Evolve Official Strategy Guide › HUNTER TRAINING

Hunters Loadout

Each Hunter has a selection of gear to deal damage, help out teammates, or trap the Monster. Learning how to best use each character’s equipment while playing your role in the group goes a long way in taking down the Monster.

Four buttons select each of the four abilities. Some, such as the Personal Shield, are instantly used, while others require a second button press to deploy.

The circular graphic in the lower-right corner displays your four skills, as well as the button that uses each. As one is used, the blue background is depleted. Some weapons can be reloaded to top them off, while the rest of the skills regenerate as they cool down. This allows you to quickly see when each ability is available.

For complete information on using each character’s skills, refer to the Hunters chapter.

Class-Specific Skill

ClassClass Skill
Assault Personal Shield
Trapper Mobile Arena
Medic Healing Burst
Support Cloaking Field

While the characters have their own unique selection of equipment, each class shares a skill between them. This is the only skill that does not attribute to Character Mastery.
