's your chance to play the other side and massacre four Hunters.
KRAKEN
If the dictionary ever decided it needed a new word to describe the mix between waking nightmare and ungodly horror, it would undoubtedly include an image of Kraken. This tentacled monstrosity unleashes electric death on Hunters who get too close and even those who think they are safely out of range.
Abilities
Lightning Strike
A devastating ranged blast that never needs to strike twice
Banshee Mines
Charged orbs that attach to nearby foes and deal explosive damage
Aftershock
Kraken emits an energetic burst that chains electricity to nearby foes
Vortex
A moving wall of elemental energy that knocks back enemies from afar
GOLIATH
Goliath woke up on the wrong side of angry this morning. Little is known about this Monster because scientists studying the beast wind up getting torn in half. Proving just how unfair natural selection can be, Goliath can not only punch through the hull of a starship, it can also breathe fire.
Abilities
Fire Breath
Spits a jet of liquid flame that does damage to Hunters for a short time
Leap Smash
Devastating jump attack that deals splash damage when Goliath lands
Rock Throw
Rip a huge boulder from the ground and launch it at an enemy
Charge
Rush forward at high speed causing damage and knockback
