Unlike the Gun Hunters though, the Laser Hunters' rifle is shorter and thicker with a sharp point for a rifle barrel.

Laser Hunters is armed with a laser shooter that serves at it's right arm that enables it to shot a long yellow laser that can deal dramatic damages to the player that reaches to decrease the [[Health Gauge]] of both [[Dr. Eggman]] and [[Miles Tails Prower|Tails]] with 20% in each hit. Unlike their predecessor the [[Gun Hunter]], their shots cannot be destroyed by the [[Lock-On Missile]]s, but can also get through Steel and unbreakable containers.
 
   
They are more commonly seen falling from the sky, and also turn on when an enemy is in range (if they already in the place). Once they encounter the enemy, they will charge their rifles and then launch the laser at the opponent. When they charge they cannot move their rifles to locate the position the player has moved to if he ran, unless they shot the charged laser. If the player leaves the arena, they will return to sleep mode again. Like the [[Gun Hunter]], they can also react with the player's movements before charging, but cannot move only in rare cases.
