hunt-general

[untold stag]

I die too much to need resilience

Come back with one full health 😁

[upbeat lark]

Only time it's bad is when you got quee up against people good enough to headtap you as you got up or the average long ammo abuser

[modern pebble]

might have to buff krag

simply doesnt shoot fast enough.

[hasty wharf]

krag cyclone

[upbeat lark]

The trapdoor magazine thing is in the way for the cyclone mechanism to be put

Also no

[lavish bear]

Free avtos when?

[modern pebble]

just put it on the other side smh

[hasty wharf]

you're right. krag avtomat

[upbeat lark]

How would that work the bolt is on the trapdoor side

[untold stag]

The frontier needs a buff

[hasty wharf]

magic runes on the bolt, clearly

[upbeat lark]

F it add a full auto small ammo gun

Available with fmj to be brought

[hasty wharf]

full auto nitro

[untold stag]

Full auto conversion

With a fuse u have to light

[upbeat lark]

Add the p90 please

[untold stag]

Somehow

Idk I was trying to think how to make a revolver full auto

[upbeat lark]

Add the blunderbuss

[whole furnace]

Which compact gun should get explosive bullets.
You only get one suggestion:

[lavish bear]

Explosive bullet avto

HOLYBPEAK

[hasty wharf]

why stop at compact. explosive derringer

[upbeat lark]

Explosive bullet dolch

Fuck it add a thing that let you use a blank bullet on your gun to launch grenades

[hasty wharf]

for compact i'd probably say vandal only

[whole furnace]

Wrong

Conversion Chain

We all know that is the only true answer

[upbeat lark]

Why not nagant revolver

[untold stag]

We need a gattling gun like fo76

[hasty wharf]

i was gonna say conversion for the chain but then i thought about how the aimpunch itself would break hunters necks, so it doesnt even need to deal any damage

[upbeat lark]

Silenced explosion

[whole furnace]

We not making balance here

We making stupid additions

[untold stag]

Bottlerocket bomb

[hasty wharf]

Pennyshot derringer except each penny is explosive

[upbeat lark]

Balance is overrated

[rigid field]

Do y'all feel like you close medal right before hitting the gnarliest clip? :(

[whole furnace]

Yo!? An actual nerf to something that needs it?! :V

[hasty wharf]

lowkey just needs to pop immos again and its fine i think

[upbeat lark]

A single shot derringer but the bullet is a homing magic missile

[untold stag]

The quad deringer could use different bullet types

[hasty wharf]

All the quad derringer needs is its pen back

im still mad about that

[whole furnace]

Would be a start, but dunno, rather hit the spread a little more, move it more over to door breacher/boss shredder.

[lavish bear]

Were still adding cars to hunt right?

[untold stag]

Do u guys use poison bullets?

[whole furnace]

nope

Worst bullet type in the game

[upbeat lark]

Only on the silenced nagant revolver for me

[untold stag]

A bullet that makes people cough could be cool

[rigid field]

city map and really crappy unreliable cars that dont fit on half the streets

[hasty wharf]

I'd rather leave the pvp strength intact and give it less versatility tbh, deletes armoreds, immos, bosses, everything. i dont even take a melee when i have it

[upbeat lark]

Tbh only on silenced gun variant is where I would use the poison ammo

[untold stag]

A poison that is in a bullet that makes people go into a coughing fit could be a neat addition

[whole furnace]

Mjaaah, really wanna reduce the amount of 1-tapping in CQC atm.

Bc it is kinda absurd atm

[hasty wharf]

I mean sure, but pennyshot wouldn't be even close to my first target.

[lavish bear]

Yo pennyshot is w cold

[untold stag]

I didn't realize how much coughing affects aiming till a couple games ago

[rigid field]

Bruiser pact my beloved

[dusty gorge]

just bring chokebolt minixbow with a versatile mainslot

[whole furnace]

Yeee, but it also got buffed with the 2.0 patch

[hasty wharf]

If pretty much every close ranged option got reigned in i'd be on board with nerfing it a little but i think it's funny if people are taking it JUST to do that job in pvp

[whole furnace]

So honestly just a smaller fix of a bigger part.

[untold stag]

That's true I forget the mini crossbow

[dusty gorge]

mini xbow chokebolt is most slept on gamer weapon

[hasty wharf]

however, i think people take it because it deletes every AI in the game effortlessly and then ALSO its pretty strong in pvp

[upbeat lark]

Penny Deri is my last resort I wouldn't use it solely to fight cqc cause my god you need to kiss your opponent to have a chance where 3 pellet hits

[dusty gorge]

only randomly getting HS kill every 3 months but its a force multiplier, and insanely good defensive tool

[untold stag]

Throwing knives 1 tap the bug ladies

I don't even know their name lol

[upbeat lark]

Hive

[lofty sinew]

hives

[untold stag]

That was suprising

[upbeat lark]

Aso I'm liking the throwing knife too nowadays

[whole furnace]

Well, I think most people gauge their tool slots in pvp utility too.
Most popular choices beyond Melee tool/medkit/chokes (if teams) is traps, spear, flare and ringer.
All have a pvp edge to them.

[untold stag]

Yeah

[upbeat lark]

Was a throwing axe Stan but I'm starting to get converted

[lofty sinew]

i use.. neither

[hasty wharf]

If spear dealt a flat out zero damage to all AI, I think the pickrate would fall below most other tools. I don't think people are taking it for pvp, I think they're just using it in pvp since they have it on them for PvE

[upbeat lark]

Lose the 1 shot capability by throwing in pvp but good enough for ais

[untold stag]

Only reason I picked throwing knives over axe cus they are cooler 😎

[lofty sinew]

i mean i use spear over penny derr in cqc. but yes if it was suddenly worthless for AI i wouldn't bring it

[upbeat lark]

Both are cool

[hasty wharf]

throwing knives oneshot to upper chest, axes just have the lower chest oneshot

[upbeat lark]

Oh my

[untold stag]

What is a lower ches

Stomach?

[hasty wharf]

your peanits

[untold stag]

Lol

[upbeat lark]

Groin area

[normal kayak]

throw knife at horse
horse lifts its head at the perfect time
alerted horse

[untold stag]

I didn't know my schlong was considered a chest

[lofty sinew]

lower torso

[upbeat lark]

I hate this about the throwing knife

[hasty wharf]

yeah its like stomach/groin. It's really called lower torso but whatever

[upbeat lark]

With axe spear I could even hit the butt and the horse immediately dies

[dusty gorge]

the draw speed of throw knife what makes it the choice 4 me

[hasty wharf]

honestly when throwing knives lost the horse body oneshot thats what made me stop running them lole

i ran them before the crazy buffs when they could oneshot horses and i liked them

[upbeat lark]

Oh my lowered gun position

[whole furnace]

Ofc ofc, but Spear is chosen over most of the other throwing weapons bc of the PvP edge.
Dunno, think we could shave 1.5m from the Penny Ringer OHK and we would be fine.

[lofty sinew]

why did that ever happen. was someone at crytek championing the poor horses dieing too quickly

[hasty wharf]

1.5m is like almost half of the range 😭

[upbeat lark]

Peta is mad cause they make the horse die a painless death

[hasty wharf]

and honestly no i think spear is just flat out the best at PvE

[whole furnace]

What is the OHK range of the Penny? :V

Or rather what do you think it is?

[hasty wharf]

that shit gotta be like 4-5m tops

at least, consistently. sure it can onetap further cause its penny but

[upbeat lark]

Kissing distance for the best change hugging distance for a decent chance

[whole furnace]

5m and you entering RNG, 4.9m and its OHK.

[untold stag]

It's hard to hate the 8 throwing knives

Or 7

Idr

[upbeat lark]

8

It should be 8

[untold stag]

Is it 8?

[upbeat lark]

I don't remember anymore

I remember it to be 8

Dang I may be sleep deprived

[hasty wharf]

its 8, used to be 6 and got +2 buff

[copper pier]

I miss how pennyshot was 4 years ago

[untold stag]

Sounds like it needed nerfed

Didn't it one shot bosses or something

[whole furnace]

Never, penny was always bad.

It is kinda better now bc of other weird circumstances

[copper pier]

I dont remember I was 13 I just remember it was very fun

[hasty wharf]

I think a decent chunk of people take penny because it fills the immolator-killing role for them, and would drop it if it didn't do that

[untold stag]

Never ever?

[hasty wharf]

cause i mean nobody fuckin ran that shit when it first came out and couldnt kill immolators without detonating them (and had no reserve)

[whole furnace]

Well think it was more people not understanding its power.

It was out for less than 14 days before it got buffed.

[hasty wharf]

that does not sound right

[whole furnace]

It is lol

I was there

[hasty wharf]

The reserve ammo buff? or the immolator one

[whole furnace]

Ah sorry, I meant, it was out for 1,5 months before the reserve buff

[hasty wharf]

that sounds more like it

[whole furnace]

Not sure what immolator buff you talking about

[hasty wharf]

the change that made pennyshot not detonate immolators

[whole furnace]

Pretty sure that have always been penny

[short halo]

To the best of my knowledge, pennyshot hasnt been changed all that much since introduction

[random nimbus]

Pennyshot seems to disproportionately improve on the slate

[hasty wharf]

i am like 97% sure that pennyshot set them off even after the pennyringer was released for a time

[random nimbus]

It used to pop immolators

[whole furnace]

Pennies have always not had pen

[hasty wharf]

didn't need pen to set off immolators

[random nimbus]

The description even says rips flesh, or something like that

[whole furnace]

What patch was it changed?

[random nimbus]

Shoot a while back

[hasty wharf]

tbh it mightve changed when penny derringer released but i vaguely remember trying it on an immolator and being disappointed

they definitely stealth changed it though, i don't think there was ever a patch note for it

[untold stag]

Do u guys run witness?

I just realized how good that might be

[whole furnace]

I've sent out a raven, I will report back.

[heady valley]

I always run witness.

[whole furnace]

Literally top 10 trait, should never have been a buyable one.

[heady valley]

Its like my 3 starting perks

[untold stag]

Yeah that sounds op

[sleek drift]

used it a while ago for the healing

[copper pier]

yeah i start with witness vulture necro

[untold stag]

Now that I seen a reddit post

[whole furnace]

People who complained it being useless after the healing aspect got removed is bad at Hunt.

[untold stag]

It also shows how old an ai death is

[heady valley]

Witness, Necro, and then vulture and or whisper smith and vigilant

[sage belfry]

Just had a clash game of EVERY other team running mosin uppercut, ew

[normal kayak]

you solo?

[untold stag]

No shotguns?

[heady valley]

Just got salt from a guy. that was great lol

[sage belfry]

well one guy had lebel uppercut but same difference

[heady valley]

normally duo or trio

[normal kayak]

cooking yourself and your teammates by not having resil lol

[whole furnace]

Yeah, not picking resilience is kinda throwing.

[heady valley]

Thats my seceret cap, i never go down s/

[normal kayak]

W strats

[copper pier]

Resil vulture witness?

[sleek drift]

I have video proof of BS

[heady valley]

hush you

[whole furnace]

I also run necro, think it is that good.

But that is why I cannot take witness game 1

Otherwise I would

[lavish bear]

Cold

[random nimbus]

Yes, first match of a new hunter

[untold stag]

Yeah I need to start running that perk

[random nimbus]

It's nice to have at least one person with it

[whole furnace]

Witness is trash after it lost healing, it should totally be 3 points :))))))

[dusty gorge]

a lot of new perks are all becoming so mandatory

[whole furnace]

Yeah

[untold stag]

Just being able to see if a compound has dead ai is good alone

[random nimbus]

Perk slot crowding is real

[whole furnace]

And we already had like 2 cleansings, even a mini 3rd one this event.

[untold stag]

Apparently the devs didn't want a perk that showed dead bodies at first

[whole furnace]

And they were right

[random nimbus]

I made a suggestion for a very vague body tracking perk that got more accurate as you got closer to it.

Then witness comes out and just shows exactly where they are lol

[whole furnace]

But game is 8 years old now, lot of old teams most likely ain't around anymore.

• Crytek really needs money, so better grab that core-gaming audience (misguided).

[dusty gorge]

found this clip thought of you hehe https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UFgVdgbvqmo

[random nimbus]

While also being infinite healing

[whole furnace]

To be fair and balanced, it was an event trait

[untold stag]

I was suprised this game isn't dead

When I came back tbh

[random nimbus]

Even then, I think it was massively overpowered

[whole furnace]

As much as I love Hunt and will say that Hunt is in a MUCH better overall state nowadays.
Hunt is only around despite of everything lol

[random nimbus]

If you had a dead hunter nearby, you would never lose a war of attrition in healing

Hunt flopped their biggest opportunity for growth with 2.0

[whole furnace]

Well, yeah, but also was during the event where we had the most broken version of the Infernal pact lmao.

[whole furnace]

That is one part of it, the other was that 1½ year of insanely stupid game design shift with endless powercreep and changes.

[dense sleet]

lets goo

[untold stag]

I can't believe bullet drop is a new addition lol

No more laser snipers

[dense sleet]

banger of a 1v7 clutch to get the hunter to 50

[random nimbus]

Not even bullet drop is what screwed them, as much as I hate it.

[untold stag]

I figured bullet drop would've been higher on the to do list

[hasty wharf]

gamepass launch without a working invite system 🥀

[random nimbus]

It was that abysmal UI

Legit THE worst UI the game ever had

[dense sleet]

and Mammons for both a month only, and its release per formance in some areas was just.. oof

i loved getting 15 fps in half hte map with no way to solve it besides just leaving the compound

[random nimbus]

Loved going to grizzly lodge and playing with 40fps

[dense sleet]

mammons for a month was a decision

[whole furnace]

Naw game was balanced around no bullet drop.
Mostly ironsights, low MV and short engagement distance made it nonsense to implement.

[random nimbus]

They've always done the month long map and it's always been a bad idea

It's impossible not to burn out on it

[dense sleet]

i joined the cool crew

[dense sleet]

literally this, it was condemned to burnout

its a good map

[untold stag]

Nah u noticed when sniping

[dense sleet]

but like... ugh

[random nimbus]

I absolutely despise it

[hasty wharf]

perf was actually really good for me for 2.0 other than the shit like the map crashing the game

[dense sleet]

better than shitwater

[untold stag]

Just no bullet drop at every distance

[dense sleet]

shitwater was, rather is, just awful

[whole furnace]

Sniper scopes were not added later :)
Still in EA tho.

[dense sleet]

Lawson/DeSalle better

[hasty wharf]

I was full ultra for 2.0 launch but I've since had to lower it

[random nimbus]

I'd take Stillwater over Mammons. I hate almost every bit of that map

[untold stag]

I played around COVID and they had scopes

[dense sleet]

i was ultra at 140fps but now im mostly High at 120

[untold stag]

I didn't play before scopes

Lol

[dense sleet]

i didnt get a big a drop as most people

BUT, my average fps is better

[whole furnace]

That is fair.

[lofty sinew]

what definition of new are we using here

[untold stag]

A year

[random nimbus]

One thing that made drop annoying too was how they gamed it to try to nerf long ammo

[whole furnace]

But Hunts base design didn't need bullet drop simple as.

[dense sleet]

literally reversed physics xD

[random nimbus]

Meanwhile long ammo still king

[whole furnace]

But mix of maps with longer sightlines and scopes made bullet drop more reasonable to add.

[random nimbus]

Like, most fights happen in places where drop isn't even a factor

[hasty wharf]

thats because they reverse gamed it by giving long ammo guns really good drop start ranges

[dense sleet]

it always will while it retains best in class damage, base pen, and MV (god stat) and resupply is never an issue

[untold stag]

That's cus everyone pushes like cod

[hasty wharf]

lemat carbine at 35m, lebel at 70m lol

[random nimbus]

Most guns have good drop starts too

[lofty sinew]

bullet drop was a 100% positive addition to the game imho. literally no downsides

[whole furnace]

Also remember: Bullet drop is Cryteks classic answer to DO ANYTHING BUT NERFING LONG AMMO, BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!!! :))))))))

[grizzled iris]

Today was a boring day in the bayou, ran the gauntlet without firing a shot… for some reason all the teams were avoiding me

[lavish bear]

We can not

[grizzled iris]

Like do I smell or something?

[dense sleet]

i mean, i dont think it was a bad addition

[random nimbus]

I just want a Mosin nerf

[lofty sinew]

all hunters smell

[lavish bear]

Yeah ur pushing it bro

Too far

[untold stag]

Everyone pushes or hides in this game. There's no in between

[dense sleet]

it made sniping require genuine skill and it limited annoyance of rats 150m out just waiting for you to loot

[random nimbus]

Ive given up on the changes I actually want

[whole furnace]

Me neither, but it is funny that Crytek would rather invent (another) whole new system than just balancing long ammo lol.

[hasty wharf]

I think a reload speed nerf would go a LONG way for bringing Mosin in line

[lofty sinew]

why bother specifically targetting the mosin when it would be better for the whole long ammo class to get some kind of nerf

[untold stag]

What nerf does it need?

[random nimbus]

That's what I wanted for years, but crytek took the opposite approach

[dense sleet]

make it 134

[untold stag]

Still 2 shots to chest to kill

[dense sleet]

so lower torso isnt 125

[lavish bear]

OR instead of complaining abt the ammo type you use it

[random nimbus]

They just power creep everything to long ammo

[lavish bear]

Long ammo in ur name btw💔😭

[untold stag]

Let's make chest shots 1 shot and fuck the nerfs

How bout that lol

[random nimbus]

Mhm. And I wanted it nerfed

[dense sleet]

the strength of long ammo is all 3 slot rifles dealing 125 damage to upper chest

[random nimbus]

Specifically the repeaters

[whole furnace]

And I hate it.
I really think old hunt was more or less perfectly balanced except for long ammo + Dolch.

[lavish bear]

Make every gun 1 tap from all ranges

[dense sleet]

other weapons have specific ammos to allow it OR special cases

like vet and spring

[grizzled iris]

Insurgency sandstorm moment

[untold stag]

Dayz is basically 1 tap

[hasty wharf]

welrod 🥀

[untold stag]

Unless u got a carrier

[dense sleet]

one taps lvl 3 armor in the head

all you need

[whole furnace]

Hahahahaha
Upper AND lower torso now!

[dense sleet]

loved running traces in my welrod just to see it

[random nimbus]

Same, I hate it. Now we'd have to nerf a LOT of stuff to get where I want when only a few things needed nerfing before

[dense sleet]

not all of them

[hasty wharf]

i swear on my life i tried it with ap and it didnt do it at range. theres no way they were all just bodytaps

[whole furnace]

Yeah sorry that is only single shot and mosin privilige

[grizzled iris]

The Welrod is actually despicable

Wouldn’t wish that shit on my worst enemy

[dense sleet]

ap makes it have wonky ass mv

funnily enough, at like 15m you have a lead a pixel or so

its so odd it works like that

[random nimbus]

Two medium guns too, but yeah mostly long ammo

[whole furnace]

Eyup, my perfect Hunt patch notes would be the size of the bible at this point.

[hasty wharf]

tbh i thought sandstorm guns were hitscan up until a certain range

[dense sleet]

ap welrod was kinda based though xD

[hasty wharf]

i didnt play that game a shitload

[grizzled iris]

They r

[hasty wharf]

and by a certain range i mean like 100m or something

[dense sleet]

welrod was the one exception

[grizzled iris]

MV divided by 10= hitscan range

[hasty wharf]

aint no way lmfao

[dense sleet]

i remember testing it

welrod was the ONLY gun you had to lead, not much but you had to, starting at 15m

made no fuckign sense

not even the fucking .22 had to lead xD

[grizzled iris]

It’s bc the welrod is genuinely just that ass

[whole furnace]

1865 silenced is the funniest gun in the game for me

[grizzled iris]

All the silenced guns are a great time

[copper pier]

slingshot bro

[grizzled iris]

Lil stonethrowers

[random nimbus]

Funny seeing how long the bullet takes to get somewhere lol

[copper pier]

subsonic 1865 suppressed

[whole furnace]

✨✨✨Vibe Shooter✨✨✨

[random nimbus]

Pretty sure fmj is slower

[copper pier]

LOL

[whole furnace]

That said I prefer FMJ, bc then the bullets are slower

[random nimbus]

It's like 238ms

[whole furnace]

219m/s

[copper pier]

ahhh by 10 meters ps

[random nimbus]

Yeeesh

[whole furnace]

FUCK

218m/s god I'm bad

[random nimbus]

I knew there was an 8 in there lol

[whole furnace]

Yeah

1865

[random nimbus]

Too many damn numbers to keep track of now

[whole furnace]

Also Crytek PLEASE give that poor gun a name

Like

[grizzled iris]

That’s around 490mph, and for reference the land speed record is 763mph

[untold stag]

I was trying the suppressed lever action with subsonic. I barely took out a health bar and was like nah I'm cool

[whole furnace]

A real one

[copper pier]

the shit slinger

[modern pebble]

ts pmo

[untold stag]

The shit slinging slasher

That's a dope name for games

[whole furnace]

Also, I know this might sound deranged, but make all bullet that is <340m/s subsonic for free.

[grizzled iris]

Nah make it cost negative hunt dollars

You get compensation for handicapping yourself

[untold stag]

I remember when I was good enough to get headshots. Now I'm lucky to get chest lol

[modern pebble]

i remember when I wasn’t 1*.

now I’m 1*.

my enemies have their monitors turned off

[lavish bear]

How bro how

[grizzled iris]

Dude 1* is reserved for rank 10

Or something like that

[whole furnace]

Also time for my next hot take:
Sparks Sniper Silenced would be less of an issue compared to Maynard Sniper Silenced we have.

[modern pebble]

I actually found out recently it’s possible to be 1* outside of low level protection

[modern pebble]

I would be curious to understand the logic ?

Why would it be less of an issue

[hasty wharf]

quite frankly i think the whole subsonic thing for silencers was mad annoying, just a bigass mv buff for pretty much all of them in exchange for being slightly louder since nobody runs subsonic except for split on maynard

[untold stag]

Is sparks suppressed good?

[lavish bear]

How do you manage to get 1 star bro😭

[hasty wharf]

576 still pisses me off

[copper pier]

god i love the bow so fucking much

[untold stag]

Yeah that's dumb

[copper pier]

eexcept arm shots

[modern pebble]

it is basically the best weapon in the game

[untold stag]

I wanna be a silent guy

[grizzled iris]

Never used the sparks silencer so idk, if you want a quiet single shooter just run bow or xbow

[modern pebble]

but it’s ok

i don’t think I want too massive of a shift in the game balance

[grizzled iris]

For close range

[raven totem]

Nope

[modern pebble]

actually tho

should nitro be buffed

[grizzled iris]

No

And I am a nitro fan

[hasty wharf]

then what is it

[modern pebble]

feels like it sucks now

[untold stag]

I got 1 shot bowed through a window I had to jump to look through earlier. I was kinda pissed

[modern pebble]

remember old shredder pen

[whole furnace]

Basically bc Sparks doesn't have HV.
Silenced Sparks is 110m drop range, 453m/s MV.
Silenced Maynard is 160m drop range, 576m/s MV with HV.
Silenced Maynard can stay outside its audible range even with HV.

[copper pier]

ii think itd be inconsequential

[modern pebble]

nerf maynard i guess

but idk I feel like the idea itself of a suppressed sniper is a problem in the first place

[raven totem]

It's necro or resil and I didn't get a clap back, you knew I was right

[whole furnace]

I mean, just remove the Silenced Maynard or I guess, make it scarce, that is Crytek's solution to everything it seems.

[modern pebble]

remove the scarce mechanic

genuinely

[hasty wharf]

i say remove it, or just straight up cut the velo in half

scarce is not a good solution

[lavish bear]

Crytek is lost atp bro

[modern pebble]

I hate when instead of balancing shit they just make it so u don’t run into it too often

wow thanks !

[raven totem]

This is hunt general, not insurgency general

[onyx breach]

I’m kinda curious what weapons they will bring for the next event

[lavish bear]

Nothing good

[grizzled iris]

you replied to me first but ok

[modern pebble]

now I can lose to that shit while not necessarily having access to it unless i do the boring task of spamming games to check supply things

[whole furnace]

100% agree.
But at this point I am just trying to bargain to what is more likely lool

[untold stag]

What's the best shorty shotgun?

[whole furnace]

Short King or Romero HC

[untold stag]

I was thinking about running short Springfield and shotty

[lavish bear]

Dolch

[hasty wharf]

bow

[grizzled iris]

C&K shorty dominates

[untold stag]

I was thinking double barrel

Or pump

[lavish bear]

Lets js go dolch p js incase

[modern pebble]

bow

[modern pebble]

rival is dogshit

[grizzled iris]

You get style points for using those

[whole furnace]

Rival is kinda bad sadly.
Or well, it is good, but just worse than its peers.
Kinda the most "fair"

[neat zealot]

mako explosive rounds any fun ?

[modern pebble]

spectre hc is in my honest opinion also mid as fuck

[copper pier]

i hate the mosin obrez but its alright

[modern pebble]

Romero hc is borderline op

[untold stag]

The double barrel sucks?

[modern pebble]

it’s so fire

[lavish bear]

Avto explosive is better

[untold stag]

Double barrel should be best in class tbh

[modern pebble]

drilling shorty also good

[modern pebble]

why

[neat zealot]

i dont have avto rn '

[grizzled iris]

It would be pretty awesome if the sawn off rival was a one slot

[untold stag]

Two shots at same time should always win

[grizzled iris]

That way we can dual wield

[modern pebble]

that’s incredible logic

Dayz has a option to fi e both barrels at once

[modern pebble]

do you just want the rival to be the best gun in the game

[untold stag]

It's common sense

[hasty wharf]

you don't fire both at the same time, it's one after the other, and thank god you cant fire both at the same time

[untold stag]

One after the other

[hasty wharf]

anyone know the two-tap range of the rivals lol

[untold stag]

Same time

[modern pebble]

yes because that’s good for balance

[hasty wharf]

i think it's a 0.3s delay between shots iirc

A shotgun with no reload or pump should be good

[hasty wharf]

Funny cat gif

[whole furnace]

Imagine the combined recoil lol

[modern pebble]

it’s always a cat

[modern pebble]

and why the fuck should it

[grizzled iris]

BF1 did it perfect with the M1900, 2 shots in super rapid succession

[modern pebble]

you can shoot twice extremely quick

[grizzled iris]

Not simultaneous

[untold stag]

I'm done talking to u

Ur salty

[modern pebble]

this is like asking for the drilling to have 130 dmg

[modern pebble]

like, the point is that you can shoot both barrels quickly

[untold stag]

Why should it be dog water? Like every one is saying

[modern pebble]

if they were also individually good it would be dumb

[modern pebble]

because it’s the fastest possible follow-up shot

[untold stag]

The pump is already pretty close

[short halo]

Thats because its the same as a romero

[modern pebble]

I think it’s legit faster than even terminus

[hasty wharf]

they both were individually good but i think it just kinda didnt get as much of a buff as the rest when 2.0 dropped so it got left behind

[modern pebble]

yah yah it’s awesome

op ?

Is the triple barrel shotgun good?

[lavish bear]

🥀

[untold stag]

Idek what it's name is

[modern pebble]

It’s weak for one shot but you can shoot twice so quickly that it ends up functioning

That’s the idea

[grizzled iris]

I’m like the old dude that calls the supermarket what it used to be before it closed and got replaced by another one

[modern pebble]

Well to be fair there were like 5 winfields

[hasty wharf]

they buffed the damage retention of full sized shotties pretty significantly past their oneshot range, so i guess they were kinda cautious with buffing the gun that was already pretty good at two tapping someone past shotgun oneshot ranges

[grizzled iris]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-ballin-mars-bars-gif-19910027

It’s not a bad thing they made the naming convention less ass

[lofty sinew]

you mean the drilling?

[untold stag]

Apparently

[lavish bear]

Yo ur the only soul i know that gifs work in hunt gen

[untold stag]

The description says a double barrel and a single shot on the bottom. Whatever that means

[grizzled iris]

It’s not any fault of the devs

[untold stag]

I get bored around 2-500

[grizzled iris]

They’re YouTubers

[modern pebble]

hunt is always boring

[grizzled iris]

Probably having a fanbase helps

[untold stag]

Even 1000 is alot

[modern pebble]

because your enemies never move

[untold stag]

This is the only game where u and an enemy can dance for like 30 seconds shooting at each other

Especially if there's no mele

I remember it used to be worse the juggling ammo thing

Or at least that's how I remember it

5 feet from each other shooting and reloading lol

Dancing side to side

Such bad aim lol 😭

[modern pebble]

are you on console

[dawn zinc]

That's the best part of Hunt. The game is a million times better when you get the games with wacky shootouts rather than just the ones where you wipe a team or get wiped in 10 seconds

[untold stag]

I'm happy I'm not on PC tbh

[uncut plume]

server lock when ?

Still waiting to see another european player on eu servers

[untold stag]

Fucking lil kid drones on pc

[copper pier]

mosin obrez kinda nasty

[modern pebble]

it’s the best 2 slot

[modern pebble]

idk I like when I’m wiping the lobby

[untold stag]

The longer shootouts are always more fun

[modern pebble]

the Europeans are on NA east because EU servers are ratty as fuck

[uncut plume]

That's how it felt last time I went NA east, ratty as fuck

[pastel mulch]

what would be the most accurate 'American frontiersman' loadout that you could do in hunt showdowm

[dawn zinc]

I'd rather have 10 games where every fight is a crazy wild west shootout than 1 game where I wipe every team I encounter in a few shots

[neat zealot]

what ammo best for nitro

[grizzled iris]

I wish there was a perk that allowed me to thundercunt my sidearm at someone if it ran empty

[uncut plume]

Issue on EU servers is not rats it's there is not a single european playing there

[copper pier]

im using it with the bow its great

[uncut plume]

And playing against 500 ping players ain't the greatest

I guess the moon is part of europe now

[untold stag]

A lot of u PC players don't even understand the controller and quick scopes exist

[modern pebble]

well it’s how I feel every time o go on eu lol

[untold stag]

U just think controller is just so hard to use

Auto aim don't even need to exist for controller

[modern pebble]

I’m entirely fine with killing the whole map by myself personally

[dawn zinc]

One of the reasons I hate the shotgun buffs is because it's killing mid range shootouts

[modern pebble]

different priorities i suppose

[modern pebble]

You just said you had gunfights where you missed for 30 seconds

[untold stag]

Go play cs go

U sound sweaty af

Tbh

[copper pier]

Hunt sweatier than csgo

[untold stag]

Cs go was the most drone shit ever played

Peak a corner and instant headshot

[modern pebble]

?

that or I’m just not terrible at the game

[grizzled iris]

https://tenor.com/view/bold-why-brave-gif-18100499

Hunt and CSGO are two different levels

There’s a reason why CSGO bred the “shot 1: completely missed” trend

[untold stag]

To be fair they are both meant to be played strategically

[copper pier]

Hunt is layers deeper than csgo its not really comparable

[untold stag]

Definitely

[grizzled iris]

Yes but people who play CSGO seriously play for irl robux

[copper pier]

I play csgo comp and I think hunt is more sweaty

[grizzled iris]

Therefore more emotions etc

[untold stag]

Cs is also one of the oldest strategic games around

So it is comparable

It's hunts father

Maybe its just me

[dawn zinc]

Would be pretty interesting if the bounty became so valuable people actually started playing compound fights strategically

[copper pier]

what the hell is the bounty stat even for

[whole furnace]

High KD "I shoot people good"
High Bounty "I actually win rounds"

[modern pebble]

That just means more ratty

[untold stag]

I wish there was a way to stop the running around with our heads cut off

Impossible task

Kinda like how siege is meant to be played slow and methodical, but it ends up being run in and storm every room jumping around

Ground branch pvp was slow most the time

[tepid drum]

damn will it not embed

[untold stag]

Just slow stalking and clearing rooms

[whole furnace]

Well as skill increases, so does player movement.
That is true for almost all FPS games.

[untold stag]

Unfortunately

[copper pier]

this shit was scary

[tepid drum]

I just got my best ever shredder ricochet

[whole furnace]

Lol, what chaos.
But damn, bow should really drain stamina on draw

[untold stag]

Does the arrow. Shoot to the left of the cross hair?

[copper pier]

yeah bow is op asf

[tepid drum]

no

[tepid drum]

this was my first double bounce kill

[untold stag]

I mozis clip it looks that way

[tepid drum]

i have 261 shredder kills for reference

[remote moss]

more like, peek and die to an awp with no counter except learning a bunch of stupid nades because thats what constitutes skill

[west nebula]

Is the bow going to be nerfed? It feels weird for the first weapon I used being a crutch from what i've heard.

[remote moss]

awp is extremely low skill and effective, dont listen to the stupid fucking people that hype the awp

[tepid drum]

i love CS smokes

[remote moss]

but it feels good to use, all that matters

[whole furnace]

In short: Who knows.

[tepid drum]

the awp is OP and never should or will be nerfed

[remote moss]

the new ones are chill

not sure cs is worth playing anymnore though

[whole furnace]

Crytek is not known to really balance around community opinion unless it affects player numbers direly

[tepid drum]

i quit as soon as i started playing hunt again after 1896 was no longer terrible

[tepid drum]

i expect no

[untold stag]

Do u guys play dark and darker?

[remote moss]

i get to pretend like im good at the game because i abuse people being bad at nades in global elite, thats a feeling that sohuld never go away

[fathom shale]

I still genuinely do not think that bow is anywhere near as "OP" as people think and in the world where dolch, avtomat, mosin, auto5 and such exist it's wild I see the most complaints about it

And I do not want to sound like an elitist but I have a strong feeling it might be a MMR thing

[untold stag]

I've had a lot of solos squad wipe cus of the bow

[remote moss]

bows frustrating, 27m body tap and 33m hundred hands. hand crossbow is also cracked because someone said it was 19m, but im too lazy to run the base ammo

[untold stag]

So it seems a bit op

[remote moss]

in a game about holding angles, bow can one tap at longer distances and force even worse stalemates than shotguns

mainly cause bow can also push like a motherfucker and fuck you up if youre trying to peek as a rifle

[whole furnace]

I will agree it is more a terror of the lower brackets, but still think it is really strong even in 6 star.
Just not broken OP.

[raven totem]

the real, how much have you played stat

[fathom shale]

Bow has no limb pen and slows you down when you pull the string, those are enough to make it mid at best

[remote moss]

contesting against semi auto, a bow player can one tap more easily than the average player can two tap with officer

so skill for value, its pretty solid

[copper pier]

i see

[whole furnace]

Every weapon slows you down when you ADS, dunno why people feel that is an extra thing for a bow

[remote moss]

you cant do crazy corner jumps and bait peeks like you could with a shotgun

you can jump peek and bait but its the slow version, no sprint

[whole furnace]

You can go into a corner jump peek with a bow tho?

[fathom shale]

With ADS you can quickscope, with bow if you want your arrow to be ready at full drawn you have to prepare it and sometimes hold it for longer

[remote moss]

the whole point of those peeks is that you can sprint, then immediately ads for the kill. doing it with bow is still slower and easier to react to

[glad canopy]

Haven’t played hunt in a few days been on the rust grind

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flight-reacts-flightreacts-yikes-shocked-gif-6414215169603726054

[whole furnace]

That is the neat thing you don't really full draw your bow

[quiet hinge]

2 slot weapon with crazy utility, one shot at 34m to upper body, somehow mid at best

[fathom shale]

Yes because no limb pen, that is 90% of why it's mid at best

[glad canopy]

Feels like aimbot too lol I only hit headshots with bow

[fathom shale]

The 1 tap range won't matter when it's dictated by the enemy's sudden movements/animations more than your own aim

[remote moss]

reminds me of back when people choked saber kills because they never got close enough for a upper chest shot and kept getting mad over limb hits not killing

[quiet hinge]

lol

[glad canopy]

Bro just take one look at rexnores YouTube channel and you will appreciate the bow lol

😂

[fathom shale]

They turn 90 degrees? Their arm might block the shot. They aim at you? Their arms are now in front of their chest

[quiet hinge]

they turn 90 degrees? they get hit in the arm with a poison arrow for 120+ and are bleeding and poisoned if they dont have 4 shot boon.

[copper pier]

shot bolts for reg bow

[fathom shale]

I know Rexnor is good with the bow, I still do not think the bow is overall good weapon when looking at the bigger picture

[quiet hinge]

and you have a 3 slot weapon to switch to

[remote moss]

instead of watching rexnor, you can also watch literally any solo player that puts "50 KILLS IN 5 GAMES" in their title for the same experience. solo fights in effective range of shotgun, holds angles and punishes 5 stars for peeking and pushing a shotgun with their rifle cause theyre stupid

[quiet hinge]

i just think they should revert the buff to the bow, its stupid that it was even buffed

[remote moss]

and thats the rexnor experience, doesnt matter if its a different weapon

[fathom shale]

And I also do not think Rexnor is facing the highest MMR bracket all the time, so I still think bow is viewed stronger in lower MMR

[signal cliff]

the bow is good, just not all are good with the bow. [myself included]

[quiet hinge]

i mean rachta dies to bows lol

[remote moss]

avoid anyone that glazes a weapon and only shows solo gameplay of it, mostly

[glad canopy]

I wish my game was like rexnor just like happy bro

[quiet hinge]

is rachta not fighting high mmr as well?

[glad canopy]

My game is all depression

[remote moss]

its not that they arent describing the weapon objectively, its just that their playstyle rarely plays the same way against competent people

[fathom shale]

How is someone dying to bows relevant?

I can die to a quad derringer and so can Rachta

[quiet hinge]

i mean you brought up mmr

[fathom shale]

Does that mean anything

[quiet hinge]

you're the one who brought up mmr saying he doesnt play vs the highest people

so i brought up someone who obviously does

[signal cliff]

speaking of MMR https://youtu.be/J5ymnutX8bI?si=4aOue7_bM9Yc8_i-

[glad canopy]

Not once have I ever had this reaction in hunt ever

[fathom shale]

Rachta does often drop one bracket as well when playing solo

[remote moss]

dude, rexnor is one of many people that farm clips against bad players because people play solo

it means nothing to watch that kind of gameplay

[quiet hinge]

im not talking about rexnor at all

[remote moss]

oh wow i won because some 5 stars decided to peek me one by one with rifles while i have shotgun

[tepid drum]

i used to until i realized the developers were insane

[untold stag]

There's a water level now lol

[glad canopy]

I need to upload my games as a 4 star

[remote moss]

wait, who was the rexnor guy then

[untold stag]

I was like wtf

[glad canopy]

They are funny

[quiet hinge]

the bow was fine before the buff to it, it doesn't need to be 275 damage with hundred hands

[glad canopy]

BIIIG damage

[fathom shale]

Doesn't that trait give it like few meters of extra one tap range in practice?

[quiet hinge]

well it increases its damage by 10% so yes

[remote moss]

anyway, bows a strong weapon for a two slot. cheap one taps that compete against basically any shotgun, but its less forgiving since you have to play it like a romero and back up on corners so you can full charge the bow

[fathom shale]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[remote moss]

if youre a bad player, you want to run specter slugs, crown and king slugs, and all that shit

[whole furnace]

And turns arm taps into 1-taps

[remote moss]

but if youre good, you run bow. then rival shorty slugs

[glad canopy]

Hundred hands isn’t even necessary to run bow

[remote moss]

cheap and very very effective

[fathom shale]

And was that at something like 6 or 16 meters?

[tepid drum]

yeah and i play Wizard and fireball doesn't work underwater lol

[glad canopy]

My favorite loadout

[untold stag]

If ur good ur running headshots

[remote moss]

yeah no, most people dont headshot except against really bad movement

[tepid drum]

i think it's 28-34

[whole furnace]

Up 10m clean.
Then you have 1-tap + 1 bleed tick

[remote moss]

bodyshots are more important

[signal cliff]

i never hit shit with slugs

[remote moss]

thats why dolch precision is a thing. if people could headshot, youd want faster fire rate with bornheim

[untold stag]

That makes no sense

[remote moss]

dolch precision is straight up better on the two tap

[glad canopy]

I play bow for satisfying headshots cause I only aim for heads out of habit (I have 2k hours on siege)

[remote moss]

the vast majority of headshots in the game are against shit players with shit movement. very rarely that much skill involved, just holding an angle and punishing someone moving in a straight fucking line

people say headshots are skillful. they are, to an extent. but realistically, its always easy beacuse the other player sucks

[untold stag]

That's why I said good players

[remote moss]

not because you were individually good

[untold stag]

Just say ur not good enough for steady headshots

[remote moss]

youre not hearing me

the good players youre thinking of are guaranteed to rarely hit headshots against other good players

lol

its always when a good player does shit movement

[whole furnace]

what

[remote moss]

rarely when its good movement v good movement

[quiet hinge]

this simply isn't true

[whole furnace]

That is non-sense

[remote moss]

i literally never get headshot, fuck you mean

[acoustic imp]

^^^

[remote moss]

mosin spitzer aint my problem, just cyclone bodyshots

[acoustic imp]

he's right lmao

[remote moss]

always bodyshots

when i DO get headshot, its cause my movement was shit

[untold stag]

If good players run bow this game kinda sucks

[sage belfry]

Whole trio of 3+ KDAs yet clash autofills me with a .90 kda new player with 20k total bounty

[remote moss]

they dont

dont expect 90% of bow players to know how to abuse its long range one tap

[sage belfry]

Serious question why even have the mmr system if it doesn't work

[glad canopy]

Oh yeah the more skillful kills are 2 tapping a guy with a dolch sure 😭

[acoustic imp]

who the fuck is saying that lmao

[untold stag]

He just wants to be right

[remote moss]

nah, just that its ultimately more consistent and wins are based in how fast you can punish before someone can get into cover or shoot back

so dolch precision is at the top

[untold stag]

Good players will consistently get headshots

[remote moss]

sure you can get a headshot with springfield shorty. but damn thats a waste of effort

yes, good players will consistently get headshots thanks to players in hunt having the worse movement possible

[acoustic imp]

console player talking about headshots and movement btw

[remote moss]

i get headshots all the time

i never goon over it, i know its cause theyre shit

its not important in the discussion

[glad canopy]

[quiet hinge]

in all seriousness, it's so 6 stars get more games. Match making is based of team rating, and that can and will vary up to 1-3+ stars based off how many people are on that server

[acoustic imp]

lol

[untold stag]

U guys are so salty

Add some pepper

Fk sake

[glad canopy]

Some paprika

[remote moss]

i do advise looking at hunt in a casual tone

just enjoy the solo 100 kills in less than 12 games gameplay on youtube

its more fun that way

much less fun if you pay attention to things, like any comp game

[glad canopy]

I’ve played solo like 10 times solo lol

[sage belfry]

Yeah I get that but like... you know how unfun it is to play against like one of the best console trios in na west while my autofill teammate is new and probably sub 10 hours?

[acoustic imp]

😭

[remote moss]

it was also designed so people were less likely to get stomped by better players that just had a bad game or two. it was a severe issue, youd always have a game that padded your ego, kills, and mmr every time you lost a few

[glad canopy]

I got the game cause my friend had 1000 hours and he got me addicted only playing with him since 11 hours in the game

[remote moss]

not that you cant still stomp, just that theres a lower mmr player that no longer has to deal with you, fortunately. but games still small so it hardly matters

[sage belfry]

Shit like that is why I quit playing the game, unless my trio is on the game isn't playable autofill puts me with new players with stormtrooper aim and puts me against a mega sweat running mosin spitzer

[quiet hinge]

i don't even agree with this, because the new mmr changes makes it so a 6 star can q up with a 1 star and roll that lobby

[glad canopy]

Trios is mid

[quiet hinge]

something that could never be done before the update

[glad canopy]

Duo and solo on top 🔝

[quiet hinge]

because you had to be within 1 star of each other to q up together

[untold stag]

The games meant to be trio

[remote moss]

small game is my comeback. but yeah, its still easy to abuse

[untold stag]

It's a team game

[remote moss]

i see 6 stars queued with 3 stars and shit, but theyre still stuck in 6 star

[quiet hinge]

no one is "stuck" 6 star

[glad canopy]

No it is not. Hunt showdown is not a team game lol

[sage belfry]

MMR should either not exist at all since it doesn't work anyways or maybe base it off KD

[untold stag]

Meant to be a team game with team work

Idk what game ur playing

[glad canopy]

My friend has been “stuck” in 6 stars since 2.0

[acoustic imp]

lmao

[sage belfry]

a .90 shouldn't autofill on my team against a trio of 3+ kds

[quiet hinge]

that doesn't matter, he's not "stuck" he just retains it

[remote moss]

no way for me to see it outside of that, anyway

[sage belfry]

Not only did they get a horrible experience since they were underskilled it put me down a player

[glad canopy]

That’s what I’m saying, just putting “stuck” lol

[quiet hinge]

I mean there is, you literally decide your own mmr in hunt based off your goals in game

[remote moss]

yo ive been looking for someone like you, what timezone does this happen in

the problem with premades is that theyre mostly made up of mid players that gang up on worse players, while using meta guns

[glad canopy]

Who has a 3kd too I play in 6 star lobbies most I’ve seen is a 2.7 on a cheater

[remote moss]

those guys arent necessarily good, just able to take advantage of teams being unbalanced in randoms

those same premades usually perform like shit once you get lucky with competent teammates, and you dont get instantly headshot

lol

[untold stag]

Ranked lobbies is a bad idea

[remote moss]

one of the best changes in the new mmr system is watching all those shitty premade streamers suddenly lose 80% of their games

instead of winning 80% of them because theres no competition

shit, most of the people i watch dont even stream anymoere, thats how shit they were

and they were "popular" or "known"

[acoustic imp]

because new players should just get wallbanged instantly for 500 hours lmao

[quiet hinge]

before 2.0 we also had ping based match making, you didn't get to choose your server

[glad canopy]

Most people I see that have high kds just sit in fuckin bushes sniping players from 500 meters

[quiet hinge]

you got to choose between 2 servers to go into

and you would q up and it would either be for example east or west

[glad canopy]

I wish I played before 2.0 it looks better

[acoustic imp]

?

[quiet hinge]

im glad i didn't start playing this game at 2.0 lol

because before 2.0 match making was extremely fair imo

[glad canopy]

I started playing in August 2025

Played once before 2.0 got rolled and uninstalled lol

[quiet hinge]

wasn't that at start of 2.0?

[remote moss]

actually, i guess thats why some of them swapped to exclusively solo gameplay

it makes sense

[glad canopy]

Yeah

[remote moss]

being a content creator is rough if you lose often

[glad canopy]

Pretty sure

[quiet hinge]

ya thats rough

to make a new player actually enjoy their experience you need to actually curate it now

[glad canopy]

I wanna start streaming with my new pc but I know I’m gonna get flamed cause I’m not that good most streamers are really good

[remote moss]

hunt was a better game when mmr was arrows, because a vast majority of your games would be easy if you had any fps experience

lol

[acoustic imp]

who cares aa long aas you don't sit in corners

[quiet hinge]

no one cares about how good you are, streaming a game and being bad is fine

[remote moss]

nah. most content creators in all sorts of games are "bad" at the game, but theyre good at entertaining. just be good to watch without being obnoxious

[quiet hinge]

people will stay for your personality, even if you're 2 star

[remote moss]

tf2 content creators are some of the best examples of this

there still exist exactly 0 good videos on all of scouts sub primaries

no one explains that shortstop with pistol shreds and lets you play 100% safe and farm people at the expense of being worse against overhealed people vs your team doing shit dmg

because the scout content creators dont understand that, only comp ones do, and they wont make a vid for that for whatever reason

[lavish bear]

Solo is so buns

[glad canopy]

[lavish bear]

SoT

Holy peak

[remote moss]

[acoustic imp]

[lavish bear]

Thats not fun

[glad canopy]

[untold stag]

Lol the bow one shots in an arm up close

[copper pier]

? queued as trio of 4 stars btw

[untold stag]

Wtf

[remote moss]

swap off, before its too late

[quiet hinge]

if you get flamed you just say "yeah i'm still learning the game" what are they gonna say

[lavish bear]

If i play solo i’ll play trios n js go to the first gunshot i hear

[quiet hinge]

only safe star rank is 3 and under

[glad canopy]

Trust me I quit a long time ago

[quiet hinge]

otherwise you'll be pushed up more frequently

[glad canopy]

I’m on rust rn I’m not happy about it at all

[lavish bear]

Rust💔

[glad canopy]

I just choose the games with the worst fanbases lol hunt has the best fanbase of any game I play

[sage belfry]

Rust is a 8/10 game with a 0/10 community

[remote moss]

hunt is surprisingly chill, if you can get people to chat with

[sage belfry]

Everyone is either cheating or running a 15+ player clan

[glad canopy]

-2/10 community

[remote moss]

hunt wasnt always this chill, we used to have constant complaints and people talking major shit with no censorship unless a streamer reported

lol

i miss those guys, they were fun

[lavish bear]

But ppl dont ever stop false accusing in hunt

[acoustic imp]

can you get your account banned for talking shit btw

[remote moss]

i think so, mostly because i dont see repeat offenders

[lavish bear]

Temp ban yes

[sage belfry]

Last I played rust I won oil with my duo and we got raided by a 12 man at the end of the day lol

[remote moss]

maybe they get muted? but if that were true, why hasnt anyone mentioned anything. temp bans most likely, ye

[lavish bear]

I believe its a week or two if u say a slur

Could be wrong

[glad canopy]

But most randoms I meet are fine

[sage belfry]

[remote moss]

brother, i had my fellow kids growing up from cod talking major slurs and shit

lol

in the talking shit to each other way, not the toxic way, but you know

[acoustic imp]

soft tf

[quiet hinge]

everyone did lol, no matter the game

[glad canopy]

I grew up on cod it just surprised me on hunt

[remote moss]

i meant in hunt

[glad canopy]

Didn’t know that shit happened in hunt

[remote moss]

it doesnt

we were having fun, not being toxic

so back to hunt

im kinda tired of most vids being solo gameplay

i swear im just not finding the right guys, only found one new guy posting mosin dolch vids and he was boring

[fathom shale]

Same but for different reasons

[lavish bear]

Holy w gameplay

[fathom shale]

I used to play with a bunch of the current top Hunt streamers, but they realized it's better for content to play alone so you get all the action and slowly drifted away

[remote moss]

its like, theres the cool one that shows off good positioning and skill, then duels against other mosin dolch, right. then there are the ones where they just two tap someone in the open that couldnt do anything

[fathom shale]

To a point where asking them to play again became a pretty common no or at best they would schedule it like a week away

[lavish bear]

Its more about the aim

[acoustic imp]

ew

[remote moss]

that blows, damn

[fathom shale]

Like sure it makes sense purely from content creation standpoint, but man it was sad from my pov as someone who just wanted to play with my OG teammates

[remote moss]

yeah but thats boring, especially when most of them are against moving in straight lines. 80m straight line headshot isnt interesting even if its harder

[lavish bear]

Depends who you watch

[remote moss]

hear me out, you have a certain amount of say as a mod, so its up to you to ruin their solo experience and force them out of their hole by giving feedback

[fathom shale]

[lavish bear]

I could not play solo every time i play

Its so boring

[glad canopy]

Solo isn’t happy

It’s just locked in

[fathom shale]

Nahh they are free to do what is best for them, they managed to turn this overall niche game to a career

[west nebula]

I enjoy solo at my very prestigous rank of 3 stars...

[fathom shale]

It just do be like that sometimes

[glad canopy]

Duos will be a top 5 experience ever

[remote moss]

playing aggressive solo exists and it works. the main difference is that you actually position extremely aggressively and well without just waiting around

[lavish bear]

I’ll play solo trios for fun but i need to be in atleast a call with my friend

[glad canopy]

Atleast in my experience

[acoustic imp]

this

[lavish bear]

No i usually js headshot 2 and full ego the last guy

[remote moss]

bah, youre too nice. at least try and see if you can get them into some kind of event where people meet up again

[lavish bear]

Works every trio

[remote moss]

spoken like a true solo player

headshot the first two because they were crouchpeeking a corner with shotgun

then the 3rd tries to sprint peek you and you hold the angle and hs

[glad canopy]

Yo bro I play Romero and I get insta pushed

[west nebula]

solo into trios makes me feel like this

[lavish bear]

I mostly js spawn in grab the first clue

[glad canopy]

There is levels to Romero players

[lavish bear]

Run to the first gunshot i hear

Wipe every team but bounty

[remote moss]

it is, need surefoot heals to escape, with vit shots too. otherwise you get tagged and die

[lavish bear]

Either catch up to bounty or im to far away

[rotund junco]

Same here. But it's so satisfying to smear the whole team

[remote moss]

humble bragging, fr fr

i cant believe you grabbed the clue

thats crazy work

most meta slaves just ignore it and run to the middle and camp

they used to, anyway. im glad thats not a thing anymore

[lavish bear]

I normally grab all clues but fight everyone on the way there

But now i grab one and find every trio in solos i can

Js because i cant play wit my friend

[remote moss]

so youre baiting your friend to hype you up

[glad canopy]

I grab all three free 150 hunt buckeroos

[lavish bear]

No its js fun to talk to someone

Get bored all alone

[remote moss]

thats what i said?

but yeah, point is to have fun

dont turn out like me, bitching and moaning about stupid shit

[lavish bear]

Thats what my friend does when we would play

Die once and complain for 10 minutes

[remote moss]

hunts that kind of game, you cant blame him

you need to smack the

out of him

[lavish bear]

It was always his own fault too js run at the team with no info and die😭

[remote moss]

thats how a good player plays

but we all learnt how to play hunt so cool cowboy stuff rarely happens anymore

praise his stamina

lol

[lavish bear]

Still a peak teammate

[hallow scroll]

I always sneak behind their backs JUST TO miss point blank 😭

[whole furnace]

I had the worst case of that the other day.
Tho to be fair, I was anticipating their movement when they suddenly stopped and shifted to other direction again lol

[hallow scroll]

me and the enemy were staring at each other 3 meters close to each other

he was reloading, i had full mag

i MISSED 4 shots and hit the last two shots, resulting in him dying

but he had a bomb launcher so he exploded my lower body and i bled to death

before he died

[whole furnace]

lmao

Honestly

yeah that was the only way that should have ended

[west nebula]

why does it say unknown player for ALL of these expect two?

was it only me and that group of people because im 70% sure it was

and the unknown players just werent in the match

I don't have hide players name on or twitch mode or whatever

[whole furnace]

because you don't get to see player info of people you haven't interacted with :)

(Picking up the bounty counts as an interaction with the whole match)

[dusty gorge]

can't you get shot by someone and still not know their info cause they didn't get the killing blow

hope they fixed that

[velvet socket]

Matchmaking in this game is a joke.

[whole furnace]

That is very true, I was just trying to keep it short

[whole furnace]

Eeeeh, more an issue of playerbase.

[half ruin]

was gonna say it could be a population issue

depending on server/time zone

[whole furnace]

Like I play EU, the most populated server and I get consistently matches that matches my teams MMR (6 star)

[half ruin]

I feel like the biggest MMR brackets are 6 and 3 star

[bold girder]

balanced queue

[half ruin]

where the sweats and the casuals reside respectively

[glad canopy]

It’s very easy to get stuck three star

[whole furnace]

That was proved a couple of years back :)
That the game, under worst circumstances with low player pop, split it between 3 and 4 star

[glad canopy]

I was stuck 3 star for 4 months and 300 hours. Playing with my 6 star friend then I hit .80 kd then I hit 4 star

[whole furnace]

Meanwhile I have like a KD of dunno 0.9 and I am more or less perma stuck in 6 star lol

[half ruin]

are you killing other 6 stars

[glad canopy]

I’ve dropped to .5kd

[half ruin]

consistently enough to outweigh your deaths

[glad canopy]

I usually drop like 2 kills 5 assists a game

I get carried by my friend

[half ruin]

I don't really have friends who play hunt

so I've just been playing randoms

sometimes solos but its not very fun tbh

[royal sparrow]

Solo can be fun, but it is a different skill set & you usually need a well rounded Loadout.

[glad canopy]

I met my friend when he was streaming sea of thieves 4-5 years ago and we have been really good friends since

[whole furnace]

Yeye, issue is more that I'm mostly breaking even with kill/dead and get a good amount of assist in.
I play Martini Henry a lot, which is perfect for tagging people and have my team-mates killing them lol

[half ruin]

assists have nothing to do with MMR
