Behaviour
It roams while humming, which is the warning that it is nearby, and its hearing range is roughly five times that of a normal monster. Anything audible within range gets shot — valuables, semibots, even other monsters — and a single shot deals 100 damage and a stun. Touch it, grab it, or brush it with an item you are holding and it fires immediately. It cannot reach you under furniture or in high places, but it will still fire at any noise coming from there. Crucially, voice and text chat count as noise: talking near a Huntsman can get you shot.
How to survive it
Silence, and stairs. It falls when walking down most staircases, stunning itself and taking physics damage, which is often the cheapest way to deal with one. Otherwise, stop moving, stop talking, and let it pass. When it investigates a sound it stands still for a few seconds to listen before resuming its patrol, and that pause is your window to reposition.
REPODLE hints
Sound and Touch, with no line of sight and no proximity, is a detection profile shared with nothing else. It is the only monster whose Line of Sight column comes back red, which makes it one of the fastest solves in the game if you happen to guess anything with Sound detection. The Reaper also lists Sound but carries all four detection types alongside it.
