Destiny 2: The Struggle of Hunters in Contest Equilibrium – Why So Low?

A recent analysis of data from over 4,000 teams in the contest mode reveals a significant issue with the Hunter class. As Reddit user iconoci highlighted, a staggering 78% of players chose not to include a Hunter on their teams. This clearly shows the community feels Hunters are currently hindering performance rather than helping it. Once known for their speed and ability to avoid damage, Hunters are now largely considered a weak choice, and players are frustrated with the class’s current state. Iconoci put it bluntly: “It’s disheartening to see a class so underpowered that most teams exclude it altogether.” This sentiment is widely shared by the community, who are hoping for changes to improve the Hunter’s viability.
