** Supports are this by definition. What they inherently lack in raw damage, they make up for with indirect abilities that improve the rest of the hunter's chances. Kala is this above all, with little in the way of decent damage, but her teleporters can provide incredible mobility if used for short range jumps mid battle, and her armor disintegrater allows allies to completely bypass any and all existing armor the monster has to damage their health directly.

* TheReveal: The story of the game began as a simple thing, telling the tale of a group of hunters brought in to protect colonists from some nasty wildlife. Over the two years of active addition, this was revealed to be just the tip of the iceberg. Due to the nature of the game there were actually several reveals spread out across the game's lifespan.
** Maggie reveals that Shear isn't the only planet the monsters have attacked, turning a rather dangerous wildlife problem into a potential galaxy-wide scourge.
** After analyzing the monsters, Caira determines that they were most likely engineered and that the engineers were probably not human, that the monster "eggs" don't contain embryotic monsters before they hatch and give off a signal usually seen in FTL devices, and that the monsters will occasionally ignore humans but ''always'' destroy Patterson tech.
** Kala joins the team and reveals the product of two years worth of research on the monsters and being hooked into their HiveMind: [[spoiler: The monsters are [[RealityWarper capable of using the equations for advanced human tech]] through biological means and the monsters may not be native to this dimension. They also seem to want to annihilate the human universe for being an aberration.]]
** The final reveal, given out by [[WordOfGod a TRS developer]] before 2K took the IP. [[spoiler: The monster originate from a parallel dimension closely aligned with the human one. The Patterson tech, while a useful source of energy here, has the effect of a constantly exploding atomic bomb in their dimension. The monsters were sent into our dimension with the intent to nucleate it into an absolute vacuum, erasing all Patterson tech, the humans who created it, and the entire universe.]]
