Bucket
This charming little mechanical robot is definitely one of my favorite characters in Evolve. Not only is he full of wit, Bucket also comes equipped with a powerful arsenal as well. Unlike Hank, Bucket is a much more offensive Support hunter.
In place of the Laser Cutter that Hank carries around, Bucket is equipped with a guided missile launcher that makes for an extremely effective long ranged weapon. The great thing about the missile launcher is that you don’t have to aim with pinpoint accuracy; simply fire off a missile and guide your laser reticle to the monster. The missile will follow your reticle, explode, and deal splash damage to the surrounding area as well. Reloading the weapon can be a pain, so try to make every shot count.
Bucket also comes with some really handy Sentry Guns that will help a ton in taking down the monsters. Sentry Guns are essentially turrets that will fire at any enemies in its vicinity. Once your Trapper has released the mobile arena and trapped the monster, try to surround the monster with your Sentry Guns so that it’ll receive damage wherever it tries to run off to. Couple the Sentry Guns with the heavy firepower of the Assault, and fighting the monster should become much easier for your party.
The Sentry Guns can also come in handy when you’re trying to revive a fallen hunter. By placing the turrets near your comrade’s body, you’ll be able to fend off the monster for a short period of time as you nurse the hunter back to full health. Be warned though; you can only place five Sentry Guns at any given point of time, so be aware of where you’re positioning them.
Lastly, Bucket also has a UAV that can scout out the monster’s position without alerting it. When you sense that Daisy is getting close to sniffing out the beast, stop for a while and let the UAV do the rest of the work. Once you’ve pinpointed the monster’s location, it’ll be revealed to everyone else in your party and you can catch it by surprise. One thing to note about using the UAV is that it’ll leave Bucket’s body vulnerable, so you might not want to use it when there are other wildlife nearby.
