I'm inclined to believe that bounty hunt will always reign supreme and that anyone who wants a new gamemode doesn't realize that the non-bounty hunt mods barely seem to have a population during peak hours

[crystal plume]

@buoyant sigil One post in one channel is enough

[whole fable]

Hey, I had an error during logging in Hunt there is error issues Ox30001 Error on my PS5 , I restarted all of the devices. But nothing changes

#customer-support

[buoyant sigil]

Ok I wasn't sure which one to put it in because one allows for reactions and one doesn't

[storm arch]

so kind lol

[severe shell]

so how come removing a trait from my character removes a random trait instead?

so pissed about this, when i removed iron eye it got rid of shadow, even when the game warned me that i was about to remove iron eye

tried the same thing with magpie just now and it removed quarter master instead, its replicatable at this point

now im afraid to remove any traits at all or i might loose another one of my scarce traits - this is bullshit

[proper moss]

its a bug being fixed in the next update

[grave wraith]

In the meantime, the workaround is to remove them from the big menu on the right instead of the little one on the left

[merry shard]

WHERE TO REPORT AN ABVIOUS HACKER?

[latent geyser]

!report

[marsh garden]

If you would like to report a player, you can do so on the Team Details tab in your Last Mission section on the home page. Select the player -> Open Profile -> Report. It is also accessible in the Last Match tab at any time. If you have additional proof you would like to provide, you can find out how to reach out to official support here: #customer-support

**Please note that you can still report people even if you don't have their SteamID or cannot open their profile by providing your own SteamID, time of the incident with a time zone and region on the Hunt Showdown website (link is in the in the Customer Support channel). **

**Hiding statistics/profiles does not prevent reporting. **

[latent geyser]

@merry shard

[merry shard]

thank you

[old rampart]

Hi all, just a little question. How can a player have so much money with those stats?

[hot vigil]

Well, if you don't engage with PvP and farm PvE for money it is possible

[old rampart]

Ok. Thankyou.

[hot vigil]

And there are certain servers that are basically single player when you play on them at certain times

[sacred musk]

You can even get prestige 100 without ever killing anyone.

[fair thorn]

217meters away, trough the wall with iron sight....well done crytek well done

[grave wraith]

How's that Crytek's doing

[unborn sandal]

I’m guessing the insinuation is that the player is cheating

And crytek needs to ban them

Tbf I’ve seen a ridiculous number of cheaters lately

I’ve seen more in the past three weeks than in the previous three years

[grave wraith]

yeah but even if they are cheating, can you really throw shade at crytek for them killing you one time before getting banned? of course they slip through for at least a bit

people have such unrealistic expectations when it comes to anticheat

[grave wraith]

lol, the frag arrow chain

[stiff berry]

We need more maps and more bosses

Stop adding skins over skins

[wet swan]

more bosses that arent roaming**

and more weapons

[crystal plume]

More weapons and maps*

Bosses barely add gameplay value

Maybe new AI that you can at least see every match and more than once

But bosses that you will eventually learn to kill near instantly? Not worth the resources in developing them imo

[hot vigil]

But what if

We got a werewolf!

No one have every thought of that!

[steel axle]

We could get a witch boss that throws rotjaw slow goop around that'd be nice

but in compound and not roaming

go full fuck you mode and make her spawn on ashbloom maps

[wet swan]

but they are a integral part of every single raid played

no?

[crystal plume]

Are they? They exist, but is their existence integral to the gameplay loop and does the type of boss really matter that much in the end? (Apart from scrapbeak because of it removing all lootables in the compound, which it shouldn't do anyways and only remove part of them imo)

They are cool the first few times, then you either start bringing sticky bombs and/or spamming them with melee/penny derringer and kill them in like 30 seconds

[vivid flame]

I agree with that

With so many anti boss tools their existence is just a catalyst to get players to fight

Unless the boss adds a new mechanic, like rotjaw did when it came out, new bosses won’t add anything to the core gameplay loop

[dreamy shadow]

Oh yeah type of boss for sure matters. Assassin takes like 10x longer and I always die to bapscreak

New base ai would be fire tho I hope small spider sections still stick around similar to bears

[hot vigil]

Bapscreak

I am saving that one

[dreamy shadow]

Good ol baps

Figured no one would know who baps was tho

[crystal plume]

How? You can stunlock assassin with melee easier than any of the other bosses

[unborn sandal]

If you don’t have a dedicated melee assassin easily takes the longest

[grave wraith]

I can see value in adding a new boss as an actual roaming boss that actually roams or has a unique mechanic to finding it outside of actually fighting the boss

[crystal plume]

Not my experience at all

@left trout Your post was removed as the screenshot contained an ad, you can repost it without the image or with the image after cropping it properly to not contain ads

[dreamy shadow]

I mean I use bomb lance like a solid 80% of the time but sometimes assassin just sits on the wall out of reach

[crystal plume]

As soon as they start their clone phase you can just spam melee on them standing still

Without them moving away or the clones being able to spawn and hit you

[dreamy shadow]

Still the longest boss. 10 second kill is still 10x longer than a 1 second kill no?

[unborn sandal]

Assassin has some weird targeting gimmicks that none of the other bosses do. Sometimes he’ll decide to just crawl around the lair in bug form for 15 seconds for seemingly no reason

[dreamy shadow]

Note that 10x longer kill isn’t a complaint just a notice that bosses are different enough in terms of gameplay

[left trout]

Okay 👍

[past granite]

umplayable

[shrewd hedge]

Just move ur mouse

[fair thorn]

BECAUSE THEY USE A LAZY A++ ANTI CHEAT!

[proper moss]

Would you rather they use VAC

[grave wraith]

You're allowed to say ass

Unless you're not irl in that case nvm

[left trout]

I’m his father he is not allowed to say ass

I’m watching his every move

[grave wraith]

Don't think they understand how anti cheat works

Unless they want a super invasive "anticheat"/virus that scans your downloads and falsely blocks half of them etc

[proper moss]

It's also a literal arms race of constantly trying to one up the cheaters with anti cheat updates

Like a chess game

That never ends

Unless you're Bungie and sue a cheat maker and win

[grave wraith]

Precisely. It's not realistic to never have incidents nor is it fair to blame crytek for one cheater slipping through and killing you once before ban

[proper moss]

Yeah, I mean at least Crytek is attempting to do something unlike gestures at valve

[dense forge]

Title: Can't play on any region

Description: When ever I try to press ready and look for a match is says "region is unavailable" for every single one but although I can play on any of them if I had one player in my team but I can't play solo and I changed Internet provider and its the same problem, am in the middle East btw. Its been like that for 6 months now.

Any tips?

[main sapphire]

[main sapphire]

Fuck me for having alife and not being glued to this shit.

I have the news feed setup so it goes to a channel in my discord. Of course they dont post important information like this in that.

Shit move by Crytek.

[unborn sandal]

What news feed

If you aren’t porting gen announcements into your discord that’s on you, not crytek

[main sapphire]

I am porting gen announcements.

they're didn't announce shit.

they announced it yesterday

like I said.

So that gives me and everyone there 24 hours to see it.

We all have jobs, families and lives. And got fucked over by this garbage posting etiquette.

That's where the posts go, not one here, then one here, and maybe one there. For a bunch of Germans who follow daily regiment they sure dont keep to structure well.

Half the codes are posted one place, then another somewhere else.

[unborn sandal]

I just posted it where they announced it a week ago

#general-announcements message

Here it is again

[main sapphire]

And it didn't go to my server.

So beats mne.

[main sapphire]

Where's the codes? There's no codes posted.

[unborn sandal]

idk code your bot better that ain’t crytek’s fault man. They announced at the start of the buleweavers event almost a month ago to watch their website for the codes

[unborn sandal]

Actually read the content of the announcement

[main sapphire]

Ahh okay, read the content, when half the time the codes are posted then the other half not posted.

Gotcha.

Set a fucking predcedent and stick to it. You either post the damn codes every post you make or you never do.

And people get them from the website.

Poor management.

Never missed skins until this garbage.

Since the start of this game.

i'm not the only one who missed it, so It's not a me problem.

There are many many people who missed it.

Many people I play with ,and many on this discord. So this was a information distribution issue.

Again, poor community ettiquette. Everyone should be getting the skins, why is there even a stupid expiry on them.

[unborn sandal]

dude if you can’t read the content of the announcement that’s honestly on you. As they said in this

#feedback-discussion message

announcement they told you at the start of the bileweavers killing almost a month and a half ago to check their website for the bileweaver codes

[main sapphire]

Arc Raiders can have my money instead.

i'm more than happy to funnel it there.

[unborn sandal]

Okay. Then play that. Why come to complain on the hunt discord. If you like a different game that’s fine but I don’t go complaining on the valorant discord that I think the game is garbage

[main sapphire]

You can repeat this all you want. If they post the codes consitently the previous times, and then not the last, then that's complete bullshit.

The expectation is, they always post them.

Not twice, then go look at the website.

[unborn sandal]

They posted an announcement when the codes first were available and an announcement when they were about to expire. I really don’t know what more you want from them. I have my gripes with crytek but they gave you plenty of time and warning in this instance

[main sapphire]

Why do they expire?

[unborn sandal]

If they didn’t expire they would have codes running from 4 years back that no one would know existed. They’re relevant to the community event we just completed which was also posted in the announcements

[main sapphire]

Well, I appreciate your insight, but dont agree with the way this was handled either way. I literally haven't had time to even log on since Nov 24th due to work.

[unborn sandal]

If you’re working that’s a totally valid excuse and I sympathize with that but it’s hard to extend things when they have people on the opposite side of the spectrum playing the game 4 hours a day that will get pissed if they don’t have some new announcement twice a week

[past socket]

Hello angry man @main sapphire, the plowshares vs pitchforks challenge has come to an end, pitchforks won, keep your head up for the reward that will be shared soon for a skin for Berthier Marksman - Patron’s Payer

[carmine needle]

Our CMs have been busy, codes are coming. We'll have an announcement, keep an eye on #🧑‍🌾plowshares-and-pitchforks🧑‍🌾 as well as we've been posting codes to the respective channels.

[crystal plume]

@worn cloud You have to translate your post yourself and post it in english or it will be removed

[worn cloud]

But the post cannot contain that many characters.👀

[crystal plume]

Then slim it down

[proper moss]

Copy and paste it into deepl and then repost it as the translated version

Deepl allows enough characters

[worn cloud]

ok

[worn cloud]

All right

[worn cloud]

Nice

[proper moss]

I approve of a bat/vampire themed boss/hunter. I feel like it would definitely fit into the game, even if it's not a true vampire.

[carmine needle]

Everyone forgetting silver spur smhsmh

[grave wraith]

@mild abyss cool idea but it sounds kinda useless? melee weapons one shot players to all body parts now anyways and AI doesn't bleed

[mild abyss]

Yea true

[grave wraith]

so youd kinda just be sacrificing the range of a non-fist melee for.. what?

[mild abyss]

It’s one of those things that sounds cool, but probably would just end up being a meme

[grave wraith]

sadly. cause it's a cool idea for sure.

Gave me the thought, maybe we could get a bear trap launcher as a medium slot. direct hit does heavy damage and bleed, but if it misses it sets a beartrap where it landed

And the melee of that medium slot could be as you describe, so it could be a hybrid weapon like the lance. Light melee for no beartrap, heavy melee uses the beartrap but it must be reset afterwards

[mild abyss]

Well not probably, would be… I’d like for it to make sense and actually be useful but I’m not sure you could really do anything to make it “good” the more I think about it

[mild abyss]

Imagine

A bear trap gets launched at you

Lmao

theres gotta be something we can do about people camping bodies. I just got camped for LITERALLY 20 minutes.

Literally just go next

If you are willing to wait 20min, you need to accept that people also gonna be willing to wait 20min

Remove self revive for solos and I assure you people won't camp bodies.

Can't do much about team reviving though

#game-ideas message
curb your ai slop

[carmine needle]

it's fine

it's just showing an example

I agree with the sentiment of needing more positions for hunters

looks goofy with all 3 of us bobbing at the same time

[unborn sandal]

Looks goofy with the guns morphing in their hands

I despise ai generated crap

[tall arrow]

Since Crytek is showing off more UI updates again, here's a complete list of everything that's annoyed me over the last 10+ months... 1) Traits in game menu need to be sortable. Allow for sorting by cost from left to right and right to left. Scarce traits should be a separate line item.
2) When dead and spectating, allow us to more easily select which team to spectate. Could have a "team 1, Team 2, Team 3" in bottom left corner. When hovering the team, you could select which person to spectate with a left click.
3) For loadouts that utilize quartermaster, there should be a "buy quartmaster" button next to the gun in the loadout that requires it. This would prevent needing to go into traits and then back into loadouts.
4) We should be able to "ready up" from any menu via keyboard shortcuts.
5) The sorting options for guns are terrible. Where is dum dum? where is fmj? where is high velo? Where can I sort by attachment like talon or brawler?
6) The "charms" equip button can be added either to the left of your gun or to the right of the ammo selection.
7) There's no in depth stats menu. Let us see more information.
8) The sorting options for many consumables make no sense in today's Hunt. "Vision" "light" "rending" "placable" "noise" etc. I think there has to be better descriptions for these items.
9) Can only recruit 1 hunter at a time
10) The "loadouts" menu should have a "use most recent equipment" default button.
11) After selecting "edit hunter" the entire top menu bar disappears. Fix this. The top menu bar in the edit hunter section should include loadouts, equipment without loadouts, traits, and the "play/lobby" button.
12) The entire after game menu is terrible right now. I do understand this is being worked on right now and I can withhold judgement until we see the finished product.
-- Okay wtf its been 9+ months since this was showed off.

13. Let us to make more edits and changes while in queue.
14. The "Team details" and "last mission" screens all disappear if you change to a different queue type.
15. give us a "show most recent missions" area where we can check out basic stats. Time in game, total kills, total damage, etc. This is certainly a nice to have and not a requirement to be added.
16. The "Progression" tab needs to be more predominate. checking progress of unlocks is what keeps players coming back. I would add this to the top menu bar. Also make the progress that people care about show first. Bloodine/Prestige, player stats, gun unlocks (This is somewhat fixed)
17. In the Play/Lobby area with teammates, show your loadout on the right-hand side. There could even be a toggle (selectable with a click, not a sub menu) that switches between the Challenges + Dark Tribute that we have now.
18. Fix the "don't show contraband" button. It constantly changes with every click and is useless. I do not care about contraband at all and don't want myUI to be more cluttered than it needs to be.
19. After hitting "inspect equipment" from the lobby area, you cannot remove the equipment from your screen with a click elsewhere. Fix this.
20. You cannot go to the shooting range without remaking your team/lobby. Fix this. (This might be fixed already)
21. There's no click and drag to reorder your tools and consumables.
22. There's no option to never show the "its okay to throw out my contraband" button for consumables.
23. When the rewards has more than 3 at a time, you cannot see all rewards at once. On top of that, to navigate you must use arrow keys instead of clicking the diamonds at the bottom that show there's more than 3 rewards. Show wayyy more rewards on a single screen!
24. Looting hunters needs a different default button so loot gun and loot hunter shows at the same time.
25. The number of skill points you have remaining is not obvious enough when purchasing traits in the trait menu.

There's my contribution to society. Now back to Arc raiders.

[carmine needle]

Hi. I'd recommend posting this to #feedback , they don't tend to read this section

Posting it there devs will read it

:)

[tall arrow]

ill put my reddit post in there so it's a bit cleaner. Thanks

[grave wraith]

For 5), you just need to search those keywords in the weapon search bar and it will sort by those. You can do the same with searching traits to see what works with the trait.

But it would be nice if they were toggleable buttons.

[proper moss]

ive also noticed the search bar can be buggy sometimes and get deselected when typing

so yeah shortcuts would be nice

[unborn dagger]

@unborn sandal I have an idea for Magician which is to imitate someone walking around and breathing(You know like when they're aiming) but keep the sound effect it has to let you know it is a fake when you get closer to it.

I think it should certainly have a timer instead of being something that lasts an unlimited amount of time.

[unborn sandal]

That could probably work. Or maybe the necro sound. I just want it to have literally any use if you aren’t fighting a bounty that has scan

@ashen silo What do you mean by orders? The weekly challenges?

[wet swan]

@flat fog "who complained anyway"

[flat fog]

i just want my fun thing back

im mad at small crown but i just dont voice it, i just deal with it

[wet swan]

thats tuff ur tuff

so tuff

[flat fog]

We also like our laser blasters in our cowboy game like bornheim and cyclone

[wet swan]

brother you want an explosive crossbow wdym

those guns genuenly got used at that time period

[flat fog]

dude honestly i want you to shut the hell up more

[wet swan]

lmao

like you said "deal with it"

[scenic geyser]

how is an exploding frag arrow more fitting with the theme than a real gun that was literally used back then?

[flat fog]

we had mistakes like revive bolt too

but explosive xbow and frags werent that op

[scenic geyser]

and it got removed...

[wet swan]

right jit

[flat fog]

some ppl just whine a lot about them thats all

complain and u shall receive

modern age's golden thing to do

[scenic geyser]

maybe just maybe theres a reason people complain?

maybe that they were op?

[wet swan]

"hmm people complain about smth it cant be because its unfun and unbalanced"

[flat fog]

small crown > frag arrows

you guys need to get yourselves together and accept this

[flat fog]

they were not, and thats why i want them back

they were just ultra annoying cuz of heavy bleed

screw that

but xplo arrows, man they were ok

[wet swan]

yeeah who wwants annoying guns

[steel axle]

Explosive crossbow was singlehandedly the best anti camper weapon and now it's gone because shotty rats cried too hard

Frag arrows causing bleed was understandably annoying especially since one bow could carry 22 shots but 8 explosive crossbow rounds was perfectly balanced tbh

[wet swan]

maybe thats a problem with shotguns not a explosive no skill silent ammo weapon idk tho

[dreamy shadow]

Idk if they were op (they really weren’t) but they were the most annoying thing to play against it was not fun

[wet swan]

yeeah a part of them being annoying was the fact that they required no skill to use, dying to the random spray of explosive arrows didn't really make you say "oh nice shot"

[flat fog]

"no skill" was the highest skill curve in the game

open your mind man, those are the words of someone who never tried

Bro never lobbed anything other than a basic bullet in his playtime

and just over here yappin on and on

k

like just k

[dreamy shadow]

Sounds like you handle outside opinions well

[wet swan]

i have used crossbows and bows a lot in my earlier days

but they are extremely boring, unsatisfying and easy to get kills with

[covert hinge]

i didn't play with explo arrows much. were they much better than explo chukonu?

[wet swan]

yes

[covert hinge]

ah looking at the stats on the wiki i guess they are a lot more lethal than chu ko nu explo

[blissful spindle]

match making is terrible... how can my 2 mmr team go against a 4-5 mmr team.. junk

[covert hinge]

opportunity for growth i suppose

[unborn dagger]

@short silo No it wasn't "perfectly" balanced because people would literally spam stalker beetles over and over due to Crytek buffing their damage. This is much better and reduces annoying beetle spam. Choke beetles are much better in comparison to the other beetles anyways because they have better support. Chokes makes players cough which makes them flinch and mess their aim up and takes out burning players without you giving your position away.

[short silo]

@unborn dagger I agree — you’re right that it wasn’t perfectly balanced, especially after Crytek buffed Stalker Beetle damage. That definitely created some spam situations, I’m not denying that.

But right now we went from “too much beetle spam” to “nobody uses beetles at all.”
The current version killed the entire feature, and that’s not a good middle ground either.

A simple solution could be:
👉 limit each cocoon to a single use — the first player who finds it gets the beetle inside, and after that the cocoon becomes empty.

This would prevent spam without removing Fire and Stalker Beetles from the game entirely. It preserves variety while keeping things under control.

[unborn dagger]

I don't really agree, I like where it is at right now. I see just the right amount of people using beetles, not too much and definitely not "nobody using them at all."

[short silo]

@unborn dagger I get your point, and I’m glad it still feels fine for you — but when I said “nobody uses them,” yeah, that was an exaggeration.
What I mean is that they’re barely present compared to before, and personally I almost never bring beetles anymore.

What I really miss is the in-game surprise factor:
Walking past a tree and thinking,
“hey, maybe I’ll get a Fire Beetle or a Stalker Beetle this time.”
It was a fun secondary tool you could adapt to on the fly depending on what the cocoon gave you.

Now that cocoons always give the same Choke Beetle, that little moment of randomness and creativity is gone. And for me, that’s what hurts the most — not the power level, but the loss of that gameplay variety.

I’m not saying the old system was perfect, but it definitely offered more interesting choices mid-match.

[unborn dagger]

I'll take what we have now where people have to active plan to bring stalker beetles and fire beetles in over people just grabbing a stalker beetle from a nest with packmule and spamming it.

Even then the major problem of this is Crytek buffing the damage of the beetles instead of just keeping them as they were

[unborn sandal]

#game-ideas message
hey did you know that in the game hunt: showdown there are bears on the map?

[proper moss]

good ol'brute

[unborn dagger]

They need to be more prevalent though honestly. Like if you took the bear out of the game I don't think anyone would actually notice due to how little there are.

[proper moss]

I agree they could use a tweak

theyre also easy to cheese like a meathead

the bileweaver event gave me the idea of instead of bileweaver lairs, we get brute dens with multiple brutes maybe

but that just sounds like chaos

[dreamy shadow]

variety is the spice of life ill take anything that makes dooters more involved

[unborn sandal]

They’re already planning on making them more of a pain to kill next update

It’s really not worth the effort when as far as I can tell from having killed hundreds of them they have the same drop pool as meatheads

[unborn dagger]

I just want them to be more of a threat personally like put more of those bleeding sticks around at least.

[signal mural]

Warning - incoming rant- :

I don't get these "no skill" complaints in regards to play styles... sure getting sniped when you think you just wiped the server sucks, or getting OHK'd by a shotgun at just over 10M, stepping into kill traps, or juked by a katana's ridiculously misrepresented range... or even bombarded by frag arrows -(although here I think scarcity was deserved)....

Patience is a skill.
Planning is a skill.
Accuracy is a skill.
Spacial awareness is a skill.
Goading is a skill.
Suppression and team-play is a skill.
Map knowledge is a skill.
Manual & mental dexterity are skills.

Just because other Hunters don't play the game using your skill set doesn't make them not skilled or less skilled. Momentarily annoying or frustratingly unfun sure, imbalanced maybe (looking back at OG Shredder, Revive-bolts, & 5x Solo Necro troll), but "no skill" - nah, that's just a lack of vernacular and lazy venting that makes people sound whiny and inarticulate.

[crystal plume]

I can partially agree

Although pure patience is hardly a skill, a playstyle revolving around placing traps in common spots when noone is around and then being afk somewhere safe while watching netflix is not a skill

Most other things require some form of skill, snipers still need to aim and hit their shots even if they use silencers or sit in a bush, if anything silencers will make it harder for them

Shotguns still require you to be smart in CQC and contrary to what people argue, it requires aim as well

If you aren't hitting proper center of mass, you often fail to kill in one shot

If anything it can be hard for some because of the need to use larger and faster aim movements than if they were fighting at medium/close range

[signal mural]

Arguably if you are watching YouTube or Netflix that isn't patience anymore. I don't think many players do this anyway... at least I have yet to encounter a scenario where I would suspect such play.

[crystal plume]

I have

It's not long since I had a team trap the spider nest with dark satchels and waiting far above them with a beetle to trigger them remotely while they sat a safe distance away without having to engage, doesn't help that while the nest is otherwise a really cool design, they did the mistake of adding ambient sound to it which masks dark satchles almost perfectly

That was after our team fought the other 2 teams and did both of the other bounties

So they were just waiting there not engaging anyone or doing the intended objective the entire match

It's the main reason why I hate traps and disagree with them getting buffs and us getting more types of traps, Hunt has always been a game with focus in risk vs reward, playing with a trap focused playstyle minimizes your risk while still rewarding you with kills, sometimes even bounties if you trap extracts or such

[signal mural]

Yeah my team encountered that... at least one of us survived the blasts & traps each time. When they came back to check on us we had all restored our health and wiped their team out. It was actually quite fun baiting them back to their trap and reaping vengeance.

[crystal plume]

It would be fine if they were used in more active playstyles like defending the building you're currently in to keep the risk factor like most other playstyles have, but I see them quite often being used far away from the people who originally placed them

[signal mural]

I have inadvertently gotten bounties from trapping atypical paths or compounds near extractions. I get caught in a firefight, survive, and can go scrape up the bounty from some Hunter's remains who unluckily ran into it while trying to cut & run. Is it lack of skill or passive play? I would argue not, is it annoying for the victim? Undoubtedly. But just because some people use it overly passively everyone should be equally judged as lacking skill?

Vigilant is a hard counter to traps. Explosives help otherwise. My main complaint with traps is when the interface is bugged or over-loaded with markers that these should be fixed or improved upon.

Vigilant not working as intended when the traps are within an egg husk model is a perfect example of a bad bug. Likewise the amount of white glowing stuff when having other Darksight traits like Witness, Poltergeist, or Remedy is an issue when trying to effectively use Vigilant. Traps should or appear with a yellow aura.

[hot vigil]

Think there is also an aspect of risk/reward that you are not considered into this equation.
Even a 1-tapper like shotguns, have a high risk despite being "easy" in some people's eyes.
Whereas Silenced Maynard, while being high skill to hit with at longer distances, also provides low risk due to sniper basically being un-trackable in any meaningful way, allowing to take multiple shots without ever getting shot back at.

Traps are those "low risk/high reward" tools

[signal mural]

But yeah in either scenario it is usually reliant on your enemies brashness.

Maynard silenced sniper is annoying AF in the right hands... especially with subsonic... but if you can hit a kill shot with that then good on you. It's a play style that I don't enjoy but meh, it's there for those that do and, although it might not be something fun to play against, disengagement is an opinion. Blast sense helps dealing with silencers and if I start hearing a lot of silencers on the servers during a night of play I'll take it regularly.

[signal mural]

As for risk/reward, in my opinion, the in-game rewards (xp, money, MMR gain) for most kills in Hunt are negligible to the gameplay experience which shouldn't cater to just a few particular play styles but strive to balance a sandbox extraction shooter that makes many play styles available and enjoyable to play - to keep tensions high, frustration at healthy levels, and the dopamine hits of overcoming adversaries more rewarding than the frustrations.

That's why we've got the old, "Hunt giveth, Hunt taketh" adages.

[hot vigil]

Well, risk/reward is not only of what meta progression gained, but also just in the simple spirit of winning and the road to victory.
Moreso, "enjoyable to play" doesn't equate to "enjoyable to play against", that is why I call the Maynard Sniper for "the misery machine", where we have a once sided dynamic of someone playing a parallel game to most others in the server.
And while there are some openness to the game, people usually wanna play a PvP game to interact with the enemies (other players), hence why dying to a trap or sniper can feel like a "non-play" experience.
People like winning and can enjoy losing if they feel like they were bested by a more skilful opponent in the heat of battle.
And trapping/sniping, while requiring a certain skillset, doesn't translate well into the skill expression of outplaying another player.

And I just wanna be clear, I don't mind normal sniping that much, it is just the Silenced Maynard one that is an issue as it doesn't create any openings to counter-play.

[grave wraith]

shotguns are high risk only in 3 slot shotgun + pistol loadouts

[hot vigil]

Well, that depends if we look at a meta risks or moment to moment risks.

But yes

I agree

[grave wraith]

i just hadn't complained about it in a while. done my job now though

https://tenor.com/bekbX.gif

[signal mural]

Yeah, I think we are in agreement, I think I am just trying to say "different strokes for different folks" - some people enjoy that stealth tormenter game play and it is more rewarding from them personally and so long as it doesn't become an actual meta ruining the game play for a larger majority of players then it adds to the game in another way.

If I claim victory over a gameplay style that I find abhorrent it makes the victory all the sweeter. If every battle was fought the same way in the same weather etc etc - I think I would have lost interest in this game long ago.

[red turtle]

I feel like creating Bounty Clash really messed up the game. Don't get me wrong, I love that mode, but the game has a very low player count on certain servers, and this further reduces the number of players available for each mode. Sometimes I spend 10 or 20 minutes looking for other players to start a Bounty Clash match with... Although I'm not sure if that's the reason or if there's a bug preventing me from finding people to join my game.

[proper moss]

If anything it just helps to show that bounty Hunt is the core gamemode people care about

@empty wraith the issue with your idea is I can see people absuing disabling the internet or disconnecting their computer from the internet (or crashing the game) on purpose to save their hunter. I get where you're coming from though

Need help contacting Crytek - Account wrongfully banned after 1 match

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Last night (early hours of the 22nd), I was playing Valorant. After finishing, I launched Hunt: Showdown. I played one single match, and right after, my account was permanently banned.

I am a brand new player with only about 15 hours total in Hunt. I have zero motivation to cheat—I was honestly still learning the basics. To show my support, I even bought the current Battle Pass and some Blood Bonds shortly after purchasing the game itself.

I believe this is a severe error (false positive), possibly related to having Valorant's anti-cheat (Vanguard) running before launching Hunt. I have nothing to hide.

My Request: Could anyone help me get in direct contact with Crytek's support or security team? I am pleading for a manual review of my game data. I authorize them to check all my match replays and logs. I just want a fair chance to prove my innocence.

My Steam / Hunt ID is: 76561199064036341

Thank you for reading. Any advice or assistance would mean a lot.

[crystal plume]

All you can do is contact #customer-support

[graceful wren]

As you said, I sent many emails to them, but they didn't reply

[crystal plume]

It's a ticket system on their website, not an email

Your response will be sent through email though

And if you haven't received one, then they haven't had time to get to it yet

[graceful wren]

Thank you very much for your help. I hope the official can see my appeal

[rugged cedar]

I gotta be honest, “leveling the playing field” by resetting everyone’s stats to zero is insane. This isn’t a Tarkov wipe, the game will be the same as it always has been and there’s no playing field being leveled here

[proper moss]

I mean, its just stats

[rugged cedar]

Wow, thanks, I never thought of that

[proper moss]

https://tenor.com/view/my-job-here-is-done-bye-done-gif-14879937

[tight sierra]

To me just makes me feel like theres going to be some badges locked behind kills/bounty progression and they want you to have as little options to display upon release to try and get people to buy more BB badges 🤷‍♂️

[rugged cedar]

Honestly I don’t mind the badges starting from 0, but stat trackers starting from 0 is disappointing. I get it if some of those stats weren’t tracked, but they also admitted that some things are being reset to make it “fair”

[tight sierra]

See i feel like thatd be a better solution start everyone's progress for the new unlocks at 0 but keep peoples stats from 6 years of being a dedicated player where stat wipes make 0 sense.

But its Crytek when have they ever really cared about their players. Made me laugh when they put out a post asking to vote for it as a labor of love. Maybe if we were voting for their wallets instead of the game lol

[rugged cedar]

Very true, after all of the recent shrinkflation in the battle passes and DLC and BB prices skyrocketing, I shouldn’t be surprised when they continue to make decisions that fly in the face of their most dedicated players

[cyan sandal]

I love how u care about ur old customers with a giant no answer , as a disabled veteran soldier i only asked u to bring back explosive blots for crossbow

[tight sierra]

Yup sometimes I forget how lucky I am with my other main game OSRS where the devs actually care about their players and actively listen to player feedback, respond in a timely manor, and even poll them for the majority of updates I've been playing the game since 2018 but feel like Hunt is always too late for listening to their communities feedback and its just been glaring since the few months leading up to the game engine update.

[north karma]

bruh why are these people here in these lobbies there are literally 1 and 2 stars with 6 stars

[cedar lichen]

Team mmr is what counts, right hand side

[solid pendant]

There has to be some cheat software that lets people derank themself, I (3 star, prestige 10) had to fight a duo of a 2 star and 1 star but somehow they both had prestige 15+ and were tryhard af, i hope the devs look into this and take action

[hot vigil]

Not really, can just be the good ol' "not enough players to create a balanced matchmaking enviorment".

[signal mural]

Yeah a Solo vs Trios gets a significant 2.5 Star MMR drop.

Prestige isn't a symbol of being good at the game... especially now with Sealed XP envelopes and the ease of power-leveling. I never thought I would hit P100/100. But after they added sealed XP I was able to easily grind my way through 60+ prestige levels in less than half the time it took me to get P30 something.

[north karma]

Yeah and why exactly is a trio of a 1, a 2, and a 3 averaging 3 stars and a 6 star deranked all the way to 3.5? It's silly and clearly not working properly.

[cedar lichen]

Each star doesn't have the same amount of elo in the range

It's possible to be a very low 6*

And solo will drop match mmr even more

my solo mmr for example

[signal mural]

Our stats aren't being deleted.
They remain viewable in the same tab under Career.

I think what was confusing is they say some stats (probably weapon related or some more niche tracking) weren't consistently tracked historically, so rather than have some badges be starting well progressed and others not have a single XP point, all additional stat tracking will be started fresh. Our old stats are still there just not things we were never privy to in the first place... like number of scoped kills or red barrel explosion kills...

[frank spindle]

if youre going to start the stats at zero for 2.6 then the game stats should be wiped. this is crazy otherwise.

[wanton valve]

who the fuck is even downvoting this

regionlock should be the main priority in hunt

[hot vigil]

People downvotes it because it only take a baseline understanding of online games to understand that regionlock doesn't work and doesn't solve their gripes.
Also the underlying racism in the post also doesn't net any favors.

[wanton valve]

I don't think you understand what racism is lmao

[frank spindle]

because its not a real issue and the hunt devs know this. cope.

[hot vigil]

This part.

"we all know which ones" that is dogwhistle

Also "ping abuse" is not a thing in Hunt due to the way the game structure is built and just show that they don't know what they are talking about.

[wanton valve]

again that's not even close to racism. but I'm sorry if I hurt your fragile feelings with that post 😂

[hot vigil]

No feelings were hurt for me, I am just explaning why it getting downvoted which you seem to be very emotional about :)

And you might think it is not close to racism, but it still have those undertones and same feedback for regionlock could have been given without saying those things.

[frank spindle]

you appear to be the upset one

[grave wraith]

Also, cross region friends and those who want to play the game when their region is on low player count hours

[solid pendant]

a guy with P21B100 with a similar duo being 2 stars is surely not suspicious at all, surely there is no tool that allows them to smurf in low mmr lobbies

there is something either very wrong with how stars are assigned or people are using some tool to lower their rank, i saw this in dead by daylight before, might be happening here as well

a 3rd party software that would set players rank to the lowest so they could smurf in beginner lobbies, and somehow a P21 guy is a 2 star with his duo

[hot vigil]

You can be p100 and still be in 2 stars

Honestly the fastest way to prestige is to not engage in PvP, so you can make a fresh hunter that is 1 star and farm them up to p100

without every engaging in PvP

[solid pendant]

ok thats great but i dont care about some fringe hypothetical, they were fully kitted sweats that clearly were not meant to be in a 2 star, just because prestige is independent of the rank doesnt mean prestige isnt a decent way to estimate someones experience

[hot vigil]

That is not fringe, that is speaking from experience lmao
You can be p100 and still be bad at the game.

I know that for sure myself

I am p100 bl100 with a kda of 1.32 which is kinda whatever

Likewise we have p0 bl100 people that have 2.5+ kda bc they never prestiged

I will agree they will have some inherent gameplay knowledge due to playing the game longer, but at that point it is better to look at hours played over prestige rank :)

[solid pendant]

both of them had empty steam profiles (i wonder why) so the prestige was the only thing i could have gone off

[hot vigil]

Okay, but that is not really something you can do

Due to above stated reasoning

[steel axle]

nvm figured it out

[signal mural]

Well bans, as far as I have understood, aren't using your IP address to make it harder to return. So in theory they could just be burner-accounts. Or they could have moved from Counsel to PC or vice versa and have direct game knowledge. Playing at a team minus (1v3 or 2v3) also partially ensures that your MMR climbs slower and drops quicker on a per kill basis if you are consistently getting lower-level opponents.

[paper belfry]

@terse acorn i've been loving your ideas dearly

[crystal plume]

@solid pendant It would probably help your argument more if you didn't purposefully make the popup like 2x larger than it is in reality by editing the screenshot

[solid pendant]

just a meme to attract eyes to the post, everyone who ever had to fight at extraction will know what i mean

[rugged cedar]

They said specifically that “we didn’t want some categories to be populated and others just starting at 2.6 so we took the direction to start over for fairness” so there are categories that they could’ve shown us but aren’t. I’m aware that not everything has been tracked, but if something like headshots was being tracked even though we couldn’t see it before, then I would’ve really liked to see my historical data on that.

I think it’s just the way they communicated it that leads to speculation about what stats were always being tracked and what is being reset. I don’t mind badge progress starting at zero since it’s something you earn, but for the stat trackers I think everything they have should carry over (and maybe it will, as I said their post was super ambiguous about that and just leads to speculation)

Chariot card sucks and is the most lame thing on the planet next to cancer. That's all I have to say today.

Just had a team just park and do nothing after using the card. I don't know where people get this romanticized view of players always pushing. that card is pure solo troll bait because they want to fore someone into open to snipe them or some lame crap

The problem is too many people watching youtube to get their hunt experience when in practice it's nothing like that at all. 😄

[unborn sandal]

Idk man I always use it to get a fight with a bounty that’s trying to escape

I like using it if it's one of those situations where the bounty is next to an extract thats locked or next to one that's open (and i'm further away while the boss is being banished) so I have time to try and snag a bounty for myself

@celest spindle @worn cloud What's with the back and forth in game ideas? If you want to add to someone's suggestion, you can do one post. If you want to discuss together improvements/additions to the idea, discuss them here and then edit the posts

Instead of the total of 4 posts about the same thing you have done collectively in one day, just splits the voting unnecessarily and takes more space in the channel than it should

Update: 5 posts now

If I see more then they will have to be removed, the channel is not for walls of text across multiple posts, it's one post per one idea and if the idea cannot be fit into one post then you should reconsider how in depth you are making it

[worn cloud]

I apologize, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to point out that the community's suggestion function is outdated. It doesn't allow users to leave comments or discuss below posts, it lacks even the most basic functionality.

[crystal plume]

If you mean changing to forum posts to allow each idea to be their own thread, that's likely not going to happen

Forums suck for moderation

[worn cloud]

So this is very inconvenient.

[crystal plume]

We already have a decent amount of channels we keep an eye on, threads essentially behave like their own channels, that would increase our work exponentinally

[worn cloud]

no bro
What I mean is that I've seen excellent and well-developed suggestion features in other communities, and I hope the HUNT community can learn from that and implement it on Discord.

[crystal plume]

Give me an example that isn't forum posts

This is what I see in other servers, but we do not want to implement them as it increases the work for us moderators significantly

They are better organized and better in other ways too, I agree with that, but the benefits are simply not worth the increased work needed from us as voluntary moderators

[celest spindle]

???

i just re-posted an old suggestion of mine from like 2 years ago because i got reminded of it from seraph's suggestions

[crystal plume]

Thanks for letting me know, that is also against the channel guidelines

[celest spindle]

its from 2 years ago

really?

thats just petty dibba

im disappointed

thanks for being the worst moderation team 👍

[crystal plume]

2 years?

[celest spindle]

wtf thats really 2025?

[crystal plume]

Or is there a 3rd post from 2 years ago in addition?

[celest spindle]

feels like ages ago

[celest spindle]

idk gang i dont have photographic memory

[celest spindle]

moderating something from 2 years ago is jkust wild

if it even exists

[worn cloud]

That's it. I'm sorry I can't show the specific post content. But their community's suggestion feature is fantastic and feature-rich, allowing fans to discuss and leave comments with the poster of the suggestion, and add emoticons to express their likes or dissatisfaction.

[crystal plume]

Yeah so forum posts

Also we limit the reaction emotes to prevent people using them to be toxic like adding clown reactions to suggestions they disagree with

[worn cloud]

All right
But I sincerely recommend using these kinds of forum posts.
Because it's really useful.
You know
Managers of the Maybe Hunt community can consider it

[carmine needle]

It's something we can discuss among ourselves with the CMs for sure.

[worn cloud]

yeah

[carmine needle]

Like Diiba said, we don't allow a ton of emotes to prevent toxicity. But can see what the thoughts on it are. As the system is right now, we don't have to go through 100 pages of forum posts if folks start getting into it about ideas. Just needs to be a good balance 😅

[worn cloud]

Ok, bro.
I posted a suggestion repeatedly because the community's suggestion function was not perfect and not very convenient to use.
I will avoid this situation in the future.
Thank you for reminding me.

[worn cloud]

The emoji feature can remain as is, but please allow users to communicate and discuss with the poster in suggested posts.
Please 🙏
Thank you.

This can also avoid some problems, such as duplicate posts and inconvenience in discussion and communication.

[carmine needle]

We'll discuss it. I can see the positive side of it but having been a big advocate for the troubleshooting forums, folks will still make their own posts instead of adding onto someone else's. But we could def trial it, just need to see if its something the mod team wants to do :)

[worn cloud]

ok

You know
I've always admired the developers of Crytek and HUNT because I know that both Crytek and HUNT Game developers are very willing to communicate with players and listen to their suggestions, unlike the aloof attitude of French game developer Ubisoft.

[grave wraith]

@worn cloud not sure if anyone already told u I assume so cause you're active here right now but this channel is the channel used to comment on and express opinions on suggestions
so we can do that, just not in the same channel.

[worn cloud]

ok😊

[worn cloud]

Bro, I'm glad we have similar ideas for the boss. However, I only recently came up with the idea of ​​adding this bat boss myself. I think adding this boss will bring a fresh feel to the game and better fit its historical background, theme, and art style. The gameplay I designed for this boss is also more intense and exciting.

And when I thought of this bat boss, a movie character and a game character suddenly came to mind: Van Helsing, a vampire hunter from the movie, and Gabriel, a demon hunter from Castlevania.

Furthermore, I believe adding a bat boss would better facilitate gameplay design for this boss, and I've already mentioned its gameplay in the suggestion post.

In fact, I've already come up with a completely new boss, but I haven't decided yet whether to offer any suggestions regarding it.🤔

[celest spindle]

[worn cloud]

Maybe in the future Crytek will actually include the bat boss I suggested in the game, and it would be better to make suggestions about new bosses then.😉

@brazen osprey what about when duo quest wwith solo and gets trolled and teammates lock them out of playing for 40 minutes

[brazen osprey]

elaborate?

I dont really understand your hypothetical

like if a duo abandon their third?

in that case it sucks for the solo yes, but the duo have also just handicapped themselves because now they are a duo in a trio game and their team MMR will reflect that. That situation is better than the inverse where the solo gets to quit out leaving the duo disadvantaged and then the solo can run off and do it again to another duo. Overall I think itll reduce toxic gameplay by teaching people they need to commit to the matches a bit more.

[wet swan]

wewll seems like you undderstood

[brazen osprey]

Yea I figured it out, my opinion is benefit outweighs the risk because that duo already has an incentive to not grief the third, whereas a third has no current incentive to not quit out and abandon the duo

[fervent nimbus]

The game in 2020 was a masterpiece, hell even in 2023. Then came the modern audiences, and every on can have all the bullets, all the gun from the start and all the help from the server when joinning a guy from SPAIN with a guy from MONGOLIA!

And give the benefite to the Asian one...

[knotty tundra]

noticed the sound issue in like 1/3rd of my games, sometimes im getting killed by a streamer and whilst listening back to what i sound like on their end, considering the possibility that the environment is the cause of the problem which it isnt, its literallyjust audio not working right

[brazen osprey]

@last knot in your hypothetical, is this crossbowman just randomly camping, or have they gone silent during a fight?

[last knot]

well both. I play this game for the fights but when I have to search for someone that is just hiding somewhere and will 100% get the first shot on me cuz I am moving and they arent then I might as well go extract.

[brazen osprey]

Well you have choices, if you know someone is hiding nearby and you don’t need to go through them, don’t. Just disengage and move on.

If they were randomly hiding (you hadn’t traded bullets yet) and ambushed you then you are being careless on the approach to a compound and they took a gamble on where youd come from. Compounds are already designed to make camping hard by making lines of sight and needing to look back and forth between entrances stc

[last knot]

problem being 90% of this playerbase plays exactly like this and therefore I'd be avoiding a whole lot of fighting sadly

[wanton wind]

where player

[brazen osprey]

If 90% of the people you play against hide in the corners for 30 minutes you should be laughing about how you just walk around the map unchallenged collecting bounty tokens and strolling to extract. Your issue is that your play style is catering to the campers, and at 90%, most aren’t even campers, I reckon you just push every time and they hear you coming so position themselves.

@ebon oyster pretty sure clash ddoesn't really take into account MMR that much

[inner canopy]

First of all, hello everyone, I think the PC interface needs to be changed because this awesome new feature was made for consoles, but it's complicated and always prone to errors for PC players. Switching weapons, removing weapons, and organizing your inventory are very complicated and difficult. It used to be great, but I understand it's difficult for console players. Yes, you fixed that, but why adjust the entire console interface this time? And secondly, the gameplay. I find it a bit ridiculous that people are jumping and shooting. Don't you think that's ridiculous in such a realistic game? The physics and PVP aspects of the game need a bit more development, but we shouldn't go overboard like some game companies. We should remember that this is a game, and it shouldn't be complicated. What do you think, everyone? (English words may be distorted, I apologize in advance for my bad English.)

[proper moss]

It also not all that populated so it's struggling to match matches as is I feel.

Crytek doesn't read this channel, if you want them to see this, post it here following the correct formatting: https://discord.com/channels/350201607788429323/1333842822079451256

[empty wraith]

I can’t “place ping marker” (R1) it’s a bug been that way for days. Anyone know a fix?

[wide thicket]

I went down to the Butcher boss and was instantly red skulled. I wasn’t downed before I encountered the boss.
Edit: realized this isn’t where to put issues.

[unborn sandal]

Butcher burns your bars

Are you aware of how burning and bar mechanics works in this game?

[grave wraith]

yea this isnt a bug

[wide thicket]

Yes I know how burning bars work. I had two full bars

[grave wraith]

right. so the butcher burnt one of your bars, and getting downed destroyed the other

he can destroy bars with burn at the same time as you go down, and if your body is set on fire which it likely was it can destroy a remaining sliver of health quickly.

[empty wraith]

I figured it out myself. It’s a setting to “hide ping place marker” that for some reason enabled on its own. So got ping working again lol.

[grand obsidian]

Hello , can somebody tell me if you need to be crytek partner to distribute the headtaker on stream or can I share it while streaming hunt ?

[crystal plume]

It's not limited to partners afaik

[empty wraith]

Game consistently crashes 1 time everyday around 9pm mountain time. This is PS5 PRO. Never crashed and rarely disconnected on regular PS5. I see the PS5 PRO HAS HAD Crash problems with hunt for years now but why 9pm? (I usually play 6-8 hours a day.)

[proper moss]

@magic cliff so instead of a full Mosin/auto 4 shorty you get a Mosin obrez and auto 4 shorty for full speed

[magic cliff]

Perhaps

[proper moss]

I get where you're going but it gives value to quartermaster and 2 slot weapons to where they would probably be more of the norm or people won't give a shit about movement speed

[magic cliff]

Or, they wouldn't give you full speed, just speed you have now

If you have 3 slots or less (Obrez + uppercut for instance) you'd get higher speed

[proper moss]

That's what I mean full speed, regular current speed

Movement speed changes would probably be the biggest fundamental change to the game in its history, besides it pivoting from pve to pvpve

But I think it also would change much. 10% isn't going to change much for people, shorties might be more common. Too much of a percentage decrease or increase and it can have a drastic negative effect on the game

There's a reason why a lot of games don't implement such a system, it can be overbearing and drive players away, especially if it hasn't been part of the game for years

[magic cliff]

That's fair, but it did survive bullet drop which caused a lot of drama. Which is also why I want it to be a limited time trial to see what players reactions to it are

[proper moss]

Bullet drop is a much smaller of a change than movement speed and jump height

In my honest opinion

[magic cliff]

Jump height will be unchanged

Jump length could be bigger

Or... Further

[proper moss]

Potato potato

You catch my drift

Movement mechanics can legitimately make or break a game

You also run into having to do new animations for all the speeds of movement or it looks weird

Cause of stride of steps and whatnot

[magic cliff]

True, we had 10% movement speed buff with bounty and that looked fine, not sure how it'd look slowed down tho

[proper moss]

It would look weird, unless Crytek already has a dynamic system

[magic cliff]

But it's already been tested, it looked fine. We had it in garden of the witch

[proper moss]

Like look at someone walking through concertina, it slows you down and it does look weird

Albeit that's a bit more drastic

[slim wedge]

For the love of god fix the death cheat trait loss glitch!!!!!

[proper moss]

Happening on the 11th

[slim wedge]

it should have been fix right away

[proper moss]

I don't disagree

[opaque temple]

funny thing is this rainning map all the time... its 80% this map... crytek fix this rotation code...pls

[hot vigil]

That is random for ya'

[proper moss]

Not to rain on your parade but I rarely get rain.

RNG isn't in your favour, guess you aren't so...lucky

[dreamy shadow]

Brother can we trade I want more rain it looks so good but I’m out here getting like 1/10

[mild abyss]

finally someone else said it

[hot vigil]

Nice write up, but it needs to go to #feedback

[stray dome]

Immolators should not be one shot by a water bottles. Not only takes away from the utility of derringer pennshot.
But if heavy rain and deep water doesn’t kill them. Neither should one water bottles. Since the drenched effect last 15 seconds the immolator should be wet for 15 seconds where I can’t explode and gives you a 15 second window to kill it with any type of ammo or melee attack.
Water bottles should be a consumable you can pour on teammate or self to make less noise breaking bottle. Should be a consumable you spawn in with at least 3.
This is to counter the fusees/flare burning epidemic. lol I would say 5 but fusees have more utility so it shouldn’t match it.
This would also entice players to bring hellfire bombs more often to burn players instead of fusees/flares. This would make longer more strategic matches.
Maybe they are waiting until they blend tools/consumable slots together? Who knows? Missed opportunity regardless!

[unborn sandal]

Pennninger is in zero danger of being outclassed. The only other tool that even comes close to its level of utility is the spear but they’re both overtuned imo

[grave wraith]

Medkit

and chokes make it more arguable

[grim arrow]

Does anyone know when are they going to fix the US East server? It has come down to having issues in almost every other match.

It's getting to the point where some days it's unplayable.

[edgy dirge]

@mellow plover i didnt understand your suggestions, there is already a south american server my dude

[fossil silo]

@drifting elk your message on #feedback : +1

These choices show utter disrespect from Crytek toward its community.

So many talented people overshadowed by the company’s direction.

It’s disappointing, again.

[crystal plume]

@royal flicker Just to clarify one point, you are not paying for a stat to be tracked, the stat will be tracked regardless and you can even check it for free. The cost is to make it public/add it to your player card

[valid mango]

Stop being angry at Crytek. They're doing the right thing. It's an indie company, they have to make money somehow! The fact that they're aggressively monetizing the game like in F2P games, even though it's not an F2P game, doesn't excuse them!

[uneven cairn]

Pennyshot derringer has a lot more use than just killing immolators lmao

Its about 1/10th of its usefulness

[leaden solstice]

Why can’t we get retroactive stats? The data’s there, isn’t it? Let the OGs flaunt it!

[formal hatch]

titles and statistics costing BBs, not unlocking through gameplay and not even counting your stats retroactively is beyond ridiculous

[valid mango]

People complained about the weekly missions, so they removed them and then gave the same thing in the story.

[deep fern]

Forced to play Bounty Clash. F U

[normal rivet]

can we show the unlock requirment of a title after unlock? xD dont know for what i got the things after unlock....

[grave wraith]

Crytek doesn't read this channel, you might wanna use game-ideas or feedback

[normal rivet]

thanks

[lime jasper]

I would like the KDA to be calculated based on a certain number of games (for example 2,000 games or 5,000) and not on all of our matches since the beginning of the game… What do you think?”

[grave wraith]

I agree, though I think it can be a seperate stat. As it is, KDA doesn't really reflect the current condition of the player and is very subject to outlying incidents.
Particularly, KDA got proper ruffled up with the old necromancer

[crystal plume]

I would like the KDA or KD to not exist at all

[tulip pawn]

BP bug - again.
Obviously we've gotten used to the many problems over time, but my heart hurts for the game, the feeling of a good start, the positive innovations of the UI are spoiled by a trivial glitch. Of course, everyone will have the BP - if we got compensation or not - ,but this is a game that has been around for many years, we simply don't understand how such things can happen. This is discouraging. I know that there's nothing we can do now, but sigh, both from the developers and the players.😭 🤷🏻

[rancid wadi]

OMG...having to pay 200 BBs for skin display on profile for skins you already own is just.....beyond greed

[karmic robin]

just don't look at it

peaceful life

https://tenor.com/view/pipotam-baby-hippo-hippo-wash-shower-gif-3406421565683572068

[flat sandal]

It wouldn't make much of a difference I think. After some noise at the beginning you end up where you should be at.

[crystal plume]

It's not a problem of me looking at it, my KDA is high idc, I just don't think it's healthy for the game and makes people play in boring and slow ways

[flat sandal]

yeah, now it got even worse^^ crazy

[karmic robin]

I can see that

I think that people would complain a lot though

[analog ridge]

So after I maxed everything in the Book of Weapons, Crytek deleted it and now I have to master all weapons again??? Feels like a punch in the gut for a completionist like me 😒

[flat sandal]

I think the aim is to make ppl spend little amounts so there will be less free loaders that only get the bp for free basically^^

it always struck me as a bit odd that you get all the bp stuff for like 400BBs or something like that. Probably makes some weird marketing sense idk

or just forces you to play and giving you the chance to consider spending more

ffs man^^

[royal flicker]

Thank you for the clarification! 💗

[south ivy]

Someone from the devs or mods can tell me why do I get scammed from 5000 BP Exp and 50 BBs when I logged in 5/6 of my challenges were already done and I didn't get the rewards...?

[crystal plume]

Known issue, all we know for now

[lapis notch]

Seriously, Inwould grab a bag of popcorn right now if I could. That's what you get uf you defend everything and gaslight everyone. People wanted CoDfication and they got it now.

I will check out the BP after work and decide if it's worth the money. I will certainly not pay for stats, avatars, titles or lore.

[errant oxide]

I purchased every DLC before 1896, and a handful since. I don't mind spending money on the game, but the direction it's been headed and the way they are trying to get people to spend more money with FOMO actually has made me decide NOT to spend any money on the game

[spark glen]

exactly the same for me... bought everything since 2018... including battlepasses, almost every BB legendary hunters, etc... i am so dissapointed and disgusted...

the fact that some of the story challenges are behind a paywall (and a high one too) is a disgrace to the players

[carmine needle]

@prime wave the reason main weapons aren't throwable is so that you can't chuck a weapon then take someone elses

Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense but it's that way for a reason

[prime wave]

will that be so bad if you chuck a weapon and take another from someone else? It sounds like a interesting idea 🧐

[carmine needle]

Because then the other person won't have a weapon

[prime wave]

well that would be his problem beacuse he thoew it away himself no? 😄

[carmine needle]

No. You bring an axe. You chuck it on the ground. Then you go kill an enemy hunter. Then you steal his weapon. Now, if he gets up, his new weapon will be where you threw it.

That is the issue

Or they have to have the axe magically reappear

[prime wave]

You a re right i am sorry i am ashamed for not thinking about that.

[carmine needle]

All good!

I just wanted to let you know why it's that way 😅

Maybe I'm time that will change

In time*

[prime wave]

My 2.5K hours in the game mean nothing now 😄

[carmine needle]

Lol

Hey @uncut helm did you put in a ticket with #customer-support ?

I've been reporting the folks who are having issues with game version stuff

[uncut helm]

yes

i am talking to customer support

[signal mural]

Think of the Krampus "Storyline" more like a classic Seasonal FOMO skin (They usually cost 1,500 ). Then it kinda makes sense at that price point... it is a seasonal exclusive with a portrait (200BBs seems to be base line there, stupidly expensive IMO), frame, title, one legendary shotgun skin and some filler junk... I'm not saying it is worth it but from that perspective it is more typically priced based on their usually marketing.

[spark glen]

then put it in the store and don't pretend this is part of the story, AND DON'T ADVERTISE IT IN THE ROADMAP as a new feature

never seen a game where you need to pay more to learn about the lore of the game

the funny thing is if it had been in the store, i would have probably purchased it. but instead, they added to the roadmap "look, we are giving you a new thing with more content, new quest lines and story challenges and all", but in the end its just another obvious way to sell the bundle

i just feel like its dishonest to the players

[signal mural]

Trust me I was just as put off by it. Especially since this is just Questlines all over again... except you pay to participate in specific ones. I think the worst part is that it is time-gated, eliminate that and then it is fine IMO.

To anyone who bought it: does it remove the timer once you purchased it?

But at least we can look into it, see the challenges & rewards and make a judgement call.

[spark glen]

we can see the rewards but not the challenges

i do agree that the time-gate makes it worst

[spiral girder]

It is absolutely disgusting that you don't get the avatar picture for hunters you've already purchased.

Not a single thing for players who played before 1896 update. Not a single thing for all the weapons I maxed out in the book before the update.

[signal mural]

Yeah honestly that I find absurd. I think you should have to kill X enemy Hunters as whatever Legendary Hunter to Unlock their associated avatar picture.

[little jackal]

I wish so badly they would just do this. I'd have nothing on my HUD except the automatic ones that display based on context.

[lapis notch]

Imagine you play a game but every single cutscene is behind a paywall and without them you don't even know what's going on.

[spark glen]

are you making a reference to something in particular ? haha

[lapis notch]

Not really because it sounds so absurd that no one would pull this stunt off beside of Crytek. Or is there really a game out there like this?

[grizzled sleet]

yeahhhh the new monetization stuff is such a yikes from me dog profile card stuff is extremely silly in pricing like the kill trackers are so nickle and diming you it feels. not to mention the limited time quest pass thats just not a good value at all...

[spark glen]

well as i said, i dont know any haha

[grizzled sleet]

you ever go to reply and forget to uncheck it when you decide to do a different thing

that was me just then sorry

[ember kelp]

Title: Timer FOMO on Story-Challenges
Description: If I buy something like a story challenge there should be NO Timer on it! There is the possibility of paying for something with BB that you do not get. With a Season-Pass (that is also cheaper) that runs for a long time that is fine and a common thing, but here I would have expected that there is no FOMO! Plz remove the Timer from all story-challenges!

[brazen osprey]

Title: target found symbol sucks
Description: the only hand drawn symbol on the map looked so much better than this new immersion breaking red one

[valid mango]

It's like a battle pass, only more expensive and with fewer rewards. In my opinion, the small studio did a good job, and there's inflation 🙂 They have to make money.

[unborn dagger]

You are aware that they're naking money on the BP, the $40 price tag, and the paid dlc right?

[latent geyser]

They did a good job... but they could have done a much better one sadly.

[valid mango]

The battle pass still costs 1,000 BB, and inflation is rising.

[unborn dagger]

Sounds like an excuse to defend greedy practices.

[next forge]

yea 1750 is bs

corpo greed at its finest

[unborn dagger]

Like seriously they could charge it another 500 bbs and I wouldn't be that mad.

[valid mango]

What should they do to earn more when everything costs more?

[next forge]

do better with the game

[unborn dagger]

Either that or go free to play if you're going to charge nearly 20 dollars for 3 skins

[next forge]

we want to support the game but i agree with you that price is a little insane!

honestly indie titles are the way to go atm. all of my friends are boycotting the game industry and i feel like its a good thing. if you really want that skin maybe use your bbs from the battlepass and then add a purchase just cause we know they wont change this one

i just found out you have to purchase the titles with blood bonds lmao nevermind i give up

[spice aspen]

understandable

[languid vapor]

Did they actually change the Boss location marker to a digital crosshair from the hand drawn one that has Class to it?

[unborn dagger]

If you look closer it does have a hand drawn look to it. It's a bit too clean looking is the issue

@languid vapor Look at Crygreen's suggestion, it does confirm that they changed the look

[shadow karma]

Completed challenges without playing and no rewards? this a bug?

[carmine needle]

Ues

It's known

[flat sandal]

Battlepass is 400 with the BBs you get

this one story thing is like a small DLC with a little bit of fluff not worth mentioning in terms of effort that goes into it

if you made it permanently available, reduce the price and put better "challenges" into it that actually reflect the story, you actually have something

I would get it if there is a nice hunter with weapon, charm, portrait, frame, fun inspect animation and stuff. Just the whole package with a nice background story. Let me save the whole thing into a loadout, including the stats shown and the whole profile thing? Then it would be actually round and perhaps even worth the high price as an occasional support thing

you literally get whole games taking years of development for that price and I'm not sure what is terribly wrong with this argument

anyways...

[wet swan]

you're so naive it's insane

18 bucks for a DLC is madness if you don't even see most of what you'd get

[rustic timber]

Waoow.. the game is buggy right now. Can't get into bounty clash, always brings me to bounty hunt. Keeps crashing out, and have to reconnect. Hits don't connect.. The maps keep popping up for some reason, while in game. Why? I don't get why this is a thing..

[hasty siren]

I agree and i get they gotta make there money some how. I just dont understand how its twice the price with a third of the rewards as the battle pass. And im one of those cats that would have bought it if they skin was badass . Krumpus is cool and all. But not gonna get me for 1750

[restive ember]

i think ursa mortis is supposed to be annoying, i think the goal is to funnel more players into fighting

@brazen osprey

[grave wraith]

@frank saddle if you want it to be so shortlived, we already have big dynamite bundle which does pretty much what you seem to be describing, just with the addition of damage

[terse raft]

1750 is too much, if they want to raise the prices like this atleast give us something back rather than a recycled event and mere a speck of new content this past year....if they gave us a handful of new content for once people probably wouldn't be as upset but all we get are price hikes, duplicated skins, predatory questlines without even mentioning the avatars/trackers

[brazen osprey]

I think she actively dissuades me from going to the circus in a way bileweaevers never did re:nest, and this event is more compound centric than the last two so that basically makes me want to not do the event

[signal mural]

@near heart But that band-aid has some next level adhesive... can pull it off in one go, might even take some skin with it... make things worse, get an infection. 😛

[flat sandal]

so the stats trackers we can display show wrong numbers, right?

[crystal plume]

Yes but we don't know wrong in what way, originally they seemed to be supposed to start from zero, but it seems to have possibly started tracking already some time ago, maybe last patch and using values tracked since then

[flat sandal]

possible, some seem lifetime as well though

[crystal plume]

The stats that existed on your stats page already are obviously the same

But I haven't seen any lifetime stats for the new ones that weren't accessible anywhere previously

[flat sandal]

yeah makes sense

hihi, furthest kill 49 meters^^

that was a guy behind a guy with double chains^^

[copper herald]

Title: FOMO and BB-price of Story Challenges
Description: What a bad idea. Compared to the game's full price OR to any DLC: The Krampus Story Challenge costs 17€ (quite double the amount) - for sth you have to work for (and not getting your reward instantly). The basic idea is awesome, but the price makes it so worse, I'm getting totally angry about the pricing strategy. I'm just bugying the Battlepass as usual and nothing more. If that's your idea how to earn money = Bad idea. Reduce it to 500 BBs max. Be fair and respect players.

[maiden pumice]

I am not even thinking about how story missions is expensive, but how Crytek would deal with people who already bought it when they lower up price of it xD

[latent geyser]

They can issue refunds for that. It happened previously, notably back at the beginning of JotF when the event struggled to launch properly.

[maiden pumice]

Yea they will do it

We won xD

Story missions for 1150 (still too much since bp gives you more rewards costing 1000)
And stats are free, profiles are for 100

[latent geyser]

Considering it'd be back for the next year, this would make it more akin to the Devil's Advocate or Thorn Wreath, so for a slightly higher price you'd get 3 skins.

1000 for an old seasonal skin, 1150 for a bunch of quests that will grant you 3 rewards.

Without the time limit that's already a lot more fair.

[maiden pumice]

Naah, but I got your point

[edgy dirge]

@broken moat I am so with you friend, they removed handwritten icons and now the compound target too, the map used to be a in world consistent map with a person taking a pen or a pencio and quickly draw something over it to be a clearly gamified UI, its very sad

[latent geyser]

Rn you're paying more than a BP for less content than a BP alongside mandatory grinding that will be gone after 60 days. Next week you'll pay more than a season hunter to get a hunter, a skin and a charm with a mandatory grinding that you'll be free to do once you buy it, and if you can't buy it now you'll see it back next year. My thoughts shortened :>

[north onyx]

@ionic sinew you had 1.8+ KDA, it's just KD now

[unborn dagger]

Oh the stat trackers are free! That's good and how it should be

[wind kiln]

map NEEDS to have cursor as an option, not being able to turn on the map is awful

[crisp willow]

If you bought a dlc the portrait and everything of said hunter should be included. If as a compensation the whole dlc gets more expensiv, then so be it, but that you "need" to buy something you already have?..

[unborn dagger]

I agree, the portraits aren't even good either, it's just the character standing there lol

[crisp willow]

What bothers me will be the statistics of these portraits and titles. Question: What do you do with your weekly challenge BB's when you have every dlc and skin in the game like me? There will be lunatics who buy the titles from it.. If the statistic then shows that portaits and titles get bought alot, we are doomed.

[dreamy shadow]

So they’re not giving avatars for character packs that have already been purchased? It’s a separate buy? Kinda lame

[pine python]

Have avatars for hunters you own. For example, I'd love an avatar that's exclusive to those who have the Plague Doctor. Also, can we add a track stat for KDA for the player card as well, not just K/D (it makes me look better)

[vernal plank]

@misty hornet exactly what i was thinking

[near heart]

My body is ready.

[unborn dagger]

@quick crag funny thing about your suggestion is they have done that in one of their trailers where the bodies would actually float. I dunno why they don't do it in the game for hunters

[quick crag]

maybe it was too buggy to be fully implemented then, hope we'll see something like that eventually

[wild harness]

i just logged in for the first time in the event, and all my non-premimum challenges are already finished without giving me any rewards

[latent geyser]

Known issue, might be fixed next week.

[wild harness]

[frank spindle]

the game mode bug still exists FFS

and still getting kicked out of menus when the team leader makes changes\

[frank spindle]

i actually cant believe that these are not fixed after 3 months

[errant oxide]

Did Crytek actually say something about addressing this?

[night tree]

Real annoyed that there is a clock on completing a story mission that cost 1750 blood bonds. Especially since you need to get three kills with a melee weapon with the crappiest hit box

Im gonna be PISSED if Im not able to unlock the skin on that 1750 story mission in time

[frank spindle]

theyre changing this

[night tree]

Thank god for that. I dropped $20 to get more blood bonds just for that new Krampus skin

[brazen osprey]

Yes, they know what’s causing it but havent found a solution yet, hoping to fix it next week

[fervent nimbus]

I realy don't understand, why I connect to EU servers, and all players are from Asia... I realy don't understand...

[frank spindle]

what does it matter, its not really an issue and crytek kmow this

[brazen osprey]

@modest badger how would the wellspring work in a team?

[visual oxide]

I doubt I am the first to say it but I honestly thought the new story mode would have been narrated.

[carmine needle]

@teal ingot they are going to lower the price

Per the recent dev blog

[teal ingot]

oh great

[carmine needle]

it's going to 1150 iirc

[teal ingot]

ok

thx

[carmine needle]

Early next week :)

[silent tinsel]

Are the pledgemark posters already in the game? has anyone seen them already? they are more rare than gold registers

[hot vigil]

I've found a couple

[silent tinsel]

so they exist, okay

[latent geyser]

Yeah I also found one yesterday in the little white shack at Stillwater Bend.

[north onyx]

@teal ingot usually christmas skins are 2k bonds, and now you're getting more than just the skin and for less bonds! and we're still complaining 😐

[manic burrow]

If I remember correctly, the coalbearer was 1500 and that’s the most expensive Christmas skin I can think of.

Have there been any other singular skins (I.e. excluding double skins like Bloody Red) that cost more than 1500bb? Whoever is paying that is insane. Even the 1500 price tag is 50+% higher than what new skins used to be

[crystal plume]

Isn't the Devil's Advocate available for 1500 atm?

[unborn sandal]

That game idea might be the biggest skill issue in gaming history

[north onyx]

Can you be more specific?

[unborn sandal]

#feedback message

this is happening with any skin. Its just the drilling not that skin

[latent geyser]

On the Hunt website you can ask the support directly to help you. If you've tried to restart your game, to reconnect your twitch account and haven't gotten 5k Hunt $ from the drop, then that's the way to go. You'll have to give them your steam id so they can check what you got.

[slim wedge]

LAGGY SERVERS AGAIN!!!!!

[icy siren]

Hey Crytek try to not get discouraged by the mean and loud haters. You're doing a great job ! I love the new ping icons !

[unborn dagger]

I tested this on the black skin for drilling and it works fine. It's only this event skin for drilling that it's happening to.

[unborn sandal]

I’ve had it happen on other skins

[frank spindle]

The game mode bug is the most annoying bug I’ve had to deal with and no mention of trying to fix it.

[frank spindle]

Fix your internet.

[grave wraith]

@gleaming needle maybe this could be our second 2-slot pistol?

seems fitting for one

and afaik it's a really big gun

[gleaming needle]

Yes, we can make it into 2 slots.

[brazen osprey]

@flat sandal Crytek explicitly said they won’t do pings for hunters/corpses because they don’t want people ping-scanning for information. Like if you are in a fight against a team you could keep pinging a downed enemy to keep tabs on them getting revived.

[flat sandal]

Thanks. I was wondering what the reason would be. Maybe it was tested, I would have thought that that wouldn't really be an issue seeing that, if you can tell by seeing (or hearing) the downed hunter it seems difficult to reliably ping them. Especially as it would take the attention of the fight. Just seems like a very niche scenario.

it would be like Witness with crazy downsides. I wouldn't pick it for free^^

[paper belfry]

#feedback message

@prime patrol pick winnie silen with fire ammo, pick clues, dont pvp, kill ai, grap xp boons, easy profit

[brazen osprey]

They need to think in terms of gain balance and abuse mostly, in the death stream where they said this, they mentioned people “ scanning the horizon and checking bushes”, so the concern must be when you can’t see the body but the game has line of sight

[crystal plume]

@loud hamlet The hide locked filter is essentially the same as having a owned filter

[frank escarp]

@slate fossil Yeah that's a good idea. Doesn't have to be limited to fresh hunters either, it can be any trait that you haven't entered a match with yet. They've added the little orange dots to indicate which traits you've picked up in game, they could re-use those in the menu to indicate which traits you've added recently which can be refunded safely

[slate fossil]

Personally I'd be happy with the complete removal of that penalty but 90% of what bothers me about the system is the penalty for a fresh hunter, I typically stop caring after that as I have the majority of my "mandatory" traits at that point

Need help contacting Crytek - Account wrongfully banned after 1 match

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Last night (early hours of the 22nd), I was playing Valorant. After finishing, I launched Hunt: Showdown. I played one single match, and right after, my account was permanently banned.

I am a brand new player with only about 15 hours total in Hunt. I have zero motivation to cheat—I was honestly still learning the basics. To show my support, I even bought the current Battle Pass and some Blood Bonds shortly after purchasing the game itself.

I believe this is a severe error (false positive), possibly related to having Valorant's anti-cheat (Vanguard) running before launching Hunt. I have nothing to hide.

My Request: Could anyone help me get in direct contact with Crytek's support or security team? I am pleading for a manual review of my game data. I authorize them to check all my match replays and logs. I just want a fair chance to prove my innocence.

My Steam / Hunt ID is: 76561199064036341

Thank you for reading. Any advice or assistance would mean a lot.

You have been posting this for a bit over a week now, you have already been told customer support is the only way to handle the situation

If they aren't unbanning you it simply means there's enough evidence to prove it was a legitimate ban

[coral salmon]

Hello! I reached lvl 50 with Tenesee Morgan, and I haven't gotten the next level of it.
It says [!Loc]Requires Purchasing

[crystal plume]

You need to do the new story challenge

It's not the same progression as other hunters

[coral salmon]

Got you. Thanks

Can I retire the "old" hunter?

[lapis notch]

so there are new challenge lines after they removed it a year ago. I guess it's a challenge not getting exhausted by the overhelming overusement of Winfield and Pax.

[deft gust]

i'm already so sick of everyone running the same hunters with winfields, event challenges not being the same for everyone was a good change and should apply to these stories too.

[white plover]

As long as you have reached level 50

[white plover]

I think it's a nice change because otherwise it's all just been mosin spitzer + uppercut/dolch for me

Out of all weapons to complain about running into, I don't know if Winfield would be the one I would choose

[unborn dagger]

Yeah I definitely wouldn't be complaining about Winfields lol

[untold crescent]

It's a great weapon until you start tickling at great difference putting no pressure

I didn't realize the story challenge was going and was wondering why everybody was using one of my top weapon choices lol

[deft gust]

it's not that winfields are a problem it's that i like match variety

seeing the same hunter and gun over and over is boring

i just think, ideally quests should avoid swaying individual matches too much, that's why everyone being given their own individual quest requirements is nice
(and also trend towards more broad quests in general: less 'hunter damage with Ranger 76', more 'hunter damage with compact ammo'

[grave wraith]

it helps with that in a way though. encourages people to not just use mosins all the time

[signal mural]

@loud hamlet An "Owned" button would be the same as "Hide Locked" which already exists.

[lapis notch]

Ceetainly not in a range fight but with everybody using levering Winfields are not the rifles you wanna run into plus it's a head clicker from short to mid range.

[lapis notch]

Exactly this. We had it before during the weekly challenges that weapons weren't that strong. It was just overhelming how many players played the same weapon for the first 2 days. And now it's worse and it contradicts what Crytek said a few updates ago.

[last vortex]

Why are he and I in the same match? Both solo... he plays against a lower MMR. Me... not so much.

[grave wraith]

because the game doesn't have enough players to support a perfectly balanced matchmaking system

[last vortex]

You say that, but it has 14K players right now and the highest peak in the past 24 hours since the 2.0 release 18 months ago. I guess everyone is just better tha me.

[crystal plume]

Remember that those players are divided between all the regions, modes and most will already be in a match rather than matchmaking at the exact same time

Also into duo and trio queues

On top of that they seem to also use a win/loss streak factor to MMR, so there will be further differences on what MMR a solo or others might have even excluding their usual MMR modifiers

[grave wraith]

#feedback-discussion message this, seeing as Diiba didn't ping you

[graceful wren]

What the fuck did I do? I don't know. Why didn't they provide the evidence? What a fucking official

fuck crytek

I’ve played the game for less than fifteen fucking hours, bought it less than a week ago, and got banned almost a month ago without even being given any evidence. What the hell is Crytek doing?

It's been ages and still no reply or resolution. What the hell is Crytek even doing?

I've reached my breaking point.

[grave wraith]

did you reach out to support

!support

[marsh garden]

Instructions on how to reach out can be found here: #customer-support.

[graceful wren]

Of course, I've been contacting them for over twenty consecutive days now, and Crytek still hasn't provided any specific reason for my ban.

I’m losing my mind. What are the staff at Crytek even doing?

If that website had been helpful, I wouldn't have had to reach out to everyone for help on Discord.

I bought the game on the 16th, purchased in-game currency and DLC on the 19th, and got banned on the 22nd — all in less than a week. I didn’t even finish last season’s battle pass. Who wouldn’t be crushed by this?

So, is there anyone from Crytek actually here?

[crystal plume]

If they have evidence that lead to the ban they won't be sharing it with you

That's exactly what cheat providers want to better figure out what is getting flagged in their cheats so they must keep that information private

And as said, customer support is the only way to handle the situation, if you have received a negative response then that's that

[graceful wren]

They provided no explanation, just sent a generic template reply. I can guarantee there are no cheating programs running in the background of my system.

Even so, should an innocent person be wrongly banned like this?

[crystal plume]

I have no way to know for certain whether or not you are innocent

I'm just saying the fact of the matter

[graceful wren]

I've never seen anything like this in any game I've played. The devs don't do their job—cheaters run free while innocent players get banned. What the fuck kind of logic is that?

I'm trapped in a loop of trying to prove my innocence, and now I'm even afraid to seek help elsewhere—this game's community is completely rotten.

I can’t take it anymore. It’s been so long with no action taken.

[grave wraith]

all you can do atp is move on and play something else

[graceful wren]

I'm also encountering this for the first time. If I hadn't gone through it myself, I wouldn't understand what others are facing. I get what you're going through.

I was genuinely interested in this game—I even recommended it to friends. But after what happened to me, they’re too afraid to play it now.

I refuse to just give up everything I've worked for.

[grave wraith]

it's a videogame that you played for a week

i understand being frustrated about this but it sounds like you are blowing it a bit out of proportion

[graceful wren]

Forced into it, with no other choice

If you were wrongly banned, what would you do?

[grave wraith]

reach out to support, if that doesn't work and I'm told there's nothing else I can do, I'd move on and play something else because that's all I can do

it's not giving up, it's just accepting that you've done all you can and moving on is the only option left

i'm sure it sucks

[graceful wren]

thank you

[white plover]

@chrome sage Your post in #game-ideas has been removed due to just being a copy + paste of the previous idea. Feel free to use the 👍 to show your agreement!

[rare star]

Is the K/D stat for profile banner bugged? doesn't pick up on the proper K/D ratio

[crystal plume]

It does, your stat page has KDA not KD

So they are different stats

One including assists, one not

[rare star]

interesting

ah yeah checks out

weird design choice on how there's two different stat trackers though.

[limpid hinge]

decrease rain %

its so awful

[placid viper]

any news on when the servers will go down to fix bugs?

[carmine needle]

Not yet

[white plover]

The one that says "Kills/Deaths/Assists" includes your assists and so it is a higher number than the one that says "Kills/Deaths" as that only tracks your Kills/Deaths

I see that was said above so my apologies

but yeah I do wish they would be consistent

Although at this point everyone is so used to the KDA being shown on profile and some people may want to just show off straight KD in a way

[deft gust]

holy shit i havent had rubberbanding this bad since 2021, what is going on with the servers?

[unborn dagger]

Idk what happened and it's so weird after the last event where it felt the most stable for me.

[spiral plank]

us west server rubberbanding and crashing make game literally unplayable are they even trying to fix?

[hoary nimbus]

Crytek please fix whatever is wrong with the sound, some sound queues are completely gone in some scenarios even when enemies are in less than 15 meter range and there is no sound masking it. People jumping down obstacles and footsteps somehow get completely deafen since 2 updates ago.

[dreamy shadow]

@terse acorn #game-ideas might be one of the best ideas I’ve seen. The splash art in this game is second to none it would be so cool to have more of it like that

[proper moss]

@vapid imp I agree. You should add to your post saying fusees get coloured options but not flares or alert trip mines.

[austere zinc]

I see someone suggested moving targets is there thoughts on this? Id really like to be able to practice on reusable moving targets... something on rails would be great.

[proper moss]

I think it's much needed to the firing range

The firing range isn't bad but we need some moving targets at the various ranges, in and out of cover

[glad oriole]

Still keeping all fingers, legs, and arms crossed for this.

[grave wraith]

#game-ideas message this would be a hefty nerf to weapons that don't need one.

[hot vigil]

Been thinking a little about 2-slot rifle/Pistol balance overhaul.
Basically:

• 2-slot rifles and other pistols moved to around 110 sway (nerf for 2-slot rifles and buff for pistols).
• 2-slot rifles gets reverted their recoil back to 2.0 patch or at least nerfed.
• Trueshot, Uppercut and Spark Pistol retain 128 sway maybe buff to 120'ish sway.
• Uppercut drop range 65m -> 85m.
• Trueshot drop range 80m -> 90m.
• Trueshot Dum Dum/FMJ nerfed to lose more MV as it is hilariously a non-factor atm and basically strictly better than base bullets atm.
• Bornheim drop range 80m -> 70m.

The thought behind this balance is to equalize the playingfield somewhat, reducing the ease of 2-slot rifles and make them more equal to pistols.
Rifles will still have some upsides like general better MV and damage, but pistols now feels more on equal footing vs. 2-slot rifles overall.
I decided to keep Trueshot, Uppercut and Spark Pistol at their old sway, but they have the overall benefit of some the best drop stats and MV and I feel it makes sense these big barrel weapons are little more unwieldly to aim.
I also hope this will make people consider to pick other pistols besides the Trueshot and Uppercut as those are still the most picked guns overall in my experience, for good reason, good MV and damage.
Especially the Trueshot gonna feel a nerf with an increase reduction to MV when fielding it with Dum Dum or FMJ, bc at the moment it incredibly silly with only a MV loss of 1.2%.
On top of my head I would reduce the MV from 405m/s -> 380m/s, which is the same flat rate that normal Pax gets its MV reduced when FMJ/Dum Dum is applied, which I think is fair, no change to drop range loss.
Bornheim gets a slight drop range nerf, just to be more in line with other semi-automatic weapons and also to keep it somewhat in check with the sway buffs it would get too as it could become a fierce headclick with HV bullets.

Think that is basically all and before you ask about the Dolch, erh... I try not to think too hard about the Dolch, it is own whole mess to try to balance.

[flat sandal]

not really good with the weapon stat side of things but it sounds like this irons out the slot- meta bump some 😄 perhaps the regular pax could get the special ammo Mv advantage, I miss that gun.

[hot vigil]

Yeah Pax is in a really weird spot of "Trueshot is basically just better" atm.
Hence why I like the idea that Trueshot gets more sway, so if people don't wanna deal with that, they can pick the Pax for better sway and cycle time with the tradeoff of losing some damage.
And if the Trueshot should lose the same % of MV as the Pax does to FMJ/Dum Dum, it would go down to 372m/s, which honestly is a fine trade-off imo, it would still have the edge of being a 510m/s (with HV), 100m drop range pistol then.

[flat sandal]

yup, I like the idea of starting to shave off stuff rather then keep buffing

[hot vigil]

Yeah, my ideal Hunt would be to shave a whole lot lol.
But it is needed, and every long running games eventually does that.
Also it opens up more design space.

[flat sandal]

also opend opportunity for more traits

[flat sandal]

same

[hot vigil]

Mjah, dunno feel like we are reaching the upper limit for traits.
Mostly bc of 15 trait limit, scarce traits and event traits.

And events basically be around all the time, so there will always be 2-3 traits you wanna grab.

• leaving room for 1-3 scarce traits, relentless, death cheat and shadow

[flat sandal]

yeah absolutely, and I want moooore

there just should be something to make the choice not so hard somehow

the progression is something I think should be reinvented, though I know that a lot like it as it is^^

but at least you can play somewhoat of a dark sight info goblin now

[hot vigil]

Think I would move surefoot and witness over to scarce traits, the feel very good and mandatory.
Then I would remove resilience and just make it base for all hunters.
Simply just too good to pass up, not only does it counter concertina bombs and poison it also saves you SO much healing + ofc it makes you harder to kill when getting up.

That at least frees up 1-3 trait slots

[flat sandal]

interesting idea with resilience, I never take it cause I want more fun stuff but it feels bad^^

witness would be hard for me since I always take it

on the other hand I wouldn't mind if I would have to earn it

surefoot yes

[hot vigil]

As I say: If you are not taking resilience, you are throwing for your team, it is that good.

[flat sandal]

ahh 😄 are you the guy telling people off for not having it?^^

[hot vigil]

And yeah witness is REALLY good, free info.
I honestly think that is not that good for the game health bc it encourage vulture/witness rats.

[hot vigil]

I am yeah lol

Sadly it is that good

[flat sandal]

hahaha

got to agree with witness

[hot vigil]

I think witness (and surefoot) is the strenght level of being a scarce trait and would be exciting to find in the wild :)

[flat sandal]

true

[hot vigil]

And dunno, I just don't see a way to balance resilience so the disparity of having vs. not having it would be more of a case of preference.

[flat sandal]

maybe some of the health bar ones should leave the pool, they never excite me but they might be good as a normal trait to make some builds better

[hot vigil]

Health bar ones?

[flat sandal]

dont even know the names, there is remedy and the other two

relentless

[grave wraith]

rampage, relentless

[hot vigil]

Aaah, the 3 Rs

[flat sandal]

yes, the 3 Rs^^

[hot vigil]

Dunno I think they are good as scarce trait honestly, I'd rather have shadow leap and necromancer fucked off the pool lol

[flat sandal]

yeah shadow leap stinks

[grave wraith]

i like shadow leap

[flat sandal]

😄

I don't like the clutter and the way it handles

if that would change it could be cool

[hot vigil]

I like it fine, but I don't want it in my scarce pool lol

[grave wraith]

nah, keeps it exciting

only scarce trait with an actually fun affect

the others are just good but boring

[hot vigil]

Honestly rather just put it in as a base trait

If people wanna buy it go nuts

[grave wraith]

nah it's too good for that

[hot vigil]

Eeeeeeh

I never see people use it

[flat sandal]

it's fun but clunky

[hot vigil]

Even when it is a 1 pledge purchase.

I like when I play solo bc I can just zoom across the map

[grave wraith]

that's a people problem imo. people don't know how to use it to its fullest potential, they just teleport into immolators and on top of enemies away from their team and call it trash

[flat sandal]

you even have the name lol

[grave wraith]

of course

[hot vigil]

Do think if they marked the immolators better, people would use it more lol

[flat sandal]

hey, respect if you can use it effectively

[grave wraith]

agreed. lots of people probably dont even realize it gives you a warning for immos

[hot vigil]

To be fair it is very faint

[grave wraith]

they should be a diff colour

[flat sandal]

didn't actually realise that^^

[hot vigil]

Dunno about color, but they could make it look different.

or pulsate more

[grave wraith]

i think tbf it is much easier to use effectively as a solo. and most people here play in teams

[flat sandal]

true

[hot vigil]

Eyup

[grave wraith]

i find it can still be nice in teams but harder to use

[hot vigil]

As I said I like the trait as a solo

dunno if its healthy to make solos even harder to catch

But eh

[grave wraith]

it's great in teams if your whole team has it but that's so unlikely lol

which kind of limits its use there to just rotates

and hive killing

[hot vigil]

Also thoughts on making resilience base kit and just remove it?

[grave wraith]

i wouldnt mind that

it causes a lot of frustration in randoms, people not knowing who has res when reviving them

[versed falcon]

Is Keep Weapon in Lower State fixed yet ? With this update?

[flat sandal]

that's actually a good thing about shadow and shadow leap being scare. A whole team can find it. though it is never really utilised

[grave wraith]

a whole team with shadow leap can be really strong imo

but they need a lot of enemies

so it's mostly best for travelling the map

seeing as enemies often die in fights

[flat sandal]

imagine there was a tool that can raise a few grunts from the ground and you can spam some AI as a team and then teleport around^^

[hot vigil]

Yeah I can imagine that and in general it is just night and day of having vs not having it.
Like we could buff base revive to revive you with 50hp, but that means zero 9 outta 10 times if damage is involved, you'd still die.
Guess 75-100hp as a base revive but then it feels like resilience becomes almost useless.

[grave wraith]

buffing base revive to 50 would fix the concertina and poison bomb situations

which are somewhat common [not really poison bomb xd, usually hand crossbow poison bolt tho]

[hot vigil]

Dunno think you'd still risk dying to a conca bomb and poison.

Can quickly test

[flat sandal]

never thought about it but I start really likeing the idea of making it standard to be res with some more health

[grave wraith]

might be worth testing, but usually people die around the edge of the cloud or conc because they try to escape or they accidentally took chip damage from the edge after getting shot

not super often that conc bomb kills with a direct hit and completely surrounds your body from my experience

[hot vigil]

naw but people are good at throwing them on top

Was also thinking that if we make rez base 50hp, resilience could maybe be: get a 1 min regenshot when revived.
That would still make risky rez dangerous.

Okay you can easily get out of poison, you take like, 12-13 damage when you get up

[flat sandal]

this poison is weird, they should rebrand it to acid or something

it just there atm

[hot vigil]

Okay, you can also survive a conca-bomba on top of you.
I bled myself and threw the bomb in the air before dying, so it was a whole "fresh" concabomba on top of me.

So yeah, increase base rez to 50, you'll still die to a gunshot, but traps/poison cannot lockdown completely.

[flat sandal]

with resilience?

[hot vigil]

With 50hp

[flat sandal]

ah

[glass shuttle]

i have a shotgun nerf idea within 10 meters = 1 tap
10 meters + requires a headshot at least to one tap
getting 1 tapped from narnia is not fun
THOOOOOOOOORTS?

[hot vigil]

Shotguns cannot headshot unless they are slugs.

[flat sandal]

ohhh, I see^^

[glass shuttle]

sweet jesus

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet JEEESUS

reread it

[hot vigil]

But like... all shotguns?

[glass shuttle]

yes

[hot vigil]

Eh

3-slot shotguns are fine

Romero can 1-tap up to like... 13.6m

[glass shuttle]

im gettin sniped by the crown shorty lol

consistantly too its fucked

by people jump spamming too so that makes it more tilting lol

[hot vigil]

Crown Shorty can 1-tap up until like 11.5m.
And I agree, shorties are outta control and should be nerfed, but 3-slots are honestly fine.

[lapis notch]

Or flechette

[grave wraith]

they do but the multiplier is small and not worth the loss of target mass

and i think flechette is only better for headshots because of the tight spread and the fact that it needs headshots to ohk so it relies on them more

but if someone knows that flechette has a different head multi feel free to lmk

[lapis notch]

Gunslinger Trait to bring back quick swap, which haas been removed for a reason years ago, and equipping 3 pistols and shooting with lightning speed is probably one of the goofiest ideas I have ever seen. And not in a good way goofy.

[lapis notch]

It still does headshot if you hit the head. The point is: you can headshot people with flechette. No reason to discuss this topic since the comment was only slugs can do so which is in fact not true.

[grave wraith]

seems way too specific to me. doesn't allow for any loadout variety when using it

[lapis notch]

It's a nonsens idea with the only purpose to make the game more cartoonish goofy.

We had quick swap back in the days and there is a reason why they removed it.

[flat sandal]

why? do you think 3 times the same pistol is strong? Why not find a way to make it at least viable in a fun and different way? why lightning speed?

also what does that have to do with quickswap back in the day? which problem would return?

point is just to create another low to medium range loadout that is something else.

[manic burrow]

I’ve never paid close enough attention to it, but does the friendly fire damage reduction apply to poison and concertina? I know it applies to bear traps

[hot vigil]

Oh yeah, good point, I just tested it on myself in the shotoing range

Damn

Need to do more testing then

[manic burrow]

#feedback message @tired imp Vigilant can be used to see them from 25m away, same as traps. So there is a hard counter to that. You can’t hear other lethal traps at all, and they’re much more prevalent than dark satchels

[grave wraith]

it can be placed in spots where it can be hard to see even with vigilant, e.g. clipped inside the token

and you shouldnt be forced to bring a trait anyway

[lapis notch]

You can make that suggestion in CoD. I already told that they removed quick swap for obvious reasons.

[manic burrow]

You’re not forced to bring it in. That’s my point. A lot of people don’t bring vigilant in and they just deal with traps as they see them (or hit them). I don’t see why dark satchel is really that different. It gets used maybe 1/20 the frequency of other traps, and usually whoever placed it isn’t even actually monitoring well enough to detonate it.
On most of the rare occasions that I’ve encountered a satchel, I heard it at my feet, cleared out with my team, then shot it from a safe distance.

[grave wraith]

not disagreeing with you, but can you state those reasons please

[grave wraith]

vigilant is required unless you wanna put your fate up to rng because of how many spots traps can be clipped into things and made invisible

although you can be relatively safe without it, there is always a chance that the weird bit of terrain you walk over has a trap clipped inside it

im someone who doesnt always bring vigilant first game and i just accept that fact when i dont bring it i could get screwed for deciding to move

[manic burrow]

How is this any different for the dark dynamite satchel though? That’s what the feedback I was responding to was about

[grave wraith]

it's not

except dark dynamite could be heard if they made it a bit louder

even when clipped in stuff

[hot vigil]

For me it is less that it is strong and more... dunno... it kinda circumvent the balance points of certain guns, which is, you know, slow cycle time.
So can kinda see the trait becoming three things:

• Really strong by triple stacking the same gun (most likely Uppecut).
• People running triple Dolch.
• Wost case, becoming weak and kinda a meme that will create conflict teams where one side will say the person running the trait are throwing and the other side legitimize it by saying "it is a trait in the game, so it is valid".

Neither of the three outcomes feels ideal for the game.

[flat sandal]

yeah but that depends entirely on the right balance

I don't think uppercut has enough ammo

[dreamy shadow]

Slow cycle time is kinda the point of hunt

[flat sandal]

but if it is viable for now underused guns, that would also not hurt

[hot vigil]

Also on the note of the Devil Card + Dualies.
While I can understand it is fun to run, there is a reason why dualies got their spread nerfed back in the day, because everyone and their mother was running dualies.
Basically, making it a consistent loadout will enables a lot of problematic playstyles.

[flat sandal]

sure but I think it always comes down to strength of the weapon. spammy isn't bad, it is like a shotgun that shoots one stringer pallet at a time^^

[hot vigil]

Issue is that the weapons that benefits from quickswapping are the slow cycle guns.
So it will automatically gravitate towards Uppercut and Spark pistol.

[flat sandal]

yeah the point of that post is more the principle of it

but with double guns I would also go back to the shotgun comparison

also, that is the thing. You make them viable by having to have a card every match

plus downside

it's not just quickswapping two uppercuts, only from dualies to single

if you have single, the cycle time doesnt change

[hot vigil]

That is fair, I mean we could have a system of tarot sets, that locks X numbers of consumable slots for "trait space". So like, having The Devil + Judgement (or whatever combo) will give you lesser version of the cards, or even a different buff, but only as long you hold the cards.
As soon you burn a card you loses that effect.

[manic burrow]

But you can hear it. Like he said, you have to be on top of it, but the fact that you can hear it at all is already a major distinguishing point from the rest of the traps. Plus, when the satchel was louder, there was no reason to use it because of how obvious it was

[grave wraith]

yeah we can have a middle ground

what's the point of distinguishing it if you're already standing on top of the instakilling nuke

it's too late for you atp

[flat sandal]

oh i see, was hard to grasp 😄

yeah sure, why not?

trying variations can't hurt^^ makes it a bit more dimensional

[hot vigil]

ofc it would still mean you would need to grind the cards tho hmmm

[flat sandal]

yeah no, grinding the cards is actual fun for me rn

[hot vigil]

Maybe just make a charm system (bad name bc we already have charms) where you buy a charm that give a trait effect but takes up 1-3 consumable slotss.

[flat sandal]

pretend you want devil cards for other matches and try 😄

[flat sandal]

that's a steep price, would have to be good but it would be another way of playing, sacrificing the ability to constantly go though consumables

the hanged man is useful, chariot too

[hot vigil]

Eeeh think it is fine for stronger effects like the devil card

[flat sandal]

maybe, for me the devil is more fun then strong

I just love prolonged suppresive fire with the chainies^^

and satisfying wall bangs

[manic burrow]

Because whoever placed it is very rarely actually monitoring it. If they did anything, they placed an alert next to it. Otherwise, the satchel is really only an issue if you get into a firefight around it and it gets set off as collateral

[flat sandal]

you can jsut constantly shoot while moving around a corner with an enemy around it 😄

aww maaan, no one wants to be a gunslinger^^ after this conversation I wonder if ppl understand correctly 🤷‍♂️

[heavy prism]

Thank you Crytek for giving love to Centennial Shorty

[unborn dagger]

@hot vigil I see what you're saying in your tarot card suggestion and I think there is some potential for cards where if you hold onto it you gain a passive, but it just sounds potentially broken.

[unborn sandal]

#game-ideas message

agree with avto but bomb lance?? Seriously? Bomb lance is the most quintessential hunt weapon in the game and is in no way too strong

[hot vigil]

Yeah, but also, dunno how broken it is compared to running 2x regenshot, 1x Ammo Box and 1x Recovery Shot.
All considered all these are minor effects for the trade-off of having -2 consumable space.
But 100% understand the downvotes, sometimes you just need to throw an idea out there for a vibecheck lol

[unborn dagger]

That's a fair point and I still see potential in it, we'd have to see what Crytek will do if they decide to actually implement it. Maybe even through a trait since we already have Catalyst.

It's one of these things that don't hurt trying and are easy to make. It's a thing that doesn't exist yet, a passive consumable, why not?

it could extend on the dark sight power site a bit more. Could also imagine one that auto kills grunts at 2 m and what not

that gives me a another stupid idea

What's up with all the goofy ideas? People really want to turn this game into some cartoonish fortnite shooter.

enderpearl in hunt XD

but tbf the game isn't super realistic, i dont think there's an inherent problem with goofy stuff being in the game. but yea i'm not so sure with these ones..

Not sure with "easy to make" when its Crytek haha.
But yeah, anything to shake up the rather boring consumable choices we have rn.
