hunt-general

[whole furnace]

You were fighting bots until level 11

[cinder elm]

wait is trainee mode bots

or you mean unskilled people

[normal radish]

in trainee mods you fight BOTS

really bad ones

[cinder elm]

oh my god💔

[jaunty patio]

There are people who have played for thousands of hours yet still have a below 1.0 KD, they just like the game enough to struggle through it. Prestige is just time played, about 2000 hours total or less to get from Prestige 0 to Prestige 100 if you're focusing on it.

[mortal cove]

Well and the couple other Trainee players that exist

Which tbf Don't play much better than the bots

[cinder elm]

i see

[void geode]

im 6 star and my friend plays with me and has 15 hours he is lowkey a demon

he pulls weight

[jaunty patio]

In the same way, someone can be an aboslute monster but decided he never wanted to prestige. Prestige 0/1s can be very scary.

[void geode]

ive never prestiged

[cinder elm]

so more of a superficial guide that isnt super reliable

[void geode]

you can apply the experience doesn’t equal playtime rule to like everything ever

[mild flower]

below 1kd doesn't necessarily mean they struggle. they could get downed but revived a lot, they could get a lot of assists but never final blow, or they could have farmed tons of deaths as a solo necromancer back in the days that solo necro destroyed your kda with the 5 lives thing.

or similarly could have gotten necromancered into gunfire a lot

[definetely not speaking from exp]

[void geode]

always gotta try once right

[cinder elm]

does the game have elo at all

[void geode]

yes

[mild flower]

yeah, MMR

[cinder elm]

but its like hidden isnt it

or did i not see it

[normal radish]

yes

its not hidden

[cinder elm]

hmm alright

maybe im suffering from huge skill issue

[jaunty patio]

The last point about solo necro is fair, if you play loose with your stats and don't care about them then after enough playtime they'll lock into place and basically never change. Getting assists would improve their KDA though, like I'm at 1.45 KDA but 1.10 or less KD.

[void geode]

if your new i wouldnt doubt it

[normal radish]

its too early to say that

after like 500 600 hours

then judge yourself

[cinder elm]

ive played the game for a grand total of five hours

[mild flower]

exactly what happened to me haha

[void geode]

at 10 you should figure out how to fly. if you havent yet then you should find a new game.

[cinder elm]

damn.... might needa switch...

i only figured out gliding so far

[void geode]

its a top 5 fps for me overall imo

stick with it you might like it

[cinder elm]

no yeah i like the whole cowboy fantasy theme

never played extraction shooters before though

[void geode]

okay now equip the maynard sniper silencer and go sit in a bush

[cinder elm]

thats lame!!

[void geode]

true hunt player

yeah when you get killed by a bum like that it dont feel great

[cinder elm]

real ones walk straight into gunfire and catch about twenty strays

[void geode]

well get yourself a nice skin bundle buddy and get to hunting

cant hunt without a nice outfit

[cinder elm]

im thinking of saving the blood money for the plague doc skin

one thousand💔

[void geode]

Hey man if that tickles your fancy

[cinder elm]

theres probably like a skin that blends in with the environment and tryhards use right

[void geode]

they nerfed a lot of the good blending in skins

the best might be the reptile now?

not sure

im not lame

if you actually sit in a bush when you play any video game you might be a little off your rocker

[unreal zinc]

Jesse buchanan t3

[jaunty patio]

Reptile, the ghillie suit veterans, and Oliver Whitman: Veteran are the go-to sweat camo skins from what I've seen.

[unreal zinc]

yeah

[void geode]

if u got a ghillie suit on bro you gotta hang it up

are we serious

[unreal zinc]

I forgot the female bush wookie skin even existed 😭

[void geode]

i like that new skin the caged bird

very simple

[stone basin]

I just got avtod ouchie

[unreal zinc]

yeah im running it alot right now the first person view is not bad

[void geode]

thats all that matters to me on a skin

if the hands are tuff

[unreal zinc]

• the krag skin and new army skins are fairly good

fair enough

[void geode]

both some of my favorite guns

new army so fire

its lowkey the dolch

[unreal zinc]

yes

[void geode]

i prolly take krag over mosin too

[normal radish]

most players in hunt dont shoot strays

the skill distribution in hunt is impressive

[cinder elm]

yeah ive seen first hand

[void geode]

i get kills to maintain my kd and mmr and then die

its an infinite loop

[normal radish]

if im to suggest a tip after all this time of playing

its to be confident

confidence helps out a LOT

pair that with a lil bit of patience

and you see yourself improving

[jaunty patio]

100%, if you tense up or get tunnel vision then you give enemies more chances to dictate how the fight goes on their terms rather than making them react to your actions

I still struggle with that

[normal radish]

tunnel vision, reminds of tarkov lol

but yeh

it can happen irl

and its very very disruptive

[cinder elm]

do you suggest defending or going after people

[mild flower]

a balance depending on the situation is key

[dreamy cave]

^ wrong always shift W

Go go go

[cinder elm]

was that a crow??? racks rifle

[dreamy cave]

Do it for the clip

[mild flower]

@cinder elm hunt is all about balance

balance between sneaky/slow and loud/fast
balance between defensive/passive and agressive/controlling
balance between sticking together and staying apart from your teammates

[dreamy cave]

Wrong again

Shift W

Fast

[cinder elm]

shift w and hand on the spacebar

[dreamy cave]

Get to the compond walls and youre in

Repeak at least 4 times

[mild flower]

i dont think sprinting your forehead into a shotgun barrel and dying is very chad

[dreamy cave]

Jiggle peak

[cinder elm]

is there a fast way to kill bosses cause im getting to the boss area but by the time i get it low

everyone knows my location

[dreamy cave]

Always wrong

[mild flower]

the fastest way to kill bosses is to use explosives like a sticky bomb or to spam throws/pullouts with throwing tools or found in-world melee weapons. you rarely want to shoot the boss.

[cinder elm]

is the double sticky bomb still viable after the big update?

[dreamy cave]

A sticky bomb will fuck everything besides rotjaw and assassin. But world melee and katana etc

[mild flower]

for boss killing? sticky bomb is great but i would not use a double. just a single sticky bomb is enough to make them easy to kill in one burst of weapon throwing.

[jaunty patio]

The rare times you want to shoot the boss is when they have a weakness like you can kill the spider in like 9 compact incendiary shots

[void geode]

i be finding an axe type shi

[mild flower]

or if you're farming weapon exp you get the final blow with the gun

[cinder elm]

i see i see

[jaunty patio]

Penny shot shotguns are also good, a Romero with one slot buckshot and one slot pennyshot is pretty useful, 3 shots will also kill a Meathead

[cinder elm]

lumberjacks when asked about their job

[void geode]

their job is to cut wood not find axes buddy

[dreamy cave]

Couch walking still makes obvious noise

[cinder elm]

how they gonna cut wood if they dont find an axe!

🧠

[void geode]

chainsaw

[dreamy cave]

Squish squish

[cinder elm]

Ummmmm so thats like cheating

[void geode]

i dont actually imagine any lumberjacks use axes anymore if i had to guess come to think of it

[cinder elm]

maybe if they wanna look cool

[mild flower]

hellborn is the weirdest to kill, oftentimes i just shoot it but you can also spam melee throws if you're confident in dodging or use choke bombs if you are fine with wasting them

[stone basin]

Big dynamite budle or sticky bomb EVERYTHING besides assassin

[cinder elm]

whats up with the penny shot thing it looks like its useless but its gotta exist for a reason

[void geode]

i have never seen the hellborn and ive played the 1896 version for like 30 hours atleast

[cinder elm]

is it good for bosses

[void geode]

more pellet less damage no penetration

less dmg per pellet*

[cinder elm]

so for breathing distance

[mild flower]

@cinder elm this is true, and for rotjaw, get it to bask then cook an explosive to airburst over its head so it doesnt get in the water

[void geode]

just use buck unless u have the romero and u wanna bring both for boss

[mild flower]

it's good for bosses, immolators, meatheads, bears and for loadouts that lack a shotgun.

[void geode]

yeah u can bring penny derringer

[cinder elm]

i see

[mild flower]

oh wait you mean the ammo type, i thought you were talking about the penny derringer

[dreamy cave]

Yeah pennyshot fucks bosses

[mild flower]

well all except the last point are still accurate

[cinder elm]

what about when you gotta banish the boss should you stay nearby it or distance yourself and come back when its about done

[void geode]

berserker plus melee weapon against bosses is really fun

[void geode]

up to you lowkey

[mild flower]

that's preference, but i usually move to the side of the compound that I know enemies will be entering from [i dont leave the compound] and hold there, maybe after trapping the boss lair so you know if someone gets in.
People are usually caught off guard if you're holding a building farther from the boss lair especially if it's on the same side that they're entering

[void geode]

its gonna blow ass if someone comes in and takes ur shi tho

[mild flower]

sometimes you can let them pass and kill them when they walk up to the boss building

[mild flower]

yea, you gotta listen out carefully

or have a teammate hold the banish

or trap

[cinder elm]

so you could make them think youre inside while youre outside waiting to shoot

[mild flower]

indeed

sometimes they walk right past you

[void geode]

my consumables are always filled with 4x vit shot

im a healthy man

[mild flower]

still make sure you're in a covered, defendable position though. preferably in or near a building still.

[stone basin]

I dont trap so usually I just sit outside the banish room on like a roof or another nearby building for people to come

[cinder elm]

also whats the whole reason of throwing molotovs onto corpses cause ive been doing it to solo players but i dont fully know the reasoning

[void geode]

no res

plus can full kill

[cinder elm]

does it like reduce health bars until its 0

[void geode]

yes

[mild flower]

it starts burning the body, which destroys their health bars over time permanently. if a solo loses all of their bars, they can't self revive

[stone basin]

Forcing self res/necro, stopping others from looting, pressure, making someone full dead

[cinder elm]

i see

[void geode]

i do be bringing fire bomb a lot

useful for pressure

if u can burn a body and pressure u prolly win the team fight now

[mild flower]

it's useful against teams as well, but you can't FULLY confirm a kill on a team because they can still revive full dead teammates if they have a bounty token

[cinder elm]

as far as i know molotovs for teams are more of a pressure thing to make them hurry to the teamate no?

[void geode]

otherwise they die yeah

only thing that fixes full burnt body is a bounty revive

choke bombs extinguish flame too

if your in a team and you dont have choke bombs your the devil

[cinder elm]

im doing solo which idk if is a good choice for starting

[void geode]

you can do fine

ive always been a duo guy

[trail spade]

Just take necro

[void geode]

but you are disadvantaged

[fervent aspen]

:)

[stone basin]

Greedy pennyshot flaregun spear users

[mild flower]

solo is fine for starting out, but if you want to you can find a teacher in the lfg channels.

[cinder elm]

yea i do

[mild flower]

@cinder elm ^^^

[cinder elm]

alright ill see to it

[trail spade]

I usually run trios and if I can get to 6* and 6* team mmr anyone can

[jaunty patio]

It's tougher as you don't get people with experience giving small insights about random things but it's also a strong trial by fire which means that if you do ever play trios you'll be more confident in handling situations on your own and potentially clutching.

[mild flower]

if you use them, make sure to say you're looking for someone to teach you the game and use the right regional channel

[void geode]

i find trios less engaging than duos

[mild flower]

players are usually excited to teach newbies

[void geode]

less teams

[trail spade]

Duos are more fun

Random duos take longer to que for me

And I just dont have the time

[void geode]

shit is just going crazy in duos every game

[mild flower]

all duos has so much third partying

[cinder elm]

so basically bruteforcing the game until i get better

[trail spade]

Game was made for duos and it shows

[fervent aspen]

Learning how to take an engagement as a solo really will help you out when it comes to playing with duos or trios just try not to get an ego and you should be fine

[cinder elm]

i see i see

[trail spade]

Nah just click heads

[cinder elm]

this whole game community seems nice

[fervent aspen]

I mean yeah

Click head win 🥇

[mild flower]

hah. that's funny.

[fervent aspen]

But also

Bomblance go brrrrrrr

[cinder elm]

i expected it to be trashier

[void geode]

there are 4 people playing this game when cant afford to lose anyone interested in it

[cursive marlin]

Yeah for right now

[trail spade]

Bro its a niche game ofc we are nice

[mild flower]

it kind of is, but only when you start climbing the ranks and engaging with higher tier players.

[void geode]

6 star lobby voip

[trail spade]

Just dont mention hidden stats russian players.. and dont look at what people post on your profile after you destroy them

[cinder elm]

so toxicity ramps up as skill does

[fervent aspen]

Fr look if you go into a match and you use your mic you will have the best and funniest time

[mild flower]

as with pretty much everything

people get fat egos, people get toxic

people who are new and know they aren't good won't do that

[cinder elm]

😭

[void geode]

my friend just started the other day and i forget that new players dont have all the traits

[mild flower]

or prestiging players

[void geode]

batman couldnt get me to press that button

[trail spade]

We started saying "Ey ey FU" in a italian accent for 15mins. Best trio experience of my life and we wiped the lobby too

[mild flower]

but bloodbonds

[fervent aspen]

Top singing the Macarena for 20 mins

[void geode]

if i want cosmetics ill just pay real money

there a few things i find cool in this game

[trail spade]

I want number to go up so I prestiege

Its that simple

[fervent aspen]

Funny red number go up brain go brrr

[cinder elm]

ey macarena

[fervent aspen]

Ay

[trail spade]

I bought a lot of stuff in this game. Keeping crytek going

[fervent aspen]

Ngl the sound tracks

[trail spade]

On 2 diff accs so

[fervent aspen]

mwah

[cinder elm]

is the marathon swift a good gun pick

[void geode]

its awesome

[vocal zealot]

I like it

[trail spade]

Its amazing for clicking heads

0 recoil

[cinder elm]

i know most guns are good if you know how to use them but like objectively

i see i see

[trail spade]

Iron eye trait makes you shoot faster btw

[cinder elm]

oh so its not just racking on ads

[cursive marlin]

It’s the biggest piece of dog shit

[void geode]

in my opinion id get every trait that pertains to your primary weapon

iron eye levering etc

[trail spade]

No little hunt player dont play only long ammo..

[fervent aspen]

Don’t look at weapons as what’s good and what’s not. Heck when you find a weapon that makes your brain feel funny you’ll know when your set

[vocal zealot]

Just use whatever makes you happy

[void geode]

coke

[cursive marlin]

All you have to do is run long ammo and short shot gun.

[trail spade]

Nitro makes me happy until I miss every shot and then I am sad

[vocal zealot]

As long as you can decently hit your shots you'll be fine with anything, give or take

[fervent aspen]

I used to be a sparks uppercut enjoyer until I found Katana and Throwing Knives

[cinder elm]

doesnt nitro get like absolutely ZERO ammo

[void geode]

bring ammo boxes

[vocal zealot]

Throwing axeesssss

[trail spade]

It also SHOULD 1 shot to the chest. Should****

[cinder elm]

does it not

[fervent aspen]

So now I bust ass running into a compound and scream MOM GET THE CAMERA at the enemy

[cinder elm]

i thought it was a one shot as long as it hit

[trail spade]

At medium range its sad

And if you hit the arm..

[void geode]

most inconsistent gun of all time

[cinder elm]

so gambling made into a gun

[trail spade]

Legit rival with slugs is the better nitro

[queen shore]

no u can survive even dum dum hit if it hits arm or legs

[cursive marlin]

Yeah kind of like the mako. It should get poison ammo for compensation

[fervent aspen]

Me when derringer only

[trail spade]

Literally cannon doesnt 1 tap to arms lmao

[cinder elm]

shotguns dont have long reach in this game right i havent really used any

[void geode]

pretty forgiving

especially romero

[trail spade]

Run slate

Insanely easy gun

[fervent aspen]

Slate is a great pick

[cinder elm]

the trench?

[trail spade]

Yep

[fervent aspen]

Yuh

[cinder elm]

is it like an accurate one

[trail spade]

Its ok

[void geode]

its the the overall pick

middle of the pack

its not as good as the specter tho

[fervent aspen]

I believe it’s more so for fire rate right?

[cinder elm]

whats with the auto 5

[trail spade]

Specter is more acc but fires slower

[void geode]

not anymore

[fervent aspen]

We don’t talk about the auto

[trail spade]

Auto 5 is semi auto but isnt as reliable

Auto 4 tho the shorty is kinda goated imo

[wide whale]

No, that would be silly, but distances can be deceiving in this game.
Shotguns rule most compound fights. Short of big compounds like railyard etc

[void geode]

auto 5 is hilarious

very strong pick

[fervent aspen]

True

[wide whale]

Auto-5 slug go brrrrr

[cinder elm]

very expensive too

[fervent aspen]

Try the nitro or avto now that’s money

[void geode]

if your out of effective range just shoot until you are

[cursive marlin]

We(yes we) HATE auto 5. Collectively

[cinder elm]

i saw dude

[void geode]

it actually feels so bad to get wiped by an auto 5

[fervent aspen]

Correct yourself

Seen

[cinder elm]

one big K on the nitro

[vocal zealot]

I havent had issues with the Auto 5, wdym?

[hazy crest]

Clown and cringe

[fervent aspen]

You no longer exist

[wide whale]

Avto is trash - fight me

[vocal zealot]

Whats so wrong with it?

[fervent aspen]

I agree

[cinder elm]

😨

[vocal zealot]

Like I genuinely dont understand, someone explain

[cursive marlin]

Auto 4 is superior

[vocal zealot]

That I can kind agree on

[queen shore]

it is trash but its fun also

[void geode]

auto 4 prolly better overall

[hazy crest]

Crown is cringe

[fervent aspen]

Peaking a clown and cringe or Avto or Nitro kinda just deletes you from the server if the enemy can aim

[vocal zealot]

I get one taps with it all the time

[wide whale]

Its fun the first time you click the trigger, then its just a club 🤣

[wide whale]

aim kinda aim

[raven totem]

[fervent aspen]

Point in general vicinity

[trail spade]

aim or devil card

nitro with devil is disgusting

[raven totem]

[trail spade]

actually unbind ADS button

[vocal zealot]

Devil in general is just good

[urban steppe]

within 40m sure

[fervent aspen]

Me when avto

[vocal zealot]

Well, losing 2 chunks kinda sucks but eh

[queen shore]

for no skill players yes 🥀

[vocal zealot]

Fair enough

[cursive marlin]

[trail spade]

nitro is already a slug shotgun but worse so its fine

[vocal zealot]

Too bad I never get the damn thing

[wide whale]

My first drop with an Avto when I started was one that I looted with a cool skin. Read the description and thought, hell yeh! Im playing COD while all you losers are playing a wild west game.
Dropped in, shot off a few shots to see what the recoil etc was like.
Boom, no ammo left 🤣

My team mates through it was hilarious.

[cursive marlin]

[urban steppe]

The nitro is not good post 1896 due to bullet drop

and the pen nerf

[trail spade]

ik but I still love the thing

the feel of it

[raven totem]

wild takes in here, would think it's reddit time lol

[cursive marlin]

Yo whoever posted that smug emoji fucked up. It’s hilarious

[raven totem]

it's a good one

[wide whale]

The nitro is great fun. If youre ambushing in the open you can just blow someone to bits at mid range.

[urban steppe]

who is eddy

what is the lore

[cursive marlin]

Perchance I agree 🥂

[raven totem]

adter leaving the cultasack he became a hunter

ed didn't make it

[cursive marlin]

[wide whale]

Pretty sure Ed is the bear

Got lost in the mists

[raven totem]

as dor avto nitro, ya'll think they're bad because you literally don't know how to play them. thats all.

[cursive marlin]

HEY. we don’t talk about that around here

[wide whale]

Eddy now hunt canon? 🤔

[cinder elm]

this game very clearly lacks a .22 rifle....

[cursive marlin]

Bornheim match is best you’re gonna get

[tawny frost]

derringer

[cinder elm]

whats that gun again

[cinder elm]

oh that one

[wide whale]

It's a decent all rounder - not my favourite though

Cant decide which secondary is 😢

[cinder elm]

74 damage.........

148hp in two shots.....

[cursive marlin]

Yes

[wide whale]

at point blank range

[tawny frost]

no, match deals more than 74

[cursive marlin]

Uppercut. Only good answer

[wide whale]

its like 3-4 shot kill usually at any reasonable distance

[cinder elm]

does it?

[tawny frost]

like barely, but yes, more damage than normal bornheim

[cinder elm]

i see

[wide whale]

See, I like the uppercut but I don't use it right. Tbf, I don't play right 🤣
Im currently playing around with spitfire, cant remember the actual pistol model? 🤔

[cinder elm]

what about the uppermat is it worth it

or does it look super cool but is clunky

[tawny frost]

wow that emoji is blocked?

[wide whale]

yeh, it seems so

[tawny frost]

wild, some mod got ragebaited by it, it seems 🤣

[tawny frost]

all pistols doodoo
embrace melee sidearms

[wide whale]

Handcross bow 4 life

wow, why did I put a space there

[tawny frost]

but to be honest, best pistols are =
spitfire, officer, pax, pax trueshot, sparks pistol

[cinder elm]

is the conversion pistol any good ive been using that

[queen shore]

i usually use base nagant or officer as secondary, uppercut is just classic secondary if i decide to run some serious loadout in high mmr, hand crossbow with bolts/ fire bolts its also secondary i often use

[wide whale]

I liked the conversion, and the chain is fun too!

[stone basin]

Conversion is basically like the default pistol

[cinder elm]

thought thatd be the schofield

[tawny frost]

horrible, unless u got fanning

[stone basin]

These fools

[tawny frost]

no gang
welcome to 6 stars

[cursive marlin]

I miss the revive bolts ngl

[queen shore]

chain pistol is fun with fanning but then u gotta reload like 30 sec lmao

[queen shore]

i dont it was too much

and didnt fit at all

[wide whale]

yeh, but thats fine, because everyones just mist now

unless you missed... hurdur

[cursive marlin]

[cinder elm]

how good is the base lemat revolver

[stone basin]

Dawg the conversion even in 6 star is still one of the better pistols, it aint no trueshot or uppercut or dolch but it is not “horrible”

[tawny frost]

p good and reliable

[cursive marlin]

It’s good. Just no good skins so I don’t run it

[tawny frost]

there are far better alternatives than conversion, and people who bring conversion in 6 star bring it for the spare ammo for their primary, not to use it

conversion has one of the slowest fire rates for pistols/revolvers in the game

[cursive marlin]

New army swift is superior pistol of all

[queen shore]

last resort is its best skin probably

but i almost never run lemat

or carbine

[raven totem]

the only noteworthy thing is pocket slugs, other than that it's ok.

[vocal zealot]

Just had a teammate run by himself to a compound, sat there for like 5 minutes by himself (while moving around) die, then not even leave till we died

Like what, am I missing something lol

[cinder elm]

are slugs on the shotgun barrel good?

[raven totem]

pocket slugs are good

[cinder elm]

i might needa try later today

[raven totem]

great if you're a rifle player wanting to hold a door in lair or something.

[cinder elm]

can it instantly down someone if youre close?

or is the slug damage reduced

[raven totem]

my primary usage for lemat is typically duel weild with bornheim match, or muleing ammo for other comact fmj while the lemat itself is just pocket slugs

[raven totem]

same as a hand cannon, so 11m one tap to the chest

[cinder elm]

i see

[wide whale]

Bring a penny shot and call it a day 🙂

[cinder elm]

penny after penny....

[raven totem]

penny shot is good, but it's all loadout dependent.

on the derringer, not guns

[wide whale]

Spear + Pennyshot - then bring whatever you like

2 spears and penny shot? 🤔

3?

who needs healing kits...

[queen shore]

2 spears enough to farm meatheads fast

[queen shore]

taking medkit is law if you go without it you feel naked

[wide whale]

Im not sure id ever be brave enough not to bring one

[queen shore]

i can never do loadout without medkit even tho its last heal i use regen and vitality covers most of the match then if u find some extra shots or boons during event

[wide whale]

I feel like I can have games where I dont need it at all. Im either dead dead or we obliterated the opposition.
And other games where I use all 3 uses 🤣

[queen shore]

ye all depends like sometimes i end up completly without heal and have nothing so i keep looking for world kits but then theres other game where u have too much heal and i dont use it all

[wide whale]

Regen and Judgement will last you most of any scuffle

Unless you accidentally use judgement first thinking you brought another card. 😭

[queen shore]

ye used judgement 2 times after taking shots and boon and it was like 40 mins of regen

[queen shore]

thats why i never bring cards from start only world if i want to run straight to boss which is usually on the other side of map

[wide whale]

I did it the other night right before an engagement and was like, 'sorry guys, gonna have to wait a min to push' lmao

Thought I brought hangman

[queen shore]

many times i use judgement also i should just wait on place until i get back heal but nah i kept running and there was dog or spider or hunter sitting in bush

[wide whale]

rip

[queen shore]

that happend to me in one of the first games during event was in nest used judgement and last spider killed me lmao

[normal radish]

yeh using judgement in the lair is a risk

i found two judgments once

and had one on me

i think i had like 40 sth minute worth of all shots

and we extracted without a single fight that match, everyone traded and we got free bounty

[wide whale]

Hey, those extended regen protected you from all those falls/zombie hits you inevitably take 🤣

[unreal zinc]

oh yeah i had that happen earlier, we ain't even kill no one 😆

they all traded by the mines in la plata

[mystic ravine]

Yoo some hunters just got event boost

just noticed

[queen shore]

when does the contest open? 4pm?

[queen shore]

probably related to new contest

[mystic ravine]

so its unofficially started?

cuz the count starts before the first update to the count

and announcement

it was the same with bileweavers and death rites

[queen shore]

no idea

[mystic ravine]

Oliver Whitman, Joan Damon, Jane Eddings, Otis...

many BB and dlc ones too

[queen shore]

yeah its related to contest like death rites cuz scarecrow got bonus and hes on wallpaper of contest

[mystic ravine]

yeah ik it is

[fluid temple]

what is penny shot even good for is it work bringing over throwing knvies?

[jaunty patio]

Looks like the theme for this contest is Farmers vs Strawmen. Daughter of Decay, Scarecrow, and the Redneck family are the main new additions to Event Boosts.
I really hope the motive for the fight is just "Get off my lawn ya damn hooligans"

[queen shore]

if u dont have shotgun and want some small utility take it can destroy door, kill immos, kill meatheads fast also works on hunters ofc but u have to be close but managed to kill few people with it and they killed me also

[jaunty patio]

Penny shot derringer is a semi-reliable way to get a kill in very close quarters without having to stab someone in the head, or have to stab them twice. It's kinda become the meta CQC tool. It doesn't really have a comparison to throwing knifes which are more for PvE value and the occasional 10m PvP kill.

[queen shore]

spear is still the best tool change my mind

[trail spade]

As long as you dont miss

[fluid temple]

its not ridiculous to say that

[trail spade]

Throwing knife is best for pve* imo

Throwing axe just best overall

[mild flower]

medkit:

[mild flower]

i find throwing axe best for pve because it one shots everything, throwing knife is a good utility to burst lanterns etc without worrying about losing them

and spear is best pvp

Throwing Knife: Utility
Throwing Axe: PvE
Throwing Spear: PvP

[clever sleet]

unfortunately we will never get this

sad but true - they dont put this on the road map - would be the only reason to play hunt again

[mild flower]

just because it's not on the 2026 roadmap doesnt mean we will never get it

[mild flower]

there's so many things i wish they touched on in the roadmap, like ammo box, restoration shot, quartermaster.. guess they're not considered as much as issues in the wider majority of the community

[queen shore]

of course no debate over that cant go to hunt without kits

[mild flower]

i think an argument could be made that choke bombs > throwing spear

but it really depends on the loadout there

[dawn zinc]

Something not being on the roadmap may not mean we won't get it but I think we all know we're never getting custom lobbies lol

[queen shore]

well choke bombs and meds should be in every loadout unless u are solo and dont need chokes

i take spear as main meele weapon

[dawn zinc]

In 2035 the last 200 Hunt Showdown players will be here telling each other post match replay is coming next year

[queen shore]

some people take it as second

[queen shore]

well custom lobbies we not getting because u could just farm all the stuff

[dawn zinc]

Farm what?

[queen shore]

max out hunters, event stuff, collect weapons traits farm it more easily, if u mean private match with people u just invite, if u mean custom lobbies where u able to choose map/boss/weather then i think that be pretty neat simular to old contract system in hunt

[dawn zinc]

Just turn progression off if it's that big of a deal

Custom lobbies so people can host games with their friends, we can have fun game modes, host competitions, etc

[mild flower]

even solos benefit greatly from chokes

[queen shore]

i know

but not every time

[normal radish]

they could add custom lobbies with no progression

like shit ton of other games

[mild flower]

yeah sometimes it's worth bringing killtraps as solo

[normal radish]

or seperate from official lobbies

but i think its not time yet

[mild flower]

or decoy bombs

[dawn zinc]

Problem is the game doesn't have enough players

[normal radish]

maybe hunt was nearing is death thatd be a good time

[dawn zinc]

Custom lobbies would just make bounty hunt matchmaking even worse

[queen shore]

if i play solo which is not much i take mostly death traps only and alert mines

[normal radish]

make it open source like TF2

[normal radish]

yeh i think if they add it when the support is nearing its end

[dawn zinc]

I mean they could but that would just be salt in the wounds really

[normal radish]

itd be actually helpful to keep the lifeline beeping a lil longer

[normal radish]

nah, tf2 did that

and now people have returned in masses

[dawn zinc]

If they add something people were asking for years when the game is dead lol

[normal radish]

well thatd prolong its death by a lil longer

so it is salting the wounds

[astral moss]

Game is dead ?

[normal radish]

when

[queen shore]

crytek has no really other project besides hunt so its life time is probably infinite for now unless they cook some different multiplayer or have big competition

[normal radish]

it dies

[normal radish]

bigger than arc raiders and hunger ?

arc raiders is of to a REALLY great start

[astral moss]

Hunger isn't live yet.

[normal radish]

and if hunger pulls it off too

thatd be a great hit

[dawn zinc]

Hunt is never going to die suddenly to another game because the gameplay is too unique

[normal radish]

to hunt population

[untold stag]

Why did I just get killed by post malone😭😭😭😭

[astral moss]

And arc is not better than hunt.

[dawn zinc]

Hunger wont kill Hunt. Not a chance

It's too RPG'y

[normal radish]

thats subjective, some think it is

[queen shore]

u cant compare arc raiders to wild west monster shooter

thats also first person

[astral moss]

Hunger look good but its not like hunt.

[normal radish]

but believe it or not, its an extraction shooter with a lot of similar elements to hunt

prestige system, character level up etc

so its got that extraction high stakes feeling to it

[astral moss]

The elements being: Its a extractionn shooter.

[untold stag]

Don't all extraction shooters have that

Isnt that the point of this genre

[normal radish]

yes, hence similarities i mentioned

[astral moss]

gam ded...

[dawn zinc]

I don't think people are playing any of these games for the prestige systems or character level ups. The gameplay is always king

[normal radish]

thats why arc raiders and hunger will get migrants from hunt

[queen shore]

well many games like that start to rise its like asymentrical horror games like friday the 13th, texas chainsaw , last year and dbd most of them are dead by now after few years of support only dbd holds still with most support and player base

[normal radish]

thats another subjective view, as i know a lot of people who priortize that system

[astral moss]

Hunger is really melee based, so it wont take much of the hunt player base.

[dawn zinc]

Hunt has gameplay that can't be touched by other shooters. It has such a unique feel

[pine condor]

hunt wont die for a longggg while yet. it has a dedicated fanbase and people need to understand that just because a game doesnt have 300k players doesnt mean its dead.

for honor is literally almost in its 10th year, still gets content. i can still find matches within a minute or two. but steam charts says for honor only gets a 24 hour peak of 3k players(only mentioning this because some people think steam charts is a games whole playerbase)

[untold stag]

I havent played arc raiders but the only thing I've seen in videos that a that interest me is the AI learning thing the enemies got

But thats it really

[normal radish]

they werent really extraction shooters, their gameplay loop is not as valuable as hunt

[normal radish]

of course, i myself forsee another 2 years of content with no problem

[dawn zinc]

ARC Raiders playercount will drop dramatically and I bet it wont be long before it happens

Everyone jumped on the bandwagon because everyone was saying how friendly it is

[astral moss]

Arc raiders have no identity and is boring af.

[normal radish]

its gonna hover at 40-60 k ish

[dawn zinc]

but that's already changing and people will get sick of it

[normal radish]

nah thats wild bro

i know you like hunt, but i love hunt even more than you but thats just too cruel

arc raiders aint a bad game

its nice

[dawn zinc]

Finding ARC Raiders boring is fine but saying it has no identity is indeed wild

[normal radish]

however its not main comptetion for hunt

hunger will be

[dawn zinc]

Hunger wont be competition for Hunt at all

[astral moss]

i don't say its bad, i say its like other game.

[queen shore]

every game thats not hunt is dogshit

[pine condor]

arc raiders is fun but its already starting to face the issues most games in the oceanic region face. which is oce sweats. arc differs from hunt because its ai is more than just a hindrance. its a threat and gives resources for actual items. the queen typically requires people to team up to fight it but a good 85% of my matches in oce have me dealing with people thinking arc is a third person cod battleroyale. literally had a guy screaming at me in voip because a random and I teamed up to kill him when he tried jumping us while we were fighting arc, "are you guys seriously teaming in solos??". like dude tf do you think the "lets team up?" emote is for? killing everyone on sight in arc is optional lmao

[normal radish]

i beg to differ, as almost all my HUNT friends have wishlisted it

[dawn zinc]

Some people who play Hunt will be interested in Hunger and after 15 hours they will miss Hunt gameplay

[normal radish]

thats the critical part. if they pull it off right and they dont miss it for like 100 hours till they are hooked

they will transfer

OR

[astral moss]

Since melee is more than viable in hunger, mmmmmmmh...

[dawn zinc]

I just can't see it. I genuinely thought the same when Hunger was announced but each time they show more gameplay, I have thought so less and less

[normal radish]

people like me that already have over 5k hours will probably have even more by the time hunger releases, so a fresh change wont hurt

hunt is great

but after 8 years and 6 k hours

it looses some of its charm

also no more prestiges after 100 makes the game boring kinda

im thinking abt buying a new hunt and hitting 100 for the third time lol

[dawn zinc]

People will play Hunger and once they get absolutely destroyed by people playing the meta character/build they will be sick of it

It's more like Dark & Darker than Hunt

[pine condor]

honestly i am pretty excited for hunger. and there isnt anything wrong with playing multiple games. hunt is my favourite game but when i finish up an event, ill typically play darktide or something. also

as amazing as hunt is, oce is really roughing it. empty lobbies with maybe one other person 5/7 days is pretty bad. ill get half decent lobbies friday and saturday night. and ill have a blast. but what i would give for oce region to have even half full lobbies atleast half the week.

[jaunty patio]

I'm pretty deep in the Hunger community and the two things I see most often relating to Hunt are people who already gave up Hunt looking for something to fill the void, they feel Hunt lost its identity. The other part is people who play Hunt and want variety. However, since the games are so different I don't think it's true competition where one will steal the other's players and leave them in the dust.

[astral moss]

If they buff melee on hunt i could stay.

[normal radish]

yeh thats my main gripe too, if they make it TOO rpg ish. and lose the balance between pacing

[pine condor]

basically what you're saying is that sweats damage a games success

[normal radish]

when it comes to pacing hunt has a perfect pace

hunger needs to have its own unique pace too

[pine condor]

oce region makes it hard to play hunt daily

[astral moss]

Its not like there is no meta in hunt tho.

[dawn zinc]

Not always. Hunt has sweats and meta loadouts but besides against the very best, highest MMR players. I think pretty much anyone can win a fight in Hunt with any loadout

[jaunty patio]

Hunt is real nice as you can just drop in, play a couple rounds for an hour, then go.
Hunger appears to be more like an MMO where you dedicate time to character progression and finishing quests and improving your profession, it's probably not as casual to hop on.

[queen shore]

id play hunger only if it has ghoface x malone collab

[normal radish]

its not as severe in rpgs, as you can kill a fully kitted out hunter with all perks and best guns with a single headshot

[dawn zinc]

In Hunger you will play matches where you literally cannot beat someone because they have a build that your build CAN'T beat

[pine condor]

i think hunt is pretty well balanced

[normal radish]

NAAH they must do a moses family collab or there will be a boycott

[astral moss]

A 6* saying that is wild.

[normal radish]

we still dont know that YET. sure there are some aspects like gear quality that is similar to tarkov but its like gear difference in WOW. no definite proof of that yet

[normal radish]

it is

[astral moss]

Laugh in Mosin/dolch.

[normal radish]

no weapon or gear will guarantee your victory

[normal radish]

laughs in drilling

laughs in marathon HV

laughs in evey single other rifle being almost on par with mosin

[dawn zinc]

All the character abilities scream meta build stomping. You're right we wont know for sure until it releases but I don't see it going any other way

[pine condor]

like the only thing that kinda stands out to me as "gross" would be crown king fletchette. but everything falls to map knowledge, positioning, preparation

[normal radish]

laughs in variable loadouts that render all the differences null

[pine condor]

laughs in keg trap

[astral moss]

Martahon being as good as Mosin ?

What is this take.

[normal radish]

rock HV on it and aim for the head

and its BETTER

[pine condor]

that guy def body shots

[astral moss]

Yeah and bomb lance with harpoon is better than auto-5 if you hit from 30m. 🤡

[normal radish]

just because you cant utilize a weapon to its full extent doesnt mean its bad

[astral moss]

The famous "hit the head" argument that work every time.

[pine condor]

i mean a silent shot gun has done me better than a crown king more than once

dont diss steelballs

[normal radish]

thats a build that focuses ON HEADSHOTS and supressive fire

[mild flower]

you mean mosin/auto 4

[astral moss]

Springfield vs Mosin/dolch, just hit the head bro.

[astral moss]

That too.

[normal radish]

springfield dum dum? you talking smack abt the goat too?

yeh your either baiting or outright in need of further training lol

[astral moss]

Mosin nagant vs Auto-5, don't worry i win.

[jaunty patio]

Romero Alamo Starshell though, that's something we can admit just can't measure up

[normal radish]

i mean, technically you can kill people with even that in hunt

[pine condor]

across open ground yeah? in doors prob not.

dude you have to be baiting

[astral moss]

Thermo nuclear bomb vs coughing baby.

[jaunty patio]

Maybe an AFK player or by throwing a couple hellfires first. The starshell is one of the only things that doesn't headshot people

[pine condor]

if i hear a shotgun go off in a compound, im not gonna just run in doors with my rifle build. ill reposition. is your strategy just w towards the noises?

[astral moss]

Imagine you guys think weapon are all balanced agains each other.

The "hit the head" argument when we talk about weapon potential never get old.

[mild flower]

is one of these actually faster than the other or is it placebo?

[normal radish]

a rifle, that its only strong point is greater body tap potential is not as unbalanced as youd think

[mild flower]

actually it also has velocity, clip reload and penetration.

[normal radish]

then perhaps its abotu time you started hitting heads too no? been 8 years

[mild flower]

range too, but that falls into body tap doesnt it

yeah its bait chat

[astral moss]

Bro say Marathon is better than mosin, when mosin is nearly hitscan with his stat.

[normal radish]

for pen we have fmj ammo even on long. for clip reload we have swift variants. and cycle rate of some guns is way faster than mosin

[mild flower]

FMJ makes the velo diff even worse.

velo is clearly the most important stat here

especially for your "just hit head" argument.

[normal radish]

has more ammo, reloads faster, cycles faster and can rock HV

[normal radish]

FMJ was counter arugment for pen

and i meant it on LONG rifles such as krag

but

[pine condor]

FMJ is goated.

[normal radish]

we have HV on a lot of rifles that make it on par with mosin

[astral moss]

Bomb lance one shot, Mosin didn't, Bomb lance better.

[normal radish]

and MV is a matter of practice

[astral moss]

Ouga bouga.

[mild flower]

i know. but you can't just focus on one aspect at a time like that. the velo diff is the main factor anyway

[mild flower]

not really. low mv shots have a degree of luck to them past a certain range, depending on the MV.

as a low mv enjoyer

[tall canopy]

what a chad

[normal radish]

as long as you get used to it, its negligable to a certain level. but yeh its better to have higher mv in most cases

[mild flower]

#hunt-general message

[tall canopy]

yall alrerady analized yesterdays teaser? what does it show?

[astral moss]

What teaser ?

[tall canopy]

#general-announcements

[normal radish]

i can land shots at long range better with MV abt 400 simply because im used it. for ranges between 15 and 50 mv is not THAT important either. so at least for me mv is only a side effect

[tall canopy]

latest post

[mild flower]

when the meta is to zigzag and backwards jump every 2 seconds when you're moving, having a random chance for your shot to not hit because your opponent made a movement you could not predict before you shot is absolutely never negligible.

[mild flower]

then your opponents probably don't have proper movement

as someone who also uses low mv

[normal radish]

my opponents are the literal top tier bracket this game has to offer

has been since day 1

and zig zagin wont help you much if the shooter knows how to shoot

[mild flower]

that doesn't mean their movement is good, especially since 6* became so much more accessible

[queen shore]

man in hood around 40-50 years old with shovel on back walking towards night in forest with mysterious weapon in his hand and he sees strange light in forest

[pine condor]

low key im the same, whenever i run hv i miss all my shots because ive used fmj so much. so i just stick with fmj because i main pain sense anyways XD

[mild flower]

Past the start of mid range, it's literal luck whether a low mv shot connects if the opponent is moving unpredictably.

you can't just negate luck with "practice"

[normal radish]

i have been 6 star since it wasnt "so accesible" and i have retained almost constantly

[astral moss]

And now the 6* argument.

[mild flower]

ok and? I'm not attacking your skill level, no need to defend your ego, I'm just saying it's very possible for 6*s to have improper movement.

[astral moss]

We are all 6* bro we know the kind of animals are player on this mmr.

[mild flower]

the dance gets old after a while lmao

[tall canopy]

anything u can see with the lights?

[toxic rivet]

6* worst hunt experience i've ever had

[normal radish]

it seems you did bro. and i had to prove that i can back my claims

[astral moss]

understandable.

[astral moss]

Being 6* isn't an argument.

[normal radish]

and no my enemies do zig zag, the jump they quick peek but i know how to shoot back

[mild flower]

I did not. Sorry if you misunderstood, but no need to double down.

[tall canopy]

bro get ur dark tribute rn

[copper pawn]

ha he admits you hurt his ego

[normal radish]

ah fk on it

dusters

[tall canopy]

[normal radish]

and i even cut me hand for it

[mild flower]

again. with low mv, if your opponents move unpredictably it is luck whether your shots connect past the start of mid range. Idk how many more times I will have to say it. You can't just "practice" away the concept of luck.

[tall canopy]

what an idiot. cut his hand for dusters smh

[normal radish]

hey i was promised greater fortunes

youd fall for it too

[tall canopy]

i did many times

got dolch p yesterday

hehe

[normal radish]

as i have said before, itd help, slightly. as you cannot jump multiple times in a row, and zig zaging against low mv can lowkey make you catch a stray

[normal radish]

buggers

been a week since havent got any BB

[tall canopy]

damn

unlucky bro

but tioday you get ur bbs

[astral moss]

for Venom, hitting an headshot with fanning chain pistol after 20m is a skill issue.

[mild flower]

the difference between a guaranteed hit and a chance to hit is not slightly helpful. It's pretty huge.

the zigzagging and catching a stray point just further proves my point of luck

[normal radish]

luck has literal 0 relation to practice anyway no? so what do you want to prove, that practice increases luck, MV increases luck or what?

"your enemies dont have proper movements" also has nothing to do with your luck arguement

[astral moss]

Nothing increase luck beside ring in mmo.

[normal radish]

the first one was a hand crossbow

[mild flower]

That's exactly what I'm arguing. Your point of "just practicing to hit shots with low mv" isn't completely sound, as practice cannot negate the luck factor.

[normal radish]

but thats where you are WRONG

[mild flower]

oh, ok then

my bad ig?

[normal radish]

if you know how to calculate roughly where the shot will land

wouldnt it make it less luck dependant?

its best show in using the crossbow

[mild flower]

you cannot "calculate" the way an opponent will move. that is strictly up to their own free will.

[normal radish]

has an MV 150 but its one the most lethal weapons in the game

[mild flower]

that's why it's a cqc weapon

because past cqc, it's luck based

[normal radish]

oh but i can guess, like they would run to the closest cover

[astral moss]

Me every time i shot:

me every time i shot:

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-praying-garden-grace-glory-gif-2991718784866750735

[normal radish]

its not based solely on luck, and it will only improve with practice

[mild flower]

exactly. you can guess. guessing is inherently luck-based whether you are right and wrong. It also depends the micromovements they make when they are running to that point, e.g. zigagging, backwards jumping, looking down and meleeing...

[wide whale]

There is no such thing as luck, there is only chance and probability.
If I take a shotgun and you take a knife, sure, you CAN win but odds are in my favour.
Anticipating which way someone will spin/jump/move can be predicted with reasonable certainty as they're likely moving towards some kind of cover or LOS breaking object.
But we arent AI, we cant parse that info in that time. So, it comes down to experience. Knowing which way the player is likely to move through pattern analysis. Something humans do very well.

eventually...

[normal radish]

and with practice my guessing improves, to a point where i can land shots behind cover, on moving targets and such

if i shoot a guy in a field and there is a haybale, chances are he goes to that haybale and i lob a nade before hand

or line up my perfo shot

[queen shore]

best is when u melee shotgun guy and he misses all shots after that he probably gets heart attack from sweat

[wide whale]

its technically possible

[normal radish]

statiscally not so rare either lol

[astral moss]

Yeah but when the enemy have the advantage he is more likely to win, and you would need to do 15 time his effort to kill him.

[wide whale]

I watched a solo 1v3 in the bounty lair with a railroad hammer.
I was not happy, but also amazed

[queen shore]

it happend to me or well i had random teammates like that guy missed 5 specter shots and died to spear throw from like 5 m

[mild flower]

yes, you can obviously get better at estimating where an opponent is, but you can never completely practice away the luck factor. For example, you could predict that someone will move to cover and jump at a certain point before you take the shot, but they might decide instead to look down and melee, moving their head hitbox in the opposite direction to where you predicted. This is the difference between a guaranteed shot in high velo at the same range, and a chance to hit with low velo.

[astral moss]

Lol the mmr is abyssal.

[wide whale]

Hey, it was a 6* lobby lmao

anything can happen in 6*

[normal radish]

i never claimed completely. but to a very good extent

[astral moss]

Yeah but railroad hammer.

Nah.

You would have said katana or bomb lance maybe i would beleive you, cause i do that pretty often.

[normal radish]

if im using 300 mv weapon i will lead for a 300 mv, if im using 600 mv i will lead leass.

[mild flower]

#hunt-general message here you claim that practice can negate the luck factor.

[wide whale]

Oh Ive seen the Katana plays plenty of times

First ive seen it with hammer, but man it was glorious 🤣

[normal radish]

never said COMPLETELY, as negation means lower the factor

lower it by a good margin

[wide whale]

Worst part was that team wiped my team and I just watched it as a spectator.

[mild flower]

so basically what this whole conversation boils down to is you not knowing what negate means.

[wide whale]

don't be an arse - even if you're good at it

[queen shore]

time for clash with the most stupid loadouts

[astral moss]

Imagine people use 6* as an argument to proove theyr level.

[wide whale]

All 6* means is that you have a mixxed bag of players - you'll see a LOT of wild shit in those lobbies

[normal radish]

ah whatever bro, you lost the arugment about the in game mechanic and now you go to grammar issues. classic baiter behavior

[queen shore]

like subsonic krag sniper with katana

[normal radish]

i used to counter his "your enemies dont have proper movement".

he thought im a newbie or something, and i simply said im not with proof

nothing related to ego or whatnot

[astral moss]

i mean, if you hit head shot past 50m with marathon.

He is kind of right.

[normal radish]

he aruged, i counter argued

[normal radish]

past 50 meter is even in long range yet

how is that luck based

[astral moss]

Its not if they didn't move.

[queen shore]

its not luck based its cheat 😡 😡 😡 😡

[normal radish]

brah

it has 555 mv with HV

at 50 meters you dont even need to lead lol

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-doakes-squint-stare-suspicious-gif-14432154109786838518

[normal radish]

maybe, respectfully, try practicing it with your friends in the firing range. 50 meters is not a long shot

its medium range

[astral moss]

Nah, playing a different gameplay to proove a point is boring.

Has anyone said anything about how Arc Raiders players have been moaning about getting shot by other players 😄 . God!!! Could you imagine them in Hunt

[astral moss]

• i play in 6* as well so i know how bad they are.

[simple basin]

Boy am I glad I switched off the main hunter I been running and took a for-fun hunter instead. :D Just died to a cheater

Had a pretty long run not encountering any for a while there

yeh, they thought its all fun and games till the murder squads rolled in

Hunt....Where people will actively camp your body and surround it with traps....Just to make sure you aren't getting out 😄

[normal radish]

arc raider players" noooo why did you kill me i said friendly"

well

i said UNFRIENDLY in lead language lol

i trusted people waay back in hunt and tarkov, didnt turn out well

now i murder them, turns out better

i DEAD ASS thought bosses have 2 bounty so 2 team can take it

[dire spade]

In Hunt people will chase you across the entire map just because they want to kill you that bad

😄

We need to get Arc Raider players involved just to see how nice Arc Raiders actually is

[wide whale]

Its definitely a different game.
The worst people are ones that claim to be friendly and then shoot you in the back

[normal radish]

most extraction shooters are like that

[astral moss]

Its a pvp game, i didn't even understand the point of being friendly.

[dire spade]

Arc I've had it where people have left us alone when we ran off

[normal radish]

but you have to kinda stupid to think people armed to the teeth wont shoot your cheecks off because you said friendly

[dire spade]

I'm early into it though

[normal radish]

FFS THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH LOL

[dire spade]

I'm guessing it will become more like Hunt mentality

[normal radish]

yeh probably

[jaunty patio]

Loot-focused games are a little different, if you can get away from the enemy they might just decide chasing isn't worthwhile. In hunt, all there is is PvP and bounty, so letting players get away is letting the fun get away.

[dire spade]

I'm guessing Arc Raiders has attracted a more casual audience

[normal radish]

true true

[spark plaza]

amogus

[dire spade]

Good point. Hunt isn't about loot

[normal radish]

yeh they need to clarify " your cheeks are not safe in this game shoot first ask questions from their body"

their counter arguement is "ai is too strong its PVE focused" then why are you dying to players and not ai if they are stronger lol

[wide whale]

In hunt, you chase a team down and stalk them. Its part of the gameplay and the fun.
You are HUNTERS.
And you know fine well that if you dont follow them, they'll cross your path later and they'll be behind you!

In Arc, its a looter shooter with an every man for themself vibe.
PvP enabled but a lot of the PvE content encourages cooperation and I actually enjoy it. Sometimes.
But sometimes I just want to drop, do a quest and bug out.
Then some bloodhungry arsehole gets a hard on for griefing me, even though I've clearly got no loot 🤣

Both are good games, but they are not comparable.
Like comparing COD to Hunt.

[normal radish]

yeh, i think they share SOME elements

not all

[wide whale]

they have guns and you extract

[normal radish]

traps too

[astral moss]

I am an hunter of bounty, if i team get away i would let them.

[wide whale]

how silly of me 🤣

[astral moss]

No need to be that blood thirsty when you already won.

[wide whale]

If im the escaped hunter, im gonna circle back and hunt you lmao

and probably die, this is how I lose most of my hunters

I do love playing psychological games with players though.

Engage a team as a solo, kill 1/2 and steal 1/2 bounties and then just slip away. That 3rd player is 100% running around that compound waiting to be ambushed

[scarlet plinth]

Imagine 500 word essay

[normal radish]

we escaped many many times with the bounty because they simply didnt check the map. step one make distraction, step 2 run

a lot of times they dont even notice untill we extract lol

[dire spade]

The worst griefing I got was in Dark Souls 1. Someone invaded and I just didn't see them anywhere. I struggled really hard through a difficult PVE section and finally reached the boss door to find the prick standing in front of it bowing and all that 😄

https://tenor.com/view/firelink-shrine-epicnamebro-hey-yall-hello-hey-gif-2755740464157696281

[wide whale]

I used to like invading and helping people. Then destroying them at the worst possible moment.

[normal radish]

i love souls games but damn pvp in in those is an entirely different genre

[normal radish]

i can say that i have "mistakenly" caused some falls

[wide whale]

I wasnt really a big fan of the older ones when I was younger and I struggle to play them now. But Elden ring was

Ive completed them now, but they took me YEARS

where as I no-lifed Elden ring

Said to my wife, I've booked a week off, come chap my office door next monday to make sure im still alive 🤣

[dire spade]

I loved the older ones because I was waiting for a game like that since the age of 11 back in 1996. When Demons Souls came out it was what I was looking for

[dire spade]

Sorry! 2001

A bit later

Here's a history lesson

[wide whale]

Its all good, I'm '91

[dire spade]

Blade of Darkness was like a prototype for the Souls games

But it wasn't quite right

[dire spade]

An actual boomer 😄

[normal radish]

SEVERANCE oh damn

[dire spade]

You remember that!!!

[normal radish]

why not

[dire spade]

You could cut peoples arms off

[wide whale]

This was my childhood game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter:_The_Reckoning_(video_game)
That and the LOTR one that I cant remember, was it twin towers? 🤔

[wide whale]

Pretty sure 91 is millenial - but who cares 🤣

[dire spade]

Oh you thought you meant you were 91

😄

[normal radish]

for its era it was pretty gruesome

[normal radish]

im 26 i have you know

im not boomer

yet

[dire spade]

To be honest...I didn't play it enough. I just remember thinking...someone should make that game but better with modern graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tILLusTJEZg

[normal radish]

it years for a remake

[dire spade]

Looking at this....Dark Souls is borrowing HEAVY from it

Like the atomsphere feels very similar

and the characters

(sorry....Will go back to Hunt related chat) 😄

[normal radish]

im not sure but i saw a documentary abt it comparing them

[dire spade]

I think it was the OG

By the looks of it

[normal radish]

demon souls was after this

and that was the first souls

[scenic plinth]

i think its generally accepted that dark souls is (at least partially) inspired by kings field, a game fromsoftware made in 1994 https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Kings-Field-Featured.jpg

then came demon souls etc

[normal radish]

i have only heard this in fairy tales (reels)

severance was my first souls like

and i was a lil kid playing it

my dad would smack the shit out of me for playing it since it was too violent

[mystic ravine]

Which side are we on?

[mild flower]

sorry what isn't that kind of counterintuitive?

"I don't want to expose my kid to violence"
"Let me beat their ass up"

[dire spade]

Have you seen Blade Of Darkness though? But also...I didn't know about Kings Field

[scenic plinth]

https://i0.wp.com/kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/kings-field-iv-408.png?w=444&h=333&ssl=1 this one is from kingsfield 4, which came out in 2001 same year as blade of dakness

[normal radish]

you really asking why my dad smacked me for any reason? thats bait innit

[mild flower]

I'm tryna be sympathetic

[dire spade]

I remember going to the shop when I was 12 to buy Blood (which was an 18). The store owner asked my age and I said "errrr I'm 12". He asked my friend who also said 12. He responded....."Well....I guess that makes 24....That'll be £25 please" 😄

Times were different

[scenic plinth]

shit is old aight grandpa wasnt a looker but he got the job done

[dire spade]

We grew up in an era where our parents were actively trying to pass their childhood trauma onto us....Don't sweat it 😄

Parenting styles have evovled now

😄

[mild flower]

I'm sure it still happens all the time sadly. I'm glad to be lucky

[dire spade]

Definitely. Was just joking......Kind of 😄

[mild flower]

so scrapbeak can just ram you into a corner and kill you with no escape now? could he always do that or is that new with the AI buff?

[scenic plinth]

he could when he is enraged

[night ferry]

I love hunt showdown but hunt showdown doesn’t love me

[dire spade]

That's the relationship I have with it sometimes

Is there was Christmas event coming?

New guns?

What's new on the roadmap

I've been away for a few months

Oh wow!!!

Infereno was sick

and it's coming back

They did it for Halloween once

More Hunters per match!?

(I'm looking at new features)

[tall canopy]

yes

[tall canopy]

we dont know

[dire spade]

Okay

Have to wait for it then

[serene river]

i want ash bloom back

[normal radish]

good times

[normal radish]

thats the one im concerned with

[mild flower]

same

if it's 15 in trios and 12 in duos, fine

if it's 18 in both

that's worrying

[full raven]

I'm down for more fighting right away but it will change how I play a lot

[raven totem]

we'll see

[humble depot]

man i'm so sad i missed the cool season pass choke bomb skin

[simple basin]

I'm confused, did my teammate think the enemy ran behind the wall? He may be a little blind

[wide whale]

Brain did not compute

[humble depot]

i think he got killed

[simple basin]

I think maybe he thought the one running on his screen was a zombie

He a little confused, but he got the spirit

[raven totem]

It's not mythic, will likely be on sale this winter

[humble depot]

what does mythic mean

[raven totem]

mythic stuff is old fomo event stuff

[humble depot]

like og plague doctor?

[raven totem]

yup

[humble depot]

i hate myself for missing out on that

whatever i have a better looking hunter anyways

i want this one the cicada

actually the wiki says it is mythic

so guess i'm fucked

[vale relic]

Conceptually speaking I fucking love consumable skins cause literally nobody but yourself will ever get to see them lol

And I find that is very special

[humble depot]

it's fun inspecting choke bombs with the spinny animation

if a hunt dev reads this pls put the cicada back in the store

[vale relic]

If a hunt dev sees this let me loot skins with consumable off of dead hunters who had them that'd be so fun

I mean consumables with skins

I spun my words in my own brain

[static briar]

could anyone tell me what the sneak peak was

[vale relic]

I have no idea

[tall canopy]

what sneak peak to you mean? for the chinese event hunter? the roadmap? or the teaser picture for the next event?

[static briar]

whatever one the featured message is refering too in game lol

its got a guy with a shovel on it

[tall canopy]

ah

check #general-announcements latest post

[static briar]

thats the sneak peak is just the worm bite with a different cloak lol

[humble depot]

it's probably a dlc

[vale relic]

A new mosin skin

[static briar]

yall seen the new thorn skin that just dropped

pretty nifty

[raven totem]

Sorry thought you meant the post melone one

[humble depot]

so let me get this straight

anything "mythic" which are the orange colored legendary skins

none of those ever come back?

[fathom shale]

Correct

Other than maybe recolored/otherwise changed versions

[mild flower]

Ass or yass?

[scenic zealot]

dysgenic

[serene river]

tfw you try to necro to pickup deathcheat but you don't get the option to necro

[mild flower]

dnt get me googling definitions now

[scenic zealot]

this loadout's genes are undesirable and should not be passed down to the next generation of loadouts

[mild flower]

ok ye i just tested it term shorty sucks
