Do you know why? It's not because of golden gun or because of arc blade, no not at all. It's simply because the hunter class is the best set up for close quarters combat thanks to their agility. Now combine that with quick reflexes, high sensitivity, good aim & good strafing and you have a problem.
Any hunter that utilizes these will dominate pvp, it's that simple. I for one barely use my super, not even half of my kills are with my super.
Side note: arc blade isn't op plenty of things can easily stop it such as heavy ammo, well placed headshots, your super, suppressor grenades & even dodging. As for golden gun its nothing wrong with it you can easily kill someone with normal means real quick, don't know how many times ive killed one during activation & if all fails just run.

Agility helps. But they have the two supers that are best suited for PvP...and exotic helmets that make supers SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful. Golden Gun gives the HUNTER up to three OHKs per activation...and doesn't require enemies to cluster for multiples kills like Nova Bomb or Fist of Havoc. Achyllophage Symbiote ups that to FOUR OHKs. Bladedancers can take out entire FIRETEAMS with their supers, and it is very difficult to counter if the Hunter specs it so that each kill heals him. Add Mask of The Third Man...and the Bladedance killing streak goes on even longer. Finally Gunslinger Hunters are the only class that have character class abilities that speed weapon reloading and increase weapon stability.
