hunt-general

[crystal bay]

heck yeah, you got this then

[acoustic gorge]

way to many things to do tho !!!

[crystal bay]

When is it due?

That's fair

[acoustic gorge]

in about 2 months !

[earnest spire]

is crytek ok ? first uppercut chain then the flame rifle ???

[acoustic gorge]

uppercut chain ???????

[atomic coral]

I'm sorry, what uppercut chain?!

[earnest spire]

well you will see when they post man

you will see

[bright girder]

Godlike troll

[acoustic gorge]

the flame rifle is a 5th of january fool !

[frigid kestrel]

New semi auto to hunt add it now
Clearly a joke

Ive ran into 4 total cheaters in 1.2k hours

1, one off solo when i first start

And a team if three with avtomats only headshotting

Ran into three times that night

Walling and headshotting us

Shooting through walls, despite us making no noise

[desert acorn]

After watching that trailer I have one thing to say ... Rat Burgers

[light sky]

huh

[acoustic gorge]

exactly out of my 1.8k hours i only ran into 2 confirmed cheaters !

you know that type that kills you across 4 compounds

[frigid kestrel]

Yeah exactly lmfao

[atomic coral]

I've seen one with a romero who snapped to other teams across the map as they ADSed, and that was 3 years ago

[frigid kestrel]

Yea

They exist but the community is so small cheating is almost non existent

[cobalt edge]

Cheaters should be shamed by Crytek. Crytek should put Steam names on their website on a shame page.

[acoustic gorge]

why do all that when they can ban them without giving them any exposure

[atomic coral]

Won't matter to the few repeat cheaters who keep buying new accounts

[earnest spire]

well i think is cool

[unique trail]

Got 4 kills

[acoustic gorge]

good job

[unique trail]

Thank you I needed it

Lmao was so frustrating and was even ranting before first kill

[atomic coral]

Do you joke about having cheats in your bio becasue you think it's cool?

[earnest spire]

nah is just for fun

[unique trail]

4 kills and 2 kill assists. 6 hunter kills for the team

[frigid kestrel]

What does thinking a semi auto gun is cool
Have to do with cheating

[unique trail]

Just been on a bad streak losing a lot of winnable battles

Missed shots, bs AI etc

So felt good to finally win one. And we were pressed too. First team wiped they had the jump on us. 2nd team wiped they had the bounty token

Teammate had a mic and actually used it. And helped me as he was spectating my screen lol

[rocky mirage]

new to the game. abseloutley slammed somone went to loot thier body then they got up and killed me... is this a trait or sum>?

[hardy coral]

Solos can rez themselves once with the trait necromancer to full health

[jaunty patio]

If you kill a solo, always burn their body and watch them until they stop burning, ready to kill em quick if they try to stand up. Either a shotgun or melee is most reliable.

[hardy coral]

Every day I play hunt i teeter between never wanting to play again and feeling like this is the best game ever.

[late quiver]

So the new weapon is coming Wednesday?

[mortal basin]

Dev stream on Wednesday. I'm sure they'll let us know then

[frigid kestrel]

What

This isnt google buddy

Fish react him!!!!

[hardy coral]

ban dis mf

[frank brook]

they got hacked

not their fault

i know this for experience

its a bot that spams scams in all servers

[hardy coral]

got it

[frank brook]

i mean it is their fault cuz they touched sus links

so

[unique trail]

Probably next event
The live stream is Wednesday

[frank brook]

i sometimes wonder, am i lucky? am i a good player? or do i get paired with bad enemies? because sometimes i dont even know how i got out of certain situations

also do people use poltergeist trait or am i the only weirdo

[quaint spindle]

Whew after those last 3 matches im back in 5*... I just got farmed

I forgot to take the magnets off my head before logging in

[plush tree]

dudeeee i just watched a cheater get banned in real time

glorious

[bold blaze]

Thats awesome! 😄

And i just killed a smack talker 😄 Best kills ever

[unique trail]

Damn we staked out bounty team. I killed one and my teammates died. Traded kills with another.

Post game I find out it was a duo rip

💀

There was a trios and a solo left on the map, plus the circus bounty

Folks im 3/4 done with daily dark tribute

[mortal basin]

Roughly 1/4 left, I'd say

[glad canopy]

New pc, runs 80 fps on ultra when I was getting 20 on my laptop on low 😭

[foggy imp]

Oh boy oh boy gentalman. After my PSU decided to kill itself I am finally back in the game. Now to find out if any of the components where damaged by a failing PSU. Also thankfully the PSU I went with came with a 10 year warranty.

[unique trail]

Clear communication throughout. Letting team know about my health and status. I die to boss. Somehow miss restoration. While waiting for boss to finish banishing I explain my next moves and reason (2 downed teammates so lower health). Want to do fast extract to near.

[glad canopy]

Haha psu go boom boom boom

[unique trail]

Teammate doesn't go while me and the other guy are running. Gets killed

Then finally unmutes while we are at extract to call us [REDACTED]

Bro come on

[foggy imp]

The upsetting part is it's a platinum PSU, so I didn't cheap out when getting it. But my old PSU from like 10 years ago that is a 750 watt paired with a old 1080 is still going and kicking ass.

[glad canopy]

I kinda cheaped out on mine it’s a 750

[foggy imp]

Also the old one I think is still a gold one. Which I don't think I would want to technically go any lower as a general rule of thumb.

[foggy imp]

I guess technically the watt's don't matter, mostly it matters what the rating is. But even still a lower rated PSU held up longer than a much nicer one. Damn thin only lasted like 4 of the 10 years it was supposed to.

[glad canopy]

Pretty sure mines gold

[foggy imp]

https://tenor.com/view/wack-thatswack-hannibal-burress-ericandreshow-gif-20565184

[foggy imp]

Ya gold is the standard for PC building as far as I have ever heard. Also a PSU dying isn't all that common. I was actually more convinced that my breaker was tripping over the PSU dying. But maybe that was just cope as I began realizing I would be out of gaming for a while before I then realized this thing had a warranty that should still be active.

[hardy coral]

Can anyone find the Jesse Buchanan in this picture?

Anyways all im saying is if you only talk after you die then you deserve your skid marks in your underwear

[mortal cove]

Now turn object quality, Shadow Quality and Fog Quality from Ultra to Very High and get an easy 40% performance uplift for free

So you get >110fps instead

[glad canopy]

i was just doing for shits and giggles

[mortal cove]

Yeah, I just wanted to give you the recommendation where you get most of the avaible performance :p

[median zinc]

day 1 of me complaining about explosive expert badge until they fix it because i want the drip

[mortal cove]

The additional performance scaling from there is rather bad, especially for the fidelity drop

[glad canopy]

i run all low exept for object and texture quality. and some others on medium

really anything is gonna be a upgrade lol

[median zinc]

Name change for good measure

[glad canopy]

games beautiful tho, water is really cool ive never seen good water quality yet in this game

[mortal cove]

Well, my experience for performance scaling is as such starting from Ultra as the baseline:

Object Quality, Shadow Quality, Fog Quality from Ultra to Very High -> +40%

Shadow Quality, Fog Quality, Lighting and Global Illumination to High -> +10-15%

Object Quality, Shadow Quality, Fog Quality to Medium -> +10%

Everything else if you aren't VRAM or CPU limited makes next to no performance difference.

The performance scaling just falls off pretty hard for pretty strong visual reductions.

4K Ultra 2TX SMAA on my 5090 running at 2.2GHz.

[median zinc]

Pretty

[mortal cove]

4K with Object Quality, Shadow Quality and Fog Quality turned down to Very High

[median zinc]

How do I fix the "decals" glitching in and out at the circus? is it a setting issue if you have it too low?

[mortal cove]

41% performance uplift

4K Object Quality Very High, Lighting Quality, Global Illumination Quality, Shadow QUality, Fog Quality High

Another 27% performance uplift

Or a 79.5% total uplift from Ultra settings

From here on out though the game doesn't have much to give
4K Lighting Quality, Global Illumination Quality High, Object Quality, Shadow Quality, Fog Quality Medium

[whole furnace]

Cannot wait for the Flamerthrower to drop, it being strong enough for making Salveskin mandatory and then the very next patch Crytek increasing Salveskin's cost froom 3 -> 5 due too high pickrates lol.

[mortal cove]

Only another 7.4% extra performance

Or 93% performance from Ultra

Issue is that you also start getting into strong diminishing returns on the visuals

[hot mortar]

dual wielding lemats is so strong too, is lemat carbine better than two lemats?

i know its definitely better long range, but the fire rate of two lemats and the 2 slugs u can shoot seems busted

[median zinc]

bring carbine + lemat sidearm

it's fun

[hot mortar]

that defeats the point of the wild fire rate 2 lemats have tho

[humble atlas]

lemat carbine plus lemat dualies in one loadout, LeLeLeMat, fun loadout

[median zinc]

true

[humble atlas]

fmj on all, send a wall of bullets thru walls, pop heads at mid range, and have 3 shotgun shells to kill anyone who gets too close for the dual fmj spam, or to get instakills when you know where someone will push from

lemat dualies isnt that crazy tho in my experience, good, but not all that accurate, i like them but they dont feel like busted or anything, i think dualies are often just worse then a 2 slot shotgun but depends on what u want em for an what ur bringing, they are fun tho

lemat dualies u kinda get a mix of what dualies are better at and shotguns but it doesnt do either job as good as some other options imo, the lemat is like that in general tho, jack of all trades, master of none, especially the carbine

dual pax trueshots is fun

[whole furnace]

How you gonna hit anything with dual wielding slugs tho?

Also LeMat dualies have "wild fire rate"???

[mystic mulch]

you gotta believe in the heart of the bullet spread

[hot mortar]

its almost the same as one lemat with fanning

[whole furnace]

I doubt that hard.
Also fun fact Dolch dualies have less spread than LeMat dualies

[dapper dagger]

@glacial pagoda wow, you 2 on the roof, holding angles for 20 minutes refusing to push a 2 v 1 is something else

[whole furnace]

That said the cycle rate seems rather high for sure :)

[echo ridge]

hmm

i dont get why i win more with free hunter then paid one

is it my mindset when going in ?

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-think-thinking-gif-4280214517394111861

[mystic mulch]

I get the same thing. It has to be.

[echo ridge]

have nothing to lose ahh mindset

[hot mortar]

maybe other hunters see a free hunter and dont try as hard cuz they underestimate u

[echo ridge]

it Hunt tho , they dont really judge they see and shoot

[toxic girder]

anyone know about any issues with US West or related routing? i normally play from Aus to there with around 150 ping, but right now the ping is much higher... in fact US East has better ping, and is much further away...

[raven totem]

Are you advocating for duel welding lemat slugs?

[mystic mulch]

idk man. Sounds meta to me.

[raven totem]

They are very quick on duel weilding

With the caveat of, being duel wielding

[whole furnace]

Yeeee, just went in and took them for a spin too :)
LeMat sure have a lot of good going on for it :D

[small flare]

guy has not prestiged once y

[elder bridge]

ok so arc raiders made me appreciate hunt showdown

bc the more i play AR the less i enjoy it

[hollow seal]

Arc gunplay does not hit like Hunt gunplay imo

[raven totem]

It sure does, but at the end of the day, duel wielding lol. I might argue best dueling in the game?

[whole furnace]

Dunno, I think I will always love conversion dualies s

[raven totem]

I like both, both are different from any other game out there.

[whole furnace]

how come?

[hollow seal]

Yeah they are both great

[elder bridge]

arc gunplay just feels like youre shooting water guns that have god awful accuracy early on

[hardy coral]

what hunt skin has the most aura and rizz

[elder bridge]

atleast in hunt youre more than capable of knocking down players w better loadouts than you, in arc its a death sentence if a guy w a way better loadout pops up and catches you by surprise

[whole furnace]

The green luigi

[elder bridge]

that and it being a third person shooter kinda kills the fun of ANY gunplay

[fringe bone]

Redneck

[hollow seal]

Need I say more

[whole furnace]

God I miss him

[hardy coral]

My PFP they need to bring her back RIGHT NOW!

[fringe bone]

Sinead o Connor lookin ass

[hot mortar]

the slugs arent whats making dual wielding them good, its the fast fire rate of the fmjs

im not advocating, i was only curious cause lemat carbine is very popular

and why is the carbine better than jsut 2 lemats?

[mystic mulch]

cant even fan the carbine

[whole furnace]

Good cycle rate, low recoil, great MV (for compact), good ammo pool. have shotgun which is relevant in this meta.
Also it is not a "sweat" gun.

[elder bridge]

whats yalls thoughts on the steelbolt crossbow

[raven totem]

Because you can deliberately shoot people in the face with it, thats why.

[whole furnace]

sure is a custom ammo that they added

[raven totem]

Meta power weapon

[elder bridge]

yea they shouldve just made the normal bolts as good as the steelbolt

[raven totem]

I like crossbow, out of hunt problems I feel this is very low on the list

[elder bridge]

i never said it was problematic

i run it almost every game 😭

i just like the quiet takedowns you can do with it and the fact its kinda like a lite slug shotgun

[whole furnace]

Dunno if this would be an interesting enough downside for steel bolt, but wouldn't mind that if steel bolt hit harder surfaces, they would bend and become unusable.
Like not very relevant most of the time, but at least it would feel less "strictly better" than normal bolts.

[elder bridge]

that or let them pierce walls but they become unusable after they pierce a wall

im not a game designer for a reason

that is a terrible idea

[elder bridge]

wasnt the point of steelbolts that theyre supposed to be better in general

crossbow is already severely underused bc nobody likes reloading something thats barely midrange

[whole furnace]

No, they were supposed to be HV option for crossbow, but they did come with the downside/side-grade of less damage.

[elder bridge]

although ill admit that as much as i like steelbolts, i had perfected my ranged shots w normal bolts and the steelbolts getting buffed made it so i HAD to run steel bolts and relearn how to shoot w them

[raven totem]

Looking at other meta picks I won't look a gift horse in the mouth

[elder bridge]

yea which made them go unused

they gave them a hefty buff and their usage skyrocketed im assuming

[mystic mulch]

It's very rare that I see them even when I encounter a crossbow tbh

[elder bridge]

ill admit theyre a weird outlier in terms of ammo types bc theyre just straight up better

unlike bullet types which all have their own pros and cons

[raven totem]

Everyone complained steel bolts where useless on release so crytek buffed them

[dusky topaz]

Anybody feel like hive detection range just got a massive buff recently? All my usual teammates describe the same thing, getting detected far closer as opposed to the usual smaller range

[raven totem]

Because on release they where in fact the inferior option

[whole furnace]

Sure, but there should be some kind of side-grade aspect to it.
Rn it is that your shots have more recoil (for some reason) and 2 less bolts, which is not really enough for the strictly better bolts you get.
I agree, the damage loss was too great of a cost for how little extra MV it gave, hence why I look at other ways to balance them :)

[elder bridge]

yea when they first got added i noticed i wasnt 1 tapping to the chest as often as i used to w base bolts

[raven totem]

Excuse me?

[elder bridge]

made me just use the normal bolts bc those hit like a truck regardless of where you hit your opponent

[whole furnace]

AI aggro persistence have been buffed, that might be what you are feeling :)

[elder bridge]

whats the point of recoil on a weapon that has (1) shot before you have to reload it

[whole furnace]

Absolutely nothing hence why steel bolts are very much just a "strictly better" ammo type lol

[elder bridge]

i dont remember but does crossbow have other ammo types

besides normal and steel

[raven totem]

Looks at the gutting of hv on compact

Explosive and shotbolt

[whole furnace]

Bomba and shotbolt.
But Bomba is scarce and shotbolt is bugged atm lol

[raven totem]

Unscarce Explosive please

[elder bridge]

ive knocked people w shotbolt thru walls before lmao

its such a goated ammo type in some areas

[whole furnace]

It was needed to a degree, but yeah feels a little too much considering HV was just picked to have a fighting chance vs the meta.

[elder bridge]

theres a meta in hunt? no way

[whole furnace]

Schlong ammo

[elder bridge]

interesting

is it mega busted or what

or is it just like slightly better than other ammo types

[whole furnace]

After 2.0 update it got knocked down a little.

But still, it is its own league.

Like you can rate most weapons in Hunt being: C+ to A+ tier.
Long ammo is its own S+ tier.

[elder bridge]

damn

[whole furnace]

Used to be S+++

Again, it is better now, but if all you care about is winning, you pick long ammo

[quiet hinge]

right?

[mystic mulch]

big explosive bolt when

[whole furnace]

Explosion bolt caught strays when frag arrow got gutted lol

Unless it is one of those cases that Explosion bolt ran crazy on console.

in that case

fucking split the balancing

[quiet hinge]

it competed so well vs people holding close angles

i dont even think its scarce anymore

[mystic mulch]

As a console player I can say with genuine certainty that Console players deserve to be exploded.

[quiet hinge]

i think theres a tier above scarce

I'm trying to think of what is even scarce, dum dum ammo is scarce, but its fucking everywhere. I've seen explosive bolt/frag twice in like 500+ games

[whole furnace]

Issue with explosion bolt is that you need to bring in a crossbow to pick up ammo.
And in my experience, people who likes crossbow and people who likes explosive crossbow are often not the same.

[mystic mulch]

yeap

The explosive bolt ammo pickup itself also seems very rare.

[whole furnace]

Think it is scaled in a way of what is most likely relevant for as many weapons as possible.

[mystic mulch]

Since it specifically has to be a bolt type ammo.

[uneven snow]

Not sure if this is the right channel but what is everyone’s headphone/mic situation for Hunt? I have some Bose headphones but they suck for this game and for some reason I can’t adjust individual volume settings, so if I turn chat down in the headphones the game audio turns down too

[whole furnace]

What model? :)

[uneven snow]

https://www.bose.com/p/headphones/quietcomfort-acoustic-noise-cancelling-headphones/QC-HEADPHONEARN.html

[whole furnace]

Are you running them thru an EQ?

Also wired or wireless?

[uneven snow]

I’m not. They’re just connected to my PC with Bluetooth. I’ve been playing with friends on Discord, but any time I adjust the volume for the chat on here it somehow turns my game volume down too, like everything is just tied to a universal volume controller on the headset

[whole furnace]

Well, we can never assume that every game is compatible with every feature a headset provides :)
That said I have little experience with Hunt and how it works with such features.

But just so I get it right, you are only having issue with your volume slider for discord also affects Hunt's audio?
Not any other audio issues with Hunt itself?

[uneven snow]

Well, the audio sounds a little muddy and hard to distinguish which direction sounds are coming from, and that happens whether I have Cryspatial Audio disabled or enabled. The mic on the headphones is also really weak so I think I just need a total upgrade/sidegrade/downgrade to something that is proven to actually work with the game

[whole furnace]

That can be fixed by adjusting your EQ settings somewhat, tho as far I am aware that headset ain't really that great for detailed audio landscapes and more just for music.

Also remember to turn off windows spatial sound

[uneven snow]

I wasn’t even aware windows spatial sound was a thing, so let me look into that

[hardy coral]

I don't mess with any eq settings i just run my headset through a dac

[hot mortar]

can someone whos from a bayou like area satisfy my curiosity and tell me what the hell are these grey mud stumps? is it an anthill? plant/ mushroom? ive never seen something like that irl around swamp areas

[raven totem]

Getting dolch fmj, pfft, cent dum dum? Half the time sitting in a tower, Explosive bolts and not bullet? Good luck

[whole furnace]

cypress knees

It's wood

Or rather roots

[uneven snow]

What headphones and dac do you use?

[fiery ocean]

guys roblox servers are down, i cant play hunt

[mortal cove]

Same

[hardy coral]

Beyer Dynamic MMX 330 Pro with a fosi K7

[hollow seal]

[mortal cove]

That's some nice gear

[twilit rivet]

Waiting for flamethrower healing

They're about to mess up the balance for a bit but they'll learn and tweak hopefully

[raven totem]

Was infernal pact teased or something?

[waxen iris]

Where do I change my menu FPS? I can only find the ingame fps

[tame sundial]

There seriously needs to be a penalty for people who often leave clash/bounty because they can't be bothered to wait even a minute before someone rushes, and risks everything, to revive them. Besides match making being teamed up with people who GET THEMSELVES killed (yeeehaaa Call of Duty baby) and then expect everyone else to jump into line of fire just to revive them makes this game alot less enjoyable. Guy A dies, gets burned, I use choke to stop fire. Guy B also dies, Guy A leaves. As I barely get any seconds to breath from taking care of their miserable arses (stop fire), guy B also leaves.

You can make an exemption for players who choose "Quit game" (from round option) and those who disconnect

But this game is seriously pure trash for constantly rewarding players who leave and dont even wait around

[granite blade]

i mean i definitely dont want to sit here and spectate a bush for the entire match timer

[tame sundial]

Dude I couldnt even play because they got themselves killed. Rest of my time was spent salvaging their failure. And if you want to play Call of Duty, die within two minutes of a round, why bother playing this gaame?

game'

They all left within a minute after I tried to make my play, i.e try to find an opening to go and revive them

thats not the same as waiting around on a bush camper..

[granite blade]

thats literally what clash exists for, the people that do it in bounty hunt just dont care or dont even know about clash

[tame sundial]

1 minute, a player got himself killed

[granite blade]

i mean its clash, its normal to rush the lair

[tame sundial]

I dont mind that, but I think leaving after you die..you fail the whole team

is not normal

if you wait two-three minutes = np

but within a minute of you dying?

[granite blade]

you also have a silencer and are way far back, they likely expect you to staay way far out and never do anything while you wait for the perfect shot or for them to run away with bounty because of this positioning with this weapon

[tame sundial]

lol I bet they didnt even know I had a silencer

[granite blade]

nah they did

randoms size eachother's loadouts up all the time

[tame sundial]

maybe you do but the people I play with dont seem that way

you're just talking about it as if you know but you dont

if they were so tactical

they would use mic to communicate

[granite blade]

i talk to other people that play randoms

[tame sundial]

and one of them did use voice chat

well thats you and your team

now we're talking about those randoms in picture

and you speak of the subject as if you knowi when you dont

"They are tactical they know u got silencer so u keep ur distance"

[granite blade]

did you ask them personally?

[tame sundial]

meanwhile zero voice chat comms despite having comm

[granite blade]

if no, then you dont know either lmao

[tame sundial]

no but if someone doesnt use voice com, even though they say hello, and just rush the bounty

I highly doubt they would be looking at my gear

Well my assumption is more reasonable

a tactical and cooperative player would speak up with voice chat more so than not

yet that guy who said hello never said anything about rushing

and it was you who assumed and spoke of it first

not me

and for your info

there was another team on the outskirt

they came araound, very late after two team mates died

and I got pinched between them and the team that killed my team mates

and rush to die

[granite blade]

the rat out ratted the rat

[tame sundial]

Like the assumption you made, which I pointed out is an assumption, you're also making yet another assumption on my playstyle

anyways back to what I said

people who leave clash or bounty within a minute or two, when their hunter isnt burned out

[twilit rivet]

Best first perks to take?

[tame sundial]

and who consistently do that should have some level of punishment

bloodless also

[granite blade]

i mean you have a silencer, in a bush, and are sat outside the compound looking at your teammates outlines in the compound... kinda hard to not assume

[quiet hinge]

i like blast sense / witness / X

[tame sundial]

and if you plan on kniving people also whisper smith

whisper smith is very good in clash

[quiet hinge]

I've honestly lost count of how many times i've seen a team kill a dog cage with a non subsonic weapon and see them show up 200m away

[rapid hound]

i mean

if ive got nothing else to break the cage with

id rather shoot it out than have the dogs bark for half an hour

[crisp hound]

greyhound/determination/silent killer/pitcher

[quiet hinge]

yeah I'm just saying blast sense can really punish anyone using a silencer non subsonic

[rapid hound]

never really get any value out of blast sense

the poison sense one however

one match I got a shit ton of value out of it with catalyst

basically just spent most of my time pinging people thru walls for my teammates because for whatever reason the enemies were out of stamina for like 10 minutes

[tame sundial]

@granite blade Look I am hiding behind a wall ...a rat

[rapid hound]

actually yeah

[tame sundial]

and this is what happens when you stop being a "rat"

[rapid hound]

i wouldbe gone to revive my friend if i were you

[tame sundial]

I actually revived one

and went to revive second

[rapid hound]

lol 41 meters

with a shredder

[tame sundial]

and that dead image

is the result of it

he was camping the window

two players infact

[rapid hound]

didnt play well enough

just click head

ez

[tame sundial]

but hey you fellas have weird concept of what rat play style is

and good team play

[rapid hound]

if my teammate doesnt revive me in the span of 5 seconds after I die

i ban him

[granite blade]

you didnt check the window? or did you check and they just hit an insane shot?

[tame sundial]

"I would have revived my friend", I revived 1/2 and second got me killed becuse I decided to take the risk

I checked.

[quiet hinge]

why do you even care what other people think about your playstyle?

[tame sundial]

I dont care just stupid to assume

[rapid hound]

people should care whether their fun ruins others' fun

[hot mortar]

ban all campers (especially silenced maynard and bow users)

[rapid hound]

ethically the correct choice would be the one that results in the best outcome assuming everyone's feelings are equal

[tame sundial]

if you have to babysit players the fun of the game goes out the window to be honest

[rapid hound]

however taking that to the extreme means you just have to let everyone kill you

[granite blade]

im not entirely sure i agree with this tbh, to a point maybe but i wouldnt say absolutely

[rapid hound]

there's always nuance to everything

and parameters to stay within for the optimal effect

[tame sundial]

Nuance is, if you choose team in clash

try to cooperate and be a team even on a primitive cave men level

"oooh I run in I get killed u save me ok?"

doesnt work.

[rapid hound]

nuance is if you click on bounty clash you rush compound and stay in, whoever leaves first is stoopid

thats the only viable play

first team in wins

[tame sundial]

not really

[granite blade]

i mean this is literally what most people use clash for lol

[tame sundial]

Ive destroyed teams, including bounties who went in first

I also have persued bounties while a REAL rat have kept camping and sshooting at me

[rapid hound]

ive had plenty russians that dont speak unless you take a little longer to revive them

and won games with them

just play well, assume its a 1v3 and shoot people

that simple

[tame sundial]

this right here is why this game doesnt have as many players

as it could have

"Just play well"

[rapid hound]

yeah well what can I do if I play with randoms for whatever reason

I can't make the russians speak to me unless I tk them at the extraction

then they start yelling at me

[tame sundial]

You can penalize randoms who leave early, when their hunters are burned

There is that one solution already

when their hunters arent burned

[rapid hound]

I ask my random teammates where they're from

[tame sundial]

Either make their deserting statistic visible to other players

[rapid hound]

if I see china on EU server and they don't comm

insta tk

if I see russia on EU and they play like shit and don't comm, tk at the extraction

[tame sundial]

maybe a option

"Prioritize players who dont desert"

when match mking

making

that would be nice

[rapid hound]

me and my friend always random queue

i mean me, him, and a random

[tame sundial]

and when I say deserting I dont mean someone who leaves after three minutes

[rapid hound]

randoms are usually ok

[tame sundial]

but someone who gets themselves killed within a minute

and leaves before a minute

[rapid hound]

my teammates actually wait sometimes

[tame sundial]

dude I am having a miserable time

[rapid hound]

had one dude try to reconnect for 15 minutes and he actually did and helped me and my friend win

[tame sundial]

not always

[rapid hound]

yes thats what ONE dude means

[tame sundial]

but its enough that its getting annoying

[rapid hound]

out of the 100s of people weve gotten

few wait if the fight takes long

well, like half

the russians always log the moment they die

[tame sundial]

waiting is relative

is 1 min vs five minute the same ?

no

[rapid hound]

i dunno dude, they should

we usually win

me and my friend do better when were alone

third drags us down

[granite blade]

i have been the one reconnecting like once or twice ;v

[rapid hound]

oh no weve had like 15 minutes of him trying

[granite blade]

random power outage or internet drop

[rapid hound]

dude died in the open and I just went to rez and gave him a recovery or 2

and left him there

came back and helped us

thats loyalty

i like that

[granite blade]

i always reconnect, might as well

[tame sundial]

I am as loyal as I am vengeful against stupid players

[rapid hound]

i mean im not gonna stop TKing with good reasons

they don't even ban cheaters

why would they punish me for killing a chinese guy refusing to communicate on EU servers

they have their own

im gona lenient towards russians because they're like 90% of the players on EU and have the argument of being close to europe

so if they play well I don't care

[tame sundial]

I was screaming "Ammo box ammo box" to two players I was playing with

[rapid hound]

but they still never open their mics

[tame sundial]

One guy even held ammobox in his hand

but he never dropped it

[rapid hound]

real

[tame sundial]

while we were under high pressure of assaulting team

[hot mortar]

thats why id rather deal with the frustrations of 1 v 2 than with teammates who barely qualify as human

[tame sundial]

we were the bounty team

[quiet hinge]

this is a wild take from someone who said "people should care whether their fun ruins others' fun" when your fun is determined whether or not they speak to you in game

[tame sundial]

Despite my screaming my lungs out for ammo box

they never dropped it in time

so I killed both players

I felt so dirty

but also so angry

[rapid hound]

it's a team game, they queue with teammates on a server they're not supposed to be on and refuse to communicate or play with the team

[tame sundial]

Before the request I was keping my team secure with poison clouds in entrances

[rapid hound]

I believe its about right to send them back to the lobby

actions have consequences

[tame sundial]

someone screaming "ammo box!!!" 4x times

didnt go through to them

[quiet hinge]

if they're not suppose to be on it, they wouldn't be able to join it

[granite blade]

ive actually run into some fairly cool chinese people on NAE, really wish everyone in the world could have 0 ping to every server

[tame sundial]

somehow'

there are some really cool chinese indeed

perhaps they are leaving their servers to avoid cheaters

and have a fun session

[quiet hinge]

if you'd like to adovate for a lower ping limit, go for it, but you inforcing your own rules by tking these players is demented

[rapid hound]

nah im quite fair with it

if you play like an ass you're going to the lobby

play team games without a mic or communication

see what you'll hear

[tame sundial]

u can be cooperative with mic or not

[hot mortar]

yeah i have to agree, tking someone because they dont do what you want/ listen to you is far worse

[tame sundial]

it depends on the person really

[granite blade]

what if i use text chat and pings?

[rapid hound]

thats fine

[quiet hinge]

yeah no kidding, and they're doing it with a friend cause they're scared to do it by themselves because they'd get TK'd for doing it

[hot mortar]

atp play solo, got noone else to blame but yourself and game balance

[rapid hound]

I only TK people in the worst case scenarios, I don't tk people just because they don't comm, if they refuse to cooperate, play with the team, or play it like a team game

back to the fucking lobby

I don't care

crytek hasn't banned me

my friend TKs for worse

[hot mortar]

who appointed you to be their judge

[quiet hinge]

in worst case scenarios? Just scroll up to see these scenarios, if people don't communicate, if they're russian

[rapid hound]

I'm tired of getting headshotted through walls by chinese players on EU

[rapid hound]

yes, all of those at once

if you're out of region, refuse to communicate and play the team game as a team

back to the lobby

idgaf

I try to be nice, say hello, start a convo

[quiet hinge]

the russian servers are literally located in germany, just like the europe server is. Why would they play on a dead server?

[rapid hound]

and they run off and die

and yell at me when I don't revive them

[rapid hound]

the moscow servers are not in germany

[quiet hinge]

theres no moscow servers.

[rapid hound]

I get different ping on servers in the same cities

doesn't make sense

why would the russian region servers be in germany

[quiet hinge]

because of the war i'd imagine

[rapid hound]

east germany fell like

in 1989

[hot mortar]

just queue solo man... it really makes you free, i used to rage so much at my eastern EU "teammates" and it made my experience so miserable, never not even once have i had a good experience with a russian/ ukranian teammate, so i just went solo and now its up to me to play good, cant be sabotaged by "teammates" if there are none

[quiet hinge]

right.. I'm talking about the russian/ukraine war.

[rapid hound]

that was the case even before

dont worry

[rapid hound]

I get that TKing isnt nice but it's not right to queue into a competitive-ish team game and not play with a brain

[quiet hinge]

"moscow servers"

[rapid hound]

if you do you should be thinking about what you did in the lobby

ok

now im not sure whether im closer to moscow or germany

[hot mortar]

youre not their judge bro u dont get to pass judgement and TK bro is on an ego trip

[quiet hinge]

how can you not know that?

[rapid hound]

crytek's not doing shit about that

[rapid hound]

it's about in the middle

[hot mortar]

how is that at all related to what i said

[rapid hound]

I can't draw a line on a mental map

gimme a minute to pull up a map

and my specific city

[hot mortar]

we're talking about you not crytek

[granite blade]

hMM

[rapid hound]

it's a video game

[hot mortar]

that is correct

[rapid hound]

if in real life a guy was an ass to me it'd be wrong to punch him in the face for just that

[quiet hinge]

damn look at all these people in the middle

[rapid hound]

if you're gonna cry about me killing idiots ina video game

then go ahead

[acoustic gorge]

bro crytek is cool !

[rapid hound]

yup 0 anticheat updates since 1896

[hot mortar]

noone is crying sir no tears are shed for uncooperative teammates

[rapid hound]

i dont either

[tame sundial]

When you play a round of clash with a ten year old russian bebe and he destroys a squad

[rapid hound]

i shed gun casings

[acoustic gorge]

bro trust me when i say cheaters are like a 0.1 part of the player base !

[tame sundial]

and keeps saying "oh nice niiceee" when destroying players

lool

[acoustic gorge]

i can count on one amputed hand the number of cheaters in this game i met !

[tame sundial]

wish Hunt had 100 more of that fella 😄

[granite blade]

you know, it seems like people in voip are getting bolder and bolder

ive heard more slurs in the past week or 2 than i have ever heard in the past 2 years before that

[echo ridge]

125 hours in and 1 maxed hunter

[granite blade]

now save him and get 4 more for the achievement

[acoustic gorge]

good job man !!!

[echo ridge]

THAT TERRIBLE

[acoustic gorge]

WE TAKE THOSE SMALL WINS MAN

[echo ridge]

he got wiped by prestiged

( i shouldnt have done that )

[granite blade]

everyone has their own reason for playing and if you enjoy prestiging then there is nothing wrong with that

[acoustic gorge]

one of the worst achievment 😢

[granite blade]

will always be 0 for me

[acoustic gorge]

took a lot of mindless grinding

[granite blade]

no i mean-

[hot mortar]

man body campers are so fucking cringe

[hot mortar]

im just farming exp and was avoiding the fight you REALLY have to sit on top of my burning body for 2 minutes just to get that extra kill to delete my lvl 50 hunter

what a loser

[granite blade]

it will always be 0 because i have never played soul survivor and nor do i plan to

[raven totem]

Most of the time these days it's mostly a dead mode

[echo ridge]

i now have to learn chinese to play in asia

[quiet hinge]

ya cause you cant derank in it nowadays lol

[echo ridge]

cause apprently i am the only non chinese here

[raven totem]

Demon hours? Idk when we play I'm typically the only one running my mouth.

[granite blade]

no specific time necessarily but i will say it happens in randoms more often now

[raven totem]

Oh, rip

You hurting people's feelings?

[granite blade]

maybe? idk lol

like maybe i can somewhat understand the ones i get when im playing avto

but like, does it have to be a slur? ;v

[raven totem]

Lol

[shell turret]

what solo?

[quiet hinge]

people live for this shit lol

[granite blade]

always target the solo

[quiet hinge]

back when i was rushing prestige 100, it was actually crazy how much exp farmer on exp farmer violence there really is

[raven totem]

https://tenor.com/view/mitchell-and-webb-are-we-the-baddies-goodies-baddies-world-war-2-wwii-gif-4699632647233780562

[granite blade]

i even convince my randoms to chase down solos

[whole furnace]

yes

[shell turret]

killing solos first is kinda most the most convenient thing to do

[quiet hinge]

and then sit on their chest with pennyshot derringer

[granite blade]

always

[shell turret]

i mostly play shotguns anyway

[granite blade]

penny just adds insult to injury since you are literally standing on top of their body

[whole furnace]

I prefer to stand behind them and melee them in the back when they get up

[shell turret]

i like to get a team mate to watch them while i unload there guns

[compact lance]

are the matches still empty? or more empty? i last played ss in june 2024

[hot mortar]

or just... go play the game instead of doing a campfire simulator, if they dont get up in the first 30 seconds i just go do my thing

[quiet hinge]

i never understood this

[shell turret]

its funny

[acoustic gorge]

idk i did this a long time ago

[compact lance]

i might go test right now, just to see

[quiet hinge]

what server?

[compact lance]

eu

[quiet hinge]

no eu servers are probably the most bumpin

[compact lance]

not really empty empty, but i got like 1 or 2 people

[shell turret]

console?

[compact lance]

nah

FLAMETHROWER

[shell turret]

why is it 2 slot

[compact lance]

maybe its not optimal for pvp

i mean shotguns exist, and dragonbreath

i doubt it will replace them or anything, even if the bars burn fast

i can imagine players just pushing trough and filling that fella with buckshot

[urban steppe]

In case they get back up
They can’t shoot back

[quiet hinge]

so the plan is to let them finish their stand up animation?

[urban steppe]

It will no doubt replace two slotter shotguns
The flame sorta lingers like the hellfire bolt

Smart players will be using the flamethrower to check corners and windows or whatever by blind firing

Remember
All they need to do is tag someone to hopefully knock off a bar to leave them in the one tap hp range for the rest of the fight

[urban steppe]

You unload the gun into them smh my head

[quiet hinge]

??

[granite blade]

but thats exactly what the new flare pistol inspect animation is for

[urban steppe]

If I down a solo and can’t burn them
I unload both their weapons into their body and pick up my stuff later to bolt away?

It’s the only logical thing to do

[quiet hinge]

the logical thing to do is to bring something to burn lol if you kill a solo, assume they're going to stand back up until they're fully burnt out. Standing over top of them unloading his marathon of 30 bullets seems pointless when ammo boxes exist

[urban steppe]

If they get up after I leave, they can’t hurt me without wasting time to reload

[raven totem]

I don't see many solo

[urban steppe]

Oh no I just unload the stuff that is alr chambered

And then dip

I keep my eyes on the area though so if they get up and try to reload I just shoot them again

😼

[raven totem]

It's also all it does, vs say bomb launcher w one tap options. Probably just not strong enough to warrant 3 slot

Looks nifty though

[urban steppe]

I mean
It’s just a two slot dragons bolt spammer
It’s going to be good for blind firing for guys hiding behind corners and windows

[raven totem]

Unless they outright one tap you

[compact lance]

oh no, i reload and unload all bullets. and then also reach into their pockets to throw their consumables away. and snatch their shoes too.

[raven totem]

We'll see

[urban steppe]

They can’t
Because buckshot flies straight while you can shoot in the flaming jelly from an angle

It had splash too doesn’t it
Looks like it in the footage

So you can indirectly chip off hp of people

Without exposing yourself

[compact lance]

the important question is, will the liquid fire go trough metal grates and stuff?

[quiet hinge]

cant wait to see the aim punch on the flame thrower

[raven totem]

I'm assuming it'll be a menace in lower brackets and ignored in top

[compact lance]

yea probs

but if its strong at start then maybe not

[hardy coral]

Can’t believe alongside the flame thrower they’re releasing shadow bullet… let’s you have one bullet in your chamber that has instant instantaneous muzzle velocity essentially hit scan.

[urban steppe]

Doubtful
Crytek hit boxes are alr bad enough

I shoot a guy through a gap in the metal plated roof at one of the compounds at mammons and it didn’t register

[urban steppe]

Yeah my thoughts exactly
If you angle the stream and get a hit Marker
You can just hold down mouse one and they can’t do anything as they are aimpunched to death

[urban steppe]

I’ll draw another one of my famous ms paint sketches to show what I mean in a bit

[upbeat lark]

Was gonna say I have another scarce weapon idea but I don't think we'd want another now/crossbows variants

[urban steppe]

Double barrel crossbow

[upbeat lark]

Quadbarrel mini crossbow

[urban steppe]

Yes

[upbeat lark]

Make it like rust wipe

[raven totem]

Double barrel martini

[scarlet plinth]

Wouldnt that be…drilling

But Long Ammo

[raven totem]

Don't worry about it

It'll be fine

[hot mortar]

soon

[granite blade]

the immolator one is taking the longest for me ;v

[raven rune]

bro you've found the hellborn this event????

[raven rune]

I want this... with shredder for martini

[trail spade]

Listen here

Bow concertina + flamer

This is the way

[ornate jolt]

Where are the locked weapons caches now? Or am I completely blind?

[raven totem]

Red big towers, and it's rng

[ornate jolt]

Ahh! Thank you

[trail spade]

You can find them in big towers

[dawn zinc]

I hope the flame rifle gives me as much joy as dragon bolts used to

I love taking concertina bombs. traps, arrows and torturing players with fire

[trail spade]

"I am completely and mentally stable."

Oh look a flamethrower

[dawn zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/stranger-things-season4-murray-murray-flamethrower-flamethrower-burn-gif-26023596

[coral sun]

need gunrunner to play flamethrower

[trail spade]

[coral sun]

i cant trust as a main weapon

[dawn zinc]

Flamethrower and hand crossbow dragon bolts

[coral sun]

get 4 hell bomb too

[trail spade]

Concertina arrows and flamer will go hard

Just watch them try to leave

As you cook them

[coral sun]

does its going inside concertina

[granite blade]

then dont, play obrez drum spitzer as main weapon

[trail spade]

^ heresy

[coral sun]

smart

[dawn zinc]

I used to run cenny dumdum with dragonbolts and it was so dirty

Make them bleed and then toast them alive

[opal dawn]

Bro's going conc arrows and flamethrower yet thinks obrez spitzer is heresy

[trail spade]

Conc arrows needs setup

Only a knave would run spitzer

[upbeat lark]

The duality of shotguns

Tbh I thought Lebel spritzer is a scarce thing

Turns out you can just buy the thing

[opal dawn]

Why... Did you think that

[trail spade]

850MV :D

[upbeat lark]

An already high MV rifle with a ammo type that make it even higher

Thing is practically a hitscan now

[trail spade]

Yes

[opal dawn]

Now? It's always been that way

[trail spade]

^ ye

[opal dawn]

Yet mosin is still the top pick even with spitzer. It even gets 1 more round than the mosin with spitzer. 13 and mosin gets 12 total

[raven totem]

If I do that I'll run base for the 125

[trail spade]

You mean lebel ?

[wheat pilot]

Mosin is good but 90% of the reason it's so popular is because of the reputation is has. It's not much better than other long ammo rifles really.

[upbeat lark]

I would choose mosin too cause of the faster reload

[opal dawn]

Yes, lebel

[upbeat lark]

Lebel reload from empty is really slow

[trail spade]

Faster reload is valid

[opal dawn]

It kinda is... 136 damage, it cycles faster than the lebel, it reloads way faster. Better sights tho that is subjective

[upbeat lark]

Tho if I'm fighting in longer range I would use Lebel

[wheat pilot]

People act like the ability to gut shot someone with a missing bar comes into play that often lol

[upbeat lark]

Quick scoping with level marksman is fun

[trail spade]

I mean with spitzer its like 820

[opal dawn]

Lebel mark is a fun little thing

[mortal cove]

That's the point

[trail spade]

30m/s diff aint that big

[upbeat lark]

I just use the guns I find fun

[mortal cove]

Turn Lebel Marksman into an effective hitscan rifle

[wheat pilot]

Like it's a super specific scenario when you manage to hit someone who you have already downed before but only in the lower torso and not upper

[trail spade]

Lebel marksman is so good

Imo marksman scope>>sniper scope

[granite blade]

the only correct way to play

[upbeat lark]

Like rn I find Springfield shorty with the scope fun

[mortal cove]

DLSS 4.5 finally fixed the scope ghosting

Praise the Lord Jensen

[dawn zinc]

Restoration shot really should only be found in loot boxes and saddle bags

Really dislike that everyone can restore a bar instantly now

[trail spade]

With all the instant burning it doesnt matter that much imo

[opal dawn]

Wait, you can find them elsewhere?

[wheat pilot]

The reload is valid but the rest doesn't matter usually imo. And doesn't the mosin have slower cycle time than the lebel?

[dawn zinc]

You can just buy them for your loadout

[opal dawn]

ohhhh, yeah I've looted recov from Hunters

[wheat pilot]

like at least according to the stats the mosin has 1.9 cycle time and lebel has 1.8

[opal dawn]

It's a lie, the mosin cycles slightly faster with iron eye than the lebel

[wheat pilot]

Ah okay

[opal dawn]

If you don't believe me, you can put it in #game-questions or ask the almighty Glide or BigOwO

It's not a wild difference, but there is one

And berthier cycles slightly faster than the mosin

[whole furnace]

OwO?

[opal dawn]

[opal dawn]

Allmighty BigOwOMcCree! Does the Mose cycle slightly faster than lebel with iron eye in spite of the claimed statistics?

[trail spade]

The action on the mosin is way too smooth anyway

[wheat pilot]

I do believe you and I agree that the mosin is better, I'm just saying that the reputation the mosin has carries it more than it's actual stats

[normal radish]

lebel faster than mosin? what am i gonna hear next, jesus has returned?

[whole furnace]

Long ammo cycle speed with Iron eye:

• Krag, 1.4s
• Mako, 1.45s (might be outdate and faster now)
• Berhtier, 1.66s
• Mosin, 1.8s
• Lebel, 1.92s

[whole furnace]

What stats is bad about it tho?

[wheat pilot]

I never said any stats are bad what

[normal radish]

sounds about right

[whole furnace]

I'm just saying that the reputation the mosin has carries it more than it's actual stats

[normal radish]

lebel is clearly slower in all cycles than mozin

[wheat pilot]

yes, where exactly am I saying the mosin has bad stats in that message

[whole furnace]

Sorry if I misread that as you implying that the mosin lacking in stats?

[normal radish]

to me it also seemded you implied mosin in only rumored to be good

not actually good

[opal dawn]

Not lacking, moreso that it's not as different from say Lebel than people say it is

[wheat pilot]

What I meant was that jusdging by how much people pick it and complain about it, you would think it's miles ahead of other long ammo rifles

[normal radish]

steam has impeccable timing as always

[wheat pilot]

While really it's not that much better than the other choices especially taking into account how much more expensive it is

i replied to the wrong message

[wild scroll]

what is up with my trios in oce having 1 dude

[whole furnace]

It is not, I would not cry if I lost a 50/50 coinflip between getting a mosin or lebel, but the mosin still be more desirable.

[normal radish]

i get you no worries

[wild scroll]

are yall playing a different mode?

[opal dawn]

what

[normal radish]

no, its just that people in Australia got mostly eaten by spiders or beaten by kangaroos and cant play the game. not enough people

[opal dawn]

Tho I didn't realize the berth shot that much faster than the Mosin

[normal radish]

berths fire rate is superb

[wild scroll]

couldnt hunt just increase the mmr cap then for oce specifically?

server will literally die

[normal radish]

it doesnt work that way friend

[opal dawn]

It is, it's a damn solid rifle. Best bang for buck rn imo

[trail spade]

Nobody cares about OCE in any game ever

[normal radish]

if it does not find players, the mmr barricade is removed

[whole furnace]

Berth is quite overtuned

[wild scroll]

genuinely didnt know that

[whole furnace]

More damage than lebel, 21 long ammo and can split to give 10 long ammo bullets per deployable ammo box

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-19118236

[unborn bolt]

Over 2000 hours of Hunt, but I still don't understand this nonsense from Crytek.

[opal dawn]

I think it's very funny that the carbine version does more damage than the full sized version despite both firing the same round

[normal radish]

what is it that you DONT understand here

[whole furnace]

1: low playercount means widen MMR search
2: They might be bordering to being 4 and 5 star like you :)

[normal radish]

its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the dog of the fight in the size

[whole furnace]

Oh yeah, it is so damn stupid especially bc the berth was added as a "cheaper long ammo option".

[unborn bolt]

How can a team with MMR 4 and MMR 5 have a higher team MMR than a team with MMR 5 and MMR 6 with an identical team modifier?

[opal dawn]

Isn't team mmr based on recent matches?

If two 6 stars are on a severe losing spree they go down in team mmr

[opal dawn]

Yeah, couldn't have said it better!

[normal radish]

simple, personal mmr is based on your recent KD, match mmr which is the deciding factor in matchmaking takes more items into account. and by default a leeway is permitted UPWARDS.

[whole furnace]

You might be close to 6 star and your friend close to 5 star :)
Also the matchmaking also skewer depending on win/loss streaks.
Maybe they been on a bad losing streak or you vice versa.

[normal radish]

lack of players can also result in seemingly worse matchmaking

[wheat pilot]

Team MMR is influenced largely by your recent performance iirc. If you have been winning a lot of matches and the 5/6 star duo has been losing a lot of matches recently, the game might put you two in higher mmr and those two in lower mmr

[unborn bolt]

Ah, okay, I always assumed that the team MMR was a combination of the individual MMR + team modifier.

[normal radish]

nay, it works different

you can be 6 personal and 3 team

[opal dawn]

It can happen to you as well, so you can be thrown into a 3* lobby should you be losing a lot

[normal radish]

which A LOT of self entitled people with ego issues seem to mistake, excludig the current convo

[unborn bolt]

Okay, thanks for the explanation. 🙂 Even though I don't find Crytek's system particularly intuitive or self-explanatory 😛

[normal radish]

its not, dont worry

[whole furnace]

Oh don't worry, it ain't lol

[upbeat lark]

Dang that one Springfield shorty with the scope is fun

390 MV with dumdum I should use it in the range first so that I can hit my shots when I need it to

[whole furnace]

Dunno I think I prefer it without deadeye now that deadeye provides little zoom :/

[normal radish]

use dum/mv, its the best range option in terms of overall util

[upbeat lark]

With the shorty I really don't like the iron sight

The normal variant the iron sight is quite clean

[whole furnace]

Mjah, I guess, I just quick aim anyways

[wheat pilot]

Ngl i love that the deadeye has barely any zoom now

[normal radish]

it went from 2x which is dawgshite to red dot which is good

or 3x sth

[wheat pilot]

For me it makes hitting the head easier

[whole furnace]

I used to counter snipe snipers with the old deadeye

I miss that

It being a holosight now is so depressing

[inland stump]

just tried mosin obrez

oh man it's great

[upbeat lark]

Deadeye is like one of those elcan specter sight on tarcov set to 1x

[opal dawn]

The 2-slot one?

[inland stump]

yeah

[opal dawn]

Yeah, it's the best 2-slot rifle in the game

Just wait until you unlock the drum variant

[normal radish]

not 1 to 1, it does not impede movement or affect sway in anyway in hunt. its just a better ironsight

[inland stump]

already did lmao got 3 kills w it

[upbeat lark]

Agreed

[opal dawn]

Ah, very goooood! 25 rounds of long ammo is nuts for a 2-slot rifle

[inland stump]

combining it w bow

[normal radish]

i wonder who told them it needs more than 15

[opal dawn]

On top of removing its sway penalty

[whole furnace]

It darkens and blur around the scope, so not strictly better

[upbeat lark]

[opal dawn]

Obrez drum used to have more sway. Like bayonet versions of rifles

[normal radish]

uh yeh forgot about that

its got good fov though

[normal radish]

removing them entirely was kinda counter immersive though

[opal dawn]

Yeah, no reason not to pick them now

[upbeat lark]

I need to see this where can I find the obrez and it's variant in the range

[whole furnace]

I basically only run deadeye on martini henry, mostly bc there is always a 50/50 chance that the current patch broke it again and it loses all its sway lol

[normal radish]

henry deadeye is goated af

[opal dawn]

See what? The obrez drum has the same sway as the regular obrez now

[astral moss]

Do you guy think we are gonna have inferno map back with the flamethrower update ?

[normal radish]

my friend, they kinda said that

[astral moss]

Where ?

[wheat pilot]

I think inferno was specified on the roadmap

[normal radish]

roadmap

[astral moss]

Yeah on the roadmap, but i dont see any info it will be on this update.

It would make sens tho.

[dawn zinc]

does the bear spawn every single time at the circus?

[whole furnace]

Yeah dunno, think they are saving inferno for the next event.

[astral moss]

Fire themed update.

[wheat pilot]

Coming 2026 so not confirmed that it's this season

[whole furnace]

Well to be fair, bileweavers is also there

So who knows

[wheat pilot]

Those are coming back this season already aren't they?

[dawn zinc]

I'm curious what the new system for loadout diversity will be

[wheat pilot]

They are in the flamethrower trailer

[astral moss]

The "More hunter per match" is stil stressing me.

[whole furnace]

I'm filled with dread and excitement about this statement lool

[whole furnace]

It is often asked for

But asks people ask for dumb shit all the time

[wheat pilot]

I think it will be good for trios and bad for duos

[normal radish]

tool/cons merger, i bet on it

[wheat pilot]

And I play duos so I don't like it

[astral moss]

Cool, but people often ask for thing that turn horrible over time.

[whole furnace]

Cannot wait for it to drop and people go "OMG GAME IS SO BORING EVERYONE IS JUST CAMPING!"

[whole furnace]

Such as?

[uneven flume]

also curious to know what they mean with new seasonal model

[astral moss]

I mean, in general.

[uneven flume]

hope we get more info than "just" a new weapon tmrrw

[whole furnace]

That would literally change nothing for my loadout lol
Maybe I'd take an extra recovery shot

[whole furnace]

That is... dunno, a very flawed arguement if you ask me?
Like ofc things can be bad if Crytek makes it worse down the line lol

[wheat pilot]

Judging by how that panel has bileweavers in the background, I think maybe they mean that past event stuff will be returning often? Like how this season we will see the bileweavers again. Not sure though.

[whole furnace]

I asked for Berthier, didn't ask for crytek to buff it to deal lebel damage, have 21 bullets and be able to loot 10 bullets from deployable ammo boxes lol

[astral moss]

Idk how more player on the map is gonna impact the game in a good way, did people like to do 15 fight before contesting the bounty ?

[whole furnace]

Pretty sure it just means events takes 3 months with a couple of mini-updates in them.

[upbeat lark]

Dang I'm starting to like the Springfield more and more

[uneven flume]

yeah was thinking that too, although that might also mean that seasons are not that distinct anymore if everything is present everywhere

[uneven flume]

sure but that was basically the case the last year already (without the mini events) so why even rename it now?

[whole furnace]

Because it is a reframe of the concept

Seasons means there is no more vanilla hunt

[wheat pilot]

Personally trio matches often feel kinda empty and slow to me but maybe that's because im a duos junkie used to 3rd partying all the time

[dawn zinc]

trios can be so hit and miss with action

some games are insane and others are dead

[uneven flume]

its just a rebranding, the duration etc will stay the same with your proposal. im not against it, just curious

[dawn zinc]

unless you just beeline to the gunfire

[opal dawn]

So... What people already are complaining about?

[whole furnace]

I really hope crytek only adds 1 team to trios, 5 is a good number, was too for duos, but then crytek added a 6th team and ruined duoos lol.

[mild flower]

that's a good thing. it keeps the game exciting and varied. it's one of hunt's selling points.

[dawn zinc]

I think just adding more players to double bounty maps would be decent

[whole furnace]

Well, events used to be shorter. Now it seems like they aim for 3 months and no breaks between them

[wheat pilot]

I think they just wanna move away from calling it events like they are some time-limited special modifiers. They want to make it clear that there is no vanilla hunt anymore

[dawn zinc]

ehhhh I kinda see what you mean but the maps where you just kill, banish and extract are a bit boring after you have played long enough

[opal dawn]

Problem with more teams is that it's either gonna make spawn points more obvious, or spawn fights are gonna come back

[whole furnace]

Eyup without realizing that more teams on the map doesn't make the game actionfilled, just more campy.

[whole furnace]

Spawn fights are already back, I am getting more this event and the one before.

[mild flower]

having 0 pvp is always a server population issue from my experience, not reaching the player cap

either that or it's leavers/trolls/campers who don't even engage

[dawn zinc]

come back? I have the most insane spawn fights constantly

[opal dawn]

Yeah, but they're gonna become even more common, or people are gonna be edge hugging until they find each other if they're spaced out more evenly

[uneven flume]

yeah I guess they will bring back battelpasses as well, at least the non-mythic ones. why else make the skins legendary only? but its pretty inconsistent if you ask me

[whole furnace]

That is true :)

[uneven flume]

maybe the new co-ceo will also be somewhat present with its influence in the upcoming months

[opal dawn]

I saw that in Bounty Clash, people just going along the circle until they faced off against each other

[whole furnace]

Bc community feedback was: FOMO fucking sucks

[opal dawn]

Which it does! Rare community w!

[uneven flume]

yeah Im all for it. its just inconsistent, they can bring mythics back as well

[whole furnace]

mhm mhm

[uneven flume]

its just their self imposed limitations and inconsistency

[dawn zinc]

I've not played one single match in 2k hours where the server has not been populated. double bounty just often leads to no action

[whole furnace]

For my sake, sure I wouldn't mind it at all, but there is a veil of "they could get sued" protecting re-releasing mythic skins.

[mild flower]

i'm so jealous

[uneven flume]

i think thats bs, ppl just play a license and dont own a product. crytek can do whatever they like

[wheat pilot]

That's because we are in the EU servers and that poor guy is in OCE

[uneven flume]

ppl just dont read tos

[whole furnace]

Tbh 99% of "no action" games are bc people in Hunt is bad at time management.
People will see a boss at 45% banishment and instead run in the opposite direction bc they heard a gunshot 300m away.

[whole furnace]

Maybe yeah, but there is a risk of Crytek getting sued over it.
Bc the skins was advetized as "exclusive" for the events.
That is why I say we should just re-run the events, then they are techincally not breaking that promise :V

[normal radish]

re run it in the same exact circumstances, and still a lot of people will burn out before getting plageu doc LMAO

og events were much harder to 100%

[uneven flume]

but for that you need to specify what an event is or? re runs would be easy to do but will probably tank numbers and veterans will not buy the pass since they already own it

[uneven flume]

cuz they were more like the story challenges now

[whole furnace]

Also think another good aspect would be to "stamp" skins with the dates the player obtained them.
So my Wayfinder bow skin would have a: "Obtained September 17th 2021, during the Light the Shadow Event".
That way people can still brag about their special skins if they wanna be cringe about it.

[uneven flume]

and sure they can sue, but whos winning is the main thing. ppl could also sue for the headsman changes

[whole furnace]

People are smarter now, but yeah I could see that lol
I guess they could tweak the events to fit modern designs

[whole furnace]

Vets can get like 400 worth of BB spread across of skins already owned, then they at least just get the cost of the pass back if they wanna participate. And also the battlepass could be expanded as the old ones were shorter, so new skins could be added too.

[astral moss]

Lol imagine duo lobby with one more team.

[wheat pilot]

Yeah i think one more team in trios is not that bad but in duos it sounds awful

[uneven flume]

true that. maybe they will add tide of corruption with inferno, would fit and could count as an event re run maybe? lol

[uneven flume]

i think its also insance that BB items are mythic lol. rip cardinal rain and fang shearer

[astral moss]

I think it will be awfull in both lobby.
But maybe wait and see.

[uneven flume]

they are basically sitting on a pile of money without using it

[whole furnace]

Yeah, like my old dream was to just sell old BP in the shop without time limits.
People can only progress one pass at a time and there is still an incentive to play the current running ones during events bc those get hunter 10% bonus and all the extra point tied to event mechanics.
So if you run an old pass you basically only progress from dead hunter looted, bosses killed and bounty extracted.

[uneven flume]

that would be perfect and "modern", they already laid out the foundation with the story challenges

only one pass active and weeklies count towards the active pass, maybe make older ones after the disappeared from the live server more expensive to incentivize the initial buy and play

[whole furnace]

But like, I'm gonna complete this pass in 2 weeks, would be nice to buy traitors moon and progress that.
Also more longlivity for players to grind shit.

[uneven flume]

players numbers up, ingame sales up, no investment needed - basically its a win win overall

[raven totem]

Yall talking about a situation crytek is done past and made a decision on.

[uneven flume]

because decisions are set in stone

[worn oak]

Hunters! ☕
If you have a Nvidia (2000 ,3000 ,4000 , 5000 series) GPU, make sure you get the new driver, 591.74. It dropped yesterday.

The DLSS 4.5 is here.
And apparently it's great.

[dusty palm]

Is it like normal for bounty contract to have people just camping a long ass time?

[uneven flume]

yes kinda

depends on their loadouts and playstyle ofc

[worn oak]

Anything is possible when there are countless of playstyles out there.

[dusty palm]

rn is night time so I believe that somehow makes people camp more

[wheat pilot]

If there are multiple teams surrounding the boss lair and the bounty guys are just sitting in their building it often leads to a stalemate

[dusty palm]

the map*

[wheat pilot]

because nobody can move without getting shot at

[dusty palm]

ah ffs

welp this sucks im in that situation now

[uneven flume]

that and rain probably

either go extract and load into the next one, push mindlessly or play it smart but maybe boring

[inland stump]

its night time so all the freaks with their hive bombs are around

ffs

[dusty palm]

my corpse burnt out cause I didnt trust my gut that some one is camping on the left side of the door

now Im just watching two if my chinese team mate camping

[mild flower]

chad hive bomb users

[inland stump]

its the most unnecessary thing in the game

don't wanna waste a slot to antidote

[wheat pilot]

hive bombs are funny

[mild flower]

hive bombs are super easy to shut down, dont need antidote.

just use fire or melee them twice.

twice.

two times

[inland stump]

hey man there is like 3 of them

it doesnt end

[mild flower]

then praise the hunt lords that your enemies are throwing because they aren't bringing any other better consumables

[wheat pilot]

Aren't the hive bomb bees more resistant?

I swear to god it takes me more than 2 hits

[mild flower]

idk maybe, but it's still 2 heavy melees with your rifle

[mild flower]

u using a 2 slot?

[wheat pilot]

spear

[mild flower]

oh yeah that explains it

you're better off using your primary gun

dont spear bees

[wheat pilot]

makes sense now that you say it

a pointy knife on a stick wouldn't be the best for bugs lol

[mild flower]

not only do you save weapon swapping time, it's also less hits

[astral moss]

Depend the melee.

[dawn zinc]

should be able to weapon inspect spear to clear bees

[mild flower]

@inland stump do you bring flare gun?

or even fusees

[inland stump]

ya it was a unfortunate scenario

[astral moss]

Fuse work too yeah.

[inland stump]

where butcher was running at me

while enemy is peeking and three hive bombs on my head

[mild flower]

lmao

[astral moss]

Or spear kill it in 2 heavy hit i think.

[inland stump]

I hit like 4 times with kknife

still hits poison

[mild flower]

Happens to the best of us

[inland stump]

so it doesn't matter

[mortal cove]

Not apparently, it is

[mild flower]

for future reference it's usually better to swat them with your 3 slot gun's heavy melee

unless you're already holding your melee out in which case i have no idea

but yea if you have flares or fusees, you can shoot/throw them at the bees and it instantly clears them @inland stump

[astral moss]

Knife in big 2026 ?

[mild flower]

I presume Kknife means knuckle knife

double k
