hunt-general

[remote moss]

looks like it

[pine rose]

so do explosions just not give a fuck about floors?

[remote moss]

might be inaccurate slightly and hitting something else

[pine rose]

managed to kill two people a floor above a dark dynamite lol

[hasty wharf]

maybe it still counts as a medium barrel then lol, cause crown slug two tap is 47m

[remote moss]

yes, certain floors especially on the first two maps can be killed through with dynamites

[mild flower]

yeah explosions are super buggy and will instakill through the tiniest crack

[hasty wharf]

unless it was changed

[eternal cairn]

They "probably" looking into it. But having to make sure I"m in the game mode I'm trying to be in is crazy

[remote moss]

yeah, the crown and king still two taps at 45m

homestead is a heavy 40m only

its really nice to be able to two tap at compound ranges with the fucking homestead while it still functions as shotgun

good competitor to drilling, nevermind the regular rival

id say homestead slugs better if youre not trying to rely on your secondary for range

[mild flower]

tbf if youre running shotgun in what scenario are you not doing that

[light sky]

@teal ore GGs, not a cheater, just a talented drunk player.

[remote moss]

the new scenario with homestead slugs, lol

[analog kettle]

When you just go on what I call ”A suicide misson” just for fun, lol.

[remote moss]

wildland levering is kind of terrifying, its an easy 25m kill to any limb gun

except it also has fmj so now you also have a really consistent wallbang compared to less dmg winfield

i always thought it was worse than winnie levering but its the same fucking spread

only difference is recoil

nevermind, this shits cracked as fuck for compounds

winnie levering worse since it cant two tap legs

[spice pewter]

help cat is on me

[remote moss]

throw cat

[spice pewter]

she is starring at me is scary

[remote moss]

throw shoe at cat

accept fate

[spice pewter]

I'm not wearing shoes

Im wearing socks

[remote moss]

throw sock

[spice knoll]

alright massive hunt minds

wtf happen here

this is the first time ive been completely stumped at how I didnt get someone

[ancient cave]

both frames you shot were directly on them but I forget penny spread

[spice knoll]

it aint 5 meters lmao

it could have been spread twice ive just never seen that happen quite like that

[dawn mantle]

Pennyshot is wild

It's the gambling man's choice of ammo

[spice knoll]

no hit markers is crazy

[dawn mantle]

You either obliterate them or completely whiff, theres no inbetween

[dawn mantle]

That sounds like pennyshot

[spice knoll]

it was

[remote moss]

never p4nny again

[analog kettle]

That happened to me yesterday but with Ironside. It was like it was an invisible wall in front of them.

[spice knoll]

just never had it miss that bad 2 times in a row before

from 5 meters

[dawn mantle]

You really shouldn't use pennyshot unless you're willing to gamble

[spice knoll]

Oh im a gambler alright

[dawn mantle]

Well you lost twice in a row there. Thankfully they didn't realize and instead ran for it

[ancient cave]

I don't trust pennyshot because they aren't even pennies

[spice knoll]

I got 5 shots all five cant be bad lmfao

[ancient cave]

it's lying to you in its name alone I'm not trusting it anywhere else

[analog kettle]

Pennyshots are really great, when they work, but you can never trust them. I don’t use them anymore because my luck is not with me like that, lol.

[dawn mantle]

Pennyshot is, ironically enough, quite the coin flip

As I said, you either obliterate someone from ranges a shotgun has no business killing at

Or shove the barrel down their gullet, pull the trigger, and still miss somehow

[analog kettle]

Haha, yep. That sounds about right.

[mild flower]

is this where the cards are meant to spawn

[analog kettle]

Yeah, 3 cards there usually.

[dawn mantle]

If they're not there someone beat you to them

If the spiders are still around they probably had shadow

[mild flower]

damn

[mild flower]

yeah there were spiders still

and a bear spawned in the nest LMAO

[dawn mantle]

then yeah they walked in with shadow, took them, and walked out

[mild flower]

ts was terrifying

[analog kettle]

They respawn

[analog kettle]

That was a new one for me! 😂

[mild flower]

the beast is slain

is this a coincidence or do they have a high chance to spawn at the nest cause thats cool

[dawn mantle]

I was gonna say coincidence

but thinking on it now I've only ever seen them near the lair

[analog kettle]

I have been to that nest like 30 times and I have never seen a bear so far.

[dawn mantle]

They can also drop traits which is nice.

[mild flower]

yea ik

[dawn mantle]

Got death cheat oiff the first one I ever killed

[mild flower]

whats the list of ways to get pledge marks again

[analog kettle]

Kill monsters.
Hive 2 points
Immolater 3
Meathead 5
Hellhound 2

Event points.

[mild flower]

ty

[analog kettle]

25 points gives 1 pledgemark

Oh, and now the spiders 1 point

Take a clue 8 event points

Boss target 20

[light sky]

There's a thing in game that shows you all source of pledge marks too

[spice pewter]

why is mama maye 1200

[lofty sinew]

aren't the spooders 2 mostly.. 1 for breaking the egg and 1 for the spider that comes out

i suppose i should say bileweaver cos those things are clearly not spiders

[lofty sinew]

why do game makers assign arbitrary costs to skins? what sort of answer do you expect to this kind of question

[spice pewter]

she was 1000 last year...

[analog kettle]

Now you made me a little uncertain so I don’t dare to say 100%

[light sky]

Nope

1 point only

[lofty sinew]

how would anyone here know? Crytek are somewhat better at communication these days but they sure don't explain every little change like that.

did they change that? i was sure it was 1 per egg and 1 per spooder at least initially

[analog kettle]

They are hoping to gain some monetas from new players that jumps on during the event most likely, lol.

[light sky]

As any previous Holiday exclusive skin

she is 1200

You could get her for free by doing the Halloween questline

[lofty sinew]

i wonder why i didn't get her. did i just not finish that halloween questline? i guess not

[light sky]

afaik, the Price always been 1200 for them

[analog kettle]

The battlepass during the Halloween last time?! Wasn’t that the pumpkins?

[lofty sinew]

yeah iirc (and i often don't) maye was always a BB skin?

[light sky]

2023 Halloween Event

The Questline

[analog kettle]

Ah, okey!

[lofty sinew]

well there you go. I definitely played it

at least my body did. brain was apparently elsewhere

[light sky]

Tho Questlines doesn't exist anymore, I liked the concept

[lofty sinew]

yeah. i wouldn't mind some difficult-to-complete questlines that were just another thing to maybe try and progress along when you were out of other things if you felt like it

[analog kettle]

I didn’t play when it existed a questline. Is the dark tribute the new version of that or how did it work?

[lofty sinew]

just had a bunch of arbitrary things you had to complete

[crystal bay]

It was more of a battle pass type dealio

with challenges

[light sky]

They were special mini event, challenges that gave skins and other stuff

[lofty sinew]

kill an enemy hunter with a beetle

[crystal bay]

Back when they dealt 5 damage

[lofty sinew]

(though that was the billy story one iirc)

[crystal bay]

Yeah billy story

[analog kettle]

That sounds fun.

[light sky]

Basically you did a quest, gave you points for completion then you unlock the reward

and they had like, 5 chapters

[lofty sinew]

i kinda gave up on the billy story one because of the beetle step from what i remember

[light sky]

with different challenges to do

Beetle one was easy

just sparks poison and beetle

[lofty sinew]

you still had to do it

[light sky]

or wait for a rez

[turbid dock]

i was really new to the game when questlines were a thing so the only thing i remember is occasionally finding like, crocodile traps or some shit around the maps lol, i didn't pay attention to them

[analog kettle]

Haha, what?! How? That would just be pure luck,

[light sky]

Nah

[light sky]

easiest way to do it

[lofty sinew]

i mean these days with the damage the stronger ones do it'd be relatively easy to pull off. it was still doable when they did 5 damage, just took a bit of luck and coordination

[light sky]

then after that is camping bodies with the beetle and kill them again

or just melee kill someone with the beetle in your hands

[mild flower]

ooh dark tribute gives cards?

[light sky]

yes

[turbid dock]

i want a few freaky ass challenges like that to come back, maybe as bonus challenges for the battlepass in addition to the weekly challenges

[analog kettle]

Wait could you hold the beetle in your hand and have a melee at the same time?

[lofty sinew]

i think it'd be better if they were seperate to events so they could be something you could progress if you'd completed the current BP / weekly challlenges or whatever

[light sky]

you can, just hit the melee button

you can effectly, melee with anything

[analog kettle]

I like a challenge so I would be up for challenges like that 100%

[lofty sinew]

you aren't goign to do much damage though. punching an immolator to death with bare hand takes like 10+ hits

[turbid dock]

the only thing remotely similar we have rn is the hammer throw achievement 😔

give me more freaky challenges

make me get a kill with a decoy

[analog kettle]

Yep, I have tried it.

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/prZmr6Ff0eE.gif

[analog kettle]

The hammerthrow many takes a shortcut tbh. They wait for the person to use necro when downed and then throws it, lol.

[turbid dock]

yeah

[lofty sinew]

obviously the easiest way to pull it off

[ancient whale]

😐

[turbid dock]

now you don't even have to do that

after this update my first attempt at a hammer throw was a 20m hit, instant achievement

i love throwing world weapons now

[lofty sinew]

you can just yeet it at someone pushing a door or whatever. people getting necrod can't juke the shot though

[turbid dock]

its so peak

[analog kettle]

I refuse to do it like that. I want to succeed the real way.

[light sky]

That's the spirit

[lofty sinew]

from the top of the ironworks sniper tower?

[analog kettle]

Haha, if I could pull that off. That would be something to look back at with pride, lol.

[turbid dock]

world weapons are unironically among my main weapons now, i pick them up and initiate the next fight i get into with a throw

[lofty sinew]

yeah if you do do that and don't clip it I'll take it personally

[analog kettle]

As you should, lol. I wouldn’t forget to clip that moment. If I did I would hate myself.

[mild flower]

you think it might do something about shotgun meta? or still cant compete

i forget whether thrown world weapons always one shot torso but i dont think they do sadly

[turbid dock]

they do now

[mortal basin]

they do

[turbid dock]

any range, any body part

[mild flower]

oh nice!

[turbid dock]

it's spear on release but slower

big fan

[turbid dock]

not sure, it's kinda bad for peeking but for the time being nobody dodges them

you'll lose peeking against a shotgun, or at the very least trade

i frankly find it better against riflers since you just throw and forget about it, they get tunnel vision trying to aim at you since you're not aiming back and bam

bonk

they forgor to dodge the flying hammer

[urban steppe]

I can't wait for the 3 months to be over

so I don't have to see another dum dum wildland again

126 base dmg + 8 dmg per sec bleed 🤔

who thought this was a good idea

[turbid dock]

they should keep the wildland as a scarce weapon but remove the dum dum

[urban steppe]

510 muzzle vlel btw

like slawg

[remote moss]

its very annoying to fight

[urban steppe]

this thing is doing mosin levels of damage

at mosin muzzle velo

[remote moss]

but its like, it doesnt do anything unless youre trying to push or something

[urban steppe]

126 + 8 puts it in long ammo dmg territory

[turbid dock]

with ranger swift levering capabilities and potentially medium FMJ pen, it's crazy strong

big fan, but remove the dum dum

[urban steppe]

too strong

they mashed every winfield into 1

and gave it long ammo damage

LOL

[turbid dock]

i mean

[lofty parrot]

There is still no real good site or tool to show ur MMR and ur gain/loss right?

[urban steppe]

126 is literally krag territory

[turbid dock]

at least a lever action medium rifle finally competes with the long ammo bolt actions that have dominated for 20 years lmfao

[lofty sinew]

it is not publicly accessible in any way these days afaik

[urban steppe]

only issue is that it holds 2-3X the amount in the mag and shoots faster... + has dum dum

[remote moss]

it two taps to leg up close

you know what fucking means? that fucking means youll land levering kills at 30m easily

[turbid dock]

yup

[open tree]

Hey chat this is stupid to ask. With the new event we didn’t get a new boss ? Just a location filled with baby spiders?

[remote moss]

25m is consistent, 30m is if your aim is cracked

[lofty sinew]

i feel like FMJ is situationally stronger than dum dum tbh

[remote moss]

yes, respawning babies

[turbid dock]

yup, no new boss

[lofty parrot]

well it never rly was ... sadly... its weird and wonky since this game started

[turbid dock]

and spiders all over the map

[remote moss]

yeah, current fmj wildland is not interesting to fight. its levering is too accurate, and the rifle still holds up at range

[lofty sinew]

you can really swiss cheese soft cover with that thing

[crystal bay]

Wildland is a ridiculous gun

[remote moss]

at least you sacrifice bodyshot range with winfield

[light sky]

https://medal.tv/games/hunt-showdown/clips/kwLIl1Fog5oc7Brm7?invite=cr-MSx1QWQsNzAwNDkyNTc&v=20

I found this clip again

one of my favs

[lofty sinew]

being caught out of position with wildland fmj is being caught without hard cover

[remote moss]

thats peak rng

[remote moss]

look on the bright side, people dont main semi auto because they cant aim semi auto

so theyre stuck on mosin and just regular wildland most of the time

the ones that do use levering cant make it consistent past 20m cause of the same aim issues, just bad rng

[urban steppe]

yeah]

[turbid dock]

i collect Wildlands like nitros and avtos rn, i love running it

[lofty sinew]

yeah but spam is one of those trigger words that makes people froth regardless

[turbid dock]

it's funny as long as it's a scarce gun. If it gets added to the shop for 1000 hunt bucks it'll stop being funny

[lofty sinew]

i like the idea of there being actually juicey guns to loot other than just "oh well I guess i should take this guys mosin"

[turbid dock]

both wildland and the homestead should cost like 6 pledge marks tho

[ancient whale]

Really enjoying the Mako buff. Less vertical recoil was a good change to make it feel better.

[remote moss]

fuck no, not enough pledge points to go around

[turbid dock]

absolutely

[remote moss]

exp, registers, and boon in the middle of the game too valuable

[turbid dock]

yeah that's the idea

[remote moss]

id be salty as shit if its 6 marks

[lofty sinew]

i've been hearing a lot of mako in the rounds i've played weirdly.

[remote moss]

yeah the recoil changes

which means "we didnt touch this but players who had no idea how to wait for the recoil to stop itself can use it now"

lol

[light sky]

That's literally what killed the Shredder

Bad idea

[turbid dock]

it's good that they're rare

[analog kettle]

I played that weapon so much yesterday. Love it now.

[light sky]

They are just a better Centennial and a better rival

A Mosin and Crown still better than them

Lol

[turbid dock]

the homestead isn't that crazy

but the wildland is genuinely fucking nuts

[remote moss]

better to release strong than weak and never get touched, theyre scarcing broken weapons like explo crossbow so at least that shows they will eventually focus on balancing

at least i hope so

[turbid dock]

it's an all in one swiss knife multi-tool of a rifle

[ancient whale]

It's such a fun gun, I still enjoyed it before the buff but the recoil was getting in the way of it

[turbid dock]

jack of all trades, master of all too

[urban steppe]

wildlands with fmj = better than the krag
you got like what 3X the mag size
speed loader
and levering

wildlands with dum dum = mosin level damage after 1 second if you don't stop bleed

[lofty sinew]

i don't think it'd be particularly bad if the scarce guns took more pledge points. not that i've encountered them an oppressive amount. but you know. if they start being everywhere it would make sense

[analog kettle]

Same, I used it a lot earlier also but as you said the recoil could be a little pain in the..

[remote moss]

yeah, not fun to fight

[turbid dock]

I need to test how fast the wildland cycles without iron eye

[mild flower]

i personally think fmj is the better option, penetration is really good with such a fast high capacity rifle and dumdum for guaranteed mosin level damage you could just play mosin and get tons of penetration instead of none

and it already downs a 125hp hunter, so dumdum doesnt help there

[analog kettle]

Remember the Shreddar?! lol and dead
9 pledge marks.

They will do changes if there will be too much complaining.

[lofty sinew]

the shredder got the double tap though

it was nerfed and it was made wildly expensive

i don't think it would have completely died if they didn't do both

[mild flower]

which isnt always a good thing, this community likes to complain about things that don't really need changing, then complain about the change they made because of their complaining

[lofty sinew]

i don't think that's the same people

the "community" very rarely unanimously agrees on anything

revive bolts being the closest example we've ever had

and even then you have people coming in and moaning about the loss of their sweet sweet revive bolts still

[analog kettle]

Yeah, as soon as there are too many people involved in something there will be complaints. All people will find their own problems with something.

[lofty sinew]

during the ~ 2 weeks downtime between events we had people in here complaining that the vanilla downtime was both too long, and too short.

[analog kettle]

This was the shortest ever, lol.

[remote moss]

its so fucking weird that they actually touched explosive crossbow and frag bow

its well deserved if they dont want to hard balance it yet, but never expected it

[blazing flint]

Will they add the new bubble Darryl to the game after the event or will it be gone forever after this?

[lofty sinew]

I think the explo xbow and frag arrow thing is just another example of crytek doing their typical overswing thing where when the finally pay attention to a thing, they go too far

in this case, any ammo or weapon type anyone has ever moaned about more than twice

[blazing flint]

I didnt realize it was an event weapon I thought it was just a new rival variant

[turbid dock]

ok yeah looks like the wildland functions identically to the centennial, 1.6s cycle time without iron eye, 1.4s with iron eye

[analog kettle]

Centennial is so darn good. I love that freaking weapon.

[lofty parrot]

Can at least someone tell me "rly" give u MMR?
Only extracting with bounty or kills/Assist aswell?

I started playing again 5 Days ago and had to "start" from 3* again
Since then I solo win about 40-45% of my rounds
In Duo we had 11 round and won 7
And trio is 1 round 1 Win
nearly every game i make 4+ kills mostly vs 4* and 5*. In the last 3 Games I had 13 Kills solo
I also managed to win enough round back2back to get 2 hunters form 0 to lv 50
And still i am 3*... holy...

[analog kettle]

I have wanted to try Wildland but I haven’t had any luck finding it so far. And believe me, I have searched for it.

[turbid dock]

there's a funny name for this, for attributing two conflicting opinions from a general mass of people to the same people

[turbid dock]

hah, you want a spoiler?

[remote moss]

just because someone wants to grind more in hunt doesnt mean the average normal person does

[analog kettle]

Shoot! 💯

[turbid dock]

you can only ever find it in the spider's nest, in the weapon crates there for 3 pledge marks

either that or the homestead, 50/50

[lofty sinew]

to be fair, i love the centennial, but levering it is rarely a thing i do.

[analog kettle]

I have been there around 30 times and always the Homestead 😮‍💨

[turbid dock]

lmao what really

insanely unlucky

[analog kettle]

Yeah, unfortunately

[lofty sinew]

rngesus is a fickle deity

[granite blade]

enjoy it while you can

[analog kettle]

I know. That’s how I roll. Luck isn’t with me, lol.

[turbid dock]

okay i just prayed to RNGesus, he says you'll find a wildland among your 3 next crates

[lofty sinew]

unfortunately it's also random wether rngesus is telling fibs or not

[lofty parrot]

Not rly an answer and nahhh i want my 5* back :(((

[blazing flint]

You think it will be added to the weapons pull after the event or will it stay exclusive?

[turbid dock]

this feels like something that will stay

as a scarce weapon of sorts

potentially only found on like, horses?

and dark tribute?

in towers maybe?

i hope a nerfed version of it stays

without dum dum

[lofty sinew]

only kills and deaths affect your individual MMR. things like successful extracts I think can affect your team match MMR. Deaths to people in brackets below you make you lose more than people above you, and killing people above your current rank gives you more, and below less.

i think they will just continue to add weapons to the scarce weapon pool and in future instead of 50/50 it will be 1/4 or whatever because there will be 4 spicey scarce guns

or at least, that is what i would do

[turbid dock]

Only kills and deaths, and who you kill / die to

kill high mmr players, avoid dying to low mmr players

if you kill a solo, farm them for a second kill hah. They're likely higher mmr than you

[granite blade]

so you mean play the game normally

[turbid dock]

pretty much

[lofty sinew]

attaching too much of your success in the game to your bracket is doing it wrong, imho. for what thats worth. You can of course take it as seriously as you want to.

[turbid dock]

^

i like getting thrown into lower mmrs every now and then

[lofty parrot]

1. Ty for answer
2. ok then veeeeery weird - I kill ALOT more than getting killed and mostly both to higher MMR than me :/
   I even had this round 2 Days ago. Lobby was 3-5*
   Still only 3* 🙁

[turbid dock]

i've played kinda shitty recently so i'm back down to 4*, and the games are chill compared to the sweatfests i've attended in 5-6

[granite blade]

im still in 6 but i've been enjoying avto a bit more recently(blame glide)

[lofty sinew]

don't worry about short term changes so much. they made changes to make rank volatility lesser a while back. if you mostly kill more than you die, you will trend up over time until you are in lobbies where that mostly stops being the trend.

[clever olive]

Sam Altman is trying to kill me

[lofty sinew]

he tuk ur jerb?

[lofty parrot]

Thos round I meant

[analog kettle]

Speaking about kills and things like that. Have someone experienced that it says you killed 4. But when you look at the team details you can only see 3?! I downed one 2 times but it didn’t show anywhere.

[remote moss]

6 star has been dumb, its a lot of aggressive long ammo players that dont play in good spots so they lose aim fights. then there are the ones that only perform well in forests cause you cant fucking see anything and theyre just holding one way angles in the bushes

[turbid dock]

yeah that happens some times

[clever olive]

Sam Altman is probably the anti-christ

[lofty sinew]

pretty sure there are still some weird bugs with the post match screen details

[remote moss]

feel bad for the aggro ones, theyre the ones playing the game but dont have the right gun even when running bornie and dolch

[turbid dock]

i think he's actually just some weird tech bro

[clever olive]

No, he’s a killer and a devil worshipper

[turbid dock]

i heard rumors that sam altman is one of the secretive Backers that buy bounties from the hunters actually

[urban steppe]

they need to give the wildland the shredder treatment imo

lowkey funny how the community was up in arms about the krag being too strong a while back when it got buffed to do 125

those guys have been awfully silent when they made the wildlands krag 2

[granite blade]

i mean, if they have a rifle w/o a shotgun and they choose to not respect the shotgun and die to it, thats on them

[analog kettle]

That’s me. I’m blind in some compounds, lol. Not 6 star though

[lofty sinew]

people refusing to take risks ahead of just giving it a go is part of what people don't love about higher bracket play. It suits some people regardless obvs

[clever olive]

Sam Altman murdered a whistleblower who would’ve exposed chatGPT for selling your data

[remote moss]

yep, games hard to fucking see shit in

[granite blade]

personally i will do my best to avoid shotgun range the moment that i know they have a shotgun and i dont

[remote moss]

yeah but they honestly deserve better, since theyre the ones working to make the game fun

[lofty sinew]

only because it's scarce. there would be more noise if it was just a permanent addition. and I think we will probably see a growing turn against it the longer the event has run. it's early days now and people havent been cleaned up by it 10 times yet

[remote moss]

so much better than shotgun guys that just camp

[lofty parrot]

I mean I dont know how much MMR u lose to lower ranks
I died a few times to 1 and 2 *
BUT those mostly were fresh Acc with an KDA with 6+ xD we are talking about several hundred kills and only a few dozen deaths - HOW can they have such low rankings with such an KDA?

I suppose those are msurf or cheater Acc´s anyways but still how?

[lofty parrot]

This was a very fun explo corrbow round ... sadly this time is over with this update... i RLY hate it... scarce sht

[turbid dock]

usually i would recommend bringing a bow with frag arrows to push these shotgun players, but y'know...

they took them from us

[lofty sinew]

a lot of streamers get new accounts regularly to have that account for a specific playstyle or whatever. smurfs probably, cheaters maybe. some people are just generally cracked at shooters and they dominate any FPS they play

[remote moss]

jokes on you, i just dry rush

if pennyshot wasnt so op, id decoy fuse and rush

well, thats a lie

[granite blade]

the ones i hate are the teams that will intentionally avoid eachother just to fuck over the middle team

[remote moss]

i poke and prod until i find a fucking entrance and then duel, dry pushing is just death unless i know its a 1v1 and i can spam shoulder peeks

[analog kettle]

That’s the truth. Kingfisher foundry is one of them for me.
There are a couple of them I can’t see shit, lol.

[lofty sinew]

as for how they havent gained rank in a few hundred kills, idk. there are probably still sneaky ways to deliberately tank your MMR

[remote moss]

im ok with that change btw

i hate aoe damage so much

[analog kettle]

Same, as soon as I hear them I keep my distance.

[turbid dock]

i'm not, it's the wrong nerf, by far

[remote moss]

at least levering the floor with mako explo is still expensive, need to aimpunch then click once to body for a win

levering twice just in case of bulwark

[granite blade]

decoy fuses are still hidden meta

[lofty sinew]

the only truly effective way to beat the MMR weird edgecases is to just not take it too seriously. Hunt is not an eSport and it never will be. You are allowed to take it as seriously as you like, but that is often to your own detriment and enjoyment of the game.

[turbid dock]

frag arrows should get

1. increased fuse time
2. reduced ammo and resupply count
3. increased time to nock a new arrow after shooting

they shouldn't be scarce 😔

[remote moss]

yes

[lofty parrot]

Yay some sht that riot does 😄

[remote moss]

its too bad a lot of the streamers i want to destroy are in eu

i cant stand the gameplay there anymore

[analog kettle]

Yeah, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. There are definitely things they could do to keep them.

[granite blade]

sometimes they go beach

[remote moss]

the what

[granite blade]

beach = na east

[remote moss]

damn, havent spotten one yet, only smaller streamers and clanners

[round geyser]

I really hate how it switches game modes after every fucking clash match

[granite blade]

i only know of rachta and delany that do it so far

[analog kettle]

I have given them feedback about that.

[granite blade]

but i've also ran into kahlamity

he mains na east/west

[remote moss]

when will i find funny man to stream me killing them

at least theres a chance, appreciate it

[granite blade]

as for rachta and delaney, they usually dont go beach until 2-3 hours of stream have passed and you can just ask if they went beach and you'll probably get an answer :v

[remote moss]

got it

[turbid dock]

Lol why do they do that

[granite blade]

ill actually actively encourage rachta to come beach when eu is doing... the eu thing

[remote moss]

yes, such fun eu gameplay

[granite blade]

because eu does the eu thing

[turbid dock]

Ratting?

[remote moss]

i really hope those eu players also trying hitting up na sometimes

most of our games have people straight rushing the moment they heair noise

[turbid dock]

Lmfao yeah

[remote moss]

good luck ratting when our 3rd parties are gonna outaim you

[lofty parrot]

Was there any reason from crytek why making frag arrows and explo bolts only scarce now?
I dont get it

[turbid dock]

The games i play on NA are way easier because you guys make so much damn noise

[remote moss]

there are too many 3rd parties, honestly

[granite blade]

because we want to fight

[remote moss]

i just want to chill and take my time to break into a compound, give me like 3 fucking minutes and ill be good

but nooo, someones already rushing with long ammo up the ass

lol

[remote moss]

broken gameplay cause both are unreactable, theyre free dmg in compounds that you cannot escape if it lands near you in any way, gameplay is very bad when theyre used properly

just really really bad to fight. betting on player skill isnt a good enough balancing measure for it, but most people dont know that it can be that broken in the first place

[remote moss]

i hope the long ammo brain worms find you

[turbid dock]

I can't speak for explo bolts, but frag arrows should just have been nerfed

They're such a valuable stalemate breaking tool

Explo bolts probably didn't do anything healthy for the game

[lofty parrot]

Sound to me like 90% of the shotgun inside for ANY building xD
And still so many people have bulwark - so and explo bolt to the chest only does 123 dmg - while most shotguns 1shot u

[remote moss]

thats fair, except explo bolt will make you die to nearly any gun if it hits a wall or floor near you and the explo bolt never has to show his face

and you can keep spamming it unless they run away or try and push, and pushing is impossible with a fast reload on it and the fact that you can back up too

[turbid dock]

Frag arrows needed increased fuse time most of all, and a reduction in ammo count. That way you keep the space taking ability while removing the ability to spam them for free kills

[remote moss]

exactly

thank you for being a reasonable human being

[turbid dock]

I'm the #1 frag arrow enjoyer

[granite blade]

i wonder when people will discover decoy fuses and how good they are at breaking stalemates

[remote moss]

they wont

i love decoys but i just cant fucking justify using them when i need my pennyshot

[turbid dock]

I would join your cause but i don't have any tool slots left

[ancient whale]

Me who runs it all the time

[granite blade]

i run penny and decoy fuses B)

[remote moss]

you sick monster

where is your horse killer tool

[granite blade]

spear

[remote moss]

oh

yeah fair

i have a healthy hate for ai so i only run dusters

[turbid dock]

Where's your body burning / roof hive removal tool?

[granite blade]

dont need body burning usually

as for roof hives... well... if its early and there is no one around, just take a detour path to kill it. if you are in a fight, just shoot it.

[lofty parrot]

But for this they have a rly limited sweetspot in range
To far and u have to aim so high and forward of the target, dat its soooo ez to dodge them
To close and u lose to every fast firign weapon and shotgun

[turbid dock]

I actually don't burn bodies that often myself, but if i have to leave the area to find a lantern to burn that one solo he's gonna get back up like the nerd he is

[granite blade]

luckily i play in teams only so i can have a teammate watch the body

[mild flower]

oh there are absolutely people who have switched up after the thing they were complaining about got changed in a way they wanted

[remote moss]

depends, its easy to arc it anywhere in compound range once you get practice and it cant be dodged or reacted too. you can get out of range from where someone is shooting it, but thats assuming theyre blind and guess firing. point is that you can use it AROUND corners and behind cover, making yourself basically never exposed and they cant shoot back

their only option is to back the fuck up, you know

its not something you want to experience personally but youll probably never meet someone who knows how to use it like that

[granite blade]

make it travel slower in the air and make dauntless usable on it B)

[remote moss]

i dont think thats enough, tbh

[granite blade]

its not but it would be funny

[remote moss]

mid air catch would be a hilarious way to hurt their feelings

just sprint straight into them and spam f

[turbid dock]

Fuse time, ammo/resupply count, and time between arrows are the right areas to hit with a nerf

[remote moss]

we feel you, frag bow enjoyer

i dunno about explosive crossbow, it cant really be balanced as long as we're using the same health system thing

[lofty parrot]

Well I never saw a 5*+ player use it - but below the most ppl i saw sucked with it
U could ez run towards them over open field just pathing left and right, as long as u were far enough away

I did some kills from start of cpompound to nearly end - or across the uhmm maddona chruch? dunno what its called right now 😄

But still I barely never saw anyone using it well

[mild flower]

would this mean you can dauntless bomb lance bolts when theyre stuck to you unless they're on your elbow because everyone knows you can't lick your elbow

[remote moss]

yeah, its fun to fuck them up

[remote moss]

maybe

[turbid dock]

I can deal with the increased fuse time, I'll find a funny way to bounce it off a wall through a window or something 😔

[remote moss]

nah, dont worry about making it hit them, bro

just use it for space and boom, youre in the compound

[turbid dock]

Yeah

[remote moss]

now you can work your way to forcing them into a bad situation, at least they can never push you cause you can drop it right on your feet

[turbid dock]

Space taking and wall bounce trickshots are the main appeals imo

[remote moss]

wall bounce trickshots are really pleasant way to describe ignoring cover

[turbid dock]

Lmao

[turbid dock]

I don't know either, it feels fundamentally broken

I can't imagine a way for explosive bolts to be healthy for the game except for like, giving them a fuse time lmao

[remote moss]

fuse time and being able to use dauntless on it

funny dauntless meta, force you run that perk thats useless most of the time

[polar solstice]

Yo guys, was 2nd key binding (alternate key) really got removed?

[turbid dock]

It's gone in the menu, but you can still achieve it by editing the config file

Let me know if you need help with that

[polar solstice]

Yes please! But will their anti cheat or whatever act up then?

[turbid dock]

Nope

You're just changing your keybinds manually, editing settings in game makes changes to the same file

[lofty parrot]

Like I said - it dont find it broken
As long as u have Bulwark (which many ppl does) u only get 123 dmg on a direct hit
U will survive it, even when u were done once :/

If they nerf this, they finally have to nerf all those shotguns 😄

[polar solstice]

Aight, point me in the right direction please sir

[urban steppe]

the very same update they made it so you could loot concertina bombs off of bodies LOL

[turbid dock]

give me 2 secs

[urban steppe]

idk how they expect us to breach compounds now

outside of qmastering a springfield sawn off

or going springfield/martini

[turbid dock]

What's the input you want a second keybind for, and what key do you want to use?

[polar solstice]

Mouse 4, for dark sight

[remote moss]

i mean, its still a skill interaction. i just poke and prod until i find an entrance then flank while theyre stuck fighting my team

as long as its not a tight doorway you cant jump peek, there are reasonable movement options

just risky

[lofty parrot]

Seems like they want the game to be even more camping and stalling than it already was

Sadly

[remote moss]

i swear, they better never nerf bornheim

dolch goes down first

every kill you get with bornheim match, youll perform better with fucking winnie levering

[urban steppe]

ong

[urban steppe]

it is not a skill interaction if they board up every entrance

[turbid dock]

1. head into your hunt folder, probably in your steam library, and find Hunt Showdown\USER\Profiles\default\attributes.xml and open it in a text editor, probably just notepad
2. find the line <Attr name="PC_darkvision_2" value="-1"/> and change the -1 to 258

-1 is the value for unbound, 258 should be the value for mouse 4

[lofty parrot]

ong? ^^

[turbid dock]

back to good old single use dynamites and decoy fuses 😔

[polar solstice]

I see this line on ping marker;
<Attr name="PC_ping_marker_1" value="258"/>

And that's my mouse 3. Would mouse 4 be 259 then?

[turbid dock]

oh yeah wait i was looking in the wrong config file

you're right, 258 is mouse 3

[lofty parrot]

Noob tactic activated:
3 People
3 Big packs dynamite
And hopeing u get some kills when all 3 threw in at different spots at the same time 😄

[turbid dock]

yep, checked my current config, mouse 4 is my ping button and its value is 259

[rose elm]

I miss the reusable waxed dynamite skin xD

[urban steppe]

except you know
it takes more than 1 small stick to clear 1 wire

you are always going to be operating at a loss vs concertina wire if you are using consumables
you either need 1 or 2

[turbid dock]

yeah it's annoying

[urban steppe]

can't even try to clear it by hand

cause they are going to try to hit you through it with long ammo/fmj

[turbid dock]

unless you're a gigachad breaching with a steel ball or harpoon bomb lance

[urban steppe]

you move the wrong piece of wire and the next shot goes to you instead of the wire

[turbid dock]

but i can't do that every game

[rose elm]

Bring red barrels ∆∆

[turbid dock]

i wonder

[rose elm]

Too bad we can't throw them

[lofty parrot]

explo mako with levering ^^

[granite blade]

for a small dynamite, 1 is enough. for decoy fuses, it depends on the spread of the concertina but usually 1-2 leaving you 1 available for a push(2 if frontiersman)

[turbid dock]

cooking

[urban steppe]

1 is not enough

[lofty parrot]

way will be free
But u will be deaf

[granite blade]

it is enough

[urban steppe]

1 is not enough for a c bomb

[granite blade]

its enough to create a path past it

[urban steppe]

it isn't

[urban steppe]

if the wire bomb is placed in a narrow tunnel
ie path down into brickworks

[lofty parrot]

Ohhhh guys do u think dats why the pucked those mini barrels into the game? to have more ez explosives vs constantina? 😄

[woven cape]

When are they adding bricks

[granite blade]

dynamite or decoy fuses?

[urban steppe]

single stick of dynamite

[granite blade]

alright ill check right now

[turbid dock]

we don't really need that anymore

[urban steppe]

the single stick is not enough to clear it

[turbid dock]

world weapons are big bricks now

[polar solstice]

You are right! That is indeed Mouse 4, tested in game. But found out what I wanted was actually Mouse 5 lmao. I'll figure it out. Thanks! You're the coolest

[turbid dock]

hah

nice

[woven cape]

I need bricks to throw so people are like "What was that noise !"

[urban steppe]

its moreover the fact that if its in a tunnel like what I just described
the small stick will be stopped by the outer edge of said wire

the blast radius isn't enough to clear the bits at the back most the time

[turbid dock]

people haven't figured it out yet but throwing axes and sledgehammers is the new meta

spears can now be deleted from your tool slots

[granite blade]

you can adjust where the dynamite is thrown into the wire

[urban steppe]

I remember in early hunt
when anything could break wire, I had to throw a hammer a billion times to break through wire without exposing myself for a push

[granite blade]

and i just tested, it does clear nearly a whole conc bomb .-.

[urban steppe]

key word, nearly

when you push in and get snagged on the remnants

you get slowed down

annd shot to death

[granite blade]

the only remnants were off to the side, giving a clear walkway

[urban steppe]

which is lowkey the big issue since it kills movement momentum

ie if you try to bumrush in with melee attachment/shotgun

get slowed

and then perferated by joe schmoe with a romero in the corner

[turbid dock]

the second best way to clear concertina is to run through it holding the stop bleed button like a gigachad

[urban steppe]

yeah but then you can't shoot back

[turbid dock]

best way is to be a bomb lance terachad

[urban steppe]

and get domed

[urban steppe]

you mean quartermaster a springfield shorty

with double explosive ammo

this is the way....

🤔

[turbid dock]

hmmm

i feel like a lance gives you more value for your slots

two slot specialized breaching device vs three slot giant close range fuck off multitool

[granite blade]

tested conc bomb with 1 basic dynamite multiple times now, it does clear enough of the conc bomb.

[urban steppe]

It appears I must conduct a 2nd season of hunt showdown myth busters

in a few mins, I'll try to get onto the shooting range

[remote moss]

takes like 3 decoy fuses

its bs

maybe depends on the angle the conc was thrown at

[granite blade]

thats exactly what i was doing

[urban steppe]

its entirely dependant on how far you can lodge the explosive through the wire

if it gets caught by the outermost wire

[remote moss]

ah

stupid

[urban steppe]

you won't destroy it in 1 go

[granite blade]

tested in the tunnel area with varying degrees of confinement

every single dynamite cleared an entire walkway

you just have to aim the dynamite to land in the center of the conc bomb which is easy with the indicator

[tender tundra]

Hello everyone!
Is it true that Crytek stopped to add some lore notes since "Tides"-events (I mean Tide of Desolation, Tide of Corruption etc.)?
I mean I tried to get onto the lore, but since update Desolation Wake there is no any more lore notes, right?

[urban steppe]

like I said, you have to get it into the middle
which involves you moving in pretty close

[granite blade]

why do you have to be pretty close?

[urban steppe]

Don't you have to at least see the aim indicator go into the middle

idk maybe I have bad eyes

[remote moss]

yeah, theres lore in the weapons and equipment in BP now though

[granite blade]

you can see it from max range

also if you land the dynamite in the center of the conc bomb but the indicator is still touching wire, it will just fall down into the middle still

[tender tundra]

That's sad(
Thank you

[turbid dock]

Surefoot should let you sprint while aiming world weapons 😤

[urban steppe]

o

[remote moss]

does kiteface lower the sound when youre falling?

[granite blade]

i blow up conc wire alot with decoy fuses

[remote moss]

im having fun playing this game like cs, im popping a semi auto shot off every time i drop down to disguise it

really good for pushes

[urban steppe]

yeah this might be a skill issue on my end then

[granite blade]

if you were saying it takes more than 1 decoy fuse, i cant really agrue that because some conc bomb rng spread can be a bit too much for just 1 decoy fuse

[urban steppe]

yeah it might just be me failing to throw it through the wire

[granite blade]

thought it was just lightfoot that did that

[urban steppe]

and getting it stuck

[granite blade]

that'll happen in intense situations so its understandable

also the dynamite does take time to actually throw after you release mouse 1

[remote moss]

lightfoot affects the fucking sound you take from falling dmg??

[granite blade]

falling damage idk

i meant falling in general

[remote moss]

the step, yeah

too bad

anyway, no one seems to be catching on when i shoot to disguise the drops sooo

[dawn mantle]

Any skill that'd help with bomb lance with harpoons?

[remote moss]

good for me

[dawn mantle]

I've learned they are apparently my only counter

Apart from getting sniped but not much counters that

[remote moss]

personal skill? better movement, jump peeks shoulder peeks, bait it out

[granite blade]

i guess since kiteskin can reduce the amount of damage you take, you can technically make less sound since there is more wiggle room between your character making a slight grunt sound(small damage) and a loud grunt sound(heavy damage)

[dawn mantle]

Nah, they were quick on their feet

[remote moss]

hmm, not sure if its worth then

[dawn mantle]

I was just unfortunately the prioritized threat in a 3 way fight

[remote moss]

the highest place to drop from while pushing is usually only the 2nd floor

and with regen shot and masking, it should be enough

[dawn mantle]

afaik no

Lightfoot affects the actual audio of you landing

If you take damage from it, you make an additional hurt noise

[urban steppe]

its kiteskin that alters the noise
since the scream you make is based on the amount of dmg taken during the fall

[dawn mantle]

^

[urban steppe]

if you take half the damage
the scream will be
uh
less or something

[dawn mantle]

Kiteskin reduces damage and ergo the pain noise

[urban steppe]

^

[dawn mantle]

but lightfoot affects the actual sound of your feet touching the ground

[analog kettle]

Yeah, it does. Noise traps barley hears. You can climb and jump down a certain height very quitley.

[remote moss]

footsies dont do anything, ladder flanks are more useful

[granite blade]

ladder and vault flanks ye

[urban steppe]

They do if you know what you are doing
certain parts of the map itself acts as a ledge
I can jump all the way down from the church tower and make very little noise if I hug the walls and land on parts jutting out to slow my drop

[granite blade]

being able to vault silently is pretty nuts

[urban steppe]

old shot of the church but you get the idea

you can use those parts of the map to slow your fall

with kiteskin, you will barely make any noise

[analog kettle]

It’s really nice!

[remote moss]

ah thats useful

[granite blade]

death window...

i kinda miss death window

[urban steppe]

😆

[urban steppe]

yeah, its insane if you stack both traits together

and know which walls to hug

[simple basin]

Bruhhh there's so many cheaters in 6 stars this event, is there any region I can switch to to get less of these asswipes in my lobbies

[analog kettle]

How do you know they are cheating? What do you experience?

[tender tundra]

By the way, can anyone tell me what settings I need to set to make my character's shadow looks right?
I mean if I take for example baseball bat with skin of stick - I still can see that the shape of shadow of it looks like I hold a baseball bat but not wooden stick.

[simple basin]

Suspicious gameplay & steam profile

[granite blade]

known bug for a little while now lol

[granite blade]

steam profile doesnt mean anything

as for suspicious gameplay, everyone has moments that seem suspicious so

[simple basin]

That's just false

Steam profile can tell a lot

[analog kettle]

In what way?

[granite blade]

i have a game ban, what does that tell you

[woven cape]

Mawie ! Catch

[granite blade]

[analog kettle]

What did you do, lol?

[woven cape]

Noooooo not a BOMB

[granite blade]

i was dumb, thats what i did

[simple basin]

Someone who cheats in other games is more likely to cheat in this one

[urban steppe]

😿

[granite blade]

surely

[analog kettle]

Yeah, the lesson should be not to cheat I guess, lol. At least you said you were being dumb so. 💯

[granite blade]

ill still cheat in minecraft and aint no one gonna tell me otherwise

[simple basin]

I mean any cheater can say "No one is gonna tell me otherwise", doesn't make it not cringe

[urban steppe]

Xray vision texture pack 😎

[granite blade]

you see that house i built? all in creative baby B)

[analog kettle]

Why do you wanna cheat? An sincere and honest question. I hate to cheat because it doesn’t feel like a win.

[simple basin]

^

[granite blade]

laziness honestly

[simple basin]

I would've never guessed

And you support AI art, ur lazy to the core 👍

[granite blade]

yes because its free

[simple basin]

So are plenty of art softwares lol

[turbid dock]

practicing world weapon throws in the range, gonna become the #1 world champion at shovel throwing

i can hit up to 30m throws mostly reliably now

[granite blade]

testing with moving targets or?

[turbid dock]

no just stationary rn

i'll force a friend to be my test dummy in due time

[granite blade]

because unfortunately testing on a dummy that doesnt move doesnt do much and crytek doesnt understand that .-.

[turbid dock]

yeah i really want moving targets

get those 3d artists to work on some moving rails crytek

[granite blade]

they could literally just put grunts into the shooting range and set their behaviour to act like you have shadow

[turbid dock]

Lmao yeah

[analog kettle]

I have said that forever.
I want moving targets to practice at. When they are standing still it’s not a match.

[ancient whale]

They literally have the ability to put in npc hunters now lol

But naaah lets not do that lol

[granite blade]

i completely forgot about that :v

[analog kettle]

And still they are not doing it! Come on Crytek

[remote moss]

they should add 12 ai hunters to bounty hunt

add more chaos, less 3rd party shenanigans

[quiet wedge]

I LIKE THE EVENT BUT GOD DAM DUDE

some1 wanna excplain to me how i go to delete a trait

deletes hunter

[simple basin]

Same, event is awesome. But there's some real issues holding the game back

Lost a hunter earlier because our team got stuck in the ground

[remote moss]

hover over it and press r?

[sinful aurora]

it's spacebar now

[remote moss]

there are many words left unsaid

never noticed

[turbid dock]

actually a very funny idea

[ancient whale]

Sigh gotta love explosions hitting you through a brick wall

[dawn mantle]

ok fuck steel balls

harpoon is better

steel balls just hits but doesn't kill most of the time

Harpoon, just put crosshair over target and click

[sinful aurora]

!slash

[graceful hedge]

Creator of a voice channel has additional control over it with slash commands.

[dawn mantle]

Do you guys think solo necromancer should have a cooldown rather than be a burn trait?

Like I'm talking dying during the cooldown is proper death, not "just wait out the extra cooldown"

[ancient whale]

Nah

[whole furnace]

Nope

Burn trait is the way to balance it

[turbid dock]

i think it should have a maximum time in which you're allowed to rez maybe

[snow ivy]

I think it should stay a burn trait but solo necro should be regained every time you kill a player

[turbid dock]

rez within 60 secs or goodbye

[granite blade]

guys there is a way to red skull revive without losing any chuncks, what do we think about this

[whole furnace]

Not player kill, but re-obtainable for sure.
Boss banish seems fair.

[whole furnace]

As an exploit?

[granite blade]

hm

its... honestly, idk if it would be classified as an exploit tbh

[whole furnace]

What is it?

[granite blade]

its extremely niche to pull off and requires you to be in trios so

[shy apex]

I think they should re-introduce what they did first time there was self-res. There was an animation over the body to let you know they had quit instead of ressing

[ancient whale]

I'd say boss banish as well, not after every player kill though. Way too much and forgiving.

[snow ivy]

can't really weigh in if you're going to be vague

[whole furnace]

Would make all trades for solos a free necro

[whole furnace]

And how is it done?

Well, is thru mechanics or actually exploits

I can see you can do a red skull revive with a 50 hp bar and as it is about to burn away your 3rd is popping a garden tarot I guess.

[raven totem]

thats a modmail/support one

not a drop in chat one

[turbid dock]

this is probably it

[whole furnace]

Depends if its thru mechanics or exploits

[turbid dock]

or

that doesn't restore, does it

maybe garden stops the burning effect of rezzing

[whole furnace]

It does not restore, but it cures all burning chars

[turbid dock]

yeah so you just pop garden immediately while starting the rez i'm guessing

[dawn mantle]

TIL that other hunters are apparently allowed to just delete all your momentum

they just shot at me and I wasn't getting any speed from running

[turbid dock]

you sure you didn't just jump or crouch too much hah

[whole furnace]

Which is whatever and very conditional.

[dawn mantle]

I was standing

I was making running noises

but they were walking backwards faster than I was running forwards it was that bad

[whole furnace]

To be fair, running into someone usually stops momentum in one way or another.

[dawn mantle]

I don't think this is a good idea

[left orbit]

our randoms really have so much courage: duo burns us and leaves, 3rd teammates hides and goes to extract. okay.

[dawn mantle]

Do chokes put players out?

[granite blade]

secret 🤫

[turbid dock]

i'll share a funny bow trick i found with you if you tell me

[whole furnace]

Then why you coming in here and asking?

[dawn mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmWybnLOPnA Same energy

[whole ocean]

why there are people with like P1 prestige and 3k hours why just why

[granite blade]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-pee-cat-pee-funny-lmfao-gif-14727908981812019274

[turbid dock]

i don't want to lose my shit

prestige 0 at 700 hours

[opal dawn]

P0 gang let's go

[turbid dock]

I have 160k dollaroos, a bunch of contraband skins i don't own, and I'm collecting one lvl 50 hunter of each skin i have

Prestiging would be awful

[opal dawn]

I just don't care about the prestige rewards

I'm here for the game, not the prestige

[dawn mantle]

I'd love to know how someone fucking jumps around a corner and perfectly nails me with a slug shotgun from the hip

like instant he cleared the fucking corner

[turbid dock]

A mix of prefiring and luck probably

[dawn mantle]

There was a time where you'd lose EVERYTHING from a prestige.

[dawn mantle]

Not to mention he literally knew where I was while crouching around with lightfooted

But he made no sound sprinting up to me

[uneven sandal]

prestige bad

[dawn mantle]

@true birch wtf

Tell me how you did that

[turbid dock]

Sometimes people figure out where you are in other ways, or they literally just hear you crouch walk. Can't tell you much more without a clip

[dawn mantle]

My problem is if he could clearly hear me to the point he can prefire a single shot exactly into me midair

Why the fuck couldn't I hear anything from him

[turbid dock]

Could have been standing still waiting around the corner idk

[dawn mantle]

he had been fighting the boss

[turbid dock]

Can't say for sure without ye good olde clip

[dawn mantle]

Well take it up with steelseries wiping my fucking clips because kek I guess?

I've tried to get 6 clips today

only 1 survived

its a neat clip actually might upload it

[urban steppe]

As crytek intended

all the dum dum

[uneven sandal]

these new guns are alright but I can't help but feel like we went:
New gun -> new gun variant -> pretending its new gun, but mostly old gun -> new gun but only for the event -> new variant but it dont even matter -> new variant but we pretend its new gun and its scarce

#media message Never assume the solo is out until you burn them out

[worn oak]

Solo op. Solo happy!

[mild flower]

or they already self revived and you know they didnt use empress or get another necro

[dawn mantle]

I'm still kinda shocked it worked

I think I timed it perfectly

[opal dawn]

Must. Click. Links

[uneven sandal]

theres not even a link to click

[opal dawn]

WTF, how am I now going to become rich from BONES

[dawn mantle]

isn't 10000 roubles like

not that much rn

[uneven sandal]

its like 100 dollar

[dawn mantle]

thats like $120.50 USD

The scammers are getting poorer and poorer

[urban steppe]

they just ended up making krag 2

with the new scarce cent

[uneven sandal]

in russia 100 dollar is not bad though

[uneven sandal]

will that gun even stay in game after the event

[opal dawn]

I think they're testing the waters for it now

Still, it'll just make every other variant of the Cent pointless

That hasn't stopped them before tho, so who knows

[uneven sandal]

I mean other than base kentenial theres like sniper and the funny one

not counting the obrez

[dawn mantle]

It's kind of funny how much of a weird niche I've ended up in

I'm using a tactic many would call stupid, even idiotic

Yet it's successful for me more often than not.

Meanwhile if you put a gun in my hands I'm gonna whiff nearly every shot

[urban steppe]

yes

[uneven sandal]

same with the new rival? cause I think that one is more of an issue

[opal dawn]

Melon is spreading unknown info, don't listen to the rat pact!

[uneven sandal]

unfortunate

surely next event will bring krag avtomat

[urban steppe]

no I mean your copies of the weapon will remain ingame

[broken lake]

was surefoot always 6 points? i thought it was 5 last patch

[urban steppe]

not like the past event

where all the shredders were auto deleted

[low raptor]

180 days is how many months?

6?

yep

[uneven sandal]

I meant available for purchase

or acquisition

[opal dawn]

What? Have they stated that?

[urban steppe]

pretty sure they did

[opal dawn]

Gah damn, gotta hoard a few and make people ask WTF is that gun!? on reddit or in here

[urban steppe]

you can fact check me if you want

[opal dawn]

In a year nobody'll remember it

[uneven sandal]

I feel like whenever I hear 'pretty sure' it's usually synonymous to 'source: trust me bro'

[urban steppe]

because that's what I got out of the psychoghost vid

[opal dawn]

The one about the event?

[dawn mantle]

I will always find it fun when you stand up at the perfect time with necro and it just straight up feels like a scene from a movie where the villain just stands back up behind the protagonist.

[untold stag]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-showdown-hunt-hunt-meme-get-on-hunt-showdown-gif-24553870

[urban steppe]

yes

[dawn mantle]

iirc

The gun will stay in the game

That's confirmed

[urban steppe]

^

[dawn mantle]

What form that takes is unknown

[uneven sandal]

what does the garden card do

[dawn mantle]

whether it's always scarce, if it'll be buyable, or otherwise

[dawn mantle]

heal

Do you have one on you?

You can check it's details screen to see exactly what it does

[uneven sandal]

no I dont have any

I had one before but I just used it and nothing happened

haven't seen any since

[dawn mantle]

Note this is a heal

NOT a restore

[uneven sandal]

thats crazy

also did they remove mmr decay from the game entirely

[turbid dock]

need to buy more slots soon

[dawn mantle]

So it'll fill your HP bars, but wont recover any that have been burnt

[uneven sandal]

I had like half a year break and im still 6

I thought they were supposed to amplify the decay

[uneven flume]

Nah u just need to die more

[ocean briar]

!tarot

[graceful hedge]

[urban steppe]

I feel like it would remain "scarce" in a sense that it is a really rare spawn on the workbench or towers

[uneven sandal]

oh right thats another one, what does 'dark sight decoy' mean, is it just a player silhouette in dark sight?

[urban steppe]

no way they are letting us buy it out of the gate

or else no one would pick up any other medium again imo

[ocean briar]

Yes it appears to be another hunter when someone is in enhanced dark sight

[dawn mantle]

what exactly is a dark sight decoy?

[uneven sandal]

alright wicked

and The Devil is just Crackshot right

[ocean briar]

it appears to be another hunter when someone is in enhanced dark sight

[urban steppe]

yes

[dawn mantle]

so someone with unenhanced dark sight wouldn't see them?

[ocean briar]

Correct

[dawn mantle]

Only if someone has pain sense or boost?

[ocean briar]

Boost yes, I’m not sure the decoy would show up on pain sense

[dawn mantle]

Just pulled the empress after dying, next hunter's getting a bit of a boost

[uneven sandal]

thats crazy it went from just being a pact perk to being a card and removing your chunk

[barren forge]

servers down?

[dawn mantle]

Watch me, as a solo, pull Relentless from Empress

[uneven sandal]

honestly I cant believe necro is still in the game as it was

at least revive bolts are gone

[opal dawn]

wdym

[dawn mantle]

I still feel like Necro shouldn't burn

[whole furnace]

It should

[dawn mantle]

But if you die within x time of your revive it's gone

You cant self revive again

[opal dawn]

That'd just encourage more camping

[uneven sandal]

like the solo necro game loop is still the same thing of standing over bbq

[whole furnace]

Necro being a burn triat was a huge quality boost to both solo and team gameplay.

[uneven sandal]

or you get a second chance in a scenario where u shouldnt really get one buy lady luck smiles

[dawn mantle]

I'm not saying you should be allowed to get up, die, get up die

[opal dawn]

Well yeah, but it's just one time

[dawn mantle]

But if you get up and die in, say, the next 5 minutes you're dead for good

[uneven sandal]

yea but that dont make it right

[opal dawn]

Trios get like... 15 revives in total vs one person getting it once

[uneven sandal]

well yea but thats kinda a specific of playing in a trio

[opal dawn]

Most people play trio...

[uneven sandal]

yea

[dawn mantle]

should I start soloing into trios to face lower MMRs? Or just stick to soloing into duos?

[uneven sandal]

a lambo can go 300 km/h but u dont see me sticking a jet engine on a scooter cause 'lambo can go much faster'

u know what im saying, like theres a point where u should just say thats a perk of that specific gamemode/matching type and move on

you can't force balance into thing when the only solution is to do it through kinda degen mechanics

[dawn mantle]

quick question

wasn't there at some point the whole thing where you could hold F on a hunter and set them alight?

Or am I completely misremembering something

[opal dawn]

Wha?

[uneven sandal]

I dont think so

[opal dawn]

Like... Burn them in dark sight?

[snow ivy]

how, its the Rival but good, 2 Romeroes taped together. The Crown, Specter, Slate and Terminus are all better than it depending on the situation, especially with slugs or other custom ammo, the Homestead only outclasses a few starter shotguns

[dawn mantle]

na like after looting them

[opal dawn]

You always had to find something to burn with

[dawn mantle]

Makes you wonder why our hunters don't travel with matches.

[opal dawn]

And a cigar, you'd look cool while striking it against your boot

[hazy crest]

After the specter buff the slate is pretty much obsolete

Stats wise

it’s still the fun trench gun but the specter is just better

[whole ocean]

what's the max hp of a hunter?

[low raptor]

159

[dawn mantle]

150

a big chunk is 50, a small chunk is 25

[opal dawn]

Bro could have The Sun card, constant speedy regen

[low raptor]

a bullet proof vest is 9 (on all legendary hunters)

[hazy crest]

That doesn’t add up to 150

[whole ocean]

1hp

[hazy crest]

149

[whole ocean]

mf

[opal dawn]

That too

[whole ocean]

my bad guys

[whole furnace]

lol

[dawn mantle]

could have killed him with a choke bomb he was that low

Actually hey wait a minute sparks does 149 right

[low raptor]

buy legendary hunters for 99$ they have extra 9 health as bullet proof vests

[hazy crest]

You got the bornheim + Romero sparks loadout

Doing 149 damage

[dawn mantle]

You could totally sparks someone then follow up with an AOE choke bolt lmao

[opal dawn]

Sparks + choke bolt is a meme loadout, go for it

[dawn mantle]

or even the other way around as long as you're quick with it

[dawn mantle]

can't be more meme-y than my current loadout

[low raptor]

someone would always shoot choke bolts at me and I thought "why??"

[snow ivy]

yea pretty much but you forget the Slate has a 6th round, faster reload, Riposte and some prefer it with Slugs. You have the potential to wipe 2 full trios without reloading with the Slate. I think they should add a silencer variant to set it more apart from other shotguns. Medium barrel shotguns really suck since 1896. Way too inconsistent, feels like remnants of classic Hunt confetti cannons. At least Terminus levers really fast and makes good use of custom ammo but Rival and Slate seem sad and unreliable compared to every other shotgun

adding slamfire as a trait for Slate and Specter would be fun as well

[tawny frost]

hell no

everyone has been asking that for ages

theres a reason people say no

[dawn mantle]

I do it cause my other weapon is a bomb lance and I want to make it hard for you to shoot

[snow ivy]

because they're boring weenies that can't handle CQC

[low raptor]

well no, other guys didn't have bomblance

[dawn mantle]

still, it fucks up your aim

[tawny frost]

makes it harder to aim

because you're coughing so much

[dawn mantle]

For me, it lets me get in close

[tawny frost]

also reveals your location

[dawn mantle]

For them, you can't fight back

[low raptor]

I see but it was pretty easy to avoid because everything was outside

[dawn mantle]

Also chaos bolts are funny.

I had a duo chasing a few earlier

Was fun to watch them

[low raptor]

yep so true

[dawn mantle]

I AM SICK OF THESE MUTHAFUCKEN BOTS IN THIS MUTHAFUCKIN SERVER

[low raptor]

as if anyone believed that

[dawn mantle]

hell these are the exact same images they already tried here

[untold stag]

guys wth is this, keeps popping up any change I want to make in settings

[dawn mantle]

<@&357256267087085568> they're back

[low raptor]

that account was hacked

sadly

[dawn mantle]

still you'd think they'd add variety.

[untold stag]

same pictures and everything

lol

you expect too much from literal parasite scammers

[dawn mantle]

Well

Discords on top of it

Suddenly "Message hidden from likely spammer"

[untold stag]

can we focus on this though? #hunt-general message

[dawn mantle]

I don't see the problem

[untold stag]

I just blocked em, don't see it

[dawn mantle]

Go assign keys to whatever keybinds you're missing

[untold stag]

brother im not missing anything

and can't save my AUDIO settings

because of that pop up

makes no sense

[low raptor]

looks like "delete settings folder" problem

[dawn mantle]

ty

[untold stag]

ok well i found "next and previous" weps to be unbound, bound them to random keys, works now

weird...

not sure why it wouldn't let me change audio settings unless I bound keys but k

DUCT TAPE IT AND LET'S GO

[low raptor]

don't open controls menu during hunt

[untold stag]

o.o why

[low raptor]

because you may get stuck without being able to press ESC

[untold stag]

maybe i dont want to know... maybe I wiill find out anyways

well of course

[low raptor]

and then you won't be able to reconnect properly because this bug returned

[untold stag]

wouldn't be complete

without gamebreaking bugs

lol

[low raptor]

I was trying to reconnect yesterday so hard that my teammates already were done

after like 4 reconnects

and even then I just gave up

This time I pressed "no"

it doesn't matter because I wasn't farming money, but it matters because I wanted to unlock more hunter skins with character progression

[untold stag]

what is the little double "^" on ghostface and cowl?

[low raptor]

this is how it looked like when I was stuck in "controls settings" menu. pressing "ESC" does nothing

[untold stag]

do they get bonus points for events or soemthing, i remember somehing like that being a thing

[untold stag]

I C, well hopefully I don't forget to not do that lol

[low raptor]

maybe earn more exp

[untold stag]

yeah that

hmm ok
