#

Is there a reason for the gender separation between grunts and hives (hives primarily female and grunts primarily male)?

slim hatch Aug 7, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

hisses curling up and flailing tentacles I hate you!

minor peak Aug 7, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

Grunts will have female variants soon.

#

Idk about hives.

#

For now they are females.

#

There might be males.

#

But for now, to my speculation, females are hives because its like they birth the insects like they birth babies..

#

Reproduction stuff, you know.

#

Because hives unleash an unlimited number of insects after the targets.

#

Those insects seem to die after some time pursuing.

mellow jetty Aug 7, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

@sinful trout If I'm not wrong, there will be female Grunts. I think they did say that on livestream.

#

And there CAN be male hives, so it is not limited to the females. @minor peak @sinful trout

#

There you go.

karmic crescent Aug 7, 2018, 5:50 PM

#

Queen parasite I tell you ¡!!!!!!!

sinful trout Aug 7, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

FUUUCK

#

All of our speculation down the drain

#

Why are the majority of hives we've seen so far females? Just a development issue not having the models yet or is there another reason @mellow jetty

mellow jetty Aug 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

I would say it is a development thing same as with female grunts - personal opinion.

Edit: What I said its correct and confirmed by the voices. Also aesthetic issue.

sinful trout Aug 7, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

So there's no special correlation between women and hives.

slim hatch Aug 7, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

You must differentiate between gameplay/dev decision/aspect and lore like all ammo has the same text on it just in different colours while in realty there are different types of bullets

#

Same way as f hunters aren’t in the game not because they don’t exist lore proves they do but due to dev they aren’t yet

sinful trout Aug 7, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

Yeah I was just wondering if there is a correlation because if there is that would mean the virus actually affects people differently

#

Biologically I mean

#

@slim hatch what's your take on the whole Dr Winkler and father Nico theory?

slim hatch Aug 7, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

I still suspect Dr.Reed is the spider

#

But Winkler Nico theory is also plausible

mellow jetty Aug 7, 2018, 8:23 PM

#

I thought we agreed that Spider is of multiple people

sinful trout Aug 7, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

Yeah that's why I theorized that it's Winkler and nico

#

Because it's the perfect amount of material and it says on the church card "I was too late, there was no trace left of Winkler or nico

#

It could be that the hunter got there too late to stop the transformation and had to kill the spider

slim hatch Aug 8, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

@mellow jetty Yes but still

#

You’re adding fluff

#

That is unnecessary

#

Sure it probably is multiple people but it’s the chassis that matterra

#

If the base is Dr.Reed then even if it’s multiple people fused to Dr.Reed it’s Dr.Reed

#

Same as DOS you can have multiple OS’es on it but the base is DOS

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 10:22 AM

#

@slim hatch but didn't Reed eat his own leg? And I thought everyone around him was dead by the end of it. He wouldn't have anyone else to fuse with

slim hatch Aug 8, 2018, 10:22 AM

#

Thing is

#

Seems like sculptor doesn't need a living subject

mellow jetty Aug 8, 2018, 12:00 PM

#

@slim hatch Okay, fair enough. I hear you.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

@mellow jetty does the subject need to be alive for the transformation to work?

#

@slim hatch that would be fucking terrifying if it didn't. He could dig up a graveyard and summon like 50 spiders

#

" The creatures battered themselves against the thinly paneled walls, raking bloody fingernails across the boards as they felt their way through the darkness and toward their next meal." - from Dr Reed's journal.
Does this imply the Zed's are blind?

fathom badge Aug 8, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

could imply that they still need their eyes

#

as it is in 'darkness'

#

and ive seen in many cases when i go through heavy grass or cornfields the zombies lose my trail almost instantly

Shall we talk about this now?

#

The tentacles.

cold badger Aug 8, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

i mean we talked about it a lot after it was announced at e3

#

i dont think theres been any new info

slim hatch Aug 8, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

It's the water-devil we have no lore on it

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

@minor peak I get what you mean. How the hell are tenticles formed from a human being. Right?

#

Enlarged tendons?

#

@mellow jetty does the sculptor have the ability to make beings with non human materials?

burnt storm Aug 8, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

From a human being?

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

I have no clue

#

📎 Screenshot_20180808-154328.png

#

Why is there a tree on his back

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

What if it is not even from human being but mutant water fish?

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

I was thinking something along those lines. Hence the question to voices man. But seriously

#

Why the wooden tree on the butchers back?

burnt storm Aug 8, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

I doubt there are any humans involved in water devil

#

And there's a tree because it looks cool 😉

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

Yeah, I doubt water devil is from an infected human.

#

Tree..

#

Doesnt it look like a bit religious wooden cross?

#

Maybe that's Father?? 😱

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

(that's what they're called, trees)

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

Maybe that's Father, wtf?

#

Forgot name.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

? What do you mean

#

Father?

#

What?

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

There is a card.

#

That says Dr. Winkler or something.

#

And Father.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

Father nico

#

As in a proest

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

Yes, Father Nico!

#

Maybe he got infected and became the Butcher, hence the religious cross?

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

Wait. So you're saying Winkler is the sculptor?

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

Isnt Sculptor the demons who infected people?

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

Can you find a cross stump anywhere in chapel?

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Definitely not.

#

Perhaps in Healing?

#

There are 3 churches.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

The one that's on fire

#

That's Madonna right?

#

Because that's the picture in the card

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Well, yes, it's burnt.

#

yes, that's Madonna.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Next time you're in game, look for a stump where a cross could have been

#

I'll do the same. Check healing too

#

I just think it's more plausible that they became the spider.

#

And the sculptor is (as I believe) a demon that creates the big spoopy monsters

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

spooky*

#

The one who unleashed infection as well.

sinful trout Aug 8, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

No

#

Spoopy

#

I spelled it right

#

Are we sure it's a demon though?

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It's more demon infestation.

elfin ridge Aug 8, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

Looks more like a crucifix than a tree on the Butcher's back IMO.

mellow jetty Aug 8, 2018, 7:22 PM

#

@sinful trout Can't answer that.

mellow jetty Aug 8, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

@sinful trout The Hunt story in general... No text you see is written from an objective point of view. Each piece of text is written by a certain character. Each probably from a different background, using their own terminology – for lack of a better term they use certain words. Like for example – Arab says djinn / shape / sculptor.

Furthermore, this makes some text unreliable. People can remember things wrong. While other can lie.
In fact, each session of Hunt gameplay is conceptual. There is only one spider, only one butcher. They were killed only once. But each Hunt match is somebody telling that story differently.

As to what really happened in Louisiana in 1895, that is the big puzzle.

@minor peak I saw something about WENDIGO in here because I was away for a longer time could you please in short tell me what do we know about that?

minor peak Aug 8, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Nothing, someone asked Wendigo or perhaps made a suggestion about it in lore discussion rather than on suggestions channel.

#

If I recall.

mellow jetty Aug 8, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I see, thanks.

cold badger Aug 9, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

@sinful trout its what he mounts the head on

sinful trout Aug 9, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

That would make sense @cold badger but only if it didnt have those little side branches

#

@mellow jetty why? You concerned about what we might have unnearthed? Getting worried cuz were on to something? WINDIGO BOSS CONFIRMED

cold badger Aug 9, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

Well theres no doubt that the head is mounted on the cross, could be a totem of some sort

#

Possibly what gives it magical fire powers?

#

Cuz other than the totem hes pretty much just a meathead

river aurora Aug 9, 2018, 5:15 AM

#

Instead of a Wendigo, how about somethign a little more based with Louisiana Folklore, a Rougarou would be far more interesting seeing as everyone is jumping on the Wendigo bandwagon nowadays.

That and y'know, werewolves man.

#feedback-discussion this is lore channel, not suggestions, not head-canon not fan-fic

@sinful trout No I was doing some research on my own about it. That's all.

limber patrol Aug 9, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

Wendigo in Louisiana ? 🤔 Nah. It's not that it's impossible but it wouldn't feel ... 'right' ... and werewolves ... Mhh that would feel too much straight unnatural. I like that even with all the horror that's going on here we're still one foot in sort of voodoo black magic and something something realistic. Plus Wendigo are supposed to be "the spirits of lonely places" ? They're supposed to live deep in the wood. I get the cannibalistic part but the place is a bit too crowded ... 😄 Unless ... There is a hidden cave somewhere ...

ancient sandal Aug 9, 2018, 8:39 AM

@cold badger It's probably the rift or energy vortex powering the said rift since sure vortex coems from above but the monster is squished into the ground rather than thrown into the sky.

Looking a whole lot like a grunt is fusing with a tree and turning into an armored. Hard to see with the yellow color of the light, but the flakes around it on the tree look like the armor of the armored zombies

Easter egg groot 😛

blazing lava Aug 11, 2018, 1:24 PM

#

Is there an explanation in the lore why hunters are so hostile towards other hunters? Mere rivalry or money is a bit far fetched for kill-on-sight behavior.

#

Obviously it's a good thing they're hostile, otherwise we wouldn't have a game 😄

#

But just wondering.

sinful trout Aug 11, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

It's got something to do with hunters going nuts after touching the true deck and using ds too much, mix that with the need for the bounty

#

@slim hatch just hired someone to do it

real blade Aug 11, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

from the opening to the film 'a few dollars more' , this is why hunters kill each other.

📎 For_a_Few_Dollars_More_3.png

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

This has nothing to do with this.

#

"Some may open fire immediately upon sight, some may retreat and avoid any form of confrontations and some may even ask for truce, team up and cooperate each other. It is implied through the lore text that they are not required to kill each other."

True story.

river rain Aug 11, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Just to put it out there... All of you who feel that hunters only kill each other on sight... Have you ever thought to call out and ask for truce instead of shoot the guys? There is nothing stopping you. There is nothing in lore that says you must kill all the other hunters you meat. Try it some time if you feel like it.

viscid shale Aug 11, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

I mean, if you dont wanna die dont play a pvp game

#

That is simple

#

It is a pvpve, people will shoot on sight

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

@mellow jetty Let's talk about the animals.

#

Why dont they react to monsters?

viscid shale Aug 11, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Not everyone is lore based. People just wanna play this game like its "meant" to be played

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

They react to approaching Hunters only but to monsters... They just dont.

mellow jetty Aug 11, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Solid questions @minor peak

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Do they hallunicate?

#

Like, they are already ifnected.

mellow jetty Aug 11, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

Are they infected ?

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

And are at some infection stage -.. idk?

#

Dogs seem to be starving.

#

Horses are whining in pain.

mellow jetty Aug 11, 2018, 7:52 PM

Dogs are in ludicrous mode

viscid shale Aug 11, 2018, 7:52 PM

what i dont get is a horse who didnt react to explosion right beside it but me going close

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

And that's all ONLY when a hunter is approaching.

#

But to monsters... They act as if they dont see them.

#

I always had the suspicion that they are uh..

#

Infected.

mellow jetty Aug 11, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

drops books

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

But cannot be transformed.

#

And are at some infection stage.

#

Where they begin to hallunicate.

#

Unable to see monsters but able to see alive.. Humans.

#

I need to find a proper story about it in my animals guide.

viscid shale Aug 11, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

or the other way around, they see the zombies as humans and humans as the zombies

#

gasp

minor peak Aug 11, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

Dogs dont attack you if you enter their cage though. - Could be gameplay reasons.

#

But aside of that..

#

Why they react to us but not monsters?

viscid shale Aug 11, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

I just think they "kind of" recognize the people from before so they dont really see any danger

why would you ask this in the lore channel

rotund ferry Aug 12, 2018, 9:43 AM

#

Does anyone know what the headgear/cages some of the zombies wear are called? Like this
https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/010/062/196/large/seid-tursic-iron-mask-runner.jpg

#

Closest I can find is a thing called a "scold's bridle", but it looks like this is intended to keep them from biting or yelling/raving, which seems like a lot of the grunts may've been interned as insane asylum patients in the earlier stages of plague.

#

But I dunno if this is the exact same device.

minor peak Aug 12, 2018, 10:08 AM

#

Headlock or somehting.

#

Suggested by doctors to limit the infection but proved to be a fail.

#

They werent asylum residents/

#

But resident who were under care by doctors.

#

They believe the headlock would do some job.

#

But that proved a fail.

rotund ferry Aug 12, 2018, 10:20 AM

#

Woah, that's basically it, and apparently its formal name is literally just "head cage".
http://historiccamdencounty.com/ccnews151_02_big.jpg

#

It was believed in the late 1800s keeping the head upright and perpendicular slowed the flow of disease to the brain so doctors could treat any kind of infection before it took the person's mind and killed them/rendered them insane, and was also used for mental patients to stop them from biting or hitting their heads on walls.

#

So yeah, it seems local doctors thought people with the plague would be saved with headcages.

minor peak Aug 12, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

Possibly.

#

But it eventually proved to be a fail as they became aggressive.

rotund ferry Aug 12, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

Yep.

minor peak Aug 12, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

And the infection spreaded even further.

rotund ferry Aug 12, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

Really interesting stuff. And it looks like some zombies eventually broke/bit out of them anyway.

#

Speaking of which, is it ever mentioned anywhere that the Hunters are "immune" to the mundane side of the plague?

#

I know one of the first doctor's letters mentions biting is the way it's spread, and having to "put people down" if they're bitten.

minor peak Aug 12, 2018, 10:45 AM

#

Well, monsters dont bite hunters it seems.

#

They attack with their weapons/claws.

#

This may because its a gameplay mechanic.

#

I really am starting to doubt @mellow jetty 's crediability

I mean all he has given us was empty chases so far

So I'm sticking to what i'm best at.

That is analyzing solid lore pieces.

Nothing

There is a chance they found new prophet - not sure.

What about Grunts not biting Hunters? Are we their saviors?

mellow jetty Aug 12, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

Grunts?

rotund ferry Aug 12, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

Yessir, corrected that.

#

Are we immune to the not-supernatural part of the plague?

tired wind Aug 12, 2018, 9:04 PM

This is totally unnecessary, but I’ve thought it’d be cool if the store featured a grizzled shop keeper, like an old retired Hunter who sells you all your gear. He could comment on your purchases, briefly share tips, and basically shoot the shit while you’re browsing his wares. Feel like it’d add to the lore and overall browsing experience. Again, not necessary at all, but something fun to imagine. I apologize if anyone’s ever mentioned something like this.

@sinful trout Actually this is just lore channel not lore suggestion.

@slim hatch i didnt realize i said that, mind working too fast while typing XD

#

what's the story behind the logo

#

the cross and upside down cross

cold badger Aug 13, 2018, 3:00 AM

#

the right side up cross is our perception of the world

#

the upside down cross is the "dark vision"

#

at least i think thats what it is

Thx

#

Still really confused who this "scupter" guy is?

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Sculptor is the name given to the entity behind the incident at least this particular incident

#

WE have no information on if there are more or if same or different entities caused previous incidents

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

The 1885 one?

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

There was incident before that it was 2 or 3 years before

#

And some where in 1600's

#

Look at lore texts it should be mentioned there (Pinned posts i'm at work so can't dig through it for you)

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 8:50 AM

Thank you!

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 8:54 AM

No worries

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

@slim hatch so do you think that the djinn mentioned in abdulaziz journal is the sculptor? And maybe he's hunting it trying to stop them from creating more monsters

rotund ferry Aug 13, 2018, 4:15 PM

Hey I found this

RIP jacob

rotund ferry Aug 13, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

what does it mean

#

is it an easter egg

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

@sinful trout highly doubt it

#

Djinn is a djinn a very specific creature

#

Take into account who mentions it

#

Where they are from and their background

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

Yeah but there's countless entries of djinn in central Asian lore. Some relate to it as a demon and some as a spirit. Relating to this

📎 Screenshot_20180813-152905.png

#

@rotund ferry @slim hatch could that be one of the children who died in Dr Reed's journal.

#

@slim hatch because there it sounds like it's the sculptor speaking and it says a spirit and a demon. That legitimately relates to an efreet or a djinn

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

It's far too far fetched

#

Don't forget about in-character perspective

#

For one it might be a poltergeist for another it might be a djinn.

#

Same as West has Boogeyman but Slavs completely lack such concept and they have analogy of Baba-yaga (The Old Hag Yaga) which fulfill the same role.

#

So taking into account the origin of the character and lack of anything else pointing that way.

#

It's just some entity the guy dealt with and might have nothing to do with current events.

#

Don't forget all lore texts are in-character perspective so they speak and label stuff based on character's perspective not based on what it actually is.

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

"I am not a human being but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell"
That would be the second thing pointing at a djinn

#

To us a demon or spirit from hell, for abdulaziz a djinn

#

Same thing, different translation

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 8:53 PM

#

Hey. Im running a dnd campagn with the lore of Hunt Showdown, any tips?

slim hatch Aug 13, 2018, 8:54 PM

#

Read pinned posts

#

And also read actual lore texts to get some inspiration best i can tell you

#

Without giving false info or theories

#

I mean i’m now just waiting for the books to come out doubt we will have another gold rush of lore until then

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 9:11 PM

@silver kayak it better be on discord and I better be invited

Yo quick question, how do hunters actualy find people to hire them? Or are there leaders of the AHA the ones who give them jobs

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:43 PM

#

random question, but why do alot of the zombies have headcages on? did it all start with tests?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:44 PM

#

no it started with something called a cluptor creating the virus and the bosses

#

the headcages were old tools used to prevent infection by doctors, but late proved useless

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

oh right, so im assuming they got put on when they was trying to get them not to turn?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

yepperino

#

but as you see

#

it didnt work

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

yup lol

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

maybe every user is an own hiring agency

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

and also, what did make diffrent zombies?

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

thats why you hire hunters you are an agency

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

like what turned a meathead?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

sculptor made the infection, why hives became hives and other zombie types is unknown

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

so sculptor is like a organization?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

no the cages were used by people in hopes they wouldnt catch infection

#

no

#

sculptor is like a demon (presumed) that is creating hell on earth

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

oh damn

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

supernatural thing anyhow

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

we dont know why meatheads became what they are currently.

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

thats awsome

#

what about the spooder or butcher? any info on em

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

meatheads hives armoureds

#

spider and butcher were created as like a project by the sculptor

#

if you look at the spiders underside youll notice its a human face. meaning the spider was made from a (or multiple) human beings

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

yeah ive seen that, always wondered

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

voila

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

and im assuming bits of animals, due to horse legs?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

horse legs?

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

yeah, some legs have hooves

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

i never noticed. but if they are it was confirmed a while ago that the sculptor can work with more than just humans

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

why wouldnt he be able to all are living organisms

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

if you look, even just type it on google you can see hooves

#

its really interesting lore

#

most interesting ive seen in a game

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

well its not that intersting yet but there is lots of stuff to work on!

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

the lore is really interesting i agree. and @quiet berry i just said it was confirmed

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:55 PM

#

im really interested too what devs will come up with

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:55 PM

#

the lore is very hidden and locked. you have to do a lot of work to uncover it. theyre coming out with lore books soon in game

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:56 PM

#

but thats cool

#

it seems like you are a hunter from a diffrent place

#

trying to learn what happend, and also survive and thrive

#

like when i first started playing waaaay back

#

i loved the whole swapping tips with people

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 10:57 PM

#

Yo quick question, how do hunters actualy find people to hire them? Or are there leaders of the AHA the ones who give them jobs

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:57 PM

#

@silver kayak there are multiple orginizations around the globe and they usually contact recruits

#

you dont find them

#

they find you

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

@silver kayak like i said earlier "maybe every user is an own hiring agency" but thats just my idea

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

(thats my understanding)

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

Thanks!

#

Wait, so, are the tokens just gameplay or do they have lore?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

lore wise @quiet berry we only know of aha and the reason you recruit hunters is purely gameplay, not lore

#

the bounty tokens?

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

i hope they add in a new boss with alot of lore

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

@silver kayak

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

well if its purely gameplay for now

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

Like when you kill a bounty, they drop two token things

#

oh ok

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

@quiet berry no its purely gameplay period.

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

its going to be exciting to see how they make up Lore for exsisting monsters

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

So, wait, in lore is there some type of proof you need to provide?

#

Like that you killed the thing

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

@silver kayak the tokens are something you return to your own orginization in return for money and a (speculation ahead) parts to a true deck

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

@sinful trout well thats not fun

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

@silver kayak i believe the term token is used to describe the leftover pieces of the monster.

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

there is so much to work on the hiring aspect

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

so why do they kill the monsters? over population of monsters?

#

or do they cause issues in general?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

@quiet berry the reason you recruit hunters is so that you can keep playing. there is only one butcher, one spider. every game you play is basically a different perspective pf the same hunt

rotund ferry Aug 13, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

For the money B)

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

no i mean like why are you task to kill them

rotund ferry Aug 13, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

Because they’re demons

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

they kill the monsters@quaint fulcrum merely because theyre in the way of your prize

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

whats the prize?

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

@quaint fulcrum theyre beings that if let roam free it could fuck up a lot of stuff

#

the prize is cards to a true deck and money

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

whats all the deck stuff about?

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

in my oppinion all matches played are different hunts

silver kayak Aug 13, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

Why do the organizations that hire you want them dead?

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

but because it is a game thats why there is only one map

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

okay hold up

#

slow down

#

so many questions

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

faster faster

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:08 PM

#

@quaint fulcrum the deck are cards that are like tarot cards but real. they predict your death, fortune and misery. to this moment its unknown weather they actually posee the power to alter your physical abilities. theyre extremely rare and even more valuable.
@silver kayak orginizations want them dead so that the area can survive. imagine if enough civilians witnissed this event? its a very large area populated with monsters threatening the peace of america.
@quiet berry its been confirmed that lore wise there is ONE butcher and ONE Spider. but when you play sometimes you have different intel (only one target on some missions two on others) its not a matter of opinion anymore, only perspective.

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

well that is just lame

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

@quiet berry
Rehab | The ProphetLast Wednesday at 4:22 PM
@Var, Na-E Can't answer that.
@Var, Na-E The Hunt story in general... No text you see is written from an objective point of view. Each piece of text is written by a certain character. Each probably from a different background, using their own terminology – for lack of a better term they use certain words. Like for example – Arab says djinn / shape / sculptor.

Furthermore, this makes some text unreliable. People can remember things wrong. While other can lie.
In fact, each session of Hunt gameplay is conceptual. There is only one spider, only one butcher. They were killed only once. But each Hunt match is somebody telling that story differently.

As to what really happened in Louisiana in 1895, that is the big puzzle.

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

i like it

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

i agree

#

@quaint fulcrum

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

it makes having a diffrent hunter a actual thing

#

and a actual story

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

^^^

#

@quiet berry why do you think its lame?

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:16 PM

#

well that other explanation is better, that the hunts are stories told by other parties

#

but they could make the game feel more bigger by like saying all players are agencies of their own that hire hunters to get rid of supernatural entities in a war against the sculptor

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:21 PM

#

there has been more than one sculptor

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:21 PM

#

but hey you dont have to agree to any of my ideas just tossing stuff

#

ah so the sculptor is a supernatural entity as well

sinful trout Aug 13, 2018, 11:23 PM

#

i mean if you want to suggest things go the the suggestion tab

quiet berry Aug 13, 2018, 11:24 PM

#

yeah but its lore i cant tell what the devs should do with it

#

but there isnt much of the lore yet anyway, so im just tossing whats in my mind

quaint fulcrum Aug 13, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

there is more lore in this game than most full re-leased games

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 1:32 AM

#

@sinful trout Hey, what do you think the hunters would call all the monsters and such of the world?

rotund ferry Aug 14, 2018, 1:36 AM

#

"The lost", I'd say.

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

Hmm

#

Thats ok, but I need something like "feinds" or "devils"

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

do you mean like the sculptor? or the plain zeds

#

since human life is worthless to them i think they would have their own perspective. probably like
Dead - plain grunts "there's a group of deads up ahead"
Hives - Hives "there's a hive to the west, better stay low"
Brute - Armoureds "psst. brute upstairs, proceed quietly"
Dog/Hound - hell hounds "there's a pack of hounds blocking the path, find another way"
Tank - Meathead "no way i'm fucking with that tank"
but of course every hunter would call them something different i suppose. formal letters might refer to them as posessed or the dead.

#

@silver kayak

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

Thank you

#

But I ment more like, you were contaced about a incedent in a small town, the note says there have been numorus blank spotted

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

deads

#

my guess would be deads

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

Thanks!

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

but i think they would avoid the whole "we spotted zombies" and say theres a suspicion of an event happening in moscow please confirm thayt we have another sculptor on our hands so we can send the proper measures to deal with it

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

So, question, what is the AHAs opinion on hunters killing hunters

#

@sinful trout

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

@silver kayak the orginization i think would be repulsed by the idea as they send multiple resources to deal with the target and not to deal with eachother, but with such little money and high value for the cards (abdulaziz mentions hes getting 40 cards of a true deck in exchange for a bounty) they most likely expect it. hell one of the hunters in his note basically says hes joined up to kill other hunters

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Huh

#

how do the card things work?

#

Like in the lore

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

its currently unknown how the cards work but it is theorised that some decks can tell the future. as mentioned in another letter (i forget where) a hunter was staring at a card that basically meant he would die

#

i think it was the tower

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

And the spiders/buchers get people thoses cards?

#

@sinful trout

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

edited above, please re-read

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Also, if he knew he was gonna die, why would he go out?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

the AHA and other orginizations get those cards for people the bounty is just what the aha want from the hunter

#

i read the letter wrong, john hayward hunter wrote that he knew he would die the night of the hunt 99 times. he wrote it as a precaution to his daughter

#

he didnt know he WAS going to die he knew he would PROBABLY die. (stupid var)

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

Oh okay

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

and even if he knew he would die he probably still would have gone as the reward is too good to pass up.

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

Wait so how are the cards created?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

no one but the writers know yet

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

Do we know the way the hunters get them?

Your welcome, for more info look into "pinned"

flint hearth Aug 14, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

willco.

#

oh also.
whilst im not great at coding or art i do still have a lot of ideas. is there a place i could share these ?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

suggestions go to the suggestions tab 😃

#

and art ideas go to fanart!

#

@silver kayak the hunters get the true decks via their orginization in return for the bounty

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Oh ok cool

#

And theise cards have random effects when used?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

we have no idea yet

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Oh, ok

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

its suspected that some cards can tell the future

#

but right now we have no idea what the cards do

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Oh ok

#

So, in order to use the cards, do you need to do anything to it?

#

Like destroy it or something

#

Or is it just there

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

still no idea

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Hmm

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

i dont think so

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

What do we know?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

abdulaziz mentions that chincanes true deck is not to be ignored. so it might mean that chincane has compiled a deck of really intense cards

#

but currently what we know is posted on the lore website and some of the pinned messages contain google docs of previous qnas

#

QnAs

#

sorry

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

Hmm... ok

#

So wait, what are the "clues" are they actualy like that in the lore?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:27 AM

#

Yes kind of. The clues are more like what you see in the gameplay trailer on steam. You connect with the boss and for a second you piggy back on it's conciousness.

#

Painful as fuck too apparently

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:27 AM

#

Hmm

#

So, how do the clues get there?

#

@sinful trout

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

My only theory is that they're one of the two portals connecting our world and the hell dimension. And they appear when the sculptor has created influence over the area

silver kayak Aug 14, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

Sounds like a solid theroy

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 2:37 AM

#

Working on it

rotund ferry Aug 14, 2018, 3:04 AM

#

Some Hunter names are distinctly not American, either immigrants or foreigners; how likely is it that foreign countries also have their own Hunting groups interested in what's going on?

#

I imagine you could get some bigshot British, French, or German safari hunters to bring in some decent hauls.

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

@rotund ferry yes its been confirmed there are lots of other hunting orginizations throughout the globe. more evidence is the russian and german prototypes of guns

rotund ferry Aug 14, 2018, 3:29 AM

#

That too.

quaint fulcrum Aug 14, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

it could be the cliche heaven and hell stuff

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

It's not

quaint fulcrum Aug 14, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

but its been proven that the bad monsters come from a major creator right?

#

so supposively the scultpor comes from hell?

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

Another dimension that is clearly inspired by Hell

#

But not Hell as we know it

quaint fulcrum Aug 14, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

well yeah

#

the cliche heaven and hell

#

not literally heaven and hell

#

i mean, the monsters are clearly inspired by hellish thing

#

that play into alot of peoples cliche fears

#

big zombie-fied spider

#

scary saw looking giant zombie

rotund ferry Aug 14, 2018, 12:29 PM

#

Pretty sure there's a Heaven and Hell.

#

Description even says you're banishing the bosses "back to Hell".

#

Not as, like, in-game dialogue or in-universe writing, but as a matter of fact. And the Hunters seem a bit on the blessed side.

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 12:44 PM

#

@rotund ferry Really blessed? SOmeone didn't read the lore texts.

#

Dark Sight is sculptor's dimension ability by the cost, effects, nature.

#

And all hunters in lore texts claim to be destined to hell

#

Now tell me how are they blessed?

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

The darksight itself is like hell it self for the hunters. What blessed being would come exist with such an evil thing?

#

The hunters are more cursed than blessed.

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

^

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

Cursed because no one will sell them telescopes that arent cracked up 8 ways to hell

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 3:14 PM

#

I think instead of having initially broken scopes

#

You would have crack RNG every time you Drop or Melee someone with the stock

hushed meteor Aug 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

do hunters go through some kind of ceremony or ritual to get the sight or something? because I read it in one of the books in the game that, a normal guy just joined the organization called AHA which I would assume is a hunter's organization. He was told to keep complete secrecy, so I would assume that something going on with the organization they don't want others to know about.

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

Yes

#

It can be either inherited or acquired via ritual

hushed meteor Aug 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

ok

#

There was a small text in the book talking about how some hunters were "brought" in to not hunt the "infected" but hunters instead. They are special hunters that go for human targets. Can we assume that is why we have the "boosted" sight? To seek out and hunt other hunters.

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

At present there is no lore on Dark Sight boost because it was added by devs to negate camping

hushed meteor Aug 14, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

fair enough, but it seems like a pretty good point on that small text they put in about hunters that hunt human targets

vernal geyser Aug 14, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

My question has always been why do hunters of the same orginizarion hunt each other. If they all have the job of send monsters to hell why kill each other?

#

Could there be other hunting orginizations or is it a name for people who do the job not a job in its self

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

@vernal geyser almost all the hunters have no value for human life and they're only in it for the reward (bunch of money and cards to a true deck) so if something or someone is in their way good chance they'll do whatever it takes.
And yes. There are many other organizations throughout the world. We have confirmation of this as well as other weapon prototypes as more backing to it.

#

And as for the hunters that do have regard for human life? Well what do you do when you're getting shot at.

The only thing you can

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

actually i think there could be some basis to the theory that the seeing players thing is a result of the partial absorption of the monster's power

#

maybe thats what the "bounty" is

#

not a physical object at all but just concentrated energy derived from banishing the monster

#

what if

#

you're not being paid to kill the monsters but the real intentions of the AHA are to acquire more and more "bounty"

quaint fulcrum Aug 14, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

so like a trick to get the hunter to consume parts of the sculptor creation maybe?

#

cause i have wondered why you do get somewhat super human abilitie

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 5:53 PM

#

i see it as what you're taking from the remains of the monster enhances the dark sight you've been given

#

this energy is also why other hunters can see you

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 5:54 PM

#

That would be a nice theory if it weren't for the fact that the moment you enter the boss room the boss has no idea where you are

#

You can sneak right up to them

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 5:55 PM

#

maybe its not a direct translation of power

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

So you think the aha is trying to make demons

#

As in the sculptor is part of the aha?

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 5:58 PM

#

not necessarily

#

just that the real intention isnt to kill the bosses to protect people but instead to gather the energy which they use for some other purpose

#

maybe they use it against the sculptor

#

idk

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

Interesting theory

next willow Aug 14, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

Same as West has Boogeyman but Slavs completely lack such concept and they have analogy of Baba-yaga (The Old Hag Yaga) which fulfill the same role.

@slim hatch actually Baba Yaga is more of a witch who lives in a forest; the Boogeyman analogy is likely Бука (Buka, Wiki page for Boogeyman actually leads to Buka in russian section), or maybe Бабай (Babay)

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

But we'd need to ask if it's just pure gameplay mechanic or lore based action

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

i mean

#

lore explanation for gameplay

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

Also holy shit that was weeks ago dude

#

I think

#

That or time has lost all meaning to me

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 6:00 PM

#

yeah it was a couple days ago

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 6:00 PM

#

@cold badger ask a writer if it's just a game play mechanic to counter campers

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

lol it probably is just a mechanic but i think it supports my idea anyway

#

i mean it makes sense that the hunters who have the bounty become more powerful

#

then again killing the bounty carriers doesnt net you the same benefits as actually killing the boss

sinful trout Aug 14, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

It would. Really interesting theory but it would need more backing before moving foreward

#

Really cool concept tho

#

I like it! :D

vernal geyser Aug 14, 2018, 7:46 PM

Hunters use dark sight. According to The Bible it's a witchcraft. So hunters who hunt unclean things using witchcraft are unclean. So, they need hunters to hunt hunters.

I've stopped paying attention to be honest, want me to look at it post in #lore-discussion-hardcore including sources / basis. Because @burnt storm Made a valid point in one of the channels at this moment #lore-discussion is more of a fan-fic, wishful thinking and unfounded speculations atm as such, nobody of the hardcore lore guys really is digging for new lore because simply put we dug through most of the stuff we could of dug through. And Rehab has only thrown more confusion, empty chases and red-herrings to us which did nothing other than waste our time and distract us from analysing solid sources.

gotta explain it somehow lol

slim hatch Aug 14, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

But as i said at present Boost is merely a gameplay mechanic.

#

Until we get any lore hint to it

#

But if we were to gray area explain it.

#

I'd also go for the aspect of a residue energy being absorbed by hunter during banishment

rotund ferry Aug 14, 2018, 10:14 PM

#

It would explain why the Hunters become more scarred and "marked" as they advance through the ranks.

#

The whole staring into the abyss analogy and such.

cold badger Aug 14, 2018, 10:17 PM

but what do you think about the whole idea of the bounty itself

the boost was a side thing

modern field Aug 14, 2018, 10:28 PM

Lol. More SCARRED. T3 hunters are wearing human's skulls on their chests.

They are already deranged and at the point of no return.

river rain Aug 15, 2018, 3:25 PM

Just because you have a human skull on your chest dose not mean you are deranged. In a world where voodoo-esk power is real it is probably a charm or something. And even in a world were its not real... its still probably just a charm... dose not make you deranged. Just because you are scarred from head to toe dose not mean the dark sight did it. Live a life of getting shot at, blown up, burned, and cut up on a semi regular basis and your probably going to get a few scarres... just a few. Hunters killing other hunters dose not mean most hunters have no regard for human life. in lore only one hunter mentions he is out to kill people. other lore entrees mention family, friends, and comrades. Things you don't really bother with when you don't care about human life. to say most hunters don't care about human life from one persons thoughts is just jumping the gun. if you wonder why all the hunters are killing each other in game... well... its probably because we (the players) find it fun... more fun than working together. Hunters are not as special as you think. saying they are "the only ones who are able to stand against the hellish forces" is not true. the most "power" we have seen from hunters is the use of dark sight, witch when you come down to it only helps you find clues. I have never been in a spot where dark sight helped me kill a zombie. Hunters at there core are just people who have the skills, experience, and equipment to go in and fight effectively... or just better than Susan with grandpas old shotgun that has one of two shots in it that she dose not know how to reload. almost all of the supernatural power is on the sculptors side of things. also... I imagine that hunters call the zombies what they are... corpses... I cant imagine a hunter wasting much time on something like that. just putting thoughts out there to some comments i have seen in the last few days.

brazen crest Aug 15, 2018, 4:53 PM

#

I like what you wrote Apache.
To note, the hunters are from all walks by the looks of it. We will even get female hunters in time.
What it shows with the tier threes is that they have been in the field for longer (IE: scars, charms, paleness from seeing the invisible world so much, etc). Someone with a lot to lose, and someone with no regard for life, both would be viable candidates for long lives. They both need to.

brazen crest Aug 15, 2018, 9:28 PM

#

Someone talked about picking up the bounty 'making you more power'. It makes you see hunters through the invisible world (darksight), potentially all living humans (since crows/dogs/horses dont show up).
The HP you gain from banishing a boss whoever, that could corrolate with the Conduit perk. It's the same sort of energy, but the Conduit thing is almost optional. Some hunters are natural conduits, but they all respond the same way to the banishing ritual. They are replenished. So maybe these banishments are one of the main sources of corruption for the Hunters, since we almost assume that the magic is negative/evil.

2 cents, food for thought.

cold badger Aug 15, 2018, 11:19 PM

#

I like that idea

still smelt Aug 16, 2018, 1:08 AM

@brazen crest I can only agree with you that they are battle worn and pale because of the things they have seen, but some people could just straight up go insane from the stress they experience when fighting a 7ft dude with a pig-head and a golden hook.

@still smelt I think it is safe to say that if any have gone truly insane that we are not recruiting the insane ones as, if they are truly insane, would be unfit to get the job done.

still smelt Aug 16, 2018, 4:20 AM

#

Well obviously once they have gone insane they stay in the field to one day get slaughtered by other hunters. They would't engage anymore.

#

Stay in the field to one day get slaughtered by other hunters?

still smelt Aug 16, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

I would assume that could be the case.

#

I mean, have you seen the spiders face, it's possible that that thing could have been humaniod once.

brazen crest Aug 16, 2018, 12:27 PM

#

Yeah, it doesn't have chitin or a carapace like a regular arachnid, more just like skin stretched over malformed limbs. Plus, the butcher is a regular meathead (giant, leech-monster), but with a desecrated cross inserted quite forcefully into it's would-be head and neck. Topped with the pig's head, I'm thinking it's a bit too advanced for a zombie to do to itself.

There was mention of a sculptor somewhere, but I am unsure what they are. At a stretch I could think that they sculptor has the knowhow to turn these horrors into demons, or abominations. Both bosses seem to have been created, rather than birthed. The Spider would most likely be a demon, either spawned in or made from parts. The Butcher, I'm assuming, is a more troubling story.

#

@still smelt , you mentioned insanity as well, and I think that's a part of the game too in a sense. We as the players can continue to play (it's just a game) but some of the lorebits seem a bit too desperate to be wholly sane. Plus there is a big Lovecraft inspiration in the game, so insanity is a definite option for the NPC Hunters I'd say. Also paranoia plays a big part in it, doesn't it? Hunters don't talk it out, so you're always going to assume the other hunters are insane for trying to murder you, and vice versa.

river rain Aug 16, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

@brazen crest @still smelt. Sculptor created spider and butcher from human and animal flesh and all the zombies are because of the sculptor. Nothing was birthed and the sculptor has full responsabity for all of it.

brazen crest Aug 16, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

Arh okay, but I guess the Sculptor's are humans? And they are the ones who have given or taught hunters the Darksight?

river rain Aug 16, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

@brazen crest The sculptor is not Human. And it definitely did not grant the hunters dark sight. Dark sight is most probably given to a hunter via a voodoo esk ritual. Also while lore implies that the AHA has dealt with Sculptors before (meaning more than one sculptor) The lore also implies that this is all the work of one singular sculptor.

@sick vault your a god , great job on the script , love it when the community gets involved like this

#

@minor peak from what i understand from the bible verse, the sculptor seems to be a type of demon, or even possibly the devil in some way. The he hath but a short time means that the sculptor can only act with finite resources and time. only being able to act while the bosses are alive (possibly the bosses are used as amplifiers of his power or gateways of a sort)

#

Possibly the other sculptors were the same entity (the devil himself idea) but only noticed in different times and areas

#

Unless it's confirmed that it is indeed multiple sculptors

#

Identifying different sculptors could also be a whole area by itself, due to not seeing a sculptor being a different entity firsthand, it might have different types of effects on the local populace and wildlife

#

For example, our current sculptor has a bug fetish (wasps, leech monsters, moths, and maggots in some zombie insides)
But a different sculptor may have a different execution, possibly different monsters and "style"

@river rain in a mention to your previous comment a while ago in a qna we asked why hunters kill each other. And it was said that hunters are generally unpleasant and don't HAVE to kill people.
Is it a game mechanic or a story element that hunters kill each other considering all of them being associated / members of AHA?

A: They don’t HAVE TO kill each other.

If you think to this particular situation it would be a bit sketchy that someone (not belonging to your hunting organization) would be watching your back. So there would be a reason hunters would shoot on sight.

And as yo your other mention that darksight isn't the reason the tier 3s are decaying. I agree with you to a certain point. But a lot of hunters have things that look like skin diseases and fresh wounds. Some of the marks yes can be the result of battle scarring but I think the rest is due to the darksight, ref to previous qna
-Why the T3 (Rugged / Proven) hunters seem to be so battered, it’s not just hunt type scars some of them look like skin disease(Arms specifically)?

A: Don’t you think that dark sight comes with a cost?

However you brought up a lot of good points I cant disagree with.

#

Not a lot of bounty going around if they're going to different organizations

river rain Aug 18, 2018, 6:27 AM

#

@sinful troutI didn't intended to make an implication that dark sight was not responsible for any of the damage on the hunters. I think it has caused damage. Just not all of it (Personally i think DS is responsible for... 40% of damage) witch is the direction it looked like people were starting to advocate. And I agree that not all hunters are pleasant. I just think that saying the majority of hunters don't care about human life is jumping to conclusions. Hope I don't sound mad or anything. Just wanted to clarify.

sinful trout Aug 18, 2018, 6:29 AM

#

@river rain ah makes sense 😃 didnt know that was what you intended the way i read it it looked like you were saying 10% of damage was due to dark sight

#

@slim hatch @minor peak note in abdulaziz journal entry he mentions that he is trading the husk of a southern djinn to the amercan hunters association, but hes clearly not from the american hunters association. why do you think it is that another HA would send some of its own hunters to a hunt that means no benefit to them? politics or is it simply that hunters can go to whatever hunt they please, if that was so whats the point of belonging to an orginization

rotund ferry Aug 18, 2018, 12:42 PM

Pretty sure the “infected” are still people, once they get set ablaze they start screaming for a while. Maybe there’s some sort of message in their screams like half life? lawl

brazen crest Aug 18, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

Doubt it, they also scream when they hear sounds or see someone they can eat. I think it's more an 'active' response thing, not so much a people thing. How the hive screams without any attached lungs is curious though.

#

@river rain (from lore hardcore) its a good theory, i was thinking that but that wouldnt really explain the bleeding. actually none of it explains the bleeding unless its just purely a gameplay mechanic. my guess is its a bunch of eels /worms like @slim hatch mentioned. however your idea of it being leftover human parts is a good theory mainly because would the sculptor want to waste such material?

@green violet "Hunters are the people who inherited or underwent a ritual in order to obtain the Dark Sight. Proved seasoned hunters (Tier III) seem to display symptoms of deterioration as a result of dark sight usage, visible traits are burns, lesions and discoloration of skin. A common claim among Hunters is that they are destined to hell.

The exact reasonings for hunt is unknown but it is implied through the lore texts that they are seeking the True Deck (Because it seems to tell their future) and the Salvation (Because they are destined to hell)."

#

"It is implied in some lore texts the fact that the people of the Lousiana Swamps enjoyed a normal lifestyle who worked in farms with the help of animals as evidenced from the presence of chickens in cages, the number of cornfields, etc. All these were soon to be changed when the demon infestation broke in, transforming most of the residents into grotesque monsters who attacked whoever did not transform, including the animals hence the presence of several dead horses and a few of wounded horses who are whining in pain to approaching Hunters.

In the initial outbreak, in the first reported cases the infected people were isolated and guarded by residents who were armed with crude weapons (torches, cleaver, etc). They were examined by Doctor Reed who believed that they should have headlocks attached on their heads as evidenced by a large number of Grunts who have headlocks on their heads. This experiment failed as even the armed residents were infected and transformed, hence the number of Grunts armed with cleavers and torches in their hands. Infected people slowly lost their feelings, thoughts or any other form of humanity left in them.

Response to this widespread outbreak in the swamps was catastrophic as even some residents armed themselves with firearms to fight back, an effort that quickly turned out to be futile as they were killed by rampaging monsters. Soon after, those incidents got isolated and covered up to prevent widespread panic and attention to the authorities, eventually sending out Hunters to kill and extract the bounty of the bosses by any means."

You probably notice that I was off the grid for a few days – right? Well, the reason behind it... I was going through all my research in secret. Every scripts, page, book, scroll that I found on my journey. I went through all off it. I notice something that was repeating multiple times across all the books and papers. It was a small thing nothing special but I had to research it further. Gathering all the info and compiling it in one thing, checking it twice… I was able to pinpoint it! It will take me 3 days, 14hours and 2 minutes. I'll travel once again.

I go by name of Prophet. This is my story. With the beast inside I travel tonight. I left alone. My mind was blank, my blood runs cold. I write down these words for fix hundred and sixty six time.

I see a lot of people questioning the hunters killing eachother, but failing to remember the letter that explicitly states the sculptor could be in anyone, they don't know the extent of its power, and that "nobody can be trusted"
There was also the letter of the guy explaining how he's become enthralled by the prospect of hunting people.
So I think all that, with the idea of a bounty being up for grabs kinda explains it, no?

We have seen the AHA, but does anyone think we will see more references to this "Sinners" organization? They seem to be like a Ottoman version of the AHA.

Theres a number or different supernatural-oriented organizations

sharp bay Aug 19, 2018, 1:53 AM

True but this 'Sinners' organization seems to be more in-lined with the AHA than with just other "investigative" organizations. i.e. The 'Sinners' are another Hunters guild.

#

I'd kill for a new hunter that wears like a Fez or a robe lol.

Saying the sinners are 'a AHA like organization' is a bit of a stretch I think.

We don't know for a fact what the sinners were like, or are like, just that sinan left them behind and their name is a bit misleading

in the book of lore there is a remark about graffiti spreading and becoming a sort of art, does it have to do anything with actual game lore, or is it just a remark cut from newspapers of that time?

Hobos around that age used them as markers and such and others also picked it up

river aurora Aug 19, 2018, 10:18 AM

One thing that doesn't make sense with the newsprint is that it was made in 1977 or takes place around then, at least according to the wiki article.
http://huntshowdown.wikia.com/wiki/Louisiana_Incident_-_New_York_Graffiti

Hunt: Showdown Wiki

Louisiana Incident - New York Graffiti

The New York Graffiti incident comprises the third section of the Louisiana Incident book. Judging by the handwritten year in its margin, the article was either written or collected in 1977. There...

#

Maybe the image in the article is of actual interest, rather than the publishing itself.

elder carbon Aug 19, 2018, 10:22 AM

#

That's odd indeed, that it's time stamped for more than ten years before the game takes place

#

The article cuts off just before naming a "pseudo language" of some kind

#

Wait

#

No

#

1977, I'm an idiot, that's nearly 100 years ahead of where the game takes place

#

I was thinking it said 1877

how does the water devil fit into the lore

could they all be just one entity?

#

@river aurora @elder carbon 1895 Incident isn't the only one there was one if i'm not mistaken 10 years before as well But yeah 1977 Something wrong there

#

@full fog There is no basis to assume it considering concurrent water devils (Personally seen up to 8 in one place) are a thing so it's not one entity

elder carbon Aug 19, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

It's probably just another creation of the sculptor

slim hatch Aug 19, 2018, 11:40 AM

Yes

#

I'd say fairly certainly it is

#

As it's only known entity at work in Louisiana incident

elder carbon Aug 19, 2018, 11:41 AM

I meant, as opposed to being it's own being

#

I think the term water devil is a bit misleading considering the backdrop

#

Unless they are infact their own independent mini demons

full fog Aug 19, 2018, 11:48 AM

#

@slim hatch the fact that there can be multiple water devil blobs at compound does not necesarily mean that they are not just "limbs" of one big mofo hiding underground

Yes but don't use the religion argument "You can't prove it's not like that thus it's possible"

#

I was thinking about the hunters and their link to "hell", and then I played a game and lost a hunter, since I was broke I had to buy the cheapest hunter, then it hit me. Why would you pay a hunter to do a bounty hunt for you, but you are still the one hunter killing the bounty. So what if you (the player) is a demon paying humans to posses them for an hour or so, and you get to play again whether your hunter dies or not, because that would make the hunter a host for your ghost and you can posses more hunters. And the levels you level up is the bond you have with your hunter, the more you are in the body the more familiar you are with it. I might be onto something or I am overcomplicating it with this theory?

river rain Aug 20, 2018, 7:12 AM

#

@still smelt. Waaaaay overcomplicating. Points for originality though.

slim hatch Aug 20, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

Don't think it's the case but it's a damn nice idea.

I had someone else ask something along this line, like you're your own organization and that's why you hire hunters. Nice idea but it's just a game play thing

no no. not saying that. personally i think its a scape goat to pin the outbreak on. cover story stuff. "what has been happening in the swamps?" answer- "Oh nothing. just an out brake of yellow fever."

untold solstice Aug 20, 2018, 7:55 PM

^ Thats what it seems like according to the lore

The local government knew something horrible was happening ....or it was disinformation on part of the hunter's guilds that were profiting from these kinds of events happening

lusty valley Aug 20, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

So the real question is, What even made these things? Better yet.. Why does the spider have a human face? Would the air be contaminated? What made the zombies if not bites or scratches

#

I’ve wondered if the hunters wearing Bandana’s are a primitive type of air filter but it seems like it could also be to show their prowess

@lusty valley the spider is a formation created by the sculptor of one or more people/animals. The demon made the virus that created all the zombies, why there is a variation (meathead,. Hive) is unknown.

@river rain are you referring to governor general article? If so that's a good point. Because he mentions that the locals are poor and it's likely they fell to disease as poor people do

This is just speculation, but its my theory on what causes incidents like the ones down in lousiana. In swamps and places like the bayou in particular in the US south there was a strong practice of Vodoo by hatians. Vodoo was viewed as devil worship by the majority of western civilization and devil worship may be what summons events like these. Circumstantial evidence that kinda lead me to this was the very hatian appearance of a lot monsters especially the human head on the Hive. And also the head cages could be scolds bridles which were used to humiliate and torture who were “troublesome” including those accused speaking of witchcraft

lusty valley Aug 21, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

I mean, That would make quite a bit of sense for louisiana, but apparently this is happening all over the world too. Which is why there are so many different named hunters. Some German, British and French. But speaking about Voodoo, Look at the Tier 3 cloak hunter. He has a tophat and bird skulls attached to his chest.

rotund ferry Aug 21, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

It could be devil worship in any form

#

Maybe each sect of devil worships just an entirely unique set of demons and such.

sinful trout Aug 21, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

Read the letter from madame leveau and I think you'll get some insight to your theory. It was a nice theory but just look at it for yourself @rotund ferry

river rain Aug 21, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

Im going to go along the lines that the bird sculls and such are charms not devil worship. Why would you worship your enemy. And its probably not to show respect... I mean... Demons... Why would you want to show respect to demons. This is the AHA not a cult.

Hello guys, I want to know about the Hunt lore more than now. Where can I hop in?

#

Where to start?

#

Check the pinned messages for this channel brother man @cursive schooner There is a slideshow that contains all the current canon lore that is explained

#

However this channel is just speculation and trying to understand more of the lore like what other associations are there in the Hunt world, Or what this whole thing is

#

On a technical level for game design purposes, sure. Otherwise this doesn't give much info imo

#

This basically says that multiple water devils will be in the water. Not all 100 will aggro you like dogs do. Instead you will only have to worry about one to fight.

#

They are staying away from the 5 packs of dogs attacking at once..lol

@mellow jetty do I get a straight answer with this question?

#

Also what do you mean it's the only place you can find it.its a crysis suit that is from an entirely different game. I believe that belongs in #screenshots but that may be just me.

I admire the dedication to pursue on useless topic HUL

mellow jetty Aug 24, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

@sinful trout Not anymore. I'm not in the Crytek office anymore. You can ask but the answer will be given next week.

#

What I meant with that is... Hey guys Im in Crytek office ask questions because Im talking with lore crew, concept crew etc...

#

I did not want to spell it directly like that. The only place where you can find the suit is Crytek HQ jizzleWAH

So i believe i figured out what the 'Water devils' are and the thought of what they are and what they do is very eerie. The water devils i think represent hag fish. while hag fish typically scavenge dead carcasses, the reason behind them becoming so aggressive could be a combination of two things. 1 the 'grunts' when walk through the water would become food for normal hag fish. they would then adapt to going after a moving target. 2. what ever causes the grunts to rise from the dead would then cause the hag fish to become much more aggressive and become Water Devils. those are my thoughts.

sinful trout Aug 24, 2018, 10:35 AM

#

@keen thunder if that's the case don't you think they'd attack grunts?

This is a screenshot of the Water Devil apparently. It's weird though because it doesn't at all look like the model in game

#

Because that's spider

#

Not Water Devil

proper pine Aug 24, 2018, 11:08 AM

#

that makes sense

#

baited by the description lol

#

thought it was some mutated crayfish or something

#

it doesn't look like the spider in game though, is that at an earlier stage of mutation?

slim hatch Aug 24, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

Possibly

#

If i'm not mistaken earlier spider

#

Was a lot more human in appearance

#

Or concept art

#

Sec

sinful spruce Aug 24, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

Highly disappointed, I was thinking the water devil would be an alligator or some shite

proper pine Aug 24, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

yeah because that looks absolutely terrifying

Instead it's a tentacle monster

#

OH GOD WHAT IS THAT

proper pine Aug 24, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

it's not even that Sexi

Early sketches for spider

proper pine Aug 24, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

its a group of monsters

#

a whole swarm of eels or leeches

#

something like that

#

you can see them individually swimming around when they're not aggrod

sinful spruce Aug 24, 2018, 11:11 AM

#

Yeah... Was expecting gators. Not a hentai film.

proper pine Aug 24, 2018, 11:11 AM

#

yeah I wanted gators as well 😦

#

woulda fit the theme better too

sinful spruce Aug 24, 2018, 11:12 AM

#

They could have been the hellhounds of the water, but NOOOO

cold badger Aug 24, 2018, 12:18 PM

#

It probably killed all the gators

digital finch Aug 24, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

Im starting to think that water devils are mutated leeches. Those are abundent in swampy Louisiana.

keen thunder Aug 24, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

Oh Lordy nope on the leaches! We already have super sized, screaming, poison spitting ones! I REALLY don’t want to think of the water devils as leaches. Would much prefer the hag fish ty

lusty valley Aug 24, 2018, 12:51 PM

#

They actually look more like Bloodworms to me.

#

And bloodworms are known the bite so it wouldn’t be too far fetched to have vicious, demonically mutated bloodworms

keen thunder Aug 24, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

You have a point

digital finch Aug 24, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

I saw those things in brave wilderness on youtube. I think they are worse looking than the leeches

severe scarab Aug 24, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

sorry for non-related question guys, but is there books in the world that somewhat close to the game's lore? or at least a word to describe the genre of it, like, dark fantasy or something?

keen thunder Aug 24, 2018, 3:01 PM

#

Hell-on-earth

#

Or simply Hell-razing

#

Anyone who gets the word play 👍👍

shadow crown Aug 24, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

do the spider have human arms like that concept nowadays? It moves too fast

fathom badge Aug 24, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

Yeah

#

He freaky

Wait what.
The spider has human arms?

sinful spruce Aug 25, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

Yeah, that's kinda disgusting to see

#

or even think of how it mutated to that thing

rough compass Aug 25, 2018, 12:57 AM

his face looks like he saw something that really scared him
