One pistol or sniper shot to the back kills them. It takes several melee attacks to the vunerable areas to take them down.

You can melee a hunter to death in the back. I was playing thru co-op with a n0ob friend on normal on SC. To make it fun for me I was playing with a lot of melee madness. I could take out a normal hunter with one good hit to the back after they took a hearty swipe at me (I’m pretty sure it was just one).

Now on legendary, the only real effort I put in was at AOTCR, but I did it! If you fight across the natural bridge instead of taking a banshee or sliding down the cliff side and then fight thru the elevator and all that then here’s what you do. When you come outside and elite is walking away from you, melee him. Ignore cortana’s advice about stealing a ghost and walk up to the base of the pyramid. Some grunts are lying around sleeping, but those hunters up on the first level of the pyramid – they are sleeping too!

I went up there and got one free whack in its back, then had to fight for one or two more, but the sucker went down. So it is possible!

(i should include that i took out the wraith from the bridge. if it was still active down there, maybe those hunters would have been awake.)

To rephrase the ORIGINAL question, "Can Hunters be killed with ONE hit in the back." The answer is no. No way.
One accurate shot to the back? Yes.
I haven't even killed a Hunter with one grenade before. Maybe on Easy it can be done, but I don't really play that difficulty.

my first time ever playing the xbox was with my freind on halo 2 we went on this level and 2 hunters were dropped from a phantom my friend said leave it to me as i had no bullets he walked up to it and it whacked him a mile and trust me they did not die in 1 melee hit or i would not have a good reason to dislike hunters
p.s i did kill thm without my freind though

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

you can kill hunters with 1 hit to the back. getting behind them for a lean hit is the hard part
