hunt-general

[hazy crest]

I don’t think there are twitch drop rn

[fathom shale]

If there was one it would be announced in #general-announcements

[sullen trellis]

Is there a way for community members to speak with devs or something?

Regarding the issue we spoke about

[random nimbus]

First match of the day has 2 solos ratting around

One with all dragons breath that nearly burned my teammate out on first death just from fire damage

[hazy crest]

that guy knows how to have fun

it’s not about killing the enemy it’s about ruining their day

[random nimbus]

I farmed him lol

[sullen trellis]

At this point ive been trying to fix this issue for 3 hours and its not even refundable

[random nimbus]

And we won the match because my teammate in question and I used our restoration shots and got him to 125

And the last person was a solo that I've run into before that likes to be a tumor spamming frag arrows into places

[hazy crest]

It’s probably a pc specs issue. This game is really demanding for unknown reasons

[pine rose]

It's already pretty solid, tbh

Ever since they made it work on ranged kills

And it works through poison

[hazy crest]

I’ve literally never picked ghoul. Mid ass perk with how much people kill all the ai in boss compound

[night inlet]

Ewh

[hazy crest]

I think that is the intended effect

[ancient cave]

you're just jealous

[random nimbus]

Ghoul was useless with Witness around anyway

But that's getting nerfed

[hazy crest]

witness is trash now unless you’re desperate for money

[random nimbus]

If it stays 5 points, then yeah it's not worth it imo

[hazy crest]

it’s 4

Still not worth

[random nimbus]

Ehhhh I'd still not take it at that price

Seeing bodies is very nice, but not 4 points nice

[uneven flume]

Nah witness is not trash. Not worth 4 points maybe but def not bad Id say

[ancient cave]

because it's secured in a container like it supposed to be

I am a responsible alpha wolf

[hazy crest]

I remember that reference but can’t place where from

Enlighten me

ah steamed eggs and ham

Idk where tf I got eggs it’s just ham

[chilly raven]

Hopefully the new update fixes the matchmaking discrepancy. A team of 3 stars facing off against a server of 5 and 6 stars is ridiculous.

[hazy crest]

It will for a short while simply because of the player count increase

Matchmaking get more and more lenient as events wane

[vital carbon]

is there a way to me xbox game pass and a friend steam play together hes 6 star rated and i never played

[stone basin]

Im so very happy my random got mad at me for sitting here for about 10 seconds waiting for the person in the cave to come out of it so they threw a lantern at me and tried to tk my other teamate so fun.

[hazy crest]

No. There is no crossplay

[knotty obsidian]

Probably ten minutes

[urban steppe]

yeahhh I think I'm not touching hunt until the event is out

single 3 on a premade?
shove the whole double 6 star trio into the lobby

I'm 100% certain matchmaking for a pre-made is entirely dependant on the lowest ranked guy on the squad

[crystal bay]

Nah to the last part

But that is an unfortunate spread

I've played in a trio with 2 6* and a 2* and it was like 5.5* matchmaking

[stone basin]

Nope in the entire clip I sat down there for 15 seconds then teammate runs over and throws a lantern on me and then a second later shoots at our other mate and even if it is 10 minutes why not just say over gamechat “hey guys lets just leave they aren’t coming out anytime soon and we have both bounties” instead of idk griefing?

Or I got one better just ping towards the exit everyone gets that no need to teamkill it’s just never necessary every really

[urban steppe]

The solo 6 had a mmr of 3

that makes even less sense

[raven totem]

I feel like this has been the way for a good while now

[raven totem]

Ya solo modifier is wild, I feel bad playing solo right now

[crystal bay]

I feel like it has typically always been the higher MMR people drag the lower up more than the lower mmr drags em down

[crystal bay]

Match MMR has been wonky a bit recently

[urban steppe]

The modifiers makes no sense at all
solo 6 goes into a 3 lobby and obliterates everyone

you can have 2+ 6s in a 3 lobby as long as the third guy is a 3 or lower

[crystal bay]

I don't know if it has to do with the "loss streaks" also affecting match MMR or what

[mortal basin]

Doesn’t seem to

For me at least

[crystal bay]

Fr fr

[urban steppe]

and then
I derank from 4 to 3
because I get genuine 3s as team mates
while they get 6s

[crystal bay]

We can test it out this friday/saturday

surely

[mortal basin]

Surely

[novel grove]

That just means one guys has been winning a lot. sometimes i get 5+ match mmr playing with my low elo friends. When it's above 5 I've been spitting on lobbies when it's below 5 I've been getting spit on.

even in random lobbies in 6* I'll get matched with let's say blueish. me and blueish have like an 85% win rate together in 6* as randoms. it can put literally anyone 1-6 on our team and we'll be at minimum a 5.5

[stone basin]

Randoms try not to go afk or grief challenge. level impossible and will never be completed in all of humanity’s lifetime

[icy elbow]

why does this seem to be so much more prevalent on console

[urban steppe]

big issue is the fact that you still derank when you get put in these stacked lobbies far beyond your ranking

ultimately dooming you to the elo hell of 3-4
the moment you remotely try to climb out

the game will match you with randoms of your level

but the lobby won't be 😆

[stone basin]

Cause there are 2 stereotypes. Number 1 PS5 players who just hate their randoms no matter what and will go out of their way to hate you for any small thing and 2 Xbox players who are just OLD and have kids so they just go afk at random times to take care of their kids or go eat dinner

[novel grove]

everyone below 6* is bad. do not blame your team members. I'm not sure what youre trying to say with your derank post but you are the reason you are 4-3 in the first place. you shouldn't be focused on mmr in the first place. either play for fun or play to self improve or both (:

blep.

[empty eagle]

everyone is bad*

:)

except vlad

[jovial knoll]

nah i'm pretty goated (tonight) ngl

[novel grove]

im perma 6* and im bad

[hazy crest]

Everyone is bad until they equip the cyclone

Then they’re good

[stone basin]

Shaking in my boots for the event so I dont have to fight my teammates next round and then they are my team again next round

[urban steppe]

If you actually bothered to read my post, you'd know I'm not blaming my team members for the loss.

Like I said
the game has no issue pairing me up with players around my level for my team of randoms.

Its the fact the other people in the lobby are at an astronomical difference in skill
ie multiple 6s vs a trio of 3s/4s.

No need to be snarky and tell me to "improve" or move the goalpost and claim I'm claiming anyone else is the issue when the issue is matchmaking

[soft coyote]

Hi guys

[urban steppe]

I'd argue that having to fight people at the highest skill level won't actually make you better at the game

infact, it would only make you want to avoid the game.;

[fleet dove]

post melon cat

[soft coyote]

@urban steppe Look who it is

[solemn lion]

I think they should just remove any sort of SBMM or EOMM

[urban steppe]

If you knew loading into every match was an instant loss,l why would you bother playing.

[urban steppe]

or at least be truthful and tell us it doesn't work

[fleet dove]

it doesnt work in literally ANY game

its a failed prototype

[soft coyote]

Ithink it is okay but not okay sometimes. It is 50 50

[urban steppe]

^ I'm not a big fan of the gaslight of skill based matchmaking or the solution of "just get better bro"

when you are paired with the bottom of the bracket and have to fight the top.

[soft coyote]

Ok but like who cares. Think about it

None of this matters guys

We will all die in the end

[urban steppe]

tru

[stone basin]

Sometimes I get fair fights sometimes I get P100 lvl 100 john showdown who just steamrolls me so yeah I think 50/50 is a fair assessment of sbmm

[soft coyote]

Ya

[urban steppe]

speak of the devil, the 6 that downed me was 100/100

[soft coyote]

Wat ur mme

Mmr

[hazy crest]

I’m much more scared of the prestige 1 with 3k hours than any prestige 100

[urban steppe]

I sit at 3-4 nowadays since I don't have all the time in the world to play

uni semester's started

[soft coyote]

That is p good

5-6 star is kind of cringe

[stone basin]

I mean as someone in 6 star I dont feel like I belong in 6 star I feel like I still belong in old mmr 5 star throughout the entire time 1896 has been out I have never lost a good noodle star ever even on 20 game loss streaks

[soft coyote]

Can you climb only playing bounty clash

I only play bounty clash

[urban steppe]

I don't think it matters considering bc has a different playstyle

[stone basin]

I think Bounty clash has different mmr

[soft coyote]

Why

[urban steppe]

that too

[olive charm]

did anyone else notice in the dev stream that when the decoy card was used the actual hunter didnt show on dark sight? does that mean you could play the card at spawn and never show on dark sight?

[solemn lion]

You can climb in quick play

[urban steppe]

yeah but like I said
that's a whole different playstyle

not reflective of an actual match

[soft coyote]

Is there a dev here I have some suggestions

[stone basin]

No you do show up its just in the video the actual guy was behind him and instead of doing a 360 scan he just looked one way and assumed

[soft coyote]

Like they are game changing you will want to hear them

[urban steppe]

quickplay is 99% decided by whoever makes it to the boss lair first with a shotgun and concertina 😆

[solemn lion]

Ehhh

[olive charm]

that will be good hope so

[urban steppe]

I don't think that's reflective of how an actual match plays out

[soft coyote]

Long ammo > dweeb shotgun

[solemn lion]

Just keep moving in quick play and it will force you to win a bunch of gun fights

If you get good with an active playstyle in quick play you get good at the game

[soft coyote]

Bounty clash > wuickplay

[urban steppe]

I kind of felt something was off with that match
because the guy fastpeeked both my randoms and landed 2 headshots with his sparks

you'd have to be absurdly good at the game to pull that off

absurd plays

[soft coyote]

He was cheato

[urban steppe]

well yeah, that's because you can bring your own loadout

[dawn surge]

i like quickplay

[urban steppe]

there's more counterplay options to concertina mcgee and his shotgun

[dawn surge]

🙁

[urban steppe]

sitting in the lair

[soft coyote]

Also it is more fun

[dawn surge]

only thing i wish is more options for compounds in bounty clash

[soft coyote]

Shame

[urban steppe]

if you don't find any explosives/ ammo with pen

and you have to fight some dude who just sits indoors behind a wall of wire and traps in quickplay

its an instant loss

[dawn surge]

what can i say, i played the shit out of it when it came out in 2018

always had a soft spot for it

[urban steppe]

esp after the wallbang changes

[soft coyote]

Wuickplay is too slow

[urban steppe]

^

[stone basin]

I have 1 quickplay game under my belt in my 2k hours

[urban steppe]

yeah, you have a limited amount of time to fish out a kill

[soft coyote]

If they rename it slow play I will be ok with it

[urban steppe]

which just feeds into the turtle playstyle

[solemn lion]

Actual skill issues

Just push

[soft coyote]

Yes I agree. Skill issue. Rachta and hornet would destroy them

[urban steppe]

Oh brother I remember the time ractha accidentally queued into north america instead of europe

and ended up in my lobby

dude headshot me the moment that window opened

[soft coyote]

Classic

[dawn surge]

walks into mister shotgun users 3 concertina traps with his conveniently placed traps in every corner of the compound

but i'll just push and die to play return to menu simulator

[urban steppe]

Good times during the pandemic when I was in 5

I thought my ahh was safe in north america

since most the guys are EU

[soft coyote]

Never open window in lobby with rachta

[urban steppe]

I didn't think he'd end up in a NA Lobby

[soft coyote]

Well maybe you are in YouTube highlight now

[urban steppe]

I hope not

[soft coyote]

Yes I think I saw you

You died

[dawn surge]

i had a friend that killed rachta once years ago

[urban steppe]

The only guy I had to watch out for back then was failspawner

back then

[dawn surge]

and he thought my friend was abusing the left-side peeking bug

[urban steppe]

I've had him in the lobby a few times

[dawn surge]

....he wasn't, he was just holding an angle cuz rachta was STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMPing

[soft coyote]

Who is better quin hornet or rachta

[dawn surge]

Neenoh

[soft coyote]

No way

[urban steppe]

Fronkie

[dawn surge]

the most chill gamer

[soft coyote]

Neenoh is cool but he is not on their level

He is like slightly worse

[dawn surge]

oh i don't care about their skill level

i prefer Neenoh cuz he's a chill guy

[soft coyote]

Like more than slightly

I am talking about skill

[stone basin]

I want bounty clash but not bounty clash, I like bounty hunt just because of the fights at compounds and random places in the woods but I dont like walking 5 min just to die, bounty clash solves this issue but everyone just has freeman or crown and kings or specters nothing interesting so its kinda lame

[dawn surge]

if we wanna talk skill and skill only..wizzdome, for all you 2018 vets out there

[soft coyote]

Are you 5 starr

[dawn surge]

other than that, idk

[urban steppe]

its either that
or they spam frag arrows into the 1 building
because they know everyone has to go in there

[soft coyote]

Wiz dome was good but he is not on their level either

[stone basin]

No 6 star I used to be 5 star when 6 star was actually hard to get

[soft coyote]

Ok so that is your punishment for being sweat lord

[urban steppe]

Damn I fell off
I was in 5 during covid now I'm stuck in the trenches 😿

[soft coyote]

My bounty clash games are all normal guns

[dawn surge]

i'd sacrifice a lamb to get out of 6 stars

especially the old 6 stars

[urban steppe]

lucky you

[full jungle]

Me

[urban steppe]

its just frag arrow spam/shotguns for me

[soft coyote]

Why are you guys acting like it's so complicated to get out of 6 star. You just die

[stone basin]

Buddy old chum I am the opposite of sweat I run a silenced nagant with subsonic every round and just random primary and use fusees instead of flare gun

[full jungle]

Kd

And then once you die and lose rank and start playing again normally you’re just gonna climb up again

[dawn surge]

because old 6 stars was fucking cringe lets be real

so yeah you die but the ways you died was fucking cringe

[soft coyote]

Kd is part of mmr now?

[full jungle]

Still is but now it’s just campers not methed out weirdos

[stone basin]

Mosin sniper with spitzer and uppercut and they get one kill then leave

[full jungle]

No but some people care about kd

[dawn surge]

i couldn't have said it better

[soft coyote]

Give me your account. I will derank you

[dawn surge]

also fuck KD i don't care about it, i'll facetank a thousand shotguns just don't give me fucking spitzer snipers with dolches every game

or old nitro shredders

[soft coyote]

I used to be .17 kd and now I am .75

[dawn surge]

i achieved 1.5KD and i'll happily stay there

but KD to this day? really doesn't matter

[urban steppe]

yeah

KD only matters to determine if someone is a bush wookie or not imo

if someone has an astronomically high kd like upper 1 to 2.0

I'd be mighty suspicious of how they play

[stone basin]

Its insane how people used to play back in like 2022-2023 mfs really used to be out here unironically using the mosin sniper WITH spitzer from like 300m just because no bullet drop now every person ever running freemans or cenny

[urban steppe]

ie
they are gonna use me as bait to farm kills

and run away

/blow themselves up

[dawn surge]

Cains running mosin spitzer

[soft coyote]

Is .75 kd respectable. I have too many games to bring it up

[dawn surge]

i don't care

and i mean that with respect lol

[soft coyote]

My friend calls me noob

But actually I think he is the noob

[dawn surge]

so long as you actually play the game and don't just bush wookie in a corner or freeze for 30 minutes stalemating a game

because thats incredibly boring

[soft coyote]

No I am man

[urban steppe]

I remember seeing guys qmastering an obrez just for more sptizer reserves 😆

[soft coyote]

I would rather die than play like bush wookie

[dawn surge]

like

if you're 0.75 kd

but you're a maniac that goes in guns blazing

[stone basin]

I have a 1.5kd after 3 years it used to be a 1.2-3 for the longest time and then 1896 came out and they putting level 47s 0 prestige in 6 star mmr

[dawn surge]

you have a lot more respect from me than a 2.1kd bush wookie that sits in corners of the map 200 meters away

if nothing else you make the game move, these dudes grind it to a halt

[urban steppe]

my thoughts exactly

[full jungle]

“Rat pact”

[urban steppe]

if I see a dude with an astronomically high kd

I'd be worried

[soft coyote]

What about non bush wookie shotgun players who creep walk everywhere

[dawn surge]

easy kills

[full jungle]

Idk just unga bunga with a sparks/uppercut and have fun

It works

It just does

[dawn surge]

if they're creep walking well

don't go near any bushes i hope

[south shore]

https://tenor.com/view/saturday-night-live-snl-do-the-creep-dancing-creepy-gif-4044902

[dawn surge]

if they're cree walking out in the open

[stone basin]

My loadouts recently are just like silenced nagant with a alamo or like a rival or a Scotty P with a rival mace

[dawn surge]

actually

let me return back to my statement regarding bush wookies

[urban steppe]

oh god, I haven't seen that mv in eons

[dawn surge]

if you concertina every entrance and sit in a corner

[urban steppe]

thanks for the 2010 flashbacks

[dawn surge]

you deserve bush wookie mosin users

[urban steppe]

😾

[urban steppe]

sadly I do this

[soft coyote]

...bruh

[fleet dove]

sparks with fast fingers and FMJ and borhein is pretty good

[dawn surge]

i hate that after 7 fucking years Concertina doesn't decay after time

[urban steppe]

in my defense... vigiliant is 1 point...

if you are tripping onto traps in '25

that's on you

[rare wyvern]

thats why your kd is low... easy hs all day for anyone with half a noggin

[dawn surge]

oh i don't mean traps

i mean BOMBS

[soft coyote]

I don't do this noob

[dawn surge]

concertina bombing every entrance

[soft coyote]

My duo partner plays like that and gets mad at me when he dies

[dawn surge]

which some sick fucks actually do

[stone basin]

The only time I really just SIT around is when I show my head and immediately hear like 2 mosins go off and I know its just people wandering around in the woods outside the compound, I WILL sit here for 45 mins idc you don’t deserve me as a kill

[urban steppe]

I bring 3 a match

because it is mandatory now

either to block an entrance
provide cover for a revive since wallbang got nerfed to hell and back = you can easily res someone behind wire

or to stop a solo from getting up

[rare wyvern]

lol i got a buddy that does the same...

[unique trail]

I watch the solo

[urban steppe]

sometimes I can't

[dawn surge]

see at least there's counterplay to that, minimal dogshit counterplay but it exists

you run the opposite direction

🏃‍♂️

now if its a corner compound

[south shore]

No problem 😎

[soft coyote]

They should play together so they realize how stupid and annoying it is

[dawn surge]

the amount of times there was a sniper mosin team just sitting ridiculously far back

we just ran the opposite direction, why would we play your game

easiest extracts

[sterile trout]

have they changed bomb lance damage?

[hazy crest]

Yeah that’s the only time I’ll run from a fight

[sterile trout]

it feels like the melee part of it got really nerfed

or maybe I'm just tripping

[rare wyvern]

its hard to convey how important movement is to someone who barely knows right from left. Like if they know your there stand the fuck up and fight... noobs want to gank all the time and just dont understand there is a time for that

[urban steppe]

my randoms on their way to trigger every soundtrap before we push a compound

[sterile trout]

but it feels like it doesn't do as much damage, had an armored survive a swipe to hsi face

[hazy crest]

If you don’t want to take a fight at a reasonable range go fuck yourself no bounty for you

[stone basin]

I had a match where it was 2 trios and we were in scupper lake and they had atleast 4 mosins and just wouldn’t shoot each other or move so I actually did out wait the timer and made everyone lose their hunter it was awful

[dawn surge]

i usually dislike people that immediately run away if there's another bounty or gunshots going on

but come on, i am not peeking you with any gun in the game unless it itself is a scoped rifle

i fucking hate snipers

with shotguns you have more options like explosives

or even specific traits like levering and fanning

the fuck do u do against mosin boy 150m away

[urban steppe]

did you do a light attack?

a heavy should have killed it

[rare wyvern]

or dualies.

[urban steppe]

armored have slash res

[sterile trout]

a heavy

[urban steppe]

so if you used a light attack

[urban steppe]

HUH

[sterile trout]

towards the face as well

it felt like the guy just shrugged it off

thought I went crazy

[dawn surge]

i really dislike dualies but they are strong in close range too

[sterile trout]

unless they changed how the swipe goes

[urban steppe]

dang

[sterile trout]

I did it on two armoreds as well

like

[rare wyvern]

tell me you havent rocked dual pax recently without telling me

[sterile trout]

crosshair aimed slightly above their torso, heavy bomblance swing

[stone basin]

I dont mind explosives in general but when its frag arrows I just know I am not having fun that round because its gonna hit me through two walls and do 1 damage but cause heavy bleed

[sterile trout]

bastard looks me in the eye and asks if I've got more

and I'm like , what the fuck?

[dawn surge]

okay dual pax i will let slide

that shit rocks

[dawn surge]

yeah frag arrows is cheap

[raven totem]

fish for heads

[dawn surge]

but it does a great job of clearing corners

[soft coyote]

Shrug. What to do...

[rare wyvern]

the only dualies ill run. conversion can be fun but meh

[dawn surge]

if i have a scoped weapon, sure

[stone basin]

Ill tell you what snipers I do respect the 2 mfers on earth who use the berthier marksman unironically those guys can have it

[dawn surge]

i aint doing that with ironsights vetterli, i gotta be realy cracked

and some days

i just ain't cracked

[urban steppe]

Run the other way

[soft coyote]

What do you guys think of arc raiders

[rare wyvern]

you try to tell em, but they dont listen and only play because they wanna hang out. just clutch the match and hope he learns by watching you stomp skulls

[dawn surge]

stupidly excited for it

[stone basin]

Very fun

[rare wyvern]

looks like hot dogwater... imma stay away

[dawn surge]

thats what i said

!!1

its extremely op counterplay

[soft coyote]

Based. I agree

[urban steppe]

ong
when the lebel marksman exists

the guys who run the worse weapon deserve respect

[dawn surge]

did you play it during the tests

[urban steppe]

irc lebel marksman has one of the fastest rof ingame

[dawn surge]

cuz i played it and yeah, game was absolutely a joy to play

[onyx breach]

Hello

[soft coyote]

Yes. This is the only way...

But I'm unfortunately not that good yet

[rare wyvern]

dont even want to. Ill play arena breakout long before that

[dawn surge]

aight bro, but i can definitely say it ain't dogwater

game was a blast to play

[rare wyvern]

just not my style

[soft coyote]

Arena breakout not very good either

Why do you like arena breakout

[dawn surge]

its tarkov but without your balls being set on fire

and its free, everyone likes free

[urban steppe]

that and the fact frag/waxed frags are the only explosive ammo type in the game that lets you hit people behind cover

ontop of the explosive itself hitting through walls because game

you can bounce them off of walls/the roof to get behind cover

[soft coyote]

It's funny everyone going on about revolutionary game changing sound design and arc raiders and it's completely ass compared to hunt

[rare wyvern]

its tarkov with quality of life incorporated into its design.

[icy elbow]

arc raiders? it’s definitely not free

[soft coyote]

Basically

[rare wyvern]

agree

[dawn surge]

ABI

[icy elbow]

Oh mb

[dawn surge]

arc raiders is 40 euros

that i know

[stone basin]

Idk bout that one I liked the audio in it when I played compared to current hunt, current hunt feels like my head is underwater

[dawn surge]

ur grand 🙂

[soft coyote]

It would be cool to play hunt in the arc raiders world though. That's like the only thing I like about it

[rare wyvern]

you should turn sound equalization on my dude...

sorry loudness equalization

[dawn surge]

hunt with arc raiders PvE

[soft coyote]

What is loudness equalization

[soft coyote]

You can't tell where people are in the game. You just get a general sense

[rare wyvern]

A game changing setting on windows that significantly upped my ability to comprehend sounds in hunt

[soft coyote]

Really...

[rare wyvern]

went from a 3 star to a 5 star in a couple days after turning it on

[soft coyote]

Ya

That would be insane

[rare wyvern]

that was months ago

[stone basin]

Cant on xbox sadly unless you have a wireless xbox headset and its just like nah I am good

[soft coyote]

Holy shit...

[soft coyote]

Maybe I will finally rank up now ...

[full jungle]

You poor soul

[rare wyvern]

at least it tells you what you should do right on the screen

[dawn surge]

its been 84 years

[wicked fox]

Does it work well with Cry Spatial?

[dawn surge]

just cuz u don't like it doesn't mean i won't brother 😛

[paper wharf]

A bit cloudy turned into a flash flood thunderstorm over here

[rare wyvern]

yes. it makes cry spatial actually work imo

[soft coyote]

How

[stone basin]

I got a general sense of where people are in hunt I know every compound like the back of my hand the problem is when I am in the woods I cant tell how close someone is just because audio no work for me no more

[dawn surge]

anyway thats a many months old screenshot i just wanted to find my hours

[icy elbow]

It’s recommended to not run both cryspatial and any other external EQ at the same time

[dawn surge]

addiction

[icy elbow]

But I mean if it works for you it works for you

[dawn surge]

i did the same with hunt

which is why i'm fuckin excited

[soft coyote]

Me neither. But my friends can. So I think it is setting or skill issue

[rare wyvern]

[static briar]

anyone know what time tomorrow the update drops

[urban steppe]

[crystal bay]

Oh sweet they added it to announcements

[icy elbow]

update will drop a couple of hours after servers go offline at the above time

[crystal bay]

~3 hours

I should just skip my exam

right gamers

[static briar]

so It wont be playable till the 25th estimated

[crystal bay]

Depends on your time zone

Basically all the footsteps are louder...that is probably good I'm guessing

it helps when trying to gauge distance. You get way more headshot opportunities

[soft coyote]

Ya

You are right

Steam is doing maintenance?

[wheat pilot]

Either that or somethings up with hunt

I got kicked from the game as I was loading into the menu after a double bounty match with like 4 kills too

[oblique nacelle]

online now

[full jungle]

Nuh uh

[frigid ibex]

one day people will learn tuesday steam maintenance

that happens every week

which is right now

[stable mango]

who knows time @frigid ibex not me xD

[ocean briar]

Steam always does maintenance on Tuesdays

Time changes but it is always during this hour, sometimes it only takes a couple minutes, sometimes almost a whole hour

[full jungle]

They will never learn

After all it’s easier to just ask once a week and get the same answer rather then learning

[wheat pilot]

bro its 1am for me, I usually don't play games at this hour in the middle of the week

why would i know that

[bronze patrol]

steam literally says "no connection" during the maintenance though

[wheat pilot]

Has the new army been in the game for a long time?

[mild flower]

Long time

[wheat pilot]

I just came back after a year and I dont remember it somehow

[spark plaza]

ok it's over

[normal hare]

Witness meta: dual Scott fieldswifts

[mild flower]

When did you last play before

[spark plaza]

they know im the bayou harbor butcher

[wheat pilot]

September last year and I redownloaded this week

[mild flower]

Yeah new army was in the game

It has been as long as I can remember

[remote moss]

new army is one of the strongest semi autos because it has fmj, but bigger learning curve cause everyone overleads with the slow mv

if you want something to hilariously kill people with and wallbang with, learn it

best semi auto is of course officer carbine, cyclone, and crown and king

[wheat pilot]

weird, but i dont really use compact ammo revolvers so I guess it makes sense I forgot one

[mild flower]

It's good, but I wouldn't say it's one of the best because semi autos in general are so insane

Honestly might be on the lower end, as a narmy enjoyer

[remote moss]

its the fmj that makes it stand out

the lower fire rate vs officer pistol is strange

[mild flower]

And dumdum

[remote moss]

semi auto is strong but now you can wallbang with it? thats cracked

i dont really like the concept of pvp ammos like dumdum because every time you get a kill with the status eff, its usually against someone playing unoptimally and trying to take bad fights or something

[mild flower]

You don't get a kill with the status eff directly. You use it to apply pressure and force them into bad situations to kill them yourselves

[remote moss]

yeah and most of those opportunities are against players who fucked up by not ratting

at the very least, it still pressures and buys time even against rats and long ammo forest players

surefoot is a godsend, very strong but makes the game better despite how much it can be abused

[mild flower]

I find that when a long ammo bush Wookie is bleeding you have time to push or retreat

They can't hard scope forever if they're bleeding out

[remote moss]

in current tarot card meta, it might be useful to always bring something to bleed tbh

stop any regen shenanigans

[mild flower]

Crazy take

But I won't argue with it cause you seem pretty confident in your opinion so fair enough

[remote moss]

thank you for accepting my views

i do not accept yours but im sure you also feel strongly so i wont contest it

well, not like youve said anything wrong so far

[grave rose]

Both of ur opinions are bad just run all cards be a duel master

Goodbye

[remote moss]

this is why we burn scarecrows

[mild flower]

Wait so cards got added? Im away so haven't been able to play hunt

[wispy kelp]

from my pov surefoot makes game worse

it negates punishment - not just from bleeds and medication but you can start cooking dynamites without it slowing you down - in past there used to be risk vs reward, you had to commit to the throw and either use angles behind cover or expose yourself in open while moving slow.... now you can just full run where only risk is that you don't have gun out

in my eyes its the trait that least fits this game (edit: unless this games future is to have no risk... which is not the game i started playing)

[south shore]

Yeah, you can slot cards you find killing meatheads into your duel disk to summon friendly grunts to help you.

[mild flower]

Can I summon scrapbeak

[south shore]

No but you can summon a small scrappy

[mild flower]

Or do I have to summon him piece by piece like that one Yu-Gi-Oh card

[remote moss]

yeah i dont like that part of the trait specifically. mammons is already a shit map, now you get free sprint nade kills in the vast majority of places to fight as long as you dont majorly suck. what is a good change is the ability to sprint heal. it makes for really shitty cornerplay in compounds but the end result is not losing simply because you were willing to take a bad fight and now youre stuck bleeding or in a bad spot where you need movement to survive

[mild flower]

What about trap card: alert trip mine x9999 instant redskull

[remote moss]

sprint nading shouldnt exist, pitcher is already bullshit enough, people dodge assuming its a regular nade and still get caught off guard because rng chance of pitcher giving it doubled range

the heal might make cornerplay bullshit, but cornerplay is already a huge load of bullshit even without it

just makes it less punishing to get tagged just cause youre trying to take a risk compared to some fucker who just rats

[south shore]

Easily countered with Vigilant quick play magic card

[tame magnet]

this is how bad hand died

[whole mist]

Sure foot should only apply to bandaging, not nades

[frigid kestrel]

Hunt showdown theory: they didnt bring back gun runner not because people were complaining but they didnt want people to get the long barrel rival and ex-centennial at one

[south shore]

Yeah Crytek told me thats canon

yeey exited I'm ^^ hope it launches well this time =)

[brazen vapor]

I have a feeling things will be better this time

[strange walrus]

me to actually, the glimps I saw from the livestream looks cool but didn't catch what those cards do, so It will be a discovery for me ^^

[ancient cave]

I love everything this time around in the event so I'm excited

not very happy with the stuff they chose to give skins but happy with it none the less

[knotty obsidian]

I just hope it's playable and no game breaking issues like last update

[ancient cave]

I'm sure they took extra caution after that

or maybe they didn't
crytek is interesting

[knotty obsidian]

I highly doubt it

[ancient cave]

yeah sorry I had to think for 2 seconds

[knotty obsidian]

Been playing long enough to not get too excited.

[knotty obsidian]

Ohh that's gonna be frustrating to face and fun to use

[dreamy cave]

Probably gonna be in the top 3 most hated lol

[ancient whale]

Seems to happen with every online game these days

[brazen vapor]

Getting that chariot card in my own humble opinion would probably make the bounty teams camp more.

because if you think like a timid bounty carrier they’d think what’s the point of getting it then trying to leave.

They’ll be stuck out somewhere without cover if the extract changes. And at least if they stay they’ll have cover.

Me personally I’m going to love using that to irritate bounty teams

[royal shore]

guys , hunt teste server is off ?

[velvet agate]

Its always off

[velvet agate]

Also the cool down of chariot is somethink to be reckon with

[stone basin]

Camp or fight more what will probably happen 50/50 percent of the time is they will wait for last 6 minutes use chariot and go to extract or they will see no use in waiting and try to kill everyone and if there isn’t enough bodies they will probably just use chariot themselves and go to nearest exit

[brazen vapor]

That’s a great point.

[knotty obsidian]

You can use card to extract at middle of map too. Adds different gameplay because you don't know who has what cards

[turbid dock]

I wonder if they'll expand on the locked extract mechanics

A single rare tarot card being the only way to change the two active extracts seems a bit weird

If the card is rare enough, this could effectively just be reducing the number of extracts from 3 to 2 in most matches

[knotty obsidian]

It won't change how I play anyway. I run and gun. Always push never bush

[radiant wren]

using sparks for the first time, this is good i like it, is there any other guns that have as much OHK potential?

[whole furnace]

New event have 4 extracts on the map, with two of them being closed form the beginning every match :)

[turbid dock]

Yeah

That's what I'm saying

[turbid dock]

That could just effectively reduce the amount of extracts to 2 in most matches if the chariot card ends up being rare

[whole furnace]

Ah yes, in that sense that is true :)
But even with the card, it only switches the four around. Still only 2 after the use.

[turbid dock]

Yup

[whole furnace]

Actually the more I think about it.
I think they came up with the chariot as concept first, realized they didn't have a good way to make players choose which of the 3 extracts to lock down.

And switching 1 to 2 or vice versa was too strong.

So they added a 4th extraction to solve that issue lol

[frank fossil]

[lofty sinew]

middle map extract is always locked by default

[lilac thicket]

well well well anyone getting kiicked after 10sec you join a game now ?

[soft coyote]

Hi

[remote moss]

or maybe they let content creators beta test the event before recently and they realized all the long ammo rats and slow players could do even less than they already do once the 4th center extract was added

[soft coyote]

Wtf is a chariot

[lofty sinew]

it is one of the tarot cards

[soft coyote]

Wat it do

[lofty sinew]

switches which extracts are locked and which aren't. 5 minute global cooldown

[soft coyote]

Wat is locked extraction

[lofty sinew]

it is what it sounds like. you can't use locked extraction points

[soft coyote]

Ok then why are they there

[whole furnace]

More options for extraction blocking have been requested for years now, so don't think the base concept was: "Let's add another extraction so it is even harder to block people running away" :)

[lofty sinew]

because there is a tarot card called the chariot that switches which are locked

[deft panther]

See, I fear chariot in some cases might not even be a useless use

Have we got confirmation on wether or not it swaps a specific extraction point or at random?
If it's random, that's a 1/3 chance of the card actually blocking something properly

[soft coyote]

So two of the four extractions dont do anything now

[whole furnace]

There are 4 extractions at the beginning over every match.
2 locked, 2 unlocked.
Using the card switches them around :)

[lofty sinew]

from what i have seen, chariot always switches the same extraction points from locked to unlocked

ie - it is not random

[deft panther]

Oh!
I was under the impression the middle one was always locked, didn't realise there was a second, nvm that's neat

[lofty sinew]

the middle one is always locked at the start of the round

[whole furnace]

Middle and one of the side ones are always locked :)

[remote moss]

trolls are gonna get good enough at the game to delay for 5 minutes so they can pop a second chariot the moment bounty tries to finally extract

[lofty sinew]

a chariot has to be used to access the middle extract

[remote moss]

at least, i hope they are, at least ONE youtuber might be able to pull it off

we already know there are slow as fuck players its perfect against

[soft coyote]

So chariot lets you use locked extract

[lofty sinew]

it changes the extract to being unlocked. and the other 2 extracts become locked

[whole furnace]

Techincally yes, but it is wrong way to see it.

[soft coyote]

Why

[deft panther]

I do have to say, having 2 extracts to choose from without bringing a chariot card to swap them, I kinda like the idea of having just 2 extracts

[lofty sinew]

I feel like the chariot is getting beetle levels of concern. I don't expect to see extracts bouncing back and forth between locked and unlocked every round.

[whole furnace]

Bc it does more than that :)
It switches locked and unlocked extracts around :)

[soft coyote]

Oh

[spark plaza]

amogus

[soft coyote]

Ok

[lofty sinew]

there are 2 available extracts every lobby, and chariot switches which 2 are available

[soft coyote]

Say something else

[remote moss]

sort of, its mostly so you can play catch up if your spawn is too far or if youre at the second boss location. problem is that this always suits the rat players more than someone who got unlucky. long ammo rats are happy cause theyre usually too slow or scared to get in a position to fight or catch bounty

[soft coyote]

Guys who cares about chariot

[remote moss]

if you watch long ammo 6 star premades a lot, they play really really fucking scared until they score a pick

now they can make you likely to fight them in a bad position cause you cant extract

[deft panther]

People who just get the token and run away

[remote moss]

instead of missing you entirely cause guess what

theyre SCARED

lol

[soft coyote]

Just run after them ez

[lofty sinew]

i don't see anyone bothering to use it unless they're lazy, already have tokens, and happen to be closer to the middle extract than any of the edge ones

[soft coyote]

Honestly there are cooler cards so If you pick that one then ok good for you.ez for everyone else

[lofty sinew]

I just don't believe we're going to see dynamic extract ping-pong any more than.. basically never

[deft panther]

I mean, depending on map layout, you can really delay a team if used correctly
Watch your map, wait about 10 seconds when the lightning is on the extract, switch it and boom, suddenly they have to go a different way

I'd only ever expect to see 1 swap per game tho

[soft coyote]

There should be tarot card that lets you fast travel to bounty

[whole furnace]

Honestly not seen a whole lot of people being concerned

[lofty sinew]

compared to the other cards its been the only one i've seen people actually talk about

[deft panther]

Let's talk about hanged man more

That seems like a fun one

[soft coyote]

Hanged man ok

You can see nearest hunter

Pov

[whole furnace]

More worried about the Devil, crackshot with a health downside is still crackshot lol

[soft coyote]

But then you die after or something

[remote moss]

garden is pretty cool since it restores everyones hp

the setup for teamplay is great, let your long ammo player duel and if he ever gets tagged, you pop it

add heal bolt when, make it an aoe so its easy to land

[deft panther]

Wait I thought it had an AOE?

[remote moss]

thats tower

tower go brrrr against ai

[deft panther]

I can see some real interesting plays with magician

Especially setting up around bounty compound

[remote moss]

i dont remember how it worked

so it turns into something you can see in darksight? but why would you fall for it

[deft panther]

If you play it right, and have people stand still, how would they ever tell?

[little widget]

SO HYPED

[remote moss]

it can screw with people using darksight boost, maybe

[deft panther]

When people do their little 1 second spin when they pick up a bounty, I doubt they are going to be like.
"This specific one was standing more still than the others, that's the decoy"

[remote moss]

might be the case

most darksight looks like an orange blob thats moving back and forth

and the way darksight boost works, theyre usually in the far left or far right of where the blob actually is as long as theyre moving

this is a problem you see even with good players, they just look at the blob instead of guessing the 50/50 with audio of where theyre actually at, map knowledge becomes very helpful here

the standing ones look drastically different cause they dont move

i dont remember if magician makes the blob move or just stand still, but standing still is an obv one

[deft panther]

I do think devil is the most cause for concern tho

[remote moss]

potential for unfun angle holding with nitro but otherwise fightable

[deft panther]

And empress will be annoying for if you don't constantly watch a solo's body

Or burn straight away

[icy elbow]

instaburn gang rise up

[remote moss]

insta get up solo bug is still here

so watch out

[deft panther]

Always instaburn solo's man
Hell instaburn team players, put that pressure on

[dense sleet]

if you know they scanned and then place it and walk to another part of the building, they could try wallbanging the decoy and waste a few shots and yo uswing while they do that...

whether itll be a good tactic, yea idk

[icy elbow]

crytek will never fix

basically a part of the game now

[dense sleet]

it was just old crackshot, and it comes at a nasty price

i think itll be strong but considering how you get tarot cards it wont be a common every game thing like crackshot was

im worried about the new centennial, things stats are out of this world lmao

126, 650MV, all Cenny ammo, better spread, more ammo, swift

[lofty sinew]

new meta is solos approaching lair compound in darksight range and just never moving, pretending to be a decoy. then they wait for you to come investigate

[icy elbow]

anything it takes to get a solo to fight me and not run

[lofty sinew]

bum bum bummmmmm

[icy elbow]

seems like a win to me

[dense sleet]

i wonder if this is them testing new ways to replenish traits outside of the menu, interesting thing tbh

[lofty sinew]

i mean solos being able to refresh necro multiple times is a solo boost that is highly conditional

[dense sleet]

i dont mind solos having 1 or 2 stand ups, they are already at a massive disadvantage. but i am worried the sniper bush ones are gonna play even more passive and safe

hell, a lot of the time the necro does nothing unless you treat every fight/peek as "if i die, will i be able to st and up"

[lofty sinew]

yeah. i'm not overly worried

[dense sleet]

im not too worried about it, i hardly have issues with solos. now lower elo'd players are gonna complain like no tomorrow

[lofty sinew]

if you don't get a chance to use your card that second necro is purely theoretical

[dense sleet]

if you dont get a chance to use your first necro lol

i count to 6 whenever i kill a player i think is a solo and just wait for the audio cue, most people stand up right away and thats a dead giveaway

[lofty sinew]

start burn then count to 6, gotta motivate em 😛

[dense sleet]

im so glad i was already an instaburner

[soft coyote]

Poopity schoops

[lofty sinew]

yes good point

[dense sleet]

mf concubine jump scare jesus

[light helm]

for 3's there must be more than 12 ppl. only for solo its enough

[dense sleet]

youd be surprised how chaotic the game can get with only 12 people in a match lol

[light helm]

2k hours

[dense sleet]

considering tarkov has 2 maps where there can be 18, plus player scavs after a certain time, hunts player count per lobby is quite low but still exhilarating

[dense sleet]

i have 4k and i get surprised by it sometimes

[crystal holly]

[dense sleet]

[light helm]

[crystal holly]

damn so it will be in aus like prime time to game

[dense sleet]

[alpine mortar]

[dense sleet]

they are a company and exist to make money, and yo ucould get thousands of BBs over the years

[raven totem]

spooders

[dense sleet]

while it seems scummy upon first thought, its really not that bad. imo the most egregious one was cutting our weekly challenge reward in half

soons glidey poo

6 hours ish

[raven totem]

I'll be at work rip

[dense sleet]

oooo

oh! totally missed those, thanks!

[dense sleet]

no worries

just know that hunt servers go down in about 5ish hours for the new update

[radiant wren]

what is considered an upgrade from the sparks?

[dense sleet]

martini imo

or any bolt action

[ornate pecan]

hey is the update gonna roll out exactly at midnight ?

[dense sleet]

none of the breech loading rifles pale in comparision to the bolt actions, Fast Fingers is meant to bring them more in line but it doesnt quite do that

[radiant wren]

ah gotcha thanks

check latest post by Diiba

on the sparks its great, martini its alright, i dont use maynard and the springfield its a monster

but like... just play a berthier

[untold stag]

Yeah i always land my sparky pistol first shots anyway

Or even yeah bring a good secondary

[dense sleet]

uppercut/ TS DumDum/ Officer/ hell a mosin

[soft coyote]

What other games do you guys play

[dense sleet]

mako getting its swap speed changed is gonna be cool

[radiant wren]

ive heard good things about the berthier, why do some people hate it tho?

[untold stag]

What is "other games"

[dense sleet]

bc it got an unnecessary buff in its ammo cap to seem more appealing

[soft coyote]

Like games that are not hunt

[untold stag]

I didn't know there were more games 😳

[soft coyote]

Yes go to steam.com

[dense sleet]

and the 3 round mag is annoying at first, but it reloads faster than a mosin rechamber so i dont feel like its a worhty thing to hate

[dense sleet]

Stalker Modded, Stalcraft, Finals has been a fun one for me recently, i am saving my new game hype for Arc Raiders and BG6 atm

[untold stag]

Ok i play kletka, lethal company, buckshot roulette, I got like 300 games on my library but I dont havr any installed lol

[dense sleet]

friendslop enjoyer, based af

[untold stag]

I just play whatever multupalyer games I got with my small group of 2 friends

[soft coyote]

Why do you play buckshot roulette

[dense sleet]

that game when drunk is fucking amazing

[soft coyote]

Arc raiders is cool but hunt gunplay is better

[soft coyote]

Why. I don't drink

Alcohol is poison

[untold stag]

I get stoned every night and play dumb games with my homies I think this is how my life is meant to be ☺️

[dense sleet]

different feels imo, i just want another extract shooter tha isnt tarkov bc i sold my account for that

[untold stag]

Alcohol is used to treat wounds from infection actually

[soft coyote]

True

[dense sleet]

the most out of pocket shit gets said when the alcohol starts flowing

[soft coyote]

Very rarely

[untold stag]

No every time actually

[soft coyote]

No

[velvet agate]

Guys, how long is the mantainence?

[dense sleet]

alcohol is used in most remedies

[dense sleet]

3 hours

[velvet agate]

Thanks

[untold stag]

Alcohol is even in our drinks just at such a small level

[soft coyote]

Yeah and then I get in trouble. No more

[dense sleet]

by who?

the fun police

you must be young then

[untold stag]

Did u guys know a single kool-aid jammer contains more alcohol than a 2l sprite

[soft coyote]

Not super young

[dense sleet]

you give me that impression is all

[wild leaf]

Hey guys, can I ask the community a question? I really want to take responsibility for my loss but I'm struggling to see what I could do. We are bounty carriers at alice, we fight two teams and celebrate, only to find out there is a duo with maynard silenced just sitting out there doing nothing. We run to chapel of madonna noir, then they chase us and sit there. We try and bait them out but they're so far back we can't even see them in dark sight, then we run allll the way from there to stillwater, then chapel, then slaughterhouse, then cyprus. They are there and camping extract, we end up dying

[dense sleet]

younger than me i assume

[soft coyote]

I am just immature

[wild leaf]

Sorry for the bible I just don't want to rage and looking for advice

[untold stag]

YOLO

Thats my advice dawg

Confidence

Believe in ourself

OURSELF believe in us

[dense sleet]

it happens sometimes

best we can say is thats hunt and move on

[wild leaf]

Wait so there's nothing realistic I could have done in that situation?

[torn karma]

As soon as they left you book it to the closest exit

[wild leaf]

We did though

[dense sleet]

besides giving yourself cover with chokes/conc bombs and just waiting the timer... not really

[wild leaf]

Thats why we moved to those places

[torn karma]

Dont even bother killing AI or going through compounds, just dip

[untold stag]

Whats conc

Conc 😏

[torn karma]

They read you like a book

[dense sleet]

and if they arent in dark sight, they arent stopping your extract. just hide behind the horse if wagon and in the middle of the paddles if boat

this too

[wild leaf]

Extract was at port reeker and cyprus, the other extract was all the way top left

[torn karma]

They hedged their bets and won

If you had enough time it wouldve been better to avoid where they rotated

[wild leaf]

We tried to leave in cover but they kept shortcutting us, because the way the extracts were positioned, we would always be pushing them

[urban steppe]

so like

the event starts in a few hours right

well, the update queue time

[wild leaf]

We couldn't get to extract, they kept sniping at us

[urban steppe]

yeah
the update queue time starts in around 5 ig

and then we take 1-2 hours to install

[wild leaf]

Because for some ungodly reason hunt won't add cover to extracts and areas approaching iy

[dense sleet]

3 hour maintenance

[wild leaf]

Come on man you know thats not productive to the conversation

[torn karma]

Almost all extracts have multiple cover points

Theres very few that dont have some kind of cover be it trees, buildings, straight sightlines, etc.

[wild leaf]

Cyprus

[torn karma]

Theres 2 cypress extracts

[wild leaf]

Right out towards the slide from main building

[torn karma]

The one by the logs and the other by the bathroom

In either case you can always choke bomb part of the area to make it harder to see your hunters, and then just crouch and wait for the timer

[snow ivy]

If they were outside darksight and still somehow beat you to the extract in a game where everyone moves at the same speed you answered your own question. Learn how to traverse the map faster, use better positioning, know when to just run in the bee line and when to bob and weave. Invest in Surefoot, stamina shots and Greyhound with Determination

[wild leaf]

Ok I'm going to say this very plainly because everyone keeps saying this. WE WERE NOT ON EXTRACT. WE COULD NOT GET TO EXTRACT BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE TRIED, WE GOT SHOT AT, SO WE HAD TO USE COVER, MAKING OUR ROTATE LONGER. THEY SHORTCUT US EVERY SINGLE TIME, NO MATTER HOW CREATIVE WE GOT. SO WE EITHER COULD SIT AT A COMPOUND OF OUR CHOICE, OR RUN THROUGH FOLIAGE TIL EXTRACT

[remote moss]

well yeah, youre supposed to run through foliage

[dense sleet]

it sounds like you just got got then

[remote moss]

takes forever though

[wild leaf]

But see thats the issue though. Do you all mean to say I'm just screwed?

[wicked fox]

Why are you yelling?

[wild leaf]

It just makes it easier to read

[torn karma]

Gotta learn to path better, they didnt do much other than gamble which extract youd show up at by funneling you that way

[dense sleet]

it does not

[wild leaf]

Well you guys kept missing what I was saying so

[dense sleet]

i tend to skim read all caps

ngl

[snow ivy]

Sounds like you were panicking and unsure how to quickly traverse the map, like those goofy teams that get caught hugging the edge of the map when they would have made it out running straight at the extract

[torn karma]

No one missed what you were saying

[wild leaf]

Ngl we did that. We couldn't think of anything else to do because these guys were just pelting us constantly

Compounds would have just been a stalemate

[ornate pecan]

Timestamp for above: in announcement tab shows local time for your place ??

[wild leaf]

We know because we tried that. We tried pushing and they ran like crazy, like unironically they ran two compounds away

[snow ivy]

If you have Surefoot and regen shots you can just heal while running

[dense sleet]

yes, the last post is YOUR local time

the one by Diiba

[torn karma]

Your fear of being sniped overruled your ability to outrun

[snow ivy]

You're exaggerating again, they never would have caught you if they were 2 compounds away

[wild leaf]

We pushed up a compound

[ornate pecan]

okay thanks , it shows 3 am for me , so ~3 hours downtime , i can play 6 am latest right ?

[dense sleet]

i think you woulda made it if yo uplayed traversing the map a bit better and just cut sightlines as much as possible

[wild leaf]

We wanted to move to the right and above them, up to port extarct

[dense sleet]

they would get no shots bc htey have to be constantly moving to catch up with you

[wild leaf]

Extract*

[dense sleet]

i think you all at the very worst, just misplayed

[dense sleet]

sure, around that ish

[wild leaf]

I'm sorry I can't send you guys a clip, I'm sure that would make this so much easier, but ps5 is dumb.

[dense sleet]

oh AND your one console? yea you def misplayed

no offense, but those shots are common to hit unless you are standing still

[snow ivy]

When I play solo any sniper camping team that is on the edge of darksight is never catching me because I run Conduit and Magpie and know the shortest distance between 2 points

[wild leaf]

Dude no you gotta believe me these guys are crazy

6* dudes are crazy, they use cronus and stuff

[dense sleet]

i know a bit i played it in 6 star for a while

that shit isnt as insane as yo uthink, being locked at that high input latency sucks

[wild leaf]

Watched a guy use the avto and mag dumb, just one bullethole

[dense sleet]

i tried it, wasnt very fun

not well

[snow ivy]

They weren't, the fact they gave you so much distance immediately reeks of amateur unless they had someone waiting in the wings surrounding you

[dense sleet]

go look at r6 xD if the game detects a mouse in a console lobby you get punted to pc lobbies

[wild leaf]

Maynard and sparks sniper

They knew we have shotguns

[lyric blade]

how many more hrs till the event drop

[wild leaf]

Probably some context I should have given, very sorry

Thats what we did

[dense sleet]

5 hours

check gen announcements for YOUR local time

[lyric blade]

tyvm!

[fickle lotus]

Cover art for the new album is kinda freaky

[wild leaf]

Hell yeah man

[dense sleet]

ive read descriptions, and all of them have been out of pocket

[snow ivy]

We're aware they had scoped rifles, no one would sit that far back otherwise. Hunt is just like Sea of Thieves, no one can catch you because everyone is going the same speed unless you don't know the little nuances of staying at top speed

[lofty sinew]

you could have attempted a push, but sometimes you're just at a disadvantage and you're not going to win unless you get lucky. it's how the game is. it can be frustrating as hell. We all experience it now and then.

[dense sleet]

i hate my buddies

[whole furnace]

Joining late, there are 3 extractions and only two (max 3) of them.
They cannot cover all of them.
Yes there gonna be a fight at some point, but it is better to be at extract and force them to push you than vice versa :)

[lofty sinew]

to hedge against that sort of scenario you can try to bring loadouts that don't mean you are hard countered by peole bringing scopes / rifles.. bring at least one rifle on the team. bring a shorty marksman. whatever

all kinds of weird words are auto-modded.

[fickle lotus]

@whole furnace just hates new weapons

[whole furnace]

What?

[dense sleet]

lol where did that come from

[whole furnace]

Oh, I downvoted their suggest in game ideas lmao

[fickle lotus]

you thumbs down my weapon idea

[dense sleet]

while i dont always agree with mccree and his takes, he in fact does NOT hate content

[fickle lotus]

then why did he downvote?

[dense sleet]

must not have been very good

[fickle lotus]

well he seems to hate all of them

[jaunty harbor]

Does anyone else have trouble finding teammates right now?

[dense sleet]

low player count atm for a couple reasons

[whole furnace]

Yes bc:
1: You make no case for the weapon.
2: The weapon suggested adds nothing to the rooster.
3: You just copy pasted the wiki description of the weapon.

[jaunty harbor]

Why?

[whole furnace]

New event starts in like... 7 hours or so

[fickle lotus]

Well the time the weapon was made is important

[jaunty harbor]

Ahhh
