Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon.

Class Description
"Sinister and precise, the Bounty Hunter specializes in targeting a single foe to deliver its head for the reward. He has found that simply striking before thinking is an ineffective way to kill, so he has taught himself many ways to take advantage of his foe's vulnerabilities. If they wear armor, he can find the weak points in it. If they are reeling from a hit, he'll make a surprise attack to strike it down. Even the enemies who think they're safe behind their frontlines will find that the Bounty Hunter's grappling hook can pull them in or slice them up. And if all else fails, he can drop flash grenades or sucker punch enemies to disorient them. No matter the situation, this calculating killer will have an answer for it."

Combat Skills
"A brutally efficient single-target executioner and crowd control specialist. For the Bounty Hunter, planning is key - mark targets for bonus damage or look for opportunities to capitalize on a stunned foe. He can also wreak havoc on an enemy party's order using his grappling hook, flashbangs and powerful uppercut."

- Guild

Camping Skills
"At camp, like in combat, the Bounty Hunter is all about preparedness. He can take time to study his notes, bettering his odds against typical foes or even specifically 'big game'. Scouting ahead can increase a party's knowledge of lurking threats, while tracking increases the party's chance of maintaining the element of surprise."

- Survivalist

Equipment
"The Bounty Hunter favors a hand-axe and grappling hook, a pairing that allows him to ensnare and execute his quarry with professional efficiency. His tough leather and scale armor grants decent protection, without sacrificing mobility."

- Blacksmith

Each Hero has trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The Bounty Hunter has seven; 2 common, 2 Crimson Court and 1 uncommon, rare and very rare. In the base game, his trinkets are either beast talons or helmets. The Crimson Court DLC adds a bag full of teeth and a list of people he is/was seeking revenge on.

Trivia

 * Three of his skills (Finish Him, Come Hither & Uppercut) are references to the Mortal Kombat series.
 * The predetermined name of the Bounty Hunter is Tardif, a reference to programmer of Red Hook named Pierre Tardif.
 * From the Bounty Hunter's Crimson Court item set (most notably the Vengeful Kill List) it can be inferred that the Bounty Hunter may also fight for revenge, not just money.
