Agree in many cases
Necro is pretty good tbh
I am a man of culture you know.
sometimes the risk is worth for the chance to get him up
If they don’t have resilience it’s a gg
Only if you could choose to be able to be revived through it
Mfs revive me with a guy standing on top of me
For randoms, sure. That's fair
i always buy resil though, amazing trait
Must buy trait imo
yes
https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009 me about to be revived when i clearly am not safe
ive lost many fights going for my teammates pickup and he doesnt have resil
dies to derry
like why the fuck did i even bother reviving you then
what you gonna do with 20hp
Hey man, he really wanted his vulture and adrenaline traits
see idgaf, send it everytime bro. ask @raven totem i always say send it
*adrenaline doesnt proc when getting revived
OH
nbvm
im dum

I mean I have found myself in quite a few situations where my position is safe and so is the position where my teammate died, but the route from my position to his body is what is dangerous
In those situations necro is handy
btw this is stupid that it doesnt proc, just delete this trait already
or wait, no. He really wanted assailant, adrenaline, and uh…..kiteskin
kite is vali tho
obv first round picks
i get kite first
Mfs just cant judge when that is
I get hornskin
Well true, randoms often just waste necro and get you killed
if I play randoms and have all small bars, yup
nobody gets hornskin except on fresh prestige when you only have access to like 7 traits
Imagine prestiging 💀
thats crazy
Dauntless is peak 1 point trait, though
Cba to lose a small bar to a random grunt
true
wish kite wasnt level 70 tho
i get it for so little time
here crafter you can watch me eject from my chair
also he didnt have devils, we all died and i spectated. no devils
adrenaline I think is the most useless trait now. Or maybe assailant
adrenaline for sure
tho tbf kiteskin is more of a comfort trait for me than actually being that useful
it doesnt proc on standup w./o resil
tbh what’s the point of assailant now
I just hate misjudging height and losing my small healthbar because of it
only time it was good was when it gave you a speed boost
fancier animations ig
idk
it makes the tknives ohk grunts with a heavy attack
or just yanno
Wait i didnt mean adrenaline
throw it
saw a video saying that deter, bullwark, aren’t that worth it
yeah that's exactly what i said
cuz the gain is so small
im an evil man
ohh i saw the wrong name, my b
My point was that determination is a better 1 point trait than dauntless
one is a constant effect one is a pretty good effect thats quite rare
Good that you know it because those guns should be flipped around
idk it's just that I think so
Dauntless can save your ass, that's true, but it's situational imo. Like 9/10 matches I don't find myself in a situation where I need dauntless. Determination is not gamechanging but it's useful in pretty much every single match.
bulwark i can see a argument for because nobody uses dynamite unless its a contraband on found in raid
oh i agree
isn’t the gain from deter just barely 2 seconds faster?
but ones a constant solid effect ones an amazing rare effect
2 seconds is quite a bit if you do it constantly through the match
and with greyhound you can move very fast at full speed, which matters a lot for chasing
If you are getting swarmed by ai and don't have a stamina shot, those 2 seconds can matter
who needs deter if you just become a stamina junkie 
post duration nerf, i get a lot of value from deter/grey nowadays
I take x2 big stam now
i take 2 regen/stam/recov nowadays
you are a crackhead
Substance abuse simulator
die to mosin 
90% of the reason I take stam shots is having stamina when I get ressed and 100% of the reason for that is because adrenaline doesn't work when you have resilience which is cringe and should have been changed ages ago to work regardless when getting ressed
Or I’ll bring…x1 regen, x3 empress, and a sniper 😄
I can manage my stamina economy otherwise
deter is just a helpful trait honestly
i bring deter/grey nearly everygame
also damn is the Servant of the Void a nice skin, ive never seen it before when did she release?
i love that mask
Is this in 12k or some shit??? Still hasn't loaded btw
1440 lol
Surely playing Uppercut with shotgun primary and not Mosin 🙏
Interesting
Straight to Alcatraz for you
Term no levering shouldn’t even allow you to equip the weapon with out
😭
It was so bad
You shoot it once and the lever just breaks off
I forgot how actually usel3ss it is w/o it
What ever happened to the laptop giveaway they were going to do for the bileweavers event?
I ate the laptop
playing Arc raiders irl. Needed the scrap
You dont get scrap from laptops you get plastic and e components
Goober
Hey guys do the redeemable codes only work on pc?
!redeem
To redeem a code: Go to Options, then More, then Redeem Code.
Are the balloons above the carts new or am I goin crazy
not new
damn
but theyre only at the new circus cart that teases the next event
amogus
Kinda new? From an old event and only at the “secret” cart until new event
You don’t have the name anymore you’ve lost the right
laptop giveaway here yet?
funny way of saying "i can use a prompt"
can you make me a ligma?
Fancy way to say unemployed
Guys I hear the beatle in my sleep
choke
Just the fly sfx
Huh
A prompter came to flex and call himself an engineer and as an engineer by heart and unemployed by trade I can't let that be
interesting way to say "no one wants a self proclaimed engineer so im jobless"
Beetle
Beetle
A Beatle is a member of the band known as The Beatles
A Beetle is the common insect with a hard carapace
If a prompter calls himself a prompt engineer I am going to start calling myself an english maestro
Beetles are so fun, yesterday me and my buddy were stuck in a stalemate around rotjaw with one solo guy. Everyone else extracted already. The guy was camping in some bushes for like 5 minutes straight so my friend started chasing him around with the beetle. After like 5 minutes of that I guess he must have felt overwhelmed because he just booked it to extraction without even trying to take rotjaw from us.
im 10 trios wiped less than my total bosses killed
i can do this
purposedly not killing bosses today
as you should!
We barely know what he looks like
you get a pretty good look at them in the new anouncement
is it a drop skin =?=
yup
Kinda not really. We know the very basic outline of him
We know he has a hat and what looks to be some sort of metal (?) on his chest and maybe arms
looks like a thicc hex breaker
but ya so looks neat so far
its the one from malone trailer i think
with heads
in desalle
oh yeah, might be
is there any solo mode on this game
Soul survivor is the only true solo mode
Spawn in with a random preset loadout that you pick (melee, close, medium) and then loot for better stuff while also trying to find the wellspring and fighting other players
thanks i just got the game so i just want to learn it somehow not trying going against trios yet
Whoever gets the wellspring has to defend it from other players until the time is up
Damn I feel bad this solo was friendly and she died to one of my instakill traps I was attempting to steer them away from. IDK why my VOIP isn't working smh.
so what happens to the mosin skin
It’ll probably turn into a paid skin if you didn’t redeem it
I mean the losers of the plowshares one
did you toggle it off accidentally, there's a keybind for muting all comms
Probably same thing.
probably
I kept doing it before realising it's a thing
Turned into a paid skin
M by default I think?
Yeah I probably hit M at some point
ya all the skins are made for these challenges, all it means is they'll all hit the shop to be bought for bbs eventually
it would be illogical for them not to.
Springfield never fails
Speaking of Springfield we need more skins
Yes we do
Springfield the goat
That too
I've never performed badly with the springfield
Berthier in general needs more love
no it does not
Mako too
More so what I meant
Berthier is fine gameplay wise
mako just got a whole set?
It needs another
and a l-eek is another mako skin
Nobody wants the same reused skin that the marathon had
i dont mind those actually
Give me the old event skin that made it gold and had nice wood
for the mako?
It’s nice on the marathon but I hate the mako version
oh the aperture one i think?
FIX YE SERVERS
I want both. The gold and leather regular
Mako and the heirloom aperture skin or whatever it’s called
the rubberbanding is so bad hahah
The regular one was better than the aperture imo. Honestly, might be the best skin in the game
nowhere near
but each their own
MoonFlower is one of the best skins in teh game
or the berthier one that isnt available anymore
What? this?
I mean to each their own but that's such a random pick
Moonflower is goated
earth shine and moonflower are both cool
just edgy enough where its great but its got style
black and silver is such a goated combo
how is it edgey?
its not random lol, its the only skins i dont own from bps
Excellent question
Idk just looks like a 7/10 skin to me. Like it looks good but it just seems so... average?
the one you picked was like 2/10
insane take
it has nothing nice to it
\
For sure an awful take
It's detailed, the colour choices are great and it looks fancy but also not ridiculous.
Such a clean skin
bleh
Unlike some of the recent "fancy" skins they did like Lilith's krag containing the worlds entire supply of gold and ivory
That one is also really nice
or the event shorty skins with huge gems stuck in them for no reason
Yeah one of the best skins period
They are not bad but they are so decorated to the point where it looks goofy. Those gems are just too much
if it doesn't have gold, is it even a real skin
yes, bc gold is overrated
need more gold
idk what id say is my favorite skin, bc there is some banger ones.
likei like gold, but as an accent
Councils Verdict is the limit of gold for me
i actually own a 3d printed life size one irl xD
Need a hunter that's just absolutely covered in gold
That golden pax trueshot skin is nice
i like ochenkovs heart and talisman for krag
Kamacite Moon is easily one of my favorite skins in the game, its just so clean. the Night Tyrant is another good one but Kamacites more edgier cousin
Royal Phantom is the closest
even though i hate the gun, Marble Saw is downright stunning
no it's just in the shop
for like 700 i think
Do we know what the twitch drops skins are gonna be
450 actually
server just died
nope
youll see in announcements what they will be
i use the one with the skulls on it n stuff
its got so much going on
pax trueshot lowkey in my top 10 guns
Pax TS is a Uppercut for 1/2 of the price
at extreme distances its kinda butt
i mean, its a sidearm
thats how they are designed now with bullet drop working the way ti does
uppercut will two tap at pretty crazy distance
all pistols are beceause of the horrendous drop
i using officer carbine a lot
idk how this guy is allowed in the game
its lowkey op
Low key?
its so broken
its just free win button unless u get one tapped by shotgun
even then if shotgun whiffs boom u win
Best gun sparks pistol any day of the week any time of the year, even when mercury is in retrograde
the carbine is also just rly cheap
and i dont need any traits
but its not op by any means
its like the most overall pick in the game
I just hate the irons, I always go with the deadeye
you dont see it a lot anymore after the levering buff
ironsights are lowkey fire
which is just mental how good ranger levering is now
have they announced the alienware laptop giveaway?
does alienware still make the most unintuitive pcs ever
Not yet
has that changed in the last like 8 years
Alienware is whack IDK why they picked them for the giveaway they probably cut a deal or something
they are literally just dells with plastic chassis
But hey a free laptop is better than no laptop
straight to the pawn shop for whoever wins that giveaway
ifi get it im selling it
another tattoo baby
I'd give it to a friend
on top of hte one im getting tomorrow
yeah give it to some guy who dosent have a pc
i wouldnt do soemthing so mean to my friend
Finally, you can get the Garfield tattoo
giving a non-pc gamer something to use steam with is like opening their third eye
Hey alienware laptop is better than no laptop
the first like 6 months u have a pc is heaven
100% this
I've got homies who could play hunt with me if they have that laptop
I can't imagine tbh
i think they might have some aim assist now or something
There's no guarantee I hit a barn on mnk
no AA on hunters
no aim assist on a controller is tuff especially in a game with single action weapons lol
r6 siege on console has no aim assist but everything is full auto with no recoil
there is aim assist on console
ive been told 50 different answers
weren't there actually 4 codes? Or is it just the Berthier marksman?
i hope they fix the servers before adding more players per game
4 codes from bileweaver event, but the marksman is just from the mosin skin contest
i think duos should s tay the same tho
i dont even get 12 in my lobbies idk how they gonna pull that off
The 3 codes from bileweaver event expired yesterday
you dont?
i almost always have 12
no only in duo vs trio
NAE and NAW
well duos sucks so stay out of there for your own sanity
ive been playing duos vs trios
thats fine
because duos has been sitter city
duos in general is so ass tho
always has been
i rarely get fun duo sessions until i start the fighting and by that point im usually out of resources
trios is also easier cuz i get an mmr down queue
My trouble with Trios is they still match me up against my equals or better. So now I'm facing 3 people with a higher mmr than I have.
you at most lost half a star of matchmaking btw
this was changed about a year and some ago now
but your matchmaking mmr and personal mmr are a different stat
it has a lot of discrepancy
if i play with my 3 star friend the game just isnt populated enough to have balanced matchmaking
he will get choke slammed forever
SBMM, MMR, ai algorithms that match players by blood type, etc. there's no perfect system and there will always be issues
I've yet to see a game nail it.
Yeah
imo, you cannot quantify skill into a number
It's like productivity tracking for employers, it's flawed
high time played doesnt always mean the guy knows what he is doing
high kd doesnt mean the guy is good, it just means he kills more than dies, but that doesnt really explain anything
you just cannot go off a statistic alone to quantify how "good" someone is, you can make basic assumptions off of the data but nothing official
Yeah there's too many ever changing variables
ive seen all the wavelengths of some kind of quantifier, and it doesnt apply
If you have a high K/D and high time played, there’s a good chance you’re a good player
chess has the best skill based matchmaking
god i hope i'm not terrble
but what quantifies a good player
Most balanced
I find Hunt: Showdown to be much more fun than chess
All of those combined
stuff like that you cannot put into a number
if i was stuck in a room by myself id probably want a chess board
hence why i often say kd doesnt matter and not to worry about it
it doesnt really explain anything
If you know the map well, have a good K/D, which usually comes from that, you’re a good player
ive seen players with more hours than me, and i have 5k, and those guys know fucking nothing
I got a good idea of it.
I'd still rather have a functioning PC with access to the internet
you dont get those in the ole white rooms
nah has to be cheatin 💯
Exception to the rule most likely
and or ping abuse 
and my kd isnt the highest by any means, 1.63 isnt astonishing and i find players with much higher than me and i am concerned about them sometimes
i was just making a point that its not a guarantee, and that was my whole point mainly
^
I don't think KD mean anything ngl.
Since you can farm it with a long range load-out and some bush camping.
if you cross map bush camp you could probably hold 50 pretty steady lol
but i would argue if thats ur playstyle ur objectively bad at the game
It’s on a spectrum
spectrum you say
If you have a 0.1 K/D…….c’mon now
Chances are that guy isn’t going to be rocking mosin spitzer, ya know
in some scenarios you could also say the lower the kd the better you are because your not afraid and you rush people like crazy
I wonder what the average K/D is for Hunt. Ik for CoD it was around 0.7
if you have sub 1 in cod you should be banned from video games
i love cod i havent played it in so long because they have the worst direction taking abilities of all time
they hate giving people what they want
It means something only if it's an extreme. Extremely low KD, like below 0.8, yeah you are probably pretty bad at shooting at least. Extremely high KD, you probably play extremely safe and don't play the objective.
And if, for exemple someone that doesn't have good aim and rarely play safe is above 1.2 ?
Of course I'm not saying it allows you to draw definitive conclusions. There are always exceptions, but if someone's kd is on one of the extremes you can draw at least somewhat likely conclusions
Cool, i am an exception.
if you have below a 2.0 and someone hasn't tried calling you out for cheating in here, theres someone else that will think you're a shitter, don't put to much weight into it.
A shitter?
Hey everyone can someone reboot the servers in birmingham please
Fucking Birmingham?
yes can you help pls
Tommy Shelby
ok no problem i have fixed hunt showdown for birmingham
Working on it.
all good i fixed it
does anyone know if the shotbolt is comparable to any shotgun
as in stats
or is it its own thing
Shotbolt isn't really a shotgun.
ya there are some people who think being far above people in a video game is a sign og superiority, some people are really up their own asses.
The frag explo he mean i guess.
ya unscarce explosive bow
Isn't it ?
sometimes people sit next to the window shutters
ez kill
when most cronically online people don't have any real life skills, no. it's like scoreing decent on an iq test, thinking that means something and doing nothing else with your life
People can be surgeon and good at hunt, but we are on an hunt showdown server so why would you talk of your irl job ?
That wasn't the point
there's always a bigger fish, don't worry about what others think, if you care enough try to improve where you think you can.
Idk what to respond to that, Mr Glide is the Sensei we need.
the second you step outside, video games don't matter, even when you're number 1 in the world at something.
Good thing i never go outside then. 
can u guys invite your fellas to play?
NO
hunt magic
are slugs worth it for the slate or should I just stick to buckshot?
Slugs = eeerrk.
Buckshot > Slugs
Last time I went outside I got sick for a week
Be careful out there
Yeah...
Its full of dangerous people.
If Darktide had cars like this, I’d 100% reinstall
imo buck is where it's at on slate currently, if you want medium slugs rival is still ok
iron eye feels like a waste on a non qm build where you take slate, and slugs on slate = iron eye. and if qm I feel like there are better slug shotguns that would take priority over it's slot
I’m going to be real I’m terrible at pvp in this game so I’m going to commit bunch of zombie murder instead
eventually you'll get the hang of it more
it took me at least 100 hours to be able to consistently kill some players in a match
Yeah I watched some clips of the game and even they were missing lots of shots
CLOSE. KILL. AND DO IT AGAIN.
Hi everyone, I have a question. Can a player get the upgraded dark vision on the start of a game?
Cause I found 2 guys in a game with it
if you see the time, the game is in a early stage
U use moon card
Yes theres a card called "The Moon" which gives you the bounty dark sight, just like the one you'd pick up from a boss
Oh I see, what a relief. I thought could be someone hacking lol
Thanks for the data guys
The only time I hack is to give myself big head mode, goldeneye style.
Live footage
are the devs aware of the issue where completing a bounty clash game reverts the UI to bounty hunt game? they still haven't hotfixed this.
Haven't they left death cheat bugged all event?
I thought they announced they had a fix for it
They may not have done a hotfix for it yet though
i just wanted to share the last night some dude named "metalcarbon" on steam (i forget what his name was on here) tried hitting on my sister in VC and when she shot him down he left saying we were cringe and intolerable and im still laughing at that shit
No. I believe it’s coming next update
TWITCH DROPS

playing dark skinned characters because it’s inclusive❌
playing dark skinned characters because it’s natural camoflage✅
Hey so is east coast just destroyed for anyone else
Berthier gang
Wait did 1865 carbine get a buff?! It’s 145 damage
It’s only 70 hunt dollars too. Why would anyone run anything else
so is there a reason why player audio like movement gets occluded over other useless sounds like just about everything else? And i don't mean muffled, just straight up doesn't exist, could be a person moving next to you. Game engine can't seem to process that many sounds
Wow, that's nice
Springfield 2.0 
Oh man youre right
YIPPEE
Thanks for bringing this up well get it nerfed immediately
no, it's been 145 since launch. the reason to run anything else is that it has 340 mv
Still. Why have I just now noticed this
I like 1865 carbine with the aperture to use as a spyglass lmao
fix servers man, desconection every game man.
Always has been 145
great game guys. labor of love award for sure this year
Happens to the best of us
hunt giveth and hunt taketh
bro i love the pennyshot derringer
but my fucking god does it apsolutly fail somtimes
I take it back that was a moment of weakness
It never fails if you belive hard enough in it
Believe in the heart of the cards pennyshot
I just pennyshotted another dude I hid in a bush and went the the bathroom came back a guy was runnin right at me, took it out and them BLAM
Eat my poor financial decisions you while
That was thursdays lunch money I just shot into your chest
The sheer joy of running Avtomat
Is beyond comparison in game
do you guys think Blast Sense is balanced?
In what sense? I think it's near pointless/waste of a trait slot
^
I do think it's pretty helpful imo for silencers which was my main criticism during its first version
for the most part if someone is shooting you can tell where they are anyway lol
Blast sense is borderline useless unless you’re deaf
@full raven
It helps me quite a bit
But since it is a waste of trait points could be bring it down to 1 👉 👈
I discovered design problems with the HUNT game.
Too many monsters are spawning on the map.
The placement of oil drums and explosive barrels on the map is so deliberate that it makes the map feel unrealistic.
That's not really a design problem
Everything seemed so deliberate, as if the placement of all the items had been pre-designed, to the point that the entire map looked unreal.
The placement of items on the map also seems pre-designed and doesn't look realistic at all.
Everything looks deliberate. Was it designed
You know
It's a PvPvE game, balancing is more important than realism
You should understand what I mean: increase randomness, rather than pre-planning the placement of all AIs and items.
Furthermore, the distribution and spawn rate of AI also present serious balance issues.
And my point still stands? It is an extraction shooter where it is PvP oriented, randomness is needed in the AI and placements of items.
Finding an avtomat in the back of a barn is also just funny
Only valid criticism in this regard is that Brute spawns are too few in possible spawn locations and feels too frequent on the same spots on each map.
yes so……
Make sure to get your free Berthier Marksman skin: B019-5STC-0XKJ-D5FI
that and the fact it has a sluggish ROF
you are quite literally better off using the vetterli
both can still down a hunter missing a bar
you can out dps the carbine with the vet anyways
Yeah but the carbine is louder 
Louder bang means more dead
The carbine is that one gun with no niche
I mean it is a repeating rifle that hits like a freight train.
Issue is that its upsides doesn't really compensates for its downsides
I'd just take the martini ironside at that point
Sure, but that comes with its own issues of the toaster box (not that I think it is that much of an issue).
-better ballistics due to higher muzzle velo
(you are never going to be shooting the carbine at a far enough distance where the lighter bullet will fly straighter)
-similar damage profile, however martini 2 taps further out due to it being long ammo
-better reload speed
significantly faster to top off vs having to undo the cap at the butt end of the carbine
The only "drawback" is the toaster
which you can get used to yeah
Bullets travel at the same speed, too.
Also less bullets looted, but lmao, ammo box
That's where my sparks pistol 2ndary comes in

But yeah Carbine does have its own thing going on for it, but just not worthwhile thing.
it gets outclassed by just about anything imo
Agreed, end of the day 145 and 125 damage more or less is the same.
So going down to 340m/s for that extra 20 damage is whatever.
if you are going for 2 taps
there are loads of options that can get the 2nd shot off faster with better muzzle velo....
if you are going for damage
uh the martini ironside exists
yeah considering how large most compounds are and the distance most fights take place
Spits chaw into the corner, then takes a hit from his pipe tobaccy If yer' playin' jus' fer' the Meta, then you ain't playin' hunt right.
it isn't even about meta
moreover off meta options like the ironside out perform it
Just did a derringer only prestige run, I ain't shy for playing unoptimal stuff.
Issue is that meta is something that get shot at me.
If someone asks me why I play the Sparks... "Because it sounds like a cannon, and being dropped to 1 hp is terrifying."
I too love the sparks
I just lost as a solo in Clash to a trio who had two members a higher mmr than I was.
prolly the most evil loadout rn
I can't surrender and play Meta, now.
Due to the current event, I am nearly always immune to poison.
Drat...
Also just wanna say, the best part of doing Derringer only run is that you steal the weapons of the first guy you kill and now they have nothing.
We had a Cain I stole their weapons from and later we killed him with this dead player model holding on to a spear lol
but yeah for guys without antidote
this is prolly one of the scariest loadouts to play vs
the moment you get tagged by that sparks and put at 1hp for 12 seconds
you gotta dodge the needles and beetles loool
Looks like a genuinely fun loadout. Wouldn't call your toolbelt versatile... I think I'm due to learn better tools and consumables, though. I've been using Medkit, alerts, penninger, and throwing knives/axes for months now.
I always run traps and 3 concertina bombs with 1 regen
this is the 1 exception..
I take 2 regens and a stam, then whatever I decide on. I think I gotta be less dependent on the shots
2x Regen, 1x Recovery, 1x Ammobox
So boring, but so immensely strong.
Yo someone else having the problem when deleting perks?
I choose a perk to delete and it even shows my the correct perk in the convormation screen but then it delets the perk in slot 1... several times now
I generally take recovery to get extra trait points. So I can start with Necro and something else. I'm good with dynamite for some reason.
It is finicky, but it is very easy not to actually select the trait you wanna delete
oof. Romero shorty has a longer ohk range than Rival full length
that can't be true
just testing it in the range. Shorty had 13 consistently. The full-length wasn't consistent.
I mean it would be foolish
Haymaker is underrated
Hand Cannons
Rival hc - Buck 10m, Slug 11.5m
Terminus hc - Buck 11.5m, Slugs 11.5m
Auto 4 - Buck is 11.5m, Slug is 11.5m
Specter hc - Buck 11.5m, Slug 11.5m
Haymaker - Buck 10.5 Slug 11.5
Drilling hc - Buck 13.2 Slug 11.5
Romero hc Buck 13.2 Slug 11.5
Medium Barrel
Slate - Buck 12.9m Slug 13.9m
Rival - Buck 12m Slug 13.9
Lemat Carbine - Buck 12m, Slug 13.9m
Long Barrel
Auto 5 - Buck 12ish, Slugs 15.5
Specter - Buck 13.3m, Slug 15.5
Romero - Buck 13.6m, 15.5m
Drilling - Buck 13.5, Slug 15.5
thanks
wth were they smoking when they did those numbers?
Reason why 2-slot shotguns are everywhere atm.
Simply not a downside
I think it's interesting that romero hc buck beats slug
And the different between 3-slot and 2-slot romero is 0.4m
What about Lemat pistol?
LeMat pistol is around 10m in my experience
Wait... so my lemat has a better shotgun than the rival hc?
On fresh hunters I always run LeMat bc it is not the best shotgun, but a shotgun in this meta.
Yeah, people is finally catching on to the 2-slot shotgun BS.
I use the pistols often. Often dualies... you lose nothing with the shotgun barrel by going dualie
I feel so vindicated finally lol
Whoa! Didn't realize Drilling shotgun was so good. Gonna start using that instead of the Lemat sometimse
It is noow over a year ago I suggested balancing 2-slot shotguns and people hated it lol
Yeah, like... all HC could lose 2-3m and still be good
They are a hard counter to melee, if you know where they are. Even the pennyshot is.
Yeah, melee and pistols are suffering a lot due to 2-slot shotguns atm.
Devil card take effect AFTER necro? Or does necro counter it?
wdym devil card gets taken away everytime u downed no matter what and it destroys extra bar also
Right. So, when you necro, you get a restoration. Does the restoration come before or after the devil card takes your extra health chunk?
it comes after when u downed and laying on ground u have - 2 bars when u get up and restore u have all back
So, for solos, it has no negative impact
ye
its like relentless is useless for solos u get restoration anyway so dont need to save bar
thx
Anyone know anybody that uses subsonic to good effect? I once saw a pro use it well.
if u remember old necro where u could revive as many times as many bars u had then yeah for that devil card would be pretty bad and downgrade
but todays necro has none downgrades for that
No... but it's usually wasted anyway.
i use subsonic mostly for sparks silencers with krag silencer its also good if u can hit good shots people wont know what hit em
yeah im not really fan of devil card its not worth it if u can hit shots anyway
Well, you lose an extra bar, so that leaves you at 50hp, so if people insta burn you, you have less opportunity to wait it out before you are forced to revive :)
Just realized that FMJ on the trueshot is more or less a straight upgrade
410 MV goes down to 405
The drop range is reduced from 80 to 65 meters but with current pistol bullet drop good luck hitting heads at 70 meters anyways
You do go from 80 to 65 in drop.
So at that point, it is better just to run an Uppercut
Devil card is basically just a buff to solos unless you have 2 charges of Relentless
So in other words it turns into an uppercut but cheaper
And with better ammo economy and less recoil
Tho admittedly recoil doesnt matter on such a gun but yeah
Basically, just how much you value the extra 5m/s and damage.
Pax Trueshot w. FMJ vs Uppercut:
Price: 191 vs 310
Damage: 114 vs 123
Drop: 65m vs 65m
Cycle time: 1.6s vs 1.6s
Muzzle Velocity: 405m/s vs 410m/s
Recoil: 18 vs 23
And medium FMJ pen is better than long ammo pen.
Well with the uppercut you aren't 1 shotting someone with a missing healthbar anyways
Yeah, the Trueshot should for sure lose more MV on its FMJ
Uppercut is a lot better when Hellfire Bombs, Alert Tripwires or yellow barrels are involved
and long ammo is easier to resupply than medium fmj
Scottfield goes from 280m/s to 250m/s and normal Pax goes from 330m/s to 300m/s.
So yeah Trueshot should also lose a little more MV when applying dum dum/fmj
so you mean after losing 50hp?
hardly see any Pax, Scottfield variants either, just base for those on a budget
Spitfire is the way forward
the math checks out, yea
Then the Uppie doesn't have any edge over trueshot, as the trueshot deals 114 damage
Don't special ammo boxes restore 4 special med ammo vs Normal ammo boxes restoring 2 long ammo? Though I guess there are more normal ammo boxes than there are special ones.
on paper, not in my experience, even at range
But also the deployable ammo box restores 10 special med ammo vs 5 normal long ammo
Yes :)
Anyone ever use a deployable medkit?
boxes are what you bring in, crates in the game resupply the same, medium normal or custom is 6 back, long is 2
Well, sure after 40+ meter the trueshot does fall off quicker than uppercut, but like...
Trueshot can still 1-tap chest up to like... 50 something meters?
Then how is long ammo easier to resupply than medium fmj
There are more normal crates ig, but you are telling me 1 special crate restores 3x as much med ammo as one normal crate restores long ammo
because there are more normal ammo crates lying around, custom are much less common and there are compounds where randomly none will spawn
you're much more likely to find 3 normal crates in the time it takes to find 1 special, you can take a gamble but you'll often be reliant on resupply stations unless you bring a box
I mean idk about u but I pretty much always have an ammo box anyways in case of an extended fight happening
And that deployable box gives more more medium fmj than normal long
But then again, most of the time if you bring long ammo you bring a deployable ammobox anyways.
So dunno, just do the same for Trueshot FMJ.
Also it comes with 3 more bullets than an Uppercut too, so even if you only find one custom ammo box in the wild, the uppercut still needs to loot 4 normal ammo boxes to break even.
I usually bring one as well but I often don't need it because I generally make my shots count and usually fights end in a few seconds, 4 consumable slots is limited when there are so many great items you can bring and often a team mate brings a box or I'm playing solo and I would much rather bring guns that aren't heavily reliant on scarce ammo because then you might have to wipe the entire server solo
running the same 4 consumables every match is also boring, regen, vit and recovery shot are already mandatory, they'll come in handy most matches
people rarely appreciate tarot cards despite how insanely strong they are because they're locked in a meta mentality for items they know they will need
Honestly while I also don't entirely like some of the shots feeling mandatory, I also still prefer seeing them over throwable spam
I would like to see non-explosive throwables be more useful
But it's also not really the same as bringing the same weapons every time, you bring the shots, spend them and end up with random throwables or such instead throughout the match
I am happy that I die way less to fragbombs for sure
Yesterday I brought a frag bomb and 2 shots, ended up looting 2 more frag bombs after using the shots
rare not really was few times i take it mostly around time they introduced it but its not worth it unless u are have some tactics with your team, theres plently of medkits in world and u do better if u take vitality shot or regen
more that it's only worth it if you can hit shots
Simply not as good as a regenshot
yeah also 
What I like about the uppercut over the trueshot is that it synergizes better with shotguns. You can score kills on longer ranges when swapping between them
I guess yeah, it does have that 9 damage advantage I guess
dumdums
penpen
spits chaw, and sips his whiskey "Boiah! I ain't good enough to use pen. I AM good enough to make someone bleed."
If I bring the uppercut, it's because my mako needs more ammo.
I'm not good with pen either, only if I see people dip behind fences or just around a wooden wall as a follow up shot
Dualie trueshot with fmj tho, that's a wb machine
spits, again... "I can pen' shot em, if i use leverin' ta fire all my bullets!"
Since they buffed dualies, I haven't given them a shot. I should.
If you can pair them with the devil card you got something truly nasty
I always loved the Mako... the buff was so subtle, nobody that doesn't use it with levering even noticed.
Playing against Trios as a solo these days. Trying not to rat, but also trying to win. I figured I'd have to learn to take out a trio before every player on the trio was out of my league.
For the record... Steel Eyed is an awesome skin. I got him as my random from Twitch. He looks like Logan. And in canon, CAN be Logan, because it's the late 1800s
I am doing the bow challenge and curious what are some good situations to use bow
Bow is utterly versatile
But if they don't know where you are, it's better than a shotgun in doors
provided they're not together
If you gotta kill two people at once in bow range, pull out the throwing knives.
Since every shot close range with the bow is a ohk, you get the challenges done real quick. And if you want to speed it up, just Clash with it. It's cheap.
Use the bow trait... it adds a little damage, and you can use it for a mostly functional melee
Also, don't use poison arrows if your main focus is PvP with it, the poison arrows have worse hip fire
Yeah... and you get half as many.
They need a buff... I find them useless. But concertina has good utility, as does frag.
I only use plain arrows, though. Used to use poison until I learned PvE properly
Bow conc lair rats 
Yeah... they're not quite as extensive as a concertina bomb... but you can get 10 of them.
what secondary would y’all recommend for the bow?
Anyone looking to learn Texas style BBQ, check out Mama and Papa Joe on Youtube. They have changed my life.
I take quartermaster, and my favorite rifle.
Something with range, though. You have up close covered.
Quartermaster or not? If you don't have quartermaster, then either Obrez Drum, Cent Shorty or Haymaker imo
Drilling shorty is also a solid bet
was planning on using quartermaster
haven’t unlocked that one yet
actually most of the stuff listed
Any rifle tbh. Centennial is great due to its velocity, making it a good head popper at range
Berthier for its 21 round long ammo capability
I’ll take a look
I must say, the CryEngine engine is truly amazing. Its relentless pursuit of visual effects deeply captivates me, which is why I love it so much.
Look at these visuals! Incredibly detailed textures and models composed of tens of thousands of polygons.
Can you believe this is the visual quality running on a GTX 1070 graphics card?
And this isn't even the limit of CryEngine's performance. Hunt: Showdown has already undergone a lengthy update, reducing the game's visual effects to suit lower-spec computers.
What I want to say is that this game engine is outstanding, but it's incredibly difficult to learn.
It requires developers who truly understand it to master it, which is a real shame. Such an excellent engine deserves wider recognition, learning, and application. Hopefully, Crytek will provide more technical support for developers using it in the future.
Currently, the official developer documentation for CryEngine is incomplete, and there are very few available video tutorials, directly contributing to the high learning curve of the engine.
Is beautiful
I don't think Unreal Engine can achieve this level of visual quality on a GTX 1070.
Btw what are the chances for a match to be during the night or rainy? Only had like 3 during the last days
Non daytime weather in general has about 25% chance afaik
I also think the atmosphere of the rain scene is great.
But it doesn't occur very often.
You know
The probability of rainy days is not high.
Sling or slingshot tool. Slug deviation, maybe 90 damage, slow rate of fire, loot delay animation to collect ammo from environment.Very silent.
make it launch frags
Get out!
Make it launch frogs
Wish devs could stop tryna put as many pixels as possible on every texture they make
It would have much better range, and unlimited ammo. Slings irl are quite deadly.
Devs making 4k textures that you can't turn off that makes games way bigger than they need to be:
Well you said 90 damage
and dunno, unlimited silence options is already an issue
why have more
My brain adds the movement automatically to some of these images.
Is the vandal 73c not a good secondary for bow and is the challenge have to be hunting bow or is it any bow variation?
Sometimes it feels like they do it on purpose
Maynard Sniper Silencer was a real bad idea
Maynard Silenced should be removed and that's a hill I'll die on
Hunting bow if it says bow. The vandal 73 is never a good secondary unless you have devil card + levering
Vandal is basically just out performed by the Cenny Shorty and Obrez, I like the Vandal tho :)
And bow is bow and really good
Then explain this! :V
Gonna do a no weapon run.
I'm gonna roast you so hard when the video finally loads
They got caught up in each other. Think they might've done some of your damage for you.
Two things... shoulda closed the door as you turned to retreat. Second, you can't just lever at full speed.
Missed all shots and nuked them with the hacking bits 
third thing... I suck, so take that with a grain of salt
Okay... what Hunter Skin makes sense running around throwing knives and axes at everyone?
CAIN
Hmmm... which one is Cain? I don't have them all yet.
Throwing knives could be any dapper lookin' skin tho
Night Seer and his apprentice have the look for it, I think.
Dude looks awful. Should sue the emergency surgeon
Oooh... Gottschalk survivor
You can, I just got chain cucked :/
Chains no longer stop bullets. Or was that an old one?
Ah. Yeah... lost a few matches to chain-intervention
Hmmm... the Rexnor skin looks like he'd be throwing stuff at you.
Ya that's a thrower
Going with the Witch Hunter. She looks like she's ready for anything, and she's a favorite of mine.
Severe German women are kinda awesome.
Luckily not anymore uwu
Wait... there's a superior officer here?
chill here tonight
Okay... axes, knives, and medkit. What should be my fourth tool?
chokes
Flare pistol ofc
I'd replace knives with flare pistol or derringer or something I hate knives
change the medkit for a heavy knife and add the spear
I'll have no blunt damage for immos, so chokes at least have some utility. I'll also bring frontiersman and a tool box
Doing a no-weapon run
Tool box = Blunt
Same as medkit
I feel bad I got my teammate killed bc I forgot the push to talk key 💀
spear/medkit/pennyshot/chokes is the only right answer
I seee
Axes instead of spears is also an acceptable choice imo
Chokes, depends if you're in team or not. I always bring chokes for team play but wouldn't as a solo tbh
Ya but tool box does more damage
First time in a year I'm bringing bladeseer. That trait needs to show in world items or something
Really? I'll keep that in mind.
Does 90 heavy melee damage iirc
Same with ammo box. You can also use conc bombs as melee weapon
Or bear traps
Conc bombs set off immos tho so be mindful
They're rough on the stamina use too
I guess consumables do more damage than tools. Makes sense, for balancing.
Also explains why they don't add a tool-belt bludgeoning damage item
Like, heavy damage. Not just knucks
I was about to say
Grabbed packmule instead of frontiersman by mistake. Well, there's overlap at least.
The fun comes when someone stands up weaponless. Alright, heading in with knives and axes and a can-do attitude.
Make sure you check towers for guns
The point is, lately I've been rushing my shots, and missing at close range. I figured if every shot was a OHK, but every miss was fatal, I'll figure it out.
Next event out in a week or so, still no more info :(
Well, I gotta get the last charm. It's a nice one.
And by "Gotta," I mean I am an adult... that I just need to win a few more of the matches I was gonna play anyway.
How much you missing?
Won't cross-platform compatibility between consoles and PC affect the fairness for console gamers? After all, controllers and keyboards/mice are not comparable.
🤔
Please let me have your lobbies lmaoooooo
It would and that is why, for now, Crytek have said there ain't gonna be console/pc crossplay :)
It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say
👍 ok
I'm wondering, if they really did that, wouldn't they be able to save on server costs? Wouldn't that be better?
Subsequent server maintenance will be more convenient, and content can be unified across all platforms.
But balancing PC and console platforms is indeed an issue.
🤔
It wouldn't be cheaper in that regard.
They are basically using the same server setup anyways.
But it would expand the playerpool for sure :)
But yeah, would be a balancing nightmare
We already have balacing issues bc the game is balanced with both console and PC in mind
That is why explosive ammo got nerfed, it was an issue on console
anyone knows if that setting for audio is worth using it
ok👀
understand
Cryspatial?
Yeah I’m new to this game so I’m not sure if to use it
Yes, but with a little caveat to it.
Speaking of explosive barrels, I feel that the current version has buffed their trigger range and damage range.
Basically, you wanna use some kind of audio enchantment profile, but depending on many factors, you might benefit using one over another :)
Think they are more or less how they always have been, not really noticed anything in that regard.
u got any recommendations on EQ's for peace
For peace?
All right
I see I’ll try with it on and without and see what’s going on
Aaah, nope, I really don't dabble in that bc I don't wanna be too much of a sweat haha
Overall audio was insane with it on
ah was jus wonderin nw
You do want it on, but the question is if you need to use sonic, atmos or cryspatial :)
Bc that depends on your headshape
Damn, Mccree bringin' out the calipers
ohgodno!
Crossplay between console and PC is just miserable for both sides imo
Wow
Console players suffer because they can't aim as precisely as PC players, and on the other end getting a console teammate as a PC player is frustrating af as well
just tried the automat in firing range and I lost my ears
No fps game should have pc-console crossplay
If it's pve it's fine
Sure, should have specified PvP
Does this happen with other guns kinda cool stuff but not sure if you lose audio in gunfights haha
Nitro also makes you go deaf
And I think almost any gun which you can spam fire and has a lot of ammo
Well, there is gun deafining mechanic in Hunt, so the more you fire weapons the more muffled sound becomes for you for a while.
at least I have necro. Immolator broke the hive barrel next to me while I was bludgeoning him to death with a tool box
Avto and Nitro should give your hunter permanent tinnitus, which can be removed with 20 trait points
Does hunt have pc cross play?
Between gamepass and steam? Yeah, but only random crossplay. You cannot invite players on gamepass as a steam player and vice versa
Kinda sorta, PC gamepass and Steam play together, but they cannot invite each other to lobbies.
What about PlayStation
Nope
Nope
Playstation and Xbox play together
They have crossplay no? But not cross invite
ah nice
The tech is simply not there 👊😔
I’m liking this game it’s unique
Sure is!
plus cowboy aspect is so cool
I might squeeze in another couple of hours :V
All right Maybe
Anyone know if barrels have been buffed?
Why is my john victor having a 50% label lmao?
They have not, at least nothing that's been stated by the devs
He a cheap ass!
That 50% save go directly into Mosin stocks
He is still the same price tho :'D
locked exit on the total other side of the map... got chariot seconds too late to troll with it
Well, No hunters killed me, but I never engaged them, either. I have more stuff now than when I started that match. Also, tool box is good immolator melee
btw can you prestige past 100 or is it a hard limit
hard limit atm
P100 is top prestige level
hello hunters. i can’t check myself right now, anyone know how long the current event is still running for?
Imagine the salt in here if a 4* got nuked by a 6* 15k hours P690 player
Crytek talk about a lot of things
