This add-on improves the Hunter's AI to a level that is more threatening to survivors. The major changes are as follows.
- Prevents claw attacks from shoved Hunters - When the Hunter pounces a survivor, nearby survivors will stumble. - If pounced by a Hunter who has fallen from a high place, will receive extra damage. - The delay between the Hunter's leap and leap is reduced. - Hunters who have been shoved back recover quickly. - Hunters perform a deception/evasion leap when they are clearly aware that they are being targeted. - Hunters can step on walls and leap again. - Hunter's flee leap is converted into a pounce leap.
