What do you mean?

I have all my games installed on my d drive

[pallid yew]

It just shows my earliest uncompleted week. I can’t choose a more recent one to track

[dense sleet]

it might be a bug then

bc i JUST selected a weekly literally an hour ago and now i cannot

you are right, the star is gone

wierd?

oh god this is cringe. post it on tiktok xD

[brazen vapor]

[dense sleet]

do you have anything not updated. bc you shouldnt be having ANY issues, i know plenty of people who run this game with 4090s and it is blissfully smooth

[whole path]

No?

It takes like a few minutes for everything to load it’s crazy

[dense sleet]

check all drivers, mobo drivers, literaly everything you can

hard drive or SSD?

[whole path]

Like after 5 min or so it’s fine

Hardline

Drive

[gritty phoenix]

praise rampage

[dense sleet]

you have a 4090 but use a HDD?

bro what?

[tranquil sail]

You are decay, the ceaselessly grinding entropy that destroys fact and makes way for history. Use the acid to destroy the evidence, and we will let you out.

[quasi leaf]

Are there any codes to redeem?

[whole path]

Literally every other game doesn’t have issue

[dense sleet]

anyways. this game isnt recommended to be put on a hard drive since those work very slow. its most likely bc Hard Drives are pretty bad at loading new data. i would recommend getting either a SATA SSD or preferably a M.2 NVME. i use a m.2 and it takes 15ish seconds for my game to load when im in the main menu

[dense sleet]

i doubt that tbh, HDDs are wildly inefficient and absurdly slow. you might jsut be use too it at this point OR dont play quite demanding games

[dense sleet]

to my knowledge no, there isnt

[half ruin]

okay Confucius

[quasi leaf]

Ok ty

[tranquil sail]

Did you get your Shiny Meloetta

[whole path]

Uh I play call of duty no issues

[half ruin]

yeah

[tranquil sail]

Good

[dense sleet]

not a demanding game

[whole path]

????

[dense sleet]

thats an "Esport", designed to run on most things

[whole path]

It’s a modern triple a game

It runs like Garbo on ps4

[half ruin]

the most demanding hardware requirement for COD is storage

[dense sleet]

*oh wait you mean BO what number 9 at this point now? 7?"

[tranquil sail]

7

[whole path]

Black ops 7

[dense sleet]

jesus

[tranquil sail]

The precious game was bo.. 6

7..

[dense sleet]

BO7, has a 4090, and uses a HDD

bizarre

[untold stag]

AI Slop Ops 7***

[dense sleet]

please do yourself a favor and spend 100-150 bucks on a 1tb m.2 at LEAST for games that highly recommend it

[whole path]

Have you seen the SDD prices now days?

[dense sleet]

yea

you have a 4090

[whole path]

Also it’s a almost 10 year old game

[dense sleet]

zero excuses lmao

[whole path]

It should not run this bad

[dense sleet]

and its quite a demanding game

it doesnt run that bad, your rig is just bad

[whole path]

I have a 4090!!!

[dense sleet]

yet you use the slowest possible storage device

[tranquil sail]

I got a i7-10700 w/ a 4060 and 16gb ram and hunt never drops below 100

[dense sleet]

that matters so fucking much bro lmao

whats your ram? speed and capacity if you know it

[untold stag]

is a 3090 ti still relevant these days?

[whole path]

128 gigs ddr5

[tranquil sail]

128 GIGS RAM

[dense sleet]

damn ok, respect

[tranquil sail]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-bro-hand-on-shoulder-gif-11963500747147243380

Help a fella out?

[dense sleet]

do you do like video editing or something? why the fuck do you have 128?

i have 64 and its absurd

at least your ram decision makes sense, if not a bit "overkill" to say the least xD

you have such a oddball rig my guy wtf

[whole path]

Blender and video editing yes

[dense sleet]

i wouldnt see why not, thats as solid ass gpu

makes sense then

still holy shit

wait wait wait

you do all that, and WILLINGLY use a HDD?

that makes even less sense

[untold stag]

ok nice that's what i got rn

[dense sleet]

obviously you arent breaking any performance thresholds, but she'll do ya right in Hunt lol

[whole path]

I got 14tb on sale for like 200 a while back

[dense sleet]

coulda just bought a 2tb M.2 and it wouldve been LEAGUES better

[tranquil sail]

https://tenor.com/view/uma-musume-umamusume-ウマ娘-ウマ娘-プリティーダービー-シングレ-gif-14592861020036134542

[dense sleet]

you just buy what has big quantity dont you?

[tranquil sail]

I want these sells what the fuck

[dense sleet]

read/write speed matter just as much as capacity

[tranquil sail]

HIS LOBSTER TOO BUTTERY, STEAK TOO JUICY

[dense sleet]

if not more

his lobster is none of those, 14tb on a HDD sounds awful

holy partitions, keep me away from that one man xD

[whole path]

No it’s actually a NAS drive so it’s pretty good

[kindred rose]

Does anyone here wanna join my friend group discord? We play hunt showdown and sea of thieves

[tranquil sail]

No thanks Tomboy Lover

[dense sleet]

bc i needed a refresher on NAS, google literally says it right there lol

[untold stag]

is there a way to bind a dif key to loot downed hunter weapons being in the way of looting kinda annoying

[dense sleet]

admittedly ai so grain of salt of course

[dense sleet]

i think its your Drive man slowing it WAYY down, especially with a 4090 i imagine the r/w speed just canno keep up

the issue is you are getting CAPACITY over raw data speed, which for something as strong as a 4090 is very important

[whole path]

i can edit 4k raw video off the hdd just fine so i don't understand why a 10 year old game has issues

[dense sleet]

editing video and playing a game are quite different

look man i just gave you my thoughts

but you are the ONLY person ive seen complain about his games performance while using a 4090

[whole path]

It’s just this game specifically

Don’t have any issues with other games

[dense sleet]

i dont have a concrete answer for you

but i would recommend a SSD at the very least

since it is HIGHLY recommend this game go on that, its on the steam page iirc

[pallid yew]

[prime lake]

do crytek bring back older battle passes?

[brazen vapor]

Crytek does not, they only bring back seasonal skins like Halloween and Christmas skins.

[whole path]

i mean this is just crazy

can't even see my teammate

[whole mist]

Sometimes it takes awhile for them to load in

Oh, you’re the guy with the 4090

Must be the drive u have it installed on

[tranquil sail]

Bro is forever the "guy with the 4090"

[pallid yew]

Why is the homestead so bad

[whole mist]

It’s a double barrel Romero. It’s good

[pallid yew]

Like legit can’t get a kill with it. Point blank barrel stuffed a dude and he didn’t die

[upbeat lark]

this is so relateable

[prime lake]

how does buying something from the crytek website works, do i get a key?

[upbeat lark]

me with a laptop gpu rtx 3050 the cornfield is my bane man

[urban steppe]

How are guys with the 4090 loading in slower than me
I have a 3050 💀

[urban steppe]

dude I'm running the same LOL

I felt this

[upbeat lark]

agreed

[urban steppe]

how tf are guys with the 4090 having loading issues

[upbeat lark]

70% of the time the cornfield is like a bunch of wall texture

[urban steppe]

😿

[upbeat lark]

cant even see anything trough

[urban steppe]

this is why I run explosive ammo

[quasi spindle]

nerf bows

why bow and arrow does more damage than bullets?

[frozen current]

i had this issue when my drivers werent updated

like a week ago

[whole mist]

yes

[whole path]

Yeah but I built this pc like 6 months ago the game is much older then that

[prime lake]

its not the same graphic engine as on launch

it got changed for updated graphics

[frozen current]

the game runs pretty weird lol

[whole path]

That was still like 5 years ago

[frozen current]

all my PCs have issues on this game every once in a while

[whole path]

I guess what can I expect from the pple who made crisis

[whole mist]

put the game on an SSD and see

@mortal cove could probably help u out. He's like our resident tech guy here

[frozen current]

wait lmao ur not on an ssd in 2026?

[whole path]

Have you seen ssd prices in 2026

[frozen current]

ah yes ofc

the extra $100

how insane

[whole mist]

the strongman skin fits perfect with this scottie swift skin

[upbeat lark]

your game is not on ssd?

[echo ridge]

is it me or hunters faces doesnt move.

[upbeat lark]

dang that explains it

its expensive nowdays yes but that part is the only one bottle necking your game right now pretty much

hhd while it do have big storage it doesnt have as much read speed as a nice quality ssds have

[ancient whale]

Their faces never moved since the beginning.

[echo ridge]

they just stared u down with their 😐

[sick bramble]

and sometimes their lipless face

[echo ridge]

[raven rune]

huh I wondered why the bounty team was so slow with picking up the bounty. turns out one of their teammates disconnected. his name? ||Internet explorer||

[upbeat lark]

thats

what a perfect name

[sick bramble]

i can see why they chose that name

[upbeat lark]

im contemplating to buy a dlc

i want two but i can only have one

[sick bramble]

just get 3

[normal kayak]

which ones

[upbeat lark]

its either when shadows dance or the shadow under the cowl

[upbeat lark]

youre so right

why didnt i think of that

[normal kayak]

i would get shadow under the cowl

[upbeat lark]

the former is cause the springfield skin is cool and the latter is cause the krag skin is cool

[sick bramble]

which one do you play more

[upbeat lark]

its literally just which one is cooler rn

[upbeat lark]

springfield tho thats mostly cause im grinding prestige rn and need a cheap yet effective weapon

[sick bramble]

yeah i'd get it for springfield too cuz krag more expensive and i don't use it often

[upbeat lark]

god i hate to choose only one thing

hmmmmmmmm

[sick bramble]

it be like that

[normal kayak]

i mean under the cowl has a cool throwing knife and if youre prestiging youll use it enough id say

throwing knives are pretty nice to sit on until you get axe and spear

[upbeat lark]

i got a springfield skin from the twich drop so imma buy the shadow under the cowl

[upbeat lark]

i dont really like the throwing knife

hard to aim at dogs with it

[normal kayak]

tbh id say the most annoying things about throwing knife are like

horses moving their head and killing armoureds

[sick bramble]

i just bring regular knife for dogs and quick ai kills

[normal kayak]

but i dont mind using them when im at that point in prestiging

[upbeat lark]

i either bring axe or spear

[normal kayak]

saves me bringing fusees

[upbeat lark]

the bow is quite cool too

on the dlc

[normal kayak]

it is

[upbeat lark]

too bad my hit rate on the bow is less than 10%

i cant get used to the mv and drop

[half ruin]

Migt've had one of the hunt games of all time

[upbeat lark]

i got a really nice game yesterday with the ranger and high velo ammo

i dunno what came over me as i get 5 kills where 4 of those is headshots

my average performance is not like this

[half ruin]

wipe a trio to start the match, find a team fighting gator and everything goes silent when we arrive, so we say piss on them and went for scrapbeak. Come back, and 2/3 people were posted up in a watch tower. I think the third and 1 person from a duo circled the area where gator is for 20 fucking minutes

both were out of dark sight range and taking potshots the entire time, one with a centennial and the other with a bow

[upbeat lark]

that lobby sure is something

[half ruin]

those clowns almost stalled out the entire contract so we said piss on em and extracted

[upbeat lark]

my wildest lobby is one where pretty much the entire lobby is using the maynard sniper

not including my team

[half ruin]

infestation of rats

[upbeat lark]

we fought 2 teams with maynard we win tho teamate is down to lats bar and ended up redskulled by a water demon

[half ruin]

randoms moment

[upbeat lark]

needless to say we lose from the last team

[half ruin]

we were a trio, one random left after getting redskulled by an armored

[upbeat lark]

oof

[wraith forum]

Gmorning

[upbeat lark]

morning

[normal kayak]

teammate talking about watch out

no idea what hes on about

turns out he planned on throwing the dynamite exactly where i was standing

[naive socket]

In my games it says I am talking in game but I'm in a party chat on Xbox how do I turn it off

[remote moss]

i wonder if ill finally be able to drop to 5 star

eu is filled with so many rats, scared players

had some teammates that ran into a swamp bush and tried to snipe some fuckers with compact ammo while i tell them theres a team right next to us we could've pushed and wiped

god damn

[frozen current]

duo queue with 1 stars and die

[remote moss]

fr

[tepid drum]

smh why can't i have a Shredder badge and title

[wraith forum]

thats why i play with 1-4* when i search for a match

but tbh i do feel a bit bad, yesterday for example i went 27-2

died twice to a.i

lmfaoooooooooooo

[brazen vapor]

I got one guy from a trio and his teammates died to one immolator 😭

I survived

[normal kayak]

i actually remembered to turn up the voice chat volume and then immediately im grouped with a dude running open mic

i swear he was sniffing the mic at some point

[prime lake]

people in bc cant shut up for god´s sake

why you can listen to other teams convos

[ancient cave]

mmm tonight I should play a comms heavy game... I bet the stranger I pair with would love to hear my awful choice in music over the mic....

[brazen vapor]

I’ll be blasting George Micheal when I’m playing solo

[ancient cave]

when I play solo I'll play music for about 3 seconds before a noise makes me paranoid and I play in silence for the next 3 hours

[brazen vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-eating-gif-25793804

[remote moss]

i love eu so much, guy necros his teammate right next to my teammate

no ears or eyes

lmao

god this gameplay is a joke, i got greedy and tried to push bow

ahh first 200 hours in the game

poor guy, already 6 star

[austere coral]

24 seconds of darksight sounds legit, right?

[normal kayak]

whats the game that you hit with a hammer and get mad points called

[austere coral]

High Stiker

Striker*

[normal kayak]

right

my fucking random teammate

seems to think that if you hit it once you cannot hit it again that match

[normal kayak]

and it just wont work again

[austere coral]

he's correct. You can only get the score once per match

[normal kayak]

no lmao

ive hit it before and then proceeded to use the hammer

and get more points

its based off points not you hit it get fucked

[austere coral]

if you try another time, it will say "you have hit this score already"

[normal kayak]

yes bro thats because youre using the same thing

you can go back and get a higher score

[frozen current]

yea iirc u can hit it 4 times

[normal kayak]

you just need something that does more damage

i dont think you are understanding me

[austere coral]

oh, yeah. You can hit it again but it will only count if your hit is higher scoring than the first one

[frozen current]

fist for 1 point, ammo box for 4, axe for 8, hammer for max

[normal kayak]

yes thats what im saying

he seems to think it doesnt work like that and you can only hit it once at all

[austere coral]

nah, your friend is wrong lol

[normal kayak]

and i couldnt prove him otherwise because there was no melee nearby to get and we were being pushed

hes a random

he thinks because his bomb lance didnt do more than my gun that it works that way

[normal kayak]

also hammer doesnt score max to score max you need hammer + beserker trait

[frozen current]

i meant the event hammer

[normal kayak]

theres an event hammer?

[frozen current]

"railroad hammer"

[normal kayak]

no shot railroad hammer is an event thing

[frozen current]

its not

[normal kayak]

im talking about the hammer you find mid match

[frozen current]

but its got the event skin

[normal kayak]

youll notice that whatever you hit it with you dont hear the bell get hit

but if you get beserker plus hammer it will get hit giving extra points

its kinda cool

[quick cipher]

thats crazy, its so fake i almost believed it

[normal kayak]

the wall was a fucking rock bro

[remote moss]

you can wallbang some rocks at the very edge, fr

[mystic mulch]

buff rocks

[quick cipher]

suddenly the rock grabs your weapon and shoots it for you

[mystic mulch]

Rocks should shoot back tbh.

[untold stag]

Hunt in a nutshell, lol ive had that happen mannnnnnny times

with splitzer

[quick cipher]

just a “howdy pard’ner, dont mind if i do” yoinks your weapon, headshots the terrorising mosin uppercut

[half ruin]

add a rock throwable

or put some around the map like hammers

[quick cipher]

would be a fun item too ngl, ingame throwable, throw on zombies heads to one shot em

[paper anvil]

Maybe hunt rocks are made of plastic,but what means the entire environment is plastic..which means hunt is fake

🤔

[prime lake]

where can i see older battle pass seasons
cant find em on yt or in the wiki

[dreamy perch]

Hello, I have a question, around in the morning, my ping is very good but around evening my ping reaches 145+ MS, has anyone experienced this before?

This happens everyday for me

[sand kettle]

guys what ammo you use with terminus and terminus shorty?

[trim dove]

Can they add slider for field of view on console

[dawn zinc]

[prime lake]

ty

[remote moss]

didnt notice but looks like the bp skins are actually pretty good this time around

a lot of the best skins add shit to the base model and theyre going in hard on it

[dawn zinc]

I'm easily pleased with weapon skins in general but yeah this event has had some quality work

[acoustic imp]

the mmr in this game is so fucked

19 kills, 3 deaths across 3 games

i go down

???

[upbeat lark]

Me chilling in 2-3*

[untold stag]

I wish I was a 3*

6* lobbies are trash and boring

[upbeat lark]

I'm not good enough to be above 3

One time a solo 5* is in my lobby and he wiped the floor on my team

We win solely cause we did a pinching maneuver on him

[untold stag]

stars should be based off k/d not how it is currently, its trash

[dawn zinc]

stars being based on K/D would be horrendous

[untold stag]

not rlly

[dawn zinc]

SO much camping and ratting. People complain about that enough as it is

It would just make people scared to fight and the game would be boring

you'd get people killing 2 people and extracting

[untold stag]

lol not rlly, I say it should still be based of k/d

[dawn zinc]

Also you'd get people who are actually good at the game but have a low K/D because of their beginner hours who just stomp people in their MMR

You'd have new players with high K/D in 6 star

wouldn't make sense

[untold stag]

bro people who are trash will have low stars and good people will have high stars, it rlly isnt that crazy to grasp

[remote moss]

a lot of the current high kd players are playing at lower than a 1.5KD skill level, they just have old KD from when players were worse at the game and got farmed

recent kd based mmr aint shit

[dawn zinc]

K/D isn't the best indicator of skill

[remote moss]

still better the way we have it now than anything involving KD in a rat body camping game like hunt

if i didnt let myself get ressed and just abandoned my team in games, id be rocking an effective KD of 3, just because im a little bitch

i really wish they'd stop reviving me in front of the other team tho

[dawn zinc]

I'm not amazing at the game but my K/D is skewed by my beginner hours when I was awful

So if you based mmr on K/D, how long would I be sat in 3* stomping new players before my K/D is good enough for a higher mmr?

The system we have now is decent, probably could be better but I never really see any issues with it

[mortal cove]

Hunt Showdown since patch 2.1, on the new engine, utilised Microsoft direct storage for more seamless asset streaming.

The requirement of that technology raises the minimum requirement to a Sata SSD.
Optimally you would use a NVMe drive.

@whole mist

[tranquil sail]

Hi, let's say im a good player.
I use free hunters and join matches and kill myself instantly.
I drop to the lowest MMR.
I now farm new people

You sniffin what im shittin?

[whole mist]

Thing is…that no longer works 😅

[tranquil sail]

Using the system they suggested it would

[mortal cove]

Yeah, this is just Hunt on a HDD, the drive is too slow to load in all the assets.

[mortal cove]

Also that AI „generated“ overview is bollucks

Play any modern game with direct storage and / or high read speed asset streaming like Alan Wake 2 and you will have massive issues on a HDD

[upbeat lark]

Is that umamusume

The gen z uma

[tranquil sail]

[mortal cove]

That both no longer works and it‘s been deemed a bannable offense to smurf in this way

So indeed, what you are suggesting is shit

[tranquil sail]

Did you read what I replied to

If MMR was K/D based people will smurf in any way they can

[dawn zinc]

K/D based MMR is possibly the worst system possible lol.
There would be situations where it's practically impossible to reach higher mmr but you're too good for the mmr your K/D suggests

[tranquil sail]

"Oh noes I walked into a immolator and died mister crytek"

"Easier lobbies pweese"

[mortal cove]

Well that‘s fair

K/D is also a poor indicator of how good you are in Hunt

There are people who can hold their own in low 6* with a 1.2 KDA lol

Simply because while their aim isn‘t best, they can have great map knowledge

[dawn zinc]

Literally me. My K/D is shit because my first few hundred hours I was playing while learning keyboard and mouse at the same time as learning a tough game lol

[pulsar vortex]

you can have 2kd just running romero in clash

[frozen obsidian]

Hello, guys can you tell me why people play hunt if trying to avoid all other players? No offense or smth, just want to know what they are thinking... just like serial killers you know, when you try to understand them

[dawn zinc]

What would the K/D requirements for each mmr bracket be? because I'm never getting my K/D above 1.5 ever, it's basically impossible at this point

[frozen obsidian]

Imagine you play hunt, enter match, do literally nothing, avoid players and loot leftovers and kill AI

[dawn zinc]

But if 1.2 was 3* then those 3* players are gonna have a bad time

[remote moss]

its the most efficient way to farm exp for most players

completing bp too

no wonder everyone was ratting in eu, had 3 duos in there

lmao

well, ratting hard like running away with mosin spitzer because they die in a real fight

[frozen obsidian]

so why they try to farm XP and speedrun? prestige? but what about having fun?

because PvP is best thing in this game and people skip it

[remote moss]

i mean, maybe for PvP players

but most pvp is just ratting and punishing peeks, very little skill and more testing how much patience you have

6 star gameplay is a joke

honestly more fun to skip it and chill and play hunt like one of those coop pve games

[frozen obsidian]

there are planty of co-op games about zombies and cothic theme... why hunt? Why ruin others experience?

[remote moss]

hunts special, fr fr

[dawn zinc]

People playing PvE doesn't ruin my experience as a PvP enjoyer but I don't get why you would ever play Hunt just for the PvE

[remote moss]

ive seen p100 pve players that queue intrios and do nothing but hide and farm ai

havent seen him around in a while but it made me fucking mad

lucky that teamkilling is against the rules, is what id say if i was a moral person

[dawn zinc]

Maybe when you're new to the game but after that the PvE is far too simple to be a fun PvE game

[remote moss]

whatever the reason, a few of them do exist

now then, time to continue explaining eu gameplay

fog so you cant see shit, people crouchwalking in the corn fields cause theyre scared

very fun and interesting engagements

hide in the field, hold angles until you see something cause the fields are all one way angles against anyone trying to move or push

6 star EU is the epitome of how hunt gets played

[thin patrol]

lol the idea of what 6* is in so many horrible players eyes is so twisted from the reality.

Most 6* do not hide in bushes, snipe, or any of this nonsense, and even if they do, theyre usually not that good, so you just push and kill them.

The real 6* gameplay is mosin spitzer dolche 4.6kd premade trios wiping teams in less than 10 seconds. They dont rat. They dont hide. They push you and headshot you the moment you're visible, your whole team, in 10 seconds.

[remote moss]

would you believe me if i told you i havent met a single trio meeting those expectations in this entire event

there are mosin spitzer teams with high kd but theyve just hid and run away

lol

[frozen obsidian]

@dawn zinc new? I'm talking about 5* + mate.... I would get for starters, I was the same at some point at first hours

they are doing this in 5 and 6 star

[remote moss]

only time i saw pushes were from premades that singled out players or pushed a 2v3 situation where its basically an autowin anyway

[wheat pilot]

I'm not a 6 star but I have a sneaking suspicion people exaggerate how many bush wookies there are over there because that's the annoying kind of player that stands out and you remember him when you meet one. Just like people often exaggerate how many cheaters there are because you remember them but not the average player who didn't stand out in any way.

[heavy finch]

Why are people in this game defending bleed ammo so much. Dont we all know its anti-fun and unfair to be fully disabled for a few seconds by only 1 type of ammo?

[dawn zinc]

Yeah I don't get it either but everyone enjoys the game in different ways and a lot of people struggle with money when prestiging so they just farm PvE

[remote moss]

depends on a lot of things, vast majority of my EU games have been very very slow and rat based

[heavy finch]

yup. EU is way more sweaty. i play US whenever they wake up.

[dawn zinc]

My sneaking suspicion is that a lot of people complain about bush wookies because they were being noisy and someone set up an ambush. Most of the time I get killed by people in bushes it's because they heard us and just decided to wait for an easy kill

It's really easy to set up an ambush if you hear a team a compound away, check the map and see the route they are likely to be taking

[pulsar vortex]

test it for yourself

join a game, suicide and spectate

khalamity does this a lot, bush wookies are extremely prevalent in these games

it's especially bad in 6* because the best ones end up staying in that mmr with this tactic

[dawn zinc]

We heard a team at Darin and banish was at Seven Sisters so we waited in the trees outside Fort Bolden to ambush and they probably got annoyed that we were bush camping. It just makes sense to eliminate a team you know will be coming and are easy pickings before choosing a fight with a bounty team

[pulsar vortex]

when they do not belong anywhere near that mmr if you get within 50m of them

[untold stag]

it takes 6 decoys to kill a water devil

[wheat pilot]

As I said I'm not a 6 star so I can't just test it because I'm not in 6-star lobbies. Just saying that this sounds similar to the cheater complaints where people think there are tons of cheaters but the reality is you simply focus on the cheaters and don't really notice "normal" players.

And as Jordica added, often times when you encounter a "bush wookie" it's actually just someone who heard you and decided to ambush you. You can't know for sure how long they have been sitting in that bush

[ancient cave]

for me it's not like ambushes

it's people find a spot and they refuse to do anything ever

[remote moss]

thats about it

[ancient cave]

now when they aren't fully covered it actually helps you because even the simplest rotates now work on them because they are now THAT used to nobody doing anything

[remote moss]

yeah its great if you can find space to push

problem is, theres always a mosin spitzer team camping the very edge

not even trying to contest or 3rd party rush compound, just trying to 3rd party anyone trying to do something

always something stopping you from actually poking and prodding some shitters camping out the boss compound, forcing you to stalemate

[dawn zinc]

I rarely encounter it outside of bounty compound camping but that's been part of the game forever and will never change

if a team is sat doing nothing and you also do nothing you're just the same really

[mortal torrent]

i just use pringfield dumdum ammo

pushing is always a bad idea

[dawn zinc]

You have to play expecting all kinds of playstyles and be able to adapt

If you meet a camper and it forces you to also camp then you can work on being a better attacker

or be patient

[remote moss]

yeah naw. one of the main things youll notice is that a lot of fights involve little to no skill in 6 star. its a matter of whos in the open or does something as stupid as peek. a deliberate choice of someone trying to play the game and rotate, instead of playing safe and skirting around safe places they can be ressed. a lot of my server wipes arent because i was good at the game, but cause someone thought pushing or peeking without advantage was a good idea in a game like hunt

[cursive furnace]

I've been 6 stars for years and people camp bushes like it's the Vietnam war all over again

[dawn zinc]

I'd argue that your movement, positioning and map knowledge are all part of the skill

[wheat pilot]

Okay but that's just playing safe and being good at the game.... You were talking about rats and bush wookies, that's a different thing.

[dawn zinc]

what other skills can you have in Hunt besides aim?

[remote moss]

what? i dont think holding an angle makes me good at the game, lol

rats are just this safe gameplay extended to super rat business where they dont even dare to peek, just holding tight angles with shotty. or long range with long ammo and running away if people close the gap

and yeah bushes are one of their best tools whenever they have access to it. too many one way angles if youre trying to clear it out without good coordination

its why forest rats are so hard to flush out

[low raptor]

@mortal cove Could you explain to me again if you got time, which Models for DLSS do what and which is the best to use when focusing on performance first, yet with the best possible image?

And how to use the new version?

[frozen current]

guys i hit 1000 melee kills :D

[low raptor]

just don't run at me mate

you can hit how much you want but just don't run at me right

[normal kayak]

immo was genuinely zooted idk

[low raptor]

he was concerned about your chances on defense

[remote moss]

finally, i dropped to 5 star

at last, my true rank

[cobalt gate]

Where do you see that?

[mortal cove]

First question I have in regard to that is what GPU you have and what resolution you wanna utilise DLSS?

Because it‘s a „it depends“ on these 2 questions

[normal kayak]

only place to see your mmr is end of match team summary

[remote moss]

ngl, all i had to do was constantly die and get ressed by my team

pretty easy to derank

[rocky citrus]

Wait, guys, it's 2026 already, why haven't we seen any Android or iOS games developed using the CryEngine engine?🤔

[frozen current]

DLAA for image quality. DLSS for frames. "ultra performance mode" for best frames

[lavish bear]

js upgrade ur pc atp bro

[dense girder]

RTX 2080 Super, my Monitor is 1440p

[dense girder]

I'd rather use my money more wisely

[lavish bear]

alr pay off a dev so i can catch the unban pls pls🥹

[mortal torrent]

watch hornet on 60 fps

he still dominate

[lavish bear]

last time i saw a hornet video

he missed like 15 times in a row

i was crying in my chair

[left orbit]

what in the...

[mortal cove]

For the aging 2080 Super I recommend DLSS 4 preset K

[cobalt gate]

Thx

[mortal cove]

DLSS4.5 preset M while higher quality, will cost too much on the olde 2080S

@dense girder Imo this will be the best trade-off between quality and fps for you

DLSS preset K with a custom 75% resolution scale

75% scale is higher quality than DLSS Quality mode, but doesn't cost nearly as much as trying to run DLAA mode

To give context, DLSS Quality internally renders at 960p or 44% of the total pixel input of 1440p.

DLSS 75% renders at 1080p or 56.25% of the total pixel input of 1440p.

[dense girder]

Thank you very much, I will give it a try 👍

I don't need to launch Hunt through the NVIDIA app to apply those settings, right?

[mortal cove]

No

[dense girder]

Ingame settings won't matter right? As my ingame DLSS setting is still set to Ultra performance mode

But they are just overritten i suppose (As the name implies)

[mortal cove]

If you set a 75% custom scale, then it doesn't matter if you set DLSS in Hunt to Ultra Performance or DLAA mode, it will always run at 75%

If you want to use the quality modes avaible in Hunt Then you need to go back into the NV APP, remove the custom resolution scale and restart the game

[dense girder]

👍

[mortal cove]

I would love to recommend you preset M, but your old hardware will have a way too hefty performance penalty from it

[dense girder]

My eyesight is pretty bad today, but it does look better than before with K and 75% 👍

Hasn't crashed so far neitherrr

[sick bramble]

how to enable dlss 4.5 in hunt though?

[mortal cove]

vs 2TX SMAA or Hunts standard DLSS implementation?

[mortal cove]

@sick bramble Same as this, but instead of preset K you select preset M

[sick bramble]

so just change the preset from k to m?

[mortal cove]

I highly recommend owning a 40 or 50 series card for that though. THAT or a 3090 / 3090ti

DLSS preset M relies on FP8.

20 and 30-series GPUs do not have FP8, so they need to emulate DLSS4.5 through INT8

[sick bramble]

can i use dlss 4.5 with preset k?

[mortal cove]

It will default to DLSS 310.5.2 anyways in both instances

But preset M is the 2nd gen transformer model, preset K is the first gen model

[sick bramble]

ok so changing to preset M will automatically enable dlss 4.5 for me in hunt?

[dense girder]

Uhh, compared to just using ingame DLSS with ultra performacne mode and no Anti-Aliasing

[mortal cove]

Correct

[sick bramble]

im on a 3080 btw, will give it a try

[mortal cove]

Ultra Performance mode just for your information renders the game at 33% scale or 11% input resolution.

In which case you were rendering at 480p.

lol

You were HEAVILY nerfing image quality

[dense girder]

Good lord

[mortal cove]

Do not be suprised though that you probably need to run DLSS4.5 preset M performance mode to get similar framerates as DLSS4 preset K Quality mode in the case of the 3080.

[sick bramble]

yeah ultra performance will shit on image quality

[dense girder]

Welp, gotta get that 144 frames somehow

[mortal cove]

Well, not at that heavy of a cost to image quality, that ain't worth it

[sick bramble]

ik i'll give it a try

[mortal cove]

But preset K at 75% will still give you a solid boost to performance vs 2TX SMAA on your 2080S @dense girder

Should be around 30% faster while also giving you better image quality than 2TX SMAA

[sick bramble]

does anyone here run the graphics settings at ultra for everything? it ridiculously reduces fps compared to high

[mortal cove]

I run the Ultra preset as a baseline, but lower Object quality to Very High, Shadow Quality and Fog Quality to High

That will give you most of the avaible performance lowering settings from the Ultra preset

[sick bramble]

yeah i meant everything ultra

like literally

[dense girder]

2TX SMAA is what exactly? Isn't that just Anti-Aliasing, or am i mixing something up?

[mortal cove]

Nah I would have to run 4K DLSS preset M Performance mode to get satisfying fps from that.

I run 4K DLSS preset M Quality mode + Ultra preset with Objects to Very High, Shadows and Fog to High

Gives me ~180-240fps

[sick bramble]

wtf and you're on a 5090 lol, why is it so demanding

[mortal cove]

It's the highest normal anti-aliasing mode in Hunt

[woven cape]

Luuuuuuuuuuuu

[sick bramble]

crytek went can it run crysis mode with the ultra settings preset

[mortal cove]

As far as I am aware, the shadow setting is as demanding as it is on Ultra because they disable shadow cacheing entirely, you get higher quality shadows that way without any artifacts, but you do pay the price.

It's a scalability setting so the game ages better on more powerful future hardware.

[sick bramble]

yeah true

[mortal cove]

If you want the "reasonable" High fidelity settings that work well on current hardware, the Very High preset exists.

[dense girder]

I see, well I can't run those anyways ll

[mortal cove]

And well, High preset in Hunt 2.X still looks considerably better than the old High preset did in Hunt 1.16 xD

Imo if you want similar fidelity to Hunt Showdown 1.16 Then the medium preset in Hunt 2.X tracks pretty closely to that, while performing imo consideraby better.

[mortal cove]

Also! Henlo Marsh

[frozen current]

o.o

is this tech support hour

[trail spade]

While we are on tech support

How many players do you think Crytek can realistically add to a game ?

[dawn zinc]

Do you mean per match? I think 15

[trail spade]

Per match yes

[dawn zinc]

But i actually think they will add space for another 2 players

meaning there's space for a duo or two solo players

[frozen current]

realistically they can probably make it a hundred player lobby like "similar" games do

but they probs wont

[trail spade]

No they cant

[dawn zinc]

I don't think 100 is realistic in Hunt

[frozen current]

u dont think so?

[trail spade]

That isn't realistic, no.

[frozen current]

o.o

[trail spade]

I think 1 more trio would make sense

[dawn zinc]

Most likely will be another trio. I think making it 14 would be interesting though because it would force the matchmaking to put more duo's and solo players into trio games

making the fights more varied

[trail spade]

Duos and solos ruin mmr tho its all over the place

[upbeat lark]

im so bad with the bow golly

so imma do a challenge to use only bow for the prestige

[wraith forum]

mmr is secondary

thats why its no longer visible in lobby or on profile.

only on the last match tab

😉

[trail spade]

[wraith forum]

[dawn zinc]

True but making space specifically for a duo team or two solo players in trios could actually help. Currently if the matchmaking can't find an open slot for a duo or solo queuing into their respective mmr it will expand the range making it seem a bit unfair at times

Not sure what difference it would make for duo's vs duo's though

If those extra spaces in trios are specifically reserved for a duo or two solo's I can see it balancing the matchmaking a bit

[trail spade]

Duo vs duo is 3rd party heaven even right its actually insane how chaotic fights get

1 more duo just adds to that

[dawn zinc]

But if they made lobbies 15 man then there would be an extra duo AND a solo anyways

[trail spade]

Not saying that is a bad thing, just saying it will be more of the same

[trail spade]

Yep exactly

[dawn zinc]

14 person lobbies would mean only an extra duo or two solo

I think 14 is actually most likely what it will be thinking about it

[trail spade]

I dont know if people play trio or duo more but I would wager its trios. I think 1 more trio is the way to go but I am happy with just more players

[dawn zinc]

One more trio would be insane for duo's vs duo's, I can't see it

You'd be adding another team AND space for an extra solo player

[trail spade]

Yeah but they might just not care depending on populations for each mode

I dont know how many play duos or trios so I cant argue

They could just do 1 duo or 1 trio depending on mode :P

[dawn zinc]

It'll be interesting to see how it affects the game whatever they do

I had a trios game the other day that was my trio, 4 duo's and a solo. First time I've ever seen it and the game felt pretty mental

More teams is going to bring some chaos

[trail spade]

Its funny because trios I feel need 1 more team. Its usually boring but duos feels insane if everyone is in the same place

[left orbit]

so monitor manufacturers are shoving AI in monitors to… "learn & cheat singleplayer only"

cool

[trail spade]

I had a insane game yesterday where all but 1 team were in 1 compound and while pushing in we found out 1 of the dudes inside was a different team

Pennyringer is so busted tho I got 5 kills with it

[trail spade]

AI will make people write their own cheats and that will be actually disgusting

[left orbit]

not sure the amount of AI knowledge to write such tech is there yet, or even as good quality as what you can buy and is maintained to avoid detection

lmao i got mugged by 3 immolators at the same time

[frozen current]

it is

[trail spade]

I died to 7 dogs and 2 immolators a few weeks back

Actually made me angy

[left orbit]

LMFAO that’s what the game "rewards" me with right after getting mugged to death XDXDXD

[left orbit]

fully automated with no knowledgeable person to drive it? look i can’t get those agents to produce stuff that’s not just a tech debt bomb waiting to blow up even for simple web page/service, so something as sofisticated as avoiding cheat detection i have my doubts

[trail spade]

I was just thinking AI helps writting cheats

Way more realistic

[left orbit]

that i’m fine with

[trail spade]

There was a post on the subreddit a few years ago where a dude wrote his own hacks for Hunt in like 2 hours

[left orbit]

huh

[trail spade]

Im not knowledgeable on this topic enough but I think AI will be the next big thing in both cheats and cheat detection..

Its way easier to look at the data with AI than with a human. It could scan thousands of accounts and notice weird stuff

[trail spade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/comments/15lxlli/i_wrote_a_cheat_for_hunt_from_scratch_to_see_if/

You need to have another hunter

[paper anvil]

oh

thx

[trail spade]

[left orbit]

"i despise cheaters and even people that need a guide to play a video game" damn

[trail spade]

Now this is from 2 yrs ago so mby and hopefully they improved their AC

[warm quest]

game stopped responding while i was cooking a dynamite

[fathom shale]

I faintly remember this, as far as I know this was back when there was an issue with being able to "overload" your drive that the game was installed on so that it didn't have time to fetch things to render and this guy acted like he's a super cool hacker man that cracked the anticheat when in reality he just did that

I think it was literally just something along the lines of a script that kept moving big files between drives or something like that, but even if he did do more (even though he never shared proof other than yapping about it) that's not how anticheats even work most of the time. They are databases of known cheats with some real time tampering protection, obviously if someone finds a way past that in some private new cheat that will work with any anticheat

[left orbit]

rotjaw is horribly bugged and assassin ain’t fixed

[remote moss]

i wonder if anyone noticed that they stealth updated hunt at least 3 times this event

[dawn zinc]

What's wrong with Rotjaw?

[opal dawn]

Can take a long time for her to come back up after initial rage phase

[left orbit]

i’ll send the clips here after we extract. it’s just ridiculous

[dawn zinc]

I get the assassin bug from time to time where it just gets stuck

[mystic mulch]

I've seen that one.

Thankfully he stayed in a nice warm patch of fire for me.

[dense girder]

Guy misses every shot while levering in cqc and proceeds to yell "ya lucky bastard" lol

[mystic mulch]

He he wrong?

[young panther]

good question

[left orbit]

flamethrower and spoders yeah
what else?

[young panther]

new boss

[left orbit]

new boss??

[opal dawn]

Wha? What new boss?

[young panther]

[opal dawn]

What a troll, trollcor

[young panther]

it's a stealth update for a reason

[opal dawn]

Potential death cheat, rotjaw must always be hunted

[trail spade]

[fathom shale]

Weird, only issues I've had were some where she stopped resurfacing until we left and came back

[left orbit]

couldn’t care less about that either

[fathom shale]

And the obvious charge attack 1m away from you

[opal dawn]

damn, built different

[trail spade]

I played with a guy yesterday that had the bayou rot, straight up said he doesnt pick up death cheat

[fathom shale]

But never seen delays with the attacks like that

[trail spade]

He had such weird takes but it was funny

Like terminus is useless with levering ????

[opal dawn]

wtf, it's borderline useless without

[trail spade]

Ikr ???

Then the other dude played only terminus to prove him wrong xD

[wheat pilot]

Isn't levering just a straight upgrade in every aspect

how could it be worse with levering

[trail spade]

He didnt say worse he said its just bad even with it

[wheat pilot]

ohh

[trail spade]

Or that he would play subsonics more than HV because HV is "useless"

And should be removed

As I said he has bayou rot

[opal dawn]

That's a strange individual

[left orbit]

pretty much yeah

if ya not having levering then slate or spectre are just better

[trail spade]

Tbh all of these are whatever

The only real one was not picking up death cheat

"Because it doesnt help in combat and its useless ????"

[opal dawn]

Cuz saving your traits after a failed run is bad

[left orbit]

that one’s a bit weird 🤔

[trail spade]

Ikr ???

[dense girder]

I mean, if you want the best pvp loadout/traits and you don't care about losing your hunter, that's a valid take

[trail spade]

And we literally died next round

And won the round after due to having the traits remain LOL

[whole furnace]

Ngl after hitting p100, death cheat have become MUCH less of an excitement to find lol

[trail spade]

It makes sense when you have like full traits or near full and really dont care

But on a first match hunter and its a free DC.. why not take it like ????

Then again he has 6k hours and 700k in the bank so at that point I guess it really doesnt matter

[whole furnace]

Depends, for free sure, but 3 pledgemarks? Eh

I'm still trying to get the golden deck full of aces badge, so death cheat is nice in that regard.

[dense girder]

Speaking of the devil

[trail spade]

Im still debating if I should keep prestieging to 100 or stop at 10 :P

[opal dawn]

Stop at 11, get the 10% xp boost

[trail spade]

Doesnt 11 give 100 BBs ?

[opal dawn]

Then stop at 12

[trail spade]

Doesnt 11 to 20 give stuff

Lol

[opal dawn]

Then stop at 21

[whole furnace]

At least go to 20 imo
It is fine to take breaks too.

[trail spade]

Hmm ye you got a point

[whole furnace]

All gas until that lvl

[trail spade]

Then again I dont really mind prestieging.. at best I lose like 5 devil cards I collected for nitro but those arent hard to get

[dense girder]

I'd love to get to P100 for that mosin skin, but im at P24 and im only playing once a week if at all, ain't no way Im gonna reach P100 in my lifetime

[upbeat lark]

the katana is already here so why not add the ultimate weeb weapon the naginata as a 3 slot scarce mele weapon

bad idea this is

[trail spade]

Longsword first

With its own martialist like perk ofc

[whole furnace]

I could get 1 level of prestige per session.
So 76 weeks for you :V
That is like... 1.5 year.

[upbeat lark]

that fits more as a 2slot tbh

unless that longsword is that big ass one that i forgot the name of

[whole furnace]

Crytek doesn't have the imagination to make melee weapons 2-slots again lol

[wheat pilot]

Per session?

[dense girder]

😭

[wheat pilot]

how long are your sessions lol

[upbeat lark]

oof

[remote moss]

give us a 2 slot bo staff, we got room for two slot melees now

[whole furnace]

Eeeeh.. varied, but around 5-6 hours.

[dense girder]

But then I also wouldn't "waste" my rare sessions grinding prestige, so yeah. Or do you just play regularly without focusing on farming ai for example?

[copper pier]

Taking your sweet time huh cupcake

My prestige takes me 30 mins

[dense girder]

lmao

[upbeat lark]

my prestige take

half a week

[wheat pilot]

I prestige every match

[whole furnace]

Only thing you need to do is use pledges on Hunter EXP and death cheat.
And sometimes I would park hunters that was lvl 42+ for some solo AI farm if it didn't seem like I was gonna prestige this evening.

[upbeat lark]

in hours im not sure but likely 12h

[whole furnace]

Had one day where I got 2.5 prestige done in 8 hours.

It was bonkers

[whole furnace]

I know, I'm a confirmed fake hunt fan 👊 😔

[dense girder]

jeez

[dawn zinc]

God I despise recovery shots so god damn much

What an awful addition to the game

[upbeat lark]

not as horrendus as the revive bolts back then but yea i feel your pain

[copper pier]

Real men hike their asses to Circus

Or start a banishing

[dawn zinc]

I think recovery packs at the 17th compound and random supply wagons is enough restoration. Being able to buy shots is just horrible

Rare chance to loot them too would be okay

[whole furnace]

And people want to merge tools and consumables together, not realizing it would just mean more recovery shots lol

[upbeat lark]

4 toolbox

loadout

seems fun to use

[copper pier]

I wish you could take like 4 spears

[upbeat lark]

too broken

[dawn zinc]

I think merging them is a good idea. merge them and make recovery shots scarce

[upbeat lark]

2 is already broken enough

[copper pier]

Borrrrinnngggg

Imagine the clips…

[upbeat lark]

true

[vapid charm]

What do you guys think is a good pairing with the winfield (Ranger 73 nowadays) It does close range w levering and distance so I want to hear what you guys think is a good pairing

[whole furnace]

Would be an awful idea lol.
People are just gonna drop their melee tools and chokes for more regenshots and ammoboxes (and recovershots, but I play along with your idea of them being scarce)

[whole furnace]

Handcrossbow

[copper pier]

Holy shit recovery bolt

[upbeat lark]

officer

[vapid charm]

yeah sometimes i pair a winnie w a winnie vandal just to have more ammo

[upbeat lark]

that works too

fresh hunter i just use ranger and officer both with high velo

fmj should be better tho

high velo casue of my lack of skills

[whole furnace]

ahem
!!24 FIREBEETLES!!

[upbeat lark]

if fmj then the new army or conversion

[vapid charm]

I don't really use winnie much anymore after the centenial buffs but I mostly just run reguar ammo so I can shoot like hell

[upbeat lark]

3 people with windfield and wall bang the whole house

[vapid charm]

ha yeah i used to run 2 chain pistols and a winnie all w FMJ dump the chain pistols get the ammo back and have over 100 shots in reserve w the winnie swift, you could shoot for days

[upbeat lark]

oh my

holy shit na servers so dead rn might aswell hop on eu

what are you even saying

[mortal basin]

Died to bear 😭

[cursive magnet]

skill issue

[remote moss]

it was, fr

heard it nearby but didnt hear it coming at me at all

and a bad eu rat team escapes again, damn

[cursive magnet]

i understand the frustration because getting beared in a fight absolutely sucks

but if you are semi aware, it's never going to happen. boi is loud

[remote moss]

bear is fucking stupid, its balanced around pennyshot farming it

waste of ammo, maybe easy with throwing tools cause spear is broken

[cursive magnet]

speaking of

thats what you get

cant stack op burn traits anymore

as a flank rusher myself, maynard sniper silencer fulfills the role incredibly well

well, fuck anyone that rats with it. dunno how youre supposed to catch one

It's not overpowered, just an absolute nuisance that shouldn't exist

A silent sniper was a meme for ages

[dense sleet]

i wish i liked scopes bc that can feel clean as fuck getting some dinkers, but using scopes messes with my distance math and especially my lead time

[remote moss]

its really good in randoms, they dont know which direction they got shot from and you get some free kill farming at no risk

[random nimbus]

Because most people realize that it's a bad idea to give a long range weapon silent utility

[remote moss]

fr, i wish i could use deadeye

[dense sleet]

only one i play is the sparks sniper, mainly bc of hte skin but the hipfire is tight asf so i can cqc if i need too

[dense sleet]

yea you are alone in that

i think deadeye is worthless personally

but each their own

[random nimbus]

DE feels much better now

[dense sleet]

i genuinely, just hate the actual sight itself

[remote moss]

it feels bad for me cause its slower to spot a target when youre entering ads compared to irons

[random nimbus]

I dislike the zoom loss, but the movement penalty being removed was huge for it

[heavy hedge]

Does pitcher work with throwing knives and axes??

[remote moss]

otherwise, i do like the better visibility

[remote moss]

no?

[dense sleet]

and i think the zoom gain isnt much of a benefit to lose cqc abillity for

[heavy hedge]

Yeah I thought so too

[dense sleet]

no, just look up to throw farther

[random nimbus]

DE now has like...no zoom at all now

[dense sleet]

its like, 1.25

[heavy hedge]

I was just wondering, thanks

[dense sleet]

ie, basically fucking nothing

[random nimbus]

I liked it better before they reduced it

[remote moss]

theres a reason the best zoom in most games is 2x, covers the most distance and its still usable up close

marksman is some ez shit, havent used it in a while though

[opal dawn]

Deadeye is also not worth it now since we have crackshot at the circus

[dense sleet]

marksman is easier to use than sniper to me

[random nimbus]

I think most people prefer marksman over sniper

I prefer Sniper because I ran sparks sniper for ages

[dense sleet]

berthier is kinda spicey

[opal dawn]

Love me lebel marksman

[dense sleet]

yea i ran it for a while

Pallbearers Mark is such a nice skin, so it makes it more enjoyable xD

[random nimbus]

Lebel Marksman was the go to sweat sniper for a while

Good mix of close and long range

[opal dawn]

If you could alternate between irons and the scope, that'd bring it back in style

[mortal basin]

Would be op

[dense sleet]

t hat would be too much lol

[opal dawn]

It kinda would

[mortal basin]

No kinda

[dense sleet]

zero disadvantage

[remote moss]

lets keep it op

[random nimbus]

Drop kinda killed most scopes, imo

[dense sleet]

not really tho

[remote moss]

i fucking love scopes, my problem with long range is visibility and marksman and sniper fucking makes it go crazy

[random nimbus]

Slap spitzer on your boltie and you're fine in 90% of fights

[dense sleet]

it just made it tot where you cannot stand giga meters away and just wait for them to loot

[remote moss]

feels fine at 100m, which is the normal long ammo bodyshot range anyway

if youre trying to push someone with sniper, thats about the range youll always be at, maybe 150 or so

[dense sleet]

100-120 is prime long ammo sniper range anyways

[random nimbus]

After playing scopes for so long and now using irons at longer ranges, I prefer irons

Easier to snap, not slowed down, and drop is irrelevant on the relevant guns

[remote moss]

after playing with irons for so long in a game like hunt where visibility is complete utter garbage, i like the scope advantage

[mystic mulch]

I really don't think so? after figuring out the distance gauge it's super easy to account for the drop.

[dense sleet]

kinda just you then about the visilbility part tbh

[mystic mulch]

Assuming you're even fighting at a distance where there's drop to account for.

[remote moss]

im also on low res so long range is a huge struggle just because i cant see shit, more than bad leading or aim, which is funny

[random nimbus]

You mean the scope drop marker? That's not really useful imo

[remote moss]

i literally cant see a regular hunter if they stand still in a cluttered area

[dense sleet]

ive onl actually used it once, but it did help

[random nimbus]

If you're at the ranges drop starts to really matter, it can really suck to account for because it's so harsh on long ammo

[dense sleet]

again, just you

im not saying ive missed the standing still hunter before

but you make it sound way more worse than it actually is

[remote moss]

again, hunt visibility is as bad as i say it is

you guys just have better monitors and high enough resolution that its not that bad, fr

[dense sleet]

but you made a general statement at first

[mystic mulch]

I mean. As long as you're under 200meters you can get the gauge quickly.

[dense sleet]

not just personal bias

[random nimbus]

I wouldn't say that's Hunt's issue tho

[dense sleet]

hence why i corrected

[remote moss]

correct deez

[dense sleet]

i could

wanna meet?

[mystic mulch]

[remote moss]

no, i need to buy a bat first

[dense sleet]

i have quite a few

and knives, and guns, and i even have a skull gauntlet with blades on it

[remote moss]

give us an in house reshade

thatd make hunt better

[dense sleet]

reshade isnt gonna help if yo uplay at such a low resolution

just saying

those programs tends to TAKE AWAY fps

[random nimbus]

One thing I find ironic is that the Lebel has the better drop but it's far easier to hit with Mosin and even Mako at drop ranges because of the sights

[mystic mulch]

The worst part, I think, is that the bullet drop rate seems to be entirely fixed to distance and not gravity.

[dense sleet]

thats just personal bias tbh

i dont like anything about hte mako besides the sound

[random nimbus]

Probably. They did explicitely say they gamed the drop for long ammo for balance reasons

[dense sleet]

it jsut SOUNDS like a fucking long ammo weapon

[remote moss]

mako sights are the best long ammo sights by far in terms of visibility

[dense sleet]

they literally inverted gravity xD

[random nimbus]

Try the sights side by side in the shooting range. You quite literally cannot see a target at 180m on the lebel while you can on the Mako

[remote moss]

lebel aint shiiit

[mortal cove]

Well ye

[opal dawn]

Mako sights are decent and it's a fairly fast gun with iron eye

[dense sleet]

i just dont like hte irons on the mako

[opal dawn]

I don't like it, I take the berth over it but

[mystic mulch]

After seeing what the drop looks like with Incendiary ammo, It simply looks wrong. Don't like it.

[random nimbus]

That's fair, but the Lebel sights are extremely poor for dealing with drop compared to the other bolties

[dense sleet]

the only thing i give mako credit for, is that its better fthan the match xD

[random nimbus]

Which is ironic since it has the best drop

[mystic mulch]

I think I prefer the older system to this.

[random nimbus]

I forget that junk exists

[opal dawn]

I haven't seen a single obrez match since it was introduced

[dense sleet]

interesting, i dont think ive ever noticed that before. but tbh im not shooting with irons past 120m anyways

unless the guy is standing still i tend to not bother

[mystic mulch]

The Lebel front sights have always been chunky. That said, they're noticably thinner now.

[random nimbus]

I'm guilty of taking shots thinking I might hit it and just giving us away XD

[long eagle]

Hey guys, I got banned from Hunt Showdown even though I didn't cheat. Can someone help me? Does anyone know why this happened?

[opal dawn]

#customer-support

[random nimbus]

They thinned them out when 2.0 came out

[opal dawn]

Nobody in here can help

[random nimbus]

There would be no way to account for drop with the old lebel sights

[dense sleet]

they trimmed it up with 2.0

[mystic mulch]

maybe they should let us zero the sights for distance smh.

[dense sleet]

its basically a mosin front post now

[long eagle]

I wrote to them on their website for help, but they didn't answer. Even after doing this two or three times, the result is still the same.

[mystic mulch]

naw the mosin front post is stupidly thin.

Nothing reaches that.

[dense sleet]

did you load up the game and it said "banned for cheating" with a crycloud error?

[random nimbus]

I couldn't see the Mosin post before I got my glasses

[mystic mulch]

I can't see it with glasses.

[dense sleet]

bro honestly, Vet Silenced Irons best in the game, too bad hte gun was brutalized bc of the Krag Silencer

[cursive magnet]

the four supply carts per map

[random nimbus]

I personally love the Mako sights, same with the Krag

Krag is just smaller Mosin sights tho

[remote moss]

krag, mako, marathon. all the newish guns have really good sights

[long eagle]

Yes, yes, I came across the same message, but I swear I wasn't cheating. I have absolutely no connection to cheating or selling anything. @dense sleet

[cursive magnet]

I kinda hate the newer iron sights

[opal dawn]

Why? They're super visible

[cursive magnet]

I was once a lebel enthusiast until they gave it new iron sights, they're awful

[mystic mulch]

Not my favorite change.

[random nimbus]

They had to change the lebel sights tho

[remote moss]

give it 2 years, theyll let us customize how iron sights look

[cursive magnet]

Don't see why

[remote moss]

would honestly be one of the coolest fucking changes

[random nimbus]

Bullet drop

[cursive magnet]

Still don't see why

[dense sleet]

did you try a restart of the game? computer? verify files through steam? CryCloud Errors usually are just bugged startup elements and are easily remedied

and dw i dont think you are cheating lol, it just happens sometimes

[mystic mulch]

They didn't have to do that.

[random nimbus]

Because it would be impossible to account for any drop with the old sights that couldn't be seen through

[remote moss]

tbh, if youre leading for bullet drop, youre seeing them in your peripherals instead of the actual sights

[random nimbus]

The Lebel is already the worst boltie to account for drop with even with the updated sights

[cursive magnet]

Lebel was indirectly nerfed hard by the speed change of this game

[remote moss]

nothing like mosin stripper reload to carry it

[cursive magnet]

Everything is so fast now that it can't keep up

[mystic mulch]

I'm not convinced the bullet drop change was a net positive.

[random nimbus]

Before, you couldn't see between the posts at all, so there would be no way to account for drop

[random nimbus]

It wasn't.

[dense sleet]

why bc it reloads slow?

[cursive magnet]

Bullet drop was a worthless addition too, almost any firefights don't even require you to account for it.

[long eagle]

Yes, I did everything you said, but it still didn't work. @dense sleet

[cursive magnet]

Reload is fine, cycle time makes it uncompetitive

[random nimbus]

I wouldn't say that. It's just always been overshadowed by the Mosin

[dense sleet]

cycle time is literally .1s less than mosin btw

just uh

so you know

1.8 and 1.9

[opal dawn]

Yeah, there's hardly a difference between lebel and mosin

Not something that makes or breaks the fight

[random nimbus]

Funnily enough, someone mentioned there being a bug with the Cycle Times for mosin and lebel and they were right

[long eagle]

What do you think I should do? What can I do to open it, or will it open at all?
