hunt-general

[fleet adder]

Ah ok

I play normal 1440p all low with a 5800X3D and a 3070 and get 120 locked

Your gpu is definitely faster than mine

But ultrawide is a good bit more demanding than 1440p

[turbid cargo]

yeah, prob.. i think i may put all in medium again

at least the fps will be stable

[fleet adder]

Honestly the game doesn't look all that emazing no matter what you do

[turbid cargo]

agree

[fleet adder]

So even when I upgrade my GPU I'm still going to be playing all low

[crude acorn]

does this server has music channel or that goes to media just asking ?

[ancient cave]

#media

it's for hunt related stuff though

if you just wanna post random music #off-topic would owrk

[dense sleet]

You're good lmao I was just like "okay?" XD

[frank mason]

Hey everyone, does anyone know if im the only one experiencing the crycloud error on Xbox right now?

[crude acorn]

thank you very much

[dense quartz]

anyone figure out who the Distant Lights Dance hunter is?

from that announcement from the 13th

[crisp ivy]

not bad ay? 4767 hunt dollars in one match.

Could've easily been 5k if the last team didnt run with one of the bounties and escape from our grasp.

[mortal cove]

It's not, not even anywhere near

4060 Mobile vs 3070

[crisp ivy]

3070 is better

[mortal cove]

65% faster And TechPowerup generally uses a MaxQ version for the mobile parts with the best TDP

So if that 4060 mobile is like a 60W variant, then it will be even slower

Oh no, brother

You didn't get a 5700

Pls no

Bro got bamboozeled by one of the most anti-consumer named parts AMD has ever released since Zen 1

Your CPU is about as fast as a Ryzen 5 5500 my man

Which is roughly equivalent to a 3700X depending on the game

[south shore]

Ah yes

[mortal cove]

Man got that laptop CPU inside a Desktop package deluxe package

[south shore]

The real computer man has arrived

[mortal cove]

The 5700 is a Laptop CPU

[ionic walrus]

bro

[mortal cove]

So it also only has 8x PCIe gen 3

[ionic walrus]

thats awesome

[echo venture]

Huge fan of Immolators ignoring players closest to them in sight to chase me around a building when the enemy didn't have Shadow. Any chance Crytek could make them worse?

[forest holly]

xqc

[dense sleet]

they are different games, i dont know hwy anyone ever thought that it would bring a massive decrease in players lol

[halcyon cloud]

They had shadow😆

[dense sleet]

like ENTIRELY different

[forest holly]

i think u gotta keep hunt general, hunt related

[mortal cove]

Hunt unironically the only game in town going for objective based extraction shooter design rather than loot based

[ionic walrus]

i deleted it

[mortal cove]

[ionic walrus]

im trying to figure it out

[dense sleet]

for the moment yes

until Beautiful Light releases

[ionic walrus]

it was the roadmap

[dense sleet]

hype

[ionic walrus]

not arc

[forest holly]

waiting for that game ngl

[dense sleet]

Hunt is a one of a kind, and thats a great thing

hunt dead lmao btw

[mortal cove]

Right, Beautiful light is the only real competition Everything else seems to just want to compete with Tarkov or Arc Raiders

[dense sleet]

i mean

i dont blame htem

[ionic walrus]

hunt not dead

hunt live

big boof

[dense sleet]

Hunt is known as the "Old man games" and is known to be quite slow

its also old

[ionic walrus]

6 star aint slow

[dense sleet]

which is apparently a bad thing? even though its 1 of 2 Extraction Success stories

[mortal cove]

The average gamer don't know that

[ionic walrus]

or its the slowest

[south shore]

The ah yes was for you arriving

Puter man

[dense sleet]

and 6 star can def be slow

[mortal cove]

I know

[dense sleet]

its not a EVERY STAR PLAYS LIKE THIS kinda thing

[mortal cove]

I swear, I have a 6th sense for this shit at this point @south shore

[dense sleet]

thinking a st ar is gonna play a certain way is asinine and creates expectations and you will fall for them

[mortal cove]

How is it the moment I randomly look at Hunt general it's tech talk time?

[dense sleet]

everyone plays a bit differently, regardless of your stars

[fleet adder]

He has a 7800XT

[dense sleet]

hence why Stars should never be the end all indicator of a skill, hell kd isnt either

[dense sleet]

hey, thats what i have :3

[mortal cove]

That get's strangled by the most dogwater CPU on AM4

[dense sleet]

shoulda got the 7900xtx....

but it wouldnt fit in my case, im already basically touching the shroud of the gpu on my fans lol

[mortal cove]

This is part of the reason why going with AM4 new in 2025 is just stupid AMD has polluted the platform with so many shit products by now

• the 7500F is just.... straight up faster than the 5800X3D these days

DDR5 goes brrrrr

Too bad AI ruined memory IC pricing lol

So DDR5 and SSDs are expensive af now

[forest holly]

ill upgrade to it in a few years maybe

[mortal cove]

DDR4 is no longer an option because that is effectively EOL too

[fleet adder]

Better than a 3070 strangled by it's own vram

[mortal cove]

Not really, honestly I consider CPU bottlenecks worse

Given they tend to have abyssmal frametime consistency

[echo venture]

@halcyon cloud So when I said they didn't have shadow, you took that to mean they had shadow? Is this a translation issue?

[mortal cove]

WHy do you think I always got the fastest CPU in town despite playing at 4K?

Gotta avoid them CPU bottlenecks like the plague man

[mortal cove]

It would be a lot better of a card if Radeon decided to release the INT8 branch of FSR4 for RDNA3

RDNA3 with usable upscaling would be neat

But Radeon in their infinite wisdom decided screwing over their customers is better

[dense sleet]

sure

[mortal cove]

to sell a couple more RDNA4 cards

[dense sleet]

i know what you are saying

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-mhmm-marshmellow-gif-23367954

[mortal cove]

If they wanted to Radeon could SINGNIFICANTLY increase the quality of using FSR on your graphics card.

[halcyon cloud]

What? I meant they might had shadow perk on their hunters

[mortal cove]

To the point where using Quality mode would look similar to using the highest quality Anti-Aliasing in Hunt For like 25-30% higher framerates

Same when you upgrade DLSS to preset K essentially through the Nvidia App or NVPIR

But alas, Radeon unironically manages to be more anti-consumer than Nvidia recently.

[south shore]

This is how I know chat will be safe for a while

[whole mist]

^

[echo venture]

@halcyon cloud I am telling you they did not.

[halcyon cloud]

Yeah my bad I’m sleep deprived af

Well the AI was always weird choosing it’s target tbh

Nothing new I’m afraid

[civic ruin]

I had 5k game today as well hehe

[forest merlin]

Servers crash for anyone else or just me after I picked up death cheat 🙃

[hallow chasm]

anyone else having server issues

[forest merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[compact ore]

just got an anti cheat error and got kicked

[forest merlin]

It's happening...

[mystic marsh]

same

[forest merlin]

Amazon web servers are dying again 2.0

[vernal brook]

🙁 Sato and I both disconnected the first time... and this time it only kicked me

I don't think it gave us an anti cheat error

[forest merlin]

Yep happened again

[hallow chasm]

same

[forest merlin]

servers are down, for US West at least

[vernal brook]

we are on East

and it's doing it too

[hallow chasm]

yeah

wtf

[forest merlin]

Yup servers are dead

Back to ARC Raiders 🤣

[icy elbow]

Arc servers are down too

[forest merlin]

Wait really?

[icy elbow]

wonder if there’s an AWS issue or something

yeah

[tame torrent]

two games in a row

damn

[tulip shuttle]

Same bro

What’s happening lol

I thought my cheats were detected but I haven’t been banned yet 😡

(I’m joking btw) but what is actually happening here

[vernal brook]

ooof you are brave to admit something like that as a joke....

[echo thorn]

yeah bro I agree

[tulip shuttle]

Nice sense of humour guys

[echo thorn]

yeah right bro, now tell the mods that

[vernal brook]

no i mean i chuckled at it and thought it was a joke... but still brave xD

[lyric plume]

😐

[tulip shuttle]

Why are the servers die

[forest merlin]

Server outage again

[tulip shuttle]

Why

Who caused this

[forest merlin]

Not sure what specifically but similar to the amazon web server outage it seems

[elder falcon]

i did

[tulip shuttle]

Was it Hindu magic???

[echo thorn]

give me money back!!!!

[elder falcon]

i caused the server outage

[tulip shuttle]

Stop it now ✋

[elder falcon]

ok 1 sec i'll try

[tulip shuttle]

Stop doing that ✋

[elder falcon]

It's wednesday so it could just be a steam issue tbh

[icy elbow]

Steam maintenance is typically Tuesday

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was an AWS issue

[elder falcon]

well shit i guess i'm more think than i drunk i am

[icy elbow]

Arc and hunt both went down at the same time and both use AWS iirc

[forest merlin]

That's my suspicion

[hazy crest]

The arc raiders chat is blowing up goddamn

[forest merlin]

The finals is also down currently so yeah most likel an AWS outage

[forest merlin]

We're much more civilised here

[hazy crest]

I think there’s just fewer people to complain rn

[mild flower]

again?

[hazy crest]

They have to slowmode here when there are updates that take server down

[forest merlin]

Yeah, Hunt is a much smaller community atm haha

[hazy crest]

It gets just as bad

[mild flower]

trust me, during populated hours, this chat riots when servers go down

[forest merlin]

[hallow chasm]

eu is fine yeah but us east and us west are fucked

[tame magnet]

I dare you to leave chat again - I DARE YOU

[tulip shuttle]

Are the servers fixed

Eu is NOT fine

[tame magnet]

NAE is fine for me on tarkov

[tulip shuttle]

Heinous

[visual charm]

guys how did i do this

[forest merlin]

where did you get this damage report??

How do I get this view 0-0

[icy elbow]

it’s the old one

[forest merlin]

is there any way to see it now or nah

[tulip shuttle]

So bunt isn’t working?

[icy elbow]

Wish they would re add % of pellets hit

[forest merlin]

Yeah that's what I was wondering

I want to see if there's a damage report for all damage not just recent damage

[icy elbow]

I think it’s like the previous 90 seconds or so

[forest merlin]

Better yet... give me a full map replay pleased thanks crytek

[tulip shuttle]

Would u say a loadout worth 554 is budget?

[forest merlin]

no

[vernal brook]

it seems fine the last 2 games

[tulip shuttle]

300 is budget?

[forest merlin]

no

[tulip shuttle]

Tell me how much then

[forest merlin]

🆓

[mild flower]

yes

[tulip shuttle]

Thank

[mild flower]

whether it can be labelled "budget" doesn't really matter though

just the number itself

[forest merlin]

budget or bust

$102 loadout

[mild flower]

any consumables?

[forest merlin]

toolboxes in world 😎

[tulip shuttle]

Servers still down??

[forest merlin]

the springfield and nagant are also just free from the free hunters as contraband

so it's technically a $40 loadout

[tulip shuttle]

If ur down to ur last 40 dollars something is seriously wrong here

[junior badge]

Have the addressed the absurd amount of rubberbanding on US East? Mentioned it at all?

[tulip shuttle]

Bro what does this mean check media

[mild flower]

the game had a launch error

yw

[hazy crest]

Game is down rn from what people are saying

[mild flower]

it's not down for me [oce, asia]

im playing right now.

must be a murica and eu issue

[hazy crest]

Possible

[mild flower]

see im playing rn

[hazy crest]

Whatever aws is I’m no tech expert

I didn’t @ that person just showing that ppl are saying it’s down

[mild flower]

[deft panther]

Sad violin, played last night and only got 1 team other than ourselves in every match

[jovial gate]

https://tenor.com/view/twd-the-walking-dead-rick-grimes-say-what-gif-14346911

Hunt: Showdown

...

1896

[mild flower]

That's OCE. That's why we server hop to Asia

[jovial gate]

https://tenor.com/view/distraught-disturbed-life-walking-dead-rick-grimes-gif-14113578347688331709

[deft panther]

Played some infantry last night tho, that was fun

[rocky citrus]

Guys, I recently returned to HUNT and found the game optimization to be fantastic, with many bugs fixed. Overall, the experience is great. Thanks to the community and developers for their hard work.

[jovial gate]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-grimes-reading-cry-cry-reading-gif-8255461089117806650

...

[rocky citrus]

What surprised me most was the game's excellent graphics optimization. Even on a low-end PC with an i7 10700F and GTX 1070, it maintains clear visuals and a stable 80 FPS, a significant improvement over previous gaming experiences.

The most noticeable improvement is that the game's textures are no longer as blurry as in previous versions.

[hazy crest]

Why use ai

[dense sleet]

its min spec has increased and allowed Crytek to focus on pure optimization overall and not try to cater to 12 year old rigs

[rocky citrus]

Okay, but currently my old PC runs it better than the previous version.
Hopefully, Crytek will continue to maintain its high level of game optimization in the future.

[dense sleet]

you can most likely thank upscaling tech for that one

[deft panther]

Gotta love upscaling tech

[rocky citrus]

The game optimization is currently excellent, and hopefully it will continue to be so in the future.

It would be even better if the quality of Asian servers could be improved in the future.

[mild flower]

whats wrong with asian servers? i play on them but i'm from oce so i just blame everything on cross-region lag

[unique trail]

Who is on team plow

[rocky citrus]

I'm from China, but the game server is currently unstable and keeps showing a very high ping.

[mild flower]

https://discord.com/channels/350201607788429323/1438936851594350686

[unique trail]

No I meant who here on the server is playing for team plow

[mild flower]

yea just figured you wanted to join it

[mild flower]

by plow do you mean redneck rampage

[unique trail]

I dont have any of the red neck family hunters

[mild flower]

you can still join the discord role, it just shows who you are rooting for. i dont have them either

[unique trail]

Plowshares and pitchforks

[twilit cypress]

is there a way to only go against bots for awhile im new and i dont think im ready yet lol

[unique trail]

Fella I dont even have a profile pic

[mild flower]

the teams are "Redneck Rampage" and "The Sowers"

For some reason the event name is different

[mild flower]

look at mine lol
i am you, but devolved

[quaint rock]

Servers are all lagging and unplayably bad on USE right now

[mild flower]

my pfp is what yours will look like in 1000 years

when you wither

[unique trail]

[mild flower]

It doesn't hurt

[twilit cypress]

is there a way to only go against bots for awhile im new and i dont think im ready yet lol?

[rocky citrus]

Guys, I just went through a tough battle, but the game servers are relatively stable for now. Occasionally, I need to use a VPN to stabilize ping.

[ornate gyro]

holy crap servers are so laggy for me rn

[rocky citrus]

I remember giving feedback to the developers in the community before about the new hunter skin, and I didn't expect the official team to actually make it.

[cinder heart]

same here servers been rough for me these last 5 days

[quaint island]

I have to congratulate anyone who is in charge of $/servers on this game, never in 4 years that I played this game I had to extract 3 times in a row because server was unplayable on US East, hopefully it is not the bald guy in charge.

Rubberbanding and lagging is my passion

[rocky citrus]

The reconnect function doesn't seem to work very well in this game.

[dense sleet]

it doesnt work

i never trust it

ive played for 8 years and would rather it just be gone

[agile grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E16b8dMfRzc

[full jungle]

How have I just now realized that’s what your profile pic is..

[mild flower]

wow i like the sketch ones so much better

are the sketches also ai?

[agile grove]

made with hand and animated with ai

[mild flower]

cool

[keen ermine]

Crycloud error

[ionic bison]

servers dead?

[keen ermine]

oh Steam itself went down

damn

[austere coral]

It's just Crytek

[warped palm]

It is steam doofus

[high marten]

servers died...

[mild flower]

is berserker a burn trait now? i just threw an axe at spider once with berserker, it did like 3/4 of its health then i threw it at it 3 more times and it each of those times it did almost nothing

at the weak spot

[ancient cave]

it's just scarce

sounds like you just put spider into a rage

[hazy crest]

spider frenzy

takes like a fifth the damage

[patent cobalt]

I got kicked from crycloud error but not my teammates 2 games in a row

[south shore]

No you've just been bulking up lately.
Keep those gains going, king.

[mild flower]

ah ok

good to know

[leaden herald]

Btw I wanna be a 65 carbine fanboy for a sec

I love it

Ok fanboying over

[whole mist]

Lul

[raven totem]

Was it while it was enraged?

[mild flower]

Yea figured out that was why.

Didn't realise rage reduced damage that much

[raven totem]

Ya bosses aren't worth messing with in rage other than assassin

[tight shadow]

how would this work?

[frigid ibex]

I think butcher is also worth it if you know how to circle him

[frigid ibex]

Someone has to show us now

🙏

[raven totem]

Only reason I don't like doing that is its a commitment and you get rolled up on you have to finish it

[frigid ibex]

Yeah also you don't want to get rushed

Worst situation it can happen

[raven totem]

Yup

[distant atlas]

does assassin's rage even end if you don't fight it

[hazy crest]

No

[mild flower]

Killed someone with chariot earlier

I used it and we both had bounty and were forced to the same extract, had a pretty lengthy fight

[mortal cove]

One reason is because Crytek implemented AVX2 Which will raise CPU performance drastically.

On top of adding other features like direct storage to make streaming assets easier

[hoary swallow]

man, I have a friend who just bought the game isn’t there anyway for me to play with him? If i go in his lobby
Matchmaking gets weird and he might get into a lobby which has players that has more than his stars (sorry for my bad English)

[distant atlas]

there's bots in huntshowdown?

the more you know i guess

[hoary swallow]

i wanted to teach him the game and bc he is a newbie he doesn’t understand what to do in some situations i wanted to play against players and learn from experience but sadly as you told we cant, man i hope game had something like soul survivors but with friends

[raven totem]

They're newer and only show up in newbie lobbies

[distant atlas]

are they any good

[hoary swallow]

Fr

[distant atlas]

they used to have that tutorial level with like 4 compunds, would be nice if you could play that against bots

[hoary swallow]

i was tired to play solo queue
And i wanted to play with some close friend and now we’re stuck at this point

[distant atlas]

kid named smurf account:

[raven totem]

Typically duo que will have mixed lobbies in your situation

[fiery spindle]

steam down?

again?

[onyx turret]

So anyone know if there are Any phones in any of the maps? Like the old style rotary phones?

[distant atlas]

there might be one in the delorean

[distant atlas]

yessir

at least for me

[onyx turret]

Well I cant go in the delorean lmfao but if you mean the barn its in........ hmmmm

[hoary swallow]

I know but im 6 star and my friend just started the game
Even if game put us in lobby with 4 stars thats not fair for him
I can get kills or clutch in some situations but you know with new players it’s always hard to play your best
and ig our last option is to go bounty clash with free hunters

[distant atlas]

but frfr I don't think there are any

[hoary swallow]

I’m just scared that he lose interest just bc lobby is high stars than him and he cant play well

[onyx turret]

FECK! im trying to do a black phone edit with the fool as the skin. Got axe kills too for it but without a phone in the game I gotta think of sonthing else

[vale relic]

Who wants a beetle

[onyx turret]

I named my beetles that one is Jack

[distant atlas]

i'd check lawson station

[vale relic]

Pleasure to make Jack's acquaintance

[onyx turret]

On it

[distant atlas]

if there are any phones that's where i'd assume they be

stalker beetle skins pls

[onyx turret]

NEVER MIND STEAM IS DOWN OVER HERE TOO

The universe just hates me bruh

[distant atlas]

ROCK AND STONE

[fathom shale]

https://tenor.com/view/drg-steeve-deep-rock-deep-rock-galactic-my-beloved-gif-20215886

[onyx turret]

I got you, Jack the stalker beetle, his brother Jimmy the choke beetle and their cousin Johnny the fire beetle

[vale relic]

I love my beetles

[onyx turret]

Same

[hoary swallow]

I wish game had like seasonal rank change like any other normal game fr

[vale relic]

Hunt ranked?

[onyx turret]

Alright steam back up, loading into a match solo to see if I get to find Lawson delta, another place yall think a phone might be?

[hoary swallow]

Just imagine 😂 😂

[vale relic]

I don't think mmr decay is a thing

I took a two years break was still 5 stars myself

[distant atlas]

same

but it also doesn't really take that long getting used to the game again

[ancient cave]

there is no decay

[vale relic]

This is true

It did take me two years to realize that Berthier is my favorite weapon

[distant atlas]

except I was 6 stars and not 5

just felt like I had to make that known

[vale relic]

Also banger xion pfp just wanted to throw that out

That hasn't been my experience

[distant atlas]

thanks I stole it from somewhere

[ancient cave]

they heavily policed allat because people kept purposefully mmr dropping

[distant atlas]

oh yeah not gonna play the game for a year to get 3 easy matches against 2 stars

[vale relic]

I guess for kd obsessed people it allowed to drop their mmr without getting killed

[ancient cave]

it was more of a stray caught when they changed mmr drop in general

[vale relic]

Also why is mmr hidden aside from the last match screen?

Or is the menu just that bad I can't find it

[ancient cave]

because the ui is amazing

my headcanon is they're trying to secretly make people stop caring about their mmr tho

[vale relic]

You know I don't think there has ever been a time when this game had a good ui ever since I started playing

[ancient cave]

the ui is fine right now just with some weird things like mmr

[distant atlas]

the forest background was good

[ancient cave]

you can only see your mmr from your last match, so technically you never know what it truly is

[vale relic]

I suppose

Not that important

Just wondering cause it used to show it

[distant atlas]

because you could drop flares while waiting for a match

[forest holly]

Now that anyone is 6 star, can't really gauge someone's skill (besides their kd perhaps)

[ancient cave]

now that the lobbies are fill over fair and the deadtimes for many servers is half the damn day it's a free for all have fun

[vale relic]

Is there any gun that is currently actively bad

[distant atlas]

i've only seen dodging due to kd or lodoauts

[ancient cave]

there are no bad guns really

there are guns that are out performed by other things that fill their roles

[distant atlas]

not really but you'll never catch me with the normal nagant pistol

[hoary swallow]

Man im a 6 star but some 6 stars scare me fr
Im not that kind of a player who goes around and kill people through the wall just by sound queue, leave me alone😭😭 why should i play against these people

[vale relic]

Nagant revolver is tried and true

[forest holly]

Alamo

[distant atlas]

and mosin match is just a straight downgrade from mosin

but still not bad

[vale relic]

Less expensive

[distant atlas]

skill issue

[forest holly]

Well the normal one is basically the same and cheaper, skill issue ❌ money issue ✅

[vale relic]

Beetle best thing to have ever been added

We need poison and flash beetles

[distant atlas]

scottfield is kinda ass

[vale relic]

Is it

[distant atlas]

we need nitro beetles that ohk

I mean it still 2 taps so not really

[hoary swallow]

What about gassy bettles

[distant atlas]

alamo has a cool loading mechanism though

[forest holly]

I hate the 6 stars that act like 3 star, how do I perform better than them after not playing for a few weeks

[vale relic]

What kinda gass

[forest holly]

True but takes 3 eons

[distant atlas]

good things take time

[vale relic]

Patience is a virtue especially in a gunfight

[forest holly]

Indeed

[vale relic]

I wanna play hunt now

Bht it's 10 am

[forest holly]

Too bad

[vale relic]

There will be literally nobody online

[forest holly]

To hunt, one must prioritize sleep

[forest holly]

Free bounty if u queue rn

[distant atlas]

look if you have 20 seconds to reload an uppercut then you got 5 to wait for alamo cycle

[wheat pilot]

Cho ku nu is ass

[vale relic]

But I want to shoot peeeople

[vale relic]

I like it

Also technically not a gun

[forest holly]

Random teammates will be ur victim

[distant atlas]

that's what I thought and I went exclusively against +2 kd people

[vale relic]

Tragic

Yesterday was a very bad run for me

I lost 4k hunt dollars trying to finish the weekly challenges

I need to make up my losses

[wheat pilot]

Also I feel like default variants of some weapons should have some more advantages other than being the cheapest. Like why would I run the default officer when the brawler exists

[hoary swallow]

saving 10 hunt dollars ☝🏻🤓

[vale relic]

That's how I feel with the aperture guns tbh

[wheat pilot]

Yeah those too

[vale relic]

I can just toggle the aperture off if I don't need it

[wheat pilot]

Really only the scopes have considerable disadvantages

[vale relic]

Yeah

[forest holly]

Vulture is calling ur name

[vale relic]

Managing to extract with a bounty would help

Things keep going the way they went yesterday you'll find me grinding soul survivor and beg for spare change

[forest holly]

What about clash

[vale relic]

"Springfield? Nah can't afford that"

[distant atlas]

if you really just need money you can farm AI and get the event registers with pledge marks

ez 5k

[vale relic]

I'd do that but it's so boring I can't bring myself to

I'd rather use free hunters until I kill enough people

Or get good I guess

[distant atlas]

then clash with vulture

[forest holly]

Yuh

Shouldnt be to hard

[distant atlas]

rival and spitfire you'll thank me later

[forest holly]

Just hope a random doesn't bring only bare fists

[vale relic]

I need another person to play this game with the only friend that does play doesn't come on until 5 pm

[forest holly]

I would if I wasn't anti social

[distant atlas]

the amount of people who bring free hunters in with nothing added in 6* is crazy

[vale relic]

I'm also on playstation

[distant atlas]

like my brother in sculptor, you have over 300k in your balance

[vale relic]

When can ps people invite xbox people crytek

[vale relic]

Capitalism

[wheat pilot]

I always at least buy fusees and the 18 dolla dynamite

[forest holly]

I personally would bring more than just medkit

And better weapons

Instead of Winnie and hammer

[forest holly]

[vale relic]

I haven't heard that name in years ...

[distant atlas]

don't even mind the default winnie just bring the shitty dynamite and a vit shot with it

I tried learning the new names but i keep calling them winfields

[vale relic]

Same

[forest holly]

I actually used the Winnie for the first time in like a year, it wasn't too bad ngl

[vale relic]

It's like

Infantry 73L
Frontier 73C(?)
Ranger 73?

Why the name change

[distant atlas]

big L honestly

[vale relic]

I liked my winfield, midfield and bigfield

[forest holly]

I'd call all of them midfield

[vale relic]

That's just rude

[forest holly]

Ur right

[vale relic]

Put some respect on the bigfield's name

[forest holly]

Im sorry

I used to main Winnies back in my day

When I was 4 star average

[vale relic]

The winfield is a reliable rifle

[forest holly]

Before the 1896th update

[forest holly]

True

But compact ammo

[vale relic]

What server would have people online at this time?

[forest holly]

Uh

[vale relic]

I don't usually run compact myself but it's not unviable

[forest holly]

Probably somewhere in asia

[vale relic]

Asia I think my ping would actually be too high

[distant atlas]

EU

[vale relic]

I play in us east without problems usually cause that's where my duo lives

It's 11 am in eu I doubt anyone is on

[forest holly]

But where do u live

[vale relic]

Eu

[forest holly]

Oh

[distant atlas]

i got into a match pretty fast

[vale relic]

Suppose I'll try

[distant atlas]

winfields should get the iron eye rof as default back

[wheat pilot]

I feel like EU is always alive I get games in EU servers even at 3 am on a wednesday

[vale relic]

Fucked up

Any of you play solo bounty hunt?

I usually do soul survivor if I'm solo

[distant atlas]

you mean quickplay

[mild flower]

yes, bounty hunt is the only gamemode that gets any players in oce. occasional players in clash

[mild flower]

solo bounty hunt is also the single best way to prestige imo

[wheat pilot]

Man online gaming in oce seems like it sucks

[vale relic]

Do you avoid fights or look for em

[wheat pilot]

Im every game i see people from oce saying they have trouble finding matches

[mild flower]

yes.

[mild flower]

yes.

[vale relic]

Aight I'm queueing up

Infantry 73L and railroad hammer gaming

[mild flower]

depends on my mood,

If I'm trying to grind levels for prestige, I'll either look for fights if I'm feeling frisky or advantageous or just fight anyone who comes across me but not actively seek them out.

If I'm not grinding levels for prestige, I'll look for fights

[mild flower]

good luck

[wheat pilot]

My favourite free loadout is the nagant precision with double nagants

[vale relic]

Thanks

[vale relic]

Nagant precision lowley goated the thing has never let me down

I guess playing more solo bounty hunt will force me to learn how to hit my fucking shots lmao

[forest holly]

Try sparks

[distant atlas]

solo v duo is surprisingly easy when you don't get actual gods as enemies

[vale relic]

Mm bar halfway full and no matches

Oh I just found one

Aight let's see how this ends

[distant atlas]

as long as you drop one, then it's 1v1 except you can self rez

[forest holly]

Thats what I think but ppl said v trios is easier, but I ain't good enough against 3 guns, at least I don't think so

[vale relic]

Later peeps

[distant atlas]

later mr beetle

[forest holly]

Get some hunt dollars for me

[mild flower]

it lets me down more than it lets me up with its 3 shot kill sometimes

[distant atlas]

I used to really enjoy 1v3 before I had a long break from hunt

idk what changed but now i can't do it anymore

[forest holly]

Lock in

[wheat pilot]

Sparks is overrated imo, I feel like except for long range exchanges the martini is better

[mild flower]

movement is super imporatant for 1v3s

[mild flower]

i think they're balanced enough equivalents that it's purely preference.

[distant atlas]

in this house we salute the sparks and kneel for the conversion pistol fanning

[mild flower]

a lot of it just comes down to what sights you prefer

[distant atlas]

martini has bad velocity

[mild flower]

it doesn't really, that's a common thing people say but it actually has like average velocity

people are just spoiled by high velocity long ammo bolt action weapons and centennial @forest holly

[forest holly]

That's what I'm saying

[wheat pilot]

Fair, they aren't that different. But the sparks has a slower rate of fire, less ammo and no riposte so I feel like the martini is better suited for close/mid range fights and pushing compounds or boss lairs

[distant atlas]

it does though

[forest holly]

Might as well be chucking the bullet myself

[distant atlas]

even with high vel martini is lower than sparks

[forest holly]

It's long or nothing

[distant atlas]

and the dmg falls off hard with high vel

[mild flower]

typically that's how it goes down, martini is simpler to use imo, sparks has to kind of be played around to make use of its advantages

I prefer martini

[forest holly]

Ill start using martini then

[distant atlas]

as a tactical breaching tool (fast fingers and explo ammo) the martini is great

[forest holly]

Ill see if y'all overhype it

[mild flower]

martini has bad velocity if you're used to mosins, centennials, sparks etc

not in general though

[forest holly]

My spear is my universal tool

Good for breaching barricaded doors too

[distant atlas]

4 throws gang

[forest holly]

It's universal

:)

Multipurpose

[wheat pilot]

Also martini has the cool factor imo lol. It looks good, the animations are satisfying, riposte is badass and the history of the gun is interesting af

[distant atlas]

im not even that used to high vel guns

[mild flower]

whenever i think about the martini just think about zulu wars

[distant atlas]

it's just that if i take a gun with a sniper scope i want it to actually hit 100m away

[forest holly]

Yeah but the Brits used it tho

[distant atlas]

riposte is kinda cool i'll give it that

[wheat pilot]

Yeah and the story of how they tried to modernize it to keep up with magazine fed guns is a good read

[mild flower]

ironside?

[forest holly]

I think so

[wheat pilot]

That and all the ammo conversions

They transitioned the gun from black powder ammo to smokeless powder which is really weird

[mild flower]

why is that weird

[wheat pilot]

Watch the royal armouries videos on it, it's a long story but they tried really hard to keep it in service

[mild flower]

good luck throwing a bullet at 400m/s

you realize that means you can shoot almost halfway across the map, and have the bullet take only 1 second to travel there?

[forest holly]

I wasn't serious 🦧

[mild flower]

ik

[forest holly]

Ur doubting me

[mild flower]

i'm just saying it's not that slow

[forest holly]

[mild flower]

1 second to travel 4/10's of the map

[forest holly]

I think the min velocity id prefer to use is 400

For when I ain't fighting in compounds

[wheat pilot]

The silenced 1865 with fmj is an experience for sure

It has like 220 velocity

[mild flower]

low velocity is like winfield and below imo

[mild flower]

it's nearly at the same velo as crossbow steel bolts lmao

[distant atlas]

trueshot has a higher vel

[forest holly]

Is that faster than new army fmj?

[wheat pilot]

Yeah it legit feels almost like a bow or something. On something like a new army which u use in extreme cqc it's not as noticable but when your primary has such slow velo you really feel it

[rocky citrus]

Guys, I've encountered a fatal error: when I put on my headphones, my teammates' voices come through the speakers, but I can't hear them through the headphones themselves, although all other sounds play normally through the headphones.

[wheat pilot]

I think so but barely

[rocky citrus]

[distant atlas]

new army fmj is 200

[forest holly]

Slower than bow or something?

[distant atlas]

i only know cause dumdum and fmj vel is the same

[distant atlas]

pc?

[rocky citrus]

yes

[distant atlas]

maybe try completely disabling the speakers

[rocky citrus]

Restarting the PC did not solve the problem.

[rocky citrus]

Okay, I'll give it a try.

[forest holly]

Maybe check output in game settings

Game and chat audio can have separate tracks

If enabled I think

[vale relic]

There was another team of two and that's it

I killed them twice each

But then got fucking domed

Unfortunate

I don't like brickworks

[distant atlas]

only 1 team?

in duos or trios

[normal radish]

ah brickworks, my favorite compound

why, because we farmed a single team fora whopping 14 kills

[vale relic]

Duos

Empty lobby

Literally just me and them

[normal radish]

sometimes its so they can play the game since their severs are either dead or non existent

[vale relic]

Maybe they want empty lobbies

I feel so bad

I queued up

Got an empty lobby except for a solo

We spawned literally right next to each other
I heard him and he didn't

He went to collect a clue and I shot him in the head

And that was it

Poor soul

[wary flower]

Wow

[vale relic]

He played a whole minute and thirty seconds before getting killed

[wary flower]

Side that isn't giving a mosin skin is winning for once

Lets see if that lasts

[mild flower]

if someone is discovered to be cheating, is their effect on the pvp event removed?

cuz surely some rage cheaters could really strongly affect it

[unique trail]

Rip

[vale relic]

Hunt taketh

[icy bay]

Blind and deef

[empty eagle]

Are you looking at steam? Cause its also really easy to fake a profile as being from elsewhere. I don't really feel like getting into it but more often than not it's someone who put a bunch of stuff on their profile to get rage.

Or it's low hours on their server and like others said, they switched to have players. 2 people in a server def screams low pop hours lol

[mild flower]

personally, i hop to asia quite often as an oce player

oce is dead

[leaden siren]

Is hunt showdown dead?

[raven totem]

what are you asking?

[leaden siren]

Just wanna know if the game is dead or alive so I can redownload it

[raven totem]

go look at steam charts

[leaden siren]

Sadly I’m on console I don’t have pc, I am getting steam cube tho

[raven totem]

still relivent as it gives you an idea on roughly how much activity a gmae might have. most of us are on pc here so I can't speak on behalf of console but I assume it's doing fine.

[scarlet plinth]

I’m finally home…

Time to Hunt…and to Showdown

https://tenor.com/view/sinners-sinners-movie-gif-8308784763207550462

[acoustic gorge]

what is the state of this game rn after arc raiders ?

[normal radish]

almost identical to how it was in the final stages of the previous events

slightly less populated

[acoustic gorge]

i did not play in 4 months :

all my friends quit idk why

[normal radish]

well bf6 and arc raiders did a jolt on most games

most of the migrants will return to their home-games soon

but i think a good portion will also stay

unti hunt's next event i dont think we see any spikes in players.

a LOT of good games have released

[acoustic gorge]

yee

[jaunty patio]

It's hard to tell if other games had any impact on Hunt's playerbase yet, since players leaving towards the end of the event is well documented. When the next event starts in December (likely the 10th but we'll see) we'll be able to see what the peak playercount is, and whether it's been lowered by interest in other games.

[acoustic gorge]

they sure did 4 of my friends stopped playing hunt to play arc raiders !

[normal radish]

i have a category in my friends list that is just hunt players, and now i had to rename it to arc raiders lol

it does have an impact

which is to be expected

its a fresh and good game

and hunt is in the burnout phase

[jaunty patio]

That burnout phase is why I kinda discount other games stealing players, they probably would've been playing something else anyway. I'm interested to see how many players actively want to play BF6 or Arc or whatever rather than play the start of the next event

[round nova]

i do not think these suggestions mattered at all. but i had a look at some of my old suggestions that area now kinda in the game in one way or another

[empty cedar]

wtf it used to cost bloodbonds to respect

[round nova]

unforetunately we cannot see how far our kills were

[tall canopy]

yes

[normal radish]

it used to cost bloodbonds to clean guns

and I FKING SPENT THOUSANDS

hehe

dont regret it

[frigid ibex]

They actually look at feedback. Many stuff has been added from player suggestions

[tall canopy]

but u would get tons of bbs by just playing

[frigid ibex]

Including weapons

[round nova]

ah i think i only sent a couple weapon suggestions

[jaunty patio]

You used to get bloodbonds from just playing matches, like 3-5 on a good match, so the game economy was balanced around that idea

[normal radish]

i had instances of getting 10

[round nova]

oh i was looking for this. knew i put thjis once before

[normal radish]

but on a full lobby wipeout

[round nova]

oh i think this one actually happened?

[jaunty patio]

The ladder's almost exactly where you're pointing in that screenshot too

Oh wait nvm that's the west side not the east, idk if they put one in there

[normal radish]

ther is one

i think

orr wait

[fathom shale]

I think only on the inside side

[normal radish]

its ont the side of the building

its on side right side, it goes on the long ahh building form inside

[round nova]

imagine we still had the old legendary hunter screen... 3 on each screen

[tall canopy]

theres one at the west side too afaik

[astral moss]

This ladder is a headshot machine ngl.

[frigid ibex]

The ladder got cracked aim damn

[round nova]

i dont think this happened right?

[astral moss]

No, i mean you see a guys going up blocked in the animation for like 3sec.
That's a death sentence in most case.

[frigid ibex]

How many suggestions have you made

[tall canopy]

its not showing onwed skins anymore

[round nova]

when i ctrl+f from:islarf

there's 7 pages

[tall canopy]

165 💀

[frigid ibex]

Make more suggestions than voncs amogus

[normal radish]

i think the answer would be " yes" from islarf

[raven totem]

gawd damn

[round nova]

hope this one happened 😠

[normal radish]

i have made only 1 i think

[tall canopy]

still thinking about you free roam 💔

[normal radish]

how do i bring it up in that channel

it only brings my general msgs

[round nova]

ctrl+f from:(name)

[normal radish]

tanks!

[round nova]

in:#game-ideas

[astral moss]

Title: Buff melee.

[round nova]

oh i think this one actually happened

[normal radish]

this is the only one i made i think, i have reported a lot more bugs that ideas lol

[tall canopy]

lets give us more overall stats first pls 😭

[fair stag]

Hiding dlcs would be cool too....looking for a bloodbond skin but 80% of the items are dlc skins

[fathom shale]

This is my biggest wish still

[round nova]

my most controversial suggestion

[fair stag]

Also when you view the skins for a weapon in the Armory it should show all skins there so you don't need to trawl the store for one varient

[fathom shale]

Lmao the timing

[normal radish]

i had HIGH AS FK hopes for the 1896 update, i was disappointed

imagine you pick up a gun from a dead body, and it has 100 etchings on it

now thats centenial

[tall canopy]

i mean this kinda looks like they give us more stats

[fair stag]

4 years ago I suggested this and it just got added damn

[normal radish]

yeh, its been some time though

[astral moss]

I hope some badges are buyable with real money.

More money for cryteck.

[tall canopy]

doubt

well

maybe

if we now also get batches in battle passes u can kinda buy them

but whats the idea behind a badge u can just buy

like wow

[jaunty patio]

They're 1000% becoming a new type of padding in BPs

[tall canopy]

u spend money

will be interesting how we show the badges to other players or if we can just see them ourselves, but it already says increased player expression

[normal radish]

i need me a beetle kill badge

and a spear throw kill badge

would be great if they actualy show what ive done up untill now

the results would be horrifying lol

[tall canopy]

u can already see a badge for a fire/hellfire bomb so im sure tools get badges too

but i dont think it will be one for melee and one for thrown kills

[normal radish]

sadge

[tall canopy]

i just hope we dont all start at 0 😭

[normal radish]

i have exactly 1 kills with choke bomb explosion

[normal radish]

same

[tall canopy]

same haha

[normal radish]

i havent been playing for 8 years to recieve 0 :(

[tall canopy]

lets see

i mean we´re most likely less than a month aways from the next event

[normal radish]

yeh

i want my glorious 1 explosion kill with choke bomb in everyones face

[tall canopy]

no clip?

[normal radish]

i got the clip and SS

[tall canopy]

post it

wanna see

[normal radish]

the clip needs to be dug up but i can get you the ss right now

1 sec

[jaunty patio]

December 10th is my expectation, since they put an image teaser out already and they usually release those either 21 or 28 days before release date, and this image was 27 days before Dec 10th.
If I'm right, we'll see a video teaser and event title release on the 26th.

[normal radish]

here ye go

later if i found the clip ill post it too

i could kill him 10 times with gun, but i had to make it happen

sacrfice for the greater meme

[tall canopy]

dis mine, pure rng xD

[tall canopy]

man i hope. but the roadmap says theyll start the seasonal model in 2026. maybe we will have a week between

[normal radish]

we are choke killer buddies now

that dude depleted his luck surviving two lemat shots, too bad there was more in store for him lol

[tall canopy]

the rng to hit them 2 times to deal 149dmg. i still dont know wich limbs i need to hit for that :D

[normal radish]

it was before the multiplier changes wasnt it?

[jaunty patio]

Maybe, but the only time they've teased an image that early was Tide of Shadows which had the extra questlines hyping up Rotjaw, every other event for the last two years has teasers a maximum of 29 days before.

They might just break the pattern though, who knows

[tall canopy]

that clip is old af

[normal radish]

yeh i rewatched and noticed

mine is old too

as you can see krag dealt 124 damage

[tall canopy]

i love teasers so i hope u r right :D

[tall canopy]

wait

is it dealing more now?

was it 126?

[normal radish]

yeh it does 126 now

and has more ammo

[tall canopy]

damn in my head its still 124

[jaunty patio]

1.16.2 buffed it

[tall canopy]

i even sometimes still pus a krag with 125hp

[normal radish]

bro is nostalgic

[tall canopy]

well

and i thought i know numbers

[normal radish]

they do say ignorance is bliss right?

i bet you won at least some of those

not knowing the fact

[tall canopy]

maybe

they still need to hit upper body

[normal radish]

yeh, gut shot wont kill

[fair stag]

I thought with the multiplier changes they made it so upper/lower chest is the same now?

[fathom shale]

!multipliers

[graceful hedge]

Hunt: Showdown 1896 damage multipliers (please note that damage values in the menu show the damage to upper torso, so the upper torso multiplier is already applied): https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/420219125198225408/1429591288654725221/image.png?ex=68f6b223&is=68f560a3&hm=735b3228d91db5db4f0946f0cfc55f733562f88255411cd50196b60ec9948868&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[tall canopy]

damn. nerf uppercut

and bring back explo bolts to the xbow

[fathom shale]

Nu uh

Make more custom ammo scarce

[tall canopy]

nu uh

[normal radish]

the got co-fuked because frag arrows were being spammed

[fathom shale]

All of the dumdums and incendiary and poison

[tall canopy]

make diiba scarce

poison is already scarce

[normal radish]

and the dum dums that matter are scarce too

[fathom shale]

Bring back the good fights in Hunt where they were actually people shooting at eachother and relying on aim and positioning rather than all these gimmicks we've gotten ever since custom ammo was added

[tall canopy]

just nerf the dmg or something and dont delete them :(

[jaunty patio]

Springfield Dumdum matters in my heart

[normal radish]

ah yes, when hunt 20 players in total and they were spread across 4 servers

and it almost died

[fair stag]

Holy

[tall canopy]

Give Diiba his Hunt: Classic Server

[normal radish]

world of hunt craft: classic

player count: 1

diba

[fathom shale]

Gonna be the better one like oldschool runescape

[tall canopy]

i mean old hunt was fun, but man i like current hunt

[normal radish]

it was fun, but barely survived on life support.

[fathom shale]

There's definitely improvements, but actual gunfights were far superior in old Hunt

[normal radish]

i could play for days and play the same 20-30 people

[fair stag]

Give us current Hunt with old Hunt playstyles

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[normal radish]

you mean quick swapping?

[fathom shale]

No, but idc if it comes back

[normal radish]

that was in old hunt

you could chain 2 shots instantly with maximum accuracy

[fathom shale]

I mean when applying status effects or doing AoE damage like with explosives required a consumable most of the time instead of having like 20 bullets that all apply a status effect/blows up

When traps weren't buffed for no reason to the point where you can put instakill traps all around the map

[normal radish]

oh btw crossbow explosive was here since begining

or at least very early

[tall canopy]

yeah xbow shotbolt and xplo were its own variants

[normal radish]

yep

nitro could 1 tap at 300 meters

[fathom shale]

I know it was, still better than what we have currently

[fair stag]

Back when whiteshirts had less health so a sparks was always a 1tap

[fathom shale]

And by old Hunt I don't mean literally reverting every nerf/buff ever

I just hate custom ammo and how it ruined fights for me

[normal radish]

that i agree

[fathom shale]

Also traps, they just keep getting buffed for no reason

Darksight satchel was mostly fine with the louder audio, then they decided to make it more quiet AND add an event POI that makes ambient sound that hides the satchel audio almost entirely

Because yes of course

[normal radish]

as long as there is vigilant in hunt, traps are not a threat

[fair stag]

Too many perks now to consider bringing one for traps

[fathom shale]

Yeah I'm not gonna act like things are balanced because of 1 trait existing

[jaunty patio]

Dauntless takes up my vigilant slot on new hunters

[normal radish]

its 1 point

[jaunty patio]

I'd like to have at least 9 points for other perks

[fair stag]

Dynamite satchels are dumb as hell though, the only audio you get it when it's exploding (other than the quiet hiss which is drowned out by audio as Diiba mentioned)... at that point it's way too late

They nerfed shadow leap though and made it take 20 billion seconds to cast, yay

[fathom shale]

Also the new mini barrels, why do they spawn so often, they should be way rarer

Like wtf is this

There was a 4th one at the top too

[fair stag]

Alert mine wet dream

[normal radish]

there are 15 trait slots, and most of single perk point perks have phenomenal effect

[fathom shale]

15 which of I keep for more universally useful traits

[tall canopy]

i would be ok witht the tiny barrel dealing less then 150dmg

but how about other barrel variants in tiny

flash barrel

flash beetle

[normal radish]

dauntless renders most explosives uselss, vigilant renders 6 different item sets, that are vast in numbers useless. how are they not universally effective

[tall canopy]

flash handxbow bolts

[normal radish]

no

[fathom shale]

Where did I say dauntless wasn't one of them

Vigilant is situational, you can go multiple matches without seeing traps

Dauntless I can get use out of almost every match even if people aren't throwing things at me

Since I use it to put out my own flares and such

[stone basin]

I swear everytime I am in here everyone is just saying how much they hate this game…not surprising honestly

[normal radish]

you didnt say it was among them

[normal radish]

thats why they are called TRAPS

[tall canopy]

noone said they hate the game huh

[normal radish]

not pre scheduled meetings

you can see multiple traps in 1 game

and none in 10 games

and you only need 1 in a trio

[stone basin]

And by “hate” I mean complaining about the smallest things ever in human history

[fathom shale]

Ok? Not really relevant to my point that the reason I don't bring the trait is because there are traits that will get more use than it

[mild flower]

Also the event POI has a token thing that you can literally hide a satchel completely inside and it also has a dark sight highlight so you can't even see the satchel in vigilant

[normal radish]

name them

im interested

[tall canopy]

i would say discussing

at least rn

[fair stag]

Some people are just bizarre with their trait picks....I once had a random who said he'd hands down pick magpie over doctor if it came to it

[stone basin]

Honestly I get kiteskin and whispersmith every game so I have no room to talk

[normal radish]

because that person might get the use of the perk that you cant imagine, being creative with it

[jaunty patio]

Doctor isn't as must-have as it used to be between regen shots and four shot boons

[raven totem]

You have to be right on them to die to them. Dealing less would render them useless in that regard

[jaunty patio]

Some fights go on too long and you'll regret not having it but a lot of the time you either die quick or kill quick and end up not using your medkits

[fathom shale]

Just one example of a random screenshot, if I was using fanning or a bolt action or such then I would be using those too, also I always leave 1-2 slots open for burn/scarce traits since they are so powerful in fights

Also missing some like frontiersman

[fair stag]

Yeah that's true, if you don't mind sitting for a minute everytime you get tagged

[mild flower]

If they dealt 149 or something then the tripwire traps would still kill

[fair stag]

Which isn't my playstyle at all

[jaunty patio]

Small medkits are fine for that if you need to heal up quickly in a fight then let regen take care of the rest

[mild flower]

Nah it's just that you still use the medkit, and by the time you finish medkitting regen has already almost filled the rest.

[raven totem]

Like if people want mini barrels deleted say that

[fair stag]

I'd still rather be back in the fight instantly rather than waiting or risking a long ammo one tap

[stone basin]

Why would people want mini barrels deleted they dont even make that big of a change to traps/fights.

[mild flower]

You can still use your medkit it'll just take a few more seconds for the regen to finish the job.

[normal radish]

you already have 2 burn trait in that, if you omit 1 except necro youd have 3 slots left, and if you are bothered by traps so much (and i know you are) dont you think bringing see through goggles to render them entirely useless just in case?

[jaunty patio]

Even so, you're not picking up Doctor on a new Hunter, are you? People have gotten used to playing without it and see that they can still do fine. I still pick it up when I can but it's not a must-buy to me anymore.

[fair stag]

I'm not saying that's a bad strategy, I'm just an aggresive player so I'd like to save even those few seconds

[raven totem]

The nerf everything crowd makes me chuckle sometimes

[normal radish]

this is sooo real....

[fair stag]

Nope, I usually take necro, resilience, and a flex (iron eye 90% of the time) in team play and necro/surefoot in solo

[normal radish]

probably why hunt will die much sooner than it should

[fathom shale]

As I said it's just one example and doesn't even have my full trait setup, I just don't want to bother making a comprehensive list for you so took a random screenshot that had most of them

[stone basin]

Die to something, come in here “thats bs nerf it”

[random nimbus]

Im definitely on the nerf a lot of weapons crowd

Power creep is real

[jaunty patio]

Nerf bows or triple their price

[mild flower]

Price doesn't help, could js make it 3 slot at least

[distant atlas]

I also have a dislike for custom ammo

[jaunty patio]

Price helps a little, makes me feel like Romero Shorty Slugs actually have a reason to exist

[random nimbus]

Price gatekeeps more than anything.

Doesn't make it weaker tho

[normal radish]

and i dont oppose your picks, they are solid, however you are bothered by something that has a clear cut solution to, and as per your screenshot, i can see you have room for that. and if your too bothered by it, why not ask teammate? for example in our team we have 1 guy who brings serpent and poltergeist AS prio perks.

[fathom shale]

And I am saying that a trait shouldn't be a solution to a wider issue with traps

[normal radish]

what issue, isnt it falling to them?

[fathom shale]

Instakill traps existing in general, instead of fixing existing trap placement exploits where they were virtually invisible due to being inside terrain/some other mesh they added more options to place them in, instead of looking at people not being happy with dark satchels + alert tripmines even when they were more audible since they still blended in the background audio sometimes, they added mini barrels that you don't need to use any slots for and are completely silent

That's my issue

[raven totem]

I wish we could Play 1.4 and reassess this statement

[fathom shale]

They clearly favor trap playstyles and want to keep making them more and more accessible, I find trap styles boring and harmful to the fights since they make them less direct

[stone basin]

Lmao

[raven totem]

Add something to think about

[fathom shale]

I want people to actively fight eachother and participate in the matches, not lay some traps while noone is around and then sit on the edge of the map waiting for others to walk into them

[normal radish]

well okay thats fair, im not gonna judge. im just gonna share how i counter traps

[raven totem]

Only swing simulator allowed

[fair stag]

"The game is called Hunt Showdown, you have to Hunt the players before you can Showdown with them" - Dennis

This quote pretty much sums up Hunt and how slow it's gotten recently

[normal radish]

first i detect them with vigilant, then i either disable them by shooting interacting, or render the explosive ones temporarily ineffective using choke bombs, thats how i have dealt traps. its my solution

and i dont really favor traps either, however i dont gatekeep fun for other people

its in game, not cheating

if they use it, i counter it

thats the sweet part of hunt for me

its not some mindless run around guns blazing game

you can active HUNT people without shooting them

[fathom shale]

I'm not gonna act like placing traps and watching netflix for 30 minutes is a valid playstyle, sorry

If they want to do something on the side while watching netflix they can play runescape or something

[jaunty patio]

The main problem with traps is that if they don't kill or burn a bar then they're not worth the slots. If you place them somewhere and aren't able to meaningfully benefit from them cause the guy hits the trap, walks it off, and heals before you can shoot them, then it's just pointless to bring them in, unless you want to use them as temporary barricades for the boss compound, which is the most boring way to use em.

[fathom shale]

I specifically want traps to be something you have to keep an eye on to get use out of them

As in you have to finish the kill when someone walks into one

Instead of being able to leave 7 instakill traps on the other side of them map while you AFK on the other side of the map

[jaunty patio]

Few people will be willing to go for that, they'll just treat it like the flash bomb and pick up throwing spears or pennyshot or whatever else is more usefull. So ultimately it might be good cause there'll be less traps in the game, but it also means the devs aren't able to fulfill a part of the game they want to develop.

Bear Traps are a good example of this, when they got nerfed they disappeared overnight

Cause they're not worth a tool slot

[fathom shale]

Good, they were overtuned as hell initially

Being able to 2 shot hunters was insane

When you could place them right next to eachother and most of the time trigger together anyways

[empty cedar]

we need you on the dev team pls

[fathom shale]

Was even faster of a instakill trap than the concertina plus poison combo

And I already hated that

[jaunty patio]

and had no counter like antidote shot, ye

[fathom shale]

Another thing with traps is, I don't mind them being individually even stronger than currently, but the issue comes from people combining them

[normal radish]

i rather fight 200 million legit trappers than 1 single cheater, they utilize something fairly implemented. also it makes curves in a rather flat and bland playstyle.

[fathom shale]

Poison is pretty much useless by itself, you have to combine it with either concertina or bear traps

[normal radish]

it puts a brake on aggresive players like myself

[fathom shale]

I'd rather see the individual traps be ok and then prevent placing traps right next to eachother

[normal radish]

rather than mindlessly jumping around and suppressing with just firepower, i have to watch where i step

BUT i do like the idea of population limit on traps

like battlefield

it doesnt allow to saturate areas with mines

that could be usefull in hunt

[fathom shale]

Another thing that I just remembered, even with vigilant people can place dark satchels in spots you cannot destroy them from without explosives or such, so if you don't have one and someone has managed to hole themselves in with placements like that you are forced to go scavenge for a dynamite stick or such

[normal radish]

you can temporarily sabotage them with chokes

[jaunty patio]

That could definitely be a way to go with it. Imagine if you couldn't combo traps and they just buffed traps up like bear traps slowed you down longer or poison trip mines did 100 damage and left you vulnerable for 15 seconds or so.

[fathom shale]

Assuming I brought chokes

[normal radish]

i also assume its a trio match we talk abt

[fathom shale]

It is, still don't bring them though

No one in my team does

Pretty much all of us go spear, medkit, penny derringer and flare pistol

[stone basin]

I feel bad for you
