Description The Hunter is an MRAP used exclusively by NATO forces in ArmA 3. The Hunter is a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle manufactured by US arms factories to provide troops with enhanced protection. The armored hull can withstand light weapons and protects the crew against landmines and improvised explosive devices. Even though the heavy armor and powerful engine cause increased fuel consumption, it has been favored by frontline troops over the light vehicles for its easy maintenance and good protection level.
Armed version of the sturdy Hunter MRAP vehicle is fitted with a Remotely Controlled Weapons System turret. The turret is fitted with the universal 12.7mm heavy machinegun or the multi-role 40mm Grenade Machine Gun. The armed Hunters are used for troop transport in combat zones, as light reconnaissance vehicles or even in fire support role in COIN operations.
It is available in three variants; a baseline unarmed version that has no weapons mounted on it, and two separately armed versions that have a mounted RCWS turret. The RCWS turrets on the armed variants can either utilise a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun or 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.
The driver sits in the front left seat, with two small armoured front windows providing a narrow view of the area in front of the vehicle (at the cost of reduced visibility). The front-right and rear seats can hold anywhere from one to three passengers, of which none have any control over any of the vehicle (except in the case of the armed variants).
The Hunter is directly based on the real-world "M-ATV" MRAP designed by the Oshkosh Corporation (parodied as an in-universe product of the "Rozkos" company).
