Guide
As a hunter, you need to help the murderer. So try to prevent the sheriff from being able to shoot the murderer. You can do this by distracting them and hitting them with your crossbow. Try to use it to keep threats away from yourself and hackers. After all other teams are dead, you then have to survive. The nature of how the Hunter works makes it a rather hard role to win with, so honestly, your best bet is probably to change roles to a more powerful role, e.g. sheriff, although if you decide to keep as the Hunter, then stay as far away from the murderer whilst simultaneously protecting the murderer by using your crossbow against sheriffs. If you are near endgame and the murder team is the last team left, avoid all murderers, and use your crossbow on them. Do NOT hide. All other members of the Murder team can see you at all times, so that is a bad idea. Instead, if there is any other hunters, work with them against the murderers.

Possible threats to hunters:


 * Murderer. The murderer is an obvious danger to hunters. Hunters can use their bow to stun the murderer and make it easier to get away and escape, however you could be leaving them vulnerable to a sheriff shot - you have to remember as a Hunter you need to be alive at the end of the game when there are only murder team members left. (It is however worth noting that you can't shoot murderers before the Murder team are the last ones left or you will be temporarily stunned.)
 * Sheriff. The sheriff can shoot hunters and murderers. If a hunter doesn't attract attention to themselves they won't die, however as a hunter you ideally need to assist
 * Other hunters. Other hunters have the same ability and can knock other hunters off ledges and vantage points. This can leave them vulnerable to murderers.

Information:

- The hunter role was removed altogether in a previous update (it was previously in Team Anarchy), then added again into the Murder team.
