The "Hunter II" (also known as "Enhanced" or "Revised") was an independent Hunter program initiated by The Organization, an opposing organization of the Umbrella Corporation. 1 2 3 4
History
As a B.O.W. with high completeness, the "Hunter" series gained much attention from the rival company of Umbrella. They later managed to obtain embryos and the research data on the original Hunter from Albert Wesker following the Mansion Incident, and eventually developed a next generation Hunter series; the "Hunter II". They were essentially copies of the α model, but with several improvements. This model was deployed in combat by Wesker when attacking Rockfort Island on December 27, 1998. 5
Additionally, a poisonous subspecies was also developed known as the "Sweeper". The existence of the Hunter II later made Umbrella decide to drop further development of the Hunter series, leading to the development of the "Anubis" B.O.W.
Attributes
The Hunter II was a deadlier weapon than the original Hunter, and was controlled by a self-propelled monitor peripheral device which detected moving objects. The Hunter was designed to intercept and eliminate these objects. Physically the Hunter II was just an average Hunter, however it had higher combat abilities. They were also implanted with sensors which allowed The Organization to control their movements and actions like robots.
