Equipment

More adept Hunters are able to use specialist equipment in the field which can significantly improve their effectiveness in many areas. Equipment is only available from Level IV upwards. This is when the first equipment slot becomes available. Your Hunter will be able to hold two pieces of equipment for a contract at Level VI. The third is unlocked when your Hunter is Level IX.

Equipment has different benefits, but can be categorised as: Scanners, Medical, Ammunition, Weapon Accessories and Armour Accessories.

A Scanner can be used to check an area for enemies that are currently not in your team's line of sight.

Passive Scanner - (Passive)

Passive Scanner will reveal all hidden units within a certain radius of the Hunter.
