nice!

[upbeat bear]

Now buy tons of Nitro Express

[queen shore]

through the years already had plenty of nitros now collecting contrabands

[upbeat bear]

i have this

[lofty cargo]

When KD changes? I am usually playing solo and been wiping teams so at least 3 enemies per game but for some reason my KD stopped at 1.02 and does not change in any direction. How come?

[upbeat bear]

Getting 3 kills without dying increases your K/D, but if you die even after killing many, your K/D remains the same.

Although I don't really know, this is just what I've seen so far while playing.

[lofty cargo]

Can be, I sometimes die and rez with Necro, then I wipe rest of the team. So that might be true, only 0 death gets this up

[upbeat bear]

this is mine

1.16

[queen shore]

yeah thats good, i remember my hunt beginnings lmao when i struggled bit with money and after old prestige started from ground with 2000 dollars was kinda fun challenging

[upbeat bear]

I remember how often I used to buy those tier 3s for 800 hunt dollars haha

[queen shore]

ye same

[woven cape]

[upbeat bear]

I still remember when the spider was actually scary, haha, now it seems like they're even doing speedruns

Right, why did they remove the flashlight?

[queen shore]

yeah

[queen shore]

probably because no one used it tbh it was good in early hunt but in high mmr lobbies it had no use at all and it revealed ur position, but yeah they should just keep it in even when it has lowest pick rate just like spy glass

[upbeat bear]

i see

[atomic coral]

Has anyone seen them post about the laptop giveaway?

[lofty cargo]

is that community event for killing spiders still up? how are we doing?

[leaden herald]

[whole mist]

how common would it be for two different players on separate teams to have the same first name in game? Just a coincidence?

🤔

[quasi bridge]

There’s a 1/2000 chance

According to statistics I just made up

[harsh raptor]

i had one today that i killed then she bugged into a bed then shot out the open door at mach 12

[harsh raptor]

same steam name? or what name

[clever flare]

i been getting more kills with my fucking scottfield than my martini henry

what does that mean

does that mean i suck

[whole mist]

I’ll just use fake names for this example, but it was like:
SwampJohn

SwampJoe

[harsh raptor]

nice

yeah that guy just made up the statistics for you its exactly 1/2000

[harsh raptor]

that means you have to use pax trueshot instead of scottfield because its cooler

and +7 damage also i guess

[quasi bridge]

I use watever cooler gun skin I have

Sometimes I wanna use a different gun but I got no cool skin for it

[harsh raptor]

sping field marksman and pax trueshot with full dumdum is the way

[quasi bridge]

Wat about Springfield 1866 and pax regular dumdum

[harsh raptor]

i like the original ones too so thats not really an issue for me

[quasi bridge]

The addition of fast fingers was the best thing that ever happened for us one shot gun users

It’s a game changer for close quarters combat

[harsh raptor]

yep its very nice but the long ammo change kinda sucks

you cant bring split ammo

[quasi bridge]

You mean the ammo reduction?

Wth when was that

[harsh raptor]

my bad lemme rephrase

[quasi bridge]

Ah yeah u mean for ff

No split ammo

[harsh raptor]

the animation to change ammo is long

sorry

lmao

[whole mist]

I completely forgot FF was in the game

[fleet adder]

Super super not worth running split with FF

[quasi bridge]

Damn

[harsh raptor]

yep so i just bring all dumdum with pax and i get 30 ammo reserve

[cinder elm]

which ones better, the crossbow or the hunting bow?

[quasi bridge]

Something I’ve noticed is the ammo reduction when using ff

[harsh raptor]

both very good

[cinder elm]

is the crossbow just more of a close range

[quasi bridge]

Yeah probably

Cause damage drop off

And it’s one shot

Not to mention the long reload time

[ocean briar]

I truly hate this bug to revert you to bounty hunt after you play clash

[quasi bridge]

Damn

[harsh raptor]

crossbow for faster reaction and longer range, bow for bigger secondary gun and noscope

its really accurate from hip

[quasi bridge]

Isnt xbow damage drop off big at range?

[harsh raptor]

bow 1tap torso at 28m crossy 35m with normal bolt

[opal dawn]

Bow can 1tap further than that

[harsh raptor]

yeah mb site bugged its 28

i think

[opal dawn]

Yeah, and like 32'ish with hundred hands

Bow = RoF. Xbow = Velo

You can be faster with the xbow

Run around, no need to wait for full draw

[harsh raptor]

and yes forgot to mention i think its 225 ish mps with steel bolt

though that has a few m less 1tap range

[opal dawn]

Not anymore afaik

They buffed it, now there's zero reason to NOT run it apart from getting a couple of bolts with normal

Steelies are great tbh

[harsh raptor]

also you can kinda add a few m to one tap distances because at that distance its still medium bleeding which kills them if they dont bandage instantly

[harsh raptor]

yes it has about the same velo as new army which is funny

i run that crossbow deadeye with steelies any day

[void geode]

i need some good gun skins

[pale nymph]

I just experienced the most blatant cheat ever. guy was looting, didnt even know me and my teamate were there. I shot him with a crossbow from like 40ish meters. Dude instantly turns and auto-headshots my teamate in the most insane robotic snap shot ive ever seen. This game is going to die if this keeps up.

[dreamy cave]

dies

Lol welcome to video games bruh

[inner briar]

when players are close the screen will glow orange in dark sight even if you dont have the bount, but what is the activation distance for this mechanic?

[pale nymph]

Classic gaslighting deflection comment. Sad.

[dreamy cave]

Lol whut

[pale nymph]

Ah you're in US servers, I see.

[dreamy cave]

Thats just me not taking you serious is all

[pale nymph]

okay good for you

[dreamy cave]

Theres like 10000 people a day that say "the games gonna die" and they've been saying that since it started lol

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-dramatic-gif-24607395

[fading burrow]

The glow at edge of the screen ('Instinct' effect) will only trigger if you have a bounty token, but regardless of whether you still have remaining boosted Dark Sight from the Bounty Token.

[pale nymph]

Yeah maybe its hackers keeping the game alive. Hacker Showdown 2025

[fading burrow]

As for the actual question, the trigger range is 75m (there's an indicator icon while in Dark Sight)

[fleet adder]

It's had the same average players it's had since 2018. And cheaters have existed and will always exist in a multiplayer shooter game

[pale nymph]

lol okay so we should just accept it

fantastic mentality, i get why we are cooked

[fleet adder]

What would be better is not lose your mind every time it happens. Just report and go to the next match or take a break

[dreamy cave]

You act like the devs dont ban people. Cheaters will always be in video games.

Even huge popular games

[void geode]

ive seen 0 blatant cheaters in my 500 hours

closet cheating couldnt tell u

[fleet adder]

They exist but are pretty rare in this game

[pale nymph]

Clearly not enough. But then again you guys are US. We are dealing with some heavy sh in EU.

[fleet adder]

It's in every game, the devs don't want them there as much as we don't. It's a constant back and forth nothing you can really do besides report the player and hope crytek gets em

[void geode]

one death no big deal

run it back bruh

[pale nymph]

You guys don't understand, It's every other game man. Come to EU servers.

Im not crying about one game, im getting cheater fatigue.

[void geode]

acting like 0 cheaters everywhere else

[fleet adder]

I've played a bit of EU and never had anything blatant happen so far. I do believe one of the sus moments I've had was EU tho

[mild flower]

Start recording your games, then
Not only to post here with names blurred if you want to prove these claims, but also to give crytek proof and actually get the people banned.

[void geode]

us west has a large asia population

[pale nymph]

honestly I think I will

[void geode]

idk what the point is

[fading burrow]

2.5k hours, EU, never seen any super blatant 'robotic snap into instant headshot' cheater.
Definitely possible I've run into plenty without really knowing, won't deny that.

[pale nymph]

I find that difficult to believe

[mild flower]

If you get videos of the cheaters, crytek could be more likely to ban if you send the video to them

!report

[graceful hedge]

If you would like to report a player, you can do so on the Team Details tab in your Last Mission section on the home page. Select the player -> Open Profile -> Report. It is also accessible in the Last Match tab at any time. If you have additional proof you would like to provide, you can find out how to reach out to official support here: #customer-support

**Please note that you can still report people even if you don't have their SteamID or cannot open their profile by providing your own SteamID, time of the incident with a time zone and region on the Hunt Showdown website (link is in the in the Customer Support channel). **

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

[pale nymph]

Whatever it is, I hope dec 11 comes with some sweeping changes to address this. Heck if it's not an Issue anymore you wont hear from me again

[fading burrow]

Same way I find your accusation hard to believe without video proof.

It could be true, but without video proof, who really knows other than the (supposed) cheater?

[pale nymph]

You dont have to believe me its okay

[whole mist]

I have changed my steam profile to attract funni comments 👺

[fleet adder]

Anime pfp and random phrases in Chinese characters?

[wheat pilot]

Im also EU and I've only seen a semi-obvious cheater once

[solar cove]

Nahh east has a few walling nerds

[wheat pilot]

But im not even 100 % sure. He kept shooting at me and my teammate through a wall but only hitting like 1/5th of his shots so maybe just not afraid of wasting ammo on audio wallbangs

[strange walrus]

Hmmm, this Conversion Chain Pistol is super wierd xD

Server Issues, Europe before this. ^^

[pale nymph]

I mean someone trying to wallbang you cuz you've been heard is a totally different thing than some of the shit ive seen

[plush jacinth]

Hey. I am thinking about getting this game but I mainly play solo. Is it solo friendly, or am I going to run into teams?

[pale nymph]

Ive seen some inhuman "reaction headshot" shots. Nobody, not even the best players can do shit like that.

[wheat pilot]

@pale nymph Tho I get what you mean to an extent but like every major online fps right now has cheating issues. It's an industry wide issue. R6, cs:go, delta force, even valorant. In each of these communities Ive seen people say their game has the worst cheating issues more than once

Its just really bad in every mutliplayer fps rn

[pale nymph]

Yeah and it is sad and pathetic, but just because its a wide issue it doesnt mean we just have to sit down and take it. We need to demand more severe punishments for cheaters and push people to come up with solutions.

It is important, otherwise why even play a game

[wheat pilot]

Yeah but people are already complaining about it every day. Not saying they should just keep their mouths shut but I don't think there is much more that can be done

[tall canopy]

its kinda solo friendly. in the beginning u will most likely loose most of the time, but there are a few factors that solos can benefit from

there are also many solo guides by some creators u can watch before

[wheat pilot]

Also there is no way to play solo vs other solos

you will always play against duos or trios

as a solo

in the main gamemode

[plush jacinth]

alright thanks guys

[wheat pilot]

there is a special gamemode called soul survivor which is solo only but it's much less populated and not the main focus of the game

[fleet adder]

There isn't much that truly can be done. Cheaters are a different breed. They will buy new steam accounts. Run vpns, spoof hardware IDs, and the cheats themselves constantly evolve to beat the anticheats when they update. And it just constantly goes back and forth

[hasty wharf]

what is weird about this?

[thin fable]

Bomb lance is showing for the chain pistol on the left

[hasty wharf]

ah, that it is

[agile mauve]

is the shooting range not working for teammates?

specifically duos?

[tall canopy]

it should

[bold relic]

i WISH MATCHES LASTED JUST A TAD BIT LONGER

all caps was accident

[tall canopy]

#feedback

it was 60 mins once

[bold relic]

yeah 60 is the best imo

I'm not mad or anything just wanted to state my opinion

[tall canopy]

they changed it to 45 because nearly all matches ended earlier

its all good :D

[bold relic]

I was in a fight and ended up killing 4 hunters but the time limit ran out and I couldn't extract in time, leaving the bounty bc the boss banishment would take way too long I just ran but didn't make it

[tall canopy]

that was one match

[unique trail]

Trios 1 teammate ran in and died right away. 2nd teammate died to a guy coming out of the compound. I then killed him shortly after.

Both of my teammates ended up quitting like within 2 mins when I was still very much alive.

I ended up finishing off the boss solo, got a token. Went to spider nest and got that token. Then on my way to extract I came across a dead trio, which i looted

Im like p13 level 25 I think. Want to prestige once more before new event

[scarlet plinth]

Prestige more

Reach the top

Kill….everyone

[bold relic]

that is true but I think I remember enjoying the longer match times, more than once my duo partner and I end up fighting against the clock, even if they make it 50 instead of 60 I tihnk it's help

[thin fable]

especially your teammates, theyre holding you back

[mild flower]

We are not sitting down and taking it. Action is already being taken against cheaters constantly

[raven totem]

Don't you play in Asia NotReal?

[forest holly]

I love it when teammates run in a compound after hearing 3 autos

While only having crap weapons

Like nice job peaking a corner when u know they got a 1 tap shotty

[random nimbus]

[agile mauve]

keeps searching for a third so it wont load up

we gave up

[tall canopy]

well noones looking for team in the shooting range

[ancient whale]

I wouldn't mind if it was at least 50 minutes but 45 is fine

[agile mauve]

thats what im saying, its looking and we dont need some random we just wanna test some weapons and warm up before running a match...lol its def bugged then

[tall canopy]

have u set ur team to duos?

if not try this:
leave the party, go to Shooting Range mode and then invite ur friends

[agile mauve]

brother, theres not an option to choose that in the shooting range lol. we gave up cuz its bugged. if you know way lets join and you show me

[tall canopy]

yeah, but have u tried the other way i described?

[hasty wharf]

thats weird, i had that happen once but just cancelling and restarting it put us in as just two. maybe try selecting duos/team of two or whatever in bounty hunt then swapping to the range

[plush jacinth]

I’m just downloading the game…. What am I getting myself into??

[hasty wharf]

getting into post malone

[fleet adder]

Some of the most satisfying headshots in the biz

[knotty obsidian]

4 teams of 4 coming in next update

[tall canopy]

what

[plush jacinth]

Any recommendations on a good gun to start with?

[ancient cave]

ranger 73

[tall canopy]

weapons like the vetterli centennial or any compact ammo weapon like the ranger, marathon and infantry are nice at the beginning

good rof, okay damage, good bullet drop range

[plush jacinth]

Thanks

[tall canopy]

feel free to ask any questions mostly in #game-questions if many ppl are active here so ur messages dont get drowned before someone can see them! also check out the links in the pinned messages for useful stuff (:

[raven totem]

just increased lobby sizes, ala more teams, no 4 persons teams as of yet

[tall canopy]

sometime next year

[raven totem]

I do not wish to se 4 person teams in hunt

[knotty obsidian]

Marathon

[empty eagle]

Honestly play with all of them

Different guns click with different folks

[molten gyro]

Play the 1865, the reload sucks ass but man it’s fun to use

[bright girder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/498955727449358348/1443780416418086922/Hunt_Showdown_2025.11.28_-_01.44.30.09.Player_downed.DVR.mp4?ex=692a50cb&is=6928ff4b&hm=05b9b5305df46956e03b4bb69c53ce9f0876822b893b568fc63667dab74e87c0& fought a genuine pair of stooges just now xddd ggs guys

[unique trail]

...and lost

[bright girder]

we both lost because they both killed themselves

I didn't say that to call them bad or something

[south shore]

Posting this is a choice

[bright girder]

I only posted it because I thought it was funny they both killed themselves trying to kill me reviving :( they were a duo I don't rly understand whats wrong with that?

[mortal basin]

That’s amazing 😂

[fleet adder]

The reload is honestly pretty decent. It's not great for quick top ups but it's one of the fastest reloads from empty/close to empty to being completely full again

[molten gyro]

yeah its not so bad from zero but any topping up sucks

[fleet adder]

Pretty much only swift models and mosin beats it

[unique trail]

Oh

[molten gyro]

it feels so good to shoot that the reloading doesnt bother me all that much anyway

[rocky citrus]

Guys, I'm wondering if HUNT：Showdown learn from Battlefield 4 crosshair color indicator, like the red for headshots and orange for body shots, with player customization. Also, HUNT could learn from Battlefield Hardline's UI hit location indicator for character deaths, making it easier to see which part of the body was hit and how much damage each part took.🤔

[mild flower]

Except nagant

[scarlet plinth]

Wuh…

[mild flower]

Hunt should not have these. Not having exact clarity on those things without listening out for audio is part of the game and builds tension.

If you get a headshot, you get a unique hitsound fyi

So listen out

Although it is a possibility with the direction crytek seems to be taking the game

[rocky citrus]

I don't think borrowing these two features from Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline will affect the game's balance. During firefights, you can clearly see which part of the enemy you hit, and after your character dies, you can also see which parts of your own body have been damaged.

[mild flower]

There are situations like wallbangs that make it unclear where you hit exactly. With the latter feature, it is important that it's only after death. It doesn't give any of that information while you're up

[heady dove]

another post malone event?

and he's an assassin's creed character this time???

[mild flower]

Yes :)

[heady dove]

when I saw encore being used in a game title, all I can think of is fighting games

it's correct but I've never seen encore used outside of fighting games, I think it's skull girls

[rocky citrus]

You forgot that the crosshair color feature is great for allowing you to clearly see which part of the enemy you hit during a match.

[heady dove]

yeah skullgirls 2nd encore

[mild flower]

Yeah, I don't think that would be a good thing.

[rocky citrus]

🤔 ok

[heady dove]

I can see why it'd be bad

keeping it the same for everyone stops even the smallest of advantages

[mild flower]

It kills some of the uncertainty in the game, and uncertainty is the bringer of tension. Tension is a key aspect of Hunt.

I see it being good in other games, but I don't think it'd fit here

[rocky citrus]

Okay, I think at least the damage display is something HUNT should learn from and emulate, so that after your character dies you can clearly see which part of your body the other person hit.

I think this design is cool.

[mild flower]

Hunt already has that, though. After dying, you can press the "damage history" button, and it shows all the damage sources of body parts you and your opponent hit on each other

Granted, it is very buggy

[rocky citrus]

Okay, I didn't even realize this feature existed.

[heady dove]

I remember the bugs after the ui update

I think there was like mosin slugs or some bullshit

game making up loadouts

[mild flower]

Here's an example.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401019644938289153/1429797864074117220/image.png?ex=692a3447&is=6928e2c7&hm=ee9f98bebbfa5f8174b75e76826788e29eaf0550a2332a08dd5911bd04a34b42&
It could be more clearly communicated that it's there tbf

It shows inbound and outbound damage on you and the enemy who killed you.

[mild flower]

This lowk made me want a bolt action shotgun

That would be kinda cool

Were they around?

[rocky citrus]

Yesterday I encountered a bug where my character got stuck on the table and couldn't move due to network latency. Worst of all, when the network was unstable, the game would disconnect, and reconnecting took a very long time, severely impacting the gaming experience.

[heady dove]

that's less a bug and more a server infrastructure issue

the thing I'm describing is 100% a bug

without a doubt

it was really funny though

[rocky citrus]

I don't know if Crytek has already discovered this problem and is seeking a solution.

[rocky citrus]

ok

[rocky citrus]

Yes, that's the function.
They really did it.
cool

It would be even better if they were willing to learn PUBG's match replay function and techniques to prevent clipping between character models, buildings, and walls.

I previously discovered that character models and weapons would clip through some buildings, causing their positions to be exposed.
PUBG solved this problem very well.

[thin fable]

iirc there were some but not all that popular

[rocky citrus]

This is the effect of a hunter getting soaked in the upcoming 2.6 update; that familiar realism is back.
lol😋

[heady dove]

(chinese) AI (chinese)

[west crystal]

Very off topic thing, but still relevant, but is there somewhere I can go to get a clean view of every Legendary Hunter's animations?

[rocky citrus]

Maybe they really will add this wet effect in the 2.6 update.

[young horizon]

Is NAE just getting fucked right now

servers are horrible

[mild flower]

This is fake. The hunter's hair would not be wet anyways, seeing as there is no water that deep and people get banned for using spots to get their head under.

[ivory cave]

Twitch drops again? We eatin good

[thorn wraith]

it appears to be

I can't extract

really loving the broken server event guys

[rocky citrus]

This is just an AI-generated effect; while it looks very realistic, it's uncertain whether Crytek will add a similar wet-body effect in version 2.6.

[mystic cape]

Omg CRYTEK FIX YOUR DAMN SERVERS!!!!

[rocky citrus]

Another thing I noticed is that the scenes in the Crytek Hunt: Showdown trailer are all very dark. I don't understand, were their lighting technicians being lazy? Most of the scenes are so dark that you can't see any details at all.

🤔

It's like some modern movies that add special effects to deliberately darken the scenes, making them blurry. Frankly, I don't understand this approach at all. It makes the movie lose its sense of realism, which is why so many modern films aren't as realistic as older movies.

To be honest, I can't wait to buy this hunter.😋
Hopefully it will be the Hunter DLC.
Although she will most likely be a pass hunter

[mild flower]

I can tell

I don't think it's very likely, as they have expressed no interest in doing so, and most likely they would have done that in the 1896 engine update if they were to do it. But yeah I guess there's always a possibility

[ornate gyro]

is anyone else on east coast getting insane amounts of lag and buffer, or is that just me

[mystic cape]

Nope happening here too

[ornate gyro]

so its just a server issue? whats the deal?

[rocky citrus]

I've seen some videos on Chinese media platforms introducing the 2.6 update for Hunt: Showdown. The video creators mentioned that Crytek will add a wet effect for hunters in version 2.6, possibly in rainy scenes, so I'm not entirely sure if they'll actually do it.
However, I hope it's true.
Also, the current rain effects in Hunt: Showdown are fantastic, and the sound effects and overall atmosphere are excellent.

[mild flower]

is it from crytek themselves? otherwise I wouldn't give it any merit

[rocky citrus]

This was mentioned by some creators on Chinese video websites; I'm still unsure if their information is accurate.

[desert acorn]

The Cyclone always do 124?

[mild flower]

unless sources from crytek are listed, i doubt it is accurate

if they were relaying info from crytek, they'd have sources. or is that not how it is in china?

[rocky citrus]

I also encountered a strange problem while playing HUNT.
This could be caused by network latency.
The sound and game screen are out of sync.
When a teammate passes by on your right but the sound comes from your left.
Very strange

🤔

[ancient cave]

put your headphones on the other way

[rocky citrus]

There are also some strange scenes appearing on the map. Sometimes you'll see a strange purple light and hear odd noises. I'm not sure if this is part of the Hanged Man mechanic in Gwent.

[formal saddle]

Came back to the game... cant hit shots to save my life lol

[shell turret]

hate this hunter tbh

the hair and makeup is awful

feels like e girl fanservice

which i feel like weve gotten a lot of latley

[rocky citrus]

wtf？ bro

[shell turret]

its the hair and the makeup

[rocky citrus]

I think this hunter design is cool.

[formal saddle]

We got hunt showdown harley quinn now lets go

I think the design is alright, not my cup of tea or anything Ill use but it looks fine

[raven totem]

We had Giggles and the knife lady last year

her design isn't far from that, surely lore wise shes grouped up, or might een be giggles a year later

[shell turret]

the hair looks waaay more egirl

[raven totem]

sure man

not entirely sure what an egirl is but whatever

[shell turret]

u are over the age of 30 right

[raven totem]

yup

[desert acorn]

The Cyclone always do 123? A bit less than base vetterli?

[shell turret]

it means emogirl

[raven totem]

yup

[desert acorn]

Yet still top tier?

[shell turret]

you know the kind you see with a monster and clown makeup on pintrest

[shell turret]

its a semi auto with a stock that fights single actions and bolt actions

yea

it is

[raven totem]

depends on who you ask. I think basic vetterli is far far better.

[desert acorn]

The pros are always praising the weapon.

[shell turret]

it’s basicly a 3 slot dolch p

[desert acorn]

Also, Skulltaker looks awesome.

[shell turret]

with 4 shots

[raven totem]

lol it's not a 3 slot dolch

my lord

that was a good one

[rocky citrus]

The design of the new Joker Hunter was definitely inspired by Judy's look in Cyberpunk 2077.

Very cool

[shell turret]

I dont think thats her name

isnt that the rabbit from the zoo movies name

[formal saddle]

I dont think thats her name last name but sure we'll go with it

[rocky citrus]

what

[raven totem]

lol

[formal saddle]

I love when I down 2 enemies and my random is just chilling in the fucking back letting the third guy kill me

[formal saddle]

zootopia or something like that

[raven totem]

that is typically how rondoms roll, if you over extend gotta cash that check or get sat down

I get sat down all the time

I've also had a lot of team wipes by myself in randoms too though

[formal saddle]

I mean I was rolling. Downed one, pushed in killed another and my teammates chilling outside the compound

[raven totem]

thats unfortunate

but the way it shakes outsometimes

once you get tired of randoms lfg is always open

[formal saddle]

Not sure how I feel about the krag though

Been trying to use it all day... its just eh, my aim isnt the greatest but still just eh

[raven totem]

my main meta rifle

it's like a winnie kinda but faster

in mv

and two taps

[formal saddle]

Gonna try the continental I think

[raven totem]

centi si great, one of my favorite perkless rifles

[formal saddle]

I did get one kill with the krag before I died last time but I dont feel like Im getting the kills for how expensive it is lol

[raven totem]

lever actions don't break line of sight without iron eye by the way

I'm not sure, krag is worth every penny though for me.

if you're newer to the game I do advise picking more budget friendly guns, the vetterlli is very good

always run iron eye on bolt actions

[formal saddle]

This is what Ive been running just switch the krag out for the continental

[raven totem]

centennial

[formal saddle]

I normally just unscope and move so I never really grapped that perk

[raven totem]

I'd suggest replacing one of those bits with a regen, and running pax to ammo stack with the centenial

[formal saddle]

gotcha

[raven totem]

imo if no iron eye it's not worth running most bolt actions

the centennial there works great without though

cent plus pax, both fmj and you're going to put a slap down on some people

[formal saddle]

I grabbed it this time just because with it being a lever action Ill probably play a little more aggressive

[raven totem]

then if you see dum dum, grab that for the cent and keep pax fmj

[formal saddle]

This is about to be one expensive experiment lol

Gotta figure a good budget loadout too my hunt wallet hurts and I do need to grind a bit

Gonna probably get levering next for close quarters

[raven totem]

ranger, officer, knuckles, medkit, chokes, fuzees, Small regen x 2, Small vit x 2

[formal saddle]

✍️

[raven totem]

another really budget loadout I like, anyshotgun, romero is great, conversion fmj, and same tool and conssumables as listed

there's room to deviate, if you feel like you can afford the flair gun I would upgrade to that

[molten gyro]

i havent tried any lever stuff yet, honestly havent bought anything except the 1865 since that ones only 70 bucks and its fun

[rocky citrus]

The news comes from the HUNT official website.

[raven totem]

it's a decent gun in it's range, but it's range is super limited

[molten gyro]

yeah ive been lucky in that most of my engagements have been like 15-20m with it so far

but i would like to try some slightly more expensive stuff that is a bit more reliable at range

[raven totem]

range of fights typically scales with the star of lobbies

[molten gyro]

yeah im pretty low down so far haha, havent played in like 3 years until like two days ago

[raven totem]

all good

[mild flower]

hm, I didn't see this

[raven totem]

wasn't a judgy thing just a trend I've noticed

[molten gyro]

oh i didnt see it as that at all

[raven totem]

ya we get to get all MOIST

man crytek is really getting a hard on for the meta gaming thing

perhaps this is the starting step for us to get mariner back reworked as something else

also prolly prepping for wild fire

we'll see with time

[molten gyro]

what would be a better option to use rifle wise currently that still isnt crazy expensive
i generally play solos

[raven totem]

lemat c fmj

with new army fmj as side arm

it's snappy enough, it's got a good mag size, it's fmj feels good, and the shotgun on it is servicable these days

or ranger, ranger is good as well.

imo you don't want something that demands iron eye due to solo perk requirements

untill leveled up of course

my main go to for solo though honestly is crossbow

[full jungle]

Marksman

Don’t forget the marksman

[raven totem]

they're asking for actual advise

[full jungle]

And I’m telling

[raven totem]

do not take the marksman

[full jungle]

Take the marksman

[raven totem]

if you're going to go scope go cent sniper or maynard

[mild flower]

Better than what?

[molten gyro]

i feel pretty good with just iron sights right now so i wont worry about that too much but the lemat or ranger sounds good to me

[molten gyro]

1865

[mild flower]

Solo perk requirements? Solo only rlly needs 1 though

[formal saddle]

Ill try it this run, the continental aint bad, but I was in close quarters for most of the fight so I didnt use it much lol

[mild flower]

Ig the other solo traits are great as well, just wouldn't call them required. I think I'm overanalysing what you said

[mild flower]

Nothing is better than the 1865 💪

Except terminus slugs, those have immaculate aura

[molten gyro]

i do really enjoy shooting it but i also wanna have options for longer ranges as well
though i guess if i just hit headshots it dont matter anyway lmao

[mild flower]

(aura == being good)

[molten gyro]

true

[desert acorn]

I used to think ethics were relative in hunt. Now, KD farmers are the bad guys

[molten gyro]

i just shoot whoever i see

[desert acorn]

I play the objective, and engage when I have to.

The guy wouldn't even burn my noob friend... just camped the body the whole match.

He had an auto, and was close quarters. I did not.

[molten gyro]

camping bodies just seems boring more than anything

[desert acorn]

Definitely. I'd rather fight the person a second time.

[molten gyro]

yeah either fight em again or just burn hte body and move on

[desert acorn]

The one match I didn't take dynamite... figured my friend would take up the slack until I got some.

Well, at least he timed out with his auto. Unfortunately, I timed out 10 feet from the extract... timed it wrong. Was gonna go back for my friend.

[molten gyro]

got out of my last hunt with like 20 seconds to spare, shit gets dicey

[raven totem]

matters what you wanna argue, but solo gains so much from varying picks, plus staples. I would rank iron eye down unless you're about to go slap people out the gate with mosin

[mild flower]

Yeah I agree. I just took "required" too literally

I very rarely play solo without Magpie tho

[raven totem]

legit talk I don't take necro first round most of the time

[mild flower]

Double darksight boost for 1 point is insane value

[raven totem]

ya, and you're by yourself

[mild flower]

Imho Magpie is the best solo trait

[raven totem]

mahpie feels more mandatory than necro honestly

[mild flower]

Especially cause it's 1 point

[raven totem]

I'm a big serpent fan on solo as well

never serpent on teams though lol

[mild flower]

Serpent is a weird trait, its usefulness kind of depends on your opponents forgetting it exists lol

[raven totem]

as solo, na it lets you travers clues way faster

[mild flower]

Or a teammate with LoS on the token

[raven totem]

on teams, ya serpent is just super condition dependant

[mild flower]

Right yea on solo for clues, it combos with conduit too right? You can basically have the world lol

[raven totem]

ya as solo you can move very fast

pacing that is, not actual move speed of course

[mild flower]

On a somewhat related note, I find shadow leap so extremely underrated for long distance travel. If you use it consistently it gives a considerable boost to your travelling speed

Especially considering skipping verticality and water/obstacles

[raven totem]

crytek nerfed it to hard, dead perk to me now

[mild flower]

I think it's still very good, but people perceive it as worse than it is just because of how much it got nerfed

[molten gyro]

i should probably pay more attention to my perks but i also dont wanna lose my higher level hunters while relearning so im stuck with low level stuff right now

[mild flower]

You can get a max level hunter in one match nowadays, I wouldn't worry too badly

[raven totem]

you barely gain time over running up and stabbing something. imo it's just really not worth the slot

[normal radish]

you dont need to worry about loosing high level hunters, you need to play with them, max them out and move on to the NEEEEXXT

[mild flower]

The time save is more so about skipping the travel, not the stabbing. If used over and over in a row, you can shave a good minute or so off of your cross map travel especially considering obstacles

[normal radish]

loosing hunters is a part of gameplay loop

[molten gyro]

yeah thats the hurdle i need to get over, i know it doesnt matter too much overall and hunters are cheap

[raven totem]

and then that strongly depends on path and map cutout. I'd rank gator legs over it honestly

[normal radish]

yeh dont worry abt it, ive been this game since day one and i have only like 350 sth maxed out hunters. if i worry too much abt loosing them it affects my gameplay

[raven totem]

and gator legs is bad due to use case %

[normal radish]

gator legs is usefull when you loot it in a match and everybody is dead and you go for rotjaw lol

for picking

[mild flower]

That does depend yeah, something like Stillwater or Mammon it's great.

The reason it gets a good amount of time save is the combination of direct time save of getting from one point to another faster on a straight line but also that you can travel in a straight line rather than curving about

[rocky citrus]

I think HUNT could add a ranked system to attract more players. The higher the rank, the better the teammates you'll be matched with.🤔

[normal radish]

it could be picked very situationaly

[raven totem]

ala better than shadow leap

[normal radish]

there IS such a system in place

[mild flower]

If everybody is dead then why do you need more mobility for rotjaw
You're not gonna get shot by anyone anyway

[raven totem]

to an extend, and depending on population

[normal radish]

to kill it faster

[mild flower]

That's MMR

[mild flower]

Gator legs wouldn't make you kill it faster though. No matter what you just hit it whenever it comes out the water

[normal radish]

it makes you move around faster in water, so your team can also join in and melee it to death.

ive noticed your comments are nothing but ragebaits but ill indulge you anyway

[mild flower]

But you can do that without it, I don't understand how gator helps there

[normal radish]

maybe try harder to understand then i guess

[iron dirge]

server die?

[mild flower]

With gator legs or without gator legs, you can hit it whenever it emerges. Gator legs doesn't affect your attack speed

[normal radish]

lol now your baiting, everybody knows that gator legs increases your melee speed in water

go read the description

[mild flower]

What
When did they add that?

[normal radish]

patch 12.6

[desert acorn]

Mako without levering seems wrong. Terminus without levering just isn't good.

[normal radish]

look at this golden clip i found from the dark ages

he got me with upper cut lol

[desert acorn]

Just got introduced to the melee range increase from the receiving end.

[desert acorn]

Report him

[normal radish]

which melee

[desert acorn]

All melee got range buff.

[normal radish]

this clip is nearly three years old, he is probably banned by now

[desert acorn]

Saw that afterwards. Just my reflex... so many complain without reporting.

[normal radish]

i mean which melee introduced you to it

[desert acorn]

I got stabbed by a saber, after missing with my bow.

[young panther]

looks very legit to me

[desert acorn]

The sound was a bit off that match... they weren't lined up with their footsteps.

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/itachi-itachi-uchiha-naruto-anime-gif-gif-6980510505105788152

[normal radish]

sometimes i get that too

some hunters seem to have learned the silent step

[normal radish]

he killed 4 more from that angle, ironsight uppercut

[desert acorn]

Every damned time Nvidia drivers update, they put my highlights in a different folder.

[normal radish]

post your WORST death ever in hunt i go first

yes, i killed myself

shot myself with the romero, in the back

[desert acorn]

I'll start with the headshot on the fly with the bow I just made.

Then I'll look for something awful... though after reviewing them, I typically delete.

no idea what's going on with that.

[normal radish]

it didnt show anything for either, fyi

oh look i found yet another embarrasing death

i walked over cinders

and had 1 hp left

[whole mist]

Wait……wut

[normal radish]

yeh, for some reason

my gun was behind my back when i pressed fire

and i got self obliterated

i even fell forward for confirmation

i thought its a ui bug

but no, nobody had killed me that match

[desert acorn]

Nvidia reset everything... destination folder, resolution, etc. Awesome. No wonder my disk is full, and my pc keeps crashing.

[whole mist]

I was playing randoms earlier, and was spam pinging red barrels and trap placements for my teammates……i then proceed to walk into my own traps 2 sec later

[normal radish]

"you see i walked into this trap so that you wouldnt"

[normal radish]

not all heroes wear panchos

[normal radish]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401019644938289153/1354238062430916739/image0.gif

[desert acorn]

That's the 720, so smaller. Playing with 2 noobs, hence all the talking.

The enemy's explosive made no noise on my end for some reason, during the fight... nobody heard it, actually, but I've got a hiss in the replay.

[normal radish]

ah the chain reaction

i have been killed with it, and killed with it

its good one

[desert acorn]

I like using fire to set off explosives.

Even high MMRs fall to that sometimes.

Rexnor was showcasing the Bornheim Match today. I don't want him to... that's one of my weapons, and nobody plays it.

[eternal cairn]

Sweats play it. It's spam almost no recoil

I love having matches with just mosins in it though. Super fun

Yay

The best gun in the gaammmeeeeeee

[signal gale]

i think someone likes their mosin

[eternal cairn]

Can't have explosive crossbow though. Too unbalanced.

[desert acorn]

I like to burn them a little... because Sparks is my main. Bornheim is good for trhat.

[normal radish]

bormtch is a great side arm

though i still prefer my pax

[desert acorn]

I never used pistols. Sidearm was always the bow.

As long as I get 1v1s, I usually win. It's when I have to fight 2 at once I don't.

[normal radish]

bow is a good 1v1 weapon yeh

when i play cqc i usually go for arbalest

its unmatched in close combat imo

[raven totem]

ya they should unscarce xplosive rounds for xbow

bring back my baby

[signal gale]

i’m gonna miss the days where it was still scarce if they ever bring it back

[eternal cairn]

Oh.. getting 2 tapped by a single burst on an avto? Not OP. Kill traps? Not OP. Mosin?? Used in ever single 6 star match??? Not OP. Explosive Crossbow? Too OP. Nerf it. The 6 stars complained

Rain so you can't see or hear anything? Nice nice. That's also totally fine.

[signal gale]

rain is fine lol

[eternal cairn]

Rain is garbage.

Rain is for people that corner camp and sit in bushes waiting for an opportunity to kill someone on the side while never actually actively participating in the game.

[signal gale]

that scenario happens in every modifier anyway

[eternal cairn]

makes it easier when no one can hear you

[signal gale]

the people sitting in bushes often run subsonic anyway, idk, i just don’t see the issue but that’s just me lol

[eternal cairn]

Go play minecraft then if you wanna do nothing? But don't take away MY senses because you suck at the game?

[mild flower]

Nah sweats will just use dolch P. Bornheim match is like temu dolch P

[signal gale]

you don’t have to play on those modifiers lol. you can just leave

[mild flower]

Id say rain buffs aggressive play more, cause that's the play that actually otherwise makes noise to be heard.

[eternal cairn]

I got killed the other day.. 4m could not hear that person moving up on me at all

No idea they were there

[signal gale]

that sounds like a personal problem

considering they made footsteps louder in rain lol

[eternal cairn]

Not crouch steps

they nerfed the shit out of crouch steps

Or.. it's a PVP game

[scarlet plinth]

All must hunt to showdown

[eternal cairn]

and the devs promote bottom play over any actual PVP play

[signal gale]

how exactly do they promote “bottom play”?

[eternal cairn]

Because why the shit are you playing a PVP game? If you just wanna be a bottom and not actually get into PVP fights?

There's plenty of shooter PVE zombie games dafuq

[ancient whale]

Facts

[signal gale]

aren’t you a player in said PVP game that can control your outcomes to a certain degree using problem solving skills?

[eternal cairn]

The game being on sound and half on visuals? and they have 5 times of day that nerf visuals and 75% of my maps are rain so also my ability to hear? In a game BASED ON ITS SOUND DESIGN?! Fuckin wild

[wooden relic]

Would Hunt work as a TV series? What do you guys think?

[eternal cairn]

Its original lore would have been a really cool TV series

but they've fucked the lore up so it's just a mid ass game with weird story telling

[signal gale]

would you agree that you, as a player, are able to adapt to your surroundings despite what they throw at you, lol

[eternal cairn]

Adapt to what being blind and deaf?

[signal gale]

they said they were working on one but idk what happened to it

[eternal cairn]

It fell through

[ancient whale]

It started back in I think 2021 but has since been shelved

[signal gale]

i just don’t see it as big of a hindrance i guess. i’ve been playing too long, lol

[eternal cairn]

80% of the players have moved over to Arc raving about Arc being good. And when some of them do come back to Hunt they're like "Damn this game is bad." The stakeholders and people with money are so worried about short term profits with throw down for another Post Malone event for short term player spikes rather than long term player retention. There's so many bugs and messed up things, the non casuals that play the game are getting worn out. To run into another event.

[mild flower]

Yea

[ancient whale]

Arc and Hunt are like two different extraction shooters and Arc doesn't nearly have as good of audio in comparison

[eternal cairn]

Now that we normalized events for every 2-3 months there can't be any "down time" because the players that aren't casual are "bored"

I dunno, does it? Hunt has a whole time of day that ruins audio, so what does that even matter to them?

There's no quick fixes of things that are long term bothersome that just are a pain.

[signal gale]

unfortunately that’s just how the business is these days. live service is the norm

[eternal cairn]

They had 2 chances to not fuck up their money. And somehow they keep managing to fuck up getting money

[ancient whale]

If you ran into rain every single time you might have had a point.

[eternal cairn]

if I play 10 sessions I run into rain 6 times

[ancient whale]

Most of my matches have been day. I wish I had rain and night as much as you lol

[eternal cairn]

I'll fuckin trade you

I get that bullshit all the time

[signal gale]

give me old hunt engine fog

that’ll truly have me squinting at every shadow i see 15m out

[mild flower]

Old AMD Ultra Performance mode

[signal gale]

oh nah

[mild flower]

If you search "Vaseline" in the discord search most of the messages are referring to ultra performance mode lathering your screen with vaseline lol

[frigid ibex]

I think I've seen screenshots of that

[mortal cove]

Factually Arc Raiders seems to have had very little impact on Hunt

[signal gale]

[eternal cairn]

That is looowww

[austere coral]

We just found a Murder Circus cart in a match that wasn't even on the map.

[signal gale]

do you realize how many people 23k people is

[eternal cairn]

Yes @austere coral that's on purpose

[signal gale]

even if it’s “low” that’s a LOT of people playing a video game. lol

[austere coral]

I figured, but thought it to be cool

[frigid ibex]

Hunt got that stable 23k

[mortal cove]

It‘s still in it‘s niche and Hunt has been fine with far lower daily peaks

There was a point where Hunt only had around 10-11k daily peaks

And it still survived

[normal radish]

thats enough to overthrow a goverment

[mortal cove]

Compared to the lows of 2024, Hunt has recovered well

[normal radish]

there was a time hunt had 10 people playing lol

[signal gale]

i remember when hunt had 300 daily. i’d see the same folk every day lol

[mortal cove]

2018 were the days

When nobody knew nothing

[eternal cairn]

This game is newer. So many Hunt streamers aren't playing Hunt or promoting it too. Maybe having a close to 8 year game and only fixing bugs once every 3 months makes a made difference?

[signal gale]

insta heal syringe, no momentum AD movement

[normal radish]

MEDIUM DOLCH

[mild flower]

Id take that syringe over the syringes we have now :p

[normal radish]

hunters not having full hp

[frigid ibex]

110 damage dolch was a bigger problem than the medium ammo part

[normal radish]

only tier 3 hunters had full hp

[frigid ibex]

It lasted longer than the lol medium ammo

[signal gale]

this is why i’m like.. we don’t realize how good we have it rn

[normal radish]

like who tf thought thatd be a good idea lol

[normal radish]

that it did

[eternal cairn]

I would take back pre dualies Hunt

Over this Hunt

XD

[normal radish]

the ogs do

the new comers dont

[mild flower]

For a time, hunt really was fixing some trash things. But I think from there it's been more downhill than uphill tbh.

[normal radish]

i remember having entire EU server to me and 9 other people for a whole day

[mild flower]

Still love the game tho

[eternal cairn]

I would take back 1.9s UI over this UI

[signal gale]

like what? genuinely curious

[frigid ibex]

I don't miss semi old hunt where you had to cancel the queue before the red bar filled up just because you had 5½ team match mmr

Cause you'd get empty games

[signal gale]

i’d like to see if we have similar disagreements lol

[frigid ibex]

It was so ass

[eternal cairn]

I"ll take waiting over being in a mosin game every game and I'm not sweating and just trying to vibe

[signal gale]

the one thing i miss the most is my knife flip, same with the uppercut

[frigid ibex]

That'd happen anyway. I'd say that's one thing that never change about hunt

[mild flower]

Portable ammo box, recov shot, 2 slot buffs, regen shot buff, penetration nerf, extreme power creep of other long ammo options to keep up with mosin instead of just nerfing the mosin, constant events recycling the same stuff

[eternal cairn]

I want loadout matches

[frigid ibex]

Early event was usually the best part of playing hunt

You saw something that wasn't mosin

And the longer it went the more mosins came back

[eternal cairn]

Yeah but then people are over the event or completed it so the game is ass again.

[frigid ibex]

Its a cycle

[eternal cairn]

But I would rather them fuck off on the events and fix more shit. Which they said they were gonna do? But since then its been event after event after event

Like maayyybbeee fix the lobby bug so I can just play the mode I want to play without having to switch after every match.

[frigid ibex]

I'd imagine the stuff we see now are stuff they made in advance

[mild flower]

Also the fact that, mainly thanks for events, you get max level hunters and infinite money in one match

[frigid ibex]

Like they are probably working on the next next event right now

[signal gale]

i agree with you on the pen nerf as well as power creep for other long rifles, ammo box, etc.

2 slot buffs i dont think im understanding what that means

[eternal cairn]

But if there is an obnoxious bug of any kind that's not like the lemat bug.. we have to wait 3 months and hope and pray.. that maybe JUST ONCE we get a not broken iteration of this game

[wheat pilot]

he means buffs to 2-slot weapons

[frigid ibex]

They buffed medium slot shotguns to have almost same range as 3 slot shotguns.
2 slot rifles got buffed in sway and obrez drum got 25 long ammo lel

[mild flower]

Mosin obrez drum got 25 rounds of reserve ammo and very little sway.

2 slot shotguns are now almost as powerful as their full size counterparts and not bringing a quartermaster loadout with rifle and shorty shotgun is actively hindering yourself. I also have countless other issues with these flawless rifle + shotgun loadouts but it'd take a while to say them right now

[eternal cairn]

Obrez had a really wild sway though for a long time

[frigid ibex]

For good reason

Its a pocket rifle

[signal gale]

OH thats what that meant. sorry it’s 2AM, my brain is fried

[eternal cairn]

No, but I get why they buffed it too?

But also nerfing and buffing guns solely based on use is not it

[frigid ibex]

Not really, it was never ass. Probably the most used pocket rifle

[frigid ibex]

Yeah, berthier buff out of the blue

Must be based on use

[mild flower]

Just more power creep because "it's not as strong as mosin so it needs a buff"

[frigid ibex]

The problem is there's many people in the community that genuinely believes that weapons are trash if it isn't mosin good

So that doesn't help at all

[signal gale]

^

[mild flower]

Because mosin has never really been nerfed

[ancient cave]

I find it funny when people try to talk bad about a weapon in hunt

[eternal cairn]

I mean, unless they do something about the mosin, no one is going to play these other long ammo guns unless they're an actual Chad and/or not sweating like this a fuckin EA sports game

[ancient cave]

everythings viable who gaf

[frigid ibex]

Nagant pistol been nerfed more times than mosin

The trashiest pistol in the game

[eternal cairn]

Mosin has only ever been price nerfed

[signal gale]

the hi- point of hunt showdown. lol

[normal radish]

it was co-nerfed with long ammo tweaks a little

[eternal cairn]

Sorry, if I kill you was my Nagant Silencer. o7 I'm better XD

[mild flower]

The one thing to nerf that changes absolutely diddly squat

[normal radish]

other than that itsthe same old mosin as the old days

[mild flower]

What long ammo tweaks? Don't think there were any that mattered.

[frigid ibex]

The other long ammo are, ngl, just the same old same. You get the same advantages as the mosin, just not the same min-max benefits like a stripper clip reload.

[ancient cave]

mosin gets "nerfed" it's just it's always a blanket nerf so it doesn't matter

[frigid ibex]

Lebel is just a mosin with slower reload

[signal gale]

well what do you feel would be a fair change for the mosin if it were to be changed?

[frigid ibex]

That you can animation cancel

[mild flower]

Make ammo reserves, the one balancing point long ammos are meant to have, actually a factor

[eternal cairn]

Krag is the better rifle and they won't play it because it doesn't have a stripper clip. Same with Lebel is neglibly different than the mosin. No one plays it because reload fast on the mosin

[mild flower]

Then adjust the bad ammo reserve changes like berthier and drumbrez

[eternal cairn]

But I play Sparks so.. like.. I dunno man

[mild flower]

Also people are accustomed to mosins sights

[eternal cairn]

That's also true

They could un-pin the mosin sights too

[upbeat lark]

I've pretty much never used the mosin I just play Martini Hendry if I want long ammo so I can't say anything

[frigid ibex]

Exactly. People min max that stuff. doesn't mean I'm gonna pretend playing lebel is any different.

[eternal cairn]

Give it a block

[signal gale]

it’s been in the game since forever ago, hard to give up something they used for so long

[mild flower]

Lmao imagine if they did what some guns had and just made them slightly off to the side. That would be perfect.

[frigid ibex]

If a trio rolls up on me with lebels and a dolch p, it's not going to be any different if they had mosins instead

If they had krag they could just spam me quicker but they also have the dolch for that

[signal gale]

new mosin change, you go down with one it breaks in your hands and you have an obrez when you’re revived
(joke)

[mild flower]

An Ironside fridge on either side of the weapon

[eternal cairn]

Mm cycle time and reload will just feel better for the mosin BUT I don't run into trios playing a lebel nearly the same as mosin

Poor Ironside, when is that getting a buffe

XD

[frigid ibex]

Not sure that's a good idea, that thing could hurt a lot

[mild flower]

Ironside is another case of a great weapon, that just isn't a mosin.

[eternal cairn]

I mean they gave the base martini fast fingers.. and that negates ironside

I mean, I think Iron is a funny weapon

[mild flower]

Pretty sure FF is slower to fire and it costs a trait
Also no ironeye/aiming between shots

[upbeat lark]

It safed up a trait slot

While giving you a brick wall to the side the block things

[frigid ibex]

When ironside came out I was beating the mosling people that I typically hated meeting. (Always the same people cause back then you'd only meet the same people over and over and over and over)

[eternal cairn]

It's slower by a bit BUT! you don't lose half your screen

[frigid ibex]

Now I at least meet people I don't recognise

[eternal cairn]

I still only meet the same people.

I'm out here living my best winnie life

Or whatever we call that shit now

[upbeat lark]

I bet by time you remember the IGN of those people by their behavior on raids

[signal gale]

i’m always calling them winnie’s

[frigid ibex]

I do that off hours on NA, I'll see recognisable names

[mild flower]

Yep, you trade a trait, speed and aiming between shots for more screen space and dual ammo types. Really seems like a balanced tradeoff pair to me

[eternal cairn]

Ironside was funny with explosive

but then they made mako and that has levering.

[mild flower]

Lower damage tho

[signal gale]

hey hunt devs when can i purchase a catfish to use as a melee weapon

[eternal cairn]

Doesn't matter if it hits you 3 times in a row and aim punches you tho

[mild flower]

Lower damage means less radius that you can shoot around someone to finish them off after a direct hit

[normal radish]

dried or fresh?

[mild flower]

Use Monroe and bring an empty weapon slot, then you can punch with the hands of a catfish

[signal gale]

fresh off the docks of lock bay

I’m trying to use the vandal c deadeye or whatever it’s called. Probably the most underused weapon.
Same with the springy deadeye (that one is probably more popular)

[scarlet plinth]

Let us in

[whole mist]

They could probably just reuse one of the fish assets hanging in the barns

[scarlet plinth]

Those huge catfish

[whole mist]

Yea. Could have an overhead swing animation like the railroad hammer

has there been any details as to what the new progression system will look and when its coming?

[normal radish]

new badges

to show off

[mild flower]

I probably see more vandal deadeyes.

The reason people don't play either is because scopes are affected most from being a shorty iirc

Cause sway is important for ranged shooting

[copper robin]

yo

[dense surge]

just got a gold cash register first time

200 hours in

[whole mist]

I’ve yet to see one after 900+

I genuinely can’t remember ever seeing one in person

[scarlet wasp]

Any word on the Bileweaver laptop comp 👀

[normal radish]

too late

i won it

and they already shipped it

here is proof

[copper robin]

oo bro i cant play hunt showdown

[normal radish]

why

[copper robin]

it needs AVX2

[normal radish]

hmm i think i saw another dude saying sth like this the other day

claiming its a cpu issue

[tall canopy]

!avx

[graceful hedge]

Hunt: Showdown 1896 no longer supports CPUs that do not support AVX2.

To check if your CPU supports AVX2 please follow these steps:

On Steam, at the top left corner of your app, click Help -> System Information -> Scroll down until you see AVX2 and whether or not is says "Supported" or "Unsupported".

[copper robin]

do you know what s AVX2?

[mortal cove]

It's a CPU instruction extension

[normal radish]

advanced vector extensions

if my nerdy side still got it

[mortal cove]

Yes, but AVX2 is AVX with a 256-bit wide data format

[normal radish]

some sorta (INT)

[normal radish]

kudos to you

[copper robin]

is there anyway to play without AVX2?

[normal radish]

im afraid not

[mortal cove]

There is AVX (with a 128-bit wide)
AVX2 (256-bit)
AVX512 (512-bit)

And then there is apparently a new AVX instruction with a 1024-bit wide data format

But I have not really looking much into that

[mortal cove]

In Short no

and Crytek doesn't have the financial power to make 2 versions of the game to accomodate players without access to AVX2

[copper robin]

someone said it has a way

[mortal cove]

AVX2 emulation is both slow and unrealiable

Especially on CPUs so old they don't have AVX2 as a baseline instruction to begin with

[normal radish]

emulation is generally slower than direct rendering

[tawny eagle]

Anyone else having the same issue?

[normal radish]

not currently

[rapid dagger]

Hey do we already know how long the circus will last?

[tall canopy]

Guess about 2 to 3 months like the last events

[normal radish]

there is an standard of 60 days

probably around that

[rapid dagger]

Cool thanks

[leaden herald]

welp my last hunt went well

first my internet crashed for a minute, then hunt crashed

I think my destiny was to not extract this time

[normal radish]

[clever flare]

wish i had like, cognac or something

[normal radish]

and some other bottles are around

[clever flare]

lol

[normal radish]

hunt goes exceptionaly well with liquor

my lil bro also likes it

[harsh raptor]

drink jäger while playing hunt for the full hunting experience

[clever flare]

i hatwe

hate

playing solo

why is the game so slow

it's friday

[normal radish]

you on eu?

eu has a few players

right now

you probably can find some

[normal radish]

my go to is a traditional brew mix if i wanna be both alert and not alert at the same time

[clever flare]

brazil

[normal radish]

hmm the most populated server is EU now

but even that aint that popular

right now i mean

[dawn ridge]

Can i invite my friend on Xbox while i am in steam?

[leaden herald]

I don't think so

[normal radish]

nay

[dawn ridge]

but i can find him in random right?

[spring mauve]

yep

[dawn ridge]

Ty

[tall canopy]

no u cant

[normal radish]

not if your STEAM and he is xbox

[tall canopy]

theres no crossplay between pc and consoles

[spring mauve]

he means xbox game pass I assume

[normal radish]

no he said steam

[tall canopy]

steam and xbox

[dawn ridge]

I am on steam and he is on Xbox

[spring mauve]

ah, then no lol

[dawn ridge]

Ok

[leaden herald]

maybe one day you can

[pearl gyro]

i guess they ran out of ideas for events so they are going back to post malone, honestly they should just have several months where there is no event so people can just play regular hunt

[jovial karma]

I think they just wanted a lot of events and post plays and is probably pretty free with his likeness in video games

[tall canopy]

i rather think it was planned for two events from the beginning and maybe couldnt change it due to contract reasons. i kinda doubt they would do another one if they didnt had to after the feedback a year ago

[harsh raptor]

i dont really see post malone holding a gun to their head to do another event tbh

probably just made a lot of stuff for event 2 already so they had to do it

[tall canopy]

and even then, imo the murder circus was one of the best events so far. skins where a bit over the top, but the new stuff etc was very nice

[harsh raptor]

idk i tried it and decided not to play until it ended lol

hopefully this one will be a bit better

i think this one was kinda the best event so far from the ones ive played because it feels very much like hunt and doesnt have too many goofy or op stuff

[quasi bridge]

I missed the entire event whenever I see players with the skins I get outraged it’s like eating ice cream infront of ur younger sibling and not giving them any

[feral tangle]

There needs to be a penalty for just running away every time you get bounty i have so many matches where player pick up bounty see where my team is and just run away and there is no way to catch them by the time they run

and no other team is ever there on the other side to lock them in compound

so tired of spending my matches chasing people who clearly dont know how to fight

[fallen robin]

I mean that sounds like an excellent strategy, you have the token, why risk a fight if you can make it to the extraction point?

I'm new, so I'm generally asking

[feral tangle]

It feels like you just lose out on a lot of what makes this game great. The mechanics for the guns are so genuienly good. Plus from my experience you get more out of fighting then you do with just having bounty.

It feels very cowardly to just run which is what this other team did 3 matches in a row. i kept running into the same team and all they did was grab bounty and run. even if they had an extract point right on compound they would still run across the map to the other one other than fighting to get to the one 100 yds from them.

and im a solo they would more than likely beat me but I'd still enjoy the fight. It just feels like it ruins the experience for others like me who enjoy a good fight.

[worn oak]

People can play the game in the way they want. maybe the money was the priority for them. (Specially if you are doing prestige and you spend on your loadout) these kind of easy money helps.

We all did this before. So it's all fine.

[clever flare]

thats it

i'm forcing myself to use crossbow and saber for the rest of this game's lifetime

god
