hunt-general

[sage belfry]

I can still run cent bleed its just slightly annoying to get ahold of now

[mortal basin]

Maynard dumdum is a dumb lame gimmick that they shouldn't have even brought up into a conversation while devs were around

[sage belfry]

still the same weapon with the same issue

[small hearth]

When are they bringing console explosive crossbow meta to pc?

[desert acorn]

Honestly, dd on cenny levering was oppressive, but not a guarantee. I was using it because it was too strong, and I was awful at the game.

[sage belfry]

Maynard should of never existed period

[whole furnace]

I understand somewhat the thought process, but god it was a faulty one lmao

[sage belfry]

Maynard bleed is a joke, maynard hv is a joke, maynard silenced is a joke

[mortal basin]

I don't

[desert acorn]

Scarcing it, I've only used it once or twice. It's a fun thing to have that gives a bit of an advantage. It's like a bonus for winning a match.

[mortal basin]

I don't understand it at all tbh

[desert acorn]

Maynard silencer was a mistake... bleed was a stupidity

Give my sparks bleed ammo

[astral moss]

Me when i got one shot by a sniper cause of the bleed.

[desert acorn]

everyone when they got one shot by a sniper, at short range with a body shot

[mortal basin]

It literally is Sparks bleed. People meme about shit like that in this chat, "sparks dumdum, silenced sniper, yada yada" clearly as a joke, but then they actually add it to the game

[sage belfry]

Dolch should of never gotten special ammo, it is the special ammo lol

[desert acorn]

It was one of the best shotguns in the game... more reliable kill than point blank flechette

[whole furnace]

Imagine the next ammo type: HV bleed.
Less damage, no pen, no MV penalty and cause bleed.
Balanced trust me.

[mortal basin]

FMJ on Dolch is literal comedy

[sage belfry]

Dolch is fine where it is, special ammo is just overkill

dolch bleed is cringe and dolch fmj is just op

[astral moss]

Will happen at some point.

[sage belfry]

poison bleed

[desert acorn]

Honestly, if you're on the other side of the wall, and I've got fmj on dualies, and I know you're there? You gonna die

[small hearth]

Might as well make it do fire damage too at that point

[desert acorn]

dolch or no

[whole furnace]

And then give it to Martini Henry! >:V

[sage belfry]

Poison shotgun flechettes (To any crytek dev thats joke don't even think of adding this lol)

[frozen current]

it worked lol. 8 mins of sun card regen just to get headshot by a maynard :D

[mortal basin]

Dolch FMJ being mentioned seriously as an option blows my mind. I simply don't understand how anyone could possibly think that would be a positive addition to the game

[desert acorn]

I hope you got it on video

That's hilarious irony... after the sting of defeat fades.

[whole furnace]

Bc when your standard of meta is overtuned long ammo, everything seems less bad lool

[sage belfry]

Just shows the devs are no longer in touch with their game, old hunt that would never be an idea

[desert acorn]

Long ammo is overrated

[mortal basin]

But Dolch is the long ammo companion

[mortal basin]

lol

Dolch is the jelly to long ammo peanut butter

[astral moss]

When you balance a game for people that can't aim it might happen.

[small hearth]

I think derringer ammo is the real meta

[mortal basin]

People that aim are the people that make it a problem

[desert acorn]

I had a frontier for the first time in a year. I started with 36 rounds, plus the loaded ones... wth?

[normal radish]

old hunt nearly died, if changes didnt happen it would have surely died

[astral moss]

Like imagine taking 6* into account when you are adding thing.

[mortal basin]

Imagine not

[whole furnace]

At least Dolch is somewhat balanced now, compact damage range and pen.

[mortal basin]

Not taking it into account is ridiculous

[desert acorn]

Same with maynard

[astral moss]

Only depend on a scarce thing, that for some reason can be remove.

[desert acorn]

I think it's medium

[normal radish]

its between medium and compact

[astral moss]

Like if they want tomorow they get back dolch FMJ and maynard bleed for no reason.

[whole furnace]

It got changed, it is like "old medium".
But now pistols inherit their rifle drop-off range, so medium pistol damage drop starts at 30m now.
In Dolch's case it still starts at 20m + pen is more akin to compact.

So FMJ is better than ever for the gun.

[mortal basin]

Got killed through a brick corner with it the other day

[normal radish]

the recoil and sway aint so nice on it though

[sage belfry]

Old hunt nearly died because the game ran like launch cyberpunk 2077 lol not because balancing

[whole furnace]

Sway is the same on any other gun.
That said recoil is for sure worse, but then again, lmao, Dolch P :V

[sage belfry]

Old hunt the game crashed every other match, atleast here on console

[astral moss]

Old hunt where you got one shot in the torso by nearly everything ?

[small hearth]

I mean dolch has semi-auto sway I think is what he means where you get intense sway after shooting

[mortal basin]

Oh no

[small hearth]

Cause that was a specific nerf they made

[normal radish]

no it didnt, i was there and played it on a 1050. if you think hunt was balanced then you just are blinded by nostalgia

[mortal basin]

Good thing I have 8 more shots before I need to reload

[sage belfry]

It was more balanced then it is now lol

[whole furnace]

Said that for many years, while there have always been room for balance, looking at you fucking long ammo, it was usually the broken state of the game that kept people stop playing.
And now we have the reverse issue, game runs fine (at least what I'm experiencing and hearing), but balance is now so alienated from the core.

[desert acorn]

I used to beat people with sheer game knowledge, because I was awful in a firefight.

[astral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-no-nope-not-doing-it-never-gif-16758419287806165606

[desert acorn]

It occurred to me this week I learned how to shoot. In Hunt, anyway. Learned to shoot when I was a kid otherwise

[sage belfry]

Old hunt most my friends quit the game due to reload bug and never came back, can't blame them to be honest that reload bug honestly was horrible

Not only did the game crash often, your gun refusing to reload? lol

[small hearth]

Dont remind me

[dawn zinc]

I don't really see why people think Hunt is so unbalanced. There's a few weapons that suck to die to but generally you can win a game with any weapon, the game isn't so unbalanced you will never win against what people consider unbalanced

[mortal basin]

There hasn't been a bug that made me consider quiting tbh

[normal radish]

hunt had dogshit balancing and performance issues

[sage belfry]

The reload bug ever existing is a joke, at no point should guns be broken in a fps game

[normal radish]

they have made heaps of changes that altered core gameplay to make it less miserable for new and returning players

[astral moss]

Old hunt like before 2.0 or even older ?

[ancient cave]

hunt is a game I know I will never really fully quit no matter what

[mortal basin]

Just the repetitive games playing teams over and over and over that play the EXACT same

[desert acorn]

This is the most balanced shooter that exists.

[dawn zinc]

Crown and cringe is one of the most unbalanced cqc weapons in the game and yesterday we rolled a trio of them using lemat lol

[desert acorn]

Except for the ones that totally suck

[sage belfry]

Same, mostly due to there just not being many good extraction shooters

[whole furnace]

Yeah, I lost most of my buddies from right after Tide of Shadows and the following many next patches that both had worsening performance, but more so an increase of "non-hunt" additions and weapons.
We could stomach the game was not performing well bc we hoped the 2.0 release would fix that (lol).

[desert acorn]

Any pistol, no matter how crappy, any rifle... derringer and thrown weapons... ohk to the head. If you're good enough, you make any weapon meta

[small hearth]

Theres some really unbalanced stuff in the game. The game overall has balance in terms of availability of options but still. Like special ammo spam etc

[desert acorn]

Emaiza with her derringer... it's got a great RoF, fast reload, and awful drop off. And ohk to the head

[whole furnace]

But some weapons just headshots better.
Hence there are weapons that are more meta than others.

[mortal basin]

The "every weapon is viable" argument doesn't really hold up tbh

[small hearth]

The period where they just gave everything amazing special ammo options without consideration

[whole furnace]

Just hit headshots

smh

[mortal basin]

Just headshot the dolch P user

So free

[astral moss]

Pov: When auto-5 out range a romero.

[desert acorn]

Meta will always be a thing in every game. If you're not a pro, competing in a tournament, ignore the meta and play what's fun.

[normal radish]

if we consider headshots only, i think winny and marathon take the cake

[small hearth]

Duh but you still can play the other stuff I literally said it was unbalanced

[normal radish]

low recoil high rof and steep mags

[mortal basin]

You'd think

[whole furnace]

Doesn't matter what weapon you pick, everything is equal, but somehow this group of weapons seems to win more often for some mysterious reason!

[desert acorn]

I played splatoon for 3 games. I came to main dualie squelchers. They nerfed them 14 times until they weren't just not Meta, but they were no longer reasonably viable in tournament play

[mortal basin]

You literally can't escape the meta

[normal radish]

me who havent played mosin or dolch in 4 years

[mortal basin]

Some people can't turn down literally every single possible advantage

[wheat pilot]

What? Just because you can make something work doesn't make it meta. If you get good results with bad guns that just means that you are skilled, not that the weapon is any good.

[astral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-fresh-prince-will-smith-gif-8260422073282672663

[whole furnace]

Yeah, said that for years: "If MV was the only thing that mattered Cenny would be a top meta weapon, but it ain't".

(This is an outdated quote)

[mortal basin]

They have to use everything that gives them the best possible chance at winning

[desert acorn]

I didn't say they were meta. I said they were VIABLE.

[mortal basin]

And there are enough of those people that I have at least one team of them in virtually every single match I play

[desert acorn]

With a Meta loadout, your enemy still doesn't have an insurmountable advantage.

[normal radish]

"they" probably suck at the game and want o mask it behind mosin lol

[astral moss]

Yes viable, but you still need to do more effort than someone with a better gun.

[mortal basin]

It's almost insurmountable tbh

[wheat pilot]

You literally said that it's possible to make any weapon meta.

[normal radish]

nay

[raven totem]

looking at the reintroduction of shredder, I think they're leaning a bit more on the tame side.

[desert acorn]

Then do more effort

[normal radish]

it nowhere near invincible

[raven totem]

shredder is pretty buns for what it is

[astral moss]

[desert acorn]

Well, it's almost 5am, and I said it wrong

[whole furnace]

Dunno what kind of loss is worse for me:

• Losing to the 2.5KDA Mosin Spitzer trio.
  or
• Losing to the 0.9KDA dude that just had a Dolch P and I didn't.

[mortal basin]

I think shredder is fine tbh. Hoping they don't go overboard with a buff soon

[desert acorn]

And there are some weapons that aren't good for most, but others can turn them into the best weapon in their hands.

There are people who like the Rival, and it can be just shy of top tier for them. But overall, the quantifiable stats aren't great.

[sage belfry]

Yeah but atleast that .9KDA player actually enjoys the game and probably rushes fights, while that 2.5KDA mosin spitzer has been sitting in that same exact bush for 20 minutes

[raven totem]

I don't think it's fine, but I don't think it needs anything crazy, some very slight love taps in things like cocking time or reload, nothing to do with it's one tap or anything like that.

[astral moss]

And the mosin spitzer is more likely to win the game, imagine.

[desert acorn]

What about losing to me, when my weapon is a sparks, and I have a hand crossbow?

[sage belfry]

No shit he's hiding outside the fight with a sniper obviously his odds are better, its just a cringe way of playing lol

[desert acorn]

I don't play Meta. No interest in it. When I'm top tier, I'll start looking at it.

[raven totem]

shredder feels like a smidge stronger than chkuno right now

[astral moss]

Hunt is cringe.

[mortal basin]

Wild

[whole furnace]

Shredder is fine, just hard to argue against double pledge money on the same location.
In general, the circus (and other POI) are too cramped with options and there are too few pledges.
There are at least: Traits, Money/EXP (depending on prestige or not) and then the shredder.

[desert acorn]

Shredder is probably the best weapon in the game.

[whole furnace]

I can live with that.

[sage belfry]

Imaging getting on the game just to camp in a bush all day, gotta be the most boring experience ever

[small hearth]

Choke bolt+Sparks

[sage belfry]

not to mention it ruins everyone elses experience

[desert acorn]

It doesn't though

[astral moss]

Firts time on hunt ?

[dawn zinc]

I've seen the shredder like twice this whole event

[desert acorn]

We love to hate the rats.

[mortal basin]

Just hoping it doesn't get the classic Crytek triple buff treatment. Something small would probably be fine

[raven totem]

I had plenty of chance to use it the once match, was not impressed with it at all/

[mortal basin]

Yeah, but you've used it how many times?

[whole furnace]

Eeeeeh, not sure about that.
Feels bad to lose to someone that is crutching hard.

[desert acorn]

It's a rapid-fire crossbow. Crossbow is already meta

[raven totem]

I think/hope crytek knows better, it'll likely not be touched but ya

[mortal basin]

Everything takes a second to get used to

[desert acorn]

According to Whityy, anyway.

[mortal basin]

My opinions on it aren't very strong since no one plays it

[raven totem]

it wasn't hard to grasp though? like legit a naked crossbow would have done me better

[mortal basin]

But a faster crossbow is pretty much scarce worthy in my imo

[astral moss]

It look like a crossbow but that's all, everything is different.

[whole furnace]

Honestly just start by reducing it from 3 to 2 marks.
That means a 6/6 hunter can get both money and shredder.

[sage belfry]

I mean hiding with a spitzer sniper is crutching harder, at least the dolch came out to fight

[desert acorn]

It's a ohk at about the same range

[dawn zinc]

Lets just be glad we aren't in a rez bolt still exists timeline. I was watching an end of year montage and it gave me traumatic flashbacks seeing that there

[desert acorn]

Slow-firing projectile

[whole furnace]

Most mosin spitzers are not snipers lol

[sage belfry]

Id much rather fight a dolch pushing then a sniper hiding 200+m away lol

[desert acorn]

Slow-moving

[raven totem]

I don't think it would be worth it at 2 marks novelty aside

[mortal basin]

It's 2 marks now btw

Both of you not knowing is pretty telling 😭

[astral moss]

Like shredder is worst than crossbow in every way.

[raven totem]

"it's pretty cool that it's irrelivent"

[sage belfry]

Console they are, I rarely see an unscoped mosin spitzer

[desert acorn]

How do you figure?

[mortal basin]

They're gonna make it spam again

[desert acorn]

The noise is literally the only thing worse.

[mortal basin]

It's so over

[wheat pilot]

thanks for clarifying because i was sitting here thinking am i crazy i bought it for 2 marks recently wtf are they talking about

[sage belfry]

Unless its long range though mosin velocity is enough anyways, spitzer isn't needed

[whole furnace]

Lmao, yeah I guess I misremember from somewhere else :b
But also been busy with money farming that I haven't thought much about it.

[dawn zinc]

If they plan on keeping the shredder in the game after the event I can't see them not buffing it. Nobody is running it and if it's gonna be scarce there needs to be an incentive to pick it up

[desert acorn]

Spitzer hits them the moment you fire

[whole furnace]

• losing your 3-slot weapon is kinda a lot.

[mortal basin]

I've been meaning to try it, but I always remember after I already got the money 💔

Yeah, true

Mule kick scarce trait when?

[astral moss]

I wont mind if its buyable.

[whole furnace]

Making the Shredder buyable in the menu for pledgemarks would be MUCH better.

[mortal basin]

That gets added as a base trait the following event?

[astral moss]

Like its a fine weapon now, + other player hear you from 10m.

[desert acorn]

If you've got a shotgun or crossbow, shredder is a great sub

I think more people take the longer rifle, and the shotgun is medium

[mortal basin]

They could maybe just get rid of the noise

[desert acorn]

If they did that, then it would be crazy op

[dawn zinc]

I guess since we're keeping pledge marks between events and stuff making it buyable in lobby would be decent yeah

[whole furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/lotta-damage-happy-souls-ghost-backstab-coz-its-easy-gif-10038295629462036736

[mortal basin]

Well, then it would just be a repeating crossbow, which is pretty op

But scarce event weapon, ya know?

I think I'd rather them do that then buff its fire rate or something

That would be a drag

[desert acorn]

I see

[whole furnace]

yeah but now crytek aims for 2-3 months of events, I don't wanna deal with months of BS weapons.

[astral moss]

Nah.

[desert acorn]

maybe increase the cost slightly to 3, and remove the noise

[mortal basin]

Best I can do is years of BS weapons

[small hearth]

If it didnt have a loud ass noise Id prob use it more, but I like that part of its identity

[dawn zinc]

The only reason I can think of using the shredder is for how it ricochets but I've not seen it enough to know if it's even any good

[desert acorn]

Wildland and the Rivalero are both permanent now, I think.

[whole furnace]

Shredder fix, move it to menu shop, 3 pledgemarks, see how it lands.

[dawn zinc]

Like pushing shotgun campers with it could be good if it bounces off walls and kills people often but...nobody is running it so I don't know lol

[desert acorn]

I think I'll bring my extras into clash, see how they do

[mortal basin]

Now we just need to think of 4 more ways to buff it so we can see how it goes

[astral moss]

The hitbox of the saw is too small to randomly spamming in a compound now.

[desert acorn]

Make it a homing missile

That explodes

[small hearth]

This is just old shredder

[desert acorn]

Sometimes Cytek is dumb

[whole furnace]

Triple blades that fans

[astral moss]

Like you need to know exactly where the guy is and how the bounce work.

Its not like before when the blade would aim for you.

[raven totem]

kinda related but I think a new point system for winning with bounty like whityy said would be cool

[desert acorn]

I want to do another match before bed. You know, to calm my nerves?

[mortal basin]

Good idea

It would be a shame to not go to bed pissed

[whole furnace]

Yeah seen that, I am a little weary about it tho.

[desert acorn]

I guess the quality of my sleep depends on if we win.

fmj with dualies is broken

[raven totem]

those are bad odds to play

[desert acorn]

Fmj Avto!

[desert acorn]

I've won most matches the past week

[mortal basin]

Make it scarce, and I'm in

[dawn zinc]

I really loved that idea. More incentive to fight for the bounty is good

I'm tired of people being more interested in the central compound than the bounty

[raven totem]

it's clear crytek doesn't want to touch econ to much right now

at least as far as hunt dollars are concerned

[mortal basin]

Additional bounty incentive might be cool

[raven totem]

anyone remember the great hunt depression near the centepede event?

[desert acorn]

This has been my loadout all week

[raven totem]

I want to know the data they say and didn't like so much from that

becaUSE THEY PULLED OFF OF THAT PRETTY FAST

[whole furnace]

Think I like the whityy's idea as base, but god not to exchange for scarce ammo and whatnot.
Scarce ammo system is already shitty as it is.

[astral moss]

No vigilant.

[desert acorn]

Vigilant or magpie. I want the bounty

Vigilant is a great trait, but magpie is an irreplaceable bonus.

[raven totem]

scarce weapons are cool, not a huge fan of the way scarce ammo is implimented

[dawn zinc]

What do you mean?

[raven totem]

it's just so much rng

[wheat pilot]

I can't remember the last time I used scarce ammo on something

[raven totem]

so near the centepede event crytek ncut down on a lot of money sources and cut out wild card, everyone was going broke.

[desert acorn]

That's the point. Some people farm it, most ignore it.

[raven totem]

it was a really interesting bit

it didn't last very long though

[inland stump]

If I play solo and take my time, I wouldn't mind looking for scarce ammo

but usually have no time to look for shit on trios

[whole furnace]

I can agree with that much, wouldn't mind testing the idea that weapons like Shredder, Nitro, Avto, Wildlands, Dolch and Homestead was traded for bounty tokens.
Could even be a simple system of 1 token = 1 slot size, so bringing in a Nitro would cost three bounty tokens.
And all conisidered that kinda goes 1 to 1 of the money yield from bounty tokens.

[raven totem]

we both know that math wise that just means people spam dolch option

[dawn zinc]

I really don't remember that at all

[raven totem]

just value per slot

in that system suggested

[desert acorn]

been playing bow so much, I kind of forgot how to get head shots.

[raven totem]

it was short lived

[whole furnace]

Eeeeeh, don't mind that all too much.
But yeah, might need to be individual priced.

[normal kayak]

if you buy 1 dolch make the next dolch cost 100k until you use/sell/discard the other you bought so it becomes stupidly difficult to run dual dolch

i HATE dolch

[whole furnace]

Also then it can be the seasonal test run of buffing all the "meme weapons" and let people realized that weapons like Nitro and Avto is nerfed to meme status for a reason lmao.

[normal kayak]

make dolch do 1 damage

[small hearth]

If you kill someone with dolch it bans your account

[normal kayak]

it should

[raven totem]

play some officer

[normal kayak]

you can get your account back but youre only able to use starshell until you get 10 kills with it

[dawn zinc]

Nitro should down the user on each shot

[normal kayak]

i have played officer

[dawn zinc]

Crown and cringe should have an rng chance of exploding

[desert acorn]

I hope the day comes when I can land one of these in a match

[normal kayak]

tbf nitro isnt even that bad to deal with

its hard to use in close range cause of that dogshit sight

[dawn zinc]

It isn't but I still hate it and want users to suffer

[mortal basin]

They should just make Mosin and Dolch scarce, but have them not spawn in

[small hearth]

Idk nitros kinda annoying when you run into it randomly

[mortal basin]

Then once everyone spams Lebel, we can add Lebel

[astral moss]

Imagine you die by nitro in big 2026.

[small hearth]

Aw geez my lungs are now outside my body

[whole mist]

https://tenor.com/view/neiro-neiro-ethereum-ethereum-eth-kabosu-gif-5701493467398586485

[mortal basin]

Hop on

[small hearth]

Its not that bad now that the 80m shredder 1 shot is gone

[worthy hound]

I played a bunch of solo bunty clash and observe that i always play against solo in a lobby of 5. Was i lucky or is it the new solo bunty clash rules ?

[dawn zinc]

Just make everything besides frontier and conversion scarce

[whole mist]

havent played since LAST YEAR

[astral moss]

14 day without hunt, but how did you ?

[whole mist]

also, this is still the coolest wallpaper. Default is buns

[mortal basin]

They don't because I don't

[small hearth]

Take it as a compliment lol

[whole furnace]

Hunt community is some the worst at admitting they played badly

[astral moss]

People really like to cope in this game.

[whole furnace]

Sorry, but you are wrong uwu

[small hearth]

I just find it really funny

[whole mist]

lmao

[ionic flicker]

I see it now lol

[whole furnace]

(The full piece)

[dawn zinc]

If I miss 5 shots and get headshot in return then I know they are cheating

[desert acorn]

Short, and a little less than short range

[ionic flicker]

Can you send the full picture pls

[desert acorn]

We were discussing the shredder's "abilities"

[whole mist]

it's not my own art, so i wasnt going to post it in #media

[ionic flicker]

fire image tho

thx

[whole mist]

ye

[dawn zinc]

People really choose the dumbest locations to fight from and cry when they cant be rezzed lol

[desert acorn]

I had to have a talk with two of my friends. They would get themselves killed nowhere near cover, and then yell at me because I was taking too long to ress them.

I finally said "Look, if you want to respawn immediately, play Battlefield. If you want to have a chance at winning at hunt, let me make it clear, so I can get you up without us both dying.

[ionic flicker]

Maybe you should have gone to revive them and let them kill you so they would understand this is not battlefield 6

[astral moss]

Then they quit cause they were dead for 20min long.

[ionic flicker]

"Yeah, I'll revive you without coverage or cleaning the site"

[desert acorn]

"Come stand where I just died and don't move for 3 seconds, while making a very recognizable sound that can be heard surpisingly far away!"

[dawn zinc]

Dude just expected me to climb up testimonial church tower to rez with a trio ready to push us lol

[desert acorn]

Since they stopped whining at me, I clutch way more often.

[dawn zinc]

after I already burnt necro on him dying out in the open yard

[desert acorn]

My one friend went afk, and I revived in seconds after he fell. He was on fire, and burned out completely while he stood there, afk

I laughed about this earlier. Someone sent me a gif.

I also laughed about a kill my friend got. I was down, and he was 1v1. Dude went for a cqc beetle play

The OTHER dude

"Hey, friend... you hear that noise? That's a beetle. You know what that means he's doing 10 meters away from you on the other side of that rock?"

[normal kayak]

picked up a mosin bayonet

forgot i had a bayonet

shanked the immolater

cant necro because i shanked the immolater

[mortal basin]

Typically not something you really want to do

[normal kayak]

i was doing SO WELL

[mortal basin]

Wdym you can't necro?

[desert acorn]

He burned out

necro in the fire if you have to, and run out of it

Anyone here take salveskin?

[normal kayak]

so someone had already placed some traps and i was running away from a trio

i was already burned a bit

and by the time i died i had already burned like everything

my stam shot ran out as i shanked the immolater

so i was doing no damage

[wheat pilot]

I used to always pick it on fresh hunters but I prefer greyhound nowadays

[normal kayak]

i wouldve had pennyshot but i just prestiged

[desert acorn]

Take it in a shotgun

I think lemats get it. Choke bombs kill immolators. Knucks

[normal kayak]

im not gonna throw away a weapon slot for that

im just going to manage my stims better next time

or not run into every trap that gets placed

didnt know choke bombs could help tho thank you

[desert acorn]

Pennyshot for shotgun is a good option overall

[mortal basin]

Pennyshot derringer is also very strong

[desert acorn]

Crushes bosses, has more rounds, larger ohk hitbox

[desert acorn]

he said he just prestiged.

[normal kayak]

im normally using that yeah

[desert acorn]

I always take dedicated blunt weapon. Rifle butt just doesn't cut it. Immolators can ruin your day if you don't take them down quickly, or get too hurt. I have gotten many kills from following the immolator's scream

Unless I have pennyshot derringer. but I prestige often.

[normal kayak]

ill probably just unlock officer brawler tbh

it wont take long and its pretty neat

[mortal basin]

Some nice skins for it too, I think

[wheat pilot]

Me and my friend got chased by 3 immolators at once recently

i didnt know so many can spawn next to each other

we ended up climbing on top of a railroad car and just blasting them with a shotgun

[untold stag]

Don’t they like, become weakened by walking through water so they can’t do their explode attack thing

[normal kayak]

yes

you can also throw water bottles at them, or heavy rain can do it

[untold stag]

i always keep ol reliable knuckle knife on me

[mortal basin]

It's been so long since I ran knuckle knife 💔

[wheat pilot]

The spear is just too good to pick any other melee tool imo

[mortal basin]

I've been using throwing axes, actually

The new skin is just too good

Otherwise, yeah. Spear is pretty insane

[wheat pilot]

Watchmans arm is one of the best skins in the game imo

[whole mist]

i like death sentence

[mortal basin]

I like whatever the new throwing axe skin is called

[dawn zinc]

Team mate takes bounty, zero comms. Dies, mic suddenly starts working. Classic randoms

[mortal basin]

Comms actually increase in quality when you die

Lower work load

💯

[stoic basalt]

is there no badges for axe and hammer?

[desert acorn]

Just watched honest trailers for Tombstone... and holy crap, Hunt has invaded my brain. Fanning, shotguns at OHK range, dual wielded pistols... my brain is filtering the movie through the game.

[wheat pilot]

The r6 siege syndrome. Your teammates are incapable of speech until they die, at which point they cannot stop talking and also would win the round if they were in your place.

[astral moss]

No.

[stoic basalt]

im currently trying to max out all throwing tools badges, and holy god, axes are the worst for pvp

[mortal basin]

They're much worse than they need to be

I've gotten like 3 kills with them since I've swapped 😂

The amount of spread they have is diabolical

[wheat pilot]

The fact that they have spread is the one thing that kills them for me

[stoic basalt]

knifes oneshots in chest close range, and axe is just so random and slow

[mortal basin]

SO slow

They just need better spread

They have the worst spread to balance out the fact that they also have the worst throwing animation and also the worst speed

If you really think about it

[wheat pilot]

I don't want my precious spear to be nerfed but I don't get why they think the spear should have perfect accuracy but throwing the axes is basically gambling

[stoic basalt]

wasnt it already nerfed

used to OHK in any part

[mortal basin]

It was comically OP on launch

Now it's just regular Op

[wheat pilot]

It was but it's still not worth taking any other melee tool imo

[stoic basalt]

and now idk, yesterday hit dude in lower torso, did like -140hp

[astral moss]

Spear got nerfed but its still the best melee tool in the game.

[stoic basalt]

some aerodynamics and shi, dunno man

[wheat pilot]

I remember running this loadout with my friend a while ago

[stoic basalt]

probably same reason why Nitro now goes randomly after some distance

cuz devs are goofy

[stoic basalt]

literally my loadout now

but medkit in first slot XD

[astral moss]

Who need medkit even.

[stoic basalt]

i also like owl tbh, helps a lot to stealth in buildings while swapping

forgor the perk name

[raven totem]

WHISPER SMITH

[tribal linden]

just prestiged for the first time after being lvl 100 for like weeks, I'm not sure if it was worth it

[raven totem]

imo whisper smith is good for two things, firebombs, and bomb lance

[astral moss]

[stoic basalt]

it stops being worth after 10 prestige imo

[whole furnace]

First 20 pretiges are worth it at least

[astral moss]

And even for bomb lance its useless.

[stoic basalt]

does it affects martialist btw?

never wondered

[astral moss]

Does martialist even do noise ?

[mortal basin]

Nope

[stoic basalt]

haven`t used it for a while, dont remember

[mortal basin]

Just the post swing noise

[desert acorn]

You can get a whole lot of bbs from prestiging. 100 every prestige for 9 out of my 10 next levels. And there are some cool skins in the mix.

[wheat pilot]

I like prestiging, it diversified the weapons and loadouts I use

[desert acorn]

I would likely still be awful at the game if I didn't prestige.

[wheat pilot]

If it wasn't for prestige I would probably only run spear+flare gun+pennyringer+medkit and no other tools

[stoic basalt]

damn, why only spear has unique badge changes. Not fair

[wheat pilot]

prestige actually makes me try different things

[astral moss]

• avto obviously.

temp ban

there's a ton of stuff

good to hear it's not a perma ban for you though

[desert vine]

For no reason, inexplicably, it's making me very angry right now.

I really like this game. I've played it for 1,500 hours over the past six months.

[raven totem]

that's a lot of time

around 60h a week iirc

[desert vine]

yeap

[raven totem]

where you stream sniping, teaming with anyone bug abusing?

did you do ladder exploit?

was there voip abuse?

those are all the largest temp ban reason I can think of, other than team killing

crytek doesn't ban willy nilly, there was very very likely somethin, especially if it wasn't a false posative perma

[opal dawn]

Wow, you made him tuck tail and run

[desert vine]

I have encountered many players blatantly cheating who still haven't been punished.

[mortal basin]

None of us know anything about you, or your ban. You're gonna have to take it up with customer support if you want answers

[desert vine]

It takes two days to reply

I just need a reason

[opal dawn]

In two days you'll get it

[mortal basin]

I assure you that none of us have it

[wheat pilot]

Why do you expect random people in a discord channel to tell you why you were banned lol

We have no idea

[desert vine]

Because I think there might be Crytek staff here

[raven totem]

even if they where, they wouldn't just openly talk about it. we can shoot speculative reasons

[opal dawn]

And not all staff has access to all information at any given time

That'd be a gdpr violation

[desert vine]

There's nothing that can't be discussed. I wasn't cheating, and I didn't team up with anyone who was.

[opal dawn]

Then there's still a myriad of reasons one can get a temp ban that's not been mentioned here

[raven totem]

again, nothing any of us can do here, all there is, is wait for support to respond

Crytek (and pretty much any other company) won't discuss individual bans with individual users in a public discord channel

That just doesn't happen anywhere in any game

yea 200m subsonic kill 🤫

luckiest shot ever :pp

[astral moss]

Litterally 1sec after the shoot.

[bright girder]

I snipe like once per update so don't make any assumptions!!! but I do have a lot of fun whenever I do even if I don't win v often

[raven totem]

I've not changed my wallpaper in years

[normal kayak]

honestly i think the only time its really a loser move to snipe is sniping to third party

because if you just start sniping people you have to immediately kill them all or they can get cover and push you from that

[bright girder]

well tbf that is by far the strongest way to snipe

[normal kayak]

it is and its annoying

[bright girder]

it is very annoying

[normal kayak]

can be having a fun fight just to die from some dude sitting on his ass 200m away

[bright girder]

but if I'm sniping :p I am absolutely aiming to do that

[normal kayak]

subsonic i cant even blame you for

like even if you third party thats just impressive

[small cloak]

Why were all my settings resetted?

[bright girder]

tbf I'm doing this for subsonic damage and didn't feel like levering in clash

[normal kayak]

fair

[bright girder]

weekly challenge 😔 I've never gotten subsonic as a challenge before lol

[normal kayak]

lowk would terrorise someone with a supressed bornheim subsonic

people get confused on whats happening even when youre like 30m away

[bright girder]

literally yeah

[normal kayak]

you have to lead a shitload but its funny

[bright girder]

I've never actually used it

bornheim is one of the last guns I have yet to use at all

[normal kayak]

bornheim is fun i like using it

its not particularly good or anything but its fun

[bright girder]

I had a bad exp right when i started playing so I always avoided it

but I'm way better now so weh I'd be able to handle it

[autumn abyss]

Dear CrapTek, why does bounty clash switch back to bounty hunt when we return to the main menu, randomly, secretly, for no reason?

Kind regards,

[bright girder]

might actually do this though, maynard is sloww to get 1000 damage tbh its so situational it feels like to make use of subsonic

3 games in a row there was no one to third party 😔😔😔

i havent really been there so i wouldnt know about hunts subreddit but theres alot of subreddits where people can banned for voicing an opinion that the mods dont like lmao

not saying he didnt do anything bad just something to consider

[raven totem]

I'm aware, hunts reddit is decenlty moderated, but has similar rules to hear, with the largest one that some people don't have the capacity to understand is name and shame

[fathom shale]

I don't think the hunt reddit sub has a rule for that

[raven totem]

I thought it did

rule 6

no cheat grief accusations bla bla bla

[normal kayak]

that rule does exist

im not sure exactly what he did to do blasphemy toward crytek tbf

[whole furnace]

Craptek how is the company ever gonna recover from this?!

[normal kayak]

its possible he posted an unauthorized "find the headsman" post

thats a rule that exists

headsman cant have been that bad bro

[raven totem]

so thats a common cop out to getting slapped on the wrist about screaming about certain nationalities.

[normal kayak]

!!!!

didnt know that one

[raven totem]

1:1

"those gawd darm mogrolians" "what do you mean I can't say that, can't take criticism eh crytek?"

[fathom shale]

Huh, I remember that being a difference between our discord and the sub in the past, either somehow misremembering or they added that later

[raven totem]

I'm not super big on reddit, would have to ask snowy next time he's on

[fathom shale]

And that later could very well be 2 years ago according to the rule lol

[raven totem]

speak of the devil lol

[fathom shale]

Asked Szkieletor and apparently they've had in for a really long time already

Maybe I just missed it because of the wording of the rule not directly saying naming & shaming like we do

I blame Snowy

[raven totem]

can't believe that guy sheesh

[opal dawn]

It's always wise to blame snowy

[acoustic imp]

i'm so done

[wheat pilot]

Doesn't it have the 2nd tightest spread after romero?

[round nova]

and still the worst gun

crazy right

[wheat pilot]

I haven't used it much but looking at the stats I always assumed it's decent

[round nova]

it just feels clunky

[mortal basin]

Specter is a monster right now tbh

[round nova]

and not a bow

and the "bulletgrubber" sucks

[wheat pilot]

Looking at the stats, it seems like a better slate that's also cheaper

Other than the reload

[normal kayak]

its a gun that deals damage youll be fine

[round nova]

but i prefer not gun

i hope your next quest asks you to use starshell

Specter is just less forgiving. The tighter spread is great and all, but you can't miss at all

[rocky citrus]

Guys HUNT currently has 33,414 concurrent players on Steam, and the servers are overloaded. Please, Crytek, add more servers for the game! My gaming experience is terrible right now; the ping is extremely high and there's constant packet loss.

[wooden oriole]

@astral moss teehee

[frigid ibex]

Now play 2 lemats in shotgun

[astral moss]

2 shotgun.

[wooden oriole]

sounds like a regional problem

Crytek's China Hong Kong servers for HUNT are terrible.

[astral moss]

All server got problem those day.

[dawn zinc]

EU is great

No problems

Can we buff incendiary ammo by making hunters who are on fire scream like the grunts do

hunters also scream when they die

I want hunters who are on fire to scream that way

I don't understand why Crytek has implemented region restrictions for players with high ping. I want to know if Crytek can solve the problems of frequent packet loss and high ping.
OMG🙃

[dawn zinc]

Buff poison by making hunters who get poisoned puke every now and then too

[opal dawn]

They tried that and disabled it

They basically put high ping players in their own lobbies

[dawn zinc]

Region restriction was such a nice time. I get why its better without it but I really enjoyed the game when it was turned on

[dawn zinc]

I definitely noticed

or it was pure coincidence

[opal dawn]

Eh, I doubt it was a coincidence tbh

[rocky citrus]

Damn
I believe they should use better servers and add more servers in different regions, such as Hong Kong, to address the high ping and severe packet loss issues for Asian players.

[opal dawn]

More servers would be nice

[rocky citrus]

Maybe optimizing server stability could resolve the current issue.

(pump penumatic gun from metro)

so it'll probably be a silent rifle

[astral moss]

Sadly it will be a scarce weapon.

[untold stag]

Might be a good thing depending on how good it is

[tall canopy]

we dont know yet

or wait

[astral moss]

It was said on the roadmap.

[tall canopy]

did they tell in the dev blog?

i forgor

[jaunty patio]

It's a flamethrower, previous hints about the upcoming scarce weapon have all been fire related

[untold stag]

flamethrower

[tall canopy]

what if waterthrower

[tranquil sail]

What if lightning gun

[untold stag]

where's my bee launcher

[tall canopy]

guess new scarce weapon

[astral moss]

idk but the idea of a flame thrower look like it will be either op af or completely useless.

[untold stag]

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing

[tranquil sail]

miss the first shot
instantly melt

[untold stag]

might be more utility oriented

[tranquil sail]

Hunt never changes

[night ferry]

it reminded me of this

[tall canopy]

tbh i think it will be like the shredder, ull see it in every match for the first 1-2 weeks and then it vanishes. unless its broken af

[night ferry]

from a upcoming videogame

dunno what is that

[untold stag]

hunt looking a little weird here

[night ferry]

that's not hunt

clockwork revolution

[untold stag]

(joke cause it looks crazy similar with the style, especially the lighting)

[astral moss]

Why scarce weapon if its not even as good as top tier weapon.

Like i don't see the utility of that.

[tall canopy]

flamethrower should be an anti ai weapon that u can use to block enemies

[jaunty patio]

Probably cause it'd be a nuisance if it was purchasable

[astral moss]

You add new weapon that people can't play when they want.

[untold stag]

you're telling me you don't want 16 players running flamethrowers?

[tall canopy]

u cant make a strong flamethrower in hunt

[astral moss]

Shredder is fine right now.

Like yeah scarce it to have stats to balance the weapon i can understand.

But after a while you can just make it buyable.

[untold stag]

the flamethrower will never be as cool as the hand crossbow dragonbolts

[bold blaze]

So i just used the hangman card and i saw the player with 24 seconds of darksight boost, while no bosses were killed yet ....

[dawn zinc]

dragonbolts feel broken for me recently

[bold blaze]

Neither did i see anywhere on the map, where it was gained... @_@

[untold stag]

sure it wasn't a visual bug?

wouldn't surprise me

[jaunty patio]

Similar bugs can happen with the proper spectate mechanic

[bold blaze]

I'm never sure if it was a visual bug 😛 could've been

ah ok

[astral moss]

I wont be surprise that the shredder become buyable after event.

Since its the last Post malone event.

[untold stag]

Gonna be honest, I've seen like 2 people use shredder lmao

hardly anyone touches it

[astral moss]

Yeah since the nerf its not worth taking it at the circus.

[untold stag]

wonder how many solos are hoarding it

[astral moss]

If it was buyable i would play it honnestly.

[untold stag]

is there a cap on the scarce weapons like all others?

[mystic mulch]

I have one that I stole off the first guy to ever try killing me with it.

[untold stag]

Where you can only have 2 in inventory (other than storing on hunters)

[mystic mulch]

But that's about it.

[mystic mulch]

I figure it's like cards where it's infinitely stackable.

I've seen people flex stacks of Wildlands I think.

[night ferry]

i'll place my bets with pressure gun

[mystic mulch]

9900% a flamethrower.

[whole furnace]

Dear Crytek

:(
Xoxo - Me

[mystic mulch]

There was a flamethrower in the old "Horrors of the Guilded Age"
version of hunt.

[astral moss]

Specter broken.

[mystic mulch]

From this teaser image you can see that it's built on a Centennial-ish frame.

[night ferry]

where is that from

[mystic mulch]

That Guilded Age flamethrower also had a similar normal levergun stock and receiver frame.

[night ferry]

as in source

[mystic mulch]

Hunt official Twitter.

[jaunty patio]

The second roadmap image, you can find it by scrolling up in #general-announcements

[night ferry]

What's a twitter

[night ferry]

ohhh righttttt

[jaunty patio]

Idk, what's a twitter with you?

[mystic mulch]

I don't know how much we're allowed to talk about the Guilded age version of hunt.

The flamethrower appears in some older promotional art.

circa 2015 ish?

[jaunty patio]

As far as I know we're completely allowed to talk about anything we know about it, since it's all public knowledge. Unless you actually worked on it and signed an NDA or something

[mystic mulch]

Nice.

I grabbed these off some gaming news website.

obviously not the same model.

[night ferry]

oh right prototype

[dense girder]

So some sort of weapon you can pump to increase damage?

[mystic mulch]

But built on a similar design philosophy.

[dense girder]

Like that gun from Metro

[mortal basin]

Maybe it's a pressurized sawblade launcher

Like potato gun, but instead potatoes, saw blades

I bet that's it

[jaunty patio]

Similar concept of a lever action that's been tinkered into a flamethrower but instead of Browning's semi-automatic lever-action modification it seems more like it takes pages from the Cyclone or something along with having more pipes and gauges on it

[mystic mulch]

Some kind of sawblade launcher sounds too silly for hunt.

[night ferry]

yeah i went with that too

[shadow dome]

You're all wrong and here's why.

[dawn zinc]

I dont get why you cant sell traits for the same price you buy them

So annoying to misclick and lose out on a trait point lol

[mystic mulch]

You can but only the 1 costs

[jaunty patio]

🤔 could it actually be gas operated? The pipes on top of the rifle connect with a spring that could be working the bolt

[tall canopy]

i hope its operating with love so i can have unlimited ammo

[jaunty patio]

No matter what it's gonna have to shoot bursts of flame rather than streaks cause the ammo mechanics of Hunt don't facilitate percentage based ammo.

[turbid dock]

Unless they do

Next patch

[tranquil sail]

The spring is in the shape of a infinity symbol

[night ferry]

inferno news on 7th

[turbid dock]

I would want a flamethrower to be a single-shot burst with some sort of cocking or reloading between bursts though, with two bursts being enough to kill a player, to keep it in line with other weapons

[jaunty patio]

Anything's possible but I don't think they'll want to go the extra step for all the damage mechanics, ammo mechanics and UI changes involved when they can just have it use the usual pip ammo counter.

[spark plaza]

amogus

[tall canopy]

inferno is mentioned nowhere on the roadmap or the dev posts

[jaunty patio]

It's on the first roadmap

[tall canopy]

but on the roadmap for this event

also the scooter files dont count

[night ferry]

im sure it is but some elaboration as where it is and when do we expect it

[tall canopy]

okay that sounds like they were near finishing it nvm then

[untold stag]

have to burn them sadly

[mortal basin]

You can if you burn them out

[jaunty patio]

Nope, you gotta wait for them to return or burn em

[bold blaze]

☠️

[wheat pilot]

jesus

[dawn zinc]

just had a text book example of how to throw a 3vs1 in randoms. I have no idea why some people can't just play together instead of pushing 1 at a time

[normal radish]

didnt they make peace already?

[normal kayak]

im pretty sure they tried to and like nothing happened

[wooden oriole]

I mean 3v1s are light work

[normal radish]

thats sad and disappointing...i hope they do

[wooden oriole]

Sorry I mean 1v3s

[normal radish]

1v3s are lightwork buddy yes, with cheats. or against bots

or against throwers

[dawn zinc]

3 vs 1 should be a pretty clear cut win in 6*

[normal kayak]

i think theyre trying again to make a deal for peace so hopefully

[wooden oriole]

Eh if mmr 6 players are bots I suppose so

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-jerry-laughing-3amskypecall-gif-1225091949170588240

[normal radish]

i wish them the best

[dawn zinc]

But when the team mates aren't even communicating and just playing by themselves you witness how easy it is to throw

[wooden oriole]

I’m mmr 6 winning 1v3s lad ain’t difficult

[normal radish]

ye ye ye okay

[dawn zinc]

I mean a 1vs3 is easy to win if you come up against a team like my previous team

[wooden oriole]

@normal radish

[normal radish]

your kd is at least 3 then

show me

[trail spade]

1vs3 is easy just hop in your Leopard2A7V and shoot the main gun

[dawn zinc]

I think since we can choose any region to play on Crytek need to come up with a universal comms system

Not that half the players would pay attention to it anyways

[wooden oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrasad-gif-23310565

[trail spade]

Blow a 120mm hole through the first man hes dead on the spot..

[normal radish]

1v3s are light work and you can easily do it right?

[wooden oriole]

Me with my 500 nitro

[normal radish]

it means you have AT LEAST 3 kd

since you breeez through them

[trail spade]

He has 30 kd

[normal radish]

[normal radish]

cmon man show us the kd proof

the kd matters HERE because you claimed 1v3s in the supposed 6 star are a breez

[trail spade]

He is just that good you dont understand

Its him John Hunt

[normal radish]

i bet he is 6 personal and 3 match mmr

and he thinks he is the actual 6 bracket

[trail spade]

Yeah I was going to say that lmao

[wooden oriole]

Is the game really that hard for you

Sorry I’m better, I will suck ass so you can be above me sweetie

[thin fossil]

733m, my 2 star brother, dont know how it happened

[normal kayak]

why the second kill genuinely missing headphones

[wooden oriole]

Idk lol, the first poor bastard I killed 3 times, just the first one wasn’t in that clip

[trail spade]

Traps

Bullet despawns after 500

[normal kayak]

actual strange individuals

[normal kayak]

that cant be real

[wooden oriole]

Yea, last guy I baited and it worked

[normal kayak]

why on earth would they do that

[trail spade]

Idk

That is what everyone is saying tho, bullet despawns after 500

[normal kayak]

that makes no sense

[fair stag]

It used to be lower than that pre-1896 apparently

[acoustic imp]

compact and medium do

yeah

thats right

pretty sure long is 750 or 1k

cant remember exactly

[trail spade]

Nobody is killing anyone at those ranges

Nobody legit at least

[acoustic imp]

ive seen 500+

[jaunty patio]

500+ ranges on the longest kill is done with traps

[normal radish]

proof or be quiet kiddo (respecfully)

[trail spade]

He does solo vs 3* bro for sure xD

[jaunty patio]

Bullets do indeed despawn at 500m. Previously, before 2.0, Compact would despawn at 300, Medium at 350, and Long at 500

[normal kayak]

peculiar

[trail spade]

Highly doubt that you did

[fair stag]

Idk what the drama is but a 2min30 clip of 3 lemat shotgun kills from holding angles isn't a high 6 thing imo

[trail spade]

Interesting opinion but I will refrain from acknowledging you because I have reduced you to a KDA number you have yet to post

[normal kayak]

💀

[fair stag]

I'm a 2.73, I dont like to post my number since I dont really care

Too many kills now for it to consistently go up anymore

[wooden oriole]

You forgot about the flying part smh

[fair stag]

That was impressive

[wooden oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrasad-gif-23310565

[trail spade]

Cornpop ! <3

[normal radish]

imma put my clip and this is an average gameplay. i do get 1v3s times enough, but i never say 1v3 is a breeze, its actually really hard

[trail spade]

You leave nitro users out of this

[wooden oriole]

This guys a sigma

[trail spade]

They cant cheat they are too mentally deficient to cheat !

[wooden oriole]

See lightwork

[mental pine]

if u geta kill whit a spear you get the spear back?

[normal radish]

this isnt light, im actively using my game knowledge and putting myself at danger, any of those encounters could have ended me

[glacial dove]

So, Michael's great great grandfather was a hunter.

[normal radish]

yeh pull it from their carcass

[wooden oriole]

Yea don’t care

[trail spade]

Blademancer

[normal kayak]

1v3s are lightwork

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-jerry-laughing-3amskypecall-gif-1225091949170588240

[trail spade]

It wont matter tbh he has to like kill everyone in 1 sec for anyone to report him

And it will take 6 months to ban

Lol

[wooden oriole]

Sounds like a sigma

[trail spade]

Then check back in 6 months see if he has a gameban LMAO
