The '''Hunter''' is a military attack helicopter in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. It is based on the US [[wp:AH-64 Apache|AH-64 Apache]].

The Hunter is a very deadly aircraft, having a self-targeting machine gun and the ability to shoot two unguided rockets at once. Like the other armed military vehicles, the [[Rhino]] and [[Hydra]], it has infinite ammunition. The helicopter can be used as a [[vigilante]] vehicle, with its own set of side missions known as "[[Brown Thunder]]". In terms of damage to the helicopter, it is not bomb-proof/explosion-proof like the [[Rhino]], but can survive for a long time while being shot at.

In GTA: Vice City, the Hunter is an aesthetically correct AH-64A 'Apache'. In GTA: San Andreas and Vice City Stories, however, the gunner's cockpit is removed, and a different tail rotor is used.

The Hunter's most notable use is in GTA: Vice City Stories, when [[Victor Vance]] breaks into his old barracks at the [[Fort Baxter Air Base]] to steal a Hunter in order to perform an air attack against his enemies, the [[Mendez Cartel]] and specifically [[Diego and Armando Mendez|Diego Mendez]]. He later flies the Hunter towards the Mendez Building and attacks the top floor of the building with missiles and machine gun ammunition only to get shot down but managing to bail out on the roof.
