[steady osprey]

What he meant wasn't what it was but the era

Alofs was patented in the '20s

Hunt is 1895-6 ish

Though, hunt is clearly alternative history, and it's well within the tech of even the 1860s

[chrome otter]

1985???

Typo I hope friend.

[steady osprey]

oh heck

god im tired

[chrome otter]

Imagine hunt but you're running around miami in fucking Hawaiian shirts with mac 10s and .44s.

[wary quarry]

Yes I understand its alternative history, I dont remember that time after the civil war when Louisiana had a massive crow wandering around or a literal bug man with knife arms, and no this wouldnt be something in the 1860s since shotgun cartridges wouldnt be common place till the mid 1870s

[keen leaf]

I'm down, where do i sign UP ?

[fossil flame]

I'm not the best with Excel but still, all Legendary weapon Skins and their corresponding Hunters

[humble ridge]

Yay!

[fossil flame]

I also included Hunters only mentioned in the Masteries or other lore because why not

[humble ridge]

My hero! )

[worthy abyss]

Is there any info/background on Stillwater Bayou? It looks like the town time forgot for over 30 years with all the cannons and trenches left to rot

[icy brook]

Noice

[noble scarab]

Most of the compounds have a short description on Hunts main website

[plucky scroll]

That would be a fun idea for #game-ideas.

[marble obsidian]

It'd going in game next update tho

[fossil crest]

Does anyone know what the symbol on the ring means that the lonely howl skin wears

[junior pecan]

Alright I've got at least one criticism to level. Why do none of the characters perform any sort of speculation whatsoever?

The basis for Hunt's Lore Appeal is speculation. The development of models to explain the supernatural phenomena, but as far as I can recall, there is not a single instance of speculation by any character whatsoever, the closest thing I can think of is the Crown girl with what she calls a Snake and Angel meddling in her torso.

And on top of this, outside of the regular conflicts we see in game, the conflicts between factions of hunters are all the result of differing speculations about the Louvent, yet we never hear any of these speculations weighed against each other.

[plucky scroll]

Are there any specific parameters behind the "magic" that the Hunters use?

[fossil crest]

Thus is what it looks like from what I can see

[wraith cove]

is their any lore to what reason carter has doing in the bayou

[noble scarab]

Mans a showman and a hunter, he’s here to win it big and look good while doing it. Plus he’s had a bit of experience working with supernatural entities before (Felis)

[wraith cove]

so hes just there for the hell of it p much

[noble scarab]

Yea pretty much

[wraith cove]

what a guy have to use him untill they ever release billy story again the drip master himself

[neat juniper]

redneck

🎊 however belong to redshirt

[neat juniper]

I don't know, what do you think i mean?

[upbeat kiln]

Does anyone here have an idea where the mass grave that created the Spider is located? Both John Victor and Dr. Reed mentions that the location where the bodies were found and buried, was right next to a barn.

[reef lava]

Not sure that the grave is actually a location in game, but maybe this could help narrow it down:

From the spider’s lore: “There was these huge cocoons, in the church for instance. Incubating more and more of the plague. “

[glad verge]

so, does The Prescient sees with magic?

[noble scarab]

They might just see dark sight 24/7

[icy brook]

Doesn’t Prescient have a scoped vet as their signature skin, if so that’s comical irony

https://youtu.be/9Stq9APzWPA

[earnest jungle]

It’s not out right states by I suspect he’s there to kill Felis.

[wraith cove]

who is felis? not very well informed on the lore

@earnest jungle

[earnest jungle]

Felis the Cat Girl killed two of his friends and Coworkers in 1887

[neat juniper]

Basically carter's there to kill a furry on the run

Good guy carter

[wraith cove]

is their a reason billy story is their aswell other then extraordinary events call for extraordinary ppl

[icy brook]

I think he’s mainly a Gangsters of New York reference, but maybe his luck as a pimp ran out and he took to hunting

Maybe he’s hunting down Lulu

[mighty lintel]

That’s why I love him

[earnest jungle]

He’s there because money from hunts can buy him all of the booze and sex his hedonistic heart could want.

[noble scarab]

Billy should be dead now, per one of the Scotfield entries

[earnest jungle]

Billy was killed because he assaulted Lulu and Sophia caught him literally with his pants down and killed him.

[minor plinth]

Is their a place to read the story entries from the last event?

[earnest jungle]

Give me a minute I have the comment from Rachata

[earnest jungle]

Rachata posted this as soon as the event dropped.

#lore-discussion message

[dense harness]

I've been wondering, is there an in game explanation on how our characters can do the necromancer perk? I'd reckon I'd probably come from Bone Doctor but I'm not sure

[cold idol]

Based

[crude gazelle]

pretty sure legendary quad derringer "storied past" belongs to lulu

[waxen stone]

HAHA a pimp hunting his hooker whos gon rogue.

[minor plinth]

Thank you, thank you!

[ripe inlet]

I think in lore there was a rumor about bone doctor reviving people from far away/dead.

[fossil flame]

fairly sure it belongs to Billy

[raven hound]

are there any good content providers or youtube channels that go over the Hunt lore?

[noble scarab]

HazmatFTW, Matterpillar, Liisn

[raven hound]

Thanks! I will check these out

[earnest jungle]

Well seeing as Lulu and Sophia killed Billy it’s Lulu’s now

[fossil flame]

ehhhh true, but i'd still say it belongs to Billy since you still can play as him

[icy brook]

https://youtu.be/2PcUzAVLZ7E

I guess Prescient Night is like some kind of Daredevil/John Wick character, I wonder how she fits into the wider lore

[noble scarab]

she seems to be related to the Night cult in some way

wonder if she's their Night Speaker, that's referenced in the revenant's story?

[cold idol]

Finally, a character I can play and pretend my aim is actually roleplayed

[rotund ferry]

Night seer seems to have a grudge against her, judging from the end of the vid

But it could be because she may be in an another cult

[noble scarab]

Her scotsfield states that she stole it from him, so they at least have a history

[noble scarab]

oh so per her lore on the steam page, she works against the night cult after having learned their secrets

[vernal stag]

If you want to go over the raw texts, almost all of them have been uploaded to the wiki as well.

[foggy portal]

Who is mr chary

Or do we still not know who he is still

[fossil flame]

Mr Chary is kind of the shadow leader of the AHA apart of Finch. He studies the occult and has a taken a special interest in the moon and performed cruel rituals to make the powers of the moon his own

At least that's what we know from Traitors Moon

[ripe inlet]

He is not shadow leader of AHA, he is leader of louisiana branch of AHA. (Most work done by Finch. He just do his rituals and some other stuff.)We do not know who is leader of AHA.

[fossil flame]

Yeah sorry, he was Finch's right hand

And the AHAs Administrator

[neat juniper]

Ok but

Is cain an actual biblical cain, or just some imposter

[rocky bloom]

this cain is able

[neat juniper]

It looks more like disable, but ok

[rocky bloom]

will disable you

[neat juniper]

Gotteem

[neat juniper]

Worth it

So that dude is like an actual able from bible times?

Whos age now is... ... A lot years something+?

[ripe inlet]

I think he was one of brothers who inherited dessela's pearl plantation. Maybe i am wrong. I do not know detailed version of story.

[noble scarab]

We think he could be Lewis Desalle, who went crazy and killed his brother

[wraith cove]

so carter did or didnt die from the bar dudes trailer

[neat juniper]

Carter didn't

Revenant however

Or, more precisely, dead hand

... or did carter

Lemme rewatch

[restive patrol]

you can see carter's boots moving when bar dude bends down to pick up the terminus, so he's alive and well

[rough ridge]

Whats the lore behind hail mary getting more event points
cause prescient and night seer have their lore reasons but hail mary? isnt she just a nun?

[regal trout]

So

Viper in Hunt is canonically They/Them?

I think that's the intention anyways

If so that's neat

[glossy falcon]

Yes

[rotund ferry]

Viper is also an apache attack helicopter which is great because it unites man with the machine

[regal trout]

One joke

[rotund ferry]

Two joke

[rotund ferry]

Red joke

[noble scarab]

If it’s like the last event they just randomly picked some people to be double points, with no lore reason

[rough ridge]

bad joke

[rotund ferry]

crab joke

https://tenor.com/view/crabs-dancing-having-fun-having-party-party-gif-15660530

[glad verge]

isn't Viper a they because they've never seen him before so they don't who who's the assassin?

[noble scarab]

pretty much

the person themselves may also only consider themselves a tool, rather than a person with a defined gender or anything like that

[earnest jungle]

Or maybe they’re non-binary

They’re not exactly unheard of in human history.

Take the Universal Public Friend.

[noble scarab]

one of the lore bits from Chary confirms that the Viper goes by they

[empty owl]

i think the viper is more of a set of people operating under the same name, the only one that we see is the one in-game

[glossy falcon]

Their pronouns are They/them. They are non-binary.

[pearl abyss]

I wonder in quickplay are the damned souls hunters who died and given a 2nd chance? And what or how are they getting a 2nd chance?

[upbeat kiln]

The hunters in quickplay have been corrupted by interacting too much with the other side. The wellspring, activated through four rifts, is the only thing that can save their soul.

[potent merlin]

🥴

[glad verge]

hunt really is going down

it's the new narrative guy

[rich turtle]

that isn’t very fitting

for the time hunt takes place in

[glossy falcon]

yes.... because nonbinary only started to exist recently.....

horrible take

[rich turtle]

bruh

how is that a horrible take

nobody in the 1800s identified as non binary

[glossy falcon]

Not going to argue the point, I'll take it on fact that you lived through the 1800s and have first hand knowledge.

[rich turtle]

i have not lived through the 1800s lmao but if you take a quick little look at historical records and lgbtq acceptance in the 1800s then it starts to make sense why it isn’t fitting

[glossy falcon]

Historically non binary gender identities existed before the 1800s...

so using they/them pronouns make perfect sense

[rich turtle]

alright whatever you say

[glossy falcon]

someones never used google

[glad verge]

and google us the most reliable source, yup

[glossy falcon]

Google is a search engine, you use it to do research. It's not a source.

[glad verge]

even in the 50s the government chemically castrated gays or sent them to jail, I can't imagine 1800s

[rich turtle]

exactly

[glad verge]

google has been know to show what they want

[glossy falcon]

if that were true, SEO wouldn't exist.

Though I'm not here to debate the use of SEO or what Google is. Historically, nonbinary existed well before the 1800s.

citing US history as to how gays/nonbinary/trans were treated in the 50s is not what happened in the 1800s.

Anyway, let's get back to chatting lore as written ^^

[rich turtle]

ok

why do all meatheads have no head

[glad verge]

women were cursed and they gave birth to only meatheads, I think, I don't know why they don't have heads, monsters I guess

[glossy ridge]

are all monsters from catholic hell?

i mean, some look like they came from hell

like the dogs and the thing thats on fire and explodes

but then you have monsters like those from the water that look like their own thing

alonside meatheads and the armored ones

[rich turtle]

the waterdevil are a mass of leeches

[fossil flame]

if a female Hunter that was injected with the serum (the one that prevents you from getting corrupted) gets pregnant the fetus will develop into a meathead, eating its host from the inside

[glossy ridge]

yes, but are this thing coming from another world? or what?

things*

[rich turtle]

how do the meatheads get their leeches tho

[glad verge]

so for women it was either die or die?

[rich turtle]

do they just develop with them

[glad verge]

that sculptor guy is one terrible mf

[rich turtle]

true

[rich turtle]

someone created them

[glossy ridge]

what do we know about the sculptor? is it human? a demon? alien?

[rich turtle]

it’s background is unknown i’m pretty sure

[fossil flame]

basically

[earnest jungle]

Tell me is your opinion on this issue informed by any actual research you’ve done on thr history of LGBT identities in the 19th Century? Or is it based on your own gut instincts and the assumption about the period based exclusively on how the period was depicted in mid 20th century film and television.

I say knowing full well the answer to that question.

That language changes but people we would now consider Trans and Non-Binary have always existed and they existed during this time period as well.

In 1886 an Ihamana (an individual asigned male at birth who takes on the social and ceremonial roles of performed by women) of the Zunni Nation named We’wha was introduced to the President of the United States as part of a peace delegation.

Albert Cashier a Civil War Veteran is largely believed to have been what we would now consider a Trans man because after assuming a male identity to fight in the war Cashier maintained that identity for the rest of his life even after his assigned gender at birth was discovered.

So we can’t pretend that people who existed outside the gender binary were unheard of in this period.

[neat juniper]

I gotta give it to you, @earnest jungle , you a history chad, great knowledge. I personally didn't know those and my comeback to this people was "so you want historical accuracy in a game with actual magic and otherworldy gods?", But now i have even more of those, 'preciate it

[golden stump]

I don't understand the whole argument when it comes to forcing gender and binary roles in video games. Especially in games around this period (1890s-1940s) considering the extreme amount of evidence showing that they've always been a construct and stated above they're many examples of the roles being fluid not only on a personal level but a societal level.

[earnest jungle]

It’s because they want to pretend they live in a world where we don’t exist.

They know intellectually queer people exist and they don’t like it. It’s why they prefer we stay in the closet, that we don’t “make it our personality,” that we don’t act queer where they or anyone else can see it.

Because if we do all that they can pretend they live in a world where we don’t exist.

Our existence doesn’t hurt them, there are only a handful of explicitly LGBT characters in the lore and only three of them are playable Hunters. The assumed default of any character is still straight and cisgender (unless they don’t conform to western standards of beauty like the prodigal daughter) so it’s not as if these characters are sucking out the oxygen for the dozens upon dozens of straight and cisgender characters.

[rotund ferry]

Yall still arguing about this?

[earnest jungle]

The only conclusion that can be drawn is they don’t like to be reminded we exists because they would rather we didn’t exists

[rotund ferry]

Talking to a transphobe is like talking to a brick wall

They don't listen

[earnest jungle]

But pushing back against them and their rhetoric is still important.

[rotund ferry]

True tho

Power to you my friend

https://tenor.com/view/chad-you-rn-gif-25268977

[golden stump]

what was even the point of the argument though im super late. I generally assume when there is talk about rights some 15 year old andrew tate listener said something stupid

[rotund ferry]

The point of the argument was that "nonbinary people didn't exist in 1895"

[earnest jungle]

They were saying that Crytek shouldn’t include non-binary characters in their game because it’s not realistic because people outside the gender binary don’t exists now and didn’t exists then

[rotund ferry]

Most immature shit I have ever seen

[glossy falcon]

Let's keep it Lore related pls ❤️ We'll move forward

[golden stump]

that's stupid def sound like a andrew tate simp. Like why does the non-inclusion affect the game and lore in anyway? like the game has eldritch beings and zombies how realistic can it be.

I do have a question though. What is the hard technology date? or is the technology of the game more fluid?

[rotund ferry]

Sorry I don't understand the last question😅

[golden stump]

In hunt the technology of the game (guns ect) have a wide range I was wondering what the setting was/is timeline wise

[rotund ferry]

They hate the fact that the game has atleast something realistic, something that their minds can't concept, that nonbinary and lgbtq people existed in the 1800s

[rotund ferry]

I think it's late 1800s to early 1900

this is a great response on reddit

[golden stump]

I really enjoy older firearms and more importantly suggesting them.

[rotund ferry]

Same, no automatic weapons is refresing

[golden stump]

I just wanted a date for the most part so I could suggest some cool firearms like the one I just did in suggestions

[rotund ferry]

Oh yeah, it fits in to the timeline imo

[glossy falcon]

1895/6 iirc

[golden stump]

epic

[rotund ferry]

I am too new to the lore unfortunately. I have no idea where to start

I have only read the meathead lore and spiders

and that's all

If someone has suggestions, I would appreciate it

[glossy falcon]

Check the pinned comments 🙂

[rotund ferry]

Ah, ty

[lethal tusk]

In every war in history women have disguised themselves as men to fight because they believed in a lot of the same things. In the field if they were found out most were left alone because the army's would not give up another good fighting person. When those women came back home, they continued the male persona because of the respect they earned in the military, and also most of the time living as a man was an easier life. Also they would take on wives. Not necessarily because they were gay, though some were, but they would marry close friends in order for them to also share in new life they have created..........There is nothing new under the sun, what was happening now, was happening then. Also, the greeks and romans were very gay...read some history!

[regal trout]

Yee imma piss people off by insisting on this lol

Also

Third gender shit has existed since the dawn of man

[glad verge]

mhm, sure

[night sage]

well I sure as hell learned a lot today from here, thanks y'all

pretty swag

[steady osprey]

1895/96

[jovial ingot]

So true

[wise wyvern]

bro its the wild west why do you have to insist on inclusion i dont understand

i dont remember the witches of salem getting offended

[jovial ingot]

Do you realize how actually stupid this is?

[rotund ferry]

1895? Oh damn maybe we can get that 1899 gun

In a future

It would be too overpowered

Tbh

[golden stump]

it would lol

[tall vigil]

Dultch 2.0

[rotund ferry]

And with WAY less recoil

Yeah it would break the game

Lmao

[golden stump]

but I mean the dolch exists so im sure they'd find a way to balance it like only 1 magazine

[wise wyvern]

what about the c93?

wasnt that a thing before

i cant remember

[rotund ferry]

Or maybe it could 3 hit enemies to make it more balanced

[golden stump]

yeah something

[wise wyvern]

this thing

i want this

[golden stump]

it shoots 9mm right

[past wyvern]

nah

it shoots a round thats basically almost the same as the dolch 96

less muzzle velocity and like, a .01mm difference in the bullet

[rotund ferry]

7.65mm so yeah 3 hit would be acceptable

[rotund ferry]

That's actually also historical accurate, would be cool to see that gun

The semi auto pistol

[wise wyvern]

i think

the avtomat

shouldnt exist lmao

[rotund ferry]

I think the one pistol this game truly needs

Is the volcanic

[wise wyvern]

ON GOD

YESSS

what if it could be used with levering

isnt it lever action lol

[rotund ferry]

Yeah this with levering

[regal trout]

It'd do less than the derringer lol

It's cartridge is so small

[thorny obsidian]

Wrong

[regal trout]

Am I? I've always heard about it

[thorny obsidian]

Had multiple calibers, 31. 41. Etc

[regal trout]

Hmm, neat

[rich turtle]

very hot revolver

[halcyon gulch]

why did zombie happen in bayou?

and what did the alligators

[halcyon gulch]

maybe u can just pretend that ur hunter is gay or what ever

it does not even really specify

and i dont know why it should have to

u can just pretend ur hunters gay or whatever

idk why it has to be so explicit the way that a video game character prefers to have sex

[versed wedge]

I thought Viper was a they because of being bonded with the snek, but I'm fine with them being non-binary

[night sage]

Wait, which ones are playable?

I remember hearing something about lulu and sofia being in a relationship but I never fact checked that

[halcyon gulch]

Wdym bonded with the snake?

[versed wedge]

His pet snek, Delara

[halcyon gulch]

What do u mean by bonded

[versed wedge]

The Snek comes back to life and bites him with a love kiss in his final form. Maybe he is like Voldemort and his snek which shares his soul. I think there would be some stuff in the unlocks that shed light on their relationship

[thorny obsidian]

I'm not sure why a lot of this was even an important argument. We all play the game to have fun. There is nothing stating the gender or identity of most in-game characters. If your redneck identifies as a woman or your prescient night is a they/them that's mostly up to the user imo. That's why most of the time that extra stuff is unsaid because it gives each individual a bit of freedom with their character of choice. Besides, as previously mentioned there were people that identified as other genders or that were gay as far back to the Greeks and likely farther. Hell, a little thing nobody ever mentions is that a lot of pirates (some were women pretending to be men) we're gay or bi. The only difference is that as society has progressed its more socially acceptable to openly be that way or identify how you want but it still existed even way before the events of hunt. At the end of the day? It doesn't matter. It's a videogame we enjoy (when we aren't getting dualie headshot 80+ m) so I don't understand why these arguments take place.

[thorny obsidian]

At the end of the day imo this comment holds value even if it goes against other people's opinions. I play hunt to have fun, meet interesting folk, and use old guns I wouldn't normally get to use freely. I have never understood why it's so important to force down who the character prefers to have sex with. It's not an rpg with romance elements so I don't see where it matters. I'm not saying or discrediting anyone of the LGBT+. I don't think a lot of the time people are trying to pretend you don't exist (I know it does happen sometimes) I think people just don't like the fact that in certain ways its kinda thrown up in their face. Which I think to a degree is understandable. It's a GAME so I've never truly understood why it's important to throw out a characters sexuality. It's not important. It's a PERSONAL choice. I believe a lot of people feel that way the same way a cashier would feel if during checkout I decided to say without a prompt: I'm actually a straight white male. It's not relevant to the situation.

I could go a lot farther but for the sake of not starting another argument I'll leave with this, it doesn't matter what we see ourselves as or what gender we are or identify as, we are HUMANS. If people focused more on that and less on everything else everyone on every side would be happier

[thorny obsidian]

Aaaand those comments are why everyone disagreed with you even though you made a valid point previously. It doesn't mean beastiality. Have you never had a dog lick you before? Or a cat purr? Its basically his pet snake not something he has sex with

NOTHING

He meant that essentially he has bonded his soul with the snake so essentially they share the same existence

Him and the snake come together to make one entity

Just like voldemort and his snake, along with the other items he split his soul into

Doesn't have anything to do with sexuality

He's a they because there are two of him in one essentially

[noble scarab]

Lulu is lesbian, Sophia may be bi, and one of the Twins is also lesbian. Those are the ones I recall off the top of my head. I’m unsure if we have any male couples.

[earnest jungle]

To my knowledge the only canonical gay man in the game is Jonas from the Water Devil lore who was in a relationship with a man named Gator who is now dead.

You know it’s really frustrating that the moderators chide us for going off topic to defend their inclusion of LGBT characters in their game, but don’t seem to care when people go on long homophobic and transphobic rants that amount to “Why can’t you just be satisfied with representation I can handily dismiss as representation.”

It’s what Bear Cakes rant ultimately amounts to: the only queer representation that should exists is representation he can dismiss off hand. Which is to say he doesn’t want us to exists in his videyagames.

These people aren’t even regular commenters in the channel they came here just to be homophobic and transphobic.

[thorny obsidian]

The fact you called my post a rant when I literally defended your pov, but not the way you wanted me too is why a lot of people go off on the lgtbq community

[indigo raptor]

Lulu lore is also pretty clear that she is not straight

[earnest jungle]

I’m sorry I misread your comment and thought you were saying that we shouldn’t need explicit representation of LGBT people because we can always just pretend a character is LGBT.

[thorny obsidian]

Nobody said anything about pretending. I said play the character how you interpret it, that's why most characters don't have their sexuality announced or set in stone. Nothing in rednecks lore says anything about it for example

[earnest jungle]

I understand that’s what you said, and I was saying I misunderstood what you were saying.

[thorny obsidian]

Like I said at the end of my post, regardless of what sexuality we are we are HUMANS

[restive patrol]

to be fair, Hunt's inclusion of their orientation is relatively subtle and well-prosed, unlike many games/media who try and be inclusive, just for the sake of being inclusive, and make most of their characters revolve around that factor

[thorny obsidian]

Exactly

I think people get too hung up on what a character identifies as or what sexuality they are. It's honestly something I think many players could care less about. Other then this convo it's not something that's even come up once in my thought process while playing this game. I noticed lulu was lesbian or possibly bi when I read her lore page on one of the guns but it was a detail that was like "neat" not something I think anyone should get hung up on

[restive patrol]

this is a good thing btw as it normalizes it, without being overtly "corporate" (if there's a better word to describe it, its lost on me rn) in using it as a tool to be seen as "inclusive"

[thorny obsidian]

I've genuinely never understood why people get that hung up on it. It's a game

[indigo raptor]

Yeah, but having characters like yourself in a game or a movie or whatever is very powerful.

[thorny obsidian]

I mean, I play a ton of female hunters. I could care less what my character is and I know many people feel the same. To each their own but it's still a bit silly to me

[indigo raptor]

It's much easier to say that when you're a man and video games have been featuring you for decades. In fact, many men STILL complain about women protags in gaming, which is quite sad to see.

But either way, what means something to you and what means something to someone else don't have to be the same. Both are valid.

[thorny obsidian]

Games have been featuring women for a long time as well

[indigo raptor]

Not at the same rate, and to say so would be disingenuous. I remember when people had a fit that GASP Samus was a woman. Or when Mass Effect 2 had a trailer that featured FemShep and people lost their minds

[thorny obsidian]

I didn't say at the same rate, but many gaming settings were dominated by males so that's why they have male representatives

[neat juniper]

L, meta slave, tryhard, everyone knows female hunters have smaller hitbox, smh

Khm, have a good day, i'm out

[night sage]

I just think some people don’t understand the idea of someone being “different” so they feel the need to complain. This happened when testament came out for guilty gear strive

[restive patrol]

I personally don't have a problem with women protags, I do have a problem when they're included just to say that "hey, we included a women" and with no, well-written characteristics or personality, with most just substituting them with the "strong woman" trope, bordering on notions of toxic masculinity . And then people go on to defend poorly written characters/protagonists just cause they are female.

[thorny obsidian]

Completely agree

[indigo raptor]

Ah yes, because all male protags are well written

[restive patrol]

not defending that either

[indigo raptor]

I would personally love it if ALL protags were well written. but until we all start griping about it exactly the same, I'm tired of that argument. It's meaningless

[restive patrol]

there are a lot of good videos on the topic if you look for them, but I doubt I'm allowed to post them here

[thorny obsidian]

Literally nobody stated that

[indigo raptor]

You stated that you dont like women protags that arent well written

[neat juniper]

When are we getting legendary hunter that is like just one manifestations of sculptor because sculptor likes to do something scary, and what can be scarier than actual human

[restive patrol]

I don't like ANY protags that aren't well written

[neat juniper]

Who then learns the humane way, and decides to chop off itself from sculptor

[indigo raptor]

But who cares if theyre not well written because there are thousands of male protags not well written. So lets just say "please write good protags" gender is meaningless in that statement

[neat juniper]

Das pretty well written i'd aay

[restive patrol]

jesus christ, since we were on the topic, I was just saying, you can't dissuade the fact that most writers who do include women protags go that route

imo

its more degrading to see that female representation is degraded to be a token inclusion

[indigo raptor]

I dont really agree that MOST women protags are bad, thats def something i do not agree with

[thorny obsidian]

Nobody said that XD

[earnest jungle]

The history of gender and gaming is complicated by a sort of gender feed back loop that began in the 80s and 90s. Game marketers believed gaming was a predominantly male hobby and so marketed games specifically to boys and men in a way that was at best ambivalent to girls and at worst hostile. In doing so they alienated women from playing because do you really want to play a game market as “will you win the girl, or play like a girl.” Thus a feed back loop was created where women didn’t play games because they were marketed to boys and the games weren’t marketed with women in mind because boys were the main demographic. Because some coked out add executive decided only boys could be geeks and nerds in the 80s.

[indigo raptor]

"most writers who do include women protags go that route" um yes, Bear, that is what that sounds like to me

[restive patrol]

would you like me to list recent media? I can elaborate

[indigo raptor]

Well written is up for interpretation, and I've definitely noticed that many men believe a female protag is "bland" when I don't agree and vice versa. So you can list them if you'd like, but that doesn't mean I will agree with your interpretations

[thorny obsidian]

But you aren't debating, your essentially saying my opinion is correct and yours is wrong

[restive patrol]

The fact that we have many standards on what constitutes a good character, such as the hero's journey, means that no, well written can be put up to a standard. Regarding what I've seen as not well-written female protags, Rey from Disney's Sequel Trilogy, Captain Marvel from the MCU, Mulan from the Live-Action Remake.

[indigo raptor]

I am saying that as a woman, my experience is just as relevant as yours and just as valid. Just because you find a protag bland doesn't mean I will agree. That is not incorrect or not, it's just an opinion.

I think Rey is equally as bland as Luke, because they were written to be basically the same. And I never saw Captain Marvel or Mulan (but how could they mess up Mulan, when they're going off something else already existing)

[restive patrol]

there is, but it was a leak so we don't know if its accurate or not, and doubt I can even link it here

[thorny obsidian]

I agree, though I meant it was more that for example war games were based on wars and wars were mostly males so that's why it's a male based representation for characters

[indigo raptor]

Pretty sure there will be after the event

[thorny obsidian]

Mulan in the live action was awfully bland. The original animated movie was well done

[restive patrol]

The Rey vs Luke point is brought up fairly often and there's a good video that shows why it's a false assumption (though whether or not it'd change your mind is up2u)

[indigo raptor]

I mean, I think Luke is bland, without Rey in the picture. But I thought all of SW7 was bad, so I truthfully never watched SW8 or 9. 7 was bad enough that I quit

[restive patrol]

fair play

[indigo raptor]

Which, to be clear, is partly because it was bland

Female protags don't save a bland media for me

[restive patrol]

not like it was a shot for shot remake of a new hope lmao

[indigo raptor]

I'm not going to watch something just because a lady is front and center LOL

[indigo raptor]

exactly lmao. i left the theatre and went "i've already seen this movie. like 20 years ago"

[thorny obsidian]

Just like I don't sit front and center just because the protag is a male XD

[indigo raptor]

Yes, but it IS different because so MANY protags are male. Look, basically my main point is that it IS different, and I would like to be in a world in which it's not. I connect very personally to some male characters as well.

I want well written protags of all genders and races and sexualities and everything.

[thorny obsidian]

I think most people would agree. The point we were making is that just tossing a female protag in doesn't make something better

[indigo raptor]

it doesn't make it better, for you, but it also doesn't make it worse. If the protag would be bland either way (because the writers arent good enough to write someone NOT bland) then who cares. it's not worse just because its a woman

And also, I wish most people agreed. But with a recent announcement from GTA 6, I would say there is still a lot of anger 😦

[thorny obsidian]

It's worse because they throw a female protag for cheap marketing and "inclusion" not because it adds value

[indigo raptor]

But who cares

It doesn't "add value" to be male

So if its bland either way, why not

just flip a coin, boom

[thorny obsidian]

I'm not gonna debate more because you aren't open to discussion. You simply are gonna say your right and I'm wrong

[indigo raptor]

???

What???

How is "it doesn't add value to be male" mean I'm just saying "I'm right and you're wrong"

[restive patrol]

she's got a point y'know, for the suits, if they can even get 10% more to go buy their product just cause a woman is slapped onto their film/game as the main protag, even if they aren't well-written, they've already won.

[thorny obsidian]

Because if I say it doesn't add value to be a woman I'm the bad guy but you saying it doesn't add value to be a man is part of the problem that people who truly fight for equality

[indigo raptor]

No, bear, I'm saying there is no value in either

that is the equality

[thorny obsidian]

I mean you were arguing otherwise until I made a point

[indigo raptor]

For well written characters, yes, more of them should be women or something other than "white guy".

But for bland characters, it doesn't matter. they're bland either way

[thorny obsidian]

Not once did you say gender doesn't have value you said being a male doesn't have value

[indigo raptor]

This is like two separate conversations we've shoved into one LOL

I literally said "flip a coin"

[thorny obsidian]

Not really it's one side losing a discussion and then grasping at straws

You saying a white guy protag has less value is offensive to me

It works both ways

[indigo raptor]

Well you're the only one offended, so I guess that's just one way not both

[brittle sundial]

at the end of the day it takes away from what people want characters anonymity and the unknown, a currant degree of characters likes and preferences just adds to the Interreg of the characters in general because of the unknown

[indigo raptor]

If you can't see that my points for well written vs bland characters are different, then you are right, there is no point to continuing

[thorny obsidian]

Because I wasn't the one saying someone because of gender or ethnicity was lesser value

If I did, many people would be on me

[indigo raptor]

If that is what you took from what I said, then this is pointless. You are purposefully trying to misunderstand me

[random lava]

only thing that was said was that being male doesn't add value over any other character. nobody mentioned lesser value 😄

[thorny obsidian]

I mean, yall are part of the same team. I don't expect anyone to have an independent opinion that disagrees with her

[brittle sundial]

i will say it was more than likely an unnecessary specification if this whole disagreement is based on equality to some extent

[azure galleon]

WoMeN BaD

[brittle sundial]

not at all what the point was

[azure galleon]

Yeah I'm

[thorny obsidian]

This is an example of the problem

[azure galleon]

Joking

[thorny obsidian]

Not very well

[brittle sundial]

doesnt mater

[thorny obsidian]

It's a distasteful joke

[azure galleon]

You're distasteful my guy

[thorny obsidian]

How so?

[azure galleon]

Women bad

[thorny obsidian]

Never said that

[brittle sundial]

if you actually read what the discussion was that wasnt the point being presented

[azure galleon]

Star war

[brittle sundial]

as a person who has severed in the military i can say with out a doubt that no one Man, women, Transgender, gay, bi, straight, any human isnt above or below anyone, every one brings something different to the table and has a skill that others dont have coming in here and saying Women bad just makes you look like a Dumb *ss

[gilded pagoda]

No one here is saying "woman bad". The argument is about double standards and equality, because they are not tied together like everyone is so blind to see

[azure galleon]

No I'm better than everyone obvs #1 comedian

[brittle sundial]

okay well bad time for joking

[restive patrol]

this is why we can't have civil, in-depth discussions

[brittle sundial]

it happens

[thorny obsidian]

Yep

[azure galleon]

I just wanted some lore info guess I was in the wrong channel

Next time I'll head over to in depth discussion channel to find out more story based info about hunt showdown

[thorny obsidian]

[median ocean]

Interesting lore ...

Mmm... Anyone know the complete lore of the viper 4#

?

I like the animation of the bite

[restive patrol]

I don't think anyone has the full event story yet

prob will be posted eventually once people finish it

[indigo raptor]

Yes, that is the plan, to my understanding! Full posted story after the event, and I think there will be full narration too 🙂

[median ocean]

Many thanks👍 👍 👍

[icy brook]

Some of you may be interested in Hunt era artifacts that can be used as analogies to the lore

Here is a twice misfired .22 shell, the case head from a paper 12 gauge shotgun shell, and a clay poker chip respectively

[rich turtle]

that’s actually cool

[icy brook]

Thank you, it’s really been a good site

[noble scarab]

How can you tell the .22 has been misfired twice? Two dents in the cartridge rim?

[icy brook]

Precisely

[noble scarab]

awesome

[median ocean]

Very very cool man many thanks💯

[neat juniper]

Ok but, let's talk about lore-wise most competent loadouts for each hunter, preferably with their respective weapons

I'll start with an example - cain + his bayonette spectre + quartermaster + silent killer + nightmare & high velocity

This covers all the distances with focus on melee

[noble scarab]

Hardin: His Lemat and a winnie marksman

[neat juniper]

Decent start, good even

Any traits you'd give him?

[noble scarab]

are we assuming lore accurate legendarys probably have more than just 3?

marksman scopesmith, fanning, maybe silent killer

[sleek bane]

Teche wraith, wayfinder and wraiths hand

[neat juniper]

Yes, let's be assuming so, albeit let's not just give it every possible perk

[night sage]

Doesn’t the bone doctor have a mosin and a dolch?

Also with quartermaster, the beast master’s loadout would be pretty solid

[upbeat kiln]

Redneck: Pitchfork.

That's it.

[icy brook]

Mountain man running an elk antler handled big knife

Oh wait

[mighty perch]

so whats this lore about?

[noble scarab]

theres a lot, which part

[mighty perch]

give me the run down

[rotund ferry]

I feel like the idea that Rey and Luke are both bland is a straw man argument. No one cares about the blandness. Luke went through character development and training. Rey was a Mary Sue who was shoehorned in as some kind of retort to the patriarchy. It's not even the same thing at all.

[regal trout]

Uhhh

I think the challenges tell you what guns a lot of legendaries prefer

Mountain man likes crossbows, billy story uses dual bornheims like a Chad

Night seer likes avto, what else...

And of course there are the weapons the legendaries come with when they do come with them

[regal trout]

I'm sure you post to /r/Saltierthancrait

"some kind of retort to the patriarchy" lmao

[rotund ferry]

luke at the end of the second movie:

anikin at the end of the second movie:

rey at the end of the second movie:

she went through no training or character arc but she's saving the entire rebellion by herself

crazy, not a mary sue shoehorned into the series at all

[regal trout]

Mediocre writing isn't some feminist conspiracy

[rotund ferry]

it can be more than one thing though, it can be a mediocre feminist conspiracy, espcially after seeing interviews of the mediocre feminist in charge of star wars at the time

cough, kathleen, cough cough, kennedy

[upbeat kiln]

That might take a while 🤣

[lone maple]

does the lore about the snakes coming out of Kevin ||(Moonknight)|| allude to all hunters having snakes come out of them

considering you get a snake for looting a hunter corpse, regardless of if they had snakes or not

[noble scarab]

Seemingly so? It may have something to do with whatever Chary has done, like ritual wise or whatever. Maybe his corruption of the moon caused Hunters to grow snakes.

[neat juniper]

So does it mean that mr.chary is cannonically a grinder of this event?

I mean he looted kevin like 10 times

That is sure some commitment to opening battlepass

[earnest jungle]

You ever notice that only female characters ever need to be shown training. Male characters can just be naturally powerful and people won’t question it, but god forbid a female character be naturally skilled or talented.

Like ya’ll have no problem believing Luke Skywalker a dirt farmer is just this naturally gifted fighter pilot because of an off-hand bit of dialogue…

[restive patrol]

there's actually 4 places in total where it establishes that Luke is a gifted fighter pilot, and not just naturally, he worked his butt off to be good

[tall spade]

Is there anywhere I can read, in chronological order, the Lore and game world up to the serpent moon event? I find the patchy library kinda hard to understand what's going on.

[restive patrol]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/comments/d6qhmp/beginners_guide_to_hunts_lore/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

don't think this has serpent's moon as no one has the full thing unlocked yet

[restive patrol]

and not only that, his only defining skill is his piloting, while the rest of the film, he is a burden on everything else, compared to rey who is good at everything without any explanation

[earnest jungle]

And they’re all lines of dialogue that amount to little more than Luke telling us he’s a good pilot

We are never shown Luke training as a pilot but instead are told he is naturally gifted

[restive patrol]

I know the age old adage of "show don't tell" but its a hell of a lot better than what we got with rey, especially given her upbringing on a isolated planet where she would not have needed some of the skillsets shown in the force awakens

[restive patrol]

they don't say he's naturally gifted

hold on

https://youtu.be/JN8Qm5o0oSY?t=1299 watch the next minute

Unlike Luke who grew up as a dirt farmer on an isolated backwater

[restive patrol]

a isolated backwater that had a constant flow of commercial traffic due to the hutts and as "a hive of scum and villany"

[earnest jungle]

A Hive his adopted family did everything they could to distance him from.

Luke has spent his entire life on the farm it’s why he wants to leave to see the broader galaxy

[restive patrol]

given how much of the film early on establishes how much Luke craved for adventure and somewhere to explore off-world, its not implausible that he snuck off around Mos Eisley

[restive patrol]

exactly

[earnest jungle]

Luke is as new to the broader world of Star Wars as the Audience is because he is a surrogate for the audience. Yet people do not complain that he is unusually skilled for a peasant

[restive patrol]

have you watched this minute yet?

[earnest jungle]

There is a lower bar for Luke than Rey. Even though their lives and backgrounds are intentionally similar

[regal trout]

The other dude posted that Rey is somehow a feminist conspiracy to strike back at the patriarchy or some dumb shit like that lol

[restive patrol]

His only skill was his piloting skills

[regal trout]

Idiots are still so mad at the sequels and it's funny

The sequels are mediocre films but having women characters isn't some strike against god lol

[earnest jungle]

The dude is a hack and I know he is you might as well as posted one of Mauler’s 10 day rants

[regal trout]

Lol Mauler

[restive patrol]

how so?

[earnest jungle]

He’s yet another in a long list of hacks who conflate “I didn’t enjoy a work of art” with “that work of art is objectively bad.”

[regal trout]

I don't know who you're talking about but

I bet he has like

20 videos on brie Larson

They all do

[restive patrol]

although I do agree that there are way too many of those, I don't consider him among them, and the fact that you just assumed so without even looking into his content is kind of iffy to me, but we'll agree to disagree

[restive patrol]

thankfully he does not

[regal trout]

I'm just tired of the manosphere

[earnest jungle]

He made an entire video on why Post Modern Art is bad. That’s like declaring Baroque art or Rococo art to be bad. People dismissing entire genre of art to be bad is the hall mark of pretentious hack art criticsm

[shy frigate]

omg i love the lore where the assassin gangbangs hunters in the bayou

[regal trout]

It'd actually be cool if the assassin dodged attacks like in that lore entry

Although it'd probably be hell to code

According to the lore all the bosses are as intelligent as humans iirc

[serene chasm]

When I was 17 years old, I entered Scupper Lake for the first time. Its where I got my first haircut (check book 1, page 8). When Monroe finished my fresh cut, I went to the Chapple to pray to the gods of the bayou (check book 3, page 2) and I got this weird tingly feeling in my legs...(check book 1, page 3). To be continued...

[potent merlin]

I don't believe for a second Monroe is a barber

[rough ridge]

is there any reason the AHA even needed the carcass gunrunner?

its america they could just get a bulk weapon supplier

[restive patrol]

I think the reason why is Philip Huff Jones pissed off most of the major arms manufacturers, which is why the AHA gets more outdated arms and needs Carcass Gunrunner to smuggle weapons that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get such as all the European arms

[rough ridge]

thats interesting, why did huff jones piss them off?

[tall spade]

Thank you! ❤️

[restive patrol]

In the Vetterli Mastery Entries, it is extrapolated that Victor Caldwell, son of the president of Caldwell Arms, Samuel Caldwell, was killed by hunters when he attempted to wipe a small posse of them with a Sparks LRR, reason unknown as he previously supplied the AHA with arms (though dubiously at best as in Chain Pistol mastery, it is noted that the shipment of weapons exploded, whether it was Victor Caldwell's meddling or not is unknown as he says that no malfunctions were detected during testing in the Caldwell Rival Entries). Its also mentioned in the Bornheim entry that Philip Huff Jones was not a friendly collaborator, as his father urges him to with hold his distrust and anger when attempting to foster alliances for arms and men. Regarding Winfield, they reached a disagreement over terms as stated in the M1873 entries, likely due to Winfield's greed or Huff's arrogance as Huff claims that "Your [Winfield's] arrogance, or perhaps the success of your company, has turned your brain."

[noble scarab]

Caldwell may or may not have also been responsible for the death of Huff

[rough ridge]

interesting, thank you

[earnest jungle]

You’ve got your wires crossed On Caldwell and Winfield.

[earnest jungle]

It’s not clear what Huff did to piss off Caldwell but either a) Caldwell was against him from the start, or b) Huff was such a caustic personality that he managed to alienate him just by talking to him.

While Winfield refused to work with Huff because the AHA was employing Felis who in the Winfield 1887 Shotgun and Winfield 1876 Repeater it is revealed killed Winfield’s adopted son Red.

[restive patrol]

wires crossed?

oh

nvm

yea, mb, I missed out on those

but before those weapons were added

that's all we had as potential leads on why

[earnest jungle]

Yeah near as we can tell Victor Caldwell is out somewhere in the swamp in an abandoned gun factory making custom ammunition

[noble scarab]

Didnt Leander Coatzee (spelling) fight or potentially kill him on the of the vetterli lore pages? bayonet i think?

[earnest jungle]

Got close but when he broke through the door Caldwell was gone and Samson the Armored rushed him.

[noble scarab]

ah yes

[quartz wren]

Wait this game has lore

[neat juniper]

It depends

[upbeat kiln]

Only the best :))

[empty owl]

also fun fact: apparently Victor killed huff's men in an act of betrayal and he went deeper into the swamps as seen in the sparks sniper mastery, so i suppose leander went there under huff's orders through lynch to get him out of the picture

[icy brook]

Also bear in mind you could buy all kinds of rifles and pistols out of Sears and Roebuck or similar catalogs, even European milsurp rifles

Like these gentlemen who have a vet from around the turn of the century

[noble scarab]

I’m sure a lot of the tier 1s probably got their guns via catalogue

The more exotic stuff or legendary stuff is probably what Trevors smuggles in

[neat juniper]

Imagine you eating your borger from Trevor's butchery and then just... Find a bullet in it that he forgot to take out

[noble scarab]

bites into a pork chop only to break my teeth on a forgotten throwing knife

[upbeat kiln]

putting the chop into pork chop

[worthy abyss]

Imagine the pork chops being made from the pigs at Cypress Huts

[regal trout]

Lynch isn't a human right

Doesn't Lynch have a big connection to snakes? Hunters are sacrificing snakes to help Chary with his whole moon takeover aren't they

[noble scarab]

Lynch isn't human, and its one of the Twins (Fin i think) that has the connection to the snakes

[regal trout]

Hmm

But as Hunters we're working for Chary and unknowingly helping him be nefarious right

[neat juniper]

It depends

Chary is not the overwhelming overlord of whole bayou, he is just one of forces that exist there

[regal trout]

Yee i'm just basing it on the leaderboard name

It seems like the snakes etc are the moon striking back and he's paying us to counter it

[neat juniper]

We don't know it yet

[wraith fable]

Can someone explain to me how dark sight fits in the lore?

[glacial schooner]

What's the lore for the Wayfarer?

[glacial schooner]

Hey what special Mosin was used by the twins?

[neat juniper]

I didn't read the last chapter of assassin yet, but he seems like a fine guy

Helping researcher to get over alcohol, teaching him to shoot things

Talking about all those science talk they had

I stan assassin

[glacial schooner]

Does Hayden Collins do anything special

[neat juniper]

It depends

What is it that you consider special

I mean, he deserved a spot in game lore, so he did something notable

But mostly he was just a witness to a lynch being.. lynch

Nothing that special doesn't seem to be there

Apart from maybe surviving seeing lynch, but unow, it is what it is

[glacial schooner]

fair

Is https://huntshowdown.fandom.com/wiki/Bad_As_They_Seem#Crossbow_(1/1,_second_half) this the full part of 'as bad as they seem'? did they add any more stuff from Hayden Collins?

also, are there any other stories in hunt that are asl ong?

[neat juniper]

Please translate asl ong

[glacial schooner]

er.. with anywhere near as many entries

[neat juniper]

Oh so it's not a slang... Well, i'd say researcher's journey can keep up with them

[glacial schooner]

I thought there were only 5 on the grunt?

[neat juniper]

But i also can't remember anything else close to their lenght

[neat juniper]

Oh nono, there's on every boss at least one of his notes

[glacial schooner]

Ohhh that's cool

[neat juniper]

Assassin is basically his storyline

[glacial schooner]

nice

That's the one where he thinks he saw someone get killed in New Orleans by the assassin right?

[neat juniper]

No, even after that

In prelast entry, didn't unlock the last one yet

In prelast entry he just straight up talks and almost befriends assassin

[glacial schooner]

wow

[neat juniper]

Which is pretty pog imo

[neat juniper]

^

[glacial schooner]

very cool

aside from "As Bad As They Seem" and Harold Black's journal entries, are there any others that I should read through? Any "longer" stories that is

[tough yoke]

game theory what if the bounty we collect is the friends we make along the way

[glacial schooner]

Love that lmao

[neat juniper]

Wait yall make friends along the way!?

[tribal frigate]

Not sure if you've checked yet but the pinned posts in this channel have quite a lot of lore entries to read through. Some are a few pages and others span over many.

[upbeat kiln]

That was beautiful ❤️

[empty owl]

there's the salters brothers journal but only william's is the long one, not sure about charlie's though

there's also the snakeskin chambers letters (nagant, nagant officer, and their variants) and carter's "local folklore" interview (winfield centennial and the terminus)

[noble scarab]

Russel's is so good, and it tells us a lot about Hardin and his Hunters

[fringe musk]

So the entity who brought the corruption to louisianna is the sculptor right?

If so could this be why the entity was able to enter our dimension?

[neat juniper]

No, it's but a lowly easter egg that appeared not so long ago with an update

There's no use for it but shits and giggles

So far at least

[fringe musk]

Ok

[random lava]

This has been there since Desalle was introduced 😄

[neat juniper]

not so long ago

[random lava]

recent update

I wouldnt call DeSalle a recent update

[neat juniper]

What u on about

[random lava]

should have just edited it into "with DeSalle"

[neat juniper]

Tsk

Ur too good to be gaslight

For now

But i'll get u

[random lava]

I'll look forward to it

[neat juniper]

👍

[nova kraken]

For lore the devs should add a hunters code

Ya know like in the movie

Or like a pirates code

For example in the library they could have another book called “hunters code”

[cedar forge]

Isn't the story that at first humans worked together to fight the monsters and then corruption kicked in and humans started betraying each other?

[nova kraken]

Idk

Most likely

If so then there’s no point of a code

But meh

[noble scarab]

That’s the thing, each sect of Hunters has their own rules and regulations. They all came together roughly under the guidance of the greater AHA, but since Huffs death it’s dissolved and all those factions are fighting

[neat juniper]

I do believe it wasn't corruption but more human nature

Some wanted to profit off bayou, some wanted to seal it up, some just wanted to up their kd

It is what it is

[loud depot]

its says in game u can find out about hunters lore in trials, but how does that work? is there something on the map i have to find and / or does it work only with legendary hunters?

[restive patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdCBa40lZuo

so we got confirmation now that the Pinkteron Detective Agency is aware of the Lousiana Case, pretty cool

[neat juniper]

So you know how there's a trials menu?
Where you can complete some task like killing few meatheads and gain stars based on how good you completed those?
Basically each and every of those trials tells you a bit of a story about a certain legendary hunter and teaches you one of more on the vague side mechanics (example being weak spots of meatheads and ability to kill immos with choke grenade)

[noble scarab]

I wonder if they’re the ones doing the investigation of pelican prison in ‘97

[regal trout]

Makes sense Pinkertons like Hardin

They're both corrupt and amoral

[noble scarab]

Hardin only massacred a few trains worth of orphans with no remorse

Mans fine

[restive patrol]

probs, also, do we know if Hawkshaw Jack is Private Eye's Mentor? as her description says that "Candice Rouille left New York with her badge, her mentor, and an unbreakable will to uncover the truth in Louisiana", with "All three taken from her"

[regal trout]

I think that's the implication

[restive patrol]

reason why I ask is Hawkshaw Jack does not really imply his death, it only says that "He came to Louisiana to put his skills to work but discovered a new kind of corruption even he cannot exploit." notably they used cannot, rather than "couldn't" which implies he survived

[regal trout]

I like the use of the word "exploit"

Shows what they're about

[neat juniper]

Let's not forget that they saved hardin

So they absolutely good guys

I mean, who of us here wouldn't go a mile for a quick hunt dollar

[restive patrol]

lets just not mention the strike breaks and the like xd

[neat juniper]

Nothing ever happened in lousiana 1890

https://tenor.com/view/no-war-in-ba-sing-se-avatar-earth-village-gif-25923233

[errant birch]

I feel like the addition of the pinkertons did not get enough hype

Because by god I laughed so hard when I saw it

[icy brook]

It is pretty cool to have a real historical faction in game, other than the US military

[restive patrol]

well, the Order of Assassins is implied in the various legendary items and Viper themselves in the Serpent's Moon event, so there's them as well

[icy brook]

Very true

[neat juniper]

[lunar sky]

Would the Pinkerton’s help Marshall brewer and Sheriff Hardin because they are of a similar faction?

[neat juniper]

I mean, they literally saved sheriff hardin in their trailer

So unow

It is what it is

[cold idol]

They work for the goverment

I think

Marshall Brewer sacrificed her position as Marshall to infiltrate AHA

[lethal holly]

Hey

Quick question yall

Whats with the whole, flower head zombies sitting infront of a painting-

[upbeat kiln]

It's Bob Ross ❤️

[lethal holly]

.

Is it-

It makes the flowers on the head looking like an afro make alot more sense.

Now in imagining a Bob Ross grunt painting little trees and there's a hunter sitting there watching like "wtf" like

Grunt Bob ross: "see that? That's a happy hanging body right there."

[flat elk]

That would be precious

[empty owl]

i believe the author of the second new navy mastery page is our new pinkerton lady considering mentions of her mentor, new york, and an ambush

oddly enough it also mentions that her mentor is dead

[restive patrol]

which makes me doubt if Hawkshaw is her mentor at all

[empty owl]

considering his mentioned reputation in new york, i think he is

[earnest jungle]

Could you post that page

[warm flower]

Hello, lads and lasses.
I'm really interested in Hunt lore, but honestly a little overwhelmed.
Has anyone put together sort of a recommendation of how to start getting into it to make things make a bit more sense?
I really like the snippets and bits we get, they're really cool, but I get thrown around wildly trying to put the big picture together if that makes sense.
Any pointers would be appreciated!

Actually, disregard me.
I should've scrolled a bit further into the pins.
I didn't realize there was so many.
But maybe my mistake will help others, so I leave the message up.

[empty owl]

the hunt lore pages are more or less disjointed via design, i would recommend reading up the bad as they seem manuscript for the rough (sometimes misleading) estimate of what’s going on behind the scene

[inner gulch]

tell me EVERYTHING about the story

[versed wedge]

The devil unleashed zombies on to Louisiana but they suck due to guns so now we kill each other because we are bored and it's too easy otherwise.

[lethal tusk]

Well sheriff hardin was one of the few that was making an impact in the bayou, and if the investigators were looking for actual proof, or any real news as to what's going on, Hardin would be the man to track down and question

[neat juniper]

Would that mean they won't help them?

[lethal tusk]

Depends on the investigators motives. Are they here to get to the bottom of things, or are they here to make money, or to put a hurt on the AHA since things have all gone to crap.

Which brings an interesting thought, that if the Pinkertons are getting involved to find out why the hunters and the AHA have let the Louisiana issue go on for so long, then maybe the government is concerned with the happenings down south. Since the witch hunter and now government agents have been dispatched from new york

Perhaps we get more official military hunters coming down, and more military issued weapons and gear. Or other government agents such as the 2 investigators

Interesting game mode idea. The Army comes and takes the forts and garrisons back, so now you have NPC Army folks shooting from inside the forts.

[versed wedge]

I don't think the army can last long enough without those Hunter Shots

[empty owl]

considering how they all bailed during the earlier stages of the infection, i agree

also, wasn't the local government at least familiar with what's happening in the bayou?

coming from the old lore, the governor was trying to cover up the infection

but then again, that's old lore

also, considering that the two pinkerton agents are now by all technicalities "missing" with hawksaw being dead(?) and the private eye having taken up hunting, losing her badge, and went deeper into the swamps. Their investigation into the AHA or its connection towards the occult practice happening beneath pelican island prison is rendered moot, head office would've ruled it out as them getting killed by bandits in the middle of the investigation

[lethal tusk]

The Army idea would be with the consideration that the government thought that the voodoo story was a bunch of local superstition and would send men down to the forts with no more gear then what they had with them. Of course they would die, but the government would treat it as acceptable casualties. and continue to send fresh recruits whenever a platoon was trained up. (this way it would be a low chance random encounter for having living npcs on the map, since people are limited haha)

I would think that the Pinkertons would send some sort of investigative team out to look for their people, unless there was signs in their past that they would just up and leave. The real life Pinkertons made note of all the members they lost and were better funded and more organized than most of the military and all of the so called police forces that were around at the time. So heres hoping that they come looking

[brisk hornet]

Hello people,
Just a quick question for my Hunt themed Tabletop RPG.
Do we know, how Hunters got their "special" powers like banishing or dark sight ?

[neat juniper]

They were injected with something of a superserum that is, i think(not sure) created from remains of corrupted beings in bayou

[crisp hare]

New lore blog 😉

#general-announcements message

[icy brook]

Nice

[ripe inlet]

Lynch serum is made from human possessed by devil. Og serum is made from retired/dead hunters blood etc. I am not sure about og serum

[neat juniper]

Great, now we are both unsure

[noble scarab]

Pre-Lynch serum is made from herbs and hearts and blood. It might not grant access to Dark Sight, we’re unsure

But it keeps the corruption away and presumably still grants Hunters some of their minor supernatural abilities

[empty owl]

oooh a new lore blog, can’t wait for kevin to make love with the moon again

heck, or even a snake at this point

[drowsy canopy]

All serum seems to at some point came from 'demon blood'. My Headcanon says Hunters were at one point long ago were able to summon otherworldly creatures or hunted otherworld creatures to make the first serums. From theere old hunters would transfer the serum by blood down to their successors. Lynch by rekindling old hunter arts of summoning allowed for the AHA to once again make fresh serum its full potency that hadn't been diluted by countless generations being passed down.

[drowsy canopy]

My Speculation is that the power of the serum grows as the hunter hunts. They quite literally absorb power from the corrupted creatures and other hunters they kill. It would be a nice convergence of game mechanic and lore. In this way leveling a hunter ripens them so their blood can be rich enough to pass down the powers to a new hunter.

[lethal tusk]

MAybe thats why the moon is green right now, all the snake/moon love

[tall spade]

Why do the bullets have H's on their primers?

[noble scarab]

usually just means a makers mark

[restive patrol]

only some, those are rimfire .44 cartridges, and the H is there as a homage to the creator of the cartridge, William Tyler Henry, the same one mentioned in the winfield m1873 entry

[modest heart]

Lynch is confirmed to be an otherworldly being who took on the form of a Hunter to pursue her quest for revenge against the Sculptor though. She wasn't, and had never been, human.

[drowsy canopy]

I am aware, it doesn't mean she didn't use similar arts to recreate the old serum or depending on how long she has been around she could have been a part of earlier creations of the serum too.

[sleek merlin]

Who is lynch?

[neat juniper]

Lynch is a super puper duper meta hunter, a legendary being even, something of a sculptor, but hates said sculptor and took human form to beat it up

[modest heart]

If I remember correctly she also gave the AHA the serum that makes hunters special

[regal trout]

I'm just curious about the snakes since aren't snakes something associated with Lynch

[upbeat kiln]

Like @noble scarab said, one of the Twins in the Bad As They Seem story were associated with a snake

[noble scarab]

One of them was eaten by the Teche Snake

At least per BATS

[sinful warren]

So

Event story is TBC

[sleek merlin]

So Lynchs Human Form is a women?

[lunar sky]

Are the songs important to the lore in any way

?

The port sulphur band songs of course*

[upbeat kiln]

Yes! :))

[upbeat kiln]

And yes! :))

[lunar sky]

Ok nice, thanks I appreciate you

[chrome otter]

By generations I'm sure you don't mean children right? Because having a kid while hitting the hunter juice has been proven to be a super bad extra terrible idea. Like the death of a dozen people and the mother kind've bad.

[fair pecan]

Isnt that how meatheads are created?

[chrome otter]

One of the avenues it seems. Mrs. Kinney's child was the first, and they apparently come out the size of a 6-7 year old kid or rather... claw their way out.

[fair pecan]

Well shi

[sleek merlin]

And what exact role has Mr. Chary ? It seems to me, that he is a really powerful character. With the serpent moon rituals and so on…

[frank bobcat]

Chary is not on the sculptors level but he's clearly on some occult stuff.

[drowsy canopy]

no as in like new initiates, Hunters probably can't live forever after all so they need to pass down the art of the Hunt to new generations... literally just old hunters giving their blood so new ones can be inducted

more metaphorical term for generations then it literal

[dim oxide]

What is the researcher all about? besides the fact that he made the dictionary of monsters 🤨

[drowsy canopy]

there is two researchers

Harold Black the legendary hunter, who was sort of hobbyist scientist and writer who used all those various skills he had to try and make some sense of all the monsters, whether anatomical or scientific or least try to figure out some details on how in the infection worked without muddying the waters with Occultism

There is a second researcher is the one compiling all the various diaries, newpaper clippings and first hand accounts years down the road after the end of the incident perhaps a historian from outside the AHA that is trying to discover what happened in Louisiana years if not decades later, for purposes that are not clear, but seemingly very important. EDIT: Actually he was AHA, though its not 100% clear how long its been since the end of the outbreak of if all the notes are from the same researcher.

[dim oxide]

That still confuses me, so is the infection still there or just the infected?

[drowsy canopy]

the infection appears gone at this point, how this happened in unknown

only that the researcher is part of the wider AHA circle and that most of the AHA is shattered by how poorly the infection was handled

[wraith cove]

would mr chary be able to take on lynch or nah

[noble scarab]

I think he’d be able to give her a run for her money, but her being a totally otherworldly entity gives her the edge

[fair pecan]

Can he beat Goku tho?

[lethal holly]

Simping for hazmat can't stop

[lethal holly]

Probably. Seeing as lynch is a entity not of this world and mr.chary a dude who sacrificed alotta people to be powerful

[lunar sky]

Who is the strongest hunter canonically

?

I’m assuming it’s lynch because extra strong entity or whatever but I could be wrong

[gentle geyser]

@frank bobcat is the strongest hunter

i have no idea who that guy is i pinged first @

[lunar sky]

Lol

[frank bobcat]

Redneck, proven by sculptor immunity

[lunar sky]

Oh yeah I forgor they found him in the bayou vibin in a house with a shotty

[frank bobcat]

Aha were all like 'nooo you cannot resist the sculptors influence without out special injection'

And redneck was like Chad face: no

[lunar sky]

It wasn’t perfect now it is

[lunar sky]

I had a spelling mistake in the first one I had to re edit it lmao

[frank bobcat]

I meant to write without our, but it's better this way

[floral slate]

So are we the bad guys in this event since we are working for Chery or is it for the greater good type of situation

[fair pecan]

Is that your post on reddit? I thought I recognized that meme

[upbeat kiln]

I just saw that too lol

good night yeehaws

[lunar sky]

It’s not really mine I gotta give credit to hazmat for the subtitles all I did was put it onto a meme

[upbeat kiln]

I said that??? lol don't remember that at all

[lunar sky]

Wait Helios lmao I confused your names🤣

Love the lore content tho

[lunar sky]

I’m thinking that one of the red necks ancestors used to fight the darkness and gained immunity to the sculptors influence so then it passed on through the generations or something idk that’s the only way I see the redneck being immune

[lethal holly]

Or maybe He's stubborn enough to resist it

Wait

Didn't it say the sculptors presence was there before anyone knew?

So like. What if he just was immune

[lunar sky]

Yeah he could just be a one off

[visual finch]

You know what they say about some kind of insects? That they are not fit for flying, and yet they do because they don't know that they should not be able. Same goes for the Redneck

[icy brook]

Awesome lore rundown

[fresh steeple]

I didn’t know you were in this discord I watch ur vids all the time man keep up the good work 👍🏻

[potent merlin]

I think it's more built on greed. Very very few hunters are there for the greater good, most seem to be there to earn money pretty much, legendary hunter or not.

[floral slate]

Thanks for the response
This all just makes me wonder what Cherys endgame is and what Kevin linus is doing for the moon

This is where I steal all my content from 😄

Does any legendary hunter die in cannon or do they just go missing

[final frigate]

the guy that is dead

the zombie guy

he also had an event version of him being alive

@lunar sky

[lunar sky]

The bad hand was his alive form right?

[final frigate]

iirc yes

[final frigate]

best one is redshirt. my fav hunter. fun to play with him and sabre

[fair pecan]

Black coat is dead

The twins that Lynch raised killed him

It was in one of Hazmat's vids about Lynch iirc

[noble scarab]

Black Coat and Billy are both dead

[earnest jungle]

Yeah there are some canonically dead Legendary Hunters and some potentially dead legendary Hunters:

• Billy Story: Confirmed Dead - throat slit by Sophia while assaulting Lulu

• Black Coat: Confirmed Dead - killed by his daughters The Twins Jos and Fin

•The Reverend: Confirmed Dead - lost himself to the corruption in DeSalle.

Ambiguously Dead:

The Archaeologists: Presumed dead at by the hands of The Prodigal Daughter

[noble scarab]

Where’d you find the bit about the Reverend? Or is that from the dark sight trailer?

[earnest jungle]

Dark Sight Trailer, and the Lyrics of Light the Shadow.

[noble scarab]

I think the Berthier lore mentions him still being around

[earnest jungle]

“Oh Reverend Reverend, that Look in your eyes, call down the devil let the bullets fly”

[noble scarab]

The bit from the lore page is ambiguous however

[earnest jungle]

He says he consulted a preist but it doesn’t mention their name. What’s more he consulted the priest in July not autumn when the Reverend Ishim Gird would have died

[neat juniper]

Well i mean, reverend IS a title, and reverend ishim gird, who we can play as, is not the same reverend who turned into immo for example.
So when inlore doesn't mention reverend by name or at least look like in dark sight trailer, we can't be sure it is what it is

[night sage]

wait so does this mean that sofia and lulu are in a relationship? I remember hearing someone talk about it (sorry if im asking you a second time I wouldnt be surprised lul)

[noble scarab]

The line I’m thinking of might be in the berth bayonet lore, it’s when he’s killed a man and states that it’s not the “Sheriff, or Preacher”

[noble scarab]

They’re Hunting partners, with Lulu having a thing for Sophia, but we don’t know if she has a thing back, or if she is even lesbian or Bi

[earnest jungle]

Seeing as the Dark Sight Trailer shows Gird transforming into an immolator in First Testimonial Church I feel confident that Gird is dead.

[night sage]

aaaaaaaaaaaah I see ok

good for them, good for them

[earnest jungle]

The camera is objective in a way that text is not. This is true even for animation.

We don’t read about Gird becoming an immolator we see him become an immolator in front of us

And the Dark Sight Trailer further shows the death of the Black Coat

In exactly the way it was described in BATS

[noble scarab]

We also see him using Hardin’s Lemat as well as a few other scenes that we don’t have context for, so I feel that the trailer may not always show lore accurate events

[noble scarab]

For example, the ending sequence with the red lighting, as well as Hardin killing the Beast Master guy

Plus the contradiction with the Bone Doc and the Revenant

[earnest jungle]

It’s not really a contradiction because all it shows is the Bone Doctor Finding the Revenant in a cemetery that does not mean the Bone Doctor Resurrected him.

Furthermore the Reverend’s corruption is juxtaposed with the canonical Deaths of both the Black Coat and the Revenant

And the scene of the Reverend’s death is different from Hardin’s “death” and “resurrection.

In the scene where the two rookie hunters are running the lighting is an unnatural green with flashes of red. The lighting is clearly unnatural which signals to the audience that what is happening here is not necessarily 1 to 1 with reality

[noble scarab]

Which still leads me to think that anything in that trailer that isn’t backed up specifically by outside lore may not have taken place

Or may have taken place in a different manner

[earnest jungle]

Compare and contrast these scenes

To these scenes

The former scenes represent something concrete and the later scenes represent something abstract

I’m flexing my film analysis with this but

The Dark Sight Trailer uses lighting to portray two worlds the “real world” and the “other world” that is visible in the dark sight.

What happens in the other world is not a physical representation of what is happening but instead an emotional representation.

[noble scarab]

Very fair

[craggy comet]

It's not Ishim who turned into the immolator, it's another priest called Jeremy. They just used the reverend's skin to illustrate. Same thing happens with the Plague Doctor on Scrapbeaks trailler. And Hardin did not die or kill any other legendary hunter in the trailer.

[earnest jungle]

If that’s true it’s a shame because Ishim Gird becoming an immolator would be a pretty fitting end to his story

[upbeat kiln]

Is this your own interpretation, or are you speaking on behalf of Crytek? :))

[indigo raptor]

Aleas is not an employee, so his own interpretation 🙂

[craggy comet]

I can't speak on behalf of Crytek

[upbeat kiln]

@indigo raptor Thank you! :))

[indigo raptor]

His facts check out tho

[upbeat kiln]

haha alright! Double thank you! Clears up a lot of stuff. I was of the same conviction as @earnest jungle about the Reverend

that's a shame tbh

(and confusing)

[craggy comet]

and this guy, being shot, it's just a regular T2

I mean, the one shot in what appears to be Pitching Crematory

and looks like Hardin's skin

[upbeat kiln]

Maybe that would be a great thing to keep in mind, and avoid going forward, in terms of trailers and their creation. We, as a community, are very mindful of details and love looking for them, their consequences and their impact on the world of Hunt, so when we are presented with The Reverend turning into an Immolator, we are of course going to take that as gospel (pun intended). I know it's an issue of reusing assets, but it has clearly caused some confusion here.

Anyway, just my two cents :)) ❤️

[polar cosmos]

Actually alot but it has never been a popular idea.

Most people that were nongender conforming or even different gender had different reasons given than today but it's a concept as old as Rome.

[lunar sky]

When the aha found out the sculptor exist and that it wanted to spread corruption

[polar cosmos]

I mean we already have a good example of the Gender thing in hunt showdown with Marshal Brewer

It was pretty common for women to dress and pass as males cause woman's rights were so shitty. I think it's great to have Lore for it.

[noble scarab]

Rexli already did a deep dive into it awhile back when the event first started and we had a wave of transphobes and other associated degeneracy

[polar cosmos]

Tough cookies for them?

[noble scarab]

Very much so

[night sage]

I mean what else do you expect from gamers?

[dim oxide]

[lunar sky]

So moon gave the antosha chain pistol to Kevin, so it’s saying the moon is a sentient being?

I wouldn’t be surprised tbh with how there’s zombies, the sculptor

Mr share bear

[whole sinew]

All I know is that zombies are possessed or something lol

I actually no clue what I'm talking about I'm just tryna find something to do lol

[lunar sky]

the zombies are made by the entity called the sculptor for evil purposes

[whole sinew]

:0

Ohh isn't it an interdimensional being or something?

[noble scarab]

the moon is now alive and has canonically fucked before

chary is also somehow hurting it

this is monumental news

[noble scarab]

We just report what we see

[neat juniper]

We here only speak truth

And i mean. Wasn't that an insight?

[polar cosmos]

Umm yeah. Women had barely any rights, you couldn't own land, most jobs wasn't allowed. MANY Women disguised as men because of this so they could have a life

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/modern-day-female-civil-war-re-enactors-honor-women-who-fought-men-north-and-south-180951249/

in fact counting the civil war alone they have documents of nearly 400 discovered women soldiers dressing as men, this is just uncovered.

Imagine the ones they don't have records for as well

As I orginally stated It's just like one of our current hunters Marshal Brewer.~

My brother in Christ; 1, this isn’t the place to complain about updates, 2, there’s no need for the misogyny, please go touch as much grass as you can find, and 3, more people want diversity and inclusion in games (especially when it’s historically accurate)

why dont we just have men dressed as women

think of the american gold rush

it didnt matter if you were black, asian, or whatever the hell else was there... as long as you made that money

in this case, whether theyre black or not isnt a factor, theyre valuable individuals in hunt

Someone else more resembles a child here

[neat juniper]

Meathead for example?

[fair pecan]

Mindless, noisy, and leech-like. Yeah meatheads are 100% children

[neat juniper]

I meant more like lorewise, but you also do have a great point

[fair pecan]

[neat juniper]

[indigo raptor]

I mean, the meatheads ARE children, right? Their lore is..... OOF. burn it all down

[vivid dagger]

Meatheads have got some really freaky lore, and the fact that the document on them says that the female who is birthing/being consumed by the leeches is laughing, at least in one case, is super terrifying.

And yeah, they're all technically children, and they're huge for how quickly they're stomping around the bayou.

I'm still working on unlocking the last section of the meathead lore page, gotta keep bringing my bow and axe loadout I'm like 20 melee meathead kills away

[ionic ginkgo]

question if the redshirt was dared by his friends to go into the bayou then why did the spirited pay him money? was he friends the spirited

also is carter dead?

[noble scarab]

probably was a frequent customer and was at least semi-friends. also carter is not dead (yet)

[ionic ginkgo]

ah ok

[restive patrol]

So anyone here with more knowledge in Celtic mythology and culture, say for certain that the upcoming legendary is Celtic? As the only thing I can definitely say could be related to that culture, is the mask seemingly representing Cerunnos, the god of nature. Edit: Reason I ask is some have said that she is, and I just wanted to be definitive

[noble scarab]

She seems related to the whole nature/green woman/man of the woods concept. I don’t see anything that’s overtly Celtic tho

[cobalt root]

Maybe stupid question, is there some kind of book or script or something with the complete lore? I like the story and setting of the game and the characters. But I suck at the game and don't have much time to practice.

[frank fossil]

only thing in game similar to that is the library and you can read through the lore of the monsters as well as each of the guns once they have been unlocked through either use or killing that monster

[noble scarab]

wiki has some of it, the Hunt website has some, there's a pdf of most of the weapon entries pinned in this chat as well

[cobalt root]

thank you both!

[ripe ravine]

So is all of Louisiana completely overrun or are there walled off cities Land of the Dead style?

Would be cool if there was some kind of social hub with NPCs where you can hang out with other hunters and flaunt your legendary skins

[noble scarab]

its just the bayou thats overwhelmed

[strange gazelle]

Anyone know why all the Hunters are fighting each other for the bounties and not just working together?

[upbeat kiln]

Because why would I want 50% of a bounty, when I can just kill you and get a 100%? 😄

[strange gazelle]

Is that really the reason? Seems like a silly thing to do when death and destruction is spreading. If everyone dies, where would you spend all the moneys?
