Hunters and Classes

Thirteen Hunters represent Damage, Support or Tank classes. Players level up and unlock Hunters via in-match currency and post-match rewards.

Game Modes (PvP)

Hunters has four PvP modes, each rewarding strategic teamwork and map control:

• Squad Brawl – First team to 20 eliminations wins.
• Dynamic Control – Single control point rotates around the map; holding it accrues points.
• Power Control – Multiple static control points; score increases based on simultaneous captures.
• Trophy Chase – Teams contest possession of the Trophy Droid (TRO-F33); holding it fills a meter to 100 %.

Grandstand (PvE)

This mode was introduced in Season 5. Grandstand is Hunters’ cooperative PvE mode where teams of four Hunters face AI-controlled squads in arena-style encounters rather than human opponents. This mode is now available 24/7 until the game is closed down on October 1st 2025.
