[desert acorn]

I was frustrated with my less experienced friend, because he couldn't see the guy who was right in front of him. Then I saw the image... man, this camo is nuts in this environment.

[wide whale]

Auto 4 shorty and bow is wild. Why would you let your inexperienced friend pick some of the most unbalanced weapons in the game instead of having fun? 😭😅🤣

[desert acorn]

"Why would you let your friend have fun, instead of playing meta?"

My current loadout is bow/katana, or crossbow/katana.

We were inside. That's where you want to be with two short range weapons.

[wide whale]

Exactly. Why would you let them have fun.
Make them struggle to make the shitty weapons work because they look cool 🤣

[desert acorn]

He and I have a similar situation. We both mained melee first. Which makes shotgun easy mode

[acoustic imp]

because those are shit weapons yeah dude

[desert acorn]

I don't use shotguns. I've never once used auto. The exception is Terminus with levering, because it's ridiculous.

[acoustic imp]

the crown shorty us terrible

[desert acorn]

Bow ain't a shit weapon.

[acoustic imp]

im being sarcastic

both are insanely strong

[desert acorn]

oh... 🙂

OH! You meant unbalanced as in strong.

Thought you meant his loadout was unbalanced.

He picked it himself. He's been using awful weapons for awhile, and now he's not.

Bow requires skill and thought, and he's a thinker. He and I aren't great at gunplay, so OHK weapons are the way we lean

[wide whale]

We're just poking fun 🙄

[desert acorn]

Yeah... gets lost in text sometimes. Sorry if I was a douche about it.

I get defensive, I think, because I was so bad at this game for so long.

1k hours in, and I win more than I lose finally. My KD might get up to 1 some day. I was under .3 for my first 6 months of playing. You know how many mfers I had to kill to bring it up to .75?

[whole furnace]

To be fair and balanced, that is just hunt is now after the 2.0 update and the lighting changed

[desert acorn]

Well, I had no trouble seeing the guy, so I was confused. My sight is based on movement... 😉

[glad canopy]

rival 78 is the best shotgun in the game

[desert acorn]

I love the Rival. Because it's not OP, and requires skill. So actually I do use rival and romero shorty, usually hatchet. Also drilling.

And Lemats

[glad canopy]

crown and king is just a scam

its not even good

[desert acorn]

Well, I prefer slate and specter. The differene in RoF isn't that great, and more ammo

But Terminus with levering is a commitment, and I take pennyshot

Penninger increases ammo pool.

[glad canopy]

this is my favorite loadout rn

[left orbit]

9 kills with this. including a headshot with the dual lol

[left orbit]

i usually pair a shorty shotgun with the main rifle

romero for the spicy surprise

[glad canopy]

i find rival full sized better for me and the cent shorty is just really good in general

why is there so many avtomats in clash

😭

[acoustic imp]

??

[acoustic imp]

why dusters

[glad canopy]

crown and king isnt even a top 3 shotgun in the game and its so expensive

[frigid ibex]

dusters got buffed

[acoustic imp]

wait fr

[frigid ibex]

ye

[acoustic imp]

what changed

[frigid ibex]

you kill armoreds faster, everything else is one tap so most notably the armoreds

which you should just spear/throwing axe anyway

Idk if the immo changed, I always penny ringer them

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/throwing-a-molotov-bev-keane-joe-collie-samantha-sloyan-midnight-mass-gif-23603569

burn em

[whole furnace]

Yeah dusters are quite insane to deal with AI rn

Bc the damage got "normalized"

3 tap armored (sometimes 4), 2 tap dogs (1 for headshot).

[mortal basin]

Damn, 3-tap armored???

Power creep is real

[frigid ibex]

It's always been 1 for headshot

It got that when knife got headshot buff on dogs, which was MANY years ago

[mortal basin]

Crazy how much better dusters and KK are compared to when they were the meta picks back in the day. Couldn't leave home without them before, and now after being buffed (quite a bit), they're still not worth over bringing a throw melee

[frigid ibex]

Yeah that is funny

[whole furnace]

Then it got something else with the dogs, it basically made it much easier to manage dogs

[frigid ibex]

They are miles better than before but throwables just makes everything a cake walk

[mortal basin]

How far removed we are from old Hunt... 💔

[whole furnace]

The solution would be to remove melee from throwing weapons

[wicked yacht]

I was there when they added throwing knives

[frigid ibex]

We are right now at the crossroads

[whole furnace]

But also doesn't make sense when the game has a mechanic that you can melee with everything.

[wicked yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/growing-old-getting-old-grow-old-old-man-becoming-old-gif-17885988

[frigid ibex]

one leads to new hunt, the other is old hunt

We are in the middle right now where they both clash

[whole furnace]

We passed that crossroad years ago imo

[frigid ibex]

Not really, it's clashing more than ever

[mortal basin]

About to say lol

[urban steppe]

yeah but all of that is pointless imo
you still take like a small bar of dmg fighting armored

and can't deal with horses/cows

[mortal basin]

Disagree tbh. Game is insane rn

[whole furnace]

Naw, game has so many crutches atm.

[mortal basin]

Only remnants from old Hunt are Mosin Uppercut/Dolch

[frigid ibex]

They should just go ahead and increase the cycle speed on all weapons by at least 30%

[whole furnace]

Why do you take damage from armored?

[urban steppe]

concertina armorwed

[frigid ibex]

Game had many crutches before, quickswap is still insane crutch compared to new hunt's standard

[urban steppe]

if you are fighting concertina armor with knuckles

[whole furnace]

Lol, flarepistol, lmao

[urban steppe]

you lose enough hp to be 1 tapped by a long ammo gun

[mortal basin]

We should have an event where there's some rift in space time and Post Malone brings us full auto weapons with red dot sights

[urban steppe]

and give myself away
naw

who let this man cook

[whole furnace]

Because going "HURRGH!" 2-3 times doesn't?

[frigid ibex]

that's me

[urban steppe]

a throwing spear is silent 😼

[frigid ibex]

we are on same team

[urban steppe]

or quieter

[umbral ruin]

Also no recoil on Avto

[whole furnace]

Ah yes, the overtuned thing shockingly is much better lmao

[urban steppe]

😿

[whole furnace]

Also have fun vs. bees

[mortal basin]

Rifle two taps bees. It's really a non issue

Trauma one taps

[frigid ibex]

I am in shooting range, at 59m, aiming one head above the dummy fully charged to hit the uppertorso meanwhile nitro is just aiming at uppertorso

I forgot who I was going to reply to this

I like how it takes 5 seconds to check something in this game

But it's easier to make things up

[whole furnace]

Bow?

I mean wouldn't say my issues of the bow stems from its long range usage.

[frigid ibex]

Bow dealt 114 damage and nitro dealt 140+ with instant bleed tick

[whole furnace]

yeye

[frigid ibex]

It wasn't you so

I wish people stop saying bow is a better nitro

like you can say it's better than all the other one taps that's fine

just leave out the nitro?=

[wicked yacht]

Bow is a stick and string

[whole furnace]

Different weapons for sure.

[remote moss]

bow is better than nitro cause you can see what youre shooting at

[frigid ibex]

No, everyone just loves to say bow is a better nitro

Here's another fun thing

people like to say slug is better than nitro too

[frigid ibex]

I'm pretty sure you are able to hit things with a nitro

[merry jasper]

Anyone else feel like serpent is underrated, I can’t help but get all gitty and laugh when every once and a while I get to steal tokens from people

[remote moss]

slug just gives one tap shotguns a chance to two tap at distance, smh

actual competitive range

[frigid ibex]

nitro just one taps

[remote moss]

ok but its harrder

[frigid ibex]

I think it'd be more popular if it wasn't for all the 500 meta traits you must have

[whole furnace]

Issue is that it is basically redundant at higher MMR, people are rarely gonna let you serpent a bounty.
But serpent is important to enforce that rule.

[frigid ibex]

It's a really n ice thing to have but you can't bring it every match cause there's usually smoething more consistent you can get

[whole furnace]

That too

[merry jasper]

Who needs meta when you can yoink tokens once every 5 games

[whole furnace]

Less about meta and more about practical use

[frigid ibex]

I've honestly not touched much slugs since they buffed the shit out of buckshot, when does the deviation kick in? Is it super late like 60m? or earlier?

[wicked yacht]

Does Crytek post or have a request process for weapon pick rates over win/kill rates?

[remote moss]

was consistent at 30m when i was running slate slugs, should be above that probs

[frigid ibex]

Sadly crytek has all the data but doesn't share it

[remote moss]

i would check but im lazy

[whole furnace]

around 30m, after that deviation can fuck you over :)

[frigid ibex]

does long barrel vs medium barrel have different deviation?

[remote moss]

dunno that

that hidden barrel stat was stupid as fuck though

[whole furnace]

Nope, all deviation is the same (bar drop range).
Nitro, slugs, arrows, bolts, harpoons and whatnot deviates the same.

[frigid ibex]

arrows and bolts deviate??

[wicked yacht]

Until that data by patch is available most weapon discourse is entirely anecdotal

[frigid ibex]

Never noticed that

[remote moss]

i mean, training range exists so approximations and raw numbers are fine

[frigid ibex]

I have a feeling they think public data will skew the player numbers

I mean weapon usage numbers

[wicked yacht]

Having objective data to influence weapon choices

[frigid ibex]

People will more likely go meta picks

[wicked yacht]

Life imitates statistics

[remote moss]

rival is probably still underused compared to slate and specter

thats a good thing for meta not being detected

[frigid ibex]

If you have in front of you a top 5 that says this has highest usage and winrate

i believe people will go for it cause people hate losing

we are that simple

[whole furnace]

To be fair and balanced a lot of the community laughed at Crytek when they tried to defend the power of the Dolch being a non-issue bc "it only had a 2% pick-rate".

[frigid ibex]

It was 2% at high mmr so even lower

or what was it

[remote moss]

2%? never fucking felt like it

[frigid ibex]

they did include high mmr when they shared the data

I mean back when they said it, I met dolch every game

one team with only dolch, the other teams with uppercuts. There were no variety on the pistol side

Hunt has gone really far on variety for pistols

there used to be only Uppercut - > Dolch and then maybe.. Pax/Conversion?

Lemat was untouched. Nagant was lol. There was no other pistols besides officer and bornheim

[whole furnace]

It was just it had a 2% pick-rate.
But this was back in 2019 where not a lot of people could afford run Dolch every game.

[frigid ibex]

yeah and in 2019 I was prestiging crazy and I had to fight people with a nagant vs dolch

it was really bad

[whole furnace]

Also when it comes to problematic weapons and data, I know a lot of people who refuse use the over-tuned meta gun.

[frigid ibex]

Prestige in 2019 was, You can only pick Winfield or romero + Nagant. There were nothing else

[urban steppe]

this is blatantly false
pistols are mostly useless nowadays

people just run whatever is an ammo mule for their primary until they can get qmaster for an actual 2ndary that functions post bullet drop

[whole furnace]

So sometimes a weapon might not have the largest pick-rate, but doesn't mean people don't think it is fun or fair balanced.

[remote moss]

ye, lemat having 2 spare slugs is the only reason i use it for shotgun loadouts

[frigid ibex]

Pistols are useless in comparison to the 2slot mega buff. There's still more pistol variety compared to 2019

[urban steppe]

pistols aren't run anymore to complement a build
its just a stopgap until they get enough to qmaster

[frigid ibex]

Uppercut had insane pickrate in 2019

[whole furnace]

Dunno I mostly see Trueshots or Uppercuts.

[frigid ibex]

it was more than 50%

I don't remember whne quickswap got nerfed

i assume 2019

[urban steppe]

yeah, nothing has changed
it was always uppercut
and uppercut-lite

before trueshot everyone was on the spitfire

[charred hill]

Are servers down rn or is it just me?

[whole furnace]

I've said it before, Imma say it again, we want bad ammo economy, so greedy low-ammo loadouts cannot thrive.
Rn you can greed mosin + auto4 and never have ammo issues bc of deployable ammoboxes and whatnot.
I remember back in the day where people actually considered a conversion bc they liked to have a decent ammo pool for longer range fights if they ran a shotgun.

[frigid ibex]

Spitfire changed the pistol meta too for the better

[urban steppe]

it didn't at all

before everyone was using the officer

[frigid ibex]

Instead of only seeing uppercut, you saw uppercut mostly and some spitfire

[urban steppe]

after sptifire dropped

[frigid ibex]

it did change stuff

[urban steppe]

everyone moved to officer

[remote moss]

spitfire was slow enough that a lot of hunt vets could actually aim it, compared to always choking with officer and new army

[frigid ibex]

nah

officer was only used as an ammo pool for officer carbine

[frigid ibex]

unironically true

[urban steppe]

it didn't
if we are evaluating pistols based on their niche

ie the budget spam blaster

the spitfire completely overshadowed the officer post launch imo

[whole furnace]

I play a lot of spitfire dum dum atm.
I never use it lmao

[frigid ibex]

Spitfire was available from level 1, if you instantly got a lot of xp first match

a good reason why it was seen a lot

[urban steppe]

moreover the fact that it just had better stats + access to dum dum

[frigid ibex]

not really

[urban steppe]

nah

[frigid ibex]

dumdum was added later wasnt' it

[urban steppe]

you could 2 tap guys with it in situations where you'd need 3 from the officer

dum dum only increased its effectiveness

[whole furnace]

Pax on the otherhand always been struggling to have a place and now Trueshot is kinda just doing everything.

[frigid ibex]

i disagree, fmj was literally the meta on spitfire.

FMJ meta lead to the fmj nerf

[urban steppe]

or that

[frigid ibex]

lets stick to what actually ahppened smh

[urban steppe]

I ran dum dum spitfire

[frigid ibex]

FMJ and HV lead to a big nerf

HV nerf is still feeling unjust

[urban steppe]

they gave a gun the best of every single stat outside of fanning speed which is irrelevant since everyone whose good at the game tapfires

instead of going BRRRRTY

[whole furnace]

HV nerfs were not unjust, they were THE ammo to pick on most compact rifles.

[frigid ibex]

No, the triple nerf was unjust

They could've applied 1/3 or 2/3 of the nerf

we literally have mosin drums, with more than HV velocities, more ammo, more damage and access instead of a pistol

we are in such a weird spot i can't even explain it

[whole furnace]

Yeah, personally I don't mind the less ammo and less damage, but I also don't think that would be enough of a downside for +200m/s that old HV gave.
That said, give every HV +25-50m/s more and it feels like a fair trade off.

Also nuke the obrez drum

[frigid ibex]

Schofield HV is 6/8 ammo with really bad stats

obrez drum exists with 25 ammo

[whole furnace]

To be fair, Scottfield should never had gotten HV.

[frigid ibex]

besides the point

it got it, and it's really pointless

[remote moss]

scott hv prenerf was crazy solid, gave competition for uppercrutch

[frigid ibex]

Uppercrutch has always been miles better solely because of high damage and high limb damage

the kill consistency is higher therefore more people play it

that's how it mostly works in this game

[remote moss]

bunch of noobs

[frigid ibex]

even the best wants comfort

[remote moss]

well, i run slightly less used meta so ye

[frigid ibex]

yeah, krag abuser or something

[remote moss]

tf, im talking marathon fmj

rival slugs

semi auto

[frigid ibex]

spam

raian spam abuser

[remote moss]

yes

i abuse spam because two tap crutchers dizzapoint me

[whole furnace]

Saw someone suggesting that the Uppercut got Spitzer ammo to "be relevant again".
Ah yes 6 more spitzer ammo for ones mosin/lebel :)))))

Inb4 Obrez Drum

But as I said nuke Obrez Drum

[frigid ibex]

sadly that one takes the cake for sptizer stacking

[whole furnace]

Once again:
Dear Crytek
What the actual fuck?!
XOXO - McCree

[frigid ibex]

It just feels weird after years of Sparks pistol/uppercut duallies creating massive long ammo spam problems and immedietly getting mosin obrez drum 25 ammo

[whole furnace]

I hate to be that guy but because 2-star lobbies cannot make 15 bullets of long ammo work on their Mosin.

[wise plume]

romero slug sniper gang

[fiery owl]

Hello here 🙂
Does anyone know why challenges are getting easier and less challenging?

[frigid ibex]

That's fair, I'd probably do that too if I played more spitzer

[wise plume]

it was unnecessarily hard ( hard due to required time )

[frigid ibex]

You'd prefer kill 5 hunters with water bottles?

[whole furnace]

Also once again Cryteks fucks over their own internal logic.
Obrez Drum comes with 10 bullets in reserve.
But Avto, which also has a drum doesn't come with any in reserve.
I don't want Avto to have reserve ammo, just frustrating to see a game that used to have very tight "logic" to their rules, just throwing them away.

[fiery owl]

Well challenging I guess would be the right word

[whole furnace]

Can you give an example?

[frigid ibex]

They did abandon the information game in real time so they most likely have a new vision

[wise plume]

they just made krampus challenges easier

circus grunts wasnt necessary imo

[frigid ibex]

They probably saw that most people haven't finished it

[fiery owl]

I feel its not challenging anymore

I feel that people who finished the challenge would need an extra appreciation

[whole furnace]

Not made to make easier, more so made to make possible to complete after this event is done :)

[wise plume]

yea but imo challenges shouldnt control your loadout

[frigid ibex]

Yeah, no

people spent money on this

[strong moon]

i agree generally. like the maynard sniper silencer is a rule break

[fiery owl]

After event I agree, but event is still here

[frigid ibex]

event that has lasted months

[fiery owl]

But that is the challenge...

its a hardcore game

could have been

[frigid ibex]

not really

[whole furnace]

I think they did it now so people who might wanna buy it now will not get scared about it not being able to be completed after the event :)

[frigid ibex]

hunt is not hardcore

[wise plume]

why would it be hardcore game on challenges

[frigid ibex]

hasn't been since 2018

[fiery owl]

Challanges should be challenging....

[whole furnace]

That too god
It not having a skin yet seems like a dead givaway on how polarizing that gun is.

[frigid ibex]

People have millions of hunt dollars cause the game isn't hardcore

[wise plume]

yes but it shouldnt control your loadout for entire week

[frigid ibex]

people have full maxed out hunters in their roster because the game isn't hardcore

[urban steppe]

uppercrutch was better because it had access to chadsplosive ammo

[wicked yacht]

I agree with the Maynard in general, having it start with a sniper scope always felt inconsistent to me

[whole furnace]

Hunt is not Hardcore anymore, so many crutches exists in the game now.
70% of people in 6 star doesn't even know how to play Hunt lol

[urban steppe]

a gun is good simply because it has explosive ammo

if it does not

🤮

[frigid ibex]

most guns don't..

I've seen you play non explosive ammo guns

[wise plume]

facts

[wraith forum]

hunt is too big of a game to have to restart steam after an update >.>

did all 20k players have to do that? XD

[urban steppe]

nah
the 2ndary has the explosive now 😼

[frigid ibex]

I didn't have to restart steam

idk what you're talking about

[wise plume]

5-6 star lobbies still facing deaf teammates ngl

they barely hear things

[wraith forum]

Fps is locked to 60

Lol dude

[whole furnace]

And that 70% not knowing how to play Hunt was already an issue before the crutches lol

You can really bruteforce yourself to 6 star without understanding how to manage a sandbox enviorment

[copper siren]

Just got a ps5 can i get the game ok my ps5?

[wraith forum]

yes

[wraith forum]

this crap

[copper siren]

Do u play?

[wraith forum]

no im on pc

but i had friend who played on ps5 previously

[copper siren]

Can u find out a couple of things for me though?

[frigid ibex]

uhh you most likely added stuff in properties

check what your launch options say

[wise plume]

1115816911

[remote moss]

ngl, i dont play at a 6 star level, i just spam and win fights

and i see a lot of bad 6 stars that just crouchwalk everywhere with off meta options like bow

[storm pebble]

Is the romero hatchet blessed by the saints themselves or why does this thing just always maul

[whole mist]

It's a solid weapon

[frigid ibex]

well, according to the yearly wrapup (most likely ruined because of BC free hunters numbers) the bow is top 5

🤓

[remote moss]

there was a wrapup? what the fuck, when

[frigid ibex]

all 5 weapons were free hunter weapons lol

[copper siren]

Hey nox

[remote moss]

thats hilarious

[storm pebble]

Every single time I use this thing I get into a 1v3 with my mates dead, and I somehow win it

[whole mist]

looks like his game is working

[remote moss]

should really be mmr specific stats, but that might bring dumbass elitism

id like to see which spam option or otherwise is the most popular in normal elos

[storm pebble]

meta is booooring

[frigid ibex]

Idk, they could at least rule out BC/Free hunters/contraband

[remote moss]

on the other hand, i cant push without running meta

[whole furnace]

Honestly I think the bow is there despite of the BC data.
Honestly think it is that popular.

[median pagoda]

How can i pump with the flame rifle

[remote moss]

i NEED spam or shotguns

[whole mist]

meta 😒 😴

[median pagoda]

how can i pump with the flame rifle

[remote moss]

x and r

[whole mist]

reload key

[frigid ibex]

I think BC is the reason it's there.

[craggy gazelle]

Bow is goated

[frigid ibex]

Lemat was top 5 on that list, i never see that shit

[whole furnace]

Naw I see bow in every BH game, even multiple bows.

[remote moss]

not having different game mode trackers, hilarious

[storm pebble]

legit neither

[craggy gazelle]

LEMAT MY LOVE

[frigid ibex]

been ages since I saw a conversion pistol too

[storm pebble]

(I think its shotgun part is kind of bad and doesnt help me all that often)

[whole mist]

you never see the lemat pistol?

[whole furnace]

I see that much more too, dualies LeMat and also the fact, if you not bringing QM, having a shitty LeMat shotgun is better than no shotgun.

[remote moss]

this event, ive seen a single lemat and it was the carbine. i also died to fmj conversion fanning from a 6 star rat that just ran away with mosin

[storm pebble]

That things pretty solid though

[remote moss]

just one too

[frigid ibex]

I've seen lemat c and no lemats so far

[frigid ibex]

It is, but there's better things so people pick that instead

[remote moss]

i gotta keep running it for the lemat brothers i met so long ago in hunt. cant use chain pistol, rip

[frigid ibex]

like a rifle + shotgun

I've seen auto4 a ton

more than every weapon on that top 5 list

[remote moss]

auto 4 shorty is diseased

having a chill fight, making space, absolutely shitting on some mosin player and he just pulls out the crown

better than the double primary events, i guess

[storm pebble]

Of course

I mean if I dont specifically need a secondary I just go for that thing since its all around good

[whole furnace]

I keep dying in CQC bc I don't run shotguns.
And I know I should just stay at 30+ meter distance, but god it is so damn boring :/

[remote moss]

i mean, are you willing to turn into a rat once you get into range? cause pennyshot, spear, and even throwing axe still exist

bait them by shooting your primary AND secondary so they think you dont have any close range options

then hold a corner

lol

[random nimbus]

[storm pebble]

Can someone enlighten me as to why people use the Mosin Obrez Drum so often

[frigid ibex]

I would do that if i played with teammates with same mindset

I do think it's the best thing to deny revives cause otherwise things will go on for 60 revives (new hunt showdown)

[remote moss]

christ, its 15/10. free ammo, its functionally a full size mosin while still sparing a primary slot

[wraith forum]

it was a bug from the game, just gotta restart steam to fix it

im guessing not everyone got the bug

[frigid ibex]

steam says you had launch options, did you take a look at properties?

[wraith forum]

Ye i recieved help from anotehr mod for the issue they told me to restart steam to fix it

it was caused by the update

i did look at properties

[random nimbus]

I wouldn't call the Obrez Drum a functional full sized Mosin, but it's by far the best 2 slot rifle

[wraith forum]

btw it would add one more line on every launch haha

[frigid ibex]

I assume even if it was empty it'd keep adding then

[random nimbus]

It's more like a slower shooting Krag with a ton of ammo

[frigid ibex]

It's better than many fullsized rifles because of 25 long ammo bullets

[remote moss]

its a two slot berthier, fr

[frigid ibex]

basically

[remote moss]

wonder if theyll give 1865 some powercreep and give it 1.6 cycle time

its pretty fun for 1v1s, but that fire rate gets you fucking murdered once theres more than one health bar youre fighting against

on the other hand, the mid range potential for someone who can lead the mv lets you compete pretty easily thanks to higher limb dmg

[whole furnace]

Yeah I also play with shotgun happy team-mates lol
Just dunno, the fact that CQC is all 1-tappers atm is quite dull :')
3-slot shotguns are fine, that feels like an investment somewhat.

[remote moss]

wallbangs need to be rebuffed

spam is only competitive with fmj against shotties and thats assuming youre in a compound that can get wallbanged

[whole furnace]

Wallbangs not gonna fix the broken state of CQC.

[wide whale]

No. But the next event being gunpowder free would

[remote moss]

it totally can, 1v1 cqc where you quickpeek then wallbang

need to hs or it does fuck all rn

[whole furnace]

Issue is if wallbang becomes reverted, so does 1-tapping thru walls

with shotguns

revert it and make shotguns take two shots to kill, fr

shotguns already have a pretty crazy use case with slugs, you can take fights against rifles with a very competitive spammy two tap and youre the only one with one taps up close

until you inevitably die to a spear chucker cause you tried to peek

but hey, who even knows its that easy to use spear, its fine

[wide whale]

Lul

Id love to know how often this works 🤔

[remote moss]

my gpu got cryptomined by a sneaky bastard because of a bad download just a few weeks ago

[random nimbus]

@frigid ibex Got one for the bonk stick

[frigid ibex]

bonk

[whole furnace]

Eeeeh, 3-shotguns are fine, you invest into them heavily, so people ain't gonna run shotguns all the time, shaking up the viability of other CQC options in the meta such as rapid fire guns and melee.
But because everyone can slot in a 1-tapper in the 2-slot you gonna have at least one bozo on your team with a shotgun, if not multiple.

[whole mist]

dont download corn🌽

[remote moss]

right, goes back to those fucking two slots

[remote moss]

Impossible.

[frigid ibex]

all semi auto's would dominate more scenarios

[whole furnace]

Basically yeah

[remote moss]

sounds good to me

right, i forgot. rival slugs is still the only slug shotgun that actually competes against semi auto and drilling

[wraith forum]

man sometimes shit just happens

[remote moss]

err, and crown and king

[wraith forum]

because of compounds

like cyprus is such a trash compound for example to defend

u get an upstairs thats free for attackers to access and throw shit in

[remote moss]

its nice because its a compound that forces defenders to play up top and around the treehouse buildings

otherwise you just slowly lose space and get wallbanged since its a square ass compound

[mortal basin]

Cypress forces you to hold the compound outside of just the boss lair, which is what you should always be doing anyway

[remote moss]

kinda sucks against forest players there though, your visibility is always gonna be worse than theirs and you just end up losing engagements if you keep trying to fight up top if theyre not pushing

[remote moss]

i talk so much shit about eu, there are too many players that prefer hiding instead of keeping and taking good positions

fuck you mean youre a rat but you wont play like a good rat and sit somewhere you can actually do something OTHER than wait for the dumbest dry push imaginable

[urban steppe]

are you calling me out

😿

99% of rats give up on holding an angle right before they push this time fr

[remote moss]

ive seen your clips, youre a better rat than they are

you dont understand the rage i feel when i get matched with p100s that are terrified of fighting

[urban steppe]

😹

[amber trout]

how do you get a 1441 longest shot statistic?

[urban steppe]

place trap

run to edge of map

wait for kill

[amber trout]

wait a trap counts as a shot?

[warm hazel]

How long is it before the season ends ? I think around 20 days if I'm correct ?

Im hoping I can still finish my last level for the circus badge and the one in a battlepass to earn the Ringmaster title

[mortal basin]

20ish days, yeah. Maybe 18 or 19

You win those for sure

[warm hazel]

Thanks for the positive heads up.

Its a bit of a struggle for the last bit of the level for the badge hahaha

Im pretty sure after the new weekly I will have my Ringmaster title.

[latent geyser]

Gosh, I'm in an Dark-Tribute-Upgrade-Point desert.

I PAID for these hunter slots so that I could WIN!

[mortal basin]

They definitely seem to have become less common

[unique trail]

How to get circus badge?

[warm hazel]

I believe by the payed battlepass ... But to be honest I kinda forgot if its not that

[mortal basin]

I think it's that

[unique trail]

Oh

[warm hazel]

Paid* battlepass

[unique trail]

I have the battlepass

Theres only one battlepass

[warm hazel]

You should find it under the career tab and look to change badges

It shows a circus tent

[warm hazel]

Certain awards only will be received after you pay for it

If you didnt already

[wraith forum]

hello

[lofty cargo]

I just met some trash team killer in EU. Why was he able to kill me, but I couldn't do anything to him?

[remote moss]

revenge is bad, just report and he gets smacked, probably

[lofty cargo]

how to report it after the match was completed?

[remote moss]

last match details in the bottom left, i think

assuming you didnt go into another game

!support

[graceful hedge]

Instructions on how to reach out can be found here: #customer-support.

[remote moss]

or you can manually do it by giving them a time of date, region, and their username at the time

but thats so much effort, just fuhgetaboutit

[lofty cargo]

I still have results of previous game, how to do it?

[remote moss]

click his name? then scroll down to report?

[left orbit]

because they’re goated and nobody gets why

[lofty cargo]

cant, there is no context on the previous game summary

[acoustic imp]

...so why?

[lofty cargo]

in the summary of last game there was no option to report someone

[left orbit]

cuz dispatch AI in no time without consuming much stamina. and getting kills with dusters is

[acoustic imp]

okay

[remote moss]

its supposed to open up a screen that shows you all the other players in the server

keep trying, test the bottom left options over and over until u see the players

lol

how 2 get pledge marks, only looting hunters?

[lofty cargo]

I could see players, but couldnt interact with their name

[prime lake]

i need 1 for a quest but im getting insta sniped 5 mins into the match recently

[storm pebble]

homestead can still one tap torso with dragons breath

[lofty cargo]

you get 1 for each 25 event points

[remote moss]

press your tab key on the players page, you have hidden names on

or find it wherever the fuck it is in settings

[storm pebble]

btw guys is there a lore reason for hunters to not talk or

[lofty cargo]

I can see their name but I thought there is something like right-click interface to report someone - when right-cliking on that team killer, nothing shows up

[prime lake]

wuuut ive got some then but none of my hunters have the token who do they get assigned to

[lofty cargo]

in-game event points

[remote moss]

did you try left clicking?

at this point, im just being ragebaited

[lofty cargo]

i tried everything sorry

[prime lake]

i mean ive gotten some marks in the rewards screen

buuut when i load into a match i have zero

[slate plover]

Does anyone here play solo? I got a question

[left orbit]

lobby wipe before reaching boss

[left orbit]

sometimes

[plucky apex]

I mainly play solo. Whats your question

[left orbit]

also, don’t ask to ask, just ask

[plucky apex]

True. I like getting straight to the point about things. Just easier and I wish way more did.

[lofty cargo]

you need to get them in game, each 25 turns into 1 plege

[heavy finch]

Does anyone here play hunt i got a question

[left orbit]

hunt? what is this?

[lofty cargo]

We play a chat game here

[prime lake]

oh ok ty

off to grinding ai i go

sealed weapons are only in the circus and towers right

[lofty cargo]

grab a silencer with fire ammo and its gonna be easy

[mortal cove]

No, I‘m just here for the tech discussions

[heavy finch]

silenced fire ammo. i never understand people that run that. is it just to kill mobs?

[mortal cove]

[left orbit]

poison. less noise

[prime lake]

yeah they scream with fire + immolators

[heavy finch]

i was just taking the piss out of a guy a few messages up that left a similar question but then never actually asked his question

[left orbit]

hives, armored, immolators, meatheads, ursa, clown grunts, pop'em'bloons, punch the weight with big hammerrr

[prime lake]

is sparks with poison ammo guaranteed oneshot?

[heavy finch]

bro dont

sparks poison ammo is the worst ammo weapon combo in the game

[prime lake]

lol

[heavy finch]

wasnt a joke

[prime lake]

why

[prime lake]

making fun of my idea not you

is it bad as nasty or bad as not the thing i expect

[left orbit]

absolutely not. check ammo spec. they only delay regen by a lot if enemy doesn’t have mirthriadist, and onlyl a lil if they do. which gives you a bit more time to do a wallbang, but honestly just take double sparks or sparks and an officer brawler

or bornheim

[heavy finch]

1. you dont get extra damage from the ammo type. But you loose the ability to wallbang.
2. all you get is a pointless screen effect and heal blocking. But realistically no one with 2 braincells would try to immedietly heal upon getting hit, they would fall back + the screen effect does not really effect anyones ability to shoot you.

[prime lake]

but dont posion counts as dot

[heavy finch]

no

[prime lake]

pffffft

[heavy finch]

you would think so coming from other games

but in this game poison has no dot effect

only bleed and to some extent fire.

[prime lake]

abs not worth it then ough

[heavy finch]

if you do wanne run a combo for the sparks with a goofy ammo that does have some kind of advantage. you can run fire ammo on your sparks and backup. This will guarantee that if you dont headshot. your next sparks shot is a 1 tap for a few min

[left orbit]

as dot? wazzat means?

[fresh turret]

It's worth it if you have pain sense and beetle

[heavy finch]

bleed basically. damage over time.

[fresh turret]

One of my favorite plays is to hit them with sparks poison and then immediately go after them with a beetle. They can't hide if you have pain sense.

it works more than you'd think

[heavy finch]

i suppose. but thats a build that works for 1 attempt at a kill.

unless you wanna bring multiple beetles

[fresh turret]

I usually bring two if I'm going with that loadout

[heavy finch]

i usually just shoot incoming beetles

[fresh turret]

they're usually taking cover because they just got hit with a poison sparks

[heavy finch]

still. why run sparks poison etc. when springfield dum dum is so much stronger

[acoustic imp]

because springfield is boring

sparks is cool

[prime lake]

i like both

[mortal basin]

i also like both

[wicked yacht]

Both are good

[half pike]

when did they lower the price of an uppercut?

[burnt patrol]

<@&357256267087085568> why is there no option to unbind 'hide player names' from tab

[young panther]

you don't have to tag the mods for that lol

[burnt patrol]

[lofty cargo]

I want this too!

[shell geode]

we're just community volunteers we don't control anything about the game lol

[frigid ibex]

Maybe you should stop pressing that button

[burnt patrol]

True but it does randomly change by itself as i see it being reported by a lot of people

[remote moss]

yeah every time i want to shift tab to open steam, that stupid thing hides names and i gotta repress it

[sly stump]

why run any of those when you have sub sonic

[whole mist]

oh wow loook what i stumbled across

[humble onyx]

Nope still not working. Everything else in steam and steam itself use the buttons just fine. But Hunt has decided those buttons no longer exist.

[whole path]

Is this game still alive?

Bruh

I play soul survivor and there’s just 1 other guy

[burnt patrol]

this you?

[prime lake]

oh so theres gonna be 3 more weekly challenges?

[whole path]

Death stranding is peak

[dense sleet]

Not necessarily, go off of the Days remaining in the "Battle Pass" tab of the menu and use that instaed

[dense sleet]

So you choose the least populated mode

What.

[slate plover]

What’s the best secondary for a sniper loadout?

I’ve been using chain pistol with fanning but it doesn’t feel the same as it used to. I just started playing again

Guessing it got nerfed

[normal kayak]

thats because NO ONE plays soul survivor lmao

why did you even choose soul survivor

its painfully mid

[whole path]

This is battle royal game?

[normal kayak]

its an extraction shooter..

[left orbit]

u big troll

i know you

[graceful iris]

What was the update for

[left orbit]

it's nice for autopilot boring meetings

jk

[silk breach]

Officially the worst animation in the game

[slate plover]

What’s the best secondary shotgun?

[short halo]

CnK shorty

[slate plover]

What about after that? Because I think that gun is a bit too expensive

[sick rivet]

when i try to aim it scopes for a bit in then not then scopes for a bit and then i can aim and somethimes after 2 sec it scopes out any help ??

[short halo]

Specter shorty

[slate plover]

Ok thanks

U think shotgun is best for sniper as primary?

I’m using lebel marksman

[thin patrol]

uhh anyone elses game just kinda.. wonky? new patch has my client on the fritz, menu and ingame stability is all over the place. my dark sight is activating star wars hyperspace and all sorts of wonk.

[slate plover]

I was pretty laggy on rain map before. Dropping frames

[short halo]

Personally, I'd go with a bow. Can compete with sg in close quarters but can also reach out to mid range where you dont want to use a marksman scope yet

[slate plover]

But then again I’m on console

[slate plover]

Poison arrow or normal?

[dreamy cave]

Whenever i play SS its one other person thats a 2 star lol i just play it so i can get the achievement. The worst achievement lol

[short halo]

Poison is objectively better for pvp but I run normal for the extra ammo

[slate plover]

It’s just that I play solo and sometimes I get pushed by them but then I can’t use my sniper

And I put out my chain pistol with fanning but it seems useless

[short halo]

Chain pistol with fanning is more a meme than anything unless you have a good bit of experience
It's way too rng to rely on consistently
There's few cases where I'd take a chain fanning over a bow
Plus QM is cheaper than fanning

[slate plover]

What’s QM?

[short halo]

Quartermaster

[slate plover]

Ah ok

[short halo]

For the price of fanning you can have QM and Hundred hands or QM, determination, and dauntless

[normal kayak]

i will NEVER run base compact ever again

i just shot that man in the head

4 TIMES

through walls

[spark plaza]

amogus

[short halo]

Are you saying you got hitmarkers or that it didnt pen?

[crystal bay]

Any headshot will kill (except for shotgun pellets if not enough hit)

[prime lake]

im not getting the violent balance skins it has SO MUCH going on for my taste

[normal kayak]

the walls

the walls ate the shots

they were too thick

i remember wallbanging a guy yesterday with a haymaker through a metal sheet

[normal kayak]

didnt pen

i understand the hitreg is great and headshots always kill i just could not get through the walls

[whole path]

I’m not a troll

[frigid ibex]

long ammo got superior pen compared to other base ammo types

[normal kayak]

yeah

[whole path]

Game is not active

[normal kayak]

i got used to it after that 1 wallbang

[whole path]

And has performances issues

I have 4090

[normal kayak]

W ragebait

[frigid ibex]

this is why people pick FMJ on compact ammo weapons

so you get the long ammo-ish wallbang

Medium ammo gets better pen than long ammo with fmj

you can pen 2 metal sheets

[normal kayak]

revolutionary

[frigid ibex]

It is since every compound overhaul has added double metal as cover

and the new map is filled with it

[normal kayak]

what does compact base go through other than like

thin wooden walls

can i even pen a haybale

[frigid ibex]

haybale is like

impenetrable

i could be wrong but they seem to be a unique cover material

[normal kayak]

the humble needle:

no shot a haybale is tanking rounds

W crytek

farmers finna love this one

What is the proper way of doing a ban appeal?

I have a friend whose steam account got stolen by a Chinese dude, and in the three days he didn't notice, they spent around $400 USD on his account across multiple games (Rust, CS2 and Hunt) and got him banned from the game 😔

[sick bramble]

dude i have a hard time believing this lol

[short halo]

If i'm not mistaken, each of these represent 1 thin wooden wall
https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/comments/1gjjo0x/developer_update_wall_penetration_changes/

[sick bramble]

but maybe youre right

[short halo]

#customer-support

Also

It is also important to understand that any penetration through metal and other hard surface types counts as four penetration steps

[full jungle]

Testing grounds has places to test pen

[sick bramble]

if my teammate intentionally goes afk or chooses not to do anything during a fight can i report them?

[full jungle]

Choosing not to fight? Prolly not. Intentionally afk? Potentially

[sick bramble]

like sit without doing anything

intentionally

[modern pebble]

trueshot > uppercut

MAKE A POINT.

GIVE ME ARGUMENTS.

Does https://www.huntshowdown.com open normally for you or just like in the screenshot?

[remote moss]

chain pistol requires you to position in a way where you spam them at like 5 to 8m and no further or else its out of your effective fanning range. so you just run away into a building or trees and hold the angle to spray them in range. if thats your strat, better to run regular conversion since it has high fanning accuracy tho

[modern pebble]

chain pistol is just trading consistency for like

gamblecore rng

[remote moss]

thats what people want you to think, you casino gremlin

[modern pebble]

u got 18 chances at a lucky ass shot

[modern pebble]

bro

the trueshot exists

[remote moss]

trueshot too slow for its fanning purpose, standard conversion better

[modern pebble]

if u run chain revolver ur not sane

[modern pebble]

it’s more accurate innit

[remote moss]

yeah but the fire rate can stuff you if youre not that accurate, and no volume by fire stuff to contest a shotgun properly

its technically better, but people would want conversion for consistencies sake

[remote moss]

its better used aggressively, fmj fanning to make space and abuse audio cues

its easier to play within 5m distances behind compound walls than in the open, anyway

[modern pebble]

yeah but if im fanning mfs 20m away and hitting that’s cooler

[remote moss]

and ammo box brings like 20 fmj compact

[untold stag]

what in the

[modern pebble]

that’s my 46th alt actually

[remote moss]

maybe

[modern pebble]

im joking do not ban me

[remote moss]

is that the real rachta z? omg

[modern pebble]

bro trueshot is so fire

accurate, Good mv, shit could go through brick

405mv btw

[untold stag]

[modern pebble]

what the fuck is the downside of fmj

there is none

[remote moss]

the mv, is what people tell you

they wont mention that its easy to learn once you manage to get in some long ranged fights without dying to a mosin

oh specifically trueshot

meh, trueshot nice competition

[lofty sinew]

The downside of fmj is that it isn't default so you have to purchase it every time

[remote moss]

anything to make it better than uppercut

[short halo]

For every location, make sure you leave your starting compound and then return or it doesnt count

[untold stag]

Not mine, I just found it funny for a 15k hour player

[full jungle]

Special ammo so less resupplies and it’s got less mv I think

And you have to buy it obviously

[modern pebble]

yea yea I meant on trueshot

THERE IS NONE

[untold stag]

More a trueshot hv enjoyer myself

[full jungle]

All of those still apply

Trueshot is stinky

[modern pebble]

405 not enough for u ?

[modern pebble]

not the velocity

[untold stag]

I like hitting silly headshots

[modern pebble]

and it’s medium ammo so still better resupply than long ammo

even with special ammo

[versed goblet]

anyone elses hunt acting funky ?

like server crashing not letting you log in funky ?

[normal kayak]

so i get 2 thin wooden walls?

[short halo]

With base compact

[fading burrow]

Chain Conversion with Dum Dum my beloved, get caught out between two duos, headshot both from one team, double tap first from second team, then trade headshots with last guy (after teammate had already been downed near start of fight)

About half a year ago, but that moment lives rent free in my head

[whole furnace]

Died to a random dude being miles away from his team which had the bounty I swear to god Hunt players are the weirdest bunch out there lmao

[whole mist]

wait what? Medium ammo (default) pens better than long ammo (fmj)?

[whole furnace]

In a full pre-made team even

Wth

[normal kayak]

hows he gone and done that then

[grizzled iris]

1 kill for every 10 deaths I guess

Unfortunate situation indeed

[untold stag]

They mean medium with fmj pens better than regular long

[short halo]

No, he was saying med ammo with fmj pens better than long
It's just worded a little awkwardly

[untold stag]

[whole mist]

i see

[normal kayak]

it wouldnt say 0.100 it would say 0.1 or 0.10
its bugged lmao

[frozen current]

its bugged for people who go up from 0.99 kda

it shows that instead of 1.0

[normal kayak]

yeah i figured

rather funny

[prime lake]

gang do i get last laugh, maiden, violent balance or weapon animations

[grizzled iris]

You should convert all your earthly possessions to blood bonds and get all 3

[prime lake]

ill eventually do it

but for now

[grizzled iris]

Idk I like weapon animations

Never been a legendary skin user

[prime lake]

i wanna be happy and enjoy Rangda´s design but ive seen people sweat ingame about skins

[modern pebble]

ppl who do that r lowkey kinda lame

[prime lake]

me when minimal advantage from getting spotted

[modern pebble]

shit I say that but I bought reptilian

bro is basically a ghillie

[grizzled iris]

My favorite dude remains the T3 with the actual ghillie top

He just makes so much sense for the setting

[prime lake]

my best game so far

[modern pebble]

it’s basically the rat skin ngl

[modern pebble]

good job, how many kills ?

[prime lake]

me 1

team like 4 or 5 xD

[modern pebble]

o that’s nice

lowkey im a solo player so i hog all the kills for myself

boosting my stats atp

[prime lake]

i focused on meatheads and

the bear is called ursa mortis right

[prime lake]

Rangda is a damn chandelier but i really like her

[tranquil sail]

Get the medkit 👍

[modern pebble]

she’s cool and that’s what matters

[prime lake]

yeah for me lowk

me when skins have cosmetic ammo and guns

[prime lake]

also mask is spook i like that

[grizzled iris]

It’d be pretty pogchamp if we could use the iron sights on rifles with sniper scopes

[prime lake]

think i´ll wait in case they drop some cool dlc hunter later

weapon animations can wait too i´ll save my BBs for the next pass

[whole mist]

I always save my BBs for next pass

[prime lake]

like who im using the medkit thumbs up with

please more spinning animations for other guns

[foggy plume]

Yo crytek when are be banning awww and YS cheater clans from the game, it's only few players I mean, won't hurt playerbase that much lmao 😄 😄

[whole furnace]

Yes Crytek bans reported cheaters :)

[remote moss]

eventually

always add the eventually there

[whole furnace]

Not needed

They do

[remote moss]

be funny if we had a statistic that told us how long it took for someone to finally get banned

[whole mist]

Crytek is aware of certain groups, i do know that

[remote moss]

a lot of the ogs were like 2019 players or something and took until the fair play task force thing came about

[whole furnace]

Most devs ban in waves

To ensure that cheaters cannot collect data about what got their cheating methods banned

[remote moss]

yeah yeah thats fine

im just talking like, memes sake

[whole mist]

The ban wave they did around september/October really helped i think

[whole furnace]

Remember: Most cheaters cheats in lower lobbies.

[remote moss]

yes, but looking at the funny closets is the fun part

[slate plover]

What’s the best pistol for fanning

[remote moss]

conversion fmj or trueshot fmj

conversion a speedy boy, trueshots fire rate is a little slow and might fail you against shotguns or semi auto if you arent accurate. trueshot technically better if you trust your aim since its slightly more accurate

[slate plover]

Ok thanks

What do u think the best marksman rifle is?

[remote moss]

still lebel, fr fr

[slate plover]

What about if I’m on console

Does that change anything? Maybe chain pistol better then

[whole furnace]

Honestly, issue is that if you invest into fanning, it is almost always better just to invest into QM and 2-slot shotgun

[remote moss]

still depends on your aim. need a bare minimum amount of aim with chain pistol if you dont want to get bayoneted or shotgun

[slate plover]

I just feel like I’m gonna miss 6 bullets instantly and be sitting there with my pants down

[slate plover]

Which shotgun?

[remote moss]

dont tell them about romero hatchets bug

[whole furnace]

Romero HC, Auto4 or Specter Compact I would say

[slate plover]

What about rival?

[whole furnace]

Rival is fine, but the worst option for sure

[slate plover]

Alright I’ll switch it out

[mortal torrent]

what is this isthere a new cheat 4 times in a row i alwyas got headshot

[remote moss]

you what

depends on what its slug two tap range is

[slate plover]

Terminus shorty levering?

[whole furnace]

All slugs 1-taps are more or less normalized, so you gonna 1-tap the same with a rival as you gonna do with a Specter C.

[remote moss]

does the job. its might be better than crown and king because people cant seem to control the ck recoil

[slate plover]

Which ammo for it?

[remote moss]

normal

just get into a game and test out what you like, fr

dragons breath is the preferred choice if you want to ruin someones day

but buckshot or normal ammo is your carry

hand crossbow still has the toxic ass dragons bolt

fuck i forgot about that shit

[south sorrel]

so many fucking hard crashes, anyone else running into this way more than normal?

[normal kayak]

oh you wanna have fun? well i was actually thinking heavy rain and fog on stillwater bayou

[prime lake]

whats the best way to unlock weapon variants

farm xp from grunts and specials?

kinda rare to find oil cans for me

[whole furnace]

Getting kills with them.
That said, last hitting AI and bosses with a weapon gives all the EXP with that weapon, so if you are doing the boss and in no rush, set it up so you last hit it with your weapon :)
Also as soon you get a melee variant pick that and melee ALL special AI :)

[whole mist]

Meatheads and bears give lots of XP (I think 600xp) and special ai (hives, immos, armored) give a bit too

[whole furnace]

450 exp nowadays I think, unless it is 1:1 to hunter exp then it is 350 exp :)

for whatever reason when I set it to 95 in game it reverts to 94 on a restart

[graceful iris]

[whole furnace]

Everyone leave the water and walk away from a while (around 100m or more) and return and she is usually back :)

[prime lake]

Port Sulphur Band (Band that does the soundtrack and is made up of Devs) has put out vinyl records before but I'm not sure where you'd buy them

[prime lake]

yeah ik they have an in house band for the ost

like with cowboy bebop seatbelts

[prime lake]

i would love if they release atleast a digital artbook dlc

[short halo]

Looks like you can get vinyl here?
https://blackscreenrecords.com/products/shadows-wake-bsr?variant=51903404310794

You can find a lot of the game's art on ArtStation

[prime lake]

60 euros is criminally cheap what

ty so much

[short halo]

I've never bought vinyl so I dont know the going rate

[prime lake]

depends a lot but also converted is cheap for my coin

[hallow sail]

Hey guys! Returning to hunt after a long time doing some ARC Raiders. Is this game kinda dead during off-peak hours for your region? I keep getting servers that are not full for NA East.

Or is there just kinda some weird stuff happening with queues this patch that I don't know about.

[atomic coral]

Have to leave the water, then damage her when she does a random surface idle animation

[atomic coral]

You'll get mostly full until about midnight, even during work hours or Sunday mornings we were getting 10-12 players in a match (though you're more likley to get solos and duos in trios queue).

[crystal bridge]

what time is peak? im NA East too, im a new player i just got it yesterday

[half ruin]

NAE is fairly active

peak is probably from 6-12 ish

whenever people get off work and/or have free time really

[median zinc]

NAE has been weird tonight

Even during busier hours we were getting solos and duos in trios non stop

[graceful iris]

Gracias

Urns out

Turns out

We had

A duo

[prime lake]

literally any reasonable hour

[graceful iris]

And I was stressing cuz I wanted a level 50

He places a alert trip mine outside our boss banish compound and I throw a dynamite at it and he didn't move away in time and he died instantly

I'm proud guys

Are you guys proud

[prime lake]

i sometimes run into people that legit take their time to process the situation

[crystal bridge]

i had 2 hunters literlly walk backwards into me while fighting grunts lol

[prime lake]

see me, scan me, get shot

i almost won 2 BC rounds today but got outnumbered uugh

[uneven gull]

rachta is considered the best hunt player, right?

[prime lake]

idk?

other huntubers i see are rexnor, noaura, some guy that only clips katana kills

[lofty sinew]

he's one of the most mechanically talented streamers. i don't think that makes him "the best hunt player" neccessarily

[uneven gull]

[prime lake]

why xqc and shroud get to play with post malone and not the important faces in the community

could be i just hate those guys but 0 sense to me

[lofty sinew]

because they are attempting to bring in new players, not just entertain current ones.

[tranquil sail]

Hornet seems good but his comments have alot of accusations of him cheating

So I dunno

[lofty sinew]

rachta gets accused of cheating all the time too

[uneven gull]

if you're good at the game you're gonna get accused of cheating

[lofty sinew]

why would you assume internet comments of all things, had any idea what they were talking about

[uneven gull]

like this one tf2 youtuber who mains sniper, fatmagic

all he does is get accused of cheating

[tranquil sail]

I assume you have an idea of what you're talking about 🥺

[prime lake]

hope it does, cant enjoy being a noob when everyone has ten dozens more hours than you

[prime lake]

this guy

like them minis

[uneven gull]

i already feel like i'm really good at the game even though my hours say otherwise

my aim and movement is already good, just suck at map knowledge

[lofty sinew]

quinx does more than katana kills, but he does like to play a lot of CQC

[prime lake]

dual katanas when

[lofty sinew]

i'd probs put hornet rachta and quinx on the same level. "very good at the game".

[fresh turret]

Having just prestiged I am noticing that catalyst is worthless for so much of the early ranks

[desert acorn]

Bullseye crossbow objectively worse than the standard?

[desert acorn]

Katana is already a ohk. What benefits would it bring? Or would it be purely aesthetic?

[mystic mulch]

Double swing speed

[mortal cove]

Quinx is also arguably the hardest Hunt no-lifer in the community

If you read this Quinx, nothing personal, you a cool dude, I love your „beauty of Hunt Showdown“ edits

[lofty sinew]

I guess i just don't feel like comparing one streamer to the other in that way even makes sense past a certain level

[whole mist]

who do u think has the most hours in the hunt community?

[desert acorn]

So from instantaneous to...?

[mortal cove]

No idea, prolly some random Jane Doe.

Not one of the streamers or YTers

[mystic mulch]

I meant interval.

[lofty sinew]

it's the internet. There is always someone out there that has only taken 2 pee breaks since the game came out

[desert acorn]

They all play very differently.

Psychoghost is probably the most creative. QuinX plays for the Pogs, Rexnor is a REALLY smart player. Hornet and Rachtaz are nuts with their aim and reflexes. Neenoh is too, but he's so chill I forget.

[whole furnace]

MMR 6 already? :>

[uneven gull]

3-4

[desert acorn]

Emaiza is genuinely insane and mains Derringer. I have SO much respect for her.

[whole furnace]

Plenty of space to grow then :D

[lofty sinew]

the difference between all those names is mostly in how often they produce a "content" worthy game

[mortal cove]

I just sit in a bush or on a mountainside and slurp a slushy while popping heads

[lofty sinew]

Neenoh, emaiza, rexnor, whitty, a bunch of names I am forgetting - all also very good at the game. But not convinced any of them are as mechanically good / consistant as quinx / rachta / hornet.

[sleek violet]

I use stamina shot & run at them full speed spamming left click on spear

[mortal cove]

I just exploit my game knowledge to win most fights

My aim is barely good enough for low 6*, but that‘s mostly because of how many games I play that aren‘t fps games

There is more to life, like Anime Souls Likes

[lofty sinew]

i mean the best players do that while also having top tier mechanical skills I guess

[supple agate]

can anyone plz fuckin explain to me

why discord gives me notification ticks for the general announcements

despite me muting the channel

driving me insane

n u t s

[mortal cove]

And that is pretty much what seems to seperate lower and upper 6*

[frozen current]

if only there was a way to change that setting...

i sure wish there was an option to toggle for that stuff...

[sleek violet]

6 star for me consists of cqc players miserably failing shotgun push & than that one guy with the scoped mosin spitzer on 5l of monster energy at 4am

[ancient whale]

Gotta love randoms that just join teams only to extract immediately without them when they get the bounty.

[slender dune]

yo could be a bug that if a kill a hunter in solo i cant loot him? like a kill a guy that wass a solo and didint even let me loot him or burn him, i put alert trap and shot it and the die, then i encounter 2 guys kill both but wen i loot the parthner that i kill fits then couldt burn him???? and i wass like what that guy wass full hp like no shot that he has like one life bar only

[short halo]

https://tenor.com/view/u-wot-m8-gif-20998179

[dawn zinc]

I think Neenoh is possibly as good as Rachta and Hornet.
Neenoh memes a lot but when he locks in he's insane

[lofty sinew]

he is very clearly not as mechanically good. it's obvious if you watch his movement. Is Neenoh good at the game? yes. Is he the chillest cowboy in the Bayou? yes. Are his skills on the same level as Rachta and Hornet and Quinx? matter of opinion, but I would say no.

[autumn kite]

Rachta average

[lofty sinew]

i mean, also untrue, otherwise 6 star gameplay would look very different to what it currently looks like

[autumn kite]

Rachta average 6 star

[lofty sinew]

thats just saying the same thing again

you are implying half of 6* are better players than Rachta

and I .. do not believe that.

[raven totem]

When he has a kd that's higher than most of your guys not running Mosin every game, lol imagine

[remote moss]

i have choice words about some of them

well just one, lol. funny bow moment

[remote moss]

dude, hes farming the literal worst players in any game possible, no shit hes gonna farm cheater comments even though hes a mid ass player

lol

tf2 casual is filled with kids that got steam a few years waaaay too early and shit, and its not a game where you can actually learn anything easily

closest hunt has to that is going solo and just abusing worse players that peek and push too much in 1v1s, or have bad movement for easy shots

as long as youre not outnumbered in solos, a good player has a great time just by playing a little more passively to farm KD in solo

[lofty sinew]

my impression is all top streamers get cheater suspicion comments because there is this idea out there that actually being good at games is impossible without cheats for some reason. To me the simplest explanation for that is people are stupid and don't know what they're talking about. mostly.

[whole furnace]

Like if I can get accused for cheating with my 1.32KDA I'm sure they get 10 times the amount reports lol

[lofty sinew]

for sure. "yo they cheatin" is just the default shitter cope

[whole furnace]

Speaking of cheating, I hit this amazing vibe shot (229m/s) today!

[remote moss]

subsonic abuser

[whole furnace]

Damn right

[fresh turret]

Is there ever a reason to take the nagant pistol? Not the silenced one but the regular pistol. Any benefit at all? That’s gotta be the one gun that has no benefit at all right?

[desert acorn]

It's cheap and good with fanning. And does more damage than silenced.

It also has access to dds
