There is an error that Hamish Sinclair pointed out at 01:30. Jason's quote is from the missing marathon pages and is not from the 'Tricks of the Mac Game Programming Gurus'. I knew about this but missed this during video editing. Thanks for watching!
I haven't tried this approach myself on TC, but maybe you can just stand on the exit platform with the two Hunters and shoot them point-blank with the AR until they both die. In the process you will definitely take damage, necessitating a return to a shield recharger, but it will get the job done in two climbs instead of having to climb up over and over.
