hunt-general

[raven totem]

I had to stop mid sentence

[tacit veldt]

( non melee capable wepon's ) vs ( melee capable weapons )

[light sky]

It's the worst in the long ammo category, tho imo feels pretty good since the last fixes this patch

[raven totem]

because it's one of the cheapest with little downsides

[tacit veldt]

that last one is a free slot, i usualy bring an extra trap

like concetrina

good for closing off doors when solo capping

[light sky]

but honestly, rn I would take a Mako over a lebel rn

[hazy crest]

You don’t really need flares and alerts

[raven totem]

it's not really an arguement lol

[hazy crest]

Alerts can burn bodies

[tacit veldt]

but my boy lebel...just because you don't even get two full clips of it !

[hazy crest]

Penninger or chokes are better util

[lofty parrot]

maybe but still pretty solid and for being the "worst" there it got levering ^^

[iron pilot]

rn

Im gonna poop ur pants spooky

[tacit veldt]

they can but they also alert everyone i burned a body, i mostly use them to rig up barrels

[raven totem]

base? idk over all. aperture no no. base, idk. lebel can still qs quite well

[iron pilot]

And there's nothing u can do

[raven totem]

also read the cheapest

[tacit veldt]

i might bring penny derringer instead of the decoys

[raven totem]

want a better long gun, pay more

I mean penies is meta, but experiementing and having fun is important as well

[tacit veldt]

i don't rlly know how good chokes are as a solo, they do stop bombs and such i guess

[unreal zinc]

u can block off windows, doors etc

[tacit veldt]

or buy a berthier, cheaper and amazing

[hazy crest]

I use chokes to block entrances all the time

[unreal zinc]

useful to funnel people in 1 or two entrances for a bit

[tacit veldt]

mhmm facts, what do you think i should replace for them if i was to bring those

[unreal zinc]

yeah

[unreal zinc]

maybe decoys honestly

i dont see any point in using those tbf

[tacit veldt]

yeah, decoys are situational

[unreal zinc]

yeah

[unreal zinc]

looks good

[raven totem]

you can but the mag can throw people off understandably

[tacit veldt]

3 shots is more than enogh imo

• it lets you get around bulletgrubber if you carry 2 types of ammo

and yes.. it lets you carry two ammo types

it has a lot of spare ammo too

[raven totem]

which is slow

[tacit veldt]

not if you use it after two shots

its only slow if you have 2 in the mag

but the speed isn't a problem if it sout of combat

berthi is also smaller so it pokes out less, has amazing ironsights, looks pretty damn good even without any skins ( wich is how i like to carry it atm ) and is much cheaper

[light sky]

meh, the reload is so damn slow man

[whole ocean]

quite a rewards from 1 game lmao

[tacit veldt]

Did you find like 3 oils and 2 bps xD

[raven totem]

it's that in combat that can be problematic. berth is a great rifle and prolly slighly undervalued right now though I'd agree

[tacit veldt]

Idk about you all but i feel like im always low on ammo when i use the lebel, but i rlly like the gun, its gorgeous, iron sights are great and it feels nice in general to use

But the ammo count always feels so little with it

[tacit veldt]

I love that little bugger, i used to main use a lot of lebel and vettereli deadeye

But nowdays i just like the regular or deadeye berthie

[raven totem]

it's a great gun, just not noob friendly

[tacit veldt]

I find myself using iron sights over deadeye a lot too

Idk feels more accurate?

[raven totem]

I still don't like dead eye much for repeating rifles

but back on lebel, I kinda feel like aperture should be the default in talking lebel

[tacit veldt]

I think it works amazing on the vettereli and even the berthier but they are bolt action

[raven totem]

since it's the meta choice with it

[tacit veldt]

I rlly dont like the apature sights

They feel so wierd to me

[raven totem]

I do, but lebel is the only one worth a damn after 1896 changes

[tacit veldt]

How so ?

[raven totem]

ranger's hv got hit to hard to be worth running, and mako is mako, the drop rate is so high you don't need aperture with it

lebel has spitzer too

[hazy crest]

Aperature sights are only for if you already know where the enemy is and can aim your crosshairs over them before you ads

Trying to look for people with an aperature is useless

[raven totem]

also good for crack peaks or holding shallow angles

[dense tree]

my team is showing that we all "chatted" during our games at the mission summary screen, but we have all our chat and voice settings off. is that bug or do have something enabled that I don't know about?

[unreal zinc]

believe its a bug not too sure

[frigid knot]

How to get explosive crossbow ammunition ?

[hazy crest]

Find it at supply carts or towers while you have a crossbow equipped

[frigid knot]

The description only mentions that it is obtained in a mission but does not say which one or the requirements.

[light sky]

Finally done with this thing (after procrastinating the challenges)

[light sky]

randomly spawn at carts or towers

[frigid knot]

If I have 2 ammunition equipped, can it still be picked up?

Do you have to carry simple ammunition to enter the place?

[hazy crest]

You can swap it with any crossbow ammunition

As long as you have crossbow equipped

[wheat bloom]

SA servers down again?

[tacit veldt]

how the hell

are you already max

do you get a boost if you own the BP

cuz i tend to buy them when i complete them

i rlly should try doing a cople of games with pistols only, mybe dual wield, its been..well..a long long time sience i tried dual

[unreal zinc]

theres a few challenges that give you about 1k xp for if you have the BP

[lofty parrot]

Hope they change it back soon

[unreal zinc]

but idk if theres any boosts that u can get

[lofty parrot]

The patience of some campers is amazing 😆

30 min into the game whole map is silent just the bounty trio doing the event nest and getting the event bounty
5 min later I kill them and take booth and went up to scupper to exit
Just for safety i scanned and rly saw on beside the exit camping xD
holy hell is it really enjoyable to wait/camp 30mins+ in a game while doing nothing? 😄

[tacit veldt]

you was in a game for a whole 30 min too

the camper most likely just went back when he saw the bounty being capped and stood there but still

thats just boring as hell XD

if he had time to intercept

i would have made a stand at a nearby building or area if i could and wait not wait at the exit

[lofty parrot]

Yeah but I fought 2 trios and a solo in the meantime ^^

[tacit veldt]

sounds oike a damn fun game

did you manage to escape

[lofty parrot]

With alot of panic yes xD
Bounty trio pushed me into the solo and when he began to fire at me i ran into the next trio 😅
Lucky I got alligator and was faster in the water

[light sky]

you get an extra challenge

but that's it

[tacit veldt]

aligator is beyond based

i have a small set i almost always pick up

( circled in are weapon based )

• the solo stuff

leaves about 2-3 of choice depending on the weapon , if running scopped i might need both scoped perks and bullet grubber

[lofty parrot]

I rly like it 😄 Saved my A a fozen of times ^^

[tacit veldt]

but if anything is left i perfer to bring things like anti bleed or anti fire as its a very brought ammo type

or perks you can get from tarot

or even poltergeist if i wanna mind game

[lofty parrot]

I mostly start with greyhoung necro and 1 or 2 perks for weapon aiming

[tacit veldt]

best things imo to start with as a solo are necro magpie and conduit

conduit is just free stamina and as a solo its extremly good as its 2x the duration

might make your first game a little more clutch as you won't have any aim perks but y know

[lofty parrot]

Nahhh dont do anti bleed 🙁 💔

[tacit veldt]

it also eliminates the need for greyhound and determination

[tacit veldt]

its usualy one of the last perks i get so XD

but anti bleed is almost mandatory in my opinnion

[lofty parrot]

For the most ppl I guess 😄 I´ve seen much more ppl with bulwark tahn with anti bleed

[tacit veldt]

you won't per say run into bleed builds all the time but it helps stopping that 1 tap forced patching from the springfield

why bulwark tho..it rlly only helps against add's

[lofty parrot]

Against explo
Sadly soo many time when I played explo crossbow they had bullwark
only doing 123 dmg

[tacit veldt]

explo ammo is scarce now

and explosion bullets are not that strong to warrant it

[lofty parrot]

I know and I hate it
2 Loadouts I cant use

[tacit veldt]

tthere is a reason they are scarce

i pray they make the damn concentria bow ammo scarce too 🤣

[lofty parrot]

Ppl complaining 😄
While they were never OP or overused
Just great in specific situations

[tacit veldt]

i swear bow players see that 2 trap limit and then say nah and bring like 8

[tacit veldt]

they were harder to use than general ammo but they provided way too much in good hands, say goodbye to edging corners , or trying to like poke your head out to plink at enemies

[lofty parrot]

Noooo 🙁 Dont takk ALL the fun out of the game

[tacit veldt]

yeah you come back to me when a 3 man of concentrina bow users close off all the exits and start tossing more into your arena

one moment i have places to run around the other all i see is baarbed wire

[copper zodiac]

how yall feel about rengoku speach as my wallpaper?

[lofty parrot]

Honestly this sound like REAL fun :DD
Call me lets do it xD

[lofty parrot]

And I love playing those vs shotty - slow them down while they charge u and just finish them then outside od their range xD

Whats ur favorite map guys and why?

[slate sage]

Maybe schizo but I feel like scrappy got stronger in the 1986 update feel like you swing his weapon and walks around the bathroom a lot more

[lofty parrot]

He "feels" a bit faster and agile yeah

But to be fair - he and butcher are just memes ^^
Most fights doesnt even take 30 sec without a single hit on u

[mild flower]

fast fingers, whispersmith and bulletgrubber? for what weapons?

[tacit veldt]

the circled ones are only picked up depending on the weapon, if its a one shot i use fast hands , if its a iron sight weapon i use that perk and so on

[mild flower]

oh wait the owl there is scopesmith

mb

whisper smith is still on the list tho yea?

[tacit veldt]

they are circled as they aren't a must have but dependant on the weapon

whispersmith isn't bad

its not a must have but its a good perk as one of the last one

[slate sage]

Idk I onely die to scrap beak every so often every boss but him is supper easy he just all ways gets me in a corner or something

[lofty parrot]

Just went through my lv 50 hunters and this was prob the most fun one 😄

[tacit veldt]

like it quiets down you changing from lets say a mosin to a crossbow to kill off that one alone enemy

[lofty parrot]

Just pierce him ez or if u dont need his drops, sticky him
Done

[mild flower]

fair enough, tbh i never use fast fingers even if i'm using a single shot

it's too janky and takes so long to switch ammo types without making it that much faster
but that is just me

[slate sage]

I been not bringing stick lately, pierce? Spear, knife etc?

[tacit veldt]

try using it with springfield

[wicked fox]

I think the Bomblance is the coolest invention in the game.

[tacit veldt]

especially if you run double bleed

turns the springfield from a poke and run weapon into a mako styled gun

fire rate buff on the springfield alone is worth it

[mild flower]

yea ive tried it, still just not for me

it's such a weird in-between of single shot and repeating

[lofty parrot]

spear, knife heavy attack, bajonette, rapier heavy

[mild flower]

slow enough that I can't sustain fire but faster than single shot

[tacit veldt]

its rlly a personal choice

i see a few guns that don't rlly need it

but i think it works well on springfield and martini

its decent on the sparks too

i think its hella useless on maynard tho

[mild flower]

i heard it gets rid of maynard's two-stage reload

[which is a bad thing i think]

[tacit veldt]

idk maynard already feels like it takes 10 buisniss days to reload

[mild flower]

[cause no cancelling and continuing later]

[tacit veldt]

you have to replace the firing pin then put a new bullet in and it only shortens the putting the bullet in part

[slate sage]

Ok

[tacit veldt]

i wonder if they plan to up the party count per lobby

i feel like 4 groups of 3 players in trios isn't like hell of a lot of players

sometimes i find myself having games where i never even run into anyone

or run into a solo

pretty sure solos take a space so you only get like 2 trios 2 solos

[shy flint]

i keep extracting with death cheat and at the lobby screen i dont have it anymore what is going on

[ancient cave]

it's bugged, they know it's bugged but ya know

[shy flint]

ah makes sense its happened to me twice now and i was just wondering

[lofty parrot]

Aligator saved the day again 😄
Picked a bounty of a solo and got chased by another double bounty trio
Starting from Lockbay, to Healing waters, to Pitching to Blanchett, to Darrows, to Reckers and then Exit 😄
They tried to cut my way but with Aligator I was sop much faster xD

[tacit veldt]

deadass had a trio run past me crouched in a bush as the reptillian

either they rlly didn't pay any attention or im that good at blending in with le bush

[upper hemlock]

People look for movement. Staying still works a lot more than it should lol

[lofty parrot]

Yep u do... 😅
Dats what I said in the Sniper/camper conversation yesterday
For me I dislike those croc skin bush campers with silent and shotty muuuuch more than any camping sniper ^^

[lofty parrot]

Its still part of the skin problem
Even Crytek already nerfed this skin but still not enough 😄

[upper hemlock]

Oh ive hidden behind trees as white shirt fo sho

[tacit veldt]

hey there was three of them and i was i n the open XD

id have done the same with any skin

[lofty parrot]

Just ran over a trio with 1 Auto 5 Mag...
just used it cuz I had in still on a soul survivor
I feel kinda dirty now

[wintry ferry]

Bruh this game putting me in full 6* lobbies as a solo

[icy elbow]

ya just too good

[wintry ferry]

I'm only 5.5 match MMR when solo tho

[ancient cave]

this is nowhere near as bad as mmr gets

[wintry ferry]

like lmao

[icy elbow]

close enough

[wintry ferry]

at least people are more aggressive here

[tacit veldt]

are silent killer and whispermith that usefull ?

[wintry ferry]

Solo trios in 3-4* match MMR is just torture to play in

A lot of people doing nothing

[tacit veldt]

cuz i could see getting rid of them for something

its like whispersmith i can see the use for it

[wintry ferry]

and you have to make EVERYTHING happen even if you're solo

[wintry ferry]

Certain loadouts make good use of them

[tacit veldt]

but silent killer ? you almost never rlly use melee where i feel its t hat benefitial

[wintry ferry]

Silent Killer for Bomb Lance players that want to troll with the melee

[tacit veldt]

like if im using melee im probably being chased by a zombie so like y know

its not rlly going to quiet me down and keep me hidden XD

[little widget]

bruh what is this

'crytek fix yo game!

[wintry ferry]

It's not supposed to make your compound traversal quiet that much

Like I guess you'll be heard killing a zombie 50m instead of 60m because you don't have the melee noise

but it allows you to charge melee without being heard

Whispersmith on the other hand makes otherwise easily reactable util pull out somewhat viable

Like hellfire bombs or bees or even conc

Someone whips out hellfire bomb you hear it a decent distance without whispersmith

Bomb lance itself is also giga noisy when you swap to it

[tacit veldt]

this is kind of what i go for ( circled in stuff is replacable depending on the gun or just if i feel like i need it )

im maybe on whispersmith i feel it does its job

[wintry ferry]

You have full trait and don't run doctor?

[tacit veldt]

tho iv been starting to feel like that reach was not that necessery

like grabbing things from afar

[wintry ferry]

doctor + phys invalidates a lot of loadouts that depend on tagging you instead of headshotting you like burn or bleed

[tacit veldt]

serpent that is

[tacit veldt]

yeah im trying to fit it into my build so im going ot get rid of serpent or whispersmith, tho serpent feels pretty much here and there nowdays

i don't rlly feel like i need need serpent

[wintry ferry]

Oh wait is this for solo trios

[tacit veldt]

solo

[wintry ferry]

Ah solo duos

[tacit veldt]

solo vs trios

or solo vs duos , same thing rlly

i usualy run against trios

[copper zodiac]

I MUST CHANGE MY STEAM NAME TO GYOTURO RENGOKU

[wintry ferry]

unless you're running like marathon wouldn't you skip iron eye

[high nacelle]

I used to have a pretty good read on how a person's resources were draining during a firefight but now I feel like I always struggle with it

I used to count shots and then count first aid/shot usage and get a feel on when to push

Now I feel like there's enough variables where it's hard to guess if somebody's actually dry on health resources

[tacit veldt]

im running on that one in particular a mosin

[high nacelle]

Iron eye is only ever a must grab for me on Centennial

[tacit veldt]

but i usualy keep iron sights on anything that can aim down sights, i tend to play things like berthier or vetterelli

[high nacelle]

Because it fucks with centennial

[wintry ferry]

In slower games people just let regen do its thing instead of using meds these days

or in team games in general

if they're not in the risk of being triple pushed

[high nacelle]

Yeah, I'm old lol

It used to be "Okay, three first aid uses and a Vitality shot, they're fucked now"

[wintry ferry]

and stuff like restoration shot means even if you headshot someone there's no guarantee you'll 1-tap them later on

[tacit veldt]

its definetly going to be usefull with any weapon with more than X shots

label rocks with it

[high nacelle]

Yeah, it's a skill that's become less valuable over time

I used to view drawn out fights more in terms of resource management

Now it's more "They're tagged go in"

[wintry ferry]

Ammo boxes, Regen Shot, and Restoration shots

trivialized the HP and resource game

[high nacelle]

Hunt's also always had the bell curve of aggression

[tacit veldt]

doesn't the ability to stay aimd down sigh aactually help a lot tho

with long ammo

even with guns like berthier

saves you aiming down again

shoots faster

[wintry ferry]

I don't get to use it enough to justify it for myself

Usually when I release shots I don't stick in ADS either way

unless I catch someone in the open

[high nacelle]

People meme about 6* being a campfest but 6 stars know how good refragging and pushing for a single kill are

Vs 5 stars who are good enough at the game and game sense but also often don't understand that rushing is actually the best way to win

[wintry ferry]

Pressure as a concept does not exist to them

[tacit veldt]

i will try a few games without it to see if it works for me

staying in ads helps keeping corners

or like quick peaking out again

[raven totem]

brackets

[wintry ferry]

You don't get punished for staying in ADS?

Usually the lack of fast movement by choosing to stay in ADS is a death sentence

Unless it's a situation where you're free to do it

[wintry ferry]

Yeah IK but I feel I'm not really that good

and it's absurd

[high nacelle]

I come from an arena shooter background so seeing fights as a push/pull is more natural to me, and people often just forget the push part lol

[wintry ferry]

That my friend who is also 6* just puts us into full 6* by playing duo-trios

[tacit veldt]

it depends rlly

[raven totem]

duos vs trios mm is fucked anyway

[tacit veldt]

it can be both a boon and a detriment

staying in ads

[wintry ferry]

It can really be simplified to most brackets as just "pick and push"

[high nacelle]

People really don't understand in solo vs trios how many misplays you can force after you take out a single person

[wintry ferry]

Assuming you're playing as a trio just doing pick and push will win you a lot of games

[raven totem]

two 6s in duos vs trios will always be full 6 typically

[high nacelle]

Pick and push has been the actual #1 fps tactic since cs 1.6 but shh don't tell people that lol

[wintry ferry]

Doesn't even have to mean push IN necessarily

can be push around

The concept of covering rez

[high nacelle]

Especially in a game like Hunt

I've had to explain the concept of refragging a lot

[wintry ferry]

By refrags you mean trading a kill right

[high nacelle]

Mhmm

[wintry ferry]

Refrags are so huge in Hunt

because usually you're positioned in a way you can rez someone you traded for

[high nacelle]

The idea that one player forces the other into a situation where if they get a kill they're almost guaranteed to die to a teammate

Yeah

[wintry ferry]

and inverts numbers instantly

[high nacelle]

Res makes refragging actually busted

Fucking exactly

There's so many small things that's just game sense

But this is coming from my competitive background in fps games

[wintry ferry]

I have a competitive background in fighting games and Hunt is honestly my first FPS

and a lot of sense kinda carries over but it took me 2k hours to have passable aim

[high nacelle]

No way

Strive, T8, SF6 Main, go

[wintry ferry]

Oh nah bruh I don't play newer ones anymore lol

[high nacelle]

Third strike?

[wintry ferry]

I fell off after COVID era

[high nacelle]

I've been to Evo twice

I miss the old FGC

[wintry ferry]

No shit? Fuck man I always wanted to go

[high nacelle]

But this could be like

An actual full convo so lol

I'm an 09er myself and I'm sure you know what that means

[wintry ferry]

but I'm like, 3rd world asian so I'm too giga poor to go anywhere

[high nacelle]

Fair

[wintry ferry]

I'm not an 09'er I started with Marvel 3

[high nacelle]

I play Trenchcoats

[wintry ferry]

LUL

[high nacelle]

Because easy lol

[wintry ferry]

I play Verg/Doom/Dante

[high nacelle]

Verg point

[wintry ferry]

Anyways the game sense kinda carries over to me

[high nacelle]

Unfathomably based

[wintry ferry]

because you have concepts like spacing and angles and "know what your opponent wants to do"

[high nacelle]

But yeah it does for me too

[wintry ferry]

What took me a while

[high nacelle]

Just like in fighting games, health is a resource

[wintry ferry]

Is drilling FPS fundamentals

like pie-slicing, trades, movement

[high nacelle]

And yeah, making reads, positioning, zoning, even "whiff punishing", in this case forcing a bad shot and punishing them for it

A lot of competitive stuff carries over

[wintry ferry]

Pie Slicing I learned for CS but in Hunt if you always do it you get headshotted by spitzer lmao

because the strafe is so slow

[high nacelle]

Mhmm

[wintry ferry]

Yeah zoning is one thing I really like to use as a concept

Confirming what space is taken or isn't, what angles are taken via util

[high nacelle]

The classic example of

[wintry ferry]

but tbh I'm like

still trash at FPS

bottom barrel

[high nacelle]

"I don't bring dynamite because I don't get any kills"

Vs

"I bring dynamite because I know it forces them where I want them to go"

[wintry ferry]

The threat of something is also sometimes better than the actual thing

[bitter wyvern]

Okay. So playing Controller with bomb lance works!

[tacit veldt]

so is there a reason you don't perfer to even have something like ironsights or the scoped varient of it

i understand why you wouldn't want to stay scoped in all the time but i can see it coming in handy every now and then and just having the option to do it seems pretty decent

[high nacelle]

It's also why flash bombs were busted because the threat of them itself was enough to push people out of position lol

[wintry ferry]

Both have pretty good RoF increase esp scopesmith but for Scopesmith I rarely play scopes at all, and when I do sometimes I accidentally trigger scopesmith and get stuck in it

[high nacelle]

I actually use the Aperture on guns

I'm weird like that

[wintry ferry]

Iron eye I just honestly forget to run it because I'm too busy playing 1 shot and go

If I strafe repeek with ADS I usually insta-die

[high nacelle]

People repeak even in 6* lol

[wintry ferry]

Yeah because you have to check if they can punish it first

but I'm not an amazing aimer

So I avoid ego peeking unless I'm absolutely feeling myself

or if it's a VERY IMPORTANT repeek

like catching someone open and a chance to down them in a place nobody can ever rez them or smth

[opaque mulch]

WHHHHHY oh why does this game need to be ruined by blatant hacking at the 6 star level... two games in a row with brand new hunt accounts or new steam accounts with 3.5kd and up. Its so annoying

[crystal tundra]

This is my best shot

[wintry ferry]

Tbh when I first tried it I got hooked on using flash

I also have no qualms with using rifle + shotgun all day ever since 2021 (Always played Winnie + Romero HC)

because it's part of the game, so why not

[lofty parrot]

Highlights again not recorded... love it...
🙁 bowing the trio looked to great

[tacit veldt]

if i play scopes i usualy go for deadeye, but its been a while and now it just feels like off XD

im actually interestd if you stay ADS'd with the drilling without iron sights

cuz its a dual trigger rifle and a shotgun

[wintry ferry]

You stay in ADS

[tacit veldt]

so its a wasted perk, good to know so i don't do it

[wintry ferry]

Same with Rival

If you're playing Rival slug or smth

[tacit veldt]

rival lacks damage compared to other shotguns

only rlly good for quick double taps

[wintry ferry]

You 1-tap 12m, and 2-tap up to like 18m or something

[tacit veldt]

why not use a slate at that point or uhh..what was the name of that other one

[lofty sinew]

it's 1tap range sucks entirely because of the 2tap feature

[wintry ferry]

Preference and gun feel

[lofty sinew]

because slate cycle rate is way slower than rival 2 tap

[tacit veldt]

yeah what joel said

[wintry ferry]

Also if a Slate user and Rival shoot each other at 18m Rival will instakill the guy

[tacit veldt]

there is that other one thats like slate but supposedly better

[wintry ferry]

Specter?

[lofty sinew]

specter

[tacit veldt]

i honestly don't run it so i forgot the name

yeah specter

[wintry ferry]

Specter's p darn great

[tacit veldt]

i only ever run shorty specter

i don't like how long the barrel is ngl on the regular one

better if you take the bayonet one its shorter

[wintry ferry]

No don't

[lofty sinew]

i think specter is unarguably better overall but i think the rival 2 tap still beats it outside it's range

[wintry ferry]

Bayonet nerfs tf out of its buckshot

[wintry ferry]

https://outplayed.tv/hunt-showdown/gLxExb The funniest way to play it

is as a follow up rifle to a pocket sparks

[karmic citrus]

Rivals best because it makes me feel like doom guy

[jolly parcel]

berthier best because 3 bullets 3 headshots

[lofty sinew]

i just appreciate rival because it givesd me another chance when i whiff a shot

[karmic citrus]

Berthier best until you reload

[wintry ferry]

wym

It reloads p fast

[karmic citrus]

It gets rid of the entire clip, yeah?

[wintry ferry]

Yeah

[karmic citrus]

I hate it for that, I cod reload a lot. Can't help myself

[wintry ferry]

tbh I have this habit with Lebel where I hitconfirm a headshot and then cancel into a reload

So that if I don't have bulletgrubber I don't waste a bullet trying to top off

and that habit fucks me up with Berthier lmao

because instead of just ejecting 1 empty bullet casing it ejects the entire thing

[tacit veldt]

berthier gang rise up

[karmic citrus]

I like the vetterli because you can top off, it has a deadeye variant, and I get cool free battle pass skin for it, AND I can run drilling mace with it for more ammo, a shotgun, and a melee

It's peak

I've been running around a bit with the homestead

WHY THE FUCK ARE MY LEDS SPAZZING OUT
I don't think my lights like the homestead

[frigid ibex]

the combat res and then not sticking to it

[wintry ferry]

Yeah I thought he stuck it that's why I preaimed the corpse lmao

It was giga dumb

[lofty parrot]

Good choice
For me the marksman is the best

[tacit veldt]

vettereli was my go to gun, especially deadeye

veterelli is a top of the line pick imo, its fast firing, good damage, good range, its just overall good

[wintry ferry]

Good to see some Vetterli Enjoyers here

[tacit veldt]

slap some fmj on it and its now peamk

it can do as much as your avarage long ammo rifle

[lofty sinew]

it's still not long ammo

but vetterli is betterli

[tacit veldt]

medium ammo picks for me are vettereli and springfield

[lofty sinew]

i run centi and vetterli mostly, if i am running a rifle

[tacit veldt]

centi has been untocuhed for a while , maybe i should again

it feels so nice to use but i just love my bolt action stuff like berthier or fun stuff like crossbows / bows

[sleek eagle]

Servers dying?

[karmic citrus]

The sparks will forever have a place in my heart, it's so fun

[lofty parrot]

Its for sure my most played weapon using it for everything

[tacit veldt]

i every now and then run label or mosin but its just not as fun as berthi , sparks is a fun pick to play around with and so is martini

[tacit veldt]

silenced vetterli is a meanace in good hands

[karmic citrus]

I haven't ran mosin in so long, it's so expensive compared to other options

[wintry ferry]

In terms of long ammo my preference
Lebel > Mosin > Berthier > Sparks > Krag > Martini > Mako

[ruby plaza]

And it was a dum dum ammo holy moly

[lofty parrot]

Same here
For me its just "more fun" when my whole loadout is just cheap but I killing people with close to 1k loadouts repeatedly 😄

[karmic citrus]

I LOVE THE MAKO!!!

It's so silly

[wintry ferry]

I hate it lmao feels so weird

[karmic citrus]

The only government I accept is 45-70 damn it

[wintry ferry]

The weird "stiffness" of Lebel I really like

and the sound design is so peak

For Med ammo:
Vett > Drilling > Spring > Cent

Compact is just whatever they're all interchangeable to me

Maybe
Marathon = Frontier = Ranger = Officer Carbine > Infantry

[lofty sinew]

leaving out officer carbine, how dare

[karmic citrus]

My favorite compact primary is the frontier(?)73c with the big spiky scary shit on the stock

[lofty parrot]

I never play compact outside of weeklies 😄

[wintry ferry]

Oh shoot you're right

[opaque mulch]

holy hell the cheating is rampant

[wintry ferry]

Fixed 👀

[opaque mulch]

55 meters headshot all three of us conversion duelies

[wintry ferry]

Though Carbine is amazing for having gotten me out of so many tight situations

Like having to headshot 2 guys really fast

or just 2 tapping people really fast

[lofty sinew]

ok fair. I mean i wouldn't say they were all exactly equal, they have their niches I guess. but i guess mostly same same

[wintry ferry]

Yeah I'm just saying that's my pref bruh

Like if I'm feeling like playing Marathon I could throw in winnie in there and it'd be mostly same

Tho infantry winnie

is weird to me

Find it harder to headshot with it for some reason

[karmic citrus]

If I ran compact primaries more I'd definitely use the officer a lot as a secondary, it's a really good gun if you miss a lot like I do

Same with conversion chain pistol, my favorite secondary because I'm bad

[wintry ferry]

I just realized I haven't played Officer Carbine in a long time

Like ever since I upgraded GPU

[karmic citrus]

Same, and it has a deadeye variant 👀

[wintry ferry]

That gun feels cheap af though

[karmic citrus]

Gotta go run that thing again

[wintry ferry]

Like I feel carried when I wipe a team with it

[karmic citrus]

I hate its recoil though

If I'm remembering right, and not just fucking insane, it kicks a lot to the left doesn't it?

[lofty sinew]

it's no more of a carry than a mosin or a specter imho

you still have to aim and be in the right place

[wintry ferry]

If you don't control it it can end up a combination of sideways and downward

[karmic citrus]

Doesn't matter if you gun shoots faster, all they'd have to do it land a round in your head

[lofty sinew]

i mean ROF is pretty strong.. it's why all of the top picks tend to be the highest ROF gun in their category

[karmic citrus]

I love watching bomb lance users rush me when I have a 12 gauge ❤️

I wiped a 3 man because they just kept funneling for the melee kill just a bit ago

[wintry ferry]

Yeah but midrange getting 2-tapped by it is pretty much unreactable even if you don't headshot

and you can just erase a whole team with it in any MMR bracket

In a faster time than any other gun

[lofty sinew]

sure. it's a strong gun. not totally dissimilar to bornheim match

[wintry ferry]

Yeah Bornie Match as well

[wintry ferry]

And tbh I feel carried by those guns as well lmao

Like it seems arbitrary but guns like Sparks and Romero feel way more "honest"

[lofty sinew]

oh sure. if you dominate a team with single shots you played well, likely better than the other team

no question of being carried by lucky hits with high ROF or whatever

[tacit veldt]

fucking campers man

sitting all game at the exit

i was about to retire my hunter too

had good game streak today i guess tihs is the bad streak now

went from 6 to 2 hunters

[lofty parrot]

Yep I feel u

[lofty sinew]

yesterday i got pennyshot by someone sitting in a shrub who hadn't moved in about 5 minutes.

not doing anything stronk

[tacit veldt]

still nothing as insulting as getting gunned down by a derringer

i mean i guess getting fisted to death

[lofty sinew]

i mean it was a derringer

penny derringer

which is to say, i basically trod on their toes as i walked past without noticing them

[mild flower]

Avtomat
Or Spitzer/nitro collateral if you count that

[lofty parrot]

Just fought 2 ppl at the exit 1 min after game start
Fighting who can leave first xDDD

[mild flower]

Why were you leaving 1 min after game start

Weather?

[bitter wyvern]

I really hate progression hunters.

They're the most infuriating thing in Hunt, because you are not guaranteed to leave alive, or reach level 50.

[lofty parrot]

Yeeeep 😄
Damn foggy rain

[mild flower]

Will never understand why people do that instead of just adapting. But I think I've already had the sniping in weather discussion with you so oh well

Early extraction is a genuine mechanic tbf

[shell turret]

my method for leveling hunter is giving them better gear the higher the level

[mild flower]

Isn't that kind of the point

[tame grotto]

Any tips for new/returning player.

[mild flower]

New or returning which one?

Returning from when?

[tame grotto]

Well both kinda only have 30 hours from when I last played 3 years ago

[raven totem]

aim for the head

[lofty parrot]

I think we had yes ^^
For me It´s a nobrainer
It just dumb for me, playing in a weather which would give u an disadvantage
So just leave and wait for a map with better weather ^^

[mild flower]

What Mr glide said but unironically. Trigger discipline is a great skill in this game and if you have the time to line up a fatal headshot before your enemy notices, do it.
As opposed to just taking the body shot as soon as you see someone who doesn't see you

[tame grotto]

Best thing for bosses pretty much melee with a stim?

[raven totem]

always what Mr.glide says

[mild flower]

@tame grotto also the relatively new "surefoot" trait is pretty broken, use it when you have the points to spare

[raven totem]

can be, or a sticky bomb, thats situational

really my big advice is play cheap guns and cheap syringes until you get the hang of things, and try to just have fun

if any more in detail questions feel free to ask of course

[mild flower]

Every boss has different weaknesses, but generally, fire except for the butcher, sticky bombs, explosives in general, melees with stamina, spamming throwing weapons or bow weapons with pullouts, the tower card (new tarot card from event) and more

[tame grotto]

And it seems like axes/throwing knifes are best for meat heads and bears right? Or is there an efficient way people are killing them

[tame grotto]

I see

[mild flower]

Penny shot derringer and explosives are probably the meta way to kill them

2 penny shots point blank to a Bear's guts are enough to instantly kill or bring them to very low hp from what I've heard

And explosives are self explanatory, just make sure to cook them enough that it explodes where you want and don't explode yourself

[shell turret]

how many shots to down a meathead with a nitro?

[tame grotto]

What are the fuse times

[mild flower]

@tame grotto note that rending explosives such as the frag bomb are not as effective against ai

[mild flower]

Iirc the throwables show their fuse times in the menu in their stats, but when you cook an explosive, the aim helper (trajectory line) shrinks according to where it will explode. So if you see it start to get shorter, it's about to explode where the line ends if you throw it at that point.

[raven totem]

using throwable melee is pretty meta ye, I like axes but most would agree spear is best

[raven totem]

1

both normal and shredder

idk if explosive does because it doesn't actually exist in my mind.

[radiant wren]

howdy, happy friday yall

[floral hornet]

Dynamite sticks one-shot meatheats (idk bears), if you don't care about being discovered or know there's no teams/ players close-ish to you. If you use dynamite just make sure to either cook it properly or to not get poisoned/ agro the meatheat and making it run outside of explosion range

[restive walrus]

You need the dynamite bundle (big one) to insta kill bears

[mild flower]

big dynamite bundle or normal dynamite bundle

By the big one do you mean it's bigger than a single stick or actually big

[sage belfry]

just wondering, thoughts on removing mmr?

[floral hornet]

new players get steamrolled by currently 5-star/ whatever's max rating players every game and then hunt has no new players (assuming what you're talking about is removing skill-based matchmaking).

[restive walrus]

Big

[raven totem]

st7pid idea

When I need a break from sniping ^^

[tawny frost]

bro

just no

wheres the melee???

[lofty parrot]

Look at the weapon maybe

[tawny frost]

immolators??? helloo??

[lofty parrot]

They are no problem ^^

[tawny frost]

bro is suicidal with that loadout

in more ways than 4

[lofty parrot]

Besides a baseball bat i NEVER have a blunt weapon with me ^^

Works just fine
No need of those or knife or knuckles

[stuck valve]

He can heavy attack with Mako

It will use its buttstock

[lofty parrot]

Is this Nvidia Button doing anything by u guys?

[tawny frost]

4-5 heavy attacks

nearly 15 seconds of time wasted

[rancid venture]

Just get them in water and shoot them easy

[short halo]

4 heavy hits and 10.5 seconds
For the amount of immolators you run into it's perfectly fine

[tawny frost]

say that to the enemy team watching you

[short halo]

Wouldnt make a difference if you were running dusters in that case

[tawny frost]

which he isnt

[short halo]

No, i mean dusters wouldnt help you any more than the mako would

You'd be screwed either way

[tawny frost]

but having a blunt option would increase said survivability rates in said situation

[short halo]

Not really, no
They already have a blunt buttstock and having the dusters wouldnt be fast enough to save you anyhow

[tawny frost]

https://tenor.com/view/wuh-cat-cat-meme-confused-gif-17768241876164656273

truly a heathen moment

2*

[short halo]

2 plus a light

[tawny frost]

nah always 2

2 headshot and its down

[short halo]

Maybe after the changes, but it's been two and a light for years

[lofty parrot]

A trio camping the bounty inside building
Auto5, Terminus, Specter... nice...

[tawny frost]

goodluck with explosive mako

[lofty parrot]

I get into one every 4 rounds

[lofty parrot]

This is gone since the round before ^^
Shotty bush camper xD

[short halo]

You get into an immolator every 4 rounds?

[lofty parrot]

The trick is - dont let this situations appeaer
Immos are lodu u can hear them ez from afar
just dodge em

[lofty parrot]

Triggering one
They are ez to avoid

[short halo]

I know dusters vs armored changed. Wasnt sure about immos

[tawny frost]

enjoy playing minesweeper dude

[lofty parrot]

What u mean with good luck?
if u triggering them again and again u just move wrong
Pathing around them even while continue sprinting is damn ez

[tawny frost]

forget it, i just realized what type of playstyle you have

[lofty parrot]

And what playstyle is it? ^^

[scenic plinth]

just pennyshot the fire guy

[short halo]

I could be misremembering the count. I just know it was always more than 2

[tawny frost]

you missed, i always kill with 2 heavy

[uneven sandal]

you cant just post ppls details it will get removed

[tawny frost]

next time i open hunt i will

[lofty parrot]

2 Heavy and 1 light should be right

[worn oak]

You had berserker trait. That's why.

[tawny frost]

i really doubt i would run dusters with berserker

[bitter wyvern]

Ah. Update on experiment.

Controller is indeed viable, and somehow I killed 10 hunters all together in my games. Way better than mouse and keyboard.

Also Bomb Lance is fun. But steel balls are a bit limiting. Harpoon might be better.

[lofty parrot]

Not the most far but still funny to suprise them like dat 😄

[lofty parrot]

Do controllers have aim assist? 😄
How myn headshots?

[bitter wyvern]

I never really play with aim assist in most games.

And I haven't done anything for headshots yet, I've just been using the bomb lance. I'll give my Vetterli/Katana build a try next and tell ya. Tomorrow though.

[trail ether]

i wanted to express my sincere gratitude to all the streamers looking to abuse anything ingame and broadcast it. As a 3 star ish player with 0.5 kd i am more than happy having to find a new loadout each time a streamer had an idea last season.

[tawny frost]

huh

[trail ether]

i hope life's not too hard on you

[ancient cave]

variety is good

[trail ether]

variety as in removing gear from the game ? sure

[lofty parrot]

Hunt in a nutshell
Me solo with bounty inside building
fighting off a trio for nearly 20 minutes
Then dying to wallbang headshot
Go into spectate - wondering where everyone else is
Clicking through the players
8!!! Hunters sitting around the compound just watching and doing nothing 🤣
not a single shot where made the 20 minutes beside the trio and me 🤦‍♂️ 😂

[left orbit]

the classic hunt experience

i once was in a team like that
no coms
all sitting and waiting

i asked why.... then got bored after 10 solid minutes of nothingness, rushed inside, got killed and DC, waste of time

[stone basin]

Man I am totally so good and its not totally a one time thing

[bold girder]

melee buff is nuts, i just stabbed a bloke through a wall with a cavalry saber

[simple basin]

If you get queued with this man, dodge the match

[turbid dock]

The type of post the mods will nuke your garage for

[lofty parrot]

Exactly dats why I avoid Immos instead of fighting them
They are sooo loud when triggered - u can shot a flare into the sky It would be the same attention

[simple basin]

?

[lofty parrot]

Which mods?

[simple basin]

The ones in this server

[lofty parrot]

man i love hunt

7 billion crashes in the 15 hour playtime i've spent in this game

cool game tho

[sinful aurora]

#customer-support
it shouldn't crash that often.

[fleet adder]

Wat gear is being removed?

[normal radish]

i can only think of 1 thing so far

which was 1 million percent deserved lol

[fleet adder]

What's that

[normal radish]

rez bolts

[fleet adder]

Shredder?

Oh ye that too lol

[normal radish]

nah that was an event thing

[fleet adder]

Def wasn't a streamer problem

[normal radish]

rz bolts were kinda, you know. yeh

[fleet adder]

Res bolts were just a complete antithesis to every change they tried to make in 1896 and were abused like a mofo by every team out there

Idk what gear he is talking about that streamers are getting removed though lol

[normal radish]

if they were like, scarece from begining. and limited in ammo, they might have stayed actually

but the way they introduced them

its like introducing a TANK into a lawn mower race

[fleet adder]

I'd be happy if we never saw them again

[astral moss]

I think at the start the dev wanted to keep it after the event but since the weapon was stupidly broken they didn't.

[uneven sandal]

guys love reviving

I'm 100% sure 1000% sure that at some point the design team just had a whiteboard with a column "What players like" and "Reviving" was at the top of the list

this is how revive bolts came to existence

[normal radish]

ye probably

[astral moss]

I think that people were complaining to die more and can't be revive cause of the necro nerf that change the meta after the 2.0.

Like people actually need to have good positioning to be revive so they complain.

[scenic plinth]

Was honestly so stupid "were nerfing necro guys it was too strong, but also heres this new item thats stronger than necro and instant and you don't need perk points to get it"

[uneven sandal]

it was a genius play

you nerf necro but you know immediately people will whinge and complain so you add a terrible revive mechanic people will complain about instead

then you remove the mechanic and people forget they should whine about necro nerfs

[astral moss]

imagine people complain of dying.

[tall canopy]

i lost my lvl 32 hunter and will never play the game again

for 2 minutes

[uneven sandal]

you will not believe it but its the most common complaint in fps games

[astral moss]

i believe it cause even here, we got complain about anyhting every day.

i am now stuck in the eternal loading screen cycle

NEVERMIND

and it crashed

perfect

[heady scroll]

I think

If you didn’t get stuck loading or crash

That you’d be fine

Idk tho

[left prairie]

i loaded in and the maps i saw didn’t load in yet then my game crahsed

[heady scroll]

I’m not 100% on these issues but try verifying game files

[uneven sandal]

it wasnt really bunny hopping it was an elaborate and precise refined tech

for gentlemen

[left orbit]

yeah me neither

well well. i totally forgot that of all the spawns around Salter’s pork (corner, then in front of compound), there is a third that’s closer to Arden. got offed from there while watching the corner

shait

ye…

[uneven sandal]

is this not updated this isnt all spawn points

[left orbit]

wat? there is MORE???

for me those 3 are all i can remember on this area

[uneven sandal]

yea theres one in the forest that puts you in front of the river

[empty eagle]

yep

[left orbit]

that’s the other zone i guess

[uneven sandal]

no

[fathom shale]

Yeah around here

[uneven sandal]

yea

[left orbit]

oh

you’re actually right

[fathom shale]

This one is updated seemingly

https://thehuntmap.com/Lawson.html

[left orbit]

ay

[uneven sandal]

yes this is correct

[left orbit]

mkay lemme update my favs then

thanks for the update

[tall canopy]

sad that hunt stats seems do be down

[fathom shale]

Probably should clean the pinned message from links to sites that aren't up to date enough

Like hunt rip still doesn't have mammon's gulch

[uneven sandal]

I used to call this spawn point 'rare' but im not sure if it's actually like a rare roll or just got added pretty late into games life so I got to play it less

[tall canopy]

check pinned message in #game-questions

those sites shoulb be moslty up to date

[left orbit]

i've indeed rarely spawn there out of all the spawns in salters

[uneven sandal]

there's a couple of spawn points like that that got added sometime later into the games life

and the only thing they have in common is they have some kind of weird pathing in front or some sort of obstacle

[spark finch]

is anyone even playing soul survivor? lmao

[tall canopy]

there are, but general low population on all gamemodes that are not bounty hunt

[raven totem]

if it where not for achievments I bet they would have removed qp by now

[uneven sandal]

quickwho?

[wheat pilot]

as a solo is it generally easier to play against duos or trios? It seems obvious that duos would be easier but I was thinking that maybe the smaller amount of teams in trios would make it slightly easier. Every duo has a numerical advantage over me anyways.

[uneven sandal]

trios

its always trios not only does the game matchmake you with even worse players than in duos

the main appeal is that since there's less teams the odds of you getting blindsided by a 3rd party drastically drop

which is the main cause for death

[wheat pilot]

aight, thanks

[polar ridge]

Trios for the above reasons.

[left orbit]

springfield shorty dum dum + romero buckshot works wonders in a brawl
even way beyond roro oneshot distance if you let'em bleed enough you can finish the kill it’s dope

number 1 reason getting a match in hunt is slow : ain't player base, it’s just lobby leavers

[uneven sandal]

you gonna have to explain this one

what's a lobby leaver

[astral moss]

Mmmmmh, no.

[spark finch]

figured. I queued 3 times and all 3 times I was the only survivor after getting the wellspring

[compact sinew]

MMR match making is 100% broken

[tall canopy]

#feedback

[silk shoal]

Came back to Hunt after an almost year long break. Still as fun as I remember, but God do i wish folk would stop being too scared to die and just push the object

Sorry for the pissing and the moaning 🙃

[astral moss]

You are just saying fact ngl.

[spark finch]

Yeah, they are afraid to lose their equips/hunters

So if you're willing to learn how to push consistently it's better to just use a free loadout. You won't lose anything

[silk shoal]

Like, I'm not good at the game. My KD is pretty rough for the hours I've put in. But I love the feel of Hunt, hence why I've come back.

Just venting cus a member of our trio hung back and made no effort to engage until the other team had reached extract. I'm not saying folks should be reckless, but I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory than crouch walking across the map

[ember rock]

play bf6 instead hunt is dead LOL

[silk shoal]

Apologies. Don't mean to use the Discord like a box of tissues 😂

[astral moss]

Are you playing in random trio ?

[silk shoal]

I was. Sometimes they go well. Sometimes they don't.

I don't mind it too much to be fair

[astral moss]

Don't count on your team mate in random.

They are mostly useless and only there to make noise or take the aggro.

[lofty sinew]

some mildly frustrating lobbies tonight in the same vein. it's sad when you have to basically kiss people to make anything happen

[bright plover]

I'm beginning to hate this game's community. Why does only 1/5 people (more or less) have a fucking microphone? In a fucking team game, where basic communication like "Push him, he's out of ammo" or "he has Slate, don't push" is a live or death question. I gotta find some regular teammates instead of relying on randoms.

[tall canopy]

lotta shy players in randos i guess

[frank fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-shooting-dont-be-a-menace-funny-lmao-gif-6119299

[spark finch]

in the same vein, can I communicate with other solo players?

[lofty sinew]

yeah via prox chat

assuming they don't have it turned off..

[spark finch]

interesting...

[lofty sinew]

have had solos coordinate vs me and other teams via it before. not gonna work every time i guess. but sometimes.

[spark finch]

I wish I had communicated with some of them because we could've extracted with 2 bounties each

but eh, such is the nature of hunt

[onyx breach]

I pulled a funny yesterday

Knifed someone

With duel pistols

[rose kite]

that how it is, people dont realize until they learn the hard way that mic is recommended, but plus on bright side, i usually either solo or team up with friends who have mics, so it usually solves everything for me

[astral moss]

Hunt a team game ?
I think there is some misunderstood thing here.

[onyx breach]

I don’t talk a lot so I can listen to where the footsteps are

[mild flower]

imo if you queue randoms and your teammate is bad within reason, it's on you if you get annoyed about it

it's randoms

it's in the name: random. you can't expect to be getting great teammates every time

[astral moss]

Spoiler: Random are rarely good.

[lofty sinew]

oh yeah. it's just the voice aspect. feels better to die with people who you can kinda coordinate with at least you know

idgaf myself, if i play randos we're the three muskateers for a lobby

[astral moss]

(And tbh i don't want to talk to them.)

[mild flower]

as long as they at least use the text chat it's alright

even if they don't, they can use ping markers too

if they don't even use ping markers, i'd call that a bad teammate, but i expect to encounter some bad teammates in randoms

[lofty sinew]

yeah. i don't really care myself. I can just understand people getting frustrated by endless death lobbies where it feels like you're playing alone even in a team. it is what it is. but i can understand it feeling frustrating i guess

my thing is getting frustrated with myself really. i don't care what other people did so long as i didn't play like a moran

sadly, i do regularly 😛

[mild flower]

randoms in Oce are usually actually good and communicate a lot from my experience, the issue is there's rarely more than a couple solos in the server to fight

[lofty sinew]

yeah i've been hard carried in oce randos, multiple times

[mild flower]

usually chill dudes

[lofty sinew]

yep

[mild flower]

mateship

[astral moss]

lol oce is another world.

[lofty sinew]

lobby numbers have been fine during peak hours on weekend anyway. there is weird gap where the early evening crowd gives way to the night time crowd

[bright plover]

To be honest I came here mad since I just had a game where one guy was totally silent, the other was silent all the way until we all died where he started shouting something that sounded like eastern slavic language. I'm now playing with much more experienced guys and even if I'm contributing almost nothing, they don't seem to mind and I try to learn their positioning by watching at least.

[lofty sinew]

but after that transition full lobbies

but a lot of them were weird

but.. it's hunt i guess

[mild flower]

by "fine" do you mean more than 6 players?

[mild flower]

FULL?!

OCE? FULL?

[lofty sinew]

mostly full tbh. from about 7.30 > 11.30

4-7 a lot of mostly empty.. you know. a duo and a couple solo kinda thing

[mild flower]

I haven't seen a full oce lobby in 38 years

[lofty sinew]

haha. rip. they happen i reckon, but mostly after dinner toward midnight

and weekends

weekdays gets weird pretty early into even a new event

[mild flower]

friday nights are always good

[lofty sinew]

you still recognise a lot of the same names in these "full" lobbies to be fair

[mild flower]

The majority of players I find in Oce servers are actually like wasteland looters, just going into the abandoned ruins of oce servers to grind levels and hdollars

[lofty sinew]

haha. it depends on the lobby. had some rootin' tootin mid-bracket ones and a handful of really sweaty 6mostly ones. those ^^ dudes are definitely there though

a lot of those "if you are the first team to make noise and do anything the rest of the lobby rolls up to gangbang you" feels though

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/bwafi.gif

found footage of oce grinder

[lofty sinew]

i think i recognise that guy

[mild flower]

those lobbies are nice, more enjoyable than "if you are the first team to make noise the rest of the lobby gets scared off and extracts"

i might have to try oce again if it's better right now though, i have been mostly doing asia recently

[lofty sinew]

yeah those are pretty regular

[mild flower]

so often i think it's an empty server then i go match details and see there were a couple other teams but they just left without a trace

[lofty sinew]

peak times only really. oce is still oce

yeah. i never believe it's actually empty

[astral moss]

I think i can't even play in oce cause i got 600 latency.

[mild flower]

have you encountered those weird players who go in and start the boss banish, then just leave with no trace? are they completing a banish challenge or something?

[lofty sinew]

sometimes it kind of is but often you just got teams jorkin it out there in the forest somewhere doing god knows what

haha yeah

[mild flower]

come over anyway, boost our player count plz

[lofty sinew]

that is a semi regular. thing. where did they go?

[mild flower]

no traps, no nothing

[lofty sinew]

it's wild then they don't even trap or anything. they just kill boss and boogie

[mild flower]

exactly

[astral moss]

No player.

[lofty sinew]

you end up lookin around a bit kind of expecting to get a haircut or something, but.. nope

[mild flower]

so who banished the boss

[lofty sinew]

they gawn

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/dU72xangeqX.gif

^ this game is the average oce lobby

not sure if anyone will understand that reference but just in case

[astral moss]

He didn't got banish.

[lofty sinew]

thing is, y'see, you check the post lobby screen

and there were people there

doing.. weird.. quiet things.. that don't involve trying to engage in pvp

[mild flower]

easter egg hunting lol

[lofty sinew]

yeah idk. it's legit spooky sometimes. i prefer a good honest sudden bullet in the face mostly

[mild flower]

it's genuinely freaky sometimes, like they're ghosts or something. you think or hope you hear someone, but there is never any sign.

[mild flower]

no way we keep saying the same thing in different words at the same time

[lofty sinew]

haha. well. oce lobbies are deffs.. a certain way i guess 😛

[mild flower]

in every multiplayer game, there's a certain level of spookiness to dead servers

backrooms kind of horror
something about being all alone in a place you shouldn't be

[strong moon]

we need an ambrose bierce tribute skin in Hunt

"The Writer" legendary hunter

[astral moss]

We need a real halloween skin.

[lofty sinew]

yeah it's worse when you have them killing bosses and not hanging around to pick up bounties.. or you know.. post up in a good spot to take a plink or.. something?

[astral moss]

Or anoher melee weapon.

[lofty sinew]

makes the back of your head start to prickle :I

[astral moss]

How much time till we got a new melee weapon ?
I think the last one was the katana.

[strong moon]

i would like them to put the lore back in the game properly

and add a world collectible item (book pages?) that adds segments to it

[astral moss]

A melee weapon would be better lol

[strong moon]

world pickaxes

and also

[mild flower]

it'll be so hard to make a new melee weapon that doesn't fill the same niche as all the other ones.. there's only so many unique stat sets and usecases you can have with melees.

[lofty sinew]

well, see, we gotta stop confusing crytek or they'll just scarce a couple of other random ammo types instead

[strong moon]

hunting javelins

[mild flower]

unless it's something gimmicky like bomb lance @astral moss

[strong moon]

rotjaw juice spear

[astral moss]

yeah a bloodborne inspired weapon could be cool.

But they can add some realistic one, like a whip.

[strong moon]

a bullwhip would be sweet

[lofty sinew]

a whip would be kinda funny, though i can only imagine the animation for it looking super awks

[astral moss]

Yeah, like imagine a melee that have 10m range but doesn't one shot.

[deft panther]

NGL, i wouldnt trust gamers around whips at all

[astral moss]

A mid range melee.

[mild flower]

it make a loud whip crack? can you use it while sprinting?

[astral moss]

Yeah something like that.

[deft panther]

gamer + whip weapon sounds like a combination for a real shit show of stuff happening

[mild flower]

this

[astral moss]

Why ?

[swift elk]

you new to the internet?

[mild flower]

ask your mother [don't]

[astral moss]

I think i didn't have the ref.

[swift elk]

brother.

[mild flower]

"toxic" behaviour would occur to put it lightly

[strong moon]

also, each of the bosses (scrapbeak already does this I guess) should drop a world pick up weapon unique to them

[astral moss]

i mean, a middle range melee weapon doesn't look that unblanced to me, if it doesn't one shot.

[strong moon]

because killing someone with the butcher's cleaver would be a fun flex

[lofty sinew]

haha. do i just have no imagination. how do people manage to be toxic with a whip

[strong moon]

they can have the same stats as like, the axe

but being able to hit someone with a spider leg or whatever

that'd be fun

[deft panther]

i already hear enough people screaming slurs to me in VOIP, i dont think a WHIP weapon in a game set in the 1800's is going to go down well-

[strong moon]

oh shit you're right

i didn't think about that

[mild flower]

we should probably stop talking about that in case mods get unhappy

[swift elk]

crazy how this has to be explained

[lofty sinew]

apparently i'm just a sweet summer child i guess

[astral moss]

i don't really have another idea for a new melee weapon that isn't a copy of the one we already got.

[mild flower]

we would need something gimmicky like bomb lance

[strong moon]

rotjaw juice

[mild flower]

something with a secondary function

[strong moon]

they gave it a keyword "arc bloom" we could have "zapped" as a new status effect

[astral moss]

or i don't know how to say it in english so i will in french a "fléau d'arme".

Like a spike balls with a chain.

[mild flower]

or something that shoots burning oil maybe
rotjaw juice could also be a secondary ammo type for that

[lofty sinew]

ooh a flail

[mild flower]

flail

[lofty sinew]

so you can get all medievil on people

would be pretty fun

[mild flower]

that could be cool

[astral moss]

like that thing.

[strong moon]

flamethrower

[lofty sinew]

idk how it works. do you run around swinging it ready for a heavy swing? womp

[mild flower]

terminus db levering.

we have a flamethrower

[astral moss]

idk like a fast fire rate, cause you don't really swing with this weapon.

Or yeah a whip, i don't have the ref of your "toxic" thing but it look like a good idea for a weapon in hunt.

[mild flower]

maybe it works sort of like a throwing tool: attacking normally does short range swings or thrusts, but holding right click spins it and gets it in a "throw" state like the throwing tools. then you can send it out for a more ranged attack and pull it back if you attack in the throw state

[astral moss]

Nah you don't throw that, its a different weapon.

[mild flower]

i don't mean literally throw, but i see now you seem to be talking about those short flails

i thought you meant something more like this. one that you can fling out at range because of the length of the chain

[astral moss]

i mean, it can be as big as you want, like even have more range than a bomb lance if its a big stick with a flail.

[lofty sinew]

i think with a long chain it becomes a completely different weapon like what gogo yubari uses in kill bill

[mild flower]

i just feel like if it's a short one without the ability to fling out at range it will be identical to baseball bat

[astral moss]

or make it a 360 damage range around your hunter.

[mild flower]

would be pretty useless in hunt imo

when would you need that instead of just looking at the enemy to hit them

[astral moss]

depend the range lol, imagine you wipe a trio with one swing.

5m around your hunter, could be fun.

[mild flower]

that would be useful, would need a good audio cue, but a chain would sound quite discernable

[astral moss]

Or maybe less range than the katana, would be a bit too broken.

[inland jewel]

Anyone know if we'll ever see the saw launcher back? It fit the thematics for this game so damn well, I'd love to get it permanently (with some nerfs, obviously)

[astral moss]

Never !!!!

[inland jewel]

So confident.

[lofty sinew]

be surprised if we never saw it back again in some form i guess

[inland jewel]

I mean its up there with the Bomb Lance, its so aesthetic to the Hunt theme

[astral moss]

Yeah but was way too broken.

[lofty sinew]

have faith. crytek knows how to nerf things into uselessness

[polar ridge]

Plz no mediaeval flail. Cowboy whip is what Crytek could maybe squeeze in but definitely not lethal.

[inland jewel]

I mean thats exactly why I explicitly said "with some nerfs, obviously". Because I agree, wholeheartedly

[astral moss]

If they delete 80% of the weapon maybe.

[inland jewel]

Make the explosive saws scarce, remove the homing effect, keep the ricochet, and reduce the mag size to 5 instead of 10, its perfect

[lofty sinew]

who knows. mnybe it remains decent but just gets added to the scarce weapon pool

[astral moss]

No no, don't keep the ricochet.

[inland jewel]

I mean thats part of the weapon's identity, you gotta keep that.

[astral moss]

Must be most stupid mecanic that ever be in this game, after the rez bolt.

[spring mauve]

it fit the goofiness of the circus tho

but yeah maybe not keep that outside of that specific event idk tho

[inland jewel]

You've been playing since day one I'm guessing

[outer cloak]

To the dude that was mad I used the word sped and messaged me mad bc I didn't get muted/banned. You're right. My apologies to the devs I insulted. I may not always agree but y'all genuinely do try with hunt. @outer iron was the true sped

[astral moss]

i don't but getting headshot one shot cause someone is spamming a window of the bosslair i am in must be one of the stupidest thing.

[inland jewel]

Maybe just limit it to a single ricochet, instead of bouncing 8-10 times before sticking.

There are compromises

[astral moss]

Would be stupid in bosslair anyway.

Make it like a crossbow with big fire rate.

Would be strong but not broken if you don't have 600 bullet in the mag.

[inland jewel]

I mean we already have the Chu Ko Nu. Thats already a crossbow with fast firerate. The ricochet of the saws makes it a different weapon. 5 in the mag is just fine. The 10 was too much.

[astral moss]

Chu ko nu didn't exist, idk what you are talking about.

[astral moss]

Yeah but ricochet wont be balance.

[inland jewel]

I mean hell, the Nitro still isn't balanced imho. There are gaps in various places, I don't see it being a bigger problem than some other balancing issues already present

[astral moss]

Yeah nitro is too weak we know.

[outer cloak]

Has anyone played forever winter?, and if so is it pvp and pve or exclusively pve? I literally cannot find an answer

[astral moss]

But the bullet of the nitro didn't ricochet around the compound to head shot you.

[outer cloak]

And if pve only is there coop? I've seen some people say it is and some say not

I don't really.. understand what it is besides looter shooter

[inland jewel]

Opposite, imho

[inland jewel]

Okay, there's your compromise. Ricochets cannot headshot.

[astral moss]

Nitro isn't a strong weapon lol

[random nimbus]

Bad takes go brrrrrr

I get you want it buffed, but c'mon

[astral moss]

Like yeah it one shot, but you have like 6 bullet, and aiming past 40m is horrible.

[mild flower]

nitro is a strong weapon but not overpowered imo

[swift elk]

love paying 1000+ for a shotgun that disappoints

[astral moss]

Not necessarily a buff, just remove the aperture so its not annoying to play the weapon.

[random nimbus]

Nice bait

[mild flower]

ok that's too much, the aperture is the downside of the weapon

[astral moss]

Exactly, i would prefer playing Rival than this thing.

[mild flower]

that's like saying remove the krag's 124 dama- oh wait.

[urban steppe]

Slimed out these two guys hiding in davant ranch trying to 3rd party us LOL

Hit both with my flechette spectre and finished the job with a big dynamite bundle toss 😼

God bless crytek for making those FREE to loot

[astral moss]

With the insane sway + the random shot if you don't aim.

[urban steppe]

one of them was running the Chudclone, it was deserved

[mild flower]

pretty sure the sway is normal? and wdym random shot if you don't aim, are you referring to hipfire?

[astral moss]

Like its hard to aim with it and its unusable at close range if you don't crouch and stay immobile.

[swift elk]

vulture op + dark tribute was nice today

[astral moss]

Yes the hipfire.

[mild flower]

that is not true, it is useable at close range without crouching and staying immobile. it's a quick scope weapon

it's hard to use consistently

but high reward

[swift elk]

avto better just close your eyes and spray = win

no need for the elephant gun

[astral moss]

• You miss you actually cry irl.

[mild flower]

need recoil control

[swift elk]

pulling down while aiming aint that hard
