All Hunter skills in Remnant 2

• Hunter’s Mark – Increases Hunter’s spatial awareness by casting an aura that automatically applies Mark to all enemies within 35 meters. While senses are heightened, Hunter also gains 15 increased ranged and melee damage. It lasts for 25 seconds with a 70-second cooldown. Mark increases critical damage by 15 percent against an enemy for all allies.
• Hunter’s Focus – Heightens Hunter’s senses, which causes aiming at an enemy for 0.01 seconds to apply Mark. Continuously aiming down sights uninterrupted and without shooting for one second causes the Hunter to enter a Focused state. The Focused state will reduce weapon spread, recoil, and sway by 75 percent and grants 25 percent ranged and ranged weak spot damage and 10 percent ranged critical chance.
• Hunter’s Shroud – Hunter becomes Shrouded, reducing enemy awareness and making them harder to hit while moving. Attacking or activating a mod or skill will instantly exit Shroud. Exiting Shroud applies Mark to all enemies within 10 meters and grants Ambush for two seconds. Ambush increases ranged and melee damage by 50 percent, which diminishes over its duration. Ranged and Melee attacks apply Mark. Hunter will automatically Shroud again after 1.15 seconds if no offensive action is taken. Has a 90-second cooldown.
