hunt-general

[whole furnace]

I'd rather play a romero + nagant with 536 worth of tools/consumables than a Mosin + Dolch with lesser tools/consumables

[vale copper]

Obviously body shot 😏

[vale copper]

I get that

[whole furnace]

It was in fact not a headshot, but close

[vale copper]

For me weapons are most important I do like Romero but I perform alot better on guns I’m more comfortable on

[outer iron]

lies. slander.

[vale copper]

Romero for me is just waiting for someone to come by

[vale copper]

If I’m being real it doesn’t even look like you hit him but like the fire exploded and touched him

[whole furnace]

Well then a winnie and someone else, the point is more that I can do okay with any gun, but tools and especially consumables are game changers.

[vale copper]

But I mean that’s probably not the case

It just looks that way

[vale copper]

Fair enough I guess

What kinda consumables do you run?

Real talk

I guess it depends on your go to

There’s a few different loadouts

The healing types the Beetles the traps

[radiant wren]

tell me more about consumable-fu

[whole furnace]

Naw actually mostly the same.

[vale copper]

My go to consumables on almost all my loadouts is ammo box regen shot and Stam shot and sticky bomb

[vale copper]

Depends on your playstyle tbh

[radiant wren]

lmao i am not living long enough to run out of bullets, smh

[whole furnace]

Tools:

• Dusters
• Med-Kit
• Chokes
• Flare Pistol
  Consumables:
• 2x Big Regen
• 1x Recovery Shot
• 1x Ammo Box (this one can change, but usually doesn't)

[vale copper]

I have 2 buddies that are irl so play with consistently and we all run completely different consumable loadouts

For my one buddy he runs like 3 beetles and a heal

My other buddy is like recovery shot and 2 vitality

I am more centered around fighting as many people as I can

[whole furnace]

It is expensive and usually makes up over half my budget :')

[vale copper]

So I go ammo box regen Stam and sticky bomb

[vale copper]

Fr

Unless I splurge on gun

Drilling is so expensive

I have stopped using it for awhile because 600 for a gun plus I have to spend more typically on the ammo too is so nuts

Drilling shorty hatchet is my go to now it does essentially the same thing for half the price

[radiant wren]

so far for best budget loadout recomendations we have romero/pax and lemat carbine/katana okay i like these

[whole furnace]

Good old Winfield is never bad too

[vale copper]

Winfield decent yeah

[whole furnace]

Tho it is quite weak in the meta atm

[vale copper]

How expensive is the centennial

[radiant wren]

love my centy shorty

[whole furnace]

I wanna say like... 180

[vale copper]

Centennial and pax with fmj is another favorite loadout of mine

[whole furnace]

Damn 157

[vale copper]

Although centennial I like to spend all 10 of my starting trait points on levering and iron eye

[whole furnace]

Ah it is the Cenny Sniper that is 180 lol

[whole furnace]

Eyup, that levering nerf really hurted winnies :(

Just bc of a bozo event trait

GJ crytek :)))))

[vale copper]

I hope they keep corpse seer

As a scarce trait

[tribal pilot]

Same

[vale copper]

Seems like a genuinely nice perk and would definitely spice up the scarce trait pool

Right now it’s like

3 different ways to resto

And beserker

[whole furnace]

Hope they move Witness over as a scarce trait.
But I know they wont bc people would complain to no end.

[vale copper]

Witness

What’s that one do again

[whole furnace]

Sees dead bodies + regen near dead bodies

It is incredible strong

Guess just not all people know how to use it proper

[polar ridge]

I'd rather see Blademancer as a scarce trait.

[radiant wren]

kove witness when im using vulture+ packmule, didnt even know about the regen

[vale copper]

What does this do?

[polar ridge]

Corpse Seer is bad for the game. People go up to a compound and can KNOW (not just suspect) where enemies are.

Ambushing and playing carefully to NOT get ambushed are core parts of Hunt and Corpse Seer takes some of that away.

[vale copper]

The game lacks information all together unless you run beetles and spend a long time or have dark sight

Adding a niche way to gain 1 second of dark sight isn’t bad for the game

[polar ridge]

Infinite ammo for bow and crossbow and throwing tools, you can pull them back in Dark Sight.

[vale copper]

Considering you have to kill people to get it too

Or at least find bodies

[whole furnace]

You mean more infinite ammo for the infinite ammo weapons? :V

[polar ridge]

Beetles have a downside - you need to sit still to use 'em. Dark Sight acquired via Corpse Seer has no downsides (except the spot you leave on the map when acquiring it).

[vale copper]

But it also only happens if you get a kill

It’s a reward for winning

Instead of just

[whole furnace]

I don't mind corpse seer too much, but also don't think the game "lacks" information

[polar ridge]

You do run out of bolts and arrows in long fights because you do miss shots and can't go there to pick them up.

[vale copper]

Here’s a dynamite stick

[whole furnace]

Which is the point no?

[polar ridge]

Corpse Seer is not a bad idea but it should have some significant downside.

[whole furnace]

That they are retrievable, but you will lose them eventually in the heat of battle.

[polar ridge]

Maybe your position could be marked on the map, say, every five minutes?

[vale copper]

It’s very easy to get killed by someone who just waited for a team to show up with shotguns or a team hiding in the forest if you didn’t hear them enter it

[whole furnace]

But you can silently kill most AI.

[polar ridge]

Yes. That is the point and essence of Hunt. 😄

[whole furnace]

Doesn't really happens in my lobbies I would say.
People usually fight around bosslairs and bounties.

[vale copper]

It’s also incredibly frustrating for people who do not want to spend the entire game being paranoid about every possibility

[polar ridge]

Either you dare to move fast in a gunfight and risk other people getting the jump on you or you wait to ambush others.

[iron pilot]

nah ppl who landmine can get fucked stay mad at corpse seer

[whole furnace]

Sure you can get ambushed, but like... that is the open nature of the game.

[whole furnace]

That is the point of the game tho

[radiant wren]

why do people pair the 1865 carbine supressed with the bomb launcher steel balls so often? i keep seeing those 2 specifically together but idk why

[polar ridge]

So all in all, Corpse Seer is an OK addition to the game but it needs some tweaking.

[whole furnace]

No idea, sounds like a really bad combo lol

[polar ridge]

I wouldn't mind it as a regular trait, too, if it had some MAJOR downside.

[vale copper]

It cost 9

🤑

[little widget]

love using free hire hunters and be a rat, then steal bounty

[whole furnace]

Eh it ain't gamebreaking, fine as it is.
Wouldn't cry if it became a scarce trait, but I do not think we need "more information" in the match.

[vale copper]

Yeah but there should be counterplay to sneaky players other than just getting a token

[polar ridge]

Beetles are enough as far as "more intel" goes. Knowing the EXACT location of enemies, risk-free? Meh.

[polar ridge]

There is. Leave the general area. They will meet you at the boss lair. In any case, they will either move to follow you (in which case they will make some sound) or they will sit in their bush until the match ends (in which case they are no longer a problem).

[whole furnace]

Again, rare I get "out sneaked", usually that is just because of bad movement and pathing.

[vale copper]

I mean I guess you do bring up valid points but you generally never know when they will strike since you have no idea of their presence

That’s the main issue

Is getting attacked by someone you had no idea was there

[polar ridge]

... which is the point of being ambushed? 😄

[whole furnace]

Well.. riddle me this then, if you don't know where or when you getting ambushed, what help does corpse seer? You kinda have to anticipate people waiting for you to use that 1 second you got to scan them? :)

[polar ridge]

As in, you will die to a random ambush headshot on and off and this is NOT a problem in a game like Hunt. It's got Hunt in its name, not Pew-Pew. Ok, the Pew-Pew is also there (the Showdown part) but, um... both words are there? 😄

It's good Crytek added Bounty Clash, too. It's great for people who just want the shooty part.

I played it, like, twice and then never touched it again. 😄

[vale copper]

I like it

But I am also just tired of

Fighting shotguns

Every second of the day

Which is why I don’t play it as often

[polar ridge]

It's the shooty part so people bring the most shooty of weapons.

[vale copper]

this is fair but it’s also kinda sad when your teammate dies in front of you to a random sniper shot and you have no idea where they killed him from because of silencer

[vale copper]

The most shooty weapons for very close range

Half of bounty clash is just people sitting in buildings waiting to be pushed so they can auto you in the chest

[whole furnace]

Silencers is a whole other issue for sure haha
Which sadly have just reach their annoyance as they are now bc people wanted them buffed time and time again over the years.

[vale copper]

Imo silencers have no place in the game with snipers mainly

[whole furnace]

Silencers used to have "bad" iron sights as a balance to their upside.
But people kept complaining, so Crytek removed that aspect.

[vale copper]

The game should not reward the guy sitting in the bush a mile away

[whole furnace]

Well, Maynard Silenced was a fucking mistake and Crytek should remove and apology for it.

Krag Silenced too to a lesser extend.

[vale copper]

I literally have had multiple bounty clash games where people will sit across the map

[vale copper]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-stare-meme-angry-gif-14312537171363175004

I am #1 krag fanboy never say that to me again

[whole furnace]

I don't play BC often, if any at all.

[vale copper]

Krag is void of any and all critique because it’s my favorite gun

[whole furnace]

Krag Silenced was a mistake

[random nimbus]

Would not be opposed to them removing both the Silent Krag and Maynard

[whole furnace]

Also, Krag should get its damage reverted to 124 damage, BUT get its 4 bullets back.

So it a high fire-rate, high ammo capacity long ammo rifle.

[random nimbus]

Ehhh, I don't like the bullet inflation of long ammo bolties

[whole furnace]

Well, ammo boxes exists

Sooo

yeah

[vale copper]

But then how will I one shot people who lost 1 small chunk 😢

[whole furnace]

Nerf Deployable ammo boxes

[random nimbus]

Yeah, but you don't need them if you already have 18-21 bullets

Plus an uppercut

[whole furnace]

That is balance for ya

[random nimbus]

There's is no reason whatsoever that a repeating long ammo rifle should have more bullets than a single shot

And the Krag had 1 more bullet than the sparks for ages before it got nerfed

[polar ridge]

Now they are just bad, period. 😄 The damage reduction put me off silenced Sparks for good. 🙁

[random nimbus]

Berthier has the same as the Martini

[whole furnace]

True, but IF we gonna have long ammo rifle have 125+ damage and 15 total ammo as a standard, I think it is fair that Krag not hitting the 125+ mark, gets more bullets :)

[random nimbus]

Not really. It was perfectly fine before

[polar ridge]

And Maynard Sniper silenced too... However, it's not that much of a problem with shitty damage (especially with HV) and no dum dum.

[vale copper]

NEVER COOK AGAIN

[polar ridge]

It should still go away because it makes Ultimate Ratting possible but it's hardly as popular as it used to be.

[vale copper]

LEAVE MY AMMO BOX ALONE

[rare wyvern]

is the event over yet?

[vale copper]

although they should make it so if you use ammo box and also have a mosin automatic you implode

[whole furnace]

Issue with Maynard Silenced for me is that if you gameplan is snipe with it, it is a low risk win-win for the sniper.
Either you hit your slow ass bullet and 1-tap someone in the head or you miss and the enemy will not have a living chance to know where you are and you can exfiltrate and change position to take your next shot.

So basically just a misery machine in the right hands

[spark folio]

they didnt announce it, but are the servers going down in an hour when the event ends?

[rare wyvern]

is that fact?

or a question

[spark folio]

Im not sure thats why im asking

usually they down the servers when events end but i wasnt on earlier to see any notifications in game

[wicked fox]

I think it might be a stealth patch with no server downtime.

[vale copper]

A stealth patch where they make it so every auto shotgun player implodes

Good idea

[wicked fox]

Or they bleed out like The Pale Judge. 🩸

[vale copper]

True

[mild flower]

90% of hunt "balancing"

blank used to have blank as a balance to their upside.
But people kept complaining, so crytek removed the balancing mechanic.

[whole furnace]

Basically lol

[vale copper]

Next update they will make it so incendiary and poison keep their pen

It’s cooekd

[whole furnace]

Poison already used to deal less damage

[mild flower]

well tbf poison used to actually have upsides in poison sense and immolator killing

now poison[pain] sense is obsolete because you may as well run bleed or fire with pain sense, and immolators are practically immune to poison ammo

things are just slowly becoming normal ammo lmao

[whole furnace]

Very true

Immolator poison change was the weirdest out of left field change

[mild flower]

i dont know why they didnt just give hellborn a resistance to it
and honestly even that wasnt needed. poison still wouldnt be that good.

[vale copper]

Is hellborne the wizard from coc boss

[mild flower]

and i dont agree with changing poison sense to pain sense. the already good status effects got better and poison became pointless.

[wicked fox]

I use to drop them with that one hit, now they get hit and laugh.

[whole furnace]

My conspiracy theory about that is that it got changed bc Biggolator- I mean Hellborn was about to hit with the 2.0 patch and those two looks alike and they wanted it to be more "consistent" to the Hellborn weakness to poison.

[mild flower]

even if poison became more popular because hellborne was weak to it.. so what? poison needed that

[vale copper]

The only decent poison weapon I know is hand crossbow poison bolts

Because it leaves like a 3 minute trap of poison cloud

[mild flower]

an argument could be made for sparks

and spistol

[vale copper]

Why?

I guess so they can’t heal?

[mild flower]

someone who is stuck is 1hp for such a long time is extremely vulnerable

[vale copper]

I guess so

[mild flower]

even a choke bolt explosion can kill them at 1hp

[whole furnace]

I used to run "the best 1-slot tool in the game", the Nagant Silenced w. Poison a lot.
But the 2.0 update killed that in so many ways.

[vale copper]

Sparks poison shot plus beetle combo

How long does sparks poison last

[mild flower]

yeah, sparks poison has some of the most nasty combos in the game

[mild flower]

depends whether they have mithridatist but nobody runs that because nobody runs poison

and it lasts nothing if they have antidote, which they might have from magpie or a 4 shot boon, but probably not running shot

[vale copper]

Yeah who the hell runs antidote XD

the only reason anyone would have is it because of magpie

And the soon to be gone four shot boon

Maybe with four shot boon gone

[mild flower]

apparently it's 13 seconds without mithridatist, but i have a pretty outdated source so i may be wrong

[vale copper]

I will run Sparks poison

I will try it

[mild flower]

i think antidote should be removed honestly. poison is already not good

[left orbit]

me

[mild flower]

try some funny combos for me

[vale copper]

I don’t like beetles tho

But I guess I’ll have to use them

For the sake of it

4 stalker beetles

My little army

Pain sense works in beetle view yes?

Wait actually

3 stalker beetles

1 ammo box

[tawny frost]

runnin antidote feels like eating vitamins for a headache bro

[tawny frost]

forget ammo box, bring packmule and find beetle trees

4 beetles per tree

[mild flower]

try out hand crossbow choke bolts. they can hit people through brick and concrete walls and do the last 1hp damage to finish someone off.

[vale copper]

INFINITE BEETLE GLITCH

[tawny frost]

yessir

[polar ridge]

That's the thing, the bullet is NOT slow-ass. Regular ammo has decent muzzle velocity, High Velocity brings it up to Sparks velocity which is... just plain stupid.

[mild flower]

at least high velocity gives it muzzle flash doesnt it

[vale copper]

You can run High velo on Maynard sniper?

[vale copper]

That doesn’t matter if they’re 1 mile away shooting you from across the map

You’ll never hear where they’re shooting from

[tawny frost]

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-omniman-omni-man-think-think-mark-think-gif-10154057437310280034

[mild flower]

but bullet drop stops people from doing that [joke]

[vale copper]

Bullet drop? That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

[whole furnace]

I was thinking of subsonic 289m/s :)
If you use that, people will never know your position.
But for sure normal bullets also not gonna be heard if you are 100m away or well, the whizzing by sound, but good luck pin-pointing someone from that alone .

[vale copper]

My favorite high velo gun is the drilling

It’s basically hitscan

Op

[raven totem]

Make the snake skin a basic Kragen, would be fire

[raven totem]

A weird. UT effective load out I like I drilling hatchet Springfield dead eye all hv

[vale copper]

For drilling hatchet I like dum dum personally

See like

For hatchet I go dum dum normal shotgun for drilling normal I go HV flechette

[raven totem]

Drilling hatchet is super slept on

[random nimbus]

Or give it to the sniper because it needs a good skin

[raven totem]

No gross

[mild flower]

is it? last i checked it was pretty popular

[random nimbus]

Drilling is pretty well used, I'd say

Hatchet and compact not as much

[raven totem]

Not so much from what I've seen, it swings close to dolch p In strength

[random nimbus]

Idk about Dolch P strength, but it's definitely underrated

The shotgun buff helped it a lot

[mild flower]

close to dolch p is a crazy claim

but i dont use either often so ill take your word for it

[raven totem]

. 6s two tap with no recoil, and a Romero hand cannon

[random nimbus]

I used to use the Hatchet with slugs, but there's no need for slugs at all anymore on it

[mild flower]

i think slugs are well balanced in comparison to buckshot now.

[raven totem]

Buck is strictly better on it

[random nimbus]

Buckshot is strictly better on most shotguns, I feel

[mild flower]

buckshot is the jack of all trades and useful in more situations, but that's how default ammo is supposed to be.

special ammo is, as the name suggests, specialized

slugs fit that now imo

[random nimbus]

The use case for slugs is pretty small now tho

[raven totem]

Cnk

[random nimbus]

You get a little extra range and worse pen

[raven totem]

Or other hand cannons like rival

[random nimbus]

But you also give up aimpunch, which is actually pretty big imo

[mild flower]

Sure you get worse pen, but you get infinitely better angle holding and pixel peeking.

which is a big upside only if you play around it

which is why it's specialized

[random nimbus]

Angle holding will go to buckshot because it's not as strict on shot placement

[raven totem]

No jump shot, no one ply wallbangs

[random nimbus]

Slugs will headshot at range tho, so that's where they will do better

[mild flower]

tight angles will just catch half of your pellets and take away your OHK, especially with the pen nerf

whereas with slugs, you can just shoot between the surfaces

and lose no damage

[random nimbus]

Tight angles will see you miss entirely

[mild flower]

how so?

[raven totem]

I think current slug balancing is cheeks ATM over all

[radiant wren]

isnt slug less often a OHK? or no

[mild flower]

only if you hit limbs

[random nimbus]

With slugs, I mean. If I'm holding an angle, I don't want to be in ADS because my FoV is tigher

[raven totem]

Depends on angle

[mild flower]

if you are holding a tight angle, which is the scenario i am suggesting, a tight fov does not matter.

[random nimbus]

I'm also likely going to be flicking more to react and I think most people do that better with something like buckshot vs slugs

[sour fiber]

whats the most glass-cannon-y weapon atm?

[raven totem]

But anywho, drilling hatchet is crazy under rated currently

[mild flower]

a situation where flicking is the appropriate reaction is again not the situation i am proposing

[random nimbus]

I'm a little confused then. Are you holding a hallway?

[mild flower]

imma get a video

partially to further test my claims, but mostly to show what i mean

[mild flower]

holding a tight angle between two surfaces, where if you flick as someone passes by, you will just flick into the surface and not hit the target or lose your ohk penetrating it
and buckshot would just spread out onto the surfaces and lose its ohk

but on the other hand, slugs can shoot as precisely as they want through the angle and not lose any damage

because they are a single projectile

[random nimbus]

That's a very specific scenario, imo. If I'm holding a tight angle like that and cannot afford to pen because I'd lose one tap, I'd just use a pistol and go for a headshot

Or something that won't be as screwed over by a potential pen

[vale copper]

What do you mean by this

Like one shot or get one shot

[mild flower]

the point of using a shotgun is that you dont have to go for a headshot

[vale copper]

Romero is probably the right answer then

[sour fiber]

yeah like long reload with huge damage or something

[vale copper]

Romero then probably

[sour fiber]

ty!

[vale copper]

Since it’s one shot body but you only have 1 bullet

[random nimbus]

But if I'm threading a shot that might remove that one tap potential, then a weapon less affected by pen might be the better call

[mild flower]

here is my video example

[random nimbus]

I'd still have buckshot. You see just how much you have to thread that shot.

[visual quail]

Nerf shotguns when 🙏

[stiff sandal]

will the servers be down for the update?

[random nimbus]

That slug has such a narrow range to kill that it's probably not gonna be a practical killshot unless they're at a window or something where there's no wiggle room

[mild flower]

wdym? it's pretty easy to line up, much easier than a headshot on a moving target like you suggest anyways, i just aim for that long because i am waiting for my recording software to confirm that it is recording

[random nimbus]

Because the target there is likely going to be moving, and you have such a narrow window to actually hit with no pen that it's not really practical, imo

[visual quail]

Wdym by narrow range to kill

[mild flower]

that's why i think slugs support a more passive playstyle. predict where the enemy is GOING to be, then hold an appropriate tight angle accordingly. then just wait for them to run into your LOS and get an easy one tap.

[stiff sandal]

will the servers be down for the update?

[radiant wren]

i have 20 perk points, not sure where to spend them ..using 1865 carbine and lemat pistol, any suggestions? already have vulture and packmule..i ususally go for doctor+phys but idk if thats still the best thing to sink my points into atm

[random nimbus]

Narrow space to not be screwed by pen in the specific shot he's showing

[vale copper]

We are unsure

[visual quail]

Doc + necro + surefoot + dauntless

[vale copper]

Dauntless

Bro he’s new he said I’m p sure

[visual quail]

Oh gotcha I thought you meant in general that’s why I was confused.

[vale copper]

Dauntless is such a hard trait to be good at

[random nimbus]

But buckshot will do that just as well unless they're in the narrow range past buckshot kill, or a headshot

[visual quail]

I didn’t know he was new 😭

[radiant wren]

im not new im just completely ass lmaoooo

[stiff sandal]

will the update be today?

[vale copper]

My bad

[raven totem]

Highly unlikely

[radiant wren]

nah its all good i do ask alot of noob questions, im just starting to try and improve after playing for awhile

[random nimbus]

In this clip, I likely wouldn't take that shot and expect it to kill, I'd let them peak past the wagon where it's just a better shot in general

Or use a weapon that pens better

[stiff sandal]

any info when its going to be?

[raven totem]

Nope

[visual quail]

Tbh dauntless can save you from a nade, but the utility for choke bombs is gg

[raven totem]

We're guessing soon though

[mild flower]

where the enemy will be, just find a lil tight angle or rat hole [pretty common in hunt if you know where to look] and wait. you'll get a much easier one shot than trying to headshot. however, i do think that if you have good enough aim to reliably headshot on a target at this range, slugs aren't so good.

[vale copper]

Shotguns are balanced

[mild flower]

and crossbow is always another pick, so romero slugs are pretty obsolete

[radiant wren]

im gonna try surefoot for the first time, just thought it was for sprnting while throwing things, didnt realize it was for healing as well nice

[mild flower]

ye ok but why are you saying this?

[random nimbus]

Again, buckshot would kill there too.

[vale copper]

I was being sarcastic

[mild flower]

oh, ok my bad

[visual quail]

Surefoot is first pick for every hunter for me.

[vale copper]

No worries it’s kinda hard to convey over text

[random nimbus]

I see no reason to have a slug there when buckshot will do the job just as well.

[radiant wren]

mainly for rotating while healing?

[vale copper]

Typically when you get shot it’s prime time for people to push you or pressure you with explosives sure foot gives you ample time to get away whilest also healing

[visual quail]

Dum dum ammo just popping medkit, rotate and heal, running through the open, nades, chasing ppl with a spear to throw and aim, insta healing before you’re even in cover and not slowing down

Guaranteed value from surefoot since you never have to slow down with it

[mild flower]

this depends on the shotgun

and on rng, which is what slugs tries to minimize

[random nimbus]

I think every full sized shotgun will kill there, and a lot of handcannons

[visual quail]

Why not just use a rifle and click the head 🤔

[random nimbus]

The key difference for slugs and buckshot is the kill range and headshot. The kill range is far less relevant with the buckshot buffs, but the headshot buff for slugs is nice, and the two tap range is still nutty

but if I'm two tapping past one hit kill range, then I'm better off using pretty much anything else

Because slugs don't aimpunch

[unborn vigil]

Sup. Can someone tell me how big a dynamite bundle kills me through the few meters of solid stone? Is it like ignores all obstacles in some radius?

[visual quail]

What???? Is this true? Do you have proof?

[mild flower]

nay.

most shotguns will actually only one shot there if you press your face right against the angle. which makes you a very easy target and exposes your position

[visual quail]

It’s buggy af is the only answer. Buddy killed someone through a floor earlier. If you’re in the radius you’re in danger.

[random nimbus]

Okay, the crown shot had some pellets hit the metal, but even with that very very specific kill range difference, it's nowhere near worth the tradeoff imo

[unborn vigil]

Got it. Thanks

[random nimbus]

I think the average kill range for buckshot is like 12.5m?

Some more

[mild flower]

if you don't play around it, i agree. buckshot is easier to get value out of. but if you play slugs right, you can have some unexpected advantages over the enemy.

[random nimbus]

Slugs kill at 15m on long barrels

[random nimbus]

But are those advantages worth not having buckshot? I would say no

The niche use for slugs is too narrow to really warrant them in most cases

[mild flower]

depends on your playstyle. by the sounds of it, based on yours, definetely not

[dim flax]

is hunt going to be down when the event ends in an hour?

[mild flower]

i do think bow and crossbow make slugs less useful of an option, but they have their audience

some people like going bang bang instead of swoosh swoosh

and dont like the velocity and overall slowness of the bow and xbow

[visual quail]

What about their consistency and lack of rng

[random nimbus]

There's not really any playstyle with consistent applicable situations where a slug will do better more often than not. If you're holding slots like you're crack peeking, then maybe, but that's asking to be blasted anyway

[random nimbus]

Not really as relevant post buffs. Yeah on paper they kill farther and have no RNG, but I don't think most people are towing that line consistently where the slug is needed.

Even some handcannons can one tap very consistently at 11m

And iirc, small slot slugs are 10m one tap cap

[visual quail]

For me the damage being maintained past kill range is much more important because of consistency and two taps, and 25m head taps before rng kicks in

[random nimbus]

The headshot is the biggest thing, imo

Being able to headshot with a slug is very big after they made them all kill, because soft headshots with a slug before was heartbreaking

IIRC, crown slug two taps torso at 45m

[visual quail]

I pretty much always bring slugs unless it’s terminus or Romero, and even Romero I usually have a slug on.

[mild flower]

the playstyle would be gathering information and audio to know where enemies are coming from, and finding a safe little crack to watch that area or to peek it if you know they're there right now. you would probably wanna play stealthy until you get your first pick, so you dont get shot in your lil crack, or rotate to another crack if you are spotted
but this is less broad of a use than buckshot for sure

[random nimbus]

But why would I be using a crown at that range vs an uppercut?

[woven cape]

Nah I'd win

[visual quail]

But yea the two tap is insane. Even with the rng past 25m the body shots are still good enough

[mild flower]

true, on shotguns like the rival and cnk slugs are good for two tapping

[random nimbus]

Buckshot has identical applicable in that situation. An ambush is an ambush

[visual quail]

I mean any of them, even slate or romero, tag with slug, quick swap, finish. Just like a rifle.

[mild flower]

no two tap or headshots if they are just out of range, so less versatile if you find that your initial shot didn't ohk, and you have to be much more exposed to the enemy to make sure your all pellets land compared to shooting through a slug sized crack

[random nimbus]

If you have the jump, why would you take the specific and potentially narrow windowed (literally) shot vs a safe one that will do just as well?

[mild flower]

because in a more open position, someone's teammates can more easily punish you, or someone can punish you if your initial shot didn't kill. through a lil crack, you just slip back a bit

[random nimbus]

Unless you're just WAY out of buckshot range, you will likely kill in a two tap. If you're that far out, you probably could use a sidearm or rifle better

[visual quail]

Tbh in an ambush literally every weapon is almost equal

[mild flower]

and they don't have to have absolutely no idea where you are, just not know what exact crack you're peeking out of

[vale copper]

Me when my non fast fingers sparks hits their body and I stare down the cold barrel of their slate

[random nimbus]

Again, that crack is a very specific shot that isn't really needed in an ambush. If you're ambush is that reliant on a specific window (lol) then it might be a shakey ambush

[vale copper]

https://tenor.com/view/gulp-cat-gif-27257259

[random nimbus]

Most people in higher ELO will be aware of cracks people peek from

[visual quail]

Mfw I take 1 tick of fire damage and get sparks checked before you shoot me

[mild flower]

fair enough. we are repeating points now, i'm ready to agree to disagree

[random nimbus]

And those are often an easy way to get headshot because I'm just gonna slap them with a pistol to check

[visual quail]

Leri do you have proof slugs don’t aim punch

[random nimbus]

I did that a while back before 1896 checking lightning bolts. Shot at a window crack, headshot

They haven't aimpunched in..have they ever?

I had a clip of me getting nearly one tapped by a slug before 1896 and killing the guy with dynamite, but it's on my old PC

[visual quail]

Erm. I’m gonna need some evidence on this lol

[random nimbus]

I just took damage with no aimpunch

[visual quail]

I swear I’ve been aim punched by enough crown slugs this last event

[random nimbus]

Unless that was changed recently or with 1896.

I'd need a person to shooting range with because no shooting test dummies yet

But even posts I'm looking up from 2021 are all vouching that slugs do not aimpunch

[wicked fox]

Me waiting for the next event.

[random nimbus]

Take Google AI with as much salt as necessary

[rose elm]

Is the event over? Or is there still time to finish it? 😄

[gleaming niche]

yeah 36 minutes is enough time i think

[wicked fox]

I’ve found slugs to be good for headshots but buckshot is just nasty work. Its power should not be underestimated.

[mild flower]

the buckshot buff was a bit extreme for medium slot shotguns specifically

[radiant wren]

will we lose hunters with the update if they have event perks

[mild flower]

how much does first bounty extraction bonus give again

20% extra hunt dollars and exp?

[wicked fox]

There was a time when I actually assumed slugs were better.

[quiet holly]

Yep

[mild flower]

they used to be in a lot of scenarios. so, depending on when that time was, reasonable

used to be far better than buck on things like the drilling and lemat variants

[short halo]

Drilling was a very brief time as it's spread was bugged for 1 patch. Otherwise, its a Romero

[mild flower]

meanwhile, lemat buckshot was terrible for a while lol

[scenic grove]

do we know when the next event is dropping? 2 Weeks?

[lofty sinew]

we do not. but thats the general ballpark

plus or minus a week or two

[wicked fox]

Romero is a beast.

[full jungle]

Never

[scenic grove]

okay. thanks

[buoyant kayak]

are servers going down now? I didnt find any posts regarding that 🙁

[lofty sinew]

they're gonna go down at some point today I guess. shrug

[jagged parcel]

I just.. bought the 15 levels, XD
I REALLY wanted that lemat skin.

Couldn’t care less about the rest of it

[vale copper]

Oh wow

[ancient cave]

Vro...

[vale copper]

Fanning is going to work on medium slot pistols now

[ancient cave]

[vale copper]

What

I don’t think it’ll be that good tbh

[ionic apex]

do i gotta wait for my game to update since the season is over or can i play now

[ancient cave]

It doesn't have to be that good

[vale copper]

It’ll be better than it was ofc but I don’t think it was that good to begin with

[ancient cave]

Quarter is already the meta

Why give it more benefits

[vale copper]

Sigmamaster

[mild flower]

quarter is meta because of medium slot shotguns. precision pistol fanning won't effect that.

[full jungle]

Oh wow now we can fan with medium slot pistols

Game changing

[solar cove]

WE CAN FAN THE HAYMAKER NOW YEE HAW

[full jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-stare-funny-funny-cat-funny-cat-staring-gif-5991461082324993255

[full jungle]

Nuh uh

[oblique nacelle]

good question actually

[radiant wren]

ugh what pistols are medium slot

[mild flower]

haymayker might see more use though

[full jungle]

The pistols with stocks

I doubt we can fan the haymaker

[radiant wren]

oh!! wow!

[vale copper]

Any precision guns

[radiant wren]

so theyll be good at close range and long now

[ancient cave]

They added a whole new effect to it that did not previously exist we have no clue how it'll effect.

It's a benefit to quarter simple as

[solar cove]

Low key did not see ppl use this much but rip bladmancer otherwise YEE HAW

[vale copper]

Wait

So they didn’t keep corpse seer

[mild flower]

Sure, but the people who use quarter for the medium slot shotguns will not benefit from this. and the medium slot shotguns are the problem.

precision pistols aren't good, it really doesn't matter for the qm meta

[vale copper]

Top ten sad moments

[full jungle]

Medium pistol fanning has been in the game for 90 days and nobody has ever talked about other then the first 5 days

[solar cove]

It's not that op

[ancient cave]

Because you needed 2 traits to function it and gunrunner was the bigger issue

[solar cove]

I expected it to be fast on compact ammo but ehh it's fine

It can stay

Rip Gunrunner tho

[mild flower]

even with no gunrunner qm with medium slot shotguns is meta

[solar cove]

Hoping Bladmancer comes back

[ancient cave]

I am aware of the shotgun meta

That does not mean you should buff the trait more

[solar cove]

Not really, it's more of Bow, Shotgun, Medium size stuff and dualies

[quartz fiber]

is the event out of the game now?

[vale copper]

Bow meta?

[radiant wren]

i hope they remove the chu ko nu from the game, its not OP i just hate it

[ancient cave]

Yes

[solar cove]

Yes it's a silent shotgun with a bit more range and deadly on cqc

[vale copper]

XD

[mild flower]

dualies? meta?

[solar cove]

Explosive get rid of it the default can stay

[vale copper]

I played against a duo earlier with 2 cho ko nus each and explosive shots and 4 ammo boxes each

[outer iron]

whoops almost doxxed my homeboys

last round of the event got 5 kills. a good day.

[chilly shell]

Is the next event going to happen soon?

[solar cove]

The lemat spice dual shotgun and compact spam, the Double Nagant officer ans etc

[velvet agate]

Lmao, they actually keep fanning for 2 slot pistol

[ancient cave]

The song for the event drops on the 23rd so like prolly 2 weeks after thst or so

[solar cove]

Dualies in the right hands is fucking nuts

[pure flicker]

Cant use my mouse while walking but works just fine when I open the map or menu - wtf???
Any ideas how to fix?

[solar cove]

Alt tab

[crystal basalt]

LF1 NAE - https://discord.gg/tb32f7wt

[brittle fossil]

Kinda forgot the event was still going ngl

[solar cove]

Wrong channel bud

[vale copper]

#na bro

[vale copper]

Dual pistols?

I guess it depends

[crystal basalt]

SORRY

[vale copper]

Dual dolches are kinda nuts

[solar cove]

The officer is nuts doubled so

Idk

[vale copper]

Oh true

[rustic oyster]

Why do I have a locked challenge?

[vale copper]

Officer doubled is nuts

[solar cove]

Depending on the hunter shooting me the shotgun meta ain't that popular

[rustic oyster]

that rewards event points

[solar cove]

Huh

Weird

[vale copper]

Wdym by this

[ancient cave]

Battlepass but probably also cuz the event is over

The ui is buggy as usual :)

[solar cove]

Ppl seem to think that a shotgun secondary is the meta nowdays

[rose elm]

Did you buy the battlepass for the between-the-events time frame? 😄

[vale copper]

It is tho

[dim raft]

I mean, shotguns ARE really good, at all elos as well

[solar cove]

Like yknow the Sniper Mosin w/ Spitzer with romero

[rustic oyster]

Shotgun primary rifle secondary 😌

[solar cove]

Been seeing a lot of bows at secondary tho it's been diverse

[rustic oyster]

Lifetime subscription event pass

[solar cove]

Follow drum user ys

Yes*

[dim raft]

That doesn't make shotguns any less good, people just like playing bow~

[rustic oyster]

both offer 1 hit torso kill

[solar cove]

true but it's been diverse recently and that awesome

[rose elm]

I love how the 1886 UI became such a meme that no one is even surprised anymore to see bugs

[rustic oyster]

or springfield striker 🙃

[solar cove]

Nah this ain't about stats or whichever is better it's been diverse and that awesome

[solar cove]

NOW UR TALKIN'

[dim raft]

Oh for sure yeah, it's nice.

[vale copper]

Is Springfield dummy rounds like that good

[rustic oyster]

dumdum because i aint one

[vale copper]

Why is it played so much

[ancient cave]

The ui has ALWAYS been buggy for me. I've had like consistent 20 bugs on the old UI it was fucked up. I was so excited for the new ui and got monkey pawed

[rustic oyster]

yes with a good sidarm

[wicked fox]

And I was hoping Fanning for the Haymaker would remain in the game.

[solar cove]

Although having a Rival and Handcanon romero all with pennyshot is the funniest door buster killer I've every tried

[rustic oyster]

Id be okay with that, it wasnt broken

[dim raft]

It IS in the game still, and yeah, it's not amazing

[vale copper]

Hmm

[solar cove]

Goodness this man is insane, hell yeah

[wicked fox]

It’s broken?

[rustic oyster]

no, i said "it wasnt"

[vale copper]

Thinking about a Springfield with Drilling hatchet secondary and fmj rounds on the drilling

[rose elm]

Cool, they DID leave the 2-slot fanning! Not that it's so very useful, but still a nice touch

[wicked fox]

Oh, ok. 👌🏼

[rose elm]

I'm gonna miss the Catalyst anyway

[rustic oyster]

drilling without dumdum is heresy

[ancient cave]

It's very obviously meta by yhe fact crytek doesn't change it and would rather give it another benefit

Mosin change history 💔

[daring aurora]

Well it does?

[rustic oyster]

It was just, okay

[dim raft]

It's like semi-fun on Uppercut Precision with the Fanningshot into ADS shot, but besides that it's not GOOD, just fun

[vale copper]

Yeah but if I have dum dum Springfield I don’t need dum dum drilling

I need the ability to penetrate if I hit a dum dum Springfield

[rustic oyster]

spring has 2 ammo slots

[wicked fox]

Haymaker packs a punch. 🤜🏼

[rustic oyster]

split your ammo. use the spring ammo in the drilling

[vale copper]

You have to reload before you can swap ammo types it’s faster to swap to the drilling

[solar cove]

It's was a fun event tho

I forgot we have to kill a lot of ppl to get the judge to win lol

[rustic oyster]

now, if you use a hatchet drilling with a spring deadeye

[vale copper]

😭

I’m never using a sniper scope

Unless I’m broke and I have a free one

[solar cove]

Fr?

[rustic oyster]

my thought was to use the spring to pierce cover after tagging withthe drilling

[solar cove]

It works wonders

[rose elm]

Exactly, fun! That's why I'm happy about it. The only weapons I found it to be somehow useful are the nagant P and nagant P deadeye. (Still no comparison to hand cannons of course)

[vale copper]

Hmm

Maybe

But still I don’t wanna use a sniper scope

[rustic oyster]

deadeye isnt that bad

[ancient cave]

The community event reward is buying skins and killing off one of the cooler characters they've released recently in an instant(would've applied to fool too)

[dim raft]

I'm always down for fun, we have enough META weapons as is xD

[vale copper]

It’s bad enoguh

[knotty obsidian]

Finally the event is over. Way too long

[rose elm]

Btw, has anyone seen the mosin obrez match in the game? Like.. ever? 😄

[dapper falcon]

The event is over and now it feels like back in the day when you had the most epic sleepover ever and ur friend has to leave

😭😂

[vale copper]

That’s the shortened one right

[outer iron]

I liked the event. Will the center area be removed? That was a fun place for fights.

[vale copper]

The 2 slot one

[dim raft]

I use it quite often as a 2 slot secondary, yes

[dapper falcon]

Just a basic screen now

[vale copper]

It’s a decent enough gun

Especially if you wanna use a shotgun primary

Like the slate or auto

[rose elm]

The long version of the short version, but still shorter than the long version

[vale copper]

Mosin obrez is a very solid secondary

[dapper falcon]

Mosin obrez deadeye is goated

[dim raft]

Extended variant is also nice for ammo reserve if you wanna just spam Krag/Mosin etc

[dapper falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[rose elm]

Not the obrez. Obrez match. The normal obrez is solid

[vale copper]

Me when I hear a sniper scope

[solar cove]

Match is weird addition

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/sml-jeffy-monster-energy-energy-drink-supermariologan-gif-6382005860226296275

[vale copper]

😡

[rustic oyster]

match+winniestriker paired ammo, the match now has infinite ammo hacks

[grave rose]

Better yet sniper infantry with HV and silenced Bornheim with HV

[mild flower]

obrez match is a 3 slot

[granite blade]

i knew catalyst fanning would become normal fanning :v

[grave rose]

Where did ya see that cran

[true briar]

SIlly question but do guns get dirtier during gameplay? because I swear they do

[woven cape]

Fini obrez drum with a billion boolets

[mild flower]

yes

[woven cape]

They get dirty when you die once

[grave rose]

Didn't read this

[mild flower]

you can clean them with gun oil

[woven cape]

Yes like 3 years ago

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/to-the-depths-with-you-gif-11860707806614162387

[mild flower]

but it serves no funcitonality

[mild flower]

did they remove gun oil??

[woven cape]

Gun oil serves to unlock variants of your weapon

All weapons are cleaned when you return to the main menu

[mild flower]

it doesnt clean anymore? oh man

[mild flower]

oh man

was kind of a cool immersion aspect

[granite blade]

only got posted 30 minutes ago and not an @ everyone either so its understandable :v

[woven cape]

I'm too strong for the depths

[true briar]

[woven cape]

There was an @ but you don't have that role

[grave rose]

I'll keep dragging you down

[woven cape]

[granite blade]

i do

and so do they actually

[woven cape]

HMM

[grave rose]

Probably didn't see it

[woven cape]

[pure flicker]

Would like a small mechanic around that... you get downed, your weapon is dirty and jams 10% of shots
you can bring a toolkit to clean the weapon...
something like that

[woven cape]

NO

[grave rose]

I would be fine with that

[woven cape]

Don't randomly jam guns, game is bad enough

[grave rose]

Just to annoy marsh

[pure flicker]

its not random, its because your weapon is dirty... just dont get downed or clean it

[woven cape]

They should have a mechanic where after you get downed of you got shot in the arm you aim worse

[pure flicker]

since getting downed is so what ever nowadays, it would actually benefit a little little bit

[woven cape]

Or you lose an eye so can only see half the screen

Or if you got hit in the leg you're slowed and have to bring bandages and make a splint

And you can pass out from the pain

[granite blade]

shot in the leg -50% move speed until full heal

[woven cape]

Yes yes

[pure flicker]

soooo... DayZ?

[woven cape]

Yes just make the game dayz

[grave rose]

I wouldn't mind the more you get done. The slower ur character is

[granite blade]

DayZ 1896

[woven cape]

I disagree

[lofty sinew]

oh yeah, lets turn the game into the ultimate jogging simulator. just what it needs

[woven cape]

We're playing as superhumans

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/illgetyou-accident-gif-9654841

[pure flicker]

sounds like something a floor hugger would say

[woven cape]

Game is already giga slow, let's not slow it down more

[grave rose]

Honestly I can't say shit after the last 2 days of hunt I'm takin a break until new event comes out

[pure flicker]

it aint, just not as stupidly fast as Call of duty

[woven cape]

I already watch YouTube on a second monitor because nothing happens in this game

[grave rose]

Probably farm up SC on HD2 before they break it more

[pure flicker]

maybe make something happen? i dont get people complaining about the game being "slow" - it depends on your own playstyle xD

[woven cape]

My solution was to just stop playing the game and I haven't really missed it

I just miss the peepos from here

[grave rose]

I mean most folk do play like slow rats while the good players push

Which honestly thinking of going back to my ratty ways when I return ngl

@woven cape you gonna be on in like an hour or 3

[pure flicker]

Both ways of playing are fine, just dont complain about the consequences headding your way

[woven cape]

No I'll be at work

Then I will play Age of Empires uwu

[grave rose]

Mid late oct

[robust lion]

L

[sinful aurora]

we will see, keep an eye out on announcements

[robust lion]

we dont like vanilla

[woven cape]

But when thooo

[robust lion]

i like chocolate

[sinful aurora]

[grave rose]

You don't like vanilla I love it

[grave rose]

Hey silly

[ionic apex]

are u able to fan dual pistols

[sinful aurora]

there is all kinds of speculations, but no one here knows actually when it will be.

[sinful aurora]

Haaaai

[grave rose]

No

[grave rose]

Let me ask you something

[sinful aurora]

no, lol how would that work? XD

[grave rose]

Why are you no longer eater of hats

[sinful aurora]

all hats have been eaten

now i hoard treasures

[slender timber]

[grave rose]

See frog sillys a tyrant this why we must overthrow em

[ionic apex]

oh i thought it was talent

was it for the 2 space pistols instead

[slender timber]

been saying this for weeks
noone believed me!!

[sinful aurora]

you need two hands to fan a pistol
so you would need 4 hands to fan two pistols

[grave rose]

Twas the perk

[velvet agate]

No more event but there is still 1000 Event point challenge

[slender timber]

secret invisible event??

[sinful aurora]

restarting the game should solve most of these oddities.

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/snl-saturday-night-live-saturday-night-live-gifs-ryan-gosling-time-and-space-gif-9682437

I've become one with the rat

[uneven flume]

Holy shit I got 140k and thought thats a lot lol

Do the challenges align with vanilla/event duration? They normally do right?

[velvet agate]

Yes, yes they are

[uneven flume]

So 5 weeks vanilla?

[cyan bluff]

aw event is over... imma miss catalyst and gunrunner so bad

[velvet agate]

Welp, fanning is around

[grave rose]

Gunrunner was a plague upon this game again

[cyan bluff]

gunrunner was awesome wdym

[cyan bluff]

and?

[grave rose]

literally almost every game was mosin C&K

[cyan bluff]

I actually didnt see that many mosins

also C&K is meh

[raw pulsar]

the changes to fanning is utter bs in my opinion

[grave rose]

Doesn't change the fact that it was long with shotguns most of the time

[cyan bluff]

lots of shotties for sure along with rifles

[grave rose]

Not healthy for the game

[cyan bluff]

but alteast it allowed more shotties on both sides, so more chances of storming compounds

[velvet summit]

Quartermaster and auto4 still exists

[cyan bluff]

so annoying when you got a rifle team camping outside a shottie team camping inside

[grave rose]

You know there is a difference between C&K & SC&K

[wicked fox]

By Mistake

[velvet agate]

You can also have more variety with Gunrunner

[cyan bluff]

what did they do to fanning?

[velvet agate]

Also, I want TRUE GUNRUNNER back

[velvet agate]

They kept the catalyst fanning

[dire mango]

What ping makes me go into the high ping lobbies?

[velvet agate]

Huh?

[cyan bluff]

as in?

[grave rose]

Theres a reason why they changed the og Quartermaster to what it is now for a reason

[velvet agate]

Yeah

[dire mango]

Did they remove it? When your ping is too high, you get put into bad ping player lobbies so you cant ping abuse / play from other regions (china)

[velvet agate]

That why I want the OG gun runner

[grave rose]

Well it ain't coming back so enjoy dreamin

[cyan bluff]

I dont understand what it is you mean they kept with fanning?

[velvet agate]

They kept fanning for 2 slot pistol

[true ruin]

it’s useless

[cyan bluff]

ah, and so what, not like its that effective for it anyway

[true ruin]

any news about next event?

24th sept?

[grave rose]

Most likely mid late oct

Not confirmed tho

[cyan bluff]

I do wish they would do a major change to bullet drop though, making it purely velocity dependant, is so odd right now how long ammo just drops more period

[proven raptor]

It’s more to balance it a bit. That’s a rare occasion where long ammo don’t have as much davantage.

[fleet dove]

when's the new battlepass dropping?

[proven raptor]

No date for now.

[grave rose]

Mid late Oct my guess not confirmed

[fleet dove]

never seen a game be battlepass-less for a long period

:9

[tall canopy]

its normal in hunt

[grave rose]

Some folk wouldn't survive early days of hunt

[proven raptor]

The Tide trilogy also had little vanilla time and people got kinda burned out of events.

[tall canopy]

so judgement of the fool seems to be my most played event looking at the amount of event points i got 😄

[grave rose]

How many did you get? Apa

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-christ-dude-south-park-e1802-kyle-broflovski-jesus-christ-bro-gif-20593212

[lofty sinew]

where do you even see those stats

[tall canopy]

when u start the game after the event ends

[sinful aurora]

i thought i would have at least 200k points lol.
but makes sense i didn't play much recently,

[tall canopy]

damn

i wish i never deleted the old summaries

[sinful aurora]

i wish i had a screenshot of how much i got during serpents moon.

[tall canopy]

haha

[sinful aurora]

must have been a lot

[tall canopy]

only have the last 7 events. maybe i posted them in some discord

[velvet agate]

Didnt play much?

[sinful aurora]

yeah

[tall canopy]

recently

[velvet trellis]

whens new event ?

[grave rose]

Soon™

[velvet trellis]

love it

[tall canopy]

keep an eye on #general-announcements

[winter lark]

Can’t understand the time between the events. The active players dropping for sure. And in October/ December there are some new competitors coming out

[tall canopy]

now that the event is over and they already teased the next event i dont think well have to wait too long, but thats just my guess

[lofty sinew]

it's been this way for 7+ years, hunt will be fine. don't fret.

[tall canopy]

best thing is not to always look out for new potential competitors. last year there were other "potential competitors" and in the end nothing happened

[winter lark]

Yea and if some game come out which is close to hunt the players will try the new, because of the low and slow content of hunt

[lofty sinew]

did you miss the 7 years part or what

[winter lark]

In the last years there where no close competitor

[proven raptor]

Also tbh rushing for more content is just a good way to exhaust your playerbase.

[lofty sinew]

That is just, demonstratably not true

but, feel free to get anxious about Hunts future I guess

I don't want to shock you but I play other games and often investigate new ones

still here.

[tall canopy]

the were ofc other games that some called "hunt killers" or strong competitors like Dark and Darker, Grayzone Warfare, Arena Breakout infinite, Delta Force, Forever Winter, etc and none of those games did anything to hunt

the upcoming are different than hunt and more like eft

[lofty sinew]

Arc Raiders is the only vaguely adjacent game coming out any time soon. Will that take some players for a while? probably. Will it matter? doubt it.

[tall canopy]

arc raiders imo wont have as big of an impact to hunt, maybe temporarily, hunger is more eft than hunt

marathon is ded

[grave rose]

Marathon

[winter lark]

Yea I also play hunt for years, but my reason to come back again is, the other games are quite different. Faster etc. but some day a game will come that is an alternative. In my opinion hint need some more goals to achieve while playing. The prestige system is worthless after a few

[tall canopy]

also arc is more eft than hunt too

[lofty sinew]

idk Arc got decent buzz and looked like it was not total slop. We havent seen anything about Hunger yet really. I see nothing on the horizon that is going to give what Hunt does.

[tall canopy]

also lets not forget that other western extraction shooter that immediatly died

closest one to hunt imo

[lofty sinew]

that is bringing up the very faintest of memories. what was it called?

[spark plaza]

amogus

[sinful aurora]

that's the thing with games being in it's own niche, remotely similar games are not direct competition but more competition in a broader sense. Every game, even games in completely different genres have the possibility to draw players away, but even things which are not even games do.
i don't see any direct competitor in Hunts niche rn.

[winter lark]

I am curios for hunger. If they do there job well, it could catch some hunt players

[tall canopy]

idk

[grave rose]

I hope hunger does well hunt needs competition

[cyan bluff]

doesnt seem necessary, bullet drop was added mainly to stop across map sniping, which it will still do. Right now long ammo has too many downsides, it makes no sense it has more arbitrary drop. Should just be based on velocity only, would also make it less confusing what drop many weapons have. Right now compact ammo gets too many advantages, like capacity, drop, ROF and ammo restock, with only dmg drop off really being a disadvantage.

[tall canopy]

again, the whole gameplay loop of Hunger matches efts gameplay loop and not hunts

[lofty sinew]

Hunts playerbase isn't big enough, and the genre niche not broad enough for any significant developer to target this niche deliberately.

[sinful aurora]

i heard things about hunger, and nothing of what i heard was appealing in any way lol.

[spark plaza]

It was closer to Tarkov gameplay wise than hunt.

[tired mica]

Hi guys

[spark plaza]

amogus

[tall canopy]

yeah but the setting was nearly the same

[lofty sinew]

Do we actually know anything about the Hunger gameplay loop? I was under the impression there have just been vague teasers so far. Are they doing closed alphas or something

[tall canopy]

go into map, find specific loot on the maps, go into dungeosn with keys u find, defeat tiny bosses on the map for quest.

just like in tarkov

[lofty sinew]

I got a more arcadey vibe from it anyway, in the "I don't think it is going to focus on gunplay in the way Hunt does" vibes

[sinful aurora]

afaik also gear quality having a much more heavy impact in the outcome of a fight from what i heard

[tall canopy]

nah, watch some of the Psychoghost videos about hunger, there the gameplay loop is also explained

[spark plaza]

Mega fucking sleep 😴💤

[sinful aurora]

yeaah

[slow thunder]

So real for that

[lofty sinew]

yeah i assumed Hunger would have gearing for whatever reason

[tall canopy]

its just another eft

[spark plaza]

I swear extraction shooters only copy Tarkov

[tall canopy]

eft is getting more competitors than hunt

and even those dont do well

[lofty sinew]

I mean, when Tarkov has been such a runaway success, and BSG such an exemplory developer, it's very easy to understand 🤡

[sinful aurora]

companies copying eft, not even questioning the mechanics or changing much and keep all the things which make eft highly unappealing to many players.

[spark plaza]

I shit on hunt devs but man, BSG truly is dogshit

[lofty sinew]

BSG is on a whole other level to most developers

(a much lower one)

[spark plaza]

Still not as bad as DBD lvls tho

[lofty sinew]

idk anything about DBD but would say I felt that would have to be an achievement of sorts. I guess there is sort of a hall of fame in that regard

7dtd devs should be in there too probs

[spark plaza]

Elite ball knowledge

[tall canopy]

there are not that much cool companies at all atm imo

[mild flower]

what about this cool game called hunt: showdown 1896

[lofty sinew]

yes it's true, the industry is not in a mostly kicking goals era

[spark plaza]

[whole mist]

Insane range of motion

[velvet summit]

could be refreshing to be honest, seasonal migration between the two - when hunt has an event, people play that, when hunger has an event, people move over to that and give hunt time to work on new stuff

[shadow fulcrum]

When comes new Season ?

[tall canopy]

no official date yet, keep an eye on #general-announcements

[velvet summit]

in-game has like 5 weeks of challenges lined up? that gives me an idea new event is in 5 weeks from now

[tall canopy]

4 weeklies rn, but that does not have to mean anything

[shadow fulcrum]

B cause i want Play IT again on Xbox u never find any Player

Thats too Bad

[velvet summit]

was it previously cut short when an event starts? never paid attention

[tall canopy]

they can cut them, but there are usually 4 event starts a year and were at 2 rn. so most winter events start in december before christmas and the next event is the halloween event.

[sinful aurora]

afaik it only shows the 4 slots because that's the maximum it can display.
afaik there was also brief episodes with no weeklies at all before an event started.

[tall canopy]

and its nearly october

[shadow fulcrum]

🙁

[tall canopy]

again dont worry, keep an eye on #general-announcements all we said here is pure speculation. it could start next week, or in 4 weeks

[grave rose]

no so bad

[velvet summit]

i wonder if the playerbase takes that much of an impact though

[shadow fulcrum]

Okay but still matchmaking Not good If people dont find any Match After hours of searching

[tall canopy]

wdym?

[velvet summit]

on vanilla hunt vs event

[tall canopy]

of course it will like every time this happens

[velvet agate]

What BSG?

[grave rose]

There's a drop

[tall canopy]

battle state games

devs of tarkov

[mild flower]

fyi to anyone who was wondering they did make haymaker fannable. not the fastest though

more accurate than i expected

[lofty sinew]

player numbers always drop during non-event period, as you would expect. it's not huge though

[velvet agate]

They kept the catalyst fanning after the event

[mild flower]

yeah, i know. but some people were assuming that haymaker wouldn't be applicable.

[lofty sinew]

Haymaker is the only truly fun catalyst fanning gun. Precisions are for sweating. Haymakers are for fun

[velvet agate]

Its mosly useless anyway

[mild flower]

they thought theyd just keep it for precisions

[sinful aurora]

ihmo haymaker fanning is bordering to useless lol

[tall canopy]

nagant p huh

[frigid ibex]

People keep saying they think hunger will be melee focused.
Did I watch stuff from an alternative reality where I only saw semi auto guns?

[velvet agate]

Huh? The describtion is description single action pistol...

[mild flower]

in honest my opinion

[frigid ibex]

Playing a lot of shooters it doesn't look melee focused at all

[lofty sinew]

I want to give it an exception, but being real, the nagant p is a budget sweat 😛

[tall canopy]

did u see any gameplay leaks from the playtests?

[velvet agate]

Why would it not applicable

[frigid ibex]

No just the public trailer

[sinful aurora]

lol, typo xD

[mild flower]

yeah idk people were saying they wouldnt keep it for haymaker

[lofty sinew]

dunno why they would think that considering it's probably the weakest fanning catalyst gun

[velvet agate]

Like I said, how? Or people saying that just dont know how to read

[mild flower]

thought it was an exception ig?

[tall canopy]

i wouldnt say mostly semi weapons. mostly one shot weapons, meele and some weapon with mags

[lofty sinew]

maybe i've seen Rachta use haymaker fanning with some success, but he can make any weapon work.

[frigid ibex]

Catalyst fanning is probably the weakest event trait that got carried over besides the one that let's you see sound in dark sight in a good while.

[mild flower]

i never used it, but can you explain why precisions are sweating? how do they outclass something like a levering rifle?

[mild flower]

but it's one of the funnest for sure

[lofty sinew]

oh they don't, to my mind i just correlate using precision pistols with sweatier players generally.

[velvet summit]

why haymaker, lemat's big brother, not have it if lemat has fanning? ppl are weird lol

[mild flower]

really? precision pistols kinda seem like a meme to me

[mild flower]

big heavy hammer hard to fan maybe

[frigid ibex]

Its nice we're not getting something that changes the much needed core traits, like surefoot

Instantly became S++ tier

I prefer when traits are just niche use cases

Surefoot with a 10/10 consistent use case

[mild flower]

yes, traits should be upgrades to a certain playstyle. not an overall buff no matter what you do

most of the problematic traits seem to be the things that break that [nonexistant] rule

[jagged parcel]

I was just listening to “let us prey” again, and I’ve only just noticed they’ve been foreshadowing the judgment of the fool, AND the next event since that song, lol. That’s pretty cool.

[tall canopy]

also the empress event?

if yes feel free to share 😄

[jagged parcel]

Yeah! One of the lyrics is “the 6 of swords, the Empress”
Right after mentioning the garden of the witch and the judgement of the fool.

I mean- it COULD just be a tarot reference, but I’d like to imagine it’s referring to the next event.

Seems like something they’d do.

[mild flower]

[this is one of the reasons i dislike defensive traits like salveskin, because they're not a buff to your certain playstyle, they're a nerf to the enemy's]

[jagged parcel]

And we do know there’s more tarot stuff coming!

[sinful aurora]

the current event triology is called the tarot triology and the empress event is the third of the triology

[rapid crystal]

so someone actually noticed

[jagged parcel]

Oh really? Huh. Neat!

[sinful aurora]

yup!

so, good catch

interesting that no one mentioned it before

[jagged parcel]

Mhm! I like the music a lot haha~

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/d23z5tG4b0J.gif

"So you finally figured it out.."

[sinful aurora]

it's like itwas in front of us all the time

[tall canopy]

still hope for new event trailes very soon 👀

[jagged parcel]

Im actually getting pretty excited for the next event, now. The artwork is very cool.

[tall canopy]

hope we get cool new equipment

[lofty sinew]

I'm just hoping the tarot cards thing introduces some new and weird stuff

[rapid crystal]

i wonder if it's possible to get any specifics if dig a bit deeper

[jagged parcel]

A lot of the music is used as another view on the story. I imagine we will get more when that next track comes out, but yes- the older tracks especially are very good for linking with the story.

It’s been a while.. what was the latest song? The Fool, right?

[rapid crystal]

need to double check all of them now lol

[jagged parcel]

You definitely should. They’re good!
The tide trilogy of songs especially are very good. They all link together.

[rapid crystal]

i believe so

[jagged parcel]

I’ll take a look at that one next, then. It really has been a while, XD

[dusk nebula]

Quick question: if I skip the end of event stat screen, can I open it again?

[rapid crystal]

the new one was anounced tho but not out yet

[jagged parcel]

I expect the next event will drag me back in properly… they seem to be going back on the path I loved the game for, back before the post Malone event, so I’m very excited

[tall canopy]

nope

[jagged parcel]

Yes! I saw it, I’ve got it pre-saved already xD

[rapid crystal]

pre malone era was better

[jagged parcel]

In my opinion, at least. But then again- I REALLY didn’t like the Malone era, lol. So I’m looking forward to things now they seem to be going back in the right direction:)

But that’s just me

The SONGS were good, though!

[rapid crystal]

i wonder how many people got traumatized by shredder during the event

[tall canopy]

after the nerf, noone 😄

[rapid crystal]

solos spesifically

[frigid ibex]

Survey showed murder circus being the most enjoyed event the past 12 months
