Torso != Upper Torso
Hundred hands isnt necessary, it gives you an extra 6m of 1hk range

[raven totem]

I don't run it personally if I ever run bow, hitting upper torso is important however

[wide whale]

Important to note that unlike long ammo - it doesnt pen arms etc

so an arm shot IS an arm shot

[raven totem]

kinda wanna go for shoulder level

[wide whale]

Pretty much

considering arms are out front using a weapon, theres not a big hit box

[signal cliff]

miss the shoulder, hit the head

[mental pine]

why woulnt u use hundred hands whit bow when it increases damage

[wide whale]

The amount of times I could sweat ive hit the upper torso to watch a replay and ive hit the barrel of the weapon or a hand or something as they move

[raven totem]

makes the draw longer, I prioritize other more important perks

[river slate]

Draw's longer but damage ramps up at same pace

[mental pine]

thats probably it for me too cuz i always think i hit their chest but it never one shots them sometimes ofc i do

[river slate]

Think of it as going to 110%

[raven totem]

I'll get way more value out of staple perks than hundred hands

[wicked fox]

No, she’s a Lunar New Year hunter. https://youtu.be/RFCe_7g_vMk?si=rCJy20i9qFfIDmTz

[atomic coral]

Always keep at least basic stats on in graphics to I can see ping

[wide whale]

It's a nice skin, but unfortunately unavailable to me 🙁

[raven totem]

time limited, will be available soon

[latent geyser]

lol...The last two enemy hunters were blown up by their own dynamite. Team Details reveals a two-star and an unknown six-star.

[past compass]

Oh no

[atomic coral]

Just had that happen!

[mental pine]

is there skins for the bow

[mortal basin]

So many

There is 8.

[raven totem]

I love my golden egyptian fomo one

[past compass]

God sniping is so fun

[past compass]

Which one?

[past compass]

I’m not a fan of the super ornate

[astral moss]

Its the coolest skin.

[past compass]

I like the eye taker I think it’s called

[whole mist]

I wish I played through the Egyptian fomo pass

Wanted the hive jar skin, but didn’t use them much back then

[past compass]

Tbh I barely use em still lmao

[astral moss]

Ah ah i got this skin and he is very cool.

[left flax]

anyone else still sitting at 0 on the derringer badge despite killing a bunch of players and mobs with the penny derringer??

[mighty lynx]

hey look i found one just laying around! crazy what some people leave behind

[past compass]

Another Maynard suppressed enjoyer

also give the damn gun a skin finally

[desert acorn]

Trait idea. Skin swap. Change your appearance temporarily.

[astral moss]

[upbeat lark]

Imma try playing in 10k dpi

Was only using 2.1k before I wanna see the difference in how smooth the cursor will glide

[past compass]

Ok no Maynard is still in the free hunter pool

[upbeat lark]

It is

Quite hard to find tho I got one just 2 days ago

[past compass]

I hadn’t found one for a while

[upbeat lark]

The ones I found most is the Romero, bow, frontier and the 2slot combination guns

I can not find the medium ammo carbine

Even tho that is my most favorite to use

[mental pine]

can you revive yourself if rotjhaw kills you

[empty eagle]

If you are solo

And have necro

Yes

[upbeat lark]

With necro

You should stand up with full health so just strafe again to donge her dashes

[mental pine]

yeah my teametes died from the start so i forgot them and though i was solo bruh

[upbeat lark]

Oof

If you go in with 2 people and the other one leaves the game did not count you as a solo

[mental pine]

yeah

[royal cloak]

Dedicated wam

[upbeat lark]

Tbh it should count as a solo if that happens but ehh Im not a solo player I don't have enough hours to gave me the right to say this

[fleet adder]

Bro tornado watch in December is freaking ridiculous

So mad rn

It has been raining like hell

[fleet adder]

It's about to hit us but it's just a narrow band

Only gonna last like 1.5 hours

[whole mist]

68F rn. Going to drop to mid 30s tomorrow

[royal cloak]

68 is quite warm

[wide whale]

An interesting game - Team 1 - If your buddy gets downed in the middle of the open, don't run to them like bots and try and revive, even if they were your carry.
Push the attacker back. It was like fish in a barrel.

But, icing on the cake. Got to extract ~20mins in with both bounties, scan and see someone sitting in the bush beside extract.
Instead of engaging, I turn around and head to the other extract (2 mins walk). When my counter started ticking down I eventually saw them realise and move lmfao

[normal kayak]

dont you know the bush makes the dark sight boost inactive 🙄

he has the meta strats

[gusty drift]

I love guys who hide in the bushes outside of extracts for 20 minutes waiting for me to arrive 👍🏻

[wide whale]

Jokes on them, you never arrive!

🙂

[gusty drift]

I wish I didn't with these extract locations...

[wide whale]

Oh, thats where I just was - blanc was the bounty and hemlock + wolfshead were the extracts

[gusty drift]

EU servers?

[wide whale]

ye

[gusty drift]

Lol you weren't the solo camping the extract were you?

Polish fella?

[wide whale]

no lmao I had both bounties

[gusty drift]

I had one of the bounties but lost it to a solo hiding in a bush

[wide whale]

Couldnt be me 😛

[gusty drift]

Ooft very nice mate

[fluid temple]

whats this

[wide whale]

I'm gonna ask a really stupid question.
Whats the left most figure? I know xp and coin 🤔

bounty - duh damn it

[gusty drift]

Using vulture?

[wide whale]

Its the last mission summary screen

I usually do - but this hunter hit 37 in Clash. So Vulture wasnt on the cards

[dull light]

what's going on with Rotjaw? he seems to get stuck underwater sometimes

[wide whale]

Yeh - if you wait long enough she resurfaces but it can take minutes 🙁

[dull light]

yup took like 5 mins to kill it

[west heart]

how is this even possible(4-5 stars) https://medal.tv/games/hunt-showdown/clips/lNJF3ljIcolOeLigH?invite=cr-MSx2WVYsMjU0NjcyMDE4&v=34

[astral moss]

4 star is really a beautiful world.

[west heart]

two of em were 5 stars but yeah doesnt change much

[wide whale]

thats a lot of nonsense lmao

Star rating doesn't really mean jack tbh.
you accrue * rating MUCH faster than you lose it.
And theres no resets or natural decay for inactivity.

I've got a 6* buddy that hasn't played in 5? years

And now he gets us these really high matches lmao

[astral moss]

You want me to Ping Venom that say the mmr decay earlier ?

[wide whale]

Its been over a month of playing with a newbie and he's still 6* 🤔

[regal cradle]

anyone trynna play, new to the pc hunt, played on xbox since it was relaesed on console

[wide whale]

There should be a yearly/seasonal MMR reset. Like SC2

[quaint parcel]

Is anyone else struggling to find Circus Grunts? I have only been able to find like 1-2 Grunts per game, and its making that last Krampus Quest for me really daunting

[royal cloak]

Not sure it could be damage done to players

[wide whale]

Its bounty 🙂

[crystal bay]

It's bounty earned in match

[royal cloak]

Ohh

[wide whale]

And yeh - the circus grunts seem rare. Its worse that everyones hunting them.
But still, im getting like 2-5/game right now. I find most in the open rather than in compounds

[crystal bay]

Could just be because I'm not looking for them, but I find a decent amount

hunt likes to make em hard to find when you want to find em

[wide whale]

I felt that way when I wasnt on that stage

[quaint parcel]

Ok maybe i just need to run around the map more i guess. But they are rarely at the circus itself, which is kind of paradoxical

[wide whale]

Ok - I just made THE most stupid move without even thinking.
Killed someone and proceeded to immediately progress towards them and loot them. Get headshot.
Wtf was I doing 😭

[astral moss]

Dont try to force it.

[astral moss]

Bro is greedy greedy.

[woven cape]

game !

[wide whale]

Worst part is, he was being necro'd so that would have been a free kill! 🙁

ive been drinking on kill :)\

[crystal bay]

howdy hey marsh!

[wide whale]

To put that into context - I got my slate mission done in a single clash 🤣

[astral moss]

Bro is flexing.

[gusty drift]

Bounty Clash is so good for completing challenges

[fluid temple]

anyone know how to stop the lag spikes?

[uneven gull]

this' probably the worst thing ever

[gusty drift]

Those last three levels are risky business

[night ferry]

oh my god it is true

if you die wet and necro yourself you get audio bug where you are perma wet

[wide whale]

No.

[jaunty patio]

P A I N

[uneven gull]

yeah and i died as soon as i got into a location

i love this game

[hot karma]

Itll get fixed in 3 years

[gusty drift]

Can we stop with these extracts..... 🥲

[hasty wharf]

As much as i like the idea of chariot card, cutting us back down to two extracts by default was a mistake

[acoustic imp]

tf wrong with assassin now 😭

[wide whale]

Its not just an audio bug for you - you are perma squelchy 🙂

[round geyser]

better luck next time

[night ferry]

i mean

i get it faster charcoal removal but still

[gusty drift]

Bad luck mate

[past compass]

Jesus Christ I cannot catch a breakkk

might as well stop bringing damn necro since everyone and their mother has 7 million concertina, poison and bear traps all the time

[night ferry]

that's what i do

[deep turtle]

Hi everyone I'm wondering if I can run 100 fps low on rx580 8gb R5 4600g

[past compass]

Hard to do when you’re pincered because everyone decides to fuck the solo

I’m getting high kill games I just can’t get bounty
And with freshly prestigeing I’m actually worried about money!

[deep turtle]

Need reply plss

[peak cave]

Look at all those resupplies

[round geyser]

and walking loot bags aka players

[proud crypt]

Found a useless sealed weapon in Soul Survivor mode 🤔

[hazy garnet]

bruh

i killed like 999 people in this week with any explosive

[wide whale]

Its bugged and tracking ~10% of the actual damage done, same for beetles

[proud crypt]

Yeah seems to be a few trackers bugged

I don't have a great K/D/a at 1.32, but the one for my player card doesn't change from 0.1 😐

[raven totem]

because its just kd

[deep turtle]

Did it fix for him?

[proud crypt]

Yeah I know, but still bugged, it doesn't move from 0.1 when for just KD I'm still over 1.0

[empty eagle]

It's bugged

[proud crypt]

ooop actually I dipped back just under 1.0 after a bad streak 😂

[wide whale]

There should be a metric - how many 2/3 man teams did you wipe as a solo

[empty eagle]

Over 1 shows as .1

Lol

[wide whale]

https://tenor.com/view/squirrel-brain-squirrel-math-hard-school-gif-24731714

that is actually worth bragging about

[proud crypt]

Haha in that case I might have to put it on

Though I had a bad run and dropped blow 1, still shows as 0.1

but close enough to 1.
4937 kills, 4947 deaths

Doing better in SS.
Still managing to get a few assists threre too without team mates to steal finish off my kills 😂

[deep turtle]

Do u still get the same performance as of today or better or worse?

[hasty wharf]

won't be anywhere near consistent at 100fps

[deep turtle]

What's specs u have?

[hasty wharf]

i had a 580 4gb just before the 2.0 engine upgrade but have upgraded since then

[cold axle]

I asked him.

[deep turtle]

That would be appreciated💯 if I can get an answer

[real drift]

can you please channel your energy to make me reconnect to the servers?

it's the only way

9/10 times it doesn't work

https://tenor.com/view/shovel-throw-gif-18090716

at 1080p all low, you'll probably be in the 60-70fps range. rx580 and r5 4600g are pretty old at this point for the game. Some have trouble launching the game with similar hardware. If you're unsure if you can run it, try out the game on gamepass first

[stone basin]

I haven’t played on pc in a second and I got a whole new rig so now I play at 90-120 on high

[deep turtle]

When was the last time u played on the rx580

[whole mist]

they had to be using dlss/fsr at ultra performance mode or something

[deep turtle]

Is this what they call overclocking?

[whole mist]

you can just go on youtube and look up videos of the specs on Hunt Showdown 1896. You'll see their settings and fps

Lavish Farewell

[stone basin]

Wasnt me I have always played on 2060 or 3050

[stuck tusk]

Is something going on with US West Servers right now? I started at MMR 5 as a solo and for yesterday and today all I've encountered is nearly empty games with 2 stars that kill me before I even see them. On the rare chance I got a shot first it's hit-reg disappearing completely. I shot 3 sparks shots through a crouched man yesterday who just looked at me. Last night I got hitmarkers at 2 meters with the Nitro and was killed with one penny shot hit. In before mad because bad - this has been abnormal even for me. Tested a few other servers and all seemed normal...

Is it just this dead? Seems like Saturday evening on West Coast would be fairly busy

[wicked fox]

Well, on US West just over an hour ago I shot someone 3 times with a Hand Crossbow and the bolt didn't even register and I've never seen that happen in 2,898 hours of playing on PC.

[stuck tusk]

This checks exactly with what I've been experiencing - and no normal indicators of lag or packet loss have shown

All hits either don't register at all, or hit for basically no damage. I just center-mass hit a guy from 1 meter with bomb lance steel bolt and it did like 4 damage

[wicked fox]

People would probably complain but maybe they could restart the servers every Tuesday, like Steam does their maintenance.

[fleet adder]

Maybe on old hunt. Idk bout 1896

Granted I'm in 1440p but I have a 5800X3D and a 3070 and play on all low just to get locked 120

[stuck tusk]

@wicked fox I'd be down. I've run enough game servers to know they need it, unless Crytek is just periodically rotating through restarting some but not all VMs throughout the day. Other games suffer from similar problems sooner or later so there's no reason for me to believe that Hunt doesn't, it just feels very rare when it happens and it's hard to tell apart from just performing poorly

[civic ruin]

I removed dlss from settings and I went from 4 stars to 6 stars in 2 days.

Don't use dlss

[stuck tusk]

True, that. Smeary mess of pixels and latency

[proud crypt]

Finally got my sledge throw done and it did it twice in the same round 😂

[whole mist]

@fathom shale who knew Soul Survivor was the way after all these years ^

||yes yes ik the throwables update wasnt until recently ||

[wicked fox]

I've recently discovered the power of the Maynard Sniper. And with High Velocity ammo it's a great head clicker.

[hot mortar]

do not fall to the dark side

[marsh parrot]

Nothing screams bad player more than a blind necro right when you die

[fleet adder]

But muh frames

[sick bramble]

how did that help?

[fleet adder]

Visibility

Crisper image and all that

[raven totem]

Dlss ads delay as well does it not

[desert acorn]

My friend only had time for one match tonight. Turned out being a server wipe for us. I would say that's time well spent.

I keep missing with the sparks, and hitting with the bow. Not sure why that is.

But then, I never land a concertina arrow. I have to practice with the increased Drop.

Someone was mocking the Hive bombs earlier. They generally not considered relevant?

[deep turtle]

@fleet adder this is r 7 2700 rx570 4gb low 1080 p sure hunt is optimize now?

[fleet adder]

Yea although relatively minor

[fleet adder]

Pretty impressive if it can actually do that but I have my doubts

[deep turtle]

For real I'm doubting too

[fleet adder]

Because when I used to have a 2600x and an rx580 and I struggled to get good fps in this game. And 1896 is definitely harder to run than old hunt was

[deep turtle]

Is 60 fps locked in lobby?

[deep turtle]

I asked a guy who's selling PC's and this is what he send

I can't really proved it

Only the devs can prove it

[crystal holly]

on my way ahaha yeah ok well ill be in the bayou just taking all your bounties

[coarse moss]

Xqc 😭😭😭

[crystal holly]

how do i get the post malone cosmetic?

[crystal bay]

Finish battlepass I believe

lil bit of a festival in weeping

[desert acorn]

Kind of hilarious. Haven't gotten trait points in days. Today, I have all my hunter slots full, and they're all leveled up... and of course I got trait points.

Darker hunters better cammo generally? Or the beige types, like Reptile?

[glossy meteor]

Anyone has that infographic for fanning that shows RoF when fanning and whatnot?

Same moss as Buchanon I think.

[glossy meteor]

That too but she has no sleeves

[desert acorn]

I had a real nice head shot, at least that's how it looked on my monitor. Ended up hitting him in the torso.

I think I gotta fix my nvme. It gets choppy lately... think it might be a bit burnt.

[shell turret]

can spirit of yule pls be ported to liquid fire bomb

actually can both of the firebomb skins be ported to the liquid and hellfire

Base firebomb kinda usless

[desert acorn]

It's an alternative to conc.

Hellfire sets fire to everything in a radius. Base firebomb stays there awhile.

I gotta stop using a fully kitted hunter in clash. Wasting all my money.

[grim crest]

Ok?

[desert acorn]

Wow... they won't let failures play, for some reason.

That's harsh.

For the record, I'm joking. I'm sure you're quite accomplished.

oooh,,,, es regnet. Haven't had a rain match in awhile.

[grim crest]

Maybe

My proud

[desert acorn]

A line from the movie "El Diablo" comes to mind often when I play Hunt, and I let the wave of shame pass. "Damn, boy... you shot him in the back!" "Well, his back was to me."

Probably one of the best lines in made for tv movie history.

Unfortunately, none of those shots I fanned at his back with my pax counted as headshots.

[whole furnace]

Hmmm

[desert acorn]

I've played one match with Nitro, looted off a free Hunter skin. I have 3 kills with that weapon. That's one that I like to display.

[desert acorn]

just died because I got aggroed by grunts.

They didn't mind the sound trap the guys hit at the bounty, but when I ran past they charged me

No problem.. cept it was three of em, and one hit me with a cleaver. Talk about dumb luck.

[whole mist]

Oof

[torn karma]

This but for the other Scotty variants

[mortal basin]

You don't want to play base Scottfield?

[soft gate]

hi what should I do if the sound is missing in the game? I've already reinstalled the game, checked the files, and nothing has helped.

[wooden oriole]

how tf i fix this

Where did you get this one from?

[left orbit]

i have read around here that you need de uninstall EAC manually and reinstall (steam file verif)

[untold stag]

Is it true you gotta pay money to show your stats on profile

[whole mist]

no. That was patched out last week or so

[peak cave]

Ty!

[mortal basin]

Welcome!

[crystal bay]

You may have already found out by now but here you go

[whole furnace]

Damn went to check something myself, I have landed straight on it lol

[blissful quiver]

i watched twitch for drop called death caroler, showed i earned it its even in twitch inventory if u need pic, but doesnt show on gun then i go to store and see u selling same free twitch skin for blood bonds, why am i not getting the skin i earned?

[crystal bay]

XD

[crystal bay]

For a different variant

Make sure you don't have filters on that are hiding the skin

[blissful quiver]

i dont have filters on it which variant is the twitch one?

[crystal bay]

The BB variant is just the base krag skin I believe, which they then added a similar skin to bayonet/sniper which are the twitch drop options

you either got a bayo skin or a sniper skin

[blissful quiver]

ok thanks let me check i appreciate the help

ok thanks my apologies i found it it wasnt base model like u said it was banoyet

[crystal bay]

Glad you were able to find it!

[left orbit]

let’s start collecting

i am the redneck daughter è_é

[trail spade]

How do y know ?

[desert acorn]

Steam is tracking our head shots. Hunt should also have an accurate counter. I mean it counted them up to 100, for deadeye achievement.

Does a maxed out hunter collect event points faster?

[trail spade]

Afaik no

Just the XP goes straight into bloodline

[desert acorn]

With good timing, positioning, and a clutch res with necro, my buddy and I wiped the server

4 katana kills from waiting for them to be distracted. And my buddy got up and downed a guy I didn't even know was in there before he got dropped again,

They were lickin' their wounds when I chopped 'em up

It was clever... he had his buddy camping, making no noise, but they had the bounty. In all the ruckus, I didn't hear the res. Thought the last guy was solo.

Thank God my friend had a shotgun, and the camper was literally right in front of him, facing the wrong way.

[trail spade]

Nice

I really like running 2 pistols

Actually disgusting

If they dont 1 shot you, they are always dead especially with trueshot

[desert acorn]

2 pistols is great. So much ammo, occasional random head shot, and you can mow down 3 people without the need for reload, if you get the drop on them. And then all the special ammos.

[trail spade]

Esp when they run singleshot and miss

[desert acorn]

My trouble is, in the past 6 months I've gotten one dualie kill. The RNG leaves a bullet outline of my foes on the wall behind them.

[trail spade]

They wiggle around trying to dodge

But I got 12 rounds

[trail spade]

Which pistol did u use ???

[desert acorn]

Literally any pistol combination, I rarely hit.

I think I saved some video somewhere... 8 shots in the crosshairs, all misses.

Meanwhile, my friend wipes a trio, only missing 2 shots.

[trail spade]

Depends on the range. I wiped a trio yesterday

My team was coming

And the dudes just pushed right into my pax

But it was point blank range behind a small hill

And luck because they fumbled hard

[desert acorn]

I use katana often. If you ninja jump a guy, you dan't really miss in range.

You have to pick your attacks well, and be super sneaky though. Because melee is very niche.

It loses to almost literally every other weapon out of context.

[trail spade]

It looses only to shotguns imo if you are within range

[desert acorn]

What are the most accurate dualies?

[trail spade]

Trueshot

[desert acorn]

And it wins to shotgun if they're reloading, or not facing you

[trail spade]

Yeah

Honestly katana ruined the melee meta

Nothing else is used

[desert acorn]

Hammer has been the most popular lately. And bomblance was always in use.

The other melees are either for boss-killing, or budget builds.

[trail spade]

Hammer is popular due to the event

And bomblance isnt just a melee

[desert acorn]

Actually, saber is katana without martialist, just a bit better.

[trail spade]

You have seen cavalry saber ? Machete ?

I saw 1 count it 1 baseball bat

In 3 months of playing

[desert acorn]

I've seen a few. The meta at the top and the rest of us peasants don't always coincide.

[trail spade]

Martialist needs to do stuff for all melee weapons imo

[desert acorn]

That kills the point of the katana. useless without the trait.

[trail spade]

Wrong af lol

[desert acorn]

It's literally a worse saber

[trail spade]

It gives other weapons a chance

[trail spade]

Have you seen the dmg of saber ?

Katana has more than 100 over it in hvy dmg LOL

280 vs 168

[desert acorn]

Okay... from the top. Katana takes significantly more stamina to swing than saber. Does 15 more damage with a light swing. Still 150 from saber.

[trail spade]

Saber is worse for pve. Worse for pvp

[desert acorn]

Katana does 15 more with heavy

Saber is 30% more stamina efficient. Makes it better for pve

nevermind... 75% more efficient

[whole furnace]

Katana w.o. trait vs. Saber is sidegrades to each other :)

[trail spade]

Katana is just better

[desert acorn]

Those numbers are incorrect. I'm presently in game

[trail spade]

Then idk this is the wiki

My bad then

[whole furnace]

@trail spade always use Hunt wikiGG

[desert acorn]

They re-balanced all melee recently. Every weapon has a niche. Katana is essentially the worst melee weapon without martialist, because saber is cheaper and better at everything.

[trail spade]

Ah ok then its not that big of a deal

[desert acorn]

Machete is insane dps, and hammer and axe crush everything

[desert acorn]

They were watching melee. they also increase ALL melee range across the board.

[whole furnace]

As I said, Katana w.o. trait vs. Saber are sidegrades to each other.
Katana more damage and reach for more stamina cost.
Saber less stamina cost, but also less damage and reach :)

[desert acorn]

saber WAY less stamina cost.

Weapons are good because of two damage types

[trail spade]

Nobody runs saber anyway its always katana tbh

Machete I have never seen

Ever

[desert acorn]

I know a few who run saber

[trail spade]

Ofc a few run it

[desert acorn]

I don't think people realize that machete does so much damage now

[trail spade]

My point is compared to katana nobody runs it

And I blame the perk

It looks cool

[whole furnace]

Mjah, 3 vs 4 heavy swings at full stamina.

[trail spade]

Since the dmg is so similar now and its just a stamina difference

[whole furnace]

Or stabs

[desert acorn]

light swing

[trail spade]

The perk wins out cuz it looks sick lol

[desert acorn]

SO fast

Martialist perk is probably the most baddass move in the game

[trail spade]

Yeah

[whole furnace]

I can at least say that today I killed a duo that melee charged me with a katana and saber, so both sucks

[trail spade]

Haha :)))

[desert acorn]

no use for heavy on machete... but light mows down an army

[trail spade]

Problem isnt that its bad

Its that katana is too cool

[desert acorn]

saber is better. A bit slower, but two damage types. Stabbing for armored and scrapbeak

[whole furnace]

Stabbing is generally better for pvp so that where the machete loses

[desert acorn]

When I wipe a trio with just katana, I have to bask in how cool I feel. Before I get sniped by the guy watching me.

[desert acorn]

But if you get mobbed by 1200 grunts, no problem.

[trail spade]

You have that wipe blood animation

You can RESHEATHE THE SWORD

[desert acorn]

And if you want to beat down the other bosses quick

[trail spade]

Its peak

[desert acorn]

I almost lost a friendship because of that animation

[whole furnace]

Eh dusters works as fine

[trail spade]

What ? Lol

[desert acorn]

I bought a friend blood bonds because I wanted him to have the battle pass. He spent them on the animation first.

[trail spade]

XD

[desert acorn]

So he couldn't "join me" in the battlepass for a week or so while we grinded the 200 bbs he wasted.

[whole furnace]

The kind of greed they warn you about in the Bible

[desert acorn]

Then, as soon as he got the battlepass, he unlocked 300bbs he would have already had.

[desert acorn]

"You cannot serve both God and Hunt Swag"

He totally forgot how to play Hunt.

Battlefield wrecked him.

[trail spade]

Haah

[desert acorn]

He never stops running. Then as soon as we make contact, he rushes in and dies.

Like... he had a rifle, and he rushed a bow blindly today'

[trail spade]

Based ngl

Pushed bow

Worst mistake known to man

After inventing apple pie ofc

[desert acorn]

Meanwhile, I had a leveled up hunter, and an expensive loadout.

I was in agony... he used to be good at hunt

[trail spade]

https://tenor.com/view/huntshowdown-gif-26584341

[desert acorn]

He also rages if I take too long to get him back up.

[trail spade]

Bro wants to respawn like in bf6

[desert acorn]

So I kinda yelled at him... then we did the lobby wipe

[desert acorn]

Exactly. You can't win in BF6 unless you die repeatedly for objectives.

The game has similar skills, regarding shooting, but the audio is crap, and you lose the pressure and consequences.

[trail spade]

Idk I play tanks in any bf game

[desert acorn]

I wanted to hone my aim... I don't play shooters. Or didn't, until Hunt.

I stopped with Battlefront 2.

[whole furnace]

I couldn't counter snipe with a non-sniper, so I just dropped bf6

[trail spade]

I played a ton of MW2 back in the day and then tarkov

[raven totem]

Knuckles are like,best in game for gruntpocolypse

[trail spade]

But tarkov is a lot of turn on flashlight > spray at their head/legs

I died to 5 dogs and 1 immolator yesterday then we wiped the lobby

Hunt givent hunt taketh away

[desert acorn]

I hate when I'm on a victory lap... just took down 4 hunters and have the bounty, and I'm not paying attention and out of stamina, and 10 grunts and 6 hell hounds attack all at once.

Hasn't happened in a long time, but has happened more than once.

A friend and I lost everything once. All that, and 3 immolators all at once. It was insane.

at 210 meters, ranger with HV has nearly zero drop

I'm using Crackshot right now... I've got a serviceable sniper rifle.

[whole furnace]

Still waiting for my single shot compact rifle with a 200m base drop range 😌

[fleet adder]

crazy first match of the night

im upset i didn't get an experience boon now

stupid fortune teller 🙁

[torn karma]

No ❤️

Scotty tree is held back by the existence of the spitfire

[whole furnace]

Spitfire can barely keeps itself relevant, let alone base scottfield

[torn karma]

Precisely, and as a result the entire scotty line suffers

[whole furnace]

Sadly too many guns would need to be outright removed to ever make base scottfield somewhat relevant.
But semi-autos and double actions pistols kinda just eat everything else and that is not even mentioning 2-slots.

[rancid shard]

Hello hunt showdown players FUCK YOOOOOOOU

[opal dawn]

Seems like they redid the fortune teller, if you have four shot boon it can still just give you antidote regen

[whole furnace]

Ya' got some bad games of Hunt?

[opal dawn]

Conc bow victim

[torn karma]

Conc instantly setting momentum to 0 is one of the weirdest mechanics

[left orbit]

know what? hunt good. game good. like game. i’m not mad at anything anymore. love hunt. hunt forever.

long life to hunt.

[torn karma]

Hunt dead game

[left orbit]

NAH

[torn karma]

0 player last 3 weeks

[left orbit]

NOT TRU, I WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME

[torn karma]

Ive just been playing against my past and future selves and clones of me

They are all bots of me

[left orbit]

lul

[whole furnace]

Conc traps* but yes

[deep turtle]

https://youtu.be/0FFFInnhKcY?si=FOLkLMK4LRSobL6T
I can't believe it seems like rx580 and R5 6400g can run 100fps or morr

[whole furnace]

Genuinely think conc traps are awful for the game.
Any other trap, if spotted, the oppenent can go "I'll pop it and now have an opening", but with conc traps even when spotted and/or sprung does its job of denying entry.

[shell turret]

as someone who has ran ran into barbed wire it does that irl

[torn karma]

Sir this is a wendy's

[torn karma]

Thought any conc barbs did

I know Scrappy's does but not sure about conc bow, thought its barbs also did the instant slow

[left orbit]

yeah. it’s like it’s the very purpose of that thing 😂

[whole furnace]

Ah, I was just more thinking in a game flow sense lol

[left orbit]

i almost got one shredding my face IRL

when i was a kid

but luckily it only caught the cloths

and i was STOPPED right there

[whole furnace]

That concertina (traps) just slows games to a grinding halt.

[torn karma]

Oh I meant in a literal sense, it sets your velocity instantly to 0

Touching any of the barbs

Its very peculiar

[torn karma]

Yeah that too

Most of the time Ill just sit and wait for them to come out when the timer hits 15m and then pop em on the way out

[whole furnace]

It is the best way, keep telling that to my friends. "But they don't wanna wait", hence the tactics gets rewarded and we see more people play conca-fort.

[torn karma]

Used to be you needed insane amounts of bomba or a weapon specifically for conc clear, less of a problem now but its instantly such a boring playstyle that effectively has no downside

[whole furnace]

Ah, I think conca-forts are insanely bad plan.
You spend so much resource and now you have no consumables for the actual fight.
Literally the issue is that the way to punish is to wait people out and fight them outside.

Which most people don't

[torn karma]

Yeah why bother when you can just requeue into a more fun match?

[shell turret]

most people so brain rotted to use conc fort will rather loose the bounty to the timer then come out

[marsh parrot]

What is theoretically the most kills you coudl possibly get in one hunt showdown game

Wouldn’t it be above a hundred? Or am I crazy

Huge emphasis on the theoretically

[torn karma]

5*11 assuming no extra Catalyst cards are played

You + 11 solos + necro + 4 catalyst cards each

[marsh parrot]

Ok but let’s say you take restoration shots couldn’t you have more downs?

Also wouldn’t tarot cards come into play?

[opal dawn]

5*11 + double boss banish. 11 uses of resto kit at 1 bar, and 4 recov shots

[marsh parrot]

Ok can there be all solos or is that not possible?

[torn karma]

Catalyst gives you solo necro. Theres no reason to take a shot if solo necro does the trick.

[opal dawn]

Then if you factor in relentless you can kill someone 6 times in total

[torn karma]

You just said theoretically

[marsh parrot]

So 6x 11 66

66 kills 😭

Can you imagine

[opal dawn]

No, far more

[marsh parrot]

I know I’m asking if it’s possible

To have all solos

Also you could find tarot cards in the wild

[torn karma]

Theoretically yes

[marsh parrot]

That grant necros

Along with wild traits

[torn karma]

Theoretically

[marsh parrot]

So like 110+ theoretically

Lmfao can you imagine

[fleet adder]

I find it hard to believe

[opal dawn]

6x11 + 5x6 (Double boss banish) 5*11 (4 recov shots) 5x11 (relentless)

[fleet adder]

also Drilling + Railroad hammer

best loadout in the game 😤

[marsh parrot]

Why does my autism think of this 😭

And does anyone know the kill record?

[torn karma]

LeMat FMJ + hammer / Vetty bayo + hammer >>

[fleet adder]

Rachtaz has had some big kill games

[marsh parrot]

Thank you

[fleet adder]

vetty doesn't have the steez of drilling or lemat

so it's between lemat and drilling

[marsh parrot]

He’s sweet has a nice smile

[torn karma]

Doesnt have an awkwardly long reload, its cheap, pretty consistent 2 tap with the cycle changes, and plenty of spare ammo. With the bayonet you have 2 damage types covered easily.

Drilling hatchet is nice but the increased sway and the chopped barrel make the shotgun kinda meh

[opal dawn]

Life might get harder for solos when they increase the player count

[torn karma]

Nah just more people to farm

6" solos get matched into 3-4* mmr with the solo MMR changes

Just rat and youll walk out with oodles of money

[trail spade]

Wonder if its 1 more trio or more

[torn karma]

Servers barely handle 12 as it is

I doubt its more than 15

[trail spade]

500 hunters !

[torn karma]

Id rather play planetside 2 at that point lmao

[trail spade]

I am hyped for more players tbh

More action is nice

[left orbit]

3rd partying will be strong…

4th partying lol

[trail spade]

Duos will be hell tho

6th partying

[left orbit]

ah yeah. duos…

i already don’t play duos because of this -.-

[trail spade]

I do duos into trios

[left orbit]

i mean. maybe if a team spawns near the center of the map

maybe that’s fine

call me crazy

[trail spade]

There are plenty of compounds to spawn around the map

[left orbit]

but i was thinking of that since i started playing

[trail spade]

That would be a huge advantage

[left orbit]

yes it has its issues

this kind of thing might require revisiting the boss spawn mechanic

what if the boss doesn’t spawn at round start?

something else makes it spawn

and a big UNGODLY THUNDER BOLT makes it spawn after some player actions

actually we could have a team spawn "center" of the map (within 4-5 compounds around dead center), and consuming a 3rd clue (any team) would then trigger boss spawn, kinda like Soul Surviror

[fleet adder]

I finally lost this absolute juicer of a man

8 kills first game, 7 kills next game, then this one

made a mistake and got too close to an auto 5 🙁

[opal dawn]

250 vs 250 teams, lets go

[left orbit]

aaah yeah :/ i have a physical reaction when someone pushes me rapidly. like if an invisible barrier made of cotton, thickening as milliseconds go, telling me to GTFO

turns out it’s always a shotgun

always

[fleet adder]

unfortunately I pushed him

i just fumbled

[left orbit]

ah 😄

[fleet adder]

last guy alive, they killed my teammate, and i didn't darksight

thought he was somewhere he wasnt

was 10000% my own mistake that lost the match

[opal dawn]

Wow, you can't ever admit to doing a mistake online man

He was hacking, he got lucky

[torn karma]

Its auto 5

The spam gun

[opal dawn]

So then the gun is OP! Easy peasy! Never admit mistakes!

[torn karma]

[fleet adder]

you are so right

[normal radish]

now make it melee only

[trail spade]

Never admit mistakes !

[deep turtle]

Time to change gpu ?or just clean it

[normal radish]

why did i think its a lock pick animation from bethesda games

i cant be the only one

[left orbit]

you lose relentless when deathcheats activates and you haven’t been resed?

what the actual fek

[opal dawn]

Relentless kicks in immediately upon death, so that makes sense

death/downed

[left orbit]

i also thought of a key way

[left orbit]

do you value money or your time? because cleaning will be cheaper than buying a new one…

[normal radish]

the moment your back (or if die face down chest) touches ground you lose it

[left orbit]

erm... ah... didn’t know that i thought it was on revive

[normal radish]

nay, although i never die face down, as i always face my enemy

It's relentless. No mercy.

[deep turtle]

I fear I might break the components

Why xqc and shroud he could choose rachtaz and hornet😀😀

[high shell]

fucking dogshi AI

about to win a 2v1 and when healing a fucking zombie just killed me

[cold axle]

I understand your point of view, but I suppose xqc, Post Malone, and Shroud have a huge following. Crytek is still a company, and they'll implement strategies befitting a company to reach more people.

[cold axle]

Happened to me hahahaha. This game It forces you to maintain control of the situation at all times.

[deep turtle]

Btw have ur friend
answrd?

[high shell]

yeah i wasn't expecting a zombie just running straight to me to kill me while i was healing from a dumdum ammo

[cold axle]

There were no replies at the moment. But I know your graphics card runs Hunt well and stably.

[high shell]

im utterly mad

just because of that

[cold axle]

There are things that cannot be foreseen.

[vivid kernel]

Hello hunters, is there any hunter from the BALKAN? So far I’ve played on PlayStation, I have around 2000 hours, MMR 6, but I’ve now switched to PC and I’m looking for a team to play with.

[deep turtle]

It would be good if they add a melle weapon and the animation attack is spin

[cold axle]

We could play a few games, but I'm not fluent in English. I can point out important points that will lead to winning games.

[vivid kernel]

We can play latter, its not problem bro, but i finding some people from BALKAN, someone who speaking cro-serb

[left orbit]

learn to do it. check youtube videos for your card. use compressed air canisters to blow onto the components, never "vacuum". do NOT wear anything that can build up static charges, best if you can "leash" yourself on ground and you’ll be fine.

also: work slow and take photos after removing anything. you don’t need to remove the heat pipes to clean, just the shroud and fans eventually

[deep turtle]

I'm thinking off leaf blower idk if it will be safe

I've use Compress can b4 seems to weak the dust doesn't even budge

I'm just gonna blow the sht out of it😂

[left orbit]

cotton-rod + isopropyl alcohol to remove what’s stuck on the board/heatsink

it’s a bit time consuming but if you just work slow you’ll be fine.

buying a new card just because of dust is like saying you want a new car because the tires are flat imho 😅

ah and well. there are some obvious things but always worth mentioning: don’t "force" something to move. if it’s not moving it’s likely that something prevents it from moving. it’s especially true on the PCIe slot where the security "lever" might seem released but isn’t for example

[crystal trellis]

how does a gpu even end up like that

[cyan bluff]

Haha that's typical Hunt 😅 Ive lost track of the times NPCs have cost me fights ingame, it's something you just gotta try to best foresee before starting an engagement, i.e. what else is around me

[high shell]

they completely forgot to add the fave marker into the weekly challenges

[dense girder]

What is default keybind for map again?

[left orbit]

i mean either i’m blind or there isn’t really much to it other than… regular dust buildup?

if the environment has cigaret smoke it could be more sticky though

[light sky]

Tab

[civic ruin]

Centennial sniper way better

[dense girder]

Aight thank you

[crystal trellis]

seems like smoking to me

my gpu never looked that sticky and dirty

[mighty lynx]

smoking and/or high humidity. that dust looks caked on

what's this uppercut skin? i like it

[raven totem]

I think last bp, so it should be back in the store next fall

[mighty lynx]

oh cool

big dynamite detonates if it touches fire?

[mystic mulch]

any explosive will detonate instantly if it hits fire.

[fathom shale]

Sometimes even if they don't really hit fire but were in proximity-ish/had a thought of fire

[mighty lynx]

i just found out the hard way. i'm just trying to get those hammer kills man...

[tall canopy]

yeah if someone shoots a flare on the ground next to you move away

[stone wharf]

whats the point of hidden profile

bro head shot us with 3 shot from 70 meter in 4 s

[tall canopy]

privacy

[stone wharf]

in diffrent directions

its 100% cheat

[tall canopy]

!report and move on

[graceful hedge]

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

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

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

[stone wharf]

crytek report system + anti cheat is bullshit

[tall canopy]

theyre not, u can also report ppl that have their profile hidden

[astral moss]

Yeah if he headshot 3 people in a row he might be cheating.

[stone wharf]

ah ,, ok

[stone wharf]

70 metere

if its 5 meter

i agree

he have good game sense

and umm bla bla hes pro

but bro 70 metere

in 3 diffrent directions

[tall canopy]

70m is not impossible tho

[astral moss]

Yeah 70m with a snipe isn't that difficult.

[stone wharf]

i know its not impossble

[astral moss]

Like mosin omegalul.

[stone wharf]

i have head shot with pax true shot near 116 metere

but 3 shot back to back

[astral moss]

Yeah some weapon have high fire rate.

And if you are just going forward its not that difficult to hit the head.

[whole mist]

Oooof. The fast movement ads speed bug is still around

[upbeat lark]

game dev i humbly ask a small knife skin that look like a kris
might not be lore accurate but rangda is here so might aswell complete the look

[dawn zinc]

Wonder if we will get the new post game screens after this event. It's been a while since they mentioned it now

[tall canopy]

dont know if we ever get this, since we never heard of it again at we got tons of other ui changes instead. maybe the shifted the focus to other things.

future will tell

[whole mist]

Shame cuz it looked so cool

[dawn zinc]

I feel like they will still add it at some point. It was quite a highly requested change I think. The Ui changes we got were just pretty vital because it was so bad lol

[dense girder]

A bit rusty after not playing Hunt in a bit but Springfield never dissappoints

Man I love this gun

[mighty lynx]

if you buy a story challenge is it permanently available?

[dense girder]

Yeah

It's just time limited to buy

afaik

[jaunty patio]

Yes, there's no time limit on completing it after it's been purchased. However, the event-related challenges in this first story challenge will eventually be replaced with generic ones.

[mighty lynx]

ok that's great. because i'm sick and tired of tryingto get hammer kills

i hate that challenge with a passion

[jaunty patio]

That one's probably going to stay 😅 it's more the "Get High Strikers" and "Kill 50 clown grunts" that'll change

[astral moss]

The 50 circus grunt is annoying af.

[jaunty patio]

I have to assume there was a miscommunication between departments on that, the ones who made the challenge assumed clown grunts were going to be as plentiful as last time

[whole mist]

Now that I think about it…..clown grunts aren’t going to stay after the event…..so how are you going to complete the challenge the rest of the year?

[jaunty patio]

Those challenges are getting replaced later

They mentioned it in the blogpost about the story challenge changes

[whole mist]

[cursive magnet]

After all this time since the event launched, it still gives me a mini scare when i boot it up and it prompts me with the server error.

But one press on reconnect reconnects me, so everything's good..

[unique trail]

Hunt

[cursive magnet]

Hunt

[civic ruin]

I go into solo clash
Not a single shot for 5 minutes
suddenly 2 shotgun shots
2 die
I just leave

It's 6 solo teams

[hybrid oriole]

Wow !!

[civic ruin]

Donno why 6 solo guys in a clash is a thing

[hybrid oriole]

first time i hear this , thats unusual

[civic ruin]

Not fun, it was also a night game, literally best choice was to just leave

[hybrid oriole]

no kidding

[civic ruin]

when I go into a clash and there's no shots in the first 1-2 minutes I already know its a shit game

usually just leave

99% of the time its the right choice

[hybrid oriole]

agrred

[wary flower]

Funny how now that the Shredder needs skill to use I don't see anyone using it

[whole mist]

I’ve seen the shredder like….2 times this event

[fathom shale]

I don't use it because it's bugged

It sometimes just straight up goes through what you are aiming at

[mighty lynx]

holy shit the sniper scopes are overtuned

[whole mist]

Isn’t that just the shooting range dummys being bugged? And not actual hunters?

[mighty lynx]

no wonder people like to sit 3 compounds over in a different zip code

[fathom shale]

Nope, also had it happen on hunters

[whole mist]

[mighty lynx]

so what's the difference between maynard and sparks?

[fathom shale]

Maynard is medium ammo

Is the only gun with staged reload

Can have dumdum ammo

Limited to only scoped variants

[hybrid oriole]

Maynard don't have dumdum

that would be Brutal as f lol

[tall canopy]

it has, its scarce

[hybrid oriole]

oufff

[steep narwhal]

and it is brutal

[civic ruin]

Maynard dumdum should just be removed tbh

144dmg + bleed is ridiculous

[mighty lynx]

so why would i use maynard over sparks?

apart from it having a silenced scoped variant

[fathom shale]

Less bullet drop, better ammo economy

[civic ruin]

Just use centennial sniper

[wary flower]

Game casually spawning me in another fucking compound

[mighty lynx]

man with that 6 second cycle time i just might go with the centennial

[vestal kindle]

these missions are time-limited?

[astral moss]

No.

[whole mist]

Krampus is time limited to purchase, not to finish

[vestal kindle]

I already bought it, but is there a time limit to complete it?

[astral moss]

Did you read ?

[whole mist]

Imma just…..leave this

[vestal kindle]

Ok sorry for asking. bb

[mighty lynx]

answer is no, the timer was just for until when it is available for purchase. you can complete it at any point after you bought it, no time limit

i too expected it to be time limited like a battle pass

[bitter fulcrum]

does the game still crash?

[crystal trellis]

XD

[dawn zinc]

I wonder if we will get a ranked mode for Hunt in 2026

[tall canopy]

why would you need that

[dawn zinc]

Does anyone know for the badge progression, does damage dealt not get added if you die?

[astral moss]

Mosin/dolch only mode.

[mortal cove]

NOW THAT

That's a great idea

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[astral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/petter-griffin-falling-of-the-stairs-nosolohit-gif-17661397000889481231

[dawn zinc]

Dont need it. Just sometimes would be nice to queue with people who are more thoughtful with their playstyle

6 star is very hit and miss

[astral moss]

Pretty much what is 6* already tho.

[dawn zinc]

I queue with people who don't give a second thought to team positioning constantly

[astral moss]

Yeah typical random, but if you take those guys as exemple...

[dawn zinc]

They are the example of 6 star

[civic ruin]

Play Maynard if you can't hit heads

[astral moss]

Low 6* is pretty much 5* ngl

[dawn zinc]

or not even ranked mode, I guess just add another bracket to mmr

[civic ruin]

Centennial sniper is the sniper to click heads

[tall canopy]

wich would change nothing

[dawn zinc]

Add ranked mode then

[tall canopy]

wich would make 0 sense and would unnecessarily split the playerbase

[dawn zinc]

Makes sense for people who want to play ranked

[astral moss]

• still wont change anything.

[tall canopy]

yes, but hunt is not a competetive game

[astral moss]

And you would rank over what ?

KD ?

Bounty extracted ?

[dawn zinc]

What makes a game competitive?

[opal dawn]

I consider a game competitive having an E-sport scene

[scarlet plinth]

He was forced to use Nitro Express in far range combat

https://tenor.com/view/sad-crying-crying-seal-forced-to-seal-crying-gif-20960311

[dawn zinc]

I think Hunt would have an E-Sport scene if it had things like custom lobbies and a spectator mode

[scarlet plinth]

With Dumdum ammo

[dawn zinc]

People would definitely be hosting tournaments and stuff

[opal dawn]

We have had Bayou Bowls, so it's technically possible even without

[tall canopy]

there are already turnaments and i would also love custom lobbies, even if theyre player hosted, but why would you want an esport scene for hunt?

[dawn zinc]

Why not?

having tournaments to look forward to would be nice

[worn oak]

Lady, that's not a good cover.

[astral moss]

Would be boring af.

cross bow shotbolt really 1 shotting EVERYTHING in sight

i love it

[dawn zinc]

Great thing is, you could simply not watch it

and the people who want to watch it can

[hot mortar]

i dont think there would be enough people who'd want to watch it to make it sustainable

[dawn zinc]

It doesn't need to be sustainable. Crytek just needed to add custom lobbies and a spectator mode so someone can host them on a stream

Like someone said, we already have the Bayou Bowl. If the hosts of those tournaments had better resources in the game, the tournaments would be way better

[desert acorn]

There's no official league for immortals. Still... There can be only one.

[trail spade]

NOOOOO

Tbh ranked mode is the last thing the game needs ngl

[astral moss]

Yeah if i want to see people camping everywhere i rather spectate the average game on EU.

[trail spade]

Cant wait to see Team X camp Team Y all game because they have snipers and the other lads have shotguns

Truly a Hunt moment

[sleek arrow]

Is. Hunt getting pc crossplay with xbox and playstation

[fathom shale]

Likely not

[trail spade]

Hopefully no

[tall canopy]

we dont know

[opal dawn]

And they will all complain about each other

[mystic mulch]

Lets focus on being able to cross invite on what little crossplay actually exists.

[trail spade]

Pro play would be funny because it will absolutely destroy all perceptions about balance. The meta would be abused beyond all doubt.

[opal dawn]

Oh absolutely, there'd be little but spitzer and dolchp

[crystal trellis]

Im still baffled by the difference in playstyle on NA servers vs EU

[normal radish]

ive "heard" people in US tend to be more casual

[crystal trellis]

it's a lot more fun

[normal radish]

fun is individually explained imo

[crystal trellis]

also seems more 'easy' no insult intended haha but maybe cuz ppl play less sweaty

[mystic mulch]

My basic assumption would be the Americans are generally a bigger fan of cowboy action if they're playing this game.

[crystal trellis]

which is a welcome break

[normal radish]

some people enjoy high stakes

some people take those stakes and immerse themselves in them

for example i play hunt with a semi serious mindset. not too lax not too tense

[crystal trellis]

well balance is key, idk at 5-6 mmr EU is just.. tense i guess

but i didnt expect such a massive difference in playstyle

[normal radish]

i love that tension in hunt

[crystal trellis]

same, but to just swap to NA and meme is nice eveyr now and then i guess 😄

[normal radish]

hope fellow us hunters dont get offfended lol

[crystal trellis]

all respect for NA players ofc 😄

[untold stag]

and if they removed most traps, levering, fanning and shotguns in boss compounds

[wicked yacht]

(Fun stuff)

[crystal trellis]

it's had those traits for years and they are not OP, levering and fanning imo. shotguns is a different debate

also i think hunt is better off without esport scene

[untold stag]

shotguns kinda make the game shit when im pushing a boss compound and I dont have a shotgun and the enemy team is cooped up in there with romeros

makes it boring

[crystal trellis]

agreed tho fanning / levering is a counter. ive disliked shotguns ever since before 1896

there was a period they were even stronger

[untold stag]

its boss compound I have a real problem with

with shotguns

[winged belfry]

That’s why you bring a LeMat my friend. If you can’t beat them, join them… sort of?

[untold stag]

theyre already super easy to use

[crystal trellis]

i tend to stay out of dark sight range to prevent bounty compound campdown

[untold stag]

they really need to make the game OR make a game mode that doesnt have so much camping

[mystic mulch]

Not gonna happen unless the game actively tries to kill you for sitting still.

People will always try to camp because they perceive it as an easier way to deal with enemies.

It doesn't actually matter how effective it is as a strategy.

[winged belfry]

Eventually they’ll have to leave that lair to extract. Could always catch them that way by having an ambush setup somewhere along the way.

[mystic mulch]

Yeah but then waiting 40 minutes for them to escape their concertina hellhole is something not everyone is willing to sit through.

[winged belfry]

It’s either that or just bring 4 big bundles to blow them up every game.

[mystic mulch]

I've said that before but people don't seem to want to.

[winged belfry]

Yeah, there really isn’t any perfect loadout or solution. Bomblance or launcher with double wax frags as ammo with wax dynamite + choke bombs is my ultimate fk you camper setup

[short halo]

Waiting 40 mins just means both teams are camping

[mystic mulch]

I'll have you know I spent those 40 minutes chipping away at the concertina with my knife.

[turbid turret]

Howdy

[short halo]

Get a better knife

[mystic mulch]

[short halo]

That one's dull

[normal radish]

you can clear concertinca easily

[mystic mulch]

There's a lotta ways to do it.

[normal radish]

decoy fuses clear them fully

[mystic mulch]

[normal radish]

decoy fuses INSTA clear them

[short halo]

Beetle deletes conc bombs

[crystal trellis]

hammer too..

[normal radish]

stalkers also clear

[mystic mulch]

I know that. Beetle is explosive damage.

I don't understand how a decoy fuse could though...

[normal radish]

the explosive decoy fuse

not THE FUZE

[mystic mulch]

[normal radish]

it clears it effectively

and you got multiple

[mystic mulch]

I don't know what you mean by this distinction.

[normal radish]

there is a fuse that emits light right?

[autumn moat]

This thing is what I imagine the crack heads living down the streat make when they are puffing too hard... and I LOVE IT

[winged belfry]

It’s the fake dynamite decoy

[normal radish]

there is a fuse that explodes

[winged belfry]

It can blow shit up

[mystic mulch]

There's only one thing called a decoy fuse.

[turbid turret]

I dont ever use explosives, only the molatov

[normal radish]

which explodes

[mystic mulch]

It does?

[normal radish]

yes

[winged belfry]

Yeah

[mystic mulch]

huh.

[winged belfry]

It comes with like what? A pack of 3 or so?

[normal radish]

deals 40 dmage too

[winged belfry]

No one uses them enough tbh

It’s a good way to fake out bushwookies

[mystic mulch]

I was completely unaware it even did damage.

[normal radish]

its an underrated tool

[normal radish]

clears doors shutters concertinca AI too

[short halo]

Also blows up shutters and barred doors

[mystic mulch]

That changes things a bit.

[turbid turret]

Any1 down to play? Never played a trio match b4

[normal radish]

[mystic mulch]

That probably means it clears Poison bombs too.

[winged belfry]

You also can restock them with decoy supply from ammo crates. It’s 1 point trait

[normal radish]

NO

sorry no

[mystic mulch]

Doesn't?

[winged belfry]

Nope

[normal radish]

choke bombs clear

poison

[winged belfry]

You need choke bombs to clear out poison yeah

[mystic mulch]

Normal Dynamite clears Poison bombs.

[normal radish]

nay

[mystic mulch]

It does.

[opal dawn]

It doesn't, only choke can do that

[normal radish]

nope mate it doesnt

[mystic mulch]

Okay.

I'll go make a clip.

[opal dawn]

Please do, cuz that changes a lot

[mystic mulch]

This is something I've known of since 1895.

[winged belfry]

Yeah I’ve never see any sort of explosion clear out poison bombs

[normal radish]

yeh im curuous too

[whole furnace]

Three in a row, what do I win?

[mystic mulch]

50 hunt dolar

[winged belfry]

Four shot boons! All of them

[spark plaza]

amogus

[opal dawn]

I'll give u 50 hunt dolar if u show us clip

[normal radish]

make it 100

[opal dawn]

NO, 150!

[short halo]

Raised taxes

[normal radish]

200

[whole furnace]

Jokes on you, I live in Denmark, that is the norm

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-gif-4011130199587889790

[normal radish]

tag me in the clip pls

id like to know

[winged belfry]

Just tested it out in shooting range, it doesn’t get rid of poison bombs lol

[opal dawn]

Kinda figured, I've never seen explosions get rid of it

[winged belfry]

Only choke bombs/bolts/beetles clear it out

[winged belfry]

Lmao

I have no idea why he said that so confidently with his chest

[opal dawn]

This is when we know Shark is cheating

[winged belfry]

Hax confirmed

[mystic mulch]

Because it would be really silly if the 2 times I needed it to work for me, it only worked because the timing was exactly perfect.

[winged belfry]

Or maybe the duration of the poison bomb just happened to end? Or someone choke bombed?

[short halo]

Poison bolt from hand xbow is much shorter than poison bomb

[mystic mulch]

This is true.

[winged belfry]

Poison traps also have a short duration

[mystic mulch]

Yes.

I am aware.

[opal dawn]

It's either like a a minute or so, or the poison bomb which is fuckin' 8 mins long

[mystic mulch]

I'm thinking that it probably doesn't work on your own poison clouds.

with the alternative being that I'm simply insane and hallucinated the whole thing.

[opal dawn]

Never underestimate insanity

You do in fact, play Hunt

[normal radish]

there is a term for this called "tripping balls"

[mystic mulch]

It would be very very funny if a fluke of lucky timing convinced me of a mechanic that doesn't exist for 3 years.
