Kraven the Hunter — Hunter Base clearing strategy

All 14 Hunter Bases mapped to difficulty, plus the order to clear them that unlocks the most XP and gadget mods.

Kraven the Hunter — Hunter Base clearing strategy

There are 14 Hunter Bases across the city, each themed around a specific Kraven trophy hunt. Clearing one unlocks the next region of bases, but the order matters because the rewards stack.

Clear order — fastest XP path

  1. Bayonet Outpost (Queens) — first base. Pure stealth tutorial; complete with zero detections for the trophy.
  2. Mantis Stealth Camp (Brooklyn) — introduces archers. Use Web Line + corner takedown loop.
  3. Hyena Trapper Outpost (Harlem) — drone-heavy. Take out the drone control tower first.
  4. Komodo Lair (Manhattan FiDi) — sniper-heavy. Carry Concussive Strike.
  5. Crocodile Pit (Coney Island) — the brute base. Symbiote/Venom Strike preferred.
  6. Tarantula Tower (Times Square) — vertical. Web Wing the ledges; takedowns chain.
  7. Through 14 in any order — they all reuse the same enemy mix.

Gadget mods (the why)

Each 5 bases cleared unlocks a gadget mod slot. Slot order in priority:

  • Web Grabber → +radius (slot 1)
  • Concussive Strike → +knockback (slot 2)
  • Web Line → +duration (slot 3)

Stealth perfect

For the Whole Hunter trophy, you must clear all 14 bases without being detected. The cheese: Mantis Vision (perk in the shared tree) shows enemy cone-of-vision through walls — equip it before any stealth base.

If stuck: if a base keeps spotting you, you're triggering a generator tripwire — Mantis Vision shows them as blue lines on the floor. Disable with hold square.
