Hunter

The Hunter is an upcoming town NPC that will collect rare items, or Artifacts from players, and exchange them for gold (or platinum). He will attack by throwing Gold Coins at enemies. He will move in as soon as a house is available.

Artifacts can usually be found inside chests, from enemies, or breaking blocks. Each artifact has it's own level. Level 1 consists of starter, or early Pre-Hardmode items. Level 2 consists of late Pre-Hardmode items, or early Hardmode items. Level 3 consists of mid-Hardmode items, or items that are usually uncommon (such as Viking Helmets). Level 4 consists of rare items. Level 5 consists of very rare items. Endangered artifacts consists of items that are extremely rare, and hard to find, such as the Nymph banner.

To know if the player has an Artifact, the button for artifacts will change from "Artifacts" to "Examine (Level) Artifact: (Artifact Name)". There is a button called "About Artifacts". When it is clicked, the Hunter will tell the player about Artifacts.

Quotes
At daytime:


 * "Good morning! I'm just prepping my gear. Anything you need, perhaps?."
 * "Ah. The new Mann Co. Razorback. *bzzt* OW! That- oh. Didn't see you there" (Reference to the Sniper's item in Team Fortress 2, the Razorback. Mann Co. is a reference to the company of the same name in the game.)
 * "Got the snipers prepared. Need anything?"
 * "Well, I'll be out, after I learn what the 'Space' button is.?"

At night:


 * "What a day. Need something, my friend?."
 * "Good evening! Anything you need?"
 * "Hello there. I'm just putting this away."

When clicking "Artifacts" without an artifact in your inventory:


 * "I don't see an artifact in your hands."

When clicking "About Artifacts":


 * "I didn't get this job just to hunt, I find. I look in certain areas of Terraria for artifacts. Basically, in other words, if you find something rare, you can sell it to me for some exchange."

Trivia

 * The name "Mundy" is a reference to the Sniper from Team Fortress 2. His real name is Mr. Mundy.
 * The name "Bear" is a reference to professional survivor, Bear Grylls.
 * In the game files, the Hunter is called "Sniper", which was going to be his original name.
 * To prevent the player from cheesing by gathering two Snowball Launchers in Split Mod's Stranded Ship, the Hunter will sell the snowball launcher for 5 gold each.
