I’m pretty sure we all loved how Hunters spawned out of nowhere during Underground or Survival. We need that same feeling. Instead of having to do puzzles, just give us random encounters in open world , dark zone, missions , future game modes.

Few of us will say doing puzzles to spawn Hunters is fun, but we like the thrill and the surprise effect when they just spawn randomly. Yes, we got Rogues spawning, but they are less intimidating than Hunters.

I still remember the first encounter in that “?”-activity where we had to answer to a distress call from a fellow agent. That encounter gave me chills, because I wasn’t expecting it.

If you make us do puzzles to “spawn” Hunters, there’s no exciting thing about it, because in our heads we already know it’s a Hunter - it gives us time to mentally prepare - and it gives away the surprise effect we so much want. So it disappoints players.

So please, in future updates, give us random encounters with Hunters. And who knows, we might even get Rogues spawning and Hunters at the same time and it would then be so chaotic SHD agents vs Rogues vs Hunters. That’d be epic.

I can definitely agree with the sentiment. The first time I heard a Hunter in the middle of the night and my screen started getting glitchy I wished I had brought my brown pants. One of the scariest moments in the game!
