hunt-general

[fallow tide]

just to get dc'ed

[indigo depot]

Huh

[iron dirge]

YER

[twilit prism]

huh

[indigo depot]

Shit's busted brother

[iron dirge]

we all the same

[sinful aurora]

guh

[iron dirge]

lag last match as well right

[whole mist]

Woah the based truth pilled “lag is bad”

[frigid ibex]

Seal clubbing is the downside. There's too many like fresh from steam store to finnish installing the game and immediately having their first game in quick play

[fallow tide]

yep so much lag

i toughht they worked on te back end servers

[iron dirge]

we really be waiting for the other players

[twilit prism]

if i lose my hunter i will uninstall this game for 2 entire hours i swear to god

[sinful aurora]

what region are y'all encountering problems on?

[frigid ibex]

That type of player is so common in my qp. Their first game type of player

[iron dirge]

na east

[raven totem]

to be fair, trying to jump into hunt is intimidating and it would be a logical starting point

[indigo depot]

NA East

[fallow tide]

im playing on east rn

[twilit prism]

east

[sinful aurora]

uh oh

[twilit prism]

literally unplayable

[frigid ibex]

Its why I've been asking for a bloodlevel 100 requirement

For their own good

Its sad not to make use of trainee mode

[raven totem]

that might just kill the mode

[frigid ibex]

QP is wasted on new players

[twilit prism]

i went in with a level 49 and i just wanted to get to 50 🙁

[scarlet current]

I got banned for a week on hunt

[raven totem]

to bad the community is to bad mannored to have more experimental modes

[sinful aurora]

there should be a warning that it's not recommended for new players.

[whole mist]

[raven totem]

playing a 1v1 mode would be dope

[scarlet current]

Turns out you are not allowed to say the n word in a 1v3

[frigid ibex]

Idk

[whole mist]

Lol

[toxic rivet]

spawn in and die in 15 SECONDS to another team

how is this real

[raven totem]

damn who would have thunk

[frigid ibex]

1v1 in hunt is like peeking an awp in cs

[astral moss]

Its called spawn fight.

[raven totem]

I enjoy the final 1v1 in qp

[astral moss]

And as i said, if you die on a spawn fight you can quit, will be better for your mental.

[rapid crystal]

aaaaaah spider just killed me by aim punching my dynamite into the other spider who was jumping ove a lantern..... what are the chances god damn it

[frigid ibex]

Yeah but that's like a whole journey that led up to that fight

[fallow tide]

What is qp

[frigid ibex]

Its soul survivor

[raven totem]

quickplay soul survivor

[fallow tide]

Oh

[raven totem]

crytek loves changing the names of things for no reason

[whole mist]

Quick play was a bad name for it imo

[fallow tide]

Yeah I love hunt but I feel it may be hard for new players too

[astral moss]

The mode where you don't choose your load-out and got spot by every player on the map.

[fallow tide]

There’s a lot to learn

[frigid ibex]

I choose my loadout. It's permanently medium range

[whole mist]

That’s why I want a “casual” mode with bots. But the trade off is limited XP gain

[frigid ibex]

I did use random melee when qp didn't give medkiy and melee tool

[fallow tide]

Ai hunters seems pretty complex to add

[whole mist]

Would also be nice to have during off hours, in low pop regions. Can’t find a game? Just queue into “casual bounty hunt” and farm bots

[raven totem]

I hope to god we get bots in shooting range

[frigid ibex]

Just invite me and you'll have one at least

[rapid crystal]

i don't get it why wont they add moving target to the range

[twilit prism]

yall are wild. i just want the servers to work

[indigo jewel]

make those cannons useable on the castle walls

[whole mist]

They’re in the game for new players under lvl 11

[frigid ibex]

Na lfg chat is too calm for nae servers to be down

[raven totem]

sir/madam, this is hunt showdown

[sweet steeple]

Dear God I was saying this two years ago now*

[solemn lion]

I would not want to be a new player with the current MMR system.

I learned hunt when SBMM was all but not existent, and would prefer that again to this lol

[sweet steeple]

I need the help and practice. Stopped playing bc people are just too good. Just redownloaded today

[frigid ibex]

Right now a new player could get 5 kills in a row and get hard stuck in 6 stars

[solemn lion]

Yeah, that's insane 😂

[frigid ibex]

Yeah

[whole mist]

That’s probably the biggest thing I want them to add in the game. I want to be able to just chill at the end of the night, maybe put on Spotify and still play the game, but not try hard PvP.

[alpine bough]

I got 6 star when it actually meant something then stopped playing the game and now im hard stuck 6 star >:(

[frigid ibex]

Trials winfield headshot challenge was fun warmup

Almost forgot I did that

[indigo jewel]

ive been 6* since my first day.. never had a chance to experience lower stars

[sweet steeple]

😔 if they havent done it this far in I doubt they ever will

[raven totem]

slaughterhouse

[indigo jewel]

ive never played soul survivor i dont get what u actually have to do

[frigid ibex]

Was there a lebel marksman one?

[raven totem]

I think so

[frigid ibex]

Its been too long ago

[raven totem]

I don't recal where though

[whole mist]

I think it’s more possible than ever. They just added hunter ai like 1-2 updates ago

[outer iron]

Just had a friend die to a oneshot from specter dragon's breath. I didn't even know you could get 1-shot by dragon's breath.

[whole mist]

He was probably weak

[outer iron]

He was full hp.

[frigid ibex]

It can one shot

[whole mist]

I didn’t know it did 150+

[frigid ibex]

That buff was long ago

[whole mist]

[outer iron]

It certainly did this time. In the stats page it does only 141.

[frigid ibex]

Like a year after special ammo came out maybe

So years ago

[whole mist]

So is it supposed to do 141 or 150+

🗿

[velvet finch]

.

[frigid ibex]

The one tap range is short

[frigid ibex]

The charcoal damage is like.. idk, 50? Maximum

Maybe 55

Been too long I've been clean hit by a dragonsbreath

[indigo jewel]

why do dogs keep going off and theres just no one there

am i losing it

[astral moss]

i didn't understand the logik of a hunt player, like my team mate ear me kill 2 people but still didn't want to push in the bosslair, why ?

Can somebody tell me why they never push, i need to know.

[burnt wadi]

Chat is this cheating?

[astral moss]

Can be a lucky shot.

[twilit prism]

he shot through the window and got hella lucky

100%

[sinful aurora]

plausible they just shot based on an educated guess. nothing too wild.

[astral moss]

And maybe he was shooting at someone peaking the window.

[burnt wadi]

They have 130 hours in hunt and 1 VAC ban.

[twilit prism]

report

[burnt wadi]

I did in game but can’t provide this evidence with it

[sinful aurora]

!report

[graceful hedge]

**Hiding statistics/profiles does not prevent reporting. **

[sinful aurora]

if you want to add evidence

[twilit prism]

huge W mod

[sinful aurora]

[twilit prism]

[burnt wadi]

Thank you!!

[random nimbus]

[dreamy cave]

They lack confidence

[random nimbus]

Can I have Last Transaction as a full sized Sparks Skin plz?

[cinder idol]

hunt down ?

entire team got DC'd mid shootout

[twilit rivet]

Both teammates dead, there's 5 mins of silence in the game. Died to a bush camper and then spectating, i see 6 more ppl in the map not doing anything but just holding random corners for another whole 3 mins. Six stars all of em. Im surprised how ppl can just sit in a spot just waiting for others to make a move 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This was in bounty clash too, they might as well reduce the time to 7 minutes cuz a lot of games, theres nothing happening for atleast 7 minutes.

[astral moss]

Eeeeeerk

[twilit rivet]

And its always slates and spectres and hold corners the whole game 🤦‍♂️

[astral moss]

My god i hate teaming.

[raven totem]

it's about that time of day isn't it

[twilit rivet]

Its sad watching whole lobbies do nothing but just sit and wait for someone to make a move

Dont banish, dont move. Just wait for someone to move so that they can sneak and get the first shot

[urban elbow]

are u on asia servers?

[twilit rivet]

Nah na east

It was never like this

Its been bad lately

Either this or youve teams running full loadouts (triple avtos), etc

[astral moss]

Welcome in hunt.

Where player didn't play.

[graceful idol]

My mmr is max but im getting shit on in every game

Idk what to do

[whole mist]

I had a guy hit me with bleed officer carbine earlier, so I took cover by a workbench and saw an avto sitting there….when the guy pushed me it was gg for him

[graceful idol]

Im getting in games with people who are level 100 prestige 100 and i have barely 100 hours on that game

I genuinely dont know why my mmr is so high

[raven totem]

!support

[graceful hedge]

Instructions on how to reach out can be found here: #customer-support.

[raven totem]

getting ahold of them can help them perhaps fix the situation

in the long run

[rapid crystal]

how many fucking bugs are there after update

this is insane

[raven totem]

I've not had any, whats happening?

[inner sky]

yeah there are a ton of bugs

big lairs full of em

[rapid crystal]

currently i swapped my gun to lemat cuz ran out of ammo and i couldn't switch to shotgun

[raven totem]

odd

could try making a bug report

[rapid crystal]

i died cuz of that and im greatly pissed

had devil card active

might be the reason idk

[inner sky]

do you mean the shotgun part of the lemat?

or a different shotgun

[rapid crystal]

yes

hitting x like crazy and nothing happens

[inner sky]

skill solution

[mystic mulch]

Question. Is there bullet drop in this game?

[rapid crystal]

this is one the most frustrating shit i came across so far

[rapid crystal]

yes. you can read about it in weapon stats

[mystic mulch]

Neat.

[rapid crystal]

it show range at which drop starts

[mystic mulch]

Pretty sure it wasn't there in the ps4 days.

[rapid crystal]

it's a relatively recent addition

[mystic mulch]

Interesting.

[rapid crystal]

loosing to technical bugs is just unbearable

but that one was straight up a middle finger to me personally

[unique trail]

https://tenor.com/view/yelling-meryl-streep-cheer-gif-2719597858584334837

[chrome lintel]

Yeah drop isn't really a thing you have to worry about unless you are way outside a guns useful range or sniping

(excluding the guns that already had a lot of drop like xbows)

[outer iron]

Something you'll notice is the game only whips out the 100 prestige players when you're on a winning streak.

[mortal basin]

A what streak?

[remote moss]

sorry, its always been like this, lmao

aggressive players will show up then theyll get bored because of that playstyle

boring but its the limit of their personal skill and playstyle

without it, theyd get farmed

[astral moss]

How much card can we stack each ?

in the inventory i mean.

[remote moss]

4?

[wheat pilot]

is the sparks pistol any good? What should I pair it with?

[astral moss]

Inventory of the lobby.

Idk how to name it.

[mystic mulch]

Run 2 dual Sparks Pistols..

[toxic rivet]

any long ammo rifle

it gives so much extra ammo

[mystic mulch]

Or that.

As I see it, there's really 2 ways to use it. extra ammo for your main weapon, or the highest damage sidearm when you have a shotgun.

[twilit flume]

is derendering still a thing?

[mortal basin]

A little

[indigo hemlock]

major issues on east..can crytek be made aware so they can tell server hosts to fix this?

constant off and on rubberbanding each match and servers entirely dropping mid-match.

[cerulean parcel]

Why is it that I’m a 4 star always matching with 6 stars?
Is it my k/d?

[fathom shale]

Your platform and region and it's population

[little widget]

does this count in bounty clash?

[toxic rivet]

Its you be goated

[fathom shale]

Console has less players than PC, meaning less matchmaking brackets to reduce empty lobbies and long matchmaking times

[indigo hemlock]

probably not, it's already dead.

[brazen hill]

Do locked exits become unlocked when all bounties have left? Or am I just screwed if I'm on the opposite side of the map when that happens? Cause the match just ended when it was showing me 30 seconds left on the clock and I was spriting towards an unlocked exit I should have been able to get to.

[little widget]

awe mannnn aight thank you

[fathom shale]

Only the chariot tarot card can swap the locked and unlocked extractions

[icy elbow]

No

[cerulean parcel]

Maybe I could try a different region, I get kills but hardly ever win that not all that bad but I wanna win some times lol, and I don’t wanna play that damn hard every match, I wanna chill a little

[brazen hill]

That's not what I asked. It's impossible to get to an exit on the other side of the map from you in 2 minutes.

[torpid sedge]

not fully true

yes

it feels like it

[fathom shale]

Assuming you are playing on US East based on your roles, that is already the second most populated region so I doubt a region swap will make a big difference for you on console

[cerulean parcel]

Ah ok screw it then thanks!

[torpid sedge]

but I noticed it was a much bigger problem after like Update 1.15

[fathom shale]

Then why were you there in the first place instead of paying attention to where the unlocked extracts were?

[torpid sedge]

idk about that update but most games after it just turned into a slow slug fest

I KNOW WHy its 1.15

thats the update when Flares guns and that stuff turned stupid strong

was it the New Engine update that made bodys burn quicker?

[brazen hill]

It's where I spawned. And I was in a gunfight with someone when a pair on the other side of the map spawned next to the bounty, sticky spammed it, grabbed it and immediately booked to the exit. By the time I had finished the fight, all bounty had extracted and I couldn't go to the extract that I was in range of, I had to try and sprint the whole map in 2 minutes (As I said before, the match ended with 30 seconds on the clock, not when it said it would.)

So I take it locked exits are just locked and unless you have a tarot card, you can't unlock those exits?

[torpid sedge]

ye

they swap exits

if im right it turns all current extracs off and turns all the ones off on

[brazen hill]

Okay, I'll remember to keep that card, wait until bounty is gone and stay by a locked exit, then after 30 seconds swap the extracts so everyone else left loses their hunters. If I piss off enough people maybe they'll come to their senses and revert it back to how it always used to be.

[jaunty patio]

It doesn't work when there's 5 minutes or less left in the match

[brazen hill]

Actually 5 minutes, or 4:30 but it says 5 minutes?

[empty eagle]

Actually 5

They made it so you couldn't abuse it the way you say since 5 min is plenty to get to an extract that is open, even from the other side. Best to keep an eye on them when it's getting close though

[remote moss]

ah

well shit i dont notice that kind of thing

[wheat pilot]

just wiped 2 teams, stole a dolch and cleared the boss only to then die to a frag bomb thrown by a guy who was camping by a door near the bounty ready to throw it inside as soon as boss finishes banishing

[ocean briar]

Does the bounty hunt end early if every bounty is extracted? Like in bounty clash.

[rapid crystal]

still better than being cucked by the game when forced to take enemy lemat just to figure out that you can't switch to its shotgun

[raven totem]

Gotta be ready for that

but thats one of those situations of, now you know

[astral moss]

Did you hear him cook the frag ?

[raven totem]

when banishment is near the end it gets hard to hear

great time to just do that.

[keen holly]

with them doing away with my opion useless perks. how about we combine witness and vulture for a good 6 point perk now or maybe 5

[raven totem]

I've done that more times than I can count

vultue shot stay eating a slot

[keen holly]

oh and can we just do away with bullet grabber too lol

[raven totem]

there are people that enjoy it

[high stump]

im missing the fun quirky weapons. now its just shotguns and rifles

[raven totem]

there are plenty to pick from

[high stump]

melee? shotguns win 80% of the time
Bow and crossbow? kinda closly related to rifles except poisen bolts

[astral moss]

Nobody play melee.

[wheat pilot]

yeah this is what killed me

[high stump]

bomb launcher/lance?: slow reloading time and not that accurate over 15m

i guess there is still explo amuntion in mako, but thouse dont make that much damage

[keen holly]

@high stump good for wasting peoples meds but tbh you could just get the head shot without explosive and get the kill lol. i have survived alot of mako shots that hi me in the head but explosive can't headshot

[sick temple]

Of course, people are meta slaves generally

Long ammo and spam shotgun slugs

[toxic mango]

ma man is running no consumable no tools at all, katana bow only

my average rando teammate

[keen holly]

@toxic mango not even knuckles for the ems huh dang

[high stump]

i loved the frag arrow as you could push into buildings with that. and defend against other people pushing you around corners

[toxic mango]

melees with bow

[ocean briar]

Stay away from my bullet grubber animations

[indigo jewel]

one of my fav perks btw

[keen holly]

@toxic mango but doesn't it make you stab if you get that perk

[high stump]

he has a catana

[toxic mango]

nah he throws katana and use bow for melee

[sick temple]

It is not that great really, melee bow is like a medium sized bayonet

And the animation is sloppy and slow

Glad it is merged, because nobody used it

[high stump]

did you know that you dont waste bullets, if you hold leftclick during your last shot, and then instantly reload?

[turbid dock]

What an absolute gigachad

[high stump]

atleast with most weapons

[pliant tusk]

no idea what changed but all day it's been silent sniper solos with subsonic camping

[indigo jewel]

i do but animation..

[daring acorn]

add xbox and playstation inviting plz i meet to many cool xboxers just to not be able to invite them

[high stump]

you and i have different priorities...

[turbid dock]

It's probably coming as far as we know, but no solid word on it yet

[keen holly]

my hot take is still don't let solos in with trios. i have never had fun killing a solo. slows the whole game down and destroys the idea of a team fight

[indigo jewel]

also its just qol i can just press it

[turbid dock]

Consider it a miniboss

[sick temple]

Play enough to boost your MMR and you wont see a solo in years

[raven totem]

seems with that string of takes they just wanna bait

[raven totem]

incorrect btw

[radiant wren]

The fact that it resets to bounty hunt aafter every single match is super f***** anoying

[lofty sinew]

High pop region takes

[raven totem]

I wanna say they changed the explosive ammo like over a year ago

[spark plaza]

amogus

[dusky wing]

Does the Drilling's shotgun barrel have the same range as the Romero?

[astral moss]

Yes, cause the weapon is balanced.

[raven totem]

exact same thing

[raven totem]

are you calling drilling op?

[dusky wing]

Wonderful

[astral moss]

i guess its balance cause of its 3sec reload.

But good at any range = stupid.

[raven totem]

get crossbowed nerd

I love crutching on the crossbow

always feels so goooood

[raven totem]

drillings issue is, it's not great at anything but being flexible. it' also has a tough time sustaining fights with more than one persona at a time typically

drilling is a cool gun

I'd give it a solid low A/high B

[astral moss]

Yeah crossbow can snipe from 50m excuse me.

[raven totem]

old shotguns romero had more of a nich than it does now in sense of max range, now days it's it's accuracy that stands out is all. minus hand cannons

when they increased all shotguns reach romero lost a lot of leverage

though there where a group of people shit talking romero in here the other day, I'll say out of many shotguns thats one I won't jiggle peak

[astral moss]

Can one shot at close range and can 2 tap at middle/long range isn't "not great at anything".

[raven totem]

fight mosin boys with it and you'll feels it's lacking

fight actual shotgun players and you're at a big disadvantage

could try actually playing the gun

[slate spruce]

Alr so I just got the deluxe edition of this game and I have no idea what to do

So what is this game?

[raven totem]

thats a big jump for not knowing what it is

it's a pvevp extraction shooter set in a fictional 1895

[slate spruce]

Ok ok I like extraction shooters

[raven totem]

we're demon hunters going to kill the boss/demon, and take it's bounty

against other teams of hunters

[slate spruce]

Alr sounds nice

[slate spruce]

That’s the pvp

[raven totem]

the weapons is end of cival war to the early beginings of ww1

[slate spruce]

So like gunpowder

[raven totem]

some

[slate spruce]

Well you the old kind you get me

[slate spruce]

?

[raven totem]

it's a wide range

I've got almost 4k hours if you've any other questions feel free to ask

I do highly advise trying to watch a video though, it's a deep game with a lot of mechanics

[astral moss]

Yeah but mosin...

[raven totem]

insert bolt long here

[astral moss]

Bro take the best weapon of the game directly...

[raven totem]

it's something I face alot

[astral moss]

I know me too.

[raven totem]

so going back to drilling, you get two shots for reload, if you don't tap head or miss one shot they're back in cover easily and healing

and while medium ammo has been buffed, it is still medium ammo

[astral moss]

Yeah but insane fire rate between 2 shot.

[raven totem]

not really insane, pretty quick yes

[astral moss]

I don't take the blind crouchwalker that have 300h as an exemple here.

[raven totem]

blind crouch walkers likely don't have decent positioning

so I gues niether of us are referencing them are we?

meanwhile what we're calling quick is for standard rifles, ignoring dolch bornheim match levering fanning or other one taps

and again, two shots

it's a good gun, but nothing is busted about it

[clear fossil]

i made a half sarcastic post on the subreddit asking "have you won if you dont extract with 4 bounties" clearly it comes off as an callout for people who run away from engagements?

but people start pointing out things like "did you forget solos exist"

this post was made by once again a team running away after getting just one boss from the other bounty team

and i call into question, have you won if you ran away

[raven totem]

did they make money?

[storm flume]

Knowing when to cut your losses is part of having 500K $$$ strat

[astral moss]

Extract a bounty is optional now, since chariot exist, i often let my team mate run to another extract then wait chariot to be pop so they get destroy and i extract on another one.

[hardy pewter]

Its annoying but at the end of the day it's ; did you die? Did you make it out? With a bounty?

You take a win when you can

Regardless of size

[clear fossil]

i have got to 100k multiple times with just always doubling down on all bounties

[clear fossil]

well i never personally consider it a proper win in my own books if i ran away

i consider it free money but not a win

[raven totem]

I don't think they care what you think

[clear fossil]

probably but it was half sarcastic post anyways

[astral moss]

[clear fossil]

i dont really care what others think either

its just how i operate

[raven totem]

you seem to

[storm flume]

Then why ask? Compensating?

[hardy pewter]

Then why ask?

[astral moss]

Why even take bounty, only problem will come with it.

[clear fossil]

because i wanted to talk to random people on internet

[storm flume]

Indeed dark juju there.

[clear fossil]

and i couldnt come up with anything better

[raven totem]

understandable

[storm flume]

Wasting air is hardly a good way to engage people in conversation.

[hardy pewter]

Damn-

[raven totem]

as for what a win is, it's just getting out with a bounty, I don't think to hard about it. somepeople wanna sweep, sme are on a loss streak

[storm flume]

But you got your 5 min of attention now off into trash you go.

[hardy pewter]

Some are new and still not confident in pvp

[astral moss]

Bro is rude.

[clear fossil]

well im here talking in daily so if you need someone to talk to you can find me here

[raven totem]

it's not even just that honestly, sometimes you already had a fight and your resources are gutted, engauging in a full kit team with no meds on level 1s if they're the same skill is suicide

[astral moss]

Thx chariot to exist, so now i can use my team mate as bait even more.

[astral socket]

If I extract with the homestead shouldn’t it be permanently unlocked?

[raven totem]

or other bounty banished late, across the map, and no one showed up and you just wanna reset the match

[hardy pewter]

True

[clear fossil]

no you need to extract it everytime

[astral moss]

No.

[raven totem]

lol no it's scarce, you're free to go earn another one though

[astral moss]

Or at least not during this event.

[astral socket]

Oh ok thanks

[clear fossil]

its pretty easy to got to it i think personally

its just that its roll of a dice

[astral moss]

Yeah but extract it is different.

[clear fossil]

ive not really seen people use homestead

[raven totem]

I typically don't go to lair untill endgame so kinda the same for me

[clear fossil]

and its basically always there untouched

[raven totem]

it costs 3 points

[clear fossil]

well i always go there after i have 6/6 or maybe earlier if i went down a chunk or two in fights i go pick up restoration

[raven totem]

fair

[clear fossil]

and i never see anyone picking it

[raven totem]

I see them all the time

[clear fossil]

even if they pick the bounty/take the gamble machine

[raven totem]

I can typically more reliably get them off of hunters than center

[clear fossil]

damn i wish i got them from bodies

i always go to center and even my random teammates

[slate spruce]

Alr thank you

[clear fossil]

never pick the gun

[slate spruce]

Now last question

[clear fossil]

so i always get them

[slate spruce]

To anyone be

What is the progression like

[raven totem]

it's pretty quick

[slate spruce]

What am I progressing towards what’s the goal what’s the upgrades

[raven totem]

money and guns

so there is a level system

[clear fossil]

progresstion is quite easy

theres the guns, because gun variants get unlocked by using then

[raven totem]

1-100, you'll keep guns and see bots untill level 11 or something as a new player

[hardy pewter]

There's also a prestige system but most choose not to participate from what I've seen

[raven totem]

feels good to be john showdown

[clear fossil]

yeah prestige is also a thing but thats entirely up to you

[raven totem]

progression is kinda more like cod in a weird way honestly

it's nothing like other extraction shooters

there is no, run to this part of the map to scoop the golden duck statue

many stick with hunt for the gnufights and atmosphere rather than just simply hoarding

[hardy pewter]

I'd argue that it's both one of the best and most unique one

[raven totem]

I'm biased so I feel like I can't say that

[hardy pewter]

Fair

However

I say it's the best because it's the only one that doesn't feel like a literal job to play

Coming from someone who played a lot of extraction shooters

[astral moss]

I wont say best one cause tarkov exist, but since there is not much other extraction shooter...

[hardy pewter]

Tarkov is technically king of extraction
However it's not on ps5 so I can't play it
So I'm biased lmao

[raven totem]

there is to much that has soured me for tarkov

[astral moss]

Yeah not much melee weapon sadly...

[slate spruce]

Ok ok and finally what’s the monitization like what can I buy is there a battle pass what skins can I buy is there a collab

[slate spruce]

That does not sound good

[raven totem]

skins

oh and hunter slots but you can get those through darktribute

[slate spruce]

That’s all? Like no emotes or gun skins or anything like that

[slate spruce]

Explain twin

[raven totem]

hunters, gun skins, tools skins 99% of the sellable things are skins

[slate spruce]

Tools what do you mean by said tools (if this is annoying you can just say look it up and illl be aight btw)

[raven totem]

no you're cool dude

so you have gun slots, consumables, and tools, all stuff you bring in raid

all the skins for them is 100% cosmetic

if you said, I'm not spending another dime on this game, it wouldn't effect functionality

the only part left where thats not entirely true is loadout slots, and hunter slots

so you hire hunters, as they level they get points for perks, when they die they get deleted

[astral moss]

For hunt or tarkov ?

[raven totem]

you can have multiple

iirc you start out with 5 hunter slots

[slate spruce]

Hunt

[clear fossil]

the battlepass is good way to get a bunch of skins for different guns if you mange to complete it

and buy it, even without buying some free rewards

[raven totem]

which these days are pretty easy to complete

[clear fossil]

if you do buy and complete it its 50% refund for the price in the battlepass items themselves

well in the ingame currency

which you can either use to buy a skin you want or towards next battlepass

[raven totem]

booting up to take screenshots

[raven totem]

all those portraits are hunters that have lived through matches that I have

those little grey pictures on the top left, are traits, perks you put on your hunter to make them stronger in some sense

[wise atlas]

rip servers SA?

[raven totem]

on top right, you'll see two guns, 4 tools, the 3rd row, and 4 consumables

does that make sense so far officer?

[clear fossil]

battlepass gets easier to complete later, because the weekly challenges unlock which are a lot of use speisfic ammo to doeal dmg or spesific kind of gun

and just by playing the game you pretty easily complete the battlepass

its slower at the start as well you get new challenges weekly

[astral moss]

How melee doesnt sound good ?

[clear fossil]

you know all the pretty standard battlepass workings

although 1 thing
if anyone in your party wrks towards one challenge goal you all get the progression

[slate spruce]

No it does it doesn’t sound good cause I want it in

[wise atlas]

servers SA broken? i cant open the game xd

[slate spruce]

Standard battle pass design I like it

[raven totem]

says 0ms for me, so I assume so

[clear fossil]

there are lots of good melee weaponsc which are weak RN mainly because shotguns are Strong RN and eveyone using a shotgun

[fallow tide]

there is a collab with post malone though it may seem weird at first its pretty cool because A. he plays the game and B. his chharacter skin actually fits in with thhe game its not some like weird out of place skin its just his face and tatts on a themed skin

[slate spruce]

So the skins are mainly dark and stuff no cod crap

[raven totem]

define cod crap?

[wise atlas]

que novedad los servers de latam malos fua algo nunca antes visto en este juego 😮 es algo increible que jamas pense que pasaria 😮

[raven totem]

I don't play cod anymore seriosuly

[slate spruce]

Like bright pink haired stuff or like beavus and butthead

[clear fossil]

so, that inroduces a problem when you have a 1 hit melee weapon with few meter range at most
and enemy has 1 tap shotgun with 1 tap range of 10+ meters

[slate spruce]

So when the game doesn’t fit the skins

[clear fossil]

i havent played any cod since 2015 soi dont know anything

damn last cod i owned was black ops 2

[astral moss]

You lost me.

[fallow tide]

Yeah there are no kinds of skins like that in hunt shhowdown every skin is thhemed and colored to fit the aesthetic of the game in some way shape or form

[raven totem]

ne beavus, there is a ghostface dlc, was a post melone but had huge community kick back

the post melone was event exclusive and will never return for people to buy

[fallow tide]

also how are the servers on NA east? anyone ?

[fallow tide]

good thhing i have it then haha

[raven totem]

tells me 35ms

[fallow tide]

its usually about 63 ~ for me give or take

[astral moss]

Post 🍈

[fallow tide]

I think hunt does a good job staying true to its player base with out succumbing to what ever the hell cod and fortnite is now a days, dont get me wrong fortnite might as well keep doing what its doing with collabs like that(since thats their gimmick) and i think cod is just copying them tbh

[raven totem]

depends on who you ask

I would agree for the most part

some people get stomach knots if everything doesn't have a cowboy hat

[astral moss]

If hunt could be a little more like cod tho.

[fallow tide]

i like the way it is right now tbh, only thing i would like to see are possibly some bigger maps with maybe like a 3 bounty way mode, this couuld be like a high roller type deal but i think the player base is big enouugh for something like this

[raven totem]

bigger maps are highly unlikely

[fallow tide]

not big enough

**

[raven totem]

many already complain about running simulator

[fallow tide]

would be cool to see some super natural teleportation thing you know?

[raven totem]

and crytek already has a pretty tried and true set up for existing maps

[fallow tide]

depends on the mechanics i guess id hate to get camped at a teleporter esc location

[astral moss]

Its already too much with 12 player.

[raven totem]

and then that has a lot of arguements

but ya land of thge dead as either a whole new map or a 17th compound would be bad ass

[fallow tide]

you think we could ever see some dinos in hunt

[raven totem]

no

[fallow tide]

lol

just riffing on some things idk

journy to the center of the world vibes

[tame magnet]

yea Glide plays hunt

[fallow tide]

oh man thats a burn

[empty eagle]

Technically rotjaw is a dino

She's based on a dino gator

[fallow tide]

i guess she is sort of huh

[empty eagle]

Deinosuchus

She's got the same bone structure

[north depot]

guys is this game worth it on sale? always seen youtubers play it and feel like id love it but always thought i missed the peak so it wouldnt be fun playing against vets. am i right in thinking that?

[tame magnet]

pretty sure he and i are the same age lol

[clear fossil]

did you know birds are dinosaurs.. or something im nor sure

[fallow tide]

this game is awesoime you have to get it

[slate spruce]

Damn what about ghostface?

[raven totem]

games doing great, if you like what you see hop in

[fallow tide]

and if you need someone to help[ you learn lots of people here my self included will help you learn the ropes

[empty eagle]

Slc

Dlc

Always available

[slate spruce]

I’ll buy it

[raven totem]

dlc here to stay, doesn't stick out to hard but they've stepped back from all that

[clear fossil]

i read somewhere that birds are dinos whos scales turned into feathers or something... im not exactly sure how that works but oh well

[tame magnet]

alligators too

rotjaw is a dinosaur

[clear fossil]

i think they are more distinct

[north depot]

i love what i see! imma buy it, why not

[tame magnet]

dinosaurs in hunt confirmed

[raven totem]

ghost face or hunt?

[clear fossil]

i think i read somewhere that only species of dinosaurs left on planet are birds or something

[north depot]

ive got pretty fast wifi so if anyone fancies playing with a noob in like 30 mins im down as clown with an upside down frown

[astral moss]

No.

[fallow tide]

you get commission @raven totem

[clear fossil]

its funny even bird wikipedia page calles them dinosaurs im pretty sure

[tame magnet]

where is ross geller when you need him

[raven totem]

uhhhh

[slate spruce]

Why is 20 more dollars in the face of happiness

[empty eagle]

Please don't tag devs not active in chat

[slate spruce]

I Alr have it

[fallow tide]

yeah sorry meant to tag the other guy

[slate spruce]

My friend bought me the deluxe edition and I’m downloading it rn

[empty eagle]

Gotcha lol

[raven totem]

I typically would recomend just getting base hunt, and see if people like it before going ham on skins.

oh your friend bought it

[unborn citrus]

So when are they dropping the tarot deck as merch? Instant buy for one of my favorite games ever!

[clear fossil]

yeah from wikipedia

[raven totem]

it's a great game, so have fun, if you've questions there are many that can answer things here

[fallow tide]

scrapbeak possibly dino related?

[empty eagle]

No

Scrappy is human

[astral moss]

Dont forget that you can refund a game on steam if you play less than 2 hours.

[raven totem]

conferderate soldier that went cray and was warped by the sculptur

or something cracked out like that

[fallow tide]

ive only read the lore of the asassain

[north depot]

is this game really meta heavy or more skill based? like is there a specific loadout thats op or something cuz i hate that sht

[raven totem]

both?

[lofty sinew]

skill >> loadout but loadout still matters

[clear fossil]

yes and no, people say that mosins op but literally every gun works

[icy elbow]

yes their ancestors were theropods and they were the only known kind of Dino to survive

[fallow tide]

id have to agree every gun is viable tbh.

[north depot]

i shouldve worded it that way, does every gun have a chance, i like that they do!!

[astral moss]

Depend the mmr.

[clear fossil]

yes everything does

[raven totem]

I could post some Delany videos that say otherwise

[lofty sinew]

I mean if your skill level is high enough loadout only kind of matters.

[north depot]

thank you guys for answering my questions :)

[lofty sinew]

but a new player isn't loading in and playing like delaney or rachta

[clear fossil]

everything that is strong has it a drawback that balances it out, some guns are weak but fire fast
other fire slow and are strong

mosin breaks this a little by firing decent speed and being still strong so thats why people complain about it

[astral moss]

I mean, you can head shot at 50m with a 24$ pistol, but didnt happen often.

[fallow tide]

isnt the trade off the price for it though?

[clear fossil]

yeah but for many people with 500k the price doesnt matter

[lofty sinew]

money doesnt mean much unless you lose a lot

[fallow tide]

oh yeah true

[north depot]

headshots are one hit?

[fallow tide]

Yes

[astral moss]

Yes.

[clear fossil]

headshot on anything but buckshots 1 hit

basically

[north depot]

i couldve swore ive watched youtubers hit heads before and no 1 tap. is that new?

[astral moss]

And i just ping that in case you forget. #hunt-general message

[raven totem]

got changed a year ago

on 1896 release

[lofty sinew]

back in the day there were soft headshots at far enough range. no longer

[north depot]

ahhh okok i was a bit confused at first cuz i thought hunt showdown and the 1896 were two total different games but it was just a big update then?

[raven totem]

yes

very similar to the cs2 debacle

[lofty sinew]

1896 is essentially crytek doing a big engine update for the game

[north depot]

ahh okay, thank you. sorry if these questions are silly

[raven totem]

na it's cool

[fallow tide]

no question is silly

[north depot]

ahhhh i see, makes sense

[lofty sinew]

and adding some stuff. seemingly mostly bugs. game is in a much better state at this point though

[raven totem]

sadly silly cat is sleeping

[fallow tide]

unless the question is what is another word for being goofy in which case the answer is silly

[north depot]

that would indeed be a goofy question with a silly answer

double bubble

[raven totem]

we are getting a lot of new questions, hunt on sale again?

[astral moss]

Yes promo on steam

[raven totem]

aye new blood

[north depot]

its installed alr, shit said it was 100gb but that went so quick

and yeah its like 12 pounds on steam rn

[frank fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-wake-wake-up-sleepy-tired-gif-5387775

[astral moss]

Poor soul...

[lofty sinew]

12 pounds. so like $120? 😛

[raven totem]

idk what pounds to dollars are honestly, but I assume it's similar

[north depot]

12 is about 16 dolllars i think

[raven totem]

close enough

in this day and age thats a coffee

[north depot]

yeah around there, ive got an american gf and i still dont know after the years lmao

[hasty wharf]

12 pounds is 192 ounces 👍

[north depot]

hahaha

[south shore]

Confirmed

Add a gold star to your name

[crystal flare]

why does the gamemode keep switching off of clash, shit is driving me crazy

[modern delta]

The game knows the mode is goofy ahh and doesn't want anyone to play it

[lofty sinew]

i love getting the mr ed noise out of the horses at end of lobby

[brazen vapor]

I love role playing as a underwater demolition technician in hunt (putting explosive traps on boat extracts when people run from me)

[lofty sinew]

Thanks for the reminder to always bring vigilant

[brazen vapor]

no problem

Always gotta remind the fair people to be vigilant

[clear fossil]

ive always brough vigilant recently

too many traps about

and saves lives

[lofty sinew]

I keep forgetting for the same reason i keep forgetting to use vigilant when i do have it. but i need to remember enough times that it finally becomes habit

a random resupply trap got a twofer and killed both my teamies at the same time the other day

then the solo responsible got so excited coming back to cover the bodies he accidentally set himself on fire crossing the bridge on the way

[clear fossil]

btw, if someone puts a dark dynamite can it be only detonated by the team who put it? right?

[lofty sinew]

and thus got shot in the face before he could seal the deal

i think if you shoot it or fire hits it it will detonate anyway maybe?

[clear fossil]

ive just sometimes seen a dark dynamite stachel detonation marker somewhere i didnt know my teammates have gone to

so i was wondering

also do you see dark dynamite in the vigilant

or what does it look like

[lofty sinew]

don't know for sure but i assume you should

just looks like a more glowy blob i think rather than the 2 smaller blobs with thin wires between

[clear fossil]

dont see dark dynamite enough

and usually when i do its when someone dies to it

[lofty sinew]

yeah i don't see it much. i guess there are enough opportunities to set up kill traps in lobbies now without bothering to bring it

[clear fossil]

its probably one of the things that i want to start using more

because when i was noob i was so obsessed with money but now i know it doesnt matter

[urban steppe]

because its semi expensive and requires a lot of setup

dark dynamite worked better during the previous events since there was a central location with a chokepoint

ie fools hideout had all the loot stored in the area under the tower

so you statistically had a higher chance of geting a kill with it by putting it there

not as possible this event

because the spooders might touch the trap instead

this time around LOL

[clear fossil]

the one time i used it

i turned a match into a win

with dark dynamite satchel

[raven totem]

dark dynomite is strong

it's just against strong competition

[urban steppe]

its strong vs guys who don't have vigilant yeah

[lofty sinew]

i've seen clips of pretty dirty use of DD just by planting it on corpses of enemy team members who are downed.

you can generally make it invisible

[urban steppe]

^

yeah

dd is a vigilant check

either you have it or you die to it

[clear fossil]

i was with 1 health bar left from burning, and my teammate was out of heals( same as i) and with only 2 bars

so i put dark dynamite, we made space for enemies to push into and they fell into the trap

[raven totem]

even ignoreing shots and ammo boxes and now terot cards, dd satchel is up against frag or hellfires

for four slots

[urban steppe]

and the humble concertina bomb

ahem

[clear fossil]

we intentionally surrendered the "peek" corners to let enemies push up closer just to blow them up

it was really funny way to kill them

[raven totem]

concertina is very good but the situationess of it makes other things far more attractive

[urban steppe]

but yeah, dd satchel requires too much prep time to be any good

even if you were gonna have someone chase you
and you place it down behind a corner to use

the setup time usually gets you killed

it isn't like a frag/hellfire which can be cooked and thrown while running with surefoot

which lets you do so much more

vs having to squat down for a few seconds to place a bomb

[raven totem]

I've not played with dd enough to argue for it

[urban steppe]

imo it isn't that strong

because of the counterplay options

[lofty sinew]

i'm sure if you got good at sneaky placement at the right times and deliberate baiting it could be quite good

[clear fossil]

well in this situation i said we were in fort bolden
we were upstairs, i hid it right next to the strairs on the top
we fell back behind the beds and other clutter there

and just waited until enemies pushed up the stairs and BOOM

[raven totem]

but haveing a remote bomb that has your back or flank is crazy in theory

[urban steppe]

its entirely reliant on having guys go to it/not have vigilant though

[clear fossil]

yeah

[urban steppe]

which is why I've only noticed it a lot more during the past 2 events

when there as a designated chokepoint

you could trap

now here's the biggest kicker about said event place

the event items glow white in darksite

sight

so do traps

so you could potentially hide it among the event consumables

and pray ppl don't notice in darksight 😆

[timber escarp]

I'm working on an oc for hunt showdown

[lofty sinew]

orange.. chicken

ornery crocodile?

[urban steppe]

but yeah
I've almost never seen a dd placed for compound defense

mostly because there's nothing you could hide it with that would glow white indoors

if they see you have a bundle through vigilant
they can just wallbang it when they hear your team mates nearby and take one of them out

or blow open a nearby door

with said blast

[full jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-chicken-nugget-meme-gif-25924623

[deft panther]

I've been finding some use in DD for boss killing

Not so much trapping compounds, as I can't say I've ever had luck successfully killing someone with one

[lofty sinew]

paying $200 to kill a boss is .. something

[deft panther]

Whats $200 when you're already paying 1.1k a loadout

[lofty sinew]

more money you don't need to spend because killing bosses is extremely easy?

and you could be bringing in an actually useful consumable

[whole mist]

Spear + pennyshot = ez boss kills

even just spear

[clear fossil]

sticky, bomb launcher, spear very good boss kill weapons

[whole mist]

10k online at 9pm. It’s joever

[lofty sinew]

it's 12:30pm thx

[deft panther]

It's also a monday

[indigo jewel]

its 3:30am

[clear fossil]

its 5AM

[lofty sinew]

no, it's tuesday. stop living in the past people

[whole mist]

Ok Mr time traveler

🔫🐛

[deft panther]

It's been Tuesday for 10 hours for me

[clear fossil]

anyways... bos killing is easy except assasin

[deft panther]

Flare + dynamite

[clear fossil]

who you cant attack when it goes into the funny ground

[lofty sinew]

even assassin isn't so bad if you are on a team. just stunlock with any decent melee + stam

[clear fossil]

it isnt bad it just takes time
and if we dont have good melee weapons

[deft panther]

Anyone noticed assassin has been glitching recently tho? Like, able to attack his ground roaches, the double spawning inside of him

[clear fossil]

thats the one boss we will just go like "oh welp we dont kill it"

[lofty sinew]

still the worst one though. I am not an assassin enjoyer.

I think the AI pathing updates have bugged boss movement in some lairs

assassin gets stuck in desalle salloon

[clear fossil]

because of how long killing assasin takes, usually other teams make it there before the assasin dies

so we wont obther killing it

other bosses we do kill only not assasin unless we have a good weapon for killing it, aka spear or found pitchforks/shovels

[deft panther]

Assassin is one of those bosses you play around IMO, it's basically a player detection tool for 80% of matches I play

[lofty sinew]

we always kill.

[clear fossil]

one weapon that made all bosses easy tho was katana

[lofty sinew]

duo or trio, doesn't matter.

[clear fossil]

its just lame how useless its in a fight

against players

[lofty sinew]

katana weak against players now somehow? how

only in the "melee rushing can be a bad idea" kind of way surely

[clear fossil]

everyone running shotgun katana is bad

so yeah exactly

and sometimes even just hiding in a corner to ambush someone

[urban steppe]

it is about sending the message
(atp, just cook the biggest dynamite bundle and run in)

[clear fossil]

they can just shoot once with shotgun and kill you before you get to hit them

its just that shotguns are so plentiful RN

that getting close enough is hard

[deft panther]

I ressed my mate on top of a 3 man and he wiped them all with 2 katana swings, I wouldn't call it bad, just- need the right timing

[clear fossil]

but sometimes if i run katana if i hear enemy has a bolter i will just run on them

[lofty sinew]

I think for a proper melee rush with decent chance of success you have to wait for reload or literally get the drop

[visual quail]

I’d call the 3 man bad lol

[urban steppe]

or drop down from the 2nd or third floor

[lofty sinew]

yeah thats the drop

[urban steppe]

melee rushing simply isn't strong in a game where people have throwing spears and pennyshot

melee rushing used to be stronger in the past

where they couldn't reliably 1 shot you without a melee attachment

in melee range

nowadays
good luck

[visual quail]

Melee just rarely works against good players or teams.

[urban steppe]

^

there's too much counterplay in current hunt

[visual quail]

It can but it’s usually just trade sim

[urban steppe]

melee worked better before the throwing stuff was added

[visual quail]

And even then it was trade sim

[urban steppe]

yeah

bomb lance swing trading with knife headshot 😆

[lofty sinew]

as i've said before i mostly find katanas on the ground, not coming at me.

[clear fossil]

last time ive died to katana must have been a while ago

i still see them used

[urban steppe]

its used because it is cool

[lofty sinew]

yeah i see them on bodies

[urban steppe]

2nd longest melee range ingame out of the melees

even longer with the trait

[visual quail]

Tbf people who melee rush are typically desperate or low mmr

[clear fossil]

yeah yesterday alone i saw 2 katanas

well thats not much but

still

[visual quail]

Like if you push me I’m just pulling out the surefoot throwing spear

[urban steppe]

yeah, anyone remotely skilled is baiting you to turn a corner and into their charged heavy attack

[deft panther]

The real 6 stars are using throwing knives

[urban steppe]

no charging

just bait and switch

😆

[clear fossil]

also spear is also 1 shot melee kill so

[visual quail]

👎 spear gang

[clear fossil]

what do you need katana for

[urban steppe]

ong spear gang rise up

[visual quail]

Yea. Or just pushing with perringer

[lofty sinew]

why would you use throwing knives over axes

[urban steppe]

exactly

[radiant wren]

why do some people prefer a sparks with a conversion instead of something like a lemat?

[clear fossil]

i sometimes use kived, mainly to deal with dogs

if you have a pack of 5 dogs, 3 axes arent enough to kill them all

[visual quail]

Or dinking you in the head as you round a corner, or two tapping, etc etc

[lofty sinew]

have spear for dogs

[clear fossil]

thats about the only reason i run knives

[urban steppe]

I got one of the dumbest possible spear kills at mammons recently

I jumped onto one of the white elevators and hid at the top
had to hold down S while crouching to not get glitched off

this dude walked into the room and caught my throwing spear 😆

[deft panther]

I use knives when I'm bored, I like the sounds they make, and I know that's a stupid but still

[visual quail]

And stam shot + 4 shots + conduit im perma stimmed

[lofty sinew]

have spear for everythang

[clear fossil]

yeah but that spear still only has stamina for 2 strong melees

[urban steppe]

conversion has better fanning accuracy

[clear fossil]

so 2 dogs

[lofty sinew]

throw

[visual quail]

That’s so dirty 😭

Spears are gross

[clear fossil]

ok throw
now you are without a spear and there are still more dogs left

[lofty sinew]

don't miss

[clear fossil]

against 5 dogs spear cant handle it

[visual quail]

Rof, feel of the pistol, dum dum ammo, reload speed

[radiant wren]

so no other reason outside of fanning? if so i guess ill just try out lemat until i have the points for fanning

[clear fossil]

even if you dont miss

you dont have 5 spears

[urban steppe]

Dude was a solo 5 star who got both my randoms
he thought he was safe in tha troom reloading 😆

[visual quail]

Stam shot gang

[radiant wren]

ooo dum dum is a great point

[deft panther]

Turn on tool auto select on pick up and hold to interact, and you are never without a spear

[lofty sinew]

I kill full dog packs with spear only somehow. Am I just amazing

[clear fossil]

yeah but if all the dogs run at you at once, the problem is not killing them but killing them without them hitting you once

[visual quail]

I think conversion has better hipfire too? I prefer the sights of conversion personally.

[clear fossil]

and kives kill theam easily

[lofty sinew]

oh i get hit usually

[clear fossil]

yeah thats why i use knives so i dont get hit

[deft panther]

Real talk tho, what's everyone's health bar setup?

[visual quail]

Why doesn’t the spear work though

[urban steppe]

ccp has the 2nd tighested fanning spread ingame
losing out to pax trueshot

its better than the lemat outside of extreme close ranges where you can use the underbarrel imo

[visual quail]

Big big small small

[clear fossil]

because you get hit by the dogs with spear

[urban steppe]

that and the fact

[clear fossil]

big small big small

[urban steppe]

ccp has dum dum

[visual quail]

Uh what

[lofty sinew]

if you have stam you don't necessarily get hit

and why would you not have stam. irresponsible

[clear fossil]

i dont run stam

[deft panther]

Conduit?

[clear fossil]

frsh hunter conduit?

[visual quail]

I rarely get hit by dogs. Even no stam is 3 heavy melees and a throw. No more dogs

[clear fossil]

damn cool

[urban steppe]

dogs are a nonissue in a game where you can throw spears without stam

[lofty sinew]

i can agree with liking the knife animations and sounds anyway

[deft panther]

Wait what do you run if you aren't using stam shots?

[clear fossil]

regen, ammo, dynamite and usually vitality

[urban steppe]

I hate how knives were powerkrept on
I used to love running the bottle knife skin

and then better options were added

[visual quail]

Everything in my kit is only for PvP lol. Any pve utility is just a bonus

[urban steppe]

😿

[deft panther]

I got regen, stam, dynamite/frag, ammo, in that order

[urban steppe]

yeah

[visual quail]

Ammo regen stam restoration personally

Get one mistake a game

[urban steppe]

The only acceptable loadout
big regen
3 concertina bomb

[deft panther]

Nah nah nah

[urban steppe]

nah the bombs came in clutch

[deft panther]

4 derringers, double nagant pistol, single nagant silencer

[urban steppe]

you have no idea how many guys I've killed with them

as an impact grenade

[visual quail]

What ur tool setup tho

[urban steppe]

throwing spear
medkit
poison tripwire
concertina tripwire

should be obvious

[visual quail]

Squeak squeak

[urban steppe]

[deft panther]

Spear/knives
Medkit
Flare gun
Pennyshot

[visual quail]

Same but different order

And I’ll use axes before knives

Cuz skill expression

[deft panther]

I can't use axes

For the sole purpose that even with a skin on the weapon, the shadow still shows up as the default axe
And that minute detail PMO so bad

[clear fossil]

we repeat basically yesterdays conversation about consumable and tool slots options

[visual quail]

Axes are pretty dead rn since you don’t need assailant to throw world weapons

Their only niche was arcing over and world throwables do that

Just slightly less convenient

[lofty sinew]

spear / medkit / chokes / penny. I kinda want to get the flare gun in there somehow though :I

[clear fossil]

i have flare instead of penny

[mild flower]

I rarely leave lobby without my trusty hive bomb.

[lofty sinew]

I probably should just drop penny for flare.

[clear fossil]

the pennys good for sure

but i personally dont like it

[lofty sinew]

it's pretty useful but spear can deal with immos and.. well, skeleton key is nice but only useful sometimes

[deft panther]

Oh lord I haven't used a choke in like 5 months

[clear fossil]

spear throw is the #1 way to deal with immos

[urban steppe]

I love running hivebombs on a high damage weapon loadout

before beetles were added, I used to run sparks with 3 hive bombs

tag and toss

[visual quail]

Drop the chokes fr

[radiant wren]

spear and pennyshot

[visual quail]

Tell your teammates to stop dying in bad spots

[lofty sinew]

it gets kinda dicey if you let them get close. bye bye bar

[deft panther]

I genuinely forgot chokes existed since the burn changes got reverted

[clear fossil]

i think salveskin will save that bar

if you have salveskin

[mild flower]

Exactly this! I've been running them with 1865 carbine and it's really fun

[clear fossil]

i think with salveskin the explosions is weak enough not not burn a bar

[lofty sinew]

not going to happen. I'm also not going to stop dieing in bad spots

[clear fossil]

its also not just for teammates

[visual quail]

Fair enough

[clear fossil]

but extinguishing doorways, and or enemies that you started burning

once you wipe their team

or even just hearing enemies

whats better than throwing choke so that enemies cant push there because they will be heard

[lofty sinew]

I mean I like the idea, don't get me wrong. But multiple parts of my loadout are there to help mitigate dumb choices in game

[urban steppe]

worst thing I've done was throw all hive bombs on the last guy

[visual quail]

Dauntless is on a level 1 hunter for me so I really don’t ever deal with area denial chokes

[urban steppe]

one after another

[deft panther]

I'd say that is a use case for them yes, but honestly by the time most of my fights are over, almost all bodies are burned for pressure

[fallow epoch]

Why is my duo matching time so slow?

[fallen meteor]

why hasn't there been a dlc since june?

did they say something abotu that

[visual quail]

Yeah I insta burn pretty frequently so usually a corpse is crispy by the end of the fight

[lofty sinew]

probably because everyone is queueing trio even if they are duo

[deft panther]

^^^

[clear fossil]

yeah

thats why

[fallow epoch]

is that rlly how it works these days

[clear fossil]

even when i play duo we que trip because on duo we end up against 5* duos when we were 3*

[lofty sinew]

people go where the players are. it's what my duo does when our trio isn't around.

[restive walrus]

I just flare corpses immediately in team fights unless they are like really staggered

[mild flower]

Yeah people just play trio

[deft panther]

Yes sir, everytime I solo queue duos, I do it knowing damn well I'm going to be in a 1v1 with a money farmer 🤣

[clear fossil]

so we left duos behind because we couldnt keep going against so much higher people every game

and trios are honestly way more fun

as duos

its easier and more fun

[lofty sinew]

I kinda like how duos plays but long queue times are snore and so are half empty lobbies. so.

[restive walrus]

I think trios are more fun but duos are easier imo

1 v 2 when the homie is down is easier than 1 v 3

[deft panther]

I think going duos into trios just makes you a better player, hell sometimes when you get that squad wipe you feel godly

[fallow epoch]

Are old random hunters coming back? I really liked some of the T2/T3 skins and 90% of them are gone.
I see the few in the roster that you can unlock leveled up variants for, but they have none of my favs.

[clear fossil]

well, we got a lots of 2* higher players in our duo ques because not enough people queing duo
so we stopped
if its doing well for you do what you want

[mild flower]

If you're going into a trios match as a trio, you have a statistically higher chance of winning.

[lofty sinew]

some are there and you can get them to 50 to get the old T2 / T3 but not all are back yet

[restive walrus]

Less teams so yeah

[fallow epoch]

do u know if theyre coming back or nah

[mild flower]

Which makes it easier, no?

[lofty sinew]

they have said they will all come back eventually. buy you know. "at some point"

[mild flower]

Or you don't queue trios as trio

[fallow epoch]

coolio

[deft panther]

For reference, this is what my duos matches look like (I killed them both with 1 dynamite and had the whole map to myself)

[clear fossil]

6* going agast 3* and 4* in duos? thats why me and my frind stopped palying duo as duo

[deft panther]

Though one time I did load up duo's and get sniped by some dude 800m away, he was looking at a tree with a sparks, his gaming chair must've been like 3x better than mine 👍

[fallow epoch]

just get good 🧠

[lofty sinew]

lucky you don't play a low pop region then. this is 100% normal in oce even in trios

[clear fossil]

maybe but im EU so

[deft panther]

Yeahhh, OCE feels like I'm bullying people

But OCE 6* is everyone else's 4*

[fallow epoch]

did they ever fix the 15 second trade window 500 ping lagging deaths

i havent played in years

[lofty sinew]

trade window is shorter now

it is much better but trading is still very doable

[deft panther]

I haven't traded in like 4 months if thats what you're referring to

[hexed valve]

Why should i download the whole game everytime they give a big update? What is wrong?

[lofty sinew]

you aren't actually downloading the whole game

[hexed valve]

It said 19 gb update when i start it it said 79 gb

[clear fossil]

it downloads 19 but changes the 79

i think?

[lofty sinew]

it's touching every file in the game, the difference is 20gb of data

[hexed valve]

Nope

It downloads 79 gb for me

Not every contry has fast and cheap internet

[clear fossil]

well i wouldnt know i did the update on 10 minutes

or less

[hexed valve]

Yeah good for u buddy

But its pain in the ass for me every fking time

[lofty sinew]

updates are just a differential between one version of the game and the next. you shouldn't need to download the entire game.

[hexed valve]

Its the third time this shit happens for me

[clear fossil]

where do you live thats expensive internet?

[hexed valve]

Why cant this game update like other games

[clear fossil]

just want to know

[icy elbow]

i think it just happens sometimes

[hexed valve]

Iran

[icy elbow]

seems to be a steam thing, not a hunt thing

[hexed valve]

Its my third time

And im tierd

[icy elbow]

ive had that happen on other games as well

[hexed valve]

The only game that happens

[icy elbow]

to you

[lofty sinew]

maybe if the steam manifest gets corrupted it prompts a full download. idk

[icy elbow]

im just saying, this also happens to me on marvel rivals for some reason

[whole mist]

They should remove duos now at this point. The pool of players queuing into duos is smaller now since they’ve added duos searching for random 3rd

[icy elbow]

try repairing game files

[hexed valve]

Is there any way to stop this?

[lofty sinew]

yeah thats a fair point. I don't think they will though considering the game was originally designed with duo team size in mind

[hexed valve]

I will but i dont think anything change

[clear fossil]

oh thats finally a thing?

[icy elbow]

yesh

[clear fossil]

i wondered how i got 2 anime profile avatars in the same match

as my randoms

[icy elbow]

never playing duos again thank you god

[hexed valve]

The thing is when they give small size updates its okay but when its more than 20 or somthing this shit happens

[lofty sinew]

have you actually monitored your data usage during the process. I think you might just be misinterpreting the steam update progress (which can make the update look like it is downloading the entire thing)

[whole mist]

I think the game has evolved enough to where the majority play trios now. Even solos queue into trios more often it seems. Should just have trios, bounty clash, and soul survivor

[hexed valve]

Yeah bro trust me i did

Ty for the help anyway
