The Hunter is a military attack helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Description
The Hunter is clearly based on the AH-64 Apache. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Hunter is an aesthetically correct AH-64A "Apache". In GTA San Andreas, however, the gunner's cockpit is removed, and an eight-blade tail rotor is used (instead of four).
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 Hunter is neither bulletproof nor explosion-proof like the Rhino, but is highly damage-resistant. The Hunter can also be used for the Vigilante side mission, which GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas dub "Brown Thunder".
The Hunter doesn't appear in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, however, leftover Hunter files from the GTA Vice City code remained in the game, and, with the help of third party trainers, a Hunter can be spawned. The Hunter in GTA Liberty City Stories is similar in design to the GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions, however it cannot be used for vigilante missions.
In GTA Vice City and San Andreas, the player is able to play the game's radio stations while flying the Hunter, however this ability was removed in GTA Vice City Stories.

Notable appearances in missions
The Hunter's most notable use is in the GTA: Vice City Stories missions Over The Top and Last Stand, when Victor Vance steals a Hunter in order to attack the Mendez Cartel.
Locations

- Fort Baxter - Inside the base after completing either Keep Your Friends Close or collecting all 100 hidden packages.
- Ocean Beach - At the helipad next to Lance Vance's house after completing both the hidden packages and Keep Your Friends Close.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Easter Basin, San Fierro - On a helipad inside the Easter Basin Naval Station after completing Flight School with all golds. The player instantly gains a 5 star wanted level upon entering the base.
- Verdant Meadows, Bone County - At the airstrip after getting gold on all flying school tests.
Note: When both the Hunter and Leviathan are unlocked at Verdant Meadows, only one of them can spawn at a time. Arrive from the west to spawn the Hunter and arrive from the east to spawn the Leviathan.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Escobar International Airport - At the southern part of the airport after completing Last Stand. Starts the "Skywolf" side-mission automatically upon entrance.
Trivia
- Although the Hunter is painted green, game files in GTA San Andreas contain code for a red paintjob. If the player smashes the Hunter against a building, red paint chips will fly off of it; also, police radio chatter describes the player as flying a red helicopter if he or she is flying a Hunter while wanted by the police.
- In Vice City, the default radio station for the Hunter is V-Rock.
