hunt-general

[static briar]

It makes me wish i focused more on grinding it

ive got hella hours but I stalled between prestiges

[young horizon]

dude these servers are fucking horrendous

[jaunty patio]

I've taken breaks, stopped at 50 for months, and then took it kinda easy playing once a week for a long while so it took me 5 years to only just get there last month.
These events are a great time to hardcore grind it

A lobby wipe + checking every tower and supply point for XP boons can almost reliably get you a level 50 hunter

[dense sleet]

i didnt do it for 6 years, then in the last 4 months ive gotten 47

[young horizon]

Im only like level 43

Prestige *

[dense sleet]

i usually get one a day when i play

[astral moss]

At least you got the pvp experience more often in duo.

[dense sleet]

like today ive gotten 1 1/2

my record in a single day is 3

that was fucking crazy, played only like 4 hunters that day

just kept winning and killing lobbies

[white onyx]

dayum brother how much do you play 😂

[dense sleet]

not a lot, i work a fuckton

[white onyx]

fair

still extremely impressive

[dense sleet]

i dont play during the week normally and if i do its only like, 2 hours

[white onyx]

crazy

didn’t know how much of an impact playing really good had on the progression

because I mean I wouldn’t know

[young horizon]

like actually tho

[dense sleet]

playing lvl 50s makes all the xp go straight ti your bloodline

[young horizon]

have the server providers just been getting ddosed 24/8?

[dense sleet]

im having no issues NAE/W

[young horizon]

cuz every day ive tried playing NAE just rubber bands out the ass

I just rubber banded back into boss lair 9 times trying to leave on half hp lmao.

[white onyx]

is the xp always getting split until then? Didn’t know that

[dense sleet]

it gets split between your hunter and bloodline until the hunter is 50

then afte that its all bloodline

[white onyx]

ahhh I see

good to know

[dense sleet]

honestly, playing a lvl 50 and even if htey die, you get 50% of xp earned that match. die after a decent amount of kills and you get more htan if you retire'd them

its risky of course

[dense quartz]

i stopped prestiging until i could get the hunter with the skull facepaint and bowler hat again after everyone was removed for 1896. He's one of the damn promo hunters in the loading screen and after action report for God's sake

[wise plume]

some more discount on dlcs

[white onyx]

what do you understand under decent amount of kills? I feel like it’s drastically different from what I imagine

[dense sleet]

a team

3-5 is a decent amount to me

[dense quartz]

that should've been Ambrose Hazen's Tier 3 skin honestly

his 3 is booty buttcheeks compared to his dapper Tier 2

[white onyx]

that’s fair. Around 3 kills is what I’m currently averaging if I don’t die instantly

[astral moss]

As long as the kill count its a good kill, like if you kill someone at 100m and cant apply pressure with it its not that good.

[white onyx]

Kinda gave up on longer range fire fights

because I’m not hitting anything

literally

[young horizon]

🗿

[lavish hull]

I'm speetchless

But good point : I have rampage.

[astral moss]

That's good, this way you are playing agressive.

[ancient sage]

Did they nerf shotbolt while I was gone or something????

[dense sleet]

no

its still one of hte best ammos in the game

[ancient sage]

ok thanks👍

[dense sleet]

its just always been super buggy

[ancient sage]

Its my favorite fs

[dense sleet]

and sometimes the pellets will spawn behind the guy and do nothing, but that depends on server latency

emphasis on server, player latency doesnt effect this

[ancient sage]

thats the downfall

[unkempt stratus]

does anyone maybe know why this happened? I didnt walk over my trap and another hunter didnt shoot it because they would've gotten kill credit? https://medal.tv/games/hunt-showdown/clips/lDU8l9uSC9UKT_bj5?invite=cr-MSxIT0IsNTk0NjA1NzA&v=19

this game has never confused me this much

the only cause I can think of is desync

[unique trail]

Hi guys can I say something

[dense sleet]

no

[jaunty patio]

I've seen this happen in a couple clips now, and the connecting bit is the turn you do. Something about turning the character model could be bringing it close enough to trigger the trap, despite the distance.
Until it gets resolved, back away from traps without turns and hopefully that will prevent issues.

[quiet hinge]

It's possible to kill a hive without getting poisoned if you are fast and agile enough

[wicked yacht]

Yeah, try running melee with reach like riposte or the spear

[quiet hinge]

lol

[wicked yacht]

I misread that as a question lol

[quiet hinge]

thats a tip on a loading screen lmao

[wicked yacht]

Bot moment

[thin fable]

or just run + heavy attack their head

they die in like one or two hits

[atomic coral]

SERVERS

[dry pine]

i won the alienware laptop

[queen hawk]

U didn’t

[mighty sandal]

Guys, Im trying to get the entry points for a very cool giveaway laptop and there's 1 last quest I couldn't do which is the Hunt Partner Code, do you guys know what is it?

[atomic coral]

Haha good scam attempt

[quartz ivy]

Saw this and thought it looked straight out of hunt converting a bolt action to lever action is and interesting idea

[mighty sandal]

Scaming? im trying to get myself an entry to the giveaway session, what are you talking about?

[dreamy cave]

Ask a partner

[mighty sandal]

Sorry I'm single and happy

[dreamy cave]

Then no code for you bucko

[mighty sandal]

Oke so that's how Crytek giveaway works by passing around the code to people they're interested.

[dreamy cave]

I got a code

[mighty sandal]

Mind telling me what is it? I'll be happy to get a place 😊

[dreamy cave]

Lol

[mighty sandal]

It doesn't work

[bitter wyvern]

I don't know if I just suck, or I haven't moved from 2 stars no matter how many good games I've had.

And I just died 30 seconds after spawning.

Okay.

There is a round that is going to make me go back to console hunt.

[raven totem]

watch out for spawns

it's the first thing you should be thinking about in a match

[supple canyon]

so since tarot cards aren't going away, are we still losing them after the event ends?

[supple canyon]

console hunt has nothing to do with spawn fights lol

[atomic coral]

Been burned too many times running straight for the clue, I always wait a bit now and check for hunters crossing the roads, and if they spawned out of line-of-sight then I'll be the one behind them while they get the clue

[raven totem]

like no matter what, watch for the cross spawns

there could be only one other person in the lobby, and they could have a neighbor spawn

[supple canyon]

you could even have 3 teams of 3 spawn same POI

[atomic coral]

Or you could have all 4 trios spawn at one corner compound. Had it happen a few times

[raven totem]

it's way more rare these days but ya

idk if it's entirely possible anymore

[supple canyon]

I've only recently seen 3 + 1 at a neighbor compound that runs over when all the hootin and hollerin starts

[raven totem]

ya

salters is a big one on that

[supple canyon]

and terminus

[raven totem]

yup

[supple canyon]

what's that one west of slaughter

the southwest ranch

[raven totem]

devont

[supple canyon]

that one is a hotbed of early fights

yeah

[raven totem]

wallbang central

[supple canyon]

fr

[raven totem]

I mean slaughter is as well

but ya, both good compounds

[atomic coral]

Peal Plantation has 4 spawns, Terminus Trainyard has 4 (where I had the last lobby spawn fight I recall)

[supple canyon]

yeah those big Northeast compounds are literally like 50% chance of having a spawn fight it feels like

[raven totem]

pearl has been feeling really empty for me on spawn since it came back

[supple canyon]

alain's fish is another

[supple canyon]

must be nice my last 3 spawns on pearl have been fights I'm pretty sure lmao

[raven totem]

alains is one where spawn fights are fairly common but not massive ones where 3 or more show up

[supple canyon]

yeah usually just two teams shooting over that pier out to the white shack

[atomic coral]

I take that back, Terminus has seven

20% of Mammon's Gulch spawns are on one compound.

[supple canyon]

I wonder if crytek didn't counterweight them a bit because of that. 20% of spawn locations, but like 10% of the weighting.

[upbeat lark]

I have a question for the new update but I believe it won't get answered

[supple canyon]

no

[upbeat lark]

Just curious if we would still be able to use our own pfp for the game or I misunderstood and that wouldn't be changed

[supple canyon]

they didn't say specifically but I also didn't think about that. Maybe it defaults to your steam (or whatever console) pfp and then swaps when you choose one.

that would be the simplest option that would only add options and not take away options.

[upbeat lark]

I wish the same

[bitter wyvern]

I feel like they should fix this. Somehow. I hate the fact you can run into hunters seconds after spawning, and may or may not get the jump on you.

Sounds aren't enough.

[supple canyon]

I usually pair the sounds with using my good ol mark one eyeballs

but really I agree, I just don't want them to do away with spawn fights because sometimes I'm just itching to get started

[bitter wyvern]

Counterpoint- Spawn fights are only fun for the person winning.

[raven totem]

good thing they've already been nerfed. pay attention to your surroundings

[atomic coral]

Terminus is intentional, they wouldn't have put that many there otherwise, and it's a train station so that many makes sense.
4% change of two teams spawning at Terminus, 0.8% chance of 3 teams, .16% chance of 4.
That's the highest chance.
Other maps have lower spawn points per map and compound, chance of two teams spawning is 2% or less.

[raven totem]

where did you get those numbers?

4 seems low for just a normal spawn fight

[full jungle]

Probably counted a the spawns and how many are at terminus specifically

[raven totem]

I agree that they're already low, wasn't picking at that or anything

[atomic coral]

Just probability calculations, 7/33 spawns at terminus means there is a 20% chance of any one team spawning there.
0.2^n where n is the number of teams yield the probability of that many teams in the same compound.
Doing the math for chance of a team on either side of your spawn would be a little trickier.

[raven totem]

except I'm pretty sure thats not how spawn placement is done

it's not all pure chance

there are specific spawns where spawn fight is near absolute

[atomic coral]

Well then that means Crytek isn't making it fair odds and wants spawn fights.

[raven totem]

thats not true at all

there are systems in place it seems so when you spawn in one spot, you don't get a large advantage over close spawning teams

spawn fights might be 1/15

feels like 1/10 but I'm not counting closely

[atomic coral]

That's still deterministic, not "fair" random chance

[raven totem]

because not all spawns are fair in relation

[soft blaze]

[ionic walrus]

@distant sentinel

[hot mortar]

man i hate bows so much and everyone who uses them

so fckn annoying to play against, how tf is an arrow more damage than a bullet

[urban compass]

hey quick question if anyone can answer for the pc LFG chat is that steam players mainly or is gamepass using that LFG

[royal cloak]

damn bow players

[wicked fox]

Arrows existed before bullets so it's seniority.

[raven totem]

mainly steam

[ashen mural]

I tell you lotta duos in trios today

[sick bramble]

arrows do more damage than bullets irl no?

[ashen mural]

Holy smokes saw my first Maynard sniper silence on a TEAM just now

Two blokes fighting the other guy waaaaay back

[sick bramble]

wait im curious now, do arrows do more damage than bullets?

(irl)

[ashen mural]

Dam zombies always ruining my shots

[sick bramble]

i read somewhere that an arrow does actually cause more damage compared to a bullet

[dreamy cave]

Probably depends on the bullet

[sick bramble]

let's say a 7.62x54

which mosin uses

[void geode]

there are so many variables to consider there

[unreal zinc]

• also what kind of arrow

[sick bramble]

normal arrow

[void geode]

normal arrow lol

[sick bramble]

idk im not an arrow expert lol

[void geode]

id say your looking for broadhead

[leaden herald]

which kind of bow matters too

[unreal zinc]

true

[sick bramble]

standard bow 😂

[void geode]

id say like an arrow is just gonna make you bleed all over the place and be very brutal but a bullet will just kill you

same result

[leaden herald]

there is no such thing as a standard bow

[sick bramble]

why does the bullet kill faster tho? arrow causes more damage i think

[leaden herald]

I think bullet causes more just due to having higher energy

[void geode]

your not going to be able to produce the amount of energy through a bow that gunpowder and a gun will

[leaden herald]

I guess some huge longbows with heavy arrows would beat lighter guns

[void geode]

bows have a very limited effective range

because the power comes from you

[sick bramble]

mhm

yeah makes sense

[leaden herald]

people underestimate how much energy a bullet actually has

[void geode]

even the blunt damage of a bullet can be devastating

if ur wearing plates irl u can die from blunt damage if the bullet dosent go through

[leaden herald]

yea, that's why maces were quite common in history

well one of the reasons anyway

[void geode]

id probably rather get stabbed and die then get slammed in the head by a hammer

[sick bramble]

if your lung get hit bad ur done yeah

[leaden herald]

I'd imagine the hammer kills you quicker tho so I'd choose that based on that assumption

[sick bramble]

hammer definitely is quicker

fuck getting stabbed lol

man, war is so brutal with swords how did they do it

[void geode]

they lived in the time of doom and despair

nothing else to do but die lol

get the plague and have 10 kids

[sick bramble]

it was tough

[ashen mural]

Man I hate the place in greedy gulch that’s on fire Constantly I get stuck on every lil bloody peice of wood imaginable

OH ya wanna turn a corner NAHHHHH a lil piece of wood in the way

Anyway that’s my salt poured

[full jungle]

Perchance

A skill issue?

[ashen mural]

Oh yes definitely

Without a doubt

[full jungle]

[ashen mural]

I know what I am don’t worry

Just had to make myself feel better before I came back to reality

[raven totem]

are you hyped for inferno's return?

[raven totem]

you just air strafe and bait shots btw

[hollow cloak]

Opinion

[near robin]

Oce players complain about dead servers jump on west then the cycle continues on and on

[west topaz]

hi

[stone basin]

Olay this confuses me are they saying just because someone plays for more than 10 hours a week their opinion just doesn’t matter orr

[fathom shale]

They are basically just saying that the majority of the people who put that the BP felt slightly too fast are also people who are able to dedicate more time to playing the game

So they likely still want to optimize it further to make sure that even those that may not be able to dedicate as much time can still complete it as well within reason

[stone basin]

I mean I get the people who can only play like 2-3 bounty hunt matches a day but like even if you do that weeklys should speed you up alot so I feel like we could make the bp a bit longer so there is something to actually work towards for people who already have everything but I guess with the new stats for guns and such maybe they could work towards like a conversion pistol gold badge or sum

[wheat pilot]

Idk personally I like the fact that the bp is fairly easy to complete

If I'm paying real money for it I don't really want it to be a task which takes significant effort or a large amount of time

[frigid canopy]

Hello. Question: What's going on with this game? I feel like there's been a surge of cheaters lately. I'm incredibly annoyed. I'm now getting shot in the head instantly, without any warning or chance, through any piece of wood, the first time, no matter where or when. The opponent always knows where I am.

[stone basin]

Im not saying make it so you have to dedicate everything to it but like just make it so its something to work towards for certain people and if I am paying for a battlepass personally I wanna make it last because I wanna work towards the cool stuff so I can be hype when I get it

[frigid canopy]

Above all, the enemy weapons are so incredibly bad that you have to wonder how they manage it. Mostly single-shot weapons without aiming aids. Every shot is an absolute bullseye, as if I were playing against gods.

[wheat pilot]

Single shot rifles are quite powerful in this game

I wouldn't call them "incredibly bad" certainly

[frigid canopy]

It's not about them being single-shot weapons, that's just the icing on the cake. The point is, I have 1600 hours in this game and I'm starting to feel like no matter what I do, as soon as I see an enemy I'm instantly dead before I can even react.

My teams have people who set themselves on fire and kill the team with barrels. They pick me up in the barbed wire or use the Necromancer in open areas. The enemy is completely superior, and even when I have a good position, the enemy always shoots before me... it's getting ridiculous.

[bold crypt]

Oh cool! I was just sad i had none and thought I'd never see a new one appear but my hopes are back up then.

[opal dawn]

I feel you, I think people are just getting better

[sick bramble]

you can't just assume all of those are cheaters

[empty eagle]

If you suspect a cheater, I'd report them. With that being said, it's incredibly rare and more likely than not they're hearing you and your team and thus have the upper hand on the engagement

[astral moss]

Not everyone have the time to do all the quest every week.
It would be better if it was easier to unlock thing.

[whole furnace]

I mean, all the single shots are some the most straight flying bullets in the game.
So that is the rifles you wanna use if you wanna go for headshots.

Sparks is the long ammo rifle with the highest base drop range of any of the long ammo rifles :)

[green imp]

a newbie question - how come people are banishing a spider 5 mins from the match? I only found 1 rift and someone is already banishing it
Are there any glitches how people are finding them ASAP without all clues?

[empty eagle]

Variety of ways

Melee, explo, fire

Most bosses can be banished pretty quick if people get to them fast

[grand pike]

Best way to complete Battle Pass is wait until all your challenges are unlocked play with rando's and complete it in a day or two. Lol

Completed all challenges for first 2 months in a couple hours.

[empty eagle]

I've not had the case of spawning on the boss compound in a while

[green imp]

but how do you know where is the boss untill you complete all clues/rifts?

[grand pike]

People are getting cards to reveal locations on infil, spawning on the boss, and killing them quickly with different techniques.

[whole furnace]

Well, it can spawn in the first one compound you roll up to.
And there are 6 teams in duos, so the odds are there

[green imp]

the card - you mean the Traits you can "purchase" for your points?!

[whole furnace]

Nope, the tarot cards

[grand pike]

The World card reveals all boss locations instantly. 2x Tower = Dead Boss almost instantly when in range

[whole furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-showdown-tarot-your-fate-awaits-gif-13581916741226919444

[green imp]

ok haven't got/seen them yet. thanks

another question - I'm just playing the second day and level 25. How come is my teammate level 100 and prestige level like 30. Who will be my opponnents then? I keep dying with a lot when playing in duo as people are shooting with from the distance I cannot even see them from

I wonder how the matchmaking is working in this game

[whole furnace]

Game have been around for 7, almost 8 years and have a somewhat low playerbase.
It would be impossible to have a "new player pool".

[quartz forum]

level and prestige doesnt mean much, look at the MMR rating they have (the stars)

[green imp]

the bigger is better?

[grand pike]

The prestige is about time spent not necessarily skill

[quartz forum]

higher amount of stars is better skilled player

[whole furnace]

+/-

[grand pike]

Their MMR (Stars) is the rating

[green imp]

how are the skills defined?!

[whole furnace]

Kill/Deaths

[wheat pilot]

Take sticky bombs and maybe the tower card and you can pretty much insta kill the spider

Not to mention if one of ur teammates takes the world and you get a lucky spawn

[green imp]

i was more about how come people find him in 2 mins after the start. but the answer was given - taro cards

[quartz forum]

or lucky spawn

[green imp]

means that your first rift will be a spider?!

[whole furnace]

I mean, you have around 1/16th chance that the first compound you spawn in front has the boss in it.
Then factor in that there can be 2 bosses on the map AND this is a roll for basically every team and the odds that at least one team starts with the boss in their first compound is rather high.

[wheat pilot]

It happens, I wouldn't even say it's that rare

To spawn on the boss lair

[green imp]

ok so in case if the spineder was banished by other team, what do I do? just extract to get XP or better stay and find until the last moment?

[quartz forum]

no, but the boss can be in any compound. if your team happen to spawn at that compound at the start of a match you can quickly go to it and kill the boss, without having to look for clues etc

[whole furnace]

You go fight them and steal their bounty! :D

[green imp]

but how do you find/see if if you spanw there. It might be in one of the building next to it? Are there any clues how people understand that it's close to it without Taro?

[quartz forum]

if you're close you'll definitely hear it 😄

[green imp]

what's the point if they have a dark vision wallhacks

[whole furnace]

Oh! So when you are in dark sight, the upper left corner where the boss symbol is will pulse in white or red if you are near the boss :)

[whole furnace]

They only have it for 5 seconds and it is ain't really that precise

[wheat pilot]

You just go get the clues like you usually would. If the compound is the boss lair you will hear the boss and the boss icon in the corner will start flashing in dark sight @green imp

[whole furnace]

Also @green imp have you played they two tutorials? :)

[green imp]

two?! there was one to kill butcher and spidy. and that's it

but it' was a bit hazy, I think I need to replay it again

[whole furnace]

That is the two turtorials, they explain a lot about the mechanics

[frigid ibex]

Sometimes it's very obvious where the boss is after uncovering one clue or two clues. Like when it's a corner bounty

Its usually pretty clear on the greying out on the map

[green imp]

I kinda was ok before level 15, as I found and banished like 5 spiders, but now on level 25 and despite solo or in 2 teams I cannot find him at all for the last 10 games. People are finding the spider almost instantly

[frigid ibex]

They are most likely just spawning on it

[quartz forum]

been a bit unlucky then i guess, its the ways of hunt 😄

[frigid ibex]

There's also methods to instantly kill bounty

[whole furnace]

@green imp look at this picture here, you can see how the butcher icon is white, that means "the boss is near you and there is no enemies nearby" if its red that means "the boss is near youy and there ARE enemies nearby too!" :)

[leaden herald]

there's methods to instantly kill me

[rocky citrus]

You should know that in 1896, no lone wolf player in Louisiana was innocent.

[frigid ibex]

A dynamite would do that

[quartz forum]

wth is that lock under the boss?

[wheat pilot]

There are 12 people in the match and it's likely that at least one team spawns near the boss so you kinda just have to get used to fighting them for the bounty after they already take it. Dark sight only lasts for 5 seconds and it's not precise so it's not that bad. Just fight them and over time you will get better.

[frigid ibex]

They finished event

[ancient cave]

is that new???

[quartz forum]

we can finish the event?

[green imp]

ok thanks all

[ancient cave]

tbh I've kinda stopped caring about playing after events cuz I get burned out easily now

can you just not get a pledge mark from event points then?

[frigid ibex]

Pretty sure not

[ancient cave]

damn

[frigid ibex]

Lock would be there when you unlocked the bonus charm thing

[fluid temple]

first event chat kinda nervous

[frigid ibex]

Before

[quartz forum]

so you cant take the extra bounty anymore after you unlocked the bonus charm thing? 🤔

[white tartan]

does anyone kown how to fix the problem then you set your game on bounty clash and et changes it back to bounty hunt again?

[frigid ibex]

No that's just the icon that shows your earned battlepass points in that session. When you've finished the event there's no use to gaining more points besides pledgemarks

[tranquil cove]

I just had my first teammate rage quit and I actually got a kill too sadge

[quartz forum]

ah okay so pledgemarks are still available in games, got it

[whole furnace]

No fix atm

[quartz forum]

random teammate rage quits are the best

[tranquil cove]

He got head shot and then I picked 1 off but got headshot by the other

[quartz forum]

classic

[tranquil cove]

Are you instantly dead if you're headshot or something?

Or did they just get mad

[opal dawn]

You get downed yes

But as long as you have 1 bar left you can be picked up

[tranquil cove]

P sure they did

[frigid ibex]

And a team

[opal dawn]

Yes, and Myth was in a team

[tranquil cove]

I was the one alive shockingly

I've been trying to break bad FPS habits for this game

Like peeking too much

[opal dawn]

If you're all downed you're dead tho

[tranquil cove]

Ofc

[frigid ibex]

Its not bad just don't repeek same spot

[tranquil cove]

Once I am able to spot where shots are coming from better I think I'll have a better time tbh

[rocky citrus]

Was this video suggested by the community created by AI? It looks cool and could be used as a team game end-of-game cutoff animation, though it might look like something out of Call of Duty.🤔

[tranquil cove]

And ofc better aim...lol

[opal dawn]

Pro tip, get the trait Blast Sense, you can see gunshots up to like 200 meters in dark sight

[frigid ibex]

A good thing in most fps game is moving a lot. You're harder to hit and you become unpredictable if you keep peeking different angles

[tranquil cove]

Yeah that's what I have a habit of doing in FPS games

[opal dawn]

You don't see subsonic ammo and crossbows/arrows tho

[quartz forum]

people actually use blast sense?

[tranquil cove]

well that help me get game sense?

And how will it show up in dark sight?

[white tartan]

i do, and i am 6 star

[opal dawn]

I don't, but it's decent for newer players to get accustomed to distances and pinpointing

[opal dawn]

Just try it

[frigid ibex]

Its AI. The chain pistol magically becomes unchained

[tranquil cove]

Sure

[quartz forum]

hmm interesting

[opal dawn]

It'll show up as a wobbly blob on the screen, it's very accurate

Like this in dark sight

[spark plaza]

amogus

[tranquil cove]

Oh

[ancient cave]

I like that the guy on the right is very obviously aiming his rifle with how precise it is but the rest of him is making it look like he's just posing

[rocky citrus]

Yes, you noticed that detail.

[frigid ibex]

His revolving rifle becomes a lever action somehow

[empty eagle]

Yeah, it's AI

Oop dizz got cha

[rocky citrus]

yeah Very cool

[raven totem]

I mean no body was going to do that, ai didn't take that from anyone to be fair

[rocky citrus]

Perhaps that AI-generated animation could be used as a team settlement animation after the game ends. I think that's a good suggestion; it would look really cool.

[ancient cave]

generative ai made my wife leave me

[raven totem]

it's neat to show off a concept

[tranquil cove]

Got it

[opal dawn]

Damn, that's a step up from people marrying their chatgpt character

[mild flower]

nah it most likely was trained to do that by unconsenting people/animators
but oh well that's not really a discussion for here huh

[astral moss]

Lol you can do that ?

[frigid ibex]

Are you seeking revenge?

[raven totem]

people are weird drag, don't under estimate how weird people get

[opal dawn]

Bruh, a friend of mine linked me to a subreddit called characterAI, it made me want to never touch a computer again

[frigid ibex]

People have married fictional chara ters

[astral moss]

I am weird too, but that's another level.
I can understand them tho.

[rocky citrus]

Hunt Showdown hasn't had a new boss in a long time we need a new boss to increase the game's difficulty and add a fresh element.🤔

[quartz forum]

im gonna marry the butcher from hunt

[ancient cave]

the server rules prevent me from saying what I'd do to the one and only generative AI if I ever saw them

[frigid ibex]

A new boss doesn't add difficulty tbh

[mild flower]

unless true roaming

[whole furnace]

We biggolator 1½ years ago

[raven totem]

a new boss boss doesn't accomplish anything

and the novelty is lost quickly

[astral moss]

Latest boss was 1 years ago, that's ok.

[mild flower]

unless true roaming

[astral moss]

And if you count the double bear as a boss even less than one years.

[tranquil cove]

As someone new to the game what is the newest boss?

[mild flower]

hellborn

[ancient cave]

that's a wild target actually 🤓

[tranquil cove]

I can't spell teehee...

[rocky citrus]

All right

[astral moss]

Erm aktualy it give a bounty so its a boss.

[ancient cave]

is the event poi thing a boss

[frigid ibex]

Its a boss

[opal dawn]

I die to it every time, so yes

[frigid ibex]

Like it's weird to give it an exception

[mild flower]

I'm a boss

[rocky citrus]

👀 But I want the developers to add a new boss, the bat.
You know

[frigid ibex]

Ok can I banish you

[whole furnace]

eh

[ancient cave]

I'm trying to argue on hunt official at 6 am hush

[quartz forum]

worth it

[ancient cave]

if this game adds a fucking flying enemy I quit

[raven totem]

I'm alawys down to argue conversate

[ancient cave]

they will not be unique with it they will make it's special ability staying out of reach

[quartz forum]

giant beetle boss

[frigid ibex]

Flying hellhounds

[astral moss]

If you want to argue then.

[opal dawn]

With enough explosives, all ai can be a flying enemy!

[serene river]

Beetle boss

[frigid ibex]

Your pfp

[quartz forum]

dammit now i want a flying enemy

[serene river]

A giant fire beetle w a big dynamite bundle strapped to it's back

Bring it

[ancient cave]

there was a guy a long time ago who made a decent sized game idea suggestion to add some freaky bird enemy, think like the caelid birds, and the idea was actually interesting but he decided to add a bit about getting an achievement once you see it, and the once it sees you, and then a THIRD once it came at you and I think that small bit invalidated the enitre thing

[opal dawn]

Didn't they kinda word something in their 2026 roadmap blog that we'd have to look up for a threat?

[frigid ibex]

Yeah they meant text books. They're gonna make us read and look for answers in the book

[raven totem]

I giant bat wild target

that breaths fire

only spawns on night maps

[whole furnace]

Every map should have their own wild target

[raven totem]

can pick up players and drop them from three stories, then breath fire on their bodies

[ancient cave]

my very original hunt boss idea of a wendigo in the opposite of the north and maybe even a werewolf

[opal dawn]

And do a supersonic scream that causes stun+bleed

[frigid ibex]

Yeah. Desalle should be a ship that's a wild target

[raven totem]

ye ye

Grugs comming in with the good ideas

[opal dawn]

We need the southern version which is the Rougarou

[raven totem]

we even have a skin for that

[frigid ibex]

Does it oneshot

[opal dawn]

No, but Glide's pick up and drop suggestion will

[frigid ibex]

Pushover

[raven totem]

and the stun and bleed thing can freak out and cycle fast like scrapbeaks windmill

[frigid ibex]

AI that doesn't one shot will get one shot

[ancient cave]

I always wanted horse monster
horses can be creepy if they want to, their bone structure can make for creepy monsters

[opal dawn]

My idea for that is those half-horses. They lay perfectly still and when you close in they start neighing and crawling on their two front legs

[ancient cave]

I'd like that

[quartz forum]

lets get a centaur while we're at it

[opal dawn]

They can just lunge at you as well at a distance

[ancient cave]

mainly because the horse suffers and I want revenge for all the horses that have wronged me in life

[opal dawn]

wtf have you been doing that horses are a recurring tormentor of your life

[ancient cave]

I live in the midwest I've been on horses since I was 5

and then there was that one moment in the brothers grimm movie

[opal dawn]

That's a gnarly scene

[raven totem]

and once they're triggered they never stop screaming

[clever flare]

good morning my pretties

i went from level 1 to level 35 in a single session yesterday

hapy

[ancient cave]

epic

[astral moss]

Like the hive you mean ?

[leaden herald]

what's that

[sudden granite]

got one nvm

[opal dawn]

Could you then share? Cuz I haven't heard of those codes before

[sudden granite]

EMILIAB

[quartz forum]

no, like an actual flying monster

[opal dawn]

thanks

[astral moss]

How did you kill it quietly ?

[raven totem]

it would have swoop down times

[quartz forum]

like any other thing you kill quietly

[astral moss]

I hope it didn't fly too high then.

[restive needle]

are they keeping the cards after the event or nah?

[mystic mulch]

As long as it doesn't have a ranged attack it should be fine.

[quartz forum]

thought so

[opal dawn]

They are

[restive needle]

how about the ones in the inventory?

they getting wiped?

[quartz forum]

no

[opal dawn]

Not sure, but I guess they'll stay

The cards are gonna be a permanent feature

[restive needle]

should i sell or keep

[mystic mulch]

why would they be?

[leaden herald]

flying + ranged + blows up when hit + no head so no headshots

[astral moss]

I hope so !!!

[restive needle]

but i mean are the ones in the inventory getting removed?

[astral moss]

Man if i lose my card that i stack for a whole event i am gonna be mad.

[restive needle]

cuz they 150 each and i have like a 100

[mystic mulch]

A fellow Big Lemat enjoyer I see.

[restive needle]

haha

[restive needle]

im afraid thats going to happen too

[leaden herald]

indeed

I follow in thy footsteps, old timer

[astral moss]

I am gonna do a screen of my collection of card before the update, so if they delete our inventory i will do a ticket.

[quartz forum]

why would they get rid of the cards in your inventory if the cards are gonna be a permanent game feature?

[astral moss]

idk, its cryteck.

[opal dawn]

Yeah, even if they aren't planning on doing it they could do it accidentally or it bugs out or something

[mystic mulch]

"Did we make sure to tell the intern not to press the Delete Player Inventory button?"

"It'll be fine"

[astral moss]

i am gonna be really mad if this happen.

[quartz forum]

Use the tower card in their headquarters

[opal dawn]

If it works, they're ai, if it don't, they're Hunters and you better have packed a pennyringer

Gonna be fun to see if the water bottle consumable is gonna have any uses outside the first week

[astral moss]

Depend what it does.

[opal dawn]

Maybe solos will toss one at themselves before going into combat and you'll have to wait longer to burn 'em

[astral moss]

Like if its holy water and you get bonus damage when you spray it on a weapon.

[opal dawn]

It's gonna be fire related, they've stated that they're gonna have a douse mechanic in the next updates

Not this one, but next year sometime

If we get that with oil bottles, that'd be funny

[astral moss]

If its only to counter fire its lame.

[opal dawn]

Make some nasty trip mines with hidden mini barrels

[astral moss]

Fire isn't that strong anyway, like i hope its not that.

[acoustic vessel]

wsg brotha

[young raven]

hunt

[tranquil cove]

I feel every game has "sweat" skins any skins that I should avoid to well not be assumed as a sweat or really good player 💀 ?

[quartz forum]

mosin avtomat

[fathom shale]

Just use whatever you want

[mild flower]

Probably Reptilian and Headsman. Headsman's camouflage got nerfed but it was recent enough that he's still stigmatized.

But as Diiba said, use what you want.

some people still see Cain as the sweat skin

living in the past smh

[fathom shale]

I haven't seen the complaining about reptilian or headsman in ages tbh

Not even Cain

It just stopped out of nowhere

I guess people moved on to the next thing to complain about or something

[mild flower]

the issue is the lack of contrast

not just with the environment but with themselves

being a solid colour and having their body shape covered by clothing makes it kind of hard to distinguish imo

[whole furnace]

Feel like due to how the 2.0 update changed lighting everyone is more washed out and equally hidden.

So the "sweat skins" ain't really that much of difference vs any other Hunter skin

[fathom shale]

Fair

I also miss the more "raw" look of pre engine upgrade Hunt

I don't care for raw graphics in games, I prefer aesthetics and playability

[whole furnace]

I miss being able to look inside windows at distance and not see a black blob

[mild flower]

at the same time that does add a layer of strategy

[mystic mulch]

Even free hunter skins can fade into the background with the right lighting. It's kinda silly.

But probably more fair overall.

[whole furnace]

eeeeh

Like, don't mind a little fade, but this feel too much

[mystic mulch]

what strategy?

[astral moss]

This.

[mystic mulch]

[mild flower]

the decision between breaking or leaving the glass, for both attackers and defenders

and playing around the 1-way visibility if you are close to glass and the other is far or vice versa

You might want to break the glass for greater visibility, but it will be less of an advantage if you get close to it and your enemy is far and it will be loud

[mystic mulch]

That's a good point.

[mild flower]

i think there should be some amount of visual impairment when looking through glass at range, but it may be too much right now

[astral moss]

Depend the glass and what you want to do, some window are vault point.

[mild flower]

this too

[mild flower]

@mystic mulch you may want to break the glass pre-emptively so your position is not revealed later when you vault through that window in a push or rotate.

[mystic mulch]

I feel like breaking glass is basically always preferable if you're attacking a compound.

[astral moss]

Not really.

[mild flower]

More often than when defending, but not always

[paper anvil]

I mean,only if you want to distract the enemy inside

But if you want stealth,def not

[astral moss]

Like if there is a window above where you are pushing from its better to don't destroy it.

This way you can hear if someone is gonna come from above.

[ruby plaza]

Anyone having problems connecting in the Asian servers?
My friend keeps getting disconnected

he never had this problem before

[clever flare]

welp

winning streak always comes to an eld

end

[astral moss]

Like you guys see the little door that is facing the lake at lockbay ?
Yesterday we fight there, so i kill one person in front of this door with steel balls and i need to back cause they are trying to wallbang me, so i go upstair to come from above while they revive ther friend, and the window wasn't destroyed, like if they were smart they would hear the window breaking and maybe react to my play.
But they didn't so they get double heavy melee bomb lance and gg.

[clever flare]

btw how do i see every skin i have

do i have to check every single weapon i got

[quartz forum]

yes 🙂

[astral moss]

Nobody care of my story i am sad...

[empty eagle]

Mmmm

[quartz forum]

its ok

[empty eagle]

Lamnce

Very good

[clever flare]

turns out i have a berthier skin i've never used

[quartz forum]

i want a random auto skin equip option

[clever flare]

same

[royal sparrow]

Was there any talk of Ashbloom coming back or is that just a condition that most Hunters are happy to have gone?

[astral moss]

Inferno is coming back based on the road map, so ashbloom should be after it.

Like if they bring inferno back i don't see any reason to ignore ashbloom after.

[quartz forum]

i forgot we ever had ashbloom tbh

[astral moss]

Was so good ngl.

I prefer rain but ashbloom and inferno was so cool.

[clever flare]

can we agree ghoul is a really cool trait

[astral moss]

No.

[clever flare]

i wish it wasn't points

make it like 2 or even 1

it's so underplayed

but i really like it

[astral moss]

Yeah some trait are way too expensive for what they do.

Like bullet grubber at 4 point, wth is that.

[quartz forum]

it has cool animation though, worth it for aestatics

[astral moss]

Yeah but its a noob trait according to someone.

[clever flare]

how is it a noob trait

[astral moss]

And its nice on only 2 weapon.

[royal sparrow]

Yeah, but Inferno has been highly requested since it first was released and technical problems hindered that even when it won a community vote.

Ashbloom despite mixed reception continued to exist until the 1896 update and barely gets any mention since.

[astral moss]

Cause you can avoid it on most weapon its usefull.

Like there is a way to avoid the bullet getting wasted without the trait.

[clever flare]

yeah by reloading right after you shoot right?

before the gun chambers another round

[astral moss]

Yes.

But it didn't work on avto and dolch.

[full raven]

Hold down left click

[astral moss]

It work with avto ?
I try yesterday and it didn't work.

[clever flare]

we should add

more bugs

to the game

who agrees?

[tall canopy]

assassins bugs as a bomb

agree

[astral moss]

We should buff avto.

[clever flare]

i mean

actual bugs

[opal dawn]

Are we talking about the noob trait?

I'm down for talking about the noob trait

[clever flare]

add a butterfly boss

[high nacelle]

A mothman would work

[astral moss]

You mean bullet grubber ?

[tall canopy]

why not a spiderman

[opal dawn]

We already have spider... persons?

[tall canopy]

or a manspider

we also have bats ingame

how about a bat family

[opal dawn]

We could theme monsters around cows, horses, and bats now

[astral moss]

Technicly the "spider" isn't a spider but a monster made of corpse with multiple leg.

(Its in the lore i am not a psychopath.)

[opal dawn]

A monster cow that explode into bats when killed!

[tall canopy]

bat launcher

unlocked after horse launcher

[opal dawn]

Bileweaver consumable, it's tied up with some rope, you remove it and lob it

It could home in on people around corners and whatnot, or act as traps as they bury if nobody there

Under alert trip mines

[astral moss]

Its strange the reload trick work on the normal mosin but not the avto, is the reaload system that different ?

[opal dawn]

Good luck trying to catch that bolt in time

[bleak jay]

It's because the Avto is open bolt, and a mosin is closed bolt

Unless Avto is just closed bolt all the time, I haven't really noticed

[opal dawn]

I think it's a closed bolt

[clever flare]

Bro got the good ref.

[clever flare]

i need to play bloodborne

pc release when

[spiral mantle]

greatsword in hunt when

(I will die of old age before it happens)

I would like an european sword skin for the katana at least

[quartz forum]

and lets get a medieval knight hunter skin too

[raven totem]

looks kinda what we're getting for the new twitch one

[quartz forum]

whot?

[quartz forum]

hmm

[left orbit]

mmh

[astral moss]

Doesn't look "medieval" to me.

[tall canopy]

yup

[raven totem]

that looks great

[astral moss]

You know what look greater ?

This !!!

My dream it does the roar he do in the trailer every time you got a kill.

[left orbit]

then you become N°1 target on the map

[astral moss]

I am ok with that.

• i will play avto with this skin so it will happen anyway lol.

[left orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-blonde-child-gif-5376830

[fleet adder]

Ok sooo they mention in the survey results... Something fiery to deal with possible future bileweaver infestations.

Flamethrower scarce weapon perhaps?

[astral moss]

(I hope but i don't think so.)

[fleet adder]

I'm actually surprised it hasn't been a thing yet in the game slife

Absolutely feels like something a crazy hunter would decide to use for the corruption lol

[astral moss]

maybe cause a dot weapon would be really bad in pvp lol.

Or it have to deal insane damage.

[fleet adder]

Or could be so insanely op in cqb lol

[astral moss]

Would need a one shot.

[fleet adder]

Just get your bars melted constantly

[vague rose]

Morning

[clever flare]

Machete is the best we can do

We have a fucking saber skin for the machete

And we have a saber skin that gives the saber MINIMAL, MICROSCOPIC ETCHING

500 bucks please

500 bucks for a skin you can't differentiate from the base model

[spiral mantle]

I actually laughed at that

[whole mist]

Erm….i can see it tho (if I practically go inside the screen)

[wraith echo]

Could just be the inferno map again.

[fleet adder]

That is confirmed coming but like

We can't harness the flames to take out the bike weavers

[desert acorn]

I got Redneck from Dark Tribute last night.

[desert acorn]

I like this idea.

[spiral mantle]

baller

[desert acorn]

I'm also hoping they can add a knife animation, where you throw no spin instead of half spin. But I think that one's too complicated.

[astral moss]

[desert acorn]

They ever talk of a purely PvE mode? I think that would help new players learn the basics, and might increase new player retention.

[whole mist]

The fifield cube

[whole mist]

There’s Bounty Clash

Oh wait I took the bait

[astral moss]

Ah ah you fall in the bait.

I meant PvE

As you could have worked out from context... 😉

[whole mist]

no

[chrome stratus]

I want free map roam with ai with no rewards

[fathom shale]

I can never fall for bait since I can just remove the bait after the fact

[chrome stratus]

Let me chill and shoot some grunts

[fathom shale]

Then it will instead just look like me losing my mind and talking to myself

[desert acorn]

Yeah... that's what I had in mind.

[astral moss]

Honnestly a free roam map was a good thing we got in the past.

Sadly they remove it.

[next remnant]

Hello

[desert acorn]

Though they could add an objective based campaign mode, too. Honestly, wouldn't take them much effort.

[chrome stratus]

I love the maps and weapons in hunt but sometimes I dont really want to commit to a full match

[astral moss]

Call of hunt.

[fathom shale]

I'd prefer paid roam, fund the development of future maps by making people pay for roaming the maps

[whole mist]

There’s the tutorial that’s pretty much that

[blazing burrow]

The next one will be bots in the shooting range

[clever flare]

god i have nothing to play aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this sucks ass

[empty eagle]

Have you tried darkest dungeon

[desert acorn]

It's a great tutorial, honestly. But they don't update it, and it's a small portion of the map. Even multiple shooting ranges would help. PvP with friends is fun, but there's only ever 3 of you at max.

[clever flare]

yes

hvent finished it

[chrome stratus]

Splatoon:

[clever flare]

i should play it again with some qol mods

[empty eagle]

I just started a new campaign

[clever flare]

BUY ME A SWITCH

BUY ME A SWITCH AND THE GAME THEN

BUY ME IT

DO IT

[chrome stratus]

Im a broke mf

[clever flare]

I AM TOO

[desert acorn]

So far, no new gameplay has been behind a paywall, since I started last august. Just skins.

[astral moss]

Or play bomb lance.

[empty eagle]

N.
,

[desert acorn]

Based

[chrome stratus]

I just dropped 2k on a setup

[clever flare]

maybe i should play darkest dungeon again

maybe

later

[chrome stratus]

You can't say that here

[desert acorn]

What... like, Nitro and Auto shorty, with some Frags?

[scenic plinth]

4 ammo boxes

[chrome stratus]

The new ammo box nerf is crazy

$500 HD per one

[clever flare]

we nerfed ammo boxes?

[chrome stratus]

Yeah they cost 3k HD now

Each

[scenic plinth]

thatll show those STINKIN avto users

[ancient cave]

changing the price of something is the fakest nerf ever

[astral moss]

Like avto user actually care of money.

[chrome stratus]

Oh dont worry the avto only holds a single bullet now

And it still has no reserves

[astral moss]

But they really nerf the auto ?

[chrome stratus]

New Hunt Showdown game idea: all weapons have no reserves now

[chrome stratus]

||no||

[astral moss]

Yeah that would be too good.

[chrome stratus]

They should remove the Hurst from the avto and let people fire it semi auto

[empty eagle]

Oops

[chrome stratus]

Burst I can't English rn

[empty eagle]

I was making tiny snowman

Pocket texting

[astral moss]

Yeah give the avto the fire rate of a borheneim plz.

[torpid egret]

Nah make the avto a one click 15 round burst

[bleak jay]

new hunter dlc

looks dope af

[chrome stratus]

It is now perfectly accurate and has no recoil

[astral moss]

WHERE ????

[bleak jay]

saw it of facebook of all places lmao

[astral moss]

Is it krampus ????

[bleak jay]

dope

[chrome stratus]

Watching the enemy hunter headshot me with dualies from 32m after I missed my entire avto burst

[bleak jay]

looks like a trueshot, sticky bomb, and mako claw skin with it

[astral moss]

Yo wth is that.

[uneven flume]

scotfield

[chrome stratus]

I love that design

[astral moss]

Man where is my krampus skin.

[uneven flume]

its already listed on steam and has a trailer

[uneven flume]

BB for the event I guess

[ancient cave]

got released like a trillion years ago

[bleak jay]

ah, barrel looked really long from what I saw

[ancient cave]

no fuck you discor dI know I clicked the right message

[torpid egret]

i could tell you butd be spoilers for the event cause its not BB

[astral moss]

In the battlepass with Post Malone ?

Wouldn't really make sens but ok.

[uneven flume]

BB

[torpid egret]

not that either

[ancient cave]

theres no way he's apart of the battlepass

[astral moss]

What is "BB" then ?

[torpid egret]

Blood Bonds

[uneven flume]

bloodbonds

[torpid egret]

if what i saw is right its not a battlepass or for purchase

[astral moss]

Yeah anyway, just let me buy it so i can play my avto build man.

[bleak jay]

Could be some sort of event thing

[uneven flume]

or part of the story challenges

[astral moss]

I thing we didn't understand each other.

[bleak jay]

Like we just had with plowers

[ancient cave]

story challenges is what I was gonna mention yeah

[torpid egret]

its part of the event just not the post malone pass

story challenges

theyre doing it like the Light Thhe Shadow event

[astral moss]

You mean we will got it by some quest thing ?

[torpid egret]

theres two of them along with the battlepass

[bleak jay]

So yeah probably like we just had with plowers and bileweavers

[ancient cave]

ew

[bleak jay]

So everyone will have a chance to get it

[ancient cave]

get that thing OUT OF HERE

[drifting rover]

EXCUSE ME?

WHO TF WAS THAT????

[uneven flume]

i guess the other one is the chinese hunter is pretty much confirmed

[astral moss]

Bro i didn't understand a thing of what you all say.

[torpid egret]

its not community challenges its two seperate storylines with challenges lore and rewards

[drifting rover]

I just saw a giant mask and a tongue, bro must be a freak.

[bleak jay]

You know how we just got the berthier marksman skin for free

How we did the x amount of kills with each hunter community event?

[astral moss]

No i didn't, how did you ?

[scenic plinth]

oh fuck yeah finally some south east asian representation

[bleak jay]

Okay moving on

[desert acorn]

I wonder if the new skin is a nod to the predator movie.

[scenic plinth]

NO

[bleak jay]

Yeah I think it'll be some sort of community event

[scenic plinth]

its barong

[astral moss]

Lol i am not ragebaiting i just don't know.

[scenic plinth]

just google barong you see exactly the hoonter in question

[drifting rover]

Oh there it is, I just saw it in the annoucement for a split second

[jaunty patio]

No it's a Balinese deity.
Skull Taker was the predator nod.

[scenic plinth]

Barong

[desert acorn]

B019-5STC-0XKJ-D5FI

[astral moss]

The mask is cool.

[jaunty patio]

No, Rangda

[astral moss]

Oh that's via code.

[torpid egret]

its not a community event where we just get codes after x thhing for the skin for free like with this last event its gonna have a storline quest of specific challenges to be done to get rewarded skins at the end like the Light The Shadow event

[latent hornet]

Damn. New DLC is sick

[desert acorn]

Ah. OG Predator is an awesome design, and would deserve a nod.

[bleak jay]

Reminds me of African tribes from resident evil 5 tbh

First thing my mind went to

[scenic plinth]

okay u right

i read the description

[ancient cave]

such a shame that the DLC trailers kinda devolved I blame post malone

[astral moss]

I hope its not via a code or something cause if i miss the krampus skin i am gonna be really mad about it.

[ancient cave]

they're not giving krampus out by code

[bleak jay]

If it's a community event they could

[ancient cave]

I could maybe see him being twitch but I think that'll be the headhunter guy

[astral moss]

I am confused then.

[ancient cave]

idk why people are speaking witch such certainty on how he's coming out

[bleak jay]

If it's not BP, and not BB, it's either a twitch drop, community event, or something to do with story challenges

[torpid egret]

its going to be a series of challenges done to get the skin at the end like with billy story and Light The Shadow

[desert acorn]

I'm a big fan of the Devil card... but should it be rebalanced for the sake of solos? I mean, quicker burnout is a negative, but the advantage is intense.

[uneven flume]

definetly not twitch drops I think, the hunter with the heads is most likely drops skin

[astral moss]

i wasn't there in the event you are describing, can you explain what i am supposed to do ?

[desert acorn]

Yeah... twitch drops start in a week or two.

[bleak jay]

I see this the most probably, didn't even think of it

[desert acorn]

I like to prestige right before I claim them. I'm not good, so it gives me a head start on unlocks.

[bleak jay]

Crytek has been going hard on giving us lots of free shit lately, so it's nice they're continuing with that trend

[torpid egret]

effectively a series of challenges tied to some lore reason need to be done to get the skin at the end with the challenges either being actually challenging or annoying

i dont remember if theyre all available at the start or unlock at set times

[astral moss]

For the sake of this awesome skin i could even play the worst weapon.

[desert acorn]

Just applied a bucket tactic from Splatoon to katana in Hunt.

Gonna have to practice till I get it down

Most high mmr melees probably know how to increase the aoe of the martialist slice.

[scenic plinth]

they reaaaaly should have added a kris knife with the new hoonter, make it a saber or even a short one for knife skin https://www.horniman.ac.uk/media-collection/393/228/nn11772__001_DS.jpg

[astral moss]

What is bro talking about.

[cursive marlin]

They just be saying shit

[scenic plinth]

if you move your camera while you swing, the hitbox follows and you get a 'bigger' hitbox

[desert acorn]

sorry about the goofy commentary

[wheat verge]

new toon really just DK mode

[torpid egret]

so basically Reinhardt tech in Hunt

[scenic plinth]

or chivalry 2, or mordhau

[desert acorn]

With bucket in splatoon, you can spread it wider with a flick of the controller. Honestly, motion in Splatoon is almost equal to MnK

[astral moss]

Yeah it work the same, i don't even know you named that a tech.

[desert acorn]

In some ways it's actually quicker.

[scenic plinth]

also works like this in darktide

[astral moss]

You can even do a 360 if you are fast enough.

[scenic plinth]

and even souls/elden ring

[desert acorn]

damn. I gotta practice that.

I left Katana for about 9 months. I was too heavily reliant on it, and saw you had to be real good to make it viable at high mmrs.

[astral moss]

Its not that usefull in most situation, just practice how you actually enter the melee range.

[desert acorn]

But the positioning I needed early on was helpful. Now, I'm gonna start using it again. My positioning is bad, and I no longer have a steady hand.

[scenic plinth]

its easier with a slower swing like bomblance

[desert acorn]

Yeah... the recent melee range increase isn't something I've learned yet.

[astral moss]

Or just place yourself so your 2 target are on the way of the martialist.

[umbral onyx]

Holy fuck that new skin

[scenic plinth]

its easier to 'feel' the melee range with pokes while moving camera, or sprinting towards something with a poke the hitbox will linger a bit at the apex of the poke

[desert acorn]

That's definitely the easiest way. I just like to have options. With a gun, you pull the trigger, and the bullet goes forward. Multiple targets aren't a thing without explosives or clouds.

With the katana, the aoe is quite huge.

I play solo... so any way I can increase my odds of killing multiple opponents at once is helpful.

[astral moss]

Yeah but learning something not really helpfull isn't gonna help you improve in the overall melee gamepplay.

[wraith echo]

Looks like something from path of exile 2 tbh.

[astral moss]

The only "problem" with melee weapon is closing the gap, once you are in range to melee, you win.

[desert acorn]

Well, my biggest problem right now is a lack of precision. I'm panicking like I did as a noob, and I'm not certain what that's about, but I'm just trying to train the mechanics.

[astral moss]

"precision" ?
Wdym by that.

[desert acorn]

I jerk a bit before attacks, and often miss at close range. Like I did when I trained at Tekken, I gotta make things muscle memory again.

[astral moss]

How did you miss with melee...

[desert acorn]

Premature evisceration.

[astral moss]

Ooooh, i see you don't know the exact range of the weapon in action.

Yeah that will come with experience.

[void geode]

you conjured a real life issue into the video game

[hollow swan]

#general-announcements another mako skin? Is mako now the new mosin? What about weapons that don't have any skins? Or only skins that are not available anymore, like springfield bayonet?

[wraith echo]

Not available anymore?

[desert acorn]

Yeah... I'm in recovery, and my nerves are shot.

So, I gotta get super tactile with the things I do.

[void geode]

not what i meant but damn

[hollow swan]

Event exclusives i meant

Springfield bayonet only has one skin from an old event

Or berthier bayonet (without the pvp event skin)

[void geode]

i think perhaps these guns are poop 🤔

[hollow swan]

Nah, i got so many kills with those, escpecially springfield dumdum is god tier

[astral moss]

All gun are good, beside chu ko nu.

[tall canopy]

ig they kinda pick guns with a higher pickrate and go for it maybe. just like riot does with league

[astral moss]

Mosin didn't have this much skin did it ?

[hollow swan]

Yeah, and that's a problem. We don't need the 10th+ mosin skin

Or uppercut skins

[astral moss]

i forgor a word.

[whole furnace]

Also 99% sure that they are gauging what will sell in a DLC pack and put "less value" into the mix.
So in this case they bank on Hunter herself to be the selling point and therefore put in some skins for some so and so weapons into it too.

[tall canopy]

well thats moslt ywhy i would buy a dlc. if the hunter is nice idc too much about the weapon skins :D

[astral moss]

Weapon skin in the dlc aren't that insane so i follow this idea.

[random nimbus]

I beg to differ on that

If they released just the previous weapon skins with no hunter, I'd buy them for every gun

[thin fable]

We already have the scottfield skin, it was just in the pool previously

[random nimbus]

Nightjars Swoop is my favorite skin now

[hollow swan]

It's just a reskin for a quick cash grab

[void geode]

i lowkey dont know why they make base scottfield skins

i am never using the basic one

[past compass]

Some people vibe with it mang

there’s a lot of weapons I enjoy using that flat out don’t even have a skin

[raven totem]

I mean in contrast that illuminates the complaint above

[wheat pilot]

The spitfire is the only one worth using

[desert acorn]

3 teams on the map. All spawned at the same place

[past compass]

You use big words my small brain no understand

[raven totem]

you're using weapons that have no skins vs talking about weapons that people don't use, and have many.

[void geode]

its also highkey greedy to not make most variants have the same skin for the free

why cant i have a scottfield skin on scottfield swift

[wheat pilot]

Arent there like 28 000 dlcs with scottfield skins atp? Why make another one.

[past compass]

Correct, imho I think every weapon popular or not should get at least 1-2 skins

[past compass]

Wouldn’t know I never touch the thing

Officer gang

[void geode]

they should remove actually all skins that are on weapons less than 600$

[raven totem]

making it weird with really hot takes, right on.

[past compass]

So what, Mosin
Dolch, nitro avto and auto?

Speaking of which
Less mosin skins
Damn

[royal sparrow]

Agreed. But honestly we spend more time looking at our gear skins in-game than most other assets... so nice gear skins are a plus.

[past compass]

200%
Only hunter skins I have are because I wanted weapon or item skins in a bundled dlc

[void geode]

i only use the tuffest hunter skins

[royal sparrow]

I would like more diversity in the Pointman skins.

[mild flower]

Swift

[spiral mantle]

oh hey mako claw skin

[void geode]

when are they adding the glock 17 with switch variant

and stick mag

[tall canopy]

dec 12

[wheat pilot]

Lowkey the watchmans arm spear skin is my best investment in this game

[wheat pilot]

Nah

[void geode]

swift is kinda fun with fanning ngl

infinite ammo glitch

but fanning lowkey booty

[royal sparrow]

Some of the Martini-Henry skins are my favorite.

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/view/fym-nuh-uh-meme-edgeworth-phoenix-wright-gif-1581100811954926610

[void geode]

i havent used fanning in a min

[mild flower]

Swift is great for dualies as well

[void geode]

i didnt even think of that

[royal sparrow]

I wish the Berthier was more enjoyable to play because it has some good skins.

[void geode]

berthier a sleeper pick brah

[mild flower]

Berthier is overtuned for sure

[void geode]

long ammo rifle it cant be bad

[mild flower]

They buffed it to have a ridiculous amount of reserve ammo.

[past compass]

Outside of single shot it’s probably the worst multi shot long ammo guns
Which places it in at lowest a+ tier because it’s long ammo

[scenic plinth]

still less used than other long ammo rifles i think

more people use sparks than berthier i think

[mild flower]

Nah Mako is easily worse

[royal sparrow]

I would rather play an Oberez Sharp eye than a Berthier. I know unpopular opinion...

[scenic plinth]

even martini

[void geode]

ive always been a krag guy

krag is consistent af

[mild flower]

Yeah cause all the single shot players switched to Maynard silencer. Not me tho

[wheat pilot]

What's so bad about the berthier

[wheat pilot]

I like it

[void geode]

berthier is real quick its nice

[mild flower]

Wait nevermind I saw what you said backwards.

[royal sparrow]

Krag is ridiculously good... but the silencer made me abandon it.

[past compass]

They’re both at the bottom
whichever is lower is personal opinion

[past compass]

Silencers are deaddd

[void geode]

krag is where its at i got the velocity on it pretty damn down

i can lead like a mf

[mild flower]

Berthier at least frees up a consumable slot tbf

Split ammo is js a bonus

[royal sparrow]

Mako is so so slow to chamber... It is maddening. Otherwise great...

[void geode]

mako is just cool

worth using cuz its cool

[mild flower]

Only silencer is the Maynard

[void geode]

using the maynard silenced makes me feel like an evil human

[scenic plinth]

they didnt need to nerf the vetterli

[void geode]

just free cheesy kills

[royal sparrow]

When did they do that?

[scenic plinth]

the silencer nerfs

[mild flower]

Rightfully so

[royal sparrow]

Ahhhh

[whole furnace]

Last time Vetterli was touched it was buffed?

[scenic plinth]

yes correct but the silencer nerf still hurts it does like 123 instead of 132, cant down -25 hoonter

[hazy spade]

is the server down?

[void geode]

i got an 11 kill game the other day i was on top of the world

[wheat pilot]

I don't get how people play sniper scopes and actually play the objective. I absolutely cannot stand sniper scopes inside a compound, even a marksman has too much zoom.

[void geode]

if im bringing a sniper scope im not playing obj im just being a cornball

[royal sparrow]

Yeah, I don't really feel like that damage drop was significant enough to impact performance for most silenced guns... except for the Sparks.

[wheat pilot]

Well fair u can always do that ig

[whole furnace]

Eh, that is fine, there needs to be meaningful trade-offs to silencers especially when they can get HV.

[void geode]

getting shot at by silencers is like bottom 5 experiences in the game

[whole furnace]

But dunno, it was almost like initially silencers was balanced around worse iron sights but people hated that :V

[void geode]

silencers lowkey be having better sights
