If you mean a dead stop (melee as he's pouncing), then there is a trick: Hunter's box model (the wire-frame model responsible for hit-testing) is way before his rendered body. If you melee it enough times that will kill it too, and is a satisfying way to taunt hunters who get too close to you.
Learn to identify the different sounds each infected make so you know what to prepare for.Īfter you stun it, you can deal with it however you see fit. It requires some practice on the timing to get it perfect, but it's extremely effective, especially since the hunter is so loud before it pounces. You can melee a hunter mid-leap to cancel its attack and stun it.
