But that first encounter doesn't even compare to the second encounter in Chapter 10. You get a taste of its ability to instill pants pissing fear in the medical deck.
After moving through a tedious sliding block puzzle with bunk beds in the sleeping quarters, you come to the nav card you were looking for! Aha! But then all of a sudden, you hear Dr Mercer on your comm and the fucking Hunter drops through the ceiling to join you. In a space about 5m wide. :I
See, the first runthrough of the game I did, I hadn't upgraded my stasis module at all. I barely used it. So the approved tactic of knocking the hunter on its arse and freezing it as it was getting up, didn't work well.
The sheer panic I felt, having to do a fucking block puzzle, while continually fending off a literally unkillable enemy that was no more than 2m away constantly...holy fuck.
I died about 10 times before escaping the bunk room. Then as soon as I did, it dropped on my head from overhead, causing me to shit myself and scream as it performed an instakill. Needless to say, I said 'fuck this SHIT' and quit. I went back to it later. :I
Then of course, as you're running from the motherfucker it's jumping into vents and busting out of them behind you. Even blast doors won't stop it, cos it just fucking GOES AROUND THEM!
