No More Room in Hell 2 Hunter 85: Stats, Ammo, and How to Use It
Learn everything about the Hunter 85 bolt-action rifle in No More Room in Hell 2, including stats, ammo type, and how it compares to other long guns.
Overview
The Hunter 85 is a long-range bolt-action rifle in No More Room in Hell 2. It chambers the .308 Win cartridge, a high-power hunting round that delivers strong damage per shot. The Hunter 85 kills normal zombies with one headshot and red zombies with two, making it a reliable precision weapon for players who can land shots at range.
As the only bolt-action rifle currently in the .308 Win category, the Hunter 85 fills a specific niche: high damage per shot with a slower rate of fire. It is best suited for players who prefer careful, aimed shots over sustained fire.

How to Obtain
The Hunter 85 is a world-spawn weapon found during gameplay in No More Room in Hell 2. It is not a starting weapon; players must locate it while exploring maps. Like other firearms in the game, it spawns in fixed or semi-random locations depending on the map and mission.
The weapon requires .308 Win ammunition to fire. Because ammunition is a limited resource, players should reserve the Hunter 85 for situations where its range and damage matter most.
Uses and Combat Role
The Hunter 85 is a precision long-range weapon. Its primary uses include:
- Eliminating normal zombies with a single headshot at distance, conserving ammunition compared to less accurate firearms.
- Engaging red zombies with two headshots, though this requires follow-up shots and good positioning.
- Supporting teammates by taking out threats before they reach melee range.
Because firearms attract unwanted attention in No More Room in Hell 2, the Hunter 85 is best used sparingly. Players typically rely on melee weapons unless ammunition is abundant. When you do fire the Hunter 85, make every shot count.
Comparison to the M14 Battle Rifle
The Hunter 85 has a direct upgrade path in the M14 Battle Rifle, which also chambers .308 Win ammunition. The M14 deals the same damage per shot but fires semi-automatically and holds a 20+1 round magazine instead of 6 rounds.
| Weapon | Fire Mode | Magazine Size | Normal Zombie Headshot | Red Zombie Headshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hunter 85 | Bolt-action | 6 rounds | 1 shot | 2 shots |
| M14 Battle Rifle | Semi-automatic | 20+1 rounds | 1 shot | 2 shots |
If you find an M14, it is a direct upgrade over the Hunter 85 in nearly every situation. The Hunter 85 remains useful only if you prefer bolt-action handling or have not yet found an M14.
Attachments and Compatibility
The Hunter 85 does not currently accept optics or rail attachments based on available data. The weapon attachments currently in the game—such as the Holographic Sight, ACOG, and Long Gun Scope—fit on other rifles including the MP5, Rochester 1873, M7A1, MC-15, and 590A1. The Hunter 85 is not listed among compatible weapons for these optics.
Version Context
The Hunter 85 has been present in the game since its early access release. The Reanimation update (April 15, 2025) added several weapons and attachments to No More Room in Hell 2, but the Hunter 85 was not among the new additions in that patch. Its stats and behavior remain consistent with the base game.
