The Huntsman Path – Controller Quest Details
Quest Dialogue
Come on in. As a hunter, I can tell you for sure that holding control over the target is really important. Sometimes if you manage to blind the animal, even the most dangerous one, it stops being dangerous to you. This works with humans as well. Who cares how pimped out their guns are if they’re as blind as moles? I want you to show me if you’re able to properly blind your enemy.

Guide
The quest is best done by using a KS-23 shotgun with the “Zvezda” flashbang round, as it allows you to flash your opponent more effectively. But after patch 0.12.12, you cannot buy the Zvezda shells on the FLEA market. Worry not, you can still craft them at the Workbench Level 3. This is not the only way to do this quest, even though it’s considered the most effective.
You can still do it the old-fashioned way by using a Zarya or the new Model 7290 Flash Bang grenade. If you choose this option, then I’d guess you go with the slightly enhanced Model 7290 Flash Bang, because it pops half a second faster than the Zarya Stun grenade.
Keep in mind, you need to blind and eliminate your opponents while they are under the effect, not the other way around. So, make sure you don’t blind yourself.
