Npc hunter

Template:Ep2 point It is a three-legged synth that is large enough to be imposing, but small enough to enter buildings. It has 360° vision thanks to the antennae mounted on its back.
Hunters are armed with flechette cannons, which fire bursts of needle-like projectiles that cause damage both on impact and also when they explode a few moments later. They can also lash out with one of their front legs or impale with their mandibles (seen beneath the "eyes").
Hunters appear similar to Half-Life 1's Houndeye monsters, and the legacy DoPhysicsBlast input further supports the idea that they are a derivation.
KeyValues
- Strider to Follow
<targetname> - The name of the strider that this hunter should escort. Todo: Does this enable the AI behaviour from Ep2's climax on its own?
