Hunters

This article is about the hunters as a whole, for information and details on the individual, please see the pages for Deetz Hartman, Derrick Duggan, Big Earl Flaherty, and Johnny James

The Hunters are a group of psychopaths in Dead Rising 2. The group consists of four men with sniper rifles. Their names are Deetz Hartman, Derrick Duggan, Big Earl Flaherty, and Johnny James. They each take a rooftop around Fortune Park and attempt to kill Chuck, along with any other survivor, in addition to taking out the zombies. It is advised that Chuck kill the Hunters before you bring survivors into Fortune Park.

The Hunters will leave once the military rescue arrives.

Melee
To defeat them, Chuck must climb up onto each rooftop via ladders in alleyways. Each sniper shot they hit Chuck with takes out 2 blocks of health, so when traversing the park to get to each sniper, run left and right to decrease the chance of Chuck getting hit. Take cover behind one of the air conditioners if you need to heal or try to get a good shot with a gun. BLARG

Ranged
The only weapon accurate enough to deal with them is another Sniper Rifle. Each of the Hunters will take about 19 rounds of a sniper rifle before falling, and will get in a counter-knock-back shot in the amount of time it takes you to get two rapid shots in. Mixed-drinks for full-healing will be required to defeat any of them as well as an area to shoot from where Zombies cannot reach (any areas with water are good).


 * Start with Johnny (on the roof of the Royal Flush Plaza) because in the alleyway, that you use to get onto the roof, is a maintenance room where all the items required for a rocket launcher are available. So if you make one then go up and kill Johnny you can make another one on the way down to replace it.

Trivia

 * They are also known as Rednecks.
 * The Hunters bear some similarity to the Hall Family from Dead Rising, hunting and killing both zombies and humans, albeit for sport rather than survival. They also bear some resemblance to the Convicts because they are all male and are always in the park section of the game.
