Hunter

The Hunter is the name of a player class in Destiny. Bungie Senior Graphics Designer Lorraine McLees described the class as a "combination of speed and strength." Hunters were once outlaws who roamed the wastelands and wilderness making their own luck, and their heritage has led to their characteristic traits of bending the rules, combining daring and ingenuity. It has been suggested by Bungie that Hunters serve as trailblazers amongst Guardian classes, scouting hostile and dangerous areas.

Hunters can be easily distinguished in-game by their signature hooded cloaks, thin builds, and lightly armored outfits. They tend to use stealth techniques to attend their issues.

Abilities
As seen in the E3 2013 gameplay demo, Hunters have an Ability called Golden Gun that supercharges their weaponry. Hunters also appear to have an ability that materializes multiple red projectiles that home-in on and damage enemies.

Design and Inspiration
During a Bungie panel at GDC 2013, Bungie stated that the Hunter class is meant to be reminiscent of the classic "bounty hunter", citing as influences Han Solo and classic characters from old Western films such as Clint Eastwood's the Man with No Name.
