[distant atlas]

no arrow

[dense sleet]

people just hate when popular things enter their niche

[distant atlas]

literally unplayable

[distant atlas]

I got seven sights from my drops

get fucked everyone

[rain nymph]

Like i said weak is silver and upgraded is gold, i mean or a glitch

[dense sleet]

Council Verdict leagues better

[dense sleet]

its just a UI oversight i think

bc it IS a regular vit, just missing the arrow indicator

[distant atlas]

have that too but i only got it cause i didn't have ss

[rain nymph]

If it is this CANNOT STAND

[dense sleet]

there are worse UI things to be concerned about

[distant atlas]

yeah the golden one is the one in the pic

no i think we should all spam crytek about this

make it the next big thing

[rain nymph]

Worse!? How will i know which is weak and which is upgraded... that is life and death!

[dense sleet]

Vitality Shot (Weak)

[hasty wharf]

need the symbols to be accurate cause hunt player literacy rate is pretty low

[dense sleet]

i get the meme, but people WILL take it wayyy too far lol

[rain nymph]

How dare you! I cannot read!

[dense sleet]

point proven ^

[rain nymph]

Lol

[distant atlas]

it would be funny if it healed less

[dense sleet]

does 1HP

i would love a pebble consumable you can loot sometimes that you can chuck at someone for 20 damage and causes light bleeding

i mean, i guess thats just the chaos except a pebble sounds better

[rain nymph]

Hunt taketh part of my brain...

[distant atlas]

inb4 someone suggests a slingshot (again)

[dense sleet]

oh i wasnt

give me a legit pebble with a tknive animtion to throw it

i wonder how much i can drink tonight, lets give it a go tonight lol

[distant atlas]

so you want to do 20 damage and bleeding

[dense sleet]

literally a better chaos xD

[distant atlas]

brother the silenced nagant with dumdums is right there

[dense sleet]

that shit with fanning is no joke bro

[distant atlas]

i mean decoys exist

dont do bleed tho :(

[rain nymph]

Gatling gun would be fun

[dense sleet]

can i reach more teams wiped than bosses killed tonight xD

[distant atlas]

yes

you just have to believe

or play clash idk

[dense sleet]

i dont think it'd be that hard

[rose kite]

The more I see why people play solo more I see why they don’t like to team up with randoms, I can’t say I don’t blame them

[distant atlas]

you can't say you don't blame them

so you do blame them

[rose kite]

Nah I really don’t blame them for playing solo they don’t got time for people to slow them down

Maybe that what I need to start doing tbh

[floral aurora]

anyone else having server issues?

[rose kite]

Yea my last match was laggy like hell, took like 3 mins to just move one spot.

[fleet adder]

Atlatl

[distant atlas]

what

[fleet adder]

Atlatl

[distant atlas]

oh okay

[rose kite]

If they can add stalker beetle, it wouldn’t surprise me if they added slingshot or marksman version of nitro express

[fleet adder]

[left orbit]

so i tried the demo of Cronos
had to shut it down after 23 minutes because something fell on the floor for no fkin reason and doors close themselves for no fkin reason and i was on my way to IRL permadeath

BUT

the slow movement and even slower movement when aming felt so smooth i want it in hunt

cwytek pwease

[frank sinew]

Is anyone else experiencing rubber banding, teleporting and disconnects on US East servers lately. Seems especially bad right now.

[floral aurora]

yeah

horrible last game

[left orbit]

it’s a recurring topic across all regions

[remote moss]

criiiiiip

[left orbit]

crytek is fully aware but they continue employing the same hosting

[floral aurora]

last team we went against were 0 stats accross the board too for some reason

[wintry ferry]

Sometimes I'd hear my mate wipe a trio by himself and he's saying he just caught some idiots crouchwalking

[solar scaffold]

Question…..what are the chances of me getting jumped if I started the game yesterday?

[wintry ferry]

then we look at post-game and it's a stacked 6* match MMR team

like wtf is going on these days

[thin fable]

what do you mean jumped

[solar scaffold]

Uhhhh I got hunted down be some people my last game and I’m not sure if that’s normal

[thin fable]

you will probably die lots

oh yeah people like to chase

its like the most dangerous game out there

[solar scaffold]

It was horrific

[thin fable]

You're Ice T and they're Gary Busey

[thin fable]

yeah the best thing you can do is try to lose them but it happens, its the nature of the game

I'll usually try to lose them and if that doesnt work I'll go down fighting

[solar scaffold]

I thought the monsters were spooky….little did I know

[thin fable]

nothing is scarier than not hearing players for the longest time and then randomly getting shot or shot at and you can tell from where

you get the hang of it though you'll still probably die lots unless you can lose them or take down the team

[rose kite]

I’ll be damn, 8 kills in a solo just now

[solar scaffold]

Congrats

[thin fable]

I think Ive only managed that many once and even then I wasnt truly solo, just my team was down during the entire shooter

[rose kite]

I usually average more kills solo than I do with a team, how ever if me or one of my usual hunt partners get together, we usually average about 6 or 9 all together

[granite blade]

guys i got an inspect animation for a horrible weapon as my last twitch drop, can i request a reroll

[fleet adder]

Wat weapon

[granite blade]

railroad hammer, one of the worst

[fleet adder]

[granite blade]

either we better be getting some good change to weapon slot melees or whoever came up with the idea to give an inspect anim and skin to one of the worst choices in the entire game was smokin some shit that i need to get my hands on

[fleet adder]

This is bait

😤

[elfin kraken]

why does it take 10 years to find a match?

[fleet adder]

Guessing by your name. Region.

[granite blade]

its not active hours

[granite blade]

he has na east as region

[fleet adder]

O

Didn't even check

[elfin kraken]

what if i switch regions?

[granite blade]

im not sure if any regions are active at this time tbh

[elfin kraken]

when is it active?

[fleet adder]

I never have issues finding matches on nae or naw at like any hour of the night

[granite blade]

2:00pm EST, some time around this time

[elfin kraken]

well damn

[fleet adder]

Like I get home from work 10:30pmish EST and play all night some nights

[elfin kraken]

did u change some settings or something?

[granite blade]

me neither but maybe hes in just one of those grey area mmr spots where it cant really find anyone to match him against

[fleet adder]

Nuhuh

I do have the benefit of being the highest MMR of my group of people I play with for the most part

So a lot of times we aren't in full 6 star lobbies. It's a mix of 5 and 6

[granite blade]

if i do randoms its usually full 6 and usually i have to do randoms because my duo broke up with hunt for arena breakout

[alpine mortar]

Ofc my game crashes when someone uses a chariot card so the Lebel bush camper caught up to me and killed me when i reconnected sad times

[fleet adder]

Yea randoms I'm for sure getting thrown into 6

Or with 2 of my friends who are also pretty deep into 6

[granite blade]

when they do a survey asking about cards just be sure to join us on putting chariot as far down negative as possible

[fleet adder]

But the majority of my friends are 4 or 5 star

[fleet adder]

We don't like chariot?

[granite blade]

i dont have friends

[alpine mortar]

I wouldnt have minded if crytek didnt decide then and there to crash my game so i couldnt even shoot the damn bastard

[granite blade]

no, too many people have been using it to just kite at 150m and then they move to the closest locked extract to the one you are running to and use chariot so you are either forced to go extremely out of your way or push towards them at a disadvantage with no scan

its such a troll/coward card

when i come back in like a week, im planning on taking one in as many times as possible just to reverse uno them after waiting the 5mins

and when im out of them, ill start playing rifles instead of shotguns(or glorified shotguns) and play like im on the eu server just as a good 🖕 to them

that card allows people to delay actually playing the game and in such a troll way

anyway yea, most people seemingly share the same base idea; we dont like that card.

[dense sleet]

i dont find it terribly annoying tbh

its the most influencial for surew

[atomic coral]

It's also good to use it yourself to unlock the extract nearest to you instead of being forced to cross the map

[granite blade]

glide and i had it happen 2 matches in a row where the last team had 0 participation in anything because they knew they could just wait until the last team standing went to leave with the bounty after not seeing anyone in scan

thats when i had enough

[granite blade]

yes that is the way it should be used

unfortunately people like to abuse good things which is why we cant have good things

[dense sleet]

i mean thats just hunt shenanigans

[granite blade]

its like removing jumping from a game because people found ways to exploit it in ways that broke game balance. however theres a small community that likes jumping because of parkour and freedom of movement. the only different is that there isnt much way to fix chariot except make it open all extracts.

[dense sleet]

ive had a couple games where we got fucked by the card, but it was more so "oh alright fair enough" rather than "fuck this game"

in the reverse, had the same thing but with ME using the card

i dont personally think its that serious

each their own tho

[granite blade]

the only time ive ever used the card in that way is when we get caught fighting multiple teams and the bounty team only has to fight one or none and gets to leave easy, which is fair imo

[dense sleet]

none of the tarot cards imo really do anything insane, Empress/Garden/ and Chariot are imo the strongest ones and still kinda situational

[empty eagle]

IMO if you're in the extraction and the timer is clicking, you should still be able to extract

otherwise its fair game

[dense sleet]

my first game of hte event i used a chariot card after the bounty t eam was in the wagon, i counted to 20 and then used it

[granite blade]

then they just activate it right before the lightning gets there

[empty eagle]

but had that happen- we werent being chased and were extracting and had it pulled

[granite blade]

doesnt change anything

[dense sleet]

we rolled up 15 seconds later and instantly wiped em

[granite blade]

chariot should just open all extracts

[empty eagle]

shrug make a range for it to work? not sure how it would balance things tho

i think it adds a good element of stopping extract sprints

but

yeah, can be used to troll

[alpine mortar]

Is it off peak hours or something lately have been getting 5 and 6 stars in my 3 star lobbies im not that good to be going against sweats lol

[empty eagle]

tbf is halloween

but not off hours for USE

[granite blade]

could make it open any extracts within a certain range sure, but unless they make the range something like 75m(instinct), then nah it shouldnt close extracts

[thin fable]

also I think Arc Raiders might be impacting numbers just because its a new game somewhat similar to hunt

[alpine mortar]

I think more people would be using the pumpinhead skins today XD

[dense sleet]

its 10PM nae and a holiday, people are most likely partying

[dense sleet]

they are far from the same game

[granite blade]

its definitely non-peak hours

[thin fable]

I didnt say same

I said similar

pvpve extraction

[granite blade]

still hunt holding onto 26k peak is kinda crazy when you consider we were down to 17k peak not too terribly long ago

[dense sleet]

But hunt dead bro

[granite blade]

its funny how much people complain about how often events are but that is when we get the highest numbers :v

[atomic coral]

Or just swap nearest

[young horizon]

its a problem because without hunts events the game dies.

[fleet adder]

ye i guess thats fair

i just like using it when team triesd to leave with bounty before the server even makes it to them

[young horizon]

Its a good problem to have for crytek tho, cuz that means we will have content flowing until the devs get tired of updating the game.

[atomic coral]

Comon Crytek, you were so close to perfection XD

[granite blade]

or remove the card in general and add a mechanic where there is a lever near the middle of the map that you can spend 2 or 3 kill tokens on to swap all the extracts. kill tokens are only obtainable in game and are removed after extract/death and are obtainable from looting bodies but the token can only be picked up once by the first team that loots(the team shares the picked up token).

this would add more value to burning bodies when done with fights and also(nvm, doesnt increase burning value since you would just take the tokens making it where others cant follow behind asnd also get them) discourages the people that load in solo just to rat loot everything but also discourges insta burning since you may not get enough tokens to cl;ose the extract the free bounty team is running towards.

[wicked yacht]

I haven’t played Hunt since the Post Malone event, the chariot card is the best of the tarot mechanic run imo

[granite blade]

it literally just discourages 2 horrible playstyles

[mild flower]

event frequency would be fine if they would stop adding back the 4-shot boons and event ammo boxes

[marble lichen]

?

[marsh marlin]

hey guys, which button to leave the beetle perspective without blowing it up?

[quasi bridge]

That’s a good question personally I just panic and press every single button on my keyboard until it works

[marsh marlin]

did u figure it out?

[tame magnet]

E

[mild flower]

js wiped a clash with a free hunter

[tame magnet]

E

[marsh marlin]

thank u

[mild flower]

[it's because she had bow, very balanced weapon]

[full jungle]

It is

Honestly is

[mild flower]

🐟

[hexed valve]

Really?

All random items i got by far are shit

SHIT

ty crytek

[hazy crest]

Better than a machete skin

[granite blade]

we got same

what all random skins did you get so far?

[hexed valve]

I dont have machete skin atleast

And i like it

[hexed valve]

I dont remember imagine how shit they are😂

[granite blade]

i got obrez drum, martini, poison tripmine, and crossbow

[hazy crest]

Reaper’s arm for the knife and jack o diamonds for the crossbow

I have far better skins for both weapons

[hexed valve]

Ah yeah i got crossbow too, obrez drum is cool i with i had it

[granite blade]

oh we both got the crossbow too :v

alot of people are getting that crossbow and poison tripmines it seems... i feel like these drops have weighted chances

[hexed valve]

RANDOM

random my ass crytek

[fathom shale]

I'm not even getting anything from 3 of the random item drops even though I'm missing like 30 BB skins and I doubt all of them are excluded from the list

Probably gonna ask CS to double check next week

[hexed valve]

So if u have all skins u dont get anything?

[fathom shale]

You get hunt dollars

[hexed valve]

Pff

[mild flower]

are these from twitch drops

[hexed valve]

Yeah

I really liked to get some lebel skin

Whatever

[mild flower]

how do you get the twitch drops im really unfamiliar with how they work

[scarlet plinth]

Too much Hunt Showdown

[icy elbow]

link your twitch account and Steam account, watch twitch for people who have drops on, claim rewards on twitch, open game

[outer iron]

My teammates are dynamite magnets.

[granite blade]

non-dauntless havers more like

[whole mist]

^ yea dont play game while watching, otherwise youll have to close and restart your game (which people forget about and get confused)

[outer iron]

No. Dynamite magnets. I think I've died to dynamite once in the last two months. I don't even know what I can do to make them not die to it.

[granite blade]

tell them in lobby to bring dauntless

[outer iron]

They won't.

[granite blade]

then they die to dynamite

nothing can be done

[ocean osprey]

I hope you guys are excited about that mozin skin hope its worth all that

[granite blade]

yea... VERY excited... uhuh... definitely

[chrome stratus]

Me who uses neither guns and simply picked the hunter I liked more

[ocean osprey]

I cant even get mad about that response

[hazy crest]

I’m fine with people that play like that but pissed at crytek for the clearly biased skin selection for each team

[chrome stratus]

That's fair

[granite blade]

think about it though

an old reskin that the original is pretty cheap

empty cairn is like 400 or 500bbs

or a new skin for a weapon that many have voiced wanting a skin for and there is no previous price to have to stay around

we will either get the reskin empty cairn for very cheap or free

and we will have to buy the new berthier skin at 1-1.5k bbs

its a busniness move

[mild flower]

bah too complicated

[mild flower]

it's a hunt giveth kind of day

69 monsters killed, nice

[outer iron]

Hate when it matches us up with the craziest crackshots.

[hazy crest]

Yeah. Got headshot 3 times by the same 4 star yesterday. If he were a 6 star fine but cmon man why’d I have to be fighting this guy on the one day of the week he hits his shots

[little widget]

real

[dusky spoke]

the correct way to use dark satchels xD

[royal cloak]

🎃

[umbral laurel]

is anybody getting packet loss or lag?

[scarlet plinth]

Specter fire breath rounds…in this economy

[mild flower]

what makes you think it's one day of the week? MMR is not a reflection of how much you hit your shots

[granite blade]

i think one day a week is my average and im 6

so who else is actually going to run the railroad hammer when the skin drops eh?

marathon railroad hammer, poor rp engaged

[mild flower]

naw, nagant revolver railroad hammer

[granite blade]

the problem with that is that i like to be efficient, if i can fit a minimum mid-range 3 slot with my close range 1 slot then thats what imma do

i want to poor rp

not handicap rp

[hazy crest]

Marathon railroad hammer is my headcannon for what butcher’s cleaver uses

[granite blade]

ill be using it with whatever random drop hunter i get

[inland ore]

scotfield swift is lowkey op with fanning

why didnt i discover it earlier

[desert acorn]

I have a guy who's level 42... second tier. Been afraid to play him and max him out. He has a match, and a terminus with levering. Been successful with it in 3 matches so far.\

[hazy crest]

Don’t worry you’ll be fighting 3 trios with mosin snipers than don’t let you get within 100 meters

[inland ore]

snipers were a mistake in hunt

i hate those guys who wont move and snipe from a bush

[desert acorn]

I consider bushwookies hazards, rather than players

I love that they're in hunt. They're also annoying as hell. Unless I'm the bushwookie, and then it's totally justified.

[granite blade]

then just say this. hate the player, not the weapon.

[hazy crest]

You can hate Maynard silenced

That’s justified

[turbid dock]

thats the opposite of what you should do, what

the game should be designed to discourage playstyles that are deemed unhealthy

and that includes deciding what weapons are capable of

[desert acorn]

I had a max mmr camp on Rotjaw yesterday. He had no business in our lobby. I don't do that nonsense, He picked off my friend... it was literally his first game. He never gave up his position, so I left and returned, in WAY more time than he needed to kill rotjaw. Shot and missed at him with my sniper, and he thought he'd circle around. I won the game of cat and mouse, finally.

[inland ore]

well I am happy that i got a crown and king from the guy i tapped with scotfield

[desert acorn]

Nice trade up

[granite blade]

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

[desert acorn]

Terminus with levering... still buck? Or can I make Flechette or DB work?

Bear in mind, I'm not a caffeinated teen freebasing pixie sticks.

[granite blade]

anything can work

[hazy crest]

Slugs and levering don’t work

[granite blade]

it can

just have to be lucky

[desert acorn]

the spread is nuts

[granite blade]

doesnt mean luck cant solve that problem

[desert acorn]

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all.

[hazy crest]

I really dislike rng heavy weapons

[granite blade]

i agree

[desert acorn]

My first Hunt win came from dual sparks pistols. Haven't landed a shot with that loadout since. Always the rng failed me. Gave it up.

[hazy crest]

Most of the time I hit nothing and when I hit something it doesn’t feel earned

[outer iron]

Explodes into blood. Doesn't die. Love hunt.

[granite blade]

he brought up DB and flechette knowing neither are meta and asked "can" either work... so i gave an appropriate response

[desert acorn]

stab isn't guaranteed kill

[outer iron]

The game didn't even register damage.

[desert acorn]

penny derringer hard counters melee. Or it did before the buff. Not sure if it still does.

[short halo]

blood just means the hit was registered on client side
no hitmarker means it wasnt validated server side

[outer iron]

Ping gauranteed my death here, alas. But people will continue to say high ping is "an advantage."

[dusky pewter]

are hunt servers buggin?

[outer iron]

😔

[granite blade]

whats your ping?

[hazy crest]

Your hit got deregistered thanks to all the people whining about trades

[outer iron]

Hell yeah.

[outer iron]

Between 70 to 110. Ups and downs.

[granite blade]

yea you probably spiked to a high end in the moment you were about to hit him

so the server detected you were dead before you hit and didnt count it

[outer iron]

I had a penninger as well. I just didn't think he would be able to swap so quick after throwing dynamite.

[short halo]

trade window is only 75ms now

[granite blade]

yea so anything over 75 ping can result in this

[covert gate]

Game is bugged on console, matches for clash are nothing but laggy and you can’t move

[granite blade]

i think trades are fine in hunt but ping trades are kinda meh... but i also play on 13-25(max) ping

[desert acorn]

Trades are very near impossible in BF6. A game where half your time is spent dying. It's imbecilic.

[umbral laurel]

is anybody getting packet loss or lag?

[granite blade]

hitscan?

[desert acorn]

Whoever gets the kill first, the other guy's projectile is rendered inert. Even rockets... which is hilarious.

[granite blade]

hitscan/near hitscan should in theory have no/little trades at all

[granite blade]

thats just stupid game design imo

[desert acorn]

Definitely.

Battlefield 6 in many ways is like a battlefield irl... but there are zero consequences for your actions. I always walk away annoyed.

In Hunt, I grieve after a bad match, or a match that simply resolves badly. Then I dust myself off and move on. In Battlefield 6, I never feel that... instead, I just gradually get irritated as people spot me in total concealment because all you gotta do is click your ping button to highlight anyone near your reticle for the entire map.

These are the only two fps's I've played in years. So utterly different it's nuts. But my good friend prefers BF

[ancient cave]

I loved bf1 on xbox when I played on there. hunt was the big game I switched to pc for

[granite blade]

some prefer the safety net of knowing that if they shot just a little bit faster then they could have invalidated their hit instead

[ancient cave]

it feels impossible for me to play on the xbox now

my console exists solely to let me play souls games

[granite blade]

in hunt you usually gotta shoot quite a bit faster to not trade shots and imo i like that it pushes you so hard

which is why wallbangs were peak

smh

the ability to accurately hit your target behind the wall with more precision than they can hit you is crazy good imo

but no crytek doesnt like that

[inland ore]

me who is playing with 80-100 ping always

they dont have a SEA server

after all these years

[granite blade]

to be fair, they can barely support the current servers in recent months

[inland ore]

is the company going bankrupt

[granite blade]

nah they just use a horrible server host

it'd probably take alot of work to fix and tbh they could already be working on it and its just taking a long time

[hazy crest]

Well they are struggling as well

[granite blade]

they are struggling but i wouldnt say going bankrupt

[hazy crest]

They laid off almost half their employees and cancelled all their other projects aside from hunt

[inland ore]

they could sell the company

to idk, rockstar

[granite blade]

and have p2w microtransactions shoved down our throats? nah, i'd prefer them to just announce the end of the live service. end on a good note.

[inland ore]

Crysis 4 isnt happening ig

[desert acorn]

I have fewer server problems with Hunt than with most other games

[inland ore]

agree

i would hate to see it die tho

[desert acorn]

I would have rather Blizzard died before Activision bought them.

[inland ore]

i come back to hunt from time to timw

[granite blade]

it would suck but it would suck even worse to see it get turned to shit first

[desert acorn]

Well, they've been doing a good job maintaining the game in the year I've been playing.

[inland ore]

maybe they are working on the engine

[desert acorn]

When they moved engines, they definitely had to work on it quite a bit. But I've never played a game of this scope that was less broken, or better supported.

People often talk about the early days... some people lament that things are "different" now. Explosives, and such.

More high RoF weapons. less in game conversations

[inland ore]

the game is just too heavy on my cpu...apart from that it feels p optimized for how it looks

[desert acorn]

Ah. CPU is my next upgrade... which means mother board and RAM, too... not looking forward to it.

Got a 5700x3d. Plays the game great on high or very high or something.

1440, 120 fps

[inland ore]

I am always at 100% cpu usage....80-100fps at 1080p....i5 10400

[desert acorn]

I play Hunt for a vacation. I feel like I actually go to the bayou. The graphics and sound are so immersive.

Which CPU?

oh.... i5

[inland ore]

I just crank the settings to max mostly

cause it doesnt make a difference for me

the cpu is always bottlenecked

even at the lowest settings

[granite blade]

im gpu limited :v

[inland ore]

At max, at least 90-95% of my gpu is being used

[granite blade]

because 3060ti only has 8gb vram

[inland ore]

6700xt here

kinda similar gpu

not limited by vram tho

[granite blade]

my i5-12600k runs at like 50-60%

[desert acorn]

your cpu is only slightly less powerful than mine.

You might have some kinda settings problem.

[mild flower]

is it just me who wishes there was a seperate "hunters killed" and "hunters downed" stat/post-game card?

i wanna see how many people in total i knocked out of the game

[inland ore]

oh nah, that 3d cache make a night and day difference

[desert acorn]

My 3060ti did fine. 5070 is better, but only since they keep releasing drivers.

Ah. My friend who recommended the cpu kept emphasizing that. But the next gen didn't even offer it.

[granite blade]

i dont look at cards tbh, just the team details

[granite blade]

yea my next upgrade has to be gpu

the main limit

[desert acorn]

This gen GPU is FAR more reasonably priced. AMD finally is competing with Nvidia, so they had to moderate their prices.

[inland ore]

on paper ur cpu may not be much more powerful than mine...but that "x3d" part is a godsend for gaming

[desert acorn]

Why the hell is the 5k series the ONLY one that offers the 3d cache?

[granite blade]

i'd like to upgrade my cpu to something with better single core preformance since GW2(another game i play) is very single core heavy and my cpu struggles with that

[inland ore]

id like to get 9950x3D

but my wallet is empty

[granite blade]

yea that is usually the issue :v

but you know

xbox is getting access to steam and steam games

sooooo

[inland ore]

wait wait wait

really???

[granite blade]

yes

[inland ore]

how much is a xbox these says

days

[granite blade]

probably somewhere around 1k

[scarlet plinth]

2 trades

[granite blade]

y'know, quite a bit cheaper than an up-to-date pc

[scarlet plinth]

Satisfaction

[desert acorn]

Ah... I found them. They're not on benchmark sites. Didn't realize they actually existed.

[granite blade]

oh it'll have battle net and epic games as well

give it like 10 or so more years and pc for the common man is only gonna be for indie games

[desert acorn]

non portable game consoles are dying.

[mild flower]

why does hornskin cost 3 whole trait points

it's not even worth 1

[desert acorn]

Because you can trade it for 2 points that way.

Nobody takes it on purpose, that I've ever seen.

[mild flower]

fr that's literally its only purpose

[granite blade]

its very strong for new players

[mild flower]

i doubt that

new players struggle with hellhounds and immolators and hives

[desert acorn]

Ah. Getting beat down by hoards of grunts, and an immolator

[mild flower]

not blunt damage

[granite blade]

immos do blunt before they burn you when you stab

[mild flower]

yeah the fire is the part that newbies struggle with

thats when they get redskulled

[granite blade]

yea but then you learn to not stab

[outer iron]

Damn. Spear can also one shot when NOT thrown. Guess I walked into that.

[desert acorn]

oof. PS5 is using a 3600x. Good price for what it is... but sony always sells consoles at a loss. I don't know if PS6 is financially viable.

[granite blade]

but you still arent good enough to stun them with every hit so they still smack you

[ancient cave]

revert spear to how it was on it's launch

some random fucking weeday crytek decided to unleash chaos

[desert acorn]

I think Penninger is not very well-known. Immolator easy mode.

[granite blade]

if sony doesnt follow suit with ms by adding other stores to the platform, they will definitely fall off

[desert acorn]

Yeah. People complain about Nintendo's litigation, but their strategy is always long term.

[granite blade]

nintendo says fuck you to all of the other options by gatekeeping everything, kinda smart ngl

[versed pine]

I hate how awful bayonets feel

[desert acorn]

It's how they've survived over a hundred and 50 years. Their IPs are their own.

[versed pine]

feel hard to hit, then do very little damage

[mild flower]

it definetely is, penninger is pretty meta

[desert acorn]

I mean among new players.

I didn't discover it really until about 250 hours

[granite blade]

and they'll do it for a hundred more because they know it works and it actually does work

[desert acorn]

And people complain about them, but they've only ever sued people who have actively tried to make money off their own stuff. The little guys, I mean. This Palworld thing is more complicated.

[versed pine]

They sued non-profit modders too

[granite blade]

i wont complain about them because what they do is smart

[granite blade]

ez money to fund the next project

[desert acorn]

Non-profit means the company... not the people in it. My non-profit hospital CEO made millions. And a lot of that was crooked money.

[versed pine]

Anyways Nintendo died to me when they made the Switch 2 controllers be absolute trash tier yet again

[mild flower]

didnt nintendo switch have huge stick drift issues

[versed pine]

yes and new controller is just as bad

[mild flower]

bad design or breaks/drifts easily

[versed pine]

the excuse to buy a third party or pro controller is stupid too, the integrated controller shouldn't be ass

[desert acorn]

Pro-controller is among the best I've ever used.

How have they not fixed the drift yet?

[mild flower]

because nintendo

[jk nintendo we love you please dont swat me]

[desert acorn]

My trouble with the whole issue... gamers whine about their litigation... but still buy games from companies that ruin franchises for political reasons. Without getting into specifics. Nintendo still makes good games.

[versed pine]

Doesnt Nintendo also censor their games for political reasons

[desert acorn]

Don't know about that. Haven't seen it.

[versed pine]

I remember all the Pokemon games getting stuff removed throughout the series

[desert acorn]

Censoring a game for political reasons, and completely ruining a franchise, are two differnt things.

Anyone else think Assailant should reduce stamina cost for throwing axe melee?

[versed pine]

I mean, have you seen Z-A, seems like ruining a franchise

Arceus was so much fun too, shame

[desert acorn]

Pokemon isn't their company. They are partial owners, and share in the profits. They don't have creative control.

This became common knowledge when Pokemon Go took off. Their stocks jumped up at first, then leveled off when people found out.

[versed pine]

Pretty sure they are still the producers of the console games though

[desert acorn]

Game Freak does

They're likely the worst company Nintendo works with in that manner, and I don't know why they'd put them in control of their most valuable franchise.

[versed pine]

Yeah credits have Nintendo in the producer section

[desert acorn]

Yeah. Game Freak has always been the developer of Pokemon games. Their quality has deteriorated in the recent decade. I never liked the franchise, so I wasn't concerned.

[light sky]

It is not Game Freak's fault lol

[desert acorn]

Nintendo split from the company awhile back, probably to protect themselves from the bigger fish they compete against. Sony and Microsoft.

[light sky]

Pokémon games budget is pretty short + they have like 2 years to make one

Plus the Engine being old as fuck

[versed pine]

I mean it is and isn't, GameFreak also won't hire new blood or make new engines

[light sky]

So yeah, the real problem is the Pokémon company.

[desert acorn]

Ah

[light sky]

Game Freak is making a new IP game and looks fire

[desert acorn]

I guess Nintendo tolerates it because they sell regardless.

[light sky]

Why? Because the have proper budget, proper Engine, proper time window to make it.

[outer iron]

Slop games. Hope it crashes and burns and they lose every lawsuit.

[desert acorn]

Damn... watched the reveal. Beast of Reincarnation does indeed look pretty cool.

[versed pine]

oh this does look neat

Wait this is literally the story of Wild Hearts

[versed pine]

What, why

Jesus christ why are there so many boosters lol

over 100 when you only need like 20 to keep it healthy

Crytek doesnt even get the money 😢

[ancient cave]

everytime I look at Kevin I just start to laugh cuz I remember he's supposed to be a child

[mild flower]

kevin?

is that the kid?

[ancient cave]

the protagonist of the moon trilogy

[desert acorn]

I was thinking McAllister.

Alright... going in with my level 42, tier 2 hunter. Really hoping to max him. I love the tier 3 skin. Whitman, I think...

[mild flower]

what are the best secondaries for wildland

[outer iron]

Okay, Hunt. I see how it is.

[mild flower]

whats the issue here?

[outer iron]

They were my entire crosshair and it didn't hit.

[mild flower]

no they werent

watch your own clip frame by frame

[outer iron]

Yeah they were.

Don't worry, I did.

[mild flower]

you shot too far up and to the right.

it went over their left shoulder

sure maybe there is a frame missing in the recording, but i doubt you randomly changed the right flick you were doing to adjust to the left on that frame, then immediately aim right again as your recoil started.

[elfin kraken]

guys i need a loadout suggestion

[outer iron]

That's the direction they were actively moving. Should have been a hit. But that's how hunt be.

[elfin kraken]

whats the best primary currently

[mild flower]

you are overestimating how much you need to lead in this game

at point blank

[elfin kraken]

currently what im running

[mild flower]

mosin nagant always has been

[mild flower]

@outer iron also because this framerate is lower than what actually happened, and you were actively doing a right flick, your aim was actually further to the right than this frame in the instant you shot

[elfin kraken]

which ammo?

[mild flower]

regular. spitzer if you're a headtapping machine or a sniper

this is just the meta though. not necessarily for everyone.

[elfin kraken]

not incendiary?

[mild flower]

you can if you want, but if you're looking for the objectively "best"/meta primary right now, definetely not.

[hazy crest]

Anything that makes you not able to wall bang is objectively bad

Fun

But bad

[mild flower]

dumdum

[hazy crest]

fmj is always the best choice if you can lead

[mild flower]

not on long ammo

[elfin kraken]

im not that good at the game so basic ammo probably right?

[mild flower]

probably yea

if youre not that good though, consider if you can even afford to run mosin consistently @elfin kraken

[ancient cave]

this bug with the spiders and jumping is quite something

[elfin kraken]

i have 7k

whats a good secondary?

[mild flower]

yeah you are running a bit low, if you drop under 5k i'd recommend running cheaper weapons

[elfin kraken]

alright

[mild flower]

secondary is much more subjective, seeing as the current meta is to run quartermaster anyway

although dolch would be considered the best out of the one-slot weapons. lemat is great if you wanna keep up with the shotgun meta but dont want to get quartermaster.

[elfin kraken]

i need to save up for quarter master

and hopefully not die

asi just spent like 2k on this guy

if i die on him im gonna be so pissed

[mild flower]

yea while you do that id recommend something spammy or something that can one shot kill to the body at close range

lemat, hand crossbow, dolch, officer, all good picks [keep in mind lemat has to press the "change firing mode/ammo type" key, typically X, to use the shotgun mode

[elfin kraken]

i went dolch

so this is the final loadout. would you say its good?

[mild flower]

alr good luck. mosin dolch is a really good loadout as long as you arent too worried about the price

[mild flower]

yeah definetely, mosin dolch is hard to go wrong with

if you really want to go meta, i'd swap fusees out for flare gun and consider swapping knuckle knife for throwing spear, but that's up to how much you struggle with immolators

I would highly recommend bringing at least one regen shot in your consumables and learning the best time to pop it [usually when a fight starts and you get hit and suspect the fight will go on for a decent amount of time] it's insanely good right now.
Other meta consumables to pick from are vitality shot, frag bomb and ammo crate [ammo crate is pretty important with mosin dolch if you're a little trigger happy and/or don't have the best aim]

[elfin kraken]

what should i swap out from the bottom row?

thx btw

[full jungle]

Take iron eye too for traits

[hazy crest]

You can’t have dumdum on long ammo. I’m saying on compact and medium fmj is a better choice than dumdum

[full jungle]

Debatable

There’s a reason dumdum is scarce and more gums then fmj

[hazy crest]

There are far more situations in which pen is a factor than in which the bleed pressure actually accomplishes something in my experience

[mild flower]

oh ok i understand now. i still disagree tbh

dumdum can be better sometimes

[mild flower]

it really depends

like on drilling

dumdum is pretty much a must have on drilling for most people

[hazy crest]

Most of the time if I’m using drilling it’s the baby drilling as an ammo pool for more fmj on cyclone or cent

[outer iron]

Don't get what it is about this game. If my connection drops for even a second, it's back to main menu. Like my friends can hear me and everything but the game doesn't mesh with it. Still won but by a hair.

[bright girder]

feels bad losing when you're prestiging :// 7 kills as a solo but die at the end I level up 3 times

[desert acorn]

Unlocked tier 3 oliver whitman. I really like the coat.

Also, he's a bit older than I am, but still old enough that I identify with him.

[steep narwhal]

@hybrid zinc TEAM BERTHIER RIPOSTE

[ancient cave]

haven't done this type of stupidness in awhile
the worst part is it's viable I'm just gonna suck

[hybrid zinc]

BEST TEAM

[steep narwhal]

Good build would recommend trueshot or even dualies

[ancient cave]

ehhh dualies would make it too close ranged for me

[hybrid zinc]

Upercut precision?

Also use a Last Rites Hunter that will boost your damage by 10%

[ancient cave]

haven't done the uppercut tree this prestige

[steep narwhal]

the original uppercut gives more style points than the precision

[desert acorn]

last duo on clash camped for 4 minutes. Not moving a muscle. I wondered after necro, if they'd all killed each other, so I moved around, and they chased me down. Wouldn't have been a problem to just leave the map. Surviving clash is definitely a long shot for a low mmr like me... specially solo.

[mild flower]

Nah using last rites hunter gives you 5x the health

[mild flower]

One of the reasons it's so important to get bounty first in clash

Although if they took it from your body it wouldn't have helped ig

[desert acorn]

Got in a firefight at spawn. I won it with one guy, but his two teammates had other plans.

[dawn mantle]

Anyone remember that trait a few years ago where you'd regenerate HP while on fire (but still charring slowly)

[mild flower]

Blazeborn iirc?

[dawn mantle]

yeah

Is it bad I want it back

[dawn zinc]

That event was so broken I don't want to think about those traits ever returning

[dawn mantle]

As someone whose entirely unafraid of fire damage.

[dawn zinc]

But they definitely could fit in the game with a bit more thought

[dawn mantle]

Wasn't blazeborn kinda fine?

[dawn zinc]

Yeah just the event as a whole though

[dawn mantle]

I think the main problem was that it slowed charring while down or something, but I don't fully remember

[tawny frost]

dont bother bro, the points are rigged from the start

[dawn zinc]

People were immune to bleed and all that

[dawn mantle]

but yeah could easily be brought back

[dawn zinc]

I just remember it being a bad time

[dawn mantle]

Yeah immunity is bad

[ancient cave]

idk if it's a latency thing or something but alerts like horses specifically wait for me or my friend to be a bit away to get triggered, it feels like they know they wanna be an issue so they wait till we have to actively run back to them to start screaming

[dawn zinc]

and I'm not a fan of the inferno either so that doesn't help

[dawn mantle]

Gaining some benefit but still suggering the downsides is fine tho imo

[dawn mantle]

There's 3 stages to animals

Calm, aware, alerted

if they're aware their alert range is increased i think

So you can run closer to them than you can start running from when leaving

[tawny frost]

they have a detection meter too i think - make enough noise and they go haywire

[ancient cave]

I mean I can chill in ducks aware stage for minutes on end without them caring

[dawn mantle]

(Also a hunter nearby with a good ear can still know you're nearby because aware makes different noises)

[dawn mantle]

Yeah its not like a progressing thing

As long as you don't make sudden actions or noises they'll stay aware, but not trigger

or get too close

[ancient cave]

sure but if I'm approaching right I should trigger the aware

and then there should be a point I get closer and its considered enough to trigger, but they don't, but then I go back to roughly where the alerted would start again and THEN they go off. It just feels odd it takes a bit

[dawn mantle]

Because you're too close and gaining progress to alert

You're too close, they're more receptive to noise, and you make enough noise while leaving to spook them

[ancient cave]

I'm confused now it is a progressing thing?

[dawn mantle]

I meant like

It doesn't just "go up cause too close"

It requires actions, it's not self progressive is a better term

You sitting there doing nothing will not provoke them

[desert acorn]

My first matches ever, everything was on fire.

[dawn mantle]

Moving into and out of said spot you're sitting in will, but not the act of just being there

[dawn mantle]

like, everything?

But yeah I miss blazeborn

[light sky]

That's a hot take

[dawn mantle]

Setting the entire compound ablaze and rushing in with my bomblance, with utter disregard of charring

yeah thats right the problem was that downed hunters wouldn't ignite

Remove that, maybe even make it normal hunters still ignite (but only regenerate when standing in active flames) and I think it could work

[light sky]

I don't think the game needs more busted traits

[dawn mantle]

I mean, it was only busted because it made it stupid hard to burn out players

[light sky]

So yeah, I used blazeborn and even I agree It shouldn't return

[left prairie]

damn officer carbine pretty good

[dawn mantle]

I used it and I think it should

It just needs tweaking

[light sky]

Prob just giving fire resistance but that's it

[dawn mantle]

The regen wasn't borked, and would def not be if ignition is still something one has to deal with. But ig just resistance would be fine too

would also round out the resistance traits

[harsh raptor]

couldnt you just hold down f while burning

[light sky]

A trait allowing for immunity to every status in the game, not catching on fire and getting restoration when burning a chunk?

[dawn mantle]

Mithridatis for poison, Bloodless for bleeding, Blazeborn for fire

[dawn mantle]

Standing in flames still deals fire damage even as you put yourself out

Holding F only pauses fire damage from your ignition, not from the environment

[light sky]

We already have salveskin for that. Blazeborn would just be salveskin 2.0 for the event.

[dawn mantle]

?

[harsh raptor]

yes but then people would just kinda sit in the fire while holding f to heal and time leaving the fire with the bar filling up

[dawn mantle]

And?

Regen shots exist. Ghoul exists

[harsh raptor]

so the desired effect of having a "cooldown" after healing in fire wouldnt really exist

[dawn mantle]

If you're in a situation where you can just stand in flames for regen, just pop a regen if you have one, or take ghoul instead and bully the local zombie population

[dawn mantle]

cooldown?

[light sky]

Busted traits never been a good idea, there's a reason why almost every other trait stayed but them lol

[dawn mantle]

Blazeborn was not busted and just gets lumped in with the others

[light sky]

Surely it wasn't

[dawn mantle]

It's only properly problematic aspect was not being ableto ignite downed hunters

[harsh raptor]

well what else would catching on fire do

[light sky]

The pact that allowed for avoiding every status in the game, not getting burned while downed and total restoration while burning a bar

[harsh raptor]

it just makes you hold f for 5 seconds

[dawn mantle]

also witness came back didn't it

and relentless

[light sky]

Witness wasn't even op, neither relentless

[dawn mantle]

Holding F for 5 seconds in a fight can be a large amount of time.

[harsh raptor]

healing in fire with rampage would lead to some pretty nasty clips tho

[dawn mantle]

Neither was blazeborn. Remove not being able to ignite downed hunters and it's fine

maybe reduce regen speed too, now looking back at it

[light sky]

Oh boy.

[dawn mantle]

Or, as you said, just add it's resistance to fire damage

Tho that's just salveskin, hmm

yeah, ignitable downed bodies and minor regen and it could work

[light sky]

Or, just keep the trait in the vault and get something new.

[dawn mantle]

Like what? Nothing really fits the niche blazeborn had

[light sky]

Idk, up to the devs to decide

[harsh raptor]

make it protect you from not one but 2 incendiary rounds (game breaking)

[mild flower]

This would just suck and be frustrating to play against

Would also make an already mid ammo type worse

[main flax]

I heard somewhere that ques shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, and if they do it'll stick you in an empty lobby, is that true?

[dawn mantle]

wish we could add traits to loadouts as well

[main flax]

I'm assuming that's false, cause I've been in a que for 7 minutes

[light sky]

Which server?

[dawn mantle]

no it should eventually drop you into an empty lobby (or with whoever it did find)

Theres a bar under the queue button iirc, if that fills it gives up and drops you in

[light sky]

Because my guy, it is midnight

[dawn mantle]

hellfire bottles are best for direct impacts right?

[light sky]

Yes

[main flax]

NAE

[main flax]

I mean yeah, but I was just having back to back matches without a problem.

[light sky]

Well, people go to sleep at some point

[dawn mantle]

hellfire bombs don't seem that good tbh

[versed pine]

I still wish we removed the burning mechanic and had a balanced way of rez'ing instead

like needing to loot a dead hunter to revive someone instead or something

[dawn mantle]

oh I have salveskin that probably skewed the testing

[light sky]

Literally burns 50 HP with a hit

And the radius is huge

[dawn mantle]

yeah I think salve made that look worse

Tho why use a firebomb when you can just shoot or use dynamite

[light sky]

Whatever people likes

[dawn mantle]

TIL flare guns are really good for dealing with swarms

"I'm gonna go all in on fire damage this time-"

[light sky]

Classic Hunt

[dawn mantle]

Fastest hunt ever

Spawned on top of boss, with a lance and the exit next to me

Still managed to kill a duo

https://tenor.com/2pry.gif

[trail spade]

Wait flare gun can burn swarms ?

[dawn mantle]

yeah

[light sky]

Any source of fire can but Incen ammo

[dawn mantle]

popped one into it for the lols in the shooting range with a hive bomb and they ignited and died

[trail spade]

Another W for the flare gun

[left orbit]

yes. fusees the same. any fire

chokes too

[light sky]

What in the 3 star lobbies at 5am

Oh that's OCE

[dawn mantle]

I don't think the first guy expected me to just be standing there, menacingly

Also think I caught the second one switching weapons with them thinking I was upstairs, not just around the corner

[left orbit]

the bump

[dawn mantle]

or maybe the first thought the fuse was a dynamite or something, not a fire bomb and so they expected me to be cooking it

[trail spade]

Bro was scared by being on fire like a wild animal lol

[dawn mantle]

yeah

[trail spade]

This game has the wackiest pvp I swear

[dawn mantle]

I'm the exact opposite of the spectrum

If I'm on fire I stop looking at my healthbar

And just push

People do not expect the burning hunter to be the one pushing the fight

[trail spade]

100%

Now bleed ?

That is the real shit

[dawn mantle]

I will burn. I'll lose bars. But you will die.

I ignore bleed too

[vestal axle]

0х30001

[trail spade]

You run bloodless ?

[dawn mantle]

Only one I get miffed about is poisoning because you can't just fall back and patch it

I do not.

[trail spade]

I got so many kills from bleeding out

Insane presure potential

[dawn mantle]

I just understand that bleeding will eventually kill me, but the hunter who applied it is infinitely more threatening

[trail spade]

Fair fair

[dawn mantle]

I'll only patch it on the spot if it drops me very low in the first shot

and the enemy hunter is not on top of me

[trail spade]

I want to do a prestige run with only 1 weapon, im thinking either dumdum springfield or vetterli

[dawn mantle]

Bomb lance

[left orbit]

yes, it works in "low" lobbies

5-6 fully expect a burning turd to push them. also bleeding

[dawn mantle]

Or even better, fists

Firsts are surprisingly good weapons if you can get in close

sure they arent the most damaging but my god you can just keep swinging till they drop

[left orbit]

vett too easy, i did it

[dawn mantle]

I mean, bleed + fire is just meh

That fire damage will only be meaningful in an extended fight, or in a future fight

I use it for fear factor, and because it obscures vision making it easier for me to get close

[left orbit]

well that's already a big thing. i you get a full bar burnt away on the first team... good luck lmao

[dawn mantle]

Restoration comes cheap these days

(And I hate it)

[left orbit]

i know

[trail spade]

Is still strong these days ?

[left orbit]

but you may not have it anymore or being rushed by the next teams

[dawn mantle]

Restoration being bounty kill only meant there was high risk in taking early damage

[left orbit]

i play B-S-S-B to avoid that anyways

and always salvskin

[dawn mantle]

and that permanent damage sustained after the banish weakened your position

I actually rarely use salveskin

[left orbit]

though, 3 alert trip mines will take away a full big bar regardless

[dawn mantle]

I am fully willing to ignore status effects to complete the kill

[left orbit]

i hate going on fire just bc of inc ammo

[left orbit]

in full 6 this gets you killed

[trail spade]

Depends on the 6 stars

[dawn mantle]

good thing I'm not in 6

[left orbit]

it always depends but you get what i mean

[dawn mantle]

In fact I recently got back into 3 star

[left orbit]

that explains a LOT

blessed be you

[dawn mantle]

In my defence, I do not gun.

And have spent the last like 6 months gunning

Moment I start lanceing again I'm going back up

[trail spade]

I wish I was 3 stars. Im 5/6 these days and its boring sometimes

Too much waiting around

[dawn mantle]

screw it, might take bloodless and mithridatist

The implacable man

[trail spade]

Bloodless is pretty good if you run into dumdum kids

[dawn mantle]

17 points to spend, hmm

Oh you know what

[trail spade]

I really like Witness and necro is a must if solo. The rest is up to you

[dawn mantle]

I think the second person here got confused because of whispersmith

[trail spade]

Witness is broken if used right. Basically a dark sight boost xD

[dawn mantle]

I was right around the corner. They heard me change weapons and it would have sounded distant

So they swap weapons and start pushing in, only for me to be RIGHT FUCKING THERE

Pain sense seems good considering what I'm doing

[trail spade]

Also get dauntless if you can

Insanely good for 1 point

[dawn mantle]

No one uses grenades in OCE istg

[trail spade]

Putting out their chokebombs is beyond funny

[trail spade]

Damn OCE ? Haha that region is always cursed in any game bro I swear

[dawn mantle]

Not once have I ever gone "man wish I had dauntless here" because they never throw it at you, they either try and wallbang through a wall with it or don't use it at all

hell, me using fire bombs I'm probably the one person in OCE rn whose trying to throw shit AT you

[trail spade]

Decoy fuses could be amazing for you if you like to push a lot

[dawn mantle]

no I use real dynamite

I just don't cook it

[trail spade]

I ran 3 fuses in a team and they got confused by the masking of all the fuses

[dawn mantle]

Then I decide on reaction whether to push over it or go around

[trail spade]

My friend took out 2 with a big bundle randomly sprinkled in

[trail spade]

Hey as long as you use it right either for kills or info its aight

I troll people with the waxed stick because they never expect their chokes to fail

[dawn mantle]

I don't use chokes for explosives, I use it to disrupt their aiming

[trail spade]

Btw the indicator shows exactly how long you need to cook it for, it gets shorter

Imagine if we had choke bullets lmao best debuff in the game

[dawn mantle]

decoys can do decent damage considering they're not meant to damage

[dawn mantle]

yeah i know

[trail spade]

Ikr ? Lmao

[dawn mantle]

We kinda do

Pocket crossbow has choke bolts

[trail spade]

Handcrossbow

Ye

[dawn mantle]

Best way to directly deliver a choke into someone before rushing in

[trail spade]

I prefer poison for hand crossbow it has funny moments

Especially if you catch people in deep water

[versed pine]

I want a perk that lets me pet the hellhounds and make them not aggro me

[trail spade]

You scared the hell out of them !

[dawn mantle]

them as they realized what was happening

[trail spade]

So its kinda obvious the 2 scarce weapons will be added to the game after the event ends right ?

[mild flower]

no

they will probably be kept as a scarce thing but i highly doubt they'll make it into the purchaseable arsenal

seeing as they are literally just directly better than other options

[dawn mantle]

@trail spade You an assassin's creed fan?

[trail spade]

Not really tbh

[trail spade]

Lmao

[trail spade]

Those guys are paid actors

[mild flower]

naw they didnt look that bad tbh

i dont think anyone would have expected that to happen

[dawn mantle]

I was just vibing

I didn't even know what I did till like 10 seconds later

Fucking record scratch and rewind

you can even see it in the clip lmao

[worn oak]

Good one. ☕

[untold stag]

mmr 6 lobby?

[dawn mantle]

3 or 4 here i think

Or, well, that was my MMR, but I play solo

[untold stag]

ah. good kills though. way funnier to do that shit on mmr 6 players, they get beyond pissed

[wheat pilot]

Do I only get weapon xp for kills? Or does just hitting an enemy grant xp as well?

[dawn mantle]

kills

You can do 149 damage with a gun then hit them with a bat, the bat gets the xp

[mild flower]

fr its surprising how many 6 stars fall for those kind of plays

[dawn mantle]

One of those real examples of "It's so stupid, it would never work" so they don't try defend against it so it works

[wheat pilot]

Oh, aight. I was wondering why levelling up the springfield is taking me so long, I guess it's because a lot of my kills are hitting someone with the rifle and then finishing them off with my secondary

[dawn mantle]

yeah

[mild flower]

it's worth noting that melee kills with the weapon count for exp, and so do kills against AI enemies, so a good way to grind weapon exp is to kill AI with the melee attack of the weapon.

[dawn mantle]

The weapon you want to level has to be the killing blow

[dawn mantle]

^

As long as it's that weapon that deals the killing blow, whether through bullet, melee, burning or bleeding to death, it gets the xp

[mild flower]

if you're trying to level springfield against hunters, though, explosive ammo is a great choice to ensure it gets the killing blow. tag with smth high damage, finish with springfield compact explosive

[dawn mantle]

What you can do is take a katana and martialist plus the weapon you want to level

[untold stag]

"im mmr 6 and died to a solo like that. i cant believe it!"

[dawn mantle]

Then fuck up the bosses until they're low then shooting them, the gun will get the xp

[scarlet plinth]

Note to self

[untold stag]

how pissed u get tho if your whole team die to a solo.

[scarlet plinth]

Never switch back to my body ounce he finished revived me

[untold stag]

always so sad

[scarlet plinth]

Damn screen turned black

[dawn mantle]

Especially one like me whose using the most inane strategies and winning somehow

[untold stag]

yeah i would quit hunt

[dawn mantle]

like what the fuck did I even do there

I just yeeted myself off a cliff and won

[untold stag]

they just needed to shoot you once

lmao

[dawn mantle]

https://youtu.be/iYZyuo0wOKM?si=e7E68lnU9I4CD8Yk&t=9 Me omw to obliterate that poor duo

[mild flower]

Forgot to say earlier but, a warning to everybody, DO NOT SHOOT THE SCARCE WEAPONS IN THE SPIDER LAIR FOR FUN BEFORE PICKING THEM UP. It destroys them lmao

they just disintergrate instantly

[untold stag]

when you shotgun someone jumping off cliff to get you though, their body drops in the air. chefs kiss.

[dawn mantle]

Roger, going to the lair every game ASAP to set everything alight so no one gets them

[trail spade]

Homie he was making a ton of noise and they didnt even expect to look up ? Clueless

[untold stag]

exactly

he punched the door too

thats crazy

sound is everything fr

[dawn mantle]

Looking closer at the clip

[mild flower]

the ronin was a bit silly for just staring up with a saber out, but the other guy was cooking an explosive in all fairness

[dawn mantle]

The first guy had seen me and raised melee

but I landed directly behind him and he had trouble turning around in time

I think the second guy was just shitting himself and panicking

[untold stag]

even then, he saw you too late. heard you too late. they shouldve heard you and stayed alert at least 6 seconds before that

i hear ppl quite far away. maybe they werent paying attention

[mild flower]

to me it seemed pretty clear that they heard. why else would they have been cooking an explosive to throw up to spiderbite? They expected spiderbite to peek over the ledge with a gun and they could explode them

[trail spade]

Genuine bad play from both ngl but then again its just a game. My only point is that people COULD have expected that if they had the experience. Its clear they are new dudes

[rose kite]

In y’all honest opinion, what was best time for y’all when y’all played this game before 1896 update?

[trail spade]

Early alpha

[mild flower]

probably serpent moon but that's just cause that's when i played the most. i think i missed out on tide trilogy, but i heard great things about it

[untold stag]

so they heard him or shouldve heard him when he heavy
the armor dude. and if i heard him from that moment and i still "hear" loud footsteps coming directly toward me, they dont pause or try to rat - im immediately on guard and start to pull away. So just a bad play tbh

[rose kite]

Devil moon for me will always be my favorite one

[trail spade]

True af 100% true

But then again he said he plays 3 stars and at 3 stars the dudes there aint hearing that

[untold stag]

yeah im talkin like mmr6 lol

[trail spade]

Oh ye ofc

[untold stag]

im not judging their play. they did good

[mild flower]

naw disagree i've seen lots of 3s hear that stuff. maybe just my regions though

[trail spade]

They might not understand what they are hearing tho

[trail spade]

Thats the problem

[velvet agate]

The best feeling in hunt is to extract with 4 tarot card

[untold stag]

my friend new to hunt doesnt. Unless its a deranked player - theyre usually clueless and panic

[mild flower]

maybe it's more like that in merica

seeing as it has a big enough playerbase to have a decent difference between mmr

[untold stag]

honestly could be headset issue too. I met ppl with bad headsets and they dont hear which side somebody charging from. But in this case, they just played like 3 mmrs which is fine lol

[trail spade]

I play EU and here the dudes in 3* are basically bad or smurfing. No inbetween. 4 stars is basically a mix of everyone tho.

Worst feeling in the game is being killed by a 2 star acompanied by his 6 stars friends, new acc with hidden stats and russian name 💔

[untold stag]

lol

personally worst feeling is being 3rd or 4th partied because they sit and let the fight happen but join in to finish you off. No skill

[mild flower]

is fast fingers available in shooting range

[trail spade]

My friend does this and while it works its the most boring thing known to man

I wanna shoot dudes not sit iddly while they battle it out

[mild flower]

tbf the game actively encourages it, there's a whole loading screen tip about doing it as a solo

[untold stag]

its fine as solo. go for it. im talking about mmr6 players that stream on twitch and think they got skill

[trail spade]

I honestly like that you can get 3rd partied

Hunt has a very complex PvP loop

Between AI, noise traps and all the different guns amd tools

I just hate sitting around

[untold stag]

3rd seems fine and normal especially in mmr6 lobbies. hella normal. but that mmr6 team the 4th team watching from distance is annoying asf

[rose kite]

You more of a team player or solo
Player?

[trail spade]

In trios you can basically tell what is happening with just 1 or 2 noise clues

[trail spade]

As a team

If I solo its death or glory

[rose kite]

My best advice for as solo you learn more playing solo than you would as a team, if team it’s better if everyone has mic tbh at least y’all can call locations and shots as well and actually communicate

[untold stag]

i use mic. but i dont mind no mic players. i've played with teams that are extremely good at pinging locations and didnt need to voice it out at all entire matches.

[trail spade]

I play with friends to goof around. Solo is fun to sneak around tho

Randoms are usually russians so I dont bother

[rose kite]

I do that with bow and katana tbh

[trail spade]

Based

[untold stag]

map knowledge is important too. u dont really need voice call outs in higher mmrs

u just kinda get it

[rose kite]

That too

[rose kite]

Bomb lance would be too easy it’s not even funny

[trail spade]

Bomb lance <333

Honestly Bow as a solo is straight up unfair in lower mmr

[rose kite]

How come?

[rose kite]

Though I do love bomb lance was first weapon I main

[trail spade]

Stealth

[mild flower]

bow is unfair in any mmr imo

[rose kite]

To be honest that actually a reason I can understand cause if a player knows the map and can sneak around like reptile with bomb lance, nasty combo tbh

[trail spade]

Fair enough

[rose kite]

I’m surprise they haven’t nerf bow tbh yet

[hazy crest]

It’s gotta be one of the dev’s little plaything

Like the mosin

[mild flower]

if bow's balance were brought into question by crytek, the people who use it exclusively might lose respect for the game lol

[mild flower]

mosin, bow, crown and king..

i would say dolch, but that has actually been nerfed

just not enough

[rose kite]

Honestly depending on situation, would that be worst case scenario

[mild flower]

is martini henry FMJ actually a viable ammo choice now, after penetration nerf? It deals so much more damage on wallbang

[hazy crest]

They literally buffed every single other long ammo rifle to compete with the mosin instead of just… nerfing the mosin

[mild flower]

The worst part is that they didn't even buff most to be their own unique thing. They buffed them to be more mosin-blooded.

krag being the prime example

[rose kite]

Mosin sniper used to be my favorite sniper between that and Springfield it’s much cheaper and more powerful

[mild flower]

krag just got mosined down

[rose kite]

High velocity + Springfield = best range in game hands down

[hazy crest]

The single shots got fast fingers, the berthier had a horde of buffs, the lebel got its sight thinned to be more in line with the mosin’s and the mako just got a rof buff

[spark plaza]

Good morning people

amogus

[bleak jay]

uhm

wtf upgrade points..?

gotta be a bug right
