Hunter Protection is a defense gear perk that reduces damage from animals. It helps when crocodiles, jaguars and other predators attack you while you explore or hunt.
Bites and claws from wild animals do less damage. Hunting and swamp travel become safer.
Useful early and on hunting trips. Soldiers deal most of your damage later, so swap it for a combat defense perk then.
Croc Carver and Hunter's Mark fit a hunting loadout.
