hunt-general

[lavish bear]

It makes a big difference, for me atleast

Also change monitor settings and stuff

If you want you can increase it through nvidia control panel as well

[thorn oracle]

I'll give those both a try. I have fidgeted with the contrast previously and I feel like it's in a good place so I'll try messing with FSR and adjusting settings up/down as necessary. It's small movements I'm trying to get more of a grab on

[lavish bear]

Some hunt settings js ruin ur visibility

[thorn oracle]

I run a 9070 so it's messing with adrenalin as well and it can be a pain

do miss Nvidia control panel at times

[lavish bear]

Can try to watch a settings vid for a full guide on it

[thorn oracle]

I try to keep post processing down or off. Usually keep depth of field and motion blur off on games

Yeah, I'm gonna do some more research on it as well. I appreciate you guys throwing me some help though!

[full jungle]

Don’t be a nerd

Leave everything default

Trust

[desert acorn]

Butcher stole my kill

Didn't realize they were three noobs fighting him. They never saw us coming.

[royal cloak]

I'm such a noob.

[desert acorn]

You need babysittin'? Or you speakin in hyperbole?

[upbeat lark]

cant be as bad as me

im the worst there is

[desert acorn]

I was, for about 3 months

[upbeat lark]

im sill bad

[remote moss]

ok noobs, im the biggest noob here

[upbeat lark]

nah

me

[remote moss]

you wish

i have a 0.38KD

[upbeat lark]

its i and none else

[remote moss]

you cant compete

dont even try

[upbeat lark]

i have 0.08

[remote moss]

you have like 1.3

liar

[upbeat lark]

no

[remote moss]

OH i forgot to ask someone

@lavish bear yo what was the KD avg of the guys you met in 6 star outside premades?

[royal cloak]

Really?

[remote moss]

everyone i saw suddenly turned into 1.2 to 1.5KD, practically all passive as fuck if not rats

[upbeat lark]

no

its hyperbole

i have about 1.1

[remote moss]

see

SEE?

[royal cloak]

My kd is 6.5

[remote moss]

wow

i hope you get banned

[upbeat lark]

im still bad at the game tho

god its been so long since i play i cant hit a thing

[fair flume]

ooo

whats yalls ranks at

[remote moss]

we're all bad, fr fr

[remote moss]

i am the best 6 star player in the game

[fair flume]

I've never seen anyone with a kdr above 1.8 I think

[royal cloak]

I was 6/5 star.

But i haven't played in a while.

[fair flume]

noice

[remote moss]

lots of funny 3KD premades came back to test the servers

wouldve been fine if randoms were at the same skill level on the first day of the event

mfs

this is one of the things that pisses me off about premades, theyre never a problem when matchmaking is more balanced because theyre ultimately not that good as far as individual skill goes

[upbeat lark]

prepetually at 3*

[remote moss]

but when matchmaking is dead or smaller playerbase? they get easy dubs

[upbeat lark]

4* on a good day

[fair flume]

I wonder how kd is calculated
does it take into account like, your last X number of matches or all of your kills/deaths total
cause holy shit my first blundering 100 hours or so are gonna be dragging that down for a while yet

[remote moss]

all deaths and kills

[royal cloak]

My K/D is currently 1.3

[remote moss]

suffer for not playing the game earlier

[fair flume]

i cry

[remote moss]

ya, it sucks

[fair flume]

ayyyy same

[remote moss]

we should be able to reset KD, we'd all have much cooler stats

[unreal zinc]

im probably like a mid 5 rn

[fair flume]

actually i got dragged down to 2 stars earlier after trying to wipe a bunch of clash matches, trynna practice with the new army

i got back to 3 the next match so dw

[fair flume]

yes
all my kills are well deserved and pure skill and all my deaths are rng luck bullshit

the stats should reflect that

[royal cloak]

I'm currently 3 star.

[remote moss]

i mean, thats honestly the case most of the time

over 80% of my deaths the past few events have been from having my body be camped

i honestly just rq if im in that position nowadays to stop losing kd

every star except 6 star is a good place to be

people dont play optimally, which amounts to some of the most boring scum sucking gameplay youll ever experience in a multiplayer game

hm, yeah its like 2 to 3 deaths every body camp, thats fun

[normal kayak]

hardest part of prestige is wondering what the fuck im supposed to get in trait select

[mossy citrus]

5 star shitter

[normal kayak]

cant get physician cant get surefoot cant get witness cant get frontiersman

this is hell

[potent sigil]

Do y'all feel like everyone is playing different now because of the player lobby increase?

[remote moss]

its ok to be 5 star, its better than 6 star

[remote moss]

fuck yeah it was, everyone turned to ratting because of burnout from fights

worse experience ever

[potent sigil]

Felt like I was playing Tarkov again

[upbeat lark]

i think im down to 2* now cause ive been dying on clashes

[normal kayak]

clash doesnt do shit to your hunt mmr

[dusty gorge]

ya everyone is ratting now or was that how it always was

[dusty gorge]

https://tenor.com/kXIbVjdMB8x.gif

[normal kayak]

dude i will literally tell you right now

when i was in 4 star i ran clash solo

died to 3 stars like

9 fucking times

nothing happened

if that happens 3 times in hunt ill drop

crytek has deadass said that clash mmr doesnt affect hunt mmr

[potent sigil]

People used to play with a lot more gumption in the sense that dying wasn't that big of a deal because at some point a lobby would wipe. I definitely feel as though that there were a lot of times in the past with 12 player lobbies where a wipe would occur and people would finish a banish. Now, I feel like the game has changed overall. Yet I'm unsure if it's for the better or the worse.

[dusty gorge]

well it fucked my mmr so idk what to tell ya

[royal cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/fr-lie-gif-9063740662564569899

[short halo]

Bounty Clash
Bounty Clash now has its own Matchmaking Rating, distinct from Bounty Hunt’s. This MMR is initially set by copying the player’s Bounty Hunt MMR, then having it adjust accordingly as they play. Kills and deaths in one game mode will not affect your MMR in the other.

[dusty gorge]

2 weeks ago now

[normal kayak]

thank you

[royal cloak]

You cannot ragebait me.

[remote moss]

nah, games were fucking easier before the 15 player thing

[normal kayak]

have you considered maybe that you died in hunt, looked at your mmr, it was the same, then died in clash, went back to hunt and saw that it dropped

[remote moss]

i think about 3 events ago, there was a playstyle shift with more people doing things?

[normal kayak]

your mmr change shows a match later

because otherwise it would be really confusing

[dusty gorge]

I did one big shitty clash binge and it was fucked

[normal kayak]

consider you died in hunt before that

[low talon]

why dose Crytech want Gamertags/Steam Id? in the survey?

[normal kayak]

if clash affected mmr i would genuinely be dropping every single day of my life

[normal kayak]

doesnt it give reasoning on the question

pretty sure it does

[remote moss]

so they can sneakily gather data on your steam acc, scary scary

[royal cloak]

So they know who.

[remote moss]

they want to verify your experiences, supposedly

but the problem is basically everyone on the disc is complaining about rats, so its a shared experience

wonder if reddit and forums are the same

[royal cloak]

Reddit are the ones ratting.

[remote moss]

it almost makes sense, but not for an event where opinions are practically all the same

[dusty gorge]

my experience is theres more rats now that its gone

[desert acorn]

People tend not to whine as much on discord

[remote moss]

wish my cpu didnt fry, couldnt test the second half of event

😭

[dusty gorge]

honestly dont see how MORE chaos = more ratting, while my maps are fucking barren silent and full of rats now

[desert acorn]

Reddit is a cesspool.

[remote moss]

it was a playstyle change people made halfway, everyone started ratting again, but the problem is that it might've been a consequence of low playercount too

it wasnt chaotic, 3rd parties would rat on flank instead of getting the freeest wipes of their lives

[desert acorn]

When I get to the bounty, I always meet at least one team now. Wasn't like that with 12. Sometimes didn't run into anyone.

[dusty gorge]

lmao

so no matter what people rat

[remote moss]

nah people ratted MORE during the event

i was still playing here and there before event, game was fucking FINE

[desert acorn]

ratting is a valid playstyle... the true villains of hunt

[remote moss]

now theyre still ratting which is th efunny part

lost too much money

[dusty gorge]

today I legit spawned across the map polar opposite of boss lair and the fight was just waiting for us to arrive before it happened on us

cause the map was silent and ratmode

[remote moss]

lol

thats normal, i think. lots of 6 star fucks like to hide in the middle to 3rd party anyone trying to 3rd party or come late

[upbeat lark]

oof

[remote moss]

that sums my mammons experience a lot tbh

[normal kayak]

a bunch of people who are in this discord were confused about having 15 players despite the announcement i wouldnt be surprised if alot of people who arent in here have no idea that the test ended

[dusty gorge]

the map having 4 teams is idiotic idk what you even compare that too

[remote moss]

i think i only ever had 1 12 player game

[desert acorn]

Was that intentional?

[upbeat lark]

No

didnt think i could die that far

Bomb is at the bottom floor I'm at the very top I died trough that little hole

[dusty gorge]

ive been avoiding trios and mostly not playing the game but now its so blaringly obvious when I give it a real shot, that 4 teams sucks ass. idk why people havent been bored out of their mind with this game if thats their favorite mode.

[remote moss]

oh, regular 12 player trios? yeah its a joke

[dusty gorge]

time to carve a niche in duos I guess idk

[remote moss]

but you cant even up the player count because hunt is designed for

well, theres a good reason people rat

not everyone can nolife with meta, i guess

[upbeat lark]

this looks like something a witch would own

[dusty gorge]

whadyu mean

[remote moss]

i dunno, gameplay just doesnt feel good with smart 3rd parties

the good news is that we have unsmart scared 3rd parties occupying 99% of hunt so it doesnt feel like a problem

with more players, compound fights are just shit

[dusty gorge]

complaining about third partys is like standing in the rain and complaining about being wet

[remote moss]

yes, classic in any game

[dusty gorge]

its a extraction shooter

by way of someone spawning far they are a third party

should all spawns be fixed

were now in counter strike

[remote moss]

thatd be fun

[fathom shale]

I don't think anyone is complaining about the existence of any third partying

We just don't want more of it

[lofty sinew]

they are complaining about their perceived frequency of it

[dusty gorge]

percieve my ass

thats what I say to that

[remote moss]

your ass isnt all that, chief

[fathom shale]

It's the reason I swapped to trio queue from duo queue as a duo when they increased the players in lobby from 10 to 12

[dusty gorge]

https://tenor.com/bwwMCMXAUE1.gif

[remote moss]

but like, the reason 3rd parties arent worse than they are now is only because people are scared

if they were smart, hunt gameplay would be fucking unplayable, that mosin spitzer team would just destroy everyone the moment you tried to fight

but they dont, cause theyre hunt players, too scared. but they still 3rd party

[dusty gorge]

when did they do that

[lofty sinew]

it has never bothered me in any form. I am unbotherable.

[dusty gorge]

ive failed my hunt history lesson i thought it was 12 forever

10 sounds mad boring

[fathom shale]

When they added trios

10 was perfect for duos

[remote moss]

10 was peak, bro. everyone was crouchwalking everywhere

[dusty gorge]

when I hear someone say hey theres too many people thus there is too much ratting, does that make sense to anyone?

[lofty sinew]

the way hunt lobbies play out at least half the time you wouldn't have any idea if there were 10 or 12 players in the lobby

[dusty gorge]

doesnt a quiet empty map make people paranoid and rat? ever go to a night map and people get all ratty just cause its night?

[remote moss]

yes, people expect too much company, so they end up scared and unwilling to do much other than sit close to a fight so they can maybe get a really easy 3rd party

in regular ratting, they dont get close to company but sit around, hoping someone walks into their ambush

[dusty gorge]

the act of people fighting makes people want to join

this is like a twisted fucking rock paper scissors logic puzzle

[remote moss]

YES BUT THEY STOP HALFWAY CAUSE THEYRE SCARED

[dusty gorge]

what?!

[remote moss]

they get close enough to do something

and do nfuck all

lmao

it was my experience every time my teammates shushed me and wanted me to wait with them, i couldnt stand it

[lofty sinew]

if they do fuck all why is it a problem

[remote moss]

fucking insane

[dusty gorge]

thats so specific I doubt that is applicable to most matches

[remote moss]

because its boring to play and theyre more likely to lose

[remote moss]

BRO NO, LOL

[dusty gorge]

oh wait

they shushed you? eu player?

[remote moss]

wait howd you know

[dusty gorge]

fucking eu players

[remote moss]

i quit eu after a few games trying it out

[dusty gorge]

sorry but you guys need to shake a leg

stop shushing people

they did that to me too

[remote moss]

nah my guy was funny, not mean

we shared a kiss and all that

but still, theyre not capitalizing on anything cause theyre slow

[dusty gorge]

its the eu way to kiss each other and shush each other mhmm

[remote moss]

theyre just hoping a random 3rd party walks into this not behind us

[dusty gorge]

right the worst part

well in america when theres fighting we join in

more players more chaos less ratting more action more fun

[remote moss]

you wish

[dusty gorge]

UNLESS they are server hopping and some guy with poor ESL says NO NO SIR PLS MY FRAN

DONT GO IN SIR

[remote moss]

itd be funny if someone finally recorded a bunch of EU games with randoms and compared them to NA games with randoms on peak hours

then we'd have some solid "evidence"

[dusty gorge]

i dont need to document the sky is blue

its just so obvious

must be the fall of communism or something europeans had but we didnt idk

we'll never know

[remote moss]

oh yeah, after i put my steamid for the survey, i got recc'd hunt videos

invading my privacy, fr

warn everyone not to put their steamids, theres no "real" point if youre sharing a common opinion already in feedback

[dusty gorge]

tf

[remote moss]

coincidence, fr fr

[dusty gorge]

idk seems like they have a dossier or surveymonkey is in cahoots with youtube??

[lofty sinew]

in cahoots.

[dusty gorge]

doubtful

[lofty sinew]

lol

[remote moss]

nah more like a lot of steam games sell your info

if you play tf2, you will get recommended tf2 videos

[dusty gorge]

the GAMES sell your info

im dubious of this

[lofty sinew]

this is how internet companies work in 2026 my dudes. there are companies with entire shadow profiles of you out there that have never asked you directly for a single iota of data

[remote moss]

i cant hear you over the sound of taking a survey for $10

[dusty gorge]

which company keeps recommending me videos for nick mullen

idk who tf he is hes not funny please stop

[thorn oracle]

We gonna rock the 640x480 all low

[lofty sinew]

that is just the ragebait algorithm. they are after engagement, not entertaining you

[remote moss]

ive never been ragebaited on youtube

unless you count the funny recent thing going on

fr fr

[upbeat lark]

Dang I can't hit a thing with the infantry

[lofty sinew]

you've never been reccomended something ragebaity on your youtube feed. I find this hard to believe

[remote moss]

i mean, i got anime, parkour, games, documentaries, cute animals

nothing toxic

[lofty sinew]

youtube periodicaly checks to see if my brain has fallen out and i want to dive into the manosphere.

[remote moss]

oh i am getting more shitty ai videos

[jaunty patio]

It's probably discord's activity doing it, supposedly people have tested with new accounts talking about various topics and suddenly their social media feeds are that topic. Maybe someone can try the same with only Steam.

[remote moss]

erase your history and rebuild your feed

[dusty gorge]

anime, nothing toxic,

[lofty sinew]

yeah a lot of that too. allegedly they banned a lot of ai channels recently

[upbeat lark]

I for some reason keep getting police brutality shorts on my feed

I'm not even American

[thorn oracle]

5 minute crafts. Watch someone make something that makes no damn sense and wastes all your time only to watch another because you're so baffled

[remote moss]

ah, thats fucking annoying

[lofty sinew]

yeah nah. i have spent way too much time noping videos and channels for that to be worth the effort

[dusty gorge]

based algo

[remote moss]

doesnt apply to most of the games i play at least, just specific ones

i need to manually make it so they dont detect my games

bruh

no automatic button, need to manually filter every last one

[dusty gorge]

I can tell your algo is full of AI voice PoE Guides for trade league

cause of vaal orb avatar

if discord is the spy

[lofty sinew]

there is only one build creator for PoE who uses AI voice I sometimes follow. Magefist

[royal cloak]

Ai sucks.

[lofty sinew]

definitely a nuanced take

[upbeat lark]

I understand ai have its use but the miss usage of others to steal artworks without consents and act as if they're making them with hard work despise me

[fair flume]

i actually killed something with the nitro express

all i saw through the iron sights was someone's hand lmfao

[upbeat lark]

Thing can't one tap someone on the arm even with shredder ammo tho they are left with like 4 hp so the bleed will likely to kill them

[atomic coral]

All google and Discord and other such apps and services personalization turned off for forever.
No random videos just because I clicked a link or typed something.
Also Firefox with uBlock, so haven't seen an ad in at least 15 years.

[fair flume]

Yeah I'd tapped her with my nagant officer earlier

I'd actually nicked the nitro off someone else earlier so I was like fuck it, why not

wait, it's gotta be able to one tap on the arm. It does 364 base damage

arent the arm multipliers at 0.5?

[manic sinew]

Hunt Showdown

[dusty gorge]

no one ragebait me im about to just post this in bugs report straight up

[upbeat lark]

holly shit theres a whole team extract camping

on clash too

i can understand if its on hunt this is on clash you cant get any money from that

[short halo]

You can get money from looting the body

[upbeat lark]

There's literally 1.2m remaining

around 1m

[ripe hare]

hey, looking into getting my 1st skin after just recently prestiging for the first time, the cowl looks good just wondering if hes easy to see in game due to his arms/chest being shiny if anyone knows

[normal kayak]

marine

why does this individual have a big bar front

[upbeat lark]

To make it so that he won't get one br burnt by an immul exploding

And the flare trap

[normal kayak]

i mean those 2 are much more avoidable than being downed

[upbeat lark]

I just buy skins that looks the coolest without any care in gameplay advantage or disadvantage he shouldn't be that easy to see tho

[dawn zinc]

Big bar isn't terrible for clash

[upbeat lark]

Agreed it's not my preference but some like that better

[dawn zinc]

So many people using beetles and traps. Faster paced

[normal kayak]

if you have a reco yeah

getting downed more than once in clash is like

youre probably cooked anyway

[upbeat lark]

Raaaaaaa stop giving me Aden parish

[normal kayak]

didnt realise it was clash at first

[dawn zinc]

I play fast and extremely close in clash so if I'm down I probably aint coming back anyways

I hate slow distance players in clash. Just go play Hunt

[normal kayak]

however seeing someone with a big bar front in hunt does my head in

it makes so many recoverable situations way harder to recover

its practically throwing

[signal cliff]

but what about the recovery shot? 💉

[normal kayak]

what about being shot more than once

you wont play a perfect game every match

[upbeat lark]

Same

[next mesa]

I mean, running a big bar in front has its pros and cons

[normal kayak]

if you get downed more than once and have no way to get that bar back again youre practically disabled in alot of fights

because most people can one tap you to body

[upbeat lark]

It make me bewildered that there's times on clash where everyone is literally 60m away from the lair

[normal kayak]

either that or you eat your teams reco shots

[next mesa]

Having a big bar in front makes small vit shots more useful

[signal cliff]

im not very good, and prone to failure anyway, but i use the big bar, because i often lose the first small one do to stupid shit, including my own teammates.

[next mesa]

Not to mention, you won't need to use a medkit it a grunt hits you twice or a hive swarms you for a bit

[upbeat lark]

A med heals for 75hp right

[next mesa]

50 normally.

[upbeat lark]

Or 50

[signal cliff]

plus the event style we often have theres ways to get your bars back anyway

[upbeat lark]

Oof

[normal kayak]

i mean i feel like youll struggle with players more than ai

[next mesa]

Small vit is 75

[normal kayak]

and medkits can just be found in alot of compounds

the small vit shot i can understand

[next mesa]

Nah, I've gotten my fights screwed over a lot because I had to use a medkit to top up my health

[normal kayak]

but unless youre a fucking beast that doesnt get downed more than once its like

really risky

[next mesa]

I always run a recovery shot anyway

[normal kayak]

i mean yeah me too but i usually just find the medkit

i more often find one than not

[next mesa]

Sometimes, that's not possible in the middle of a heated fight

[quiet hinge]

I always run two recovery shots

[normal kayak]

i mean if youre in a heated fight you can use your gun on the ai which usually makes it really easy

[signal cliff]

gotta have one for the homies

[next mesa]

What's very nice about the health bars is that there's no real winner. Each one has valid reasons for using

[dawn zinc]

Ai has been kinda nutty recently too so losing that first small bar and having to heal up has been happening a bit more often

[quiet hinge]

can't see the point of 3 big in trios lol

[next mesa]

I feel like there's been increased AI spawns. I know people say this with every update, but this time, I feel like there is an increased spawn right

[normal kayak]

idk man the biggest issue ive ever had with ai was picking up a bayonet mosin while having a pax claw and realising way too late that i cant kill an immolator

which happened 1 time

[upbeat lark]

Punch with the med

[next mesa]

Makes recovery shots efficient, nice for small vits, better survivability with burn

[upbeat lark]

30 whole blunt damage

[dawn zinc]

I've had some crazy ai situations lately and with randoms it can get out of hand pretty quickly lol

[normal kayak]

i aint mike tyson

[signal cliff]

maybe, i keep thinking that they just increase the range of the ai

[next mesa]

There's a case for all configs

[upbeat lark]

I like 4 small bars better still but yea everything is good

[next mesa]

I just don't like how vulnerable I am to AI with 4 small bars

[upbeat lark]

Finally a different compound

[next mesa]

I typically run big small small big now

[quiet hinge]

to be honest i think the best bar setup is big small small big no resilience, and big big small small for resilience

[dawn zinc]

Big big small small is an interesting one

[next mesa]

I don't like having a small bar at the end. Too easy to lose a chunk to burning or it being chipped away by AI forcing you to use a medkit

[normal kayak]

tbf i usually have bigger issues than my teammates bars

[dawn zinc]

If you go down and dont have recovery shot then surely you want a big bar as a buffer. If you go down twice you're basically cooked anyways

[normal kayak]

my teammate last match TK'd with a frag bomb and i was already low hp so we got pushed and i couldnt do shit

[next mesa]

Happens.

[quiet hinge]

I feel the only AI that should ever hit you and lose a chuck is like an immolator if you don't want to penny shot it and want to spear it instead

but i understand not everyone runs a spear

[normal kayak]

nah cause someone on the team next to us shot off spawn and i started laughing about "whos throwing for their team"

and then i got cooked

[quiet hinge]

and not everyone knows that an ammo box one shots a hive bomb either

[normal kayak]

so i might have to execute that guy

[signal cliff]

deadly maraca

[upbeat lark]

yea this is most definetely a dao

dont mind me i just like a pointy metal stick that cuts

rapier saber skin when crytex

[next mesa]

I would like the Maynard but with iron sights

[upbeat lark]

it would basically be the springfield but longer reload but it would be fun

i failed the 1v1

[quiet hinge]

ya because removing quickscoping with a rifle that does 144 + dum dum would be akin to removing the aperture off the nitro

i'm not so sure about that boss

[next mesa]

Well, dum dum is a scarce ammo type. They can also just remove its ability to have dum dum

[quiet hinge]

"scarce"

[upbeat lark]

wait a minute it deals 144

[next mesa]

It's not terribly common in my experience. It's one of the rarer ones.

[quiet hinge]

i feel the only real scarce ammo in the game atm is frag arrows / explosive bolts

dum dum you can find nearly every single game

[next mesa]

Definitely not

[quiet hinge]

since so many weapons have it, its often in towers

[upbeat lark]

not me

[quiet hinge]

since that's how it appears to roll for ammo types in ammo crates

[next mesa]

I regularly scoured every tower, hunting tower and the usual spawns for ammo. dum dum appears in about 1 in every 6 or so games for me.

[quiet hinge]

this seems crazy

[upbeat lark]

im hunting for wildland so i pretty much scour the sniper towers most of them have fmj low velo penny and some obscure ammo that i dont even know exist

[next mesa]

Well, it's mostly my experience of it

So it's anecdotal

[upbeat lark]

the ones that have dum is about 1 in 5 games

[quiet hinge]

I often run haymaker/centennial sniper so after a match I just grab dum dum for the centennial and at this point i could run it as a normal ammo type I feel

[next mesa]

But Crytek can always just remove the Maynard's ability to have dum dum

[upbeat lark]

i tried to do that but dum is just so rare for me

[next mesa]

We need more medium ammo pistols. We only have two.

[quiet hinge]

that's so bizzare, but often times I'm mostly checking for explosive bolts for crossbow in tower so maybe I feel dum dum is so common in comparison

[upbeat lark]

probably

[quiet hinge]

the spitfire and trueshot? lol

[next mesa]

Those are just varients of the same guns

[upbeat lark]

thats scott and pax

[next mesa]

Trueshot is a pax. Spitfire is a scottfield

[quiet hinge]

ya im aware

[next mesa]

I'm not counting variants.

[quiet hinge]

im saying they're the only two in the game, just a joke

[next mesa]

Ah, that flew over my head lol

But I use pretty much everything, so maybe that's why.

[upbeat lark]

to be fair they are excellent guns

[quiet hinge]

because i feel the other variants aren't used too often

[upbeat lark]

normal scott feels too weird to use and pax is just pax

[quiet hinge]

is there a point to running a normal pax vs trueshot? ever? I guess if you want a claw on your pistol? (but why?)

[next mesa]

But I think it'd be neat if they added a "Volcanic Pistol Mk. II" and made it medium ammo instead of its real life counterpart using the equivalent to compact ammo.

Normal pax is cheaper and shoots a little faster.

Sometimes that matters.

[upbeat lark]

price maybe i dunno their price diff

[next mesa]

Or you may want to run a specific skin

[upbeat lark]

i like spitfire the most out of all of them

[next mesa]

Sometimes drip is the only reason to run a weapon.

[upbeat lark]

the skin also looks cool

[normal kayak]

several matches with no fog

bring scope

cant see inside a building from 40m away

[upbeat lark]

enigma looks cool

[next mesa]

That's why you declare very loudly that you hope that you have a fog map. That way Hunt hears you and thinks "Well, I gotta give what this guy doesn't want" :p

[quiet hinge]

after 4k hours I've started to regularly use a sniper scope and I can't believe how busted scopes really are

[upbeat lark]

oh yea i dont think i have a skin for the trueshot

[next mesa]

Trueshot has some pretty skins.

[quiet hinge]

i feel like the new one is the only usable one for me

[upbeat lark]

this one discounted in store too much accesories for me

[quiet hinge]

i hate this design so much

[next mesa]

Different strokes for different folks. I think it's a gorgeous design.

[quiet hinge]

would be great if it didn't have the skull beads all over it

[mortal idol]

design is good but it's overused

[next mesa]

That gives it charm

[quiet hinge]

ill show you the skin with the most charm in the game

lol

to be honest i wish we had more simple skins like this

[mortal idol]

having the same skin design 100 different weapons doesn't feel unique at all

[next mesa]

Not my kind of aesthetic. I typically don't like the look of weapons that look like they've been sitting in a damp basement for years.

[mortal idol]

I miss old battlepass

[upbeat lark]

it looks cool ngl but theres too much accesories to my liking

this one is perfect

[quiet hinge]

ya if you like staring at a cowboy every time you ADS

[next mesa]

Yeah, that one is very nice.

[normal kayak]

i want more skins that just have nice wood

like the wood on the wildland

[upbeat lark]

Is he handsome

[quiet hinge]

absolutely not

[normal kayak]

you dont need 500 over the top engravings on a gun for it to look good

just make the wood nice

[next mesa]

Some people like over the top

I want more gaudy weapon skins ;p

[normal kayak]

i know

but we have alot of over the top already

[next mesa]

But I want more

[normal kayak]

we dont get many nice wood skins

[quiet hinge]

ya we have completely different tastes it seems

[upbeat lark]

How about engraving with good woods

[quiet hinge]

i hate all the gold skins

i think the only over the top skin i really like is moonflower berthier riposte

[normal kayak]

engraving on silver maybe

[normal kayak]

moonflower isnt over the top at all

[next mesa]

Moonflower has a lot more subtlety to it.

[normal kayak]

if you want an over the top berthier look at heathens ruin for the marksman

its doing way too much

[upbeat lark]

I haven't seen the moonflower I don't think

[normal kayak]

i would like the skin if it didnt have so much shit on the side

[next mesa]

I forget what that one looks like

[quiet hinge]

best skin in the game imo

[next mesa]

I don't run the Berthier very often.

[upbeat lark]

Too blurry

[normal kayak]

oh yeah what the fuck

[next mesa]

Oh, that one's fine

[normal kayak]

why are the images like

getting worse

[upbeat lark]

Oh yea compared for the two the riposte looks cleaner

[upbeat lark]

He is not handsome at all

[next mesa]

Well, of course he won't look handsome considering you can count the pixels on the texture ;p

[normal kayak]

i bought that skin thinking it would be cool seeing the cylinder and then i realised id see some dumbass cowboy more often

[quiet hinge]

this

I've never been so baited lol

[normal kayak]

he doesnt look good on ultra either dw

[upbeat lark]

Welp guess the pax option for me is 3 bad ones

[next mesa]

It looks fine. Doesn't bother me much

[upbeat lark]

The last laugh looks a bit weird for me

[next mesa]

I think the skin I dislike a lot is the Rancor

[quiet hinge]

almost there

[next mesa]

Which is an old Uppercut skin

[upbeat lark]

Especially with the little fur on the bottom of the handle even tho I can't see it

[normal kayak]

100%

its so focused on one area and that area doesnt even look nice

honestly dont even need a skin for uppercut

it looks good on its own

not to say uppercut skins arent nice

[next mesa]

Yeah, it does.

[normal kayak]

theres one id like to have that i forgot the name of

[next mesa]

The nitro express rifle also looks nice without a skin

[upbeat lark]

The uppercut skin I have looks

Ehh

Not great not bad either

[normal kayak]

i think the skins i mainly dont like are the ones that just look old and fucked up

bear tooth is not a good skin man

[next mesa]

I have all Uppercut skins except for the Rancor.

[normal kayak]

its a rotting piece of wood

[next mesa]

I really dislike Wyrmwood.

[normal kayak]

i like the moss on it

[normal kayak]

yes

its so shit

i dont understand why people buy it

[next mesa]

Almost literally.

It looks like you took the weapon, shoved it up a meathead and pulled the trigger. It's grody.

[full jungle]

Only need one. The Lord’s Prayer uppercut

Best uppercut skin

No debate

[next mesa]

That's the red and black one, right?

[full jungle]

Yea

[next mesa]

Yeah, that one is nice. Though, I prefer the Night Tyrant or Snake Eyes

[full jungle]

Snake eyes is really nice but idk I just love the design of Lord’s Prayer and the colour scheme

[next mesa]

But sometimes I'll base the skins I choose on a theme rather than my own personal preference.

[normal kayak]

the best skin for base pax to me is certain victory

its simple and clean

looks great when ads

[next mesa]

If I run plague doctor, I'll try to avoid shiny skins

[snow hatch]

is there a next bp?

[quiet hinge]

in march

[upbeat lark]

this is the one i have

[full jungle]

March

[upbeat lark]

from a bp skin i belive

[normal kayak]

buddy might be doing a money spread in hunt skins

[upbeat lark]

i dont really like that the rope covers the irons a bit

[full jungle]

Frrr

[next mesa]

If it didn't have the bones on it, I think it'd look pretty nice.

[full jungle]

I can’t bring myself to like any of the skins with the bones

Or the rusted out ones

I prefer the cleaner simple esque skins

[next mesa]

Yeah, though it fits if you run the Cain

[snow hatch]

dang so february is booring huh

[quiet hinge]

with no 15 players sorta

[full jungle]

Always

[next mesa]

There's apparently some inter-event stuff added. So you can still earn pledge marks and such with the new supply point.

But other than that, Hunt feels pretty bare without an event going on.

[normal kayak]

getting pledgemarks rn is hell

[full jungle]

It’s cool but not as cool as they made it out

[snow hatch]

FR

[normal kayak]

the new supply point just gives you a note and its 1-3 marks completely random

[next mesa]

Pledgemarks are guaranteed to spawn at the post cart, so there's that.

[normal kayak]

if you want marks, your best bet is killing other hunters and taking theirs

half of my clash matches i come out with 6 marks from people on their 2nd match hunters

more reliable than that fucking note

[upbeat lark]

pledge marks became an actual scarce recource now

[normal kayak]

i do like the idea of the mail cart and i think its fine the way it is

[next mesa]

I'm going to miss blademancer.

[normal kayak]

but i wish pledgemarks were just easier to get

[dawn zinc]

Crazy to me that people need a battlepass or something to enjoy the game they play

[upbeat lark]

theres pretty much only 9 tops in a game if noone have one already

[snow hatch]

what i just do is go to clash then if I win , ill go straight to bounty hunt, but im gettin bored already

[next mesa]

Less so a battlepass, and more so an event.

[dawn zinc]

Like the battlepass and events are dope but good old classic Hunt is not boring

[hallow scroll]

Dang dude

[quiet hinge]

its not that its need to enjoy the game, its moreso a different gameplay loop

[normal kayak]

ZAMN!!!

[upbeat lark]

dayum the fool got some cake

[next mesa]

Dude's throwin' it back

[snow hatch]

so i cant get bored that's why

[next mesa]

When hunting down hellish horrors doesn't pay enough so you gotta go on the OnlyHunters.

[snow hatch]

link pls hahaha

[hallow scroll]

anything to hold an angle i guess

[hallow scroll]

I didn't know he had all that

👀

[quiet hinge]

so when we making the crossbow do 275

[next mesa]

When steel bolts get removed.

[upbeat lark]

neither do i

[next mesa]

Or nerfed.

[quiet hinge]

fucking deal, take them

[normal kayak]

steel bolt being a straight upgrade pisses me off

[next mesa]

Yes, it's so annoying

Give them wall pen at super close range or something

But not have them a straight upgrade. Make them deal less damage as well

[quiet hinge]

I honestly just want the bows consistency in close range

for the crossbow

[normal kayak]

run shotbolt

!!

[upbeat lark]

lower average damage for longer one tap chest range maybe wait no thats a upgrade still

[next mesa]

People underestimate shotbolt because of how uncommon it is.

[quiet hinge]

this is like the polar opposite of consistency

[upbeat lark]

shotbolt is really good

[normal kayak]

consistently 1 taps

[hallow scroll]

sounds good

[quiet hinge]

it definitely doesn't, its been bugged for a full year

[hallow scroll]

I'll try it after class

[quiet hinge]

it sometimes does

[next mesa]

It'll consistently one tap to the chest more than the regular bolts will

[normal kayak]

nuh uh...

[hallow scroll]

Maybe a subsonic ammo nagant as the secondary gun

[upbeat lark]

imma try how far it can one tap on the range

[next mesa]

When I ran shotbolt, it felt perfectly fine

[normal kayak]

only issue i actually run into with shotbolt is the trading not working

[next mesa]

It can just be tricky to use at times.

[quiet hinge]

it has nothing to do with tricky, it's literally bugged right now

[normal kayak]

if you die before it actually goes off on contact you just get scammed

but other than that it gives me no issues

[hallow scroll]

Bow Ironside??👀

[normal kayak]

WHAT

[next mesa]

I mean, I don't know about that. Always killed when I hit the chest.

[snow hatch]

bro give me a good weapon combo rn , ill play it

[next mesa]

Bow + Centennial Shorty Silenced.

[snow hatch]

perks?

[next mesa]

If you wanna be spicey, run poison ammo w/ the shorty

[quiet hinge]

its been bugged since the start of 2.0

[hallow scroll]

Cho ko nu is basically an ironside crossbow right

why not bow

[normal kayak]

drilling shorty + bomb launcher frag charges

[normal kayak]

its not

[next mesa]

Surefoot, 100 hands, poltergeist

[upbeat lark]

lower damage

you cant one tap with it

its to me a worse shredder

[normal kayak]

also bow doesnt need an ironside at all and it would be really hard to design

[hallow scroll]

do the same for the ironside bow

[next mesa]

It's the loadout I've been maining for the past couple months

[normal kayak]

it has a very good firerate

[quiet hinge]

haymaker slug / centennial pointman hv

[hallow scroll]

It's a joke

buttt

[snow hatch]

ill test it rn

[hallow scroll]

how about a single shot bornheim

Like the sparks pistol

[normal kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/whiplash-gif-9431479052148052111

[next mesa]

Quad barreled Rival, but as a scarce weapon.

[quiet hinge]

this is the auto4

[snow hatch]

never used a quad rival or never seen

[quiet hinge]

er quoted wrong person lol

[next mesa]

Well, it's not in the game I'd just think it'd be cool if we did get a quad barreled rival

[upbeat lark]

dang shotbolt one tap arms and legs

[snow hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/fall-kirby-drop-falling-deep-gif-17081698

[hallow scroll]

with deadeye sight

I have an idea

[normal kayak]

aperture.

[upbeat lark]

still do at 30 meters too

[next mesa]

Crytek should add in a Romero w/ a deadeye scope as a meme

[hallow scroll]

Like the lemat carbine, the nagant should also have a carbine version, RIGHT???👀

[quiet hinge]

i wish i played haymaker back when it did 126 damage holy moly

[next mesa]

I wish the Lefat had pretty skins

Gimme my shiny gold skins for it

[quiet hinge]

the red one is nice

[hallow scroll]

The bronze skin is SO bad but i still use it anyway

bcause it shows I spent money for it

[upbeat lark]

it seems that as long as you hit someone the shot bolt will 1 tap at any range

[snow hatch]

my bad gonna need to unlock the variant of centennial

[quiet hinge]

sometimes

[next mesa]

Well, it doesn't always one-tap. Sometimes you'll get grazing hits

[unreal zinc]

when it wants to kill someone it will

[hazy crest]

I’ve gotten direct headshots that don’t kill

[unreal zinc]

when it doesn't then well it won't

[next mesa]

Chest shots have always killed with the shotbolt in my experience.

[unreal zinc]

you must pray that it kills everytime you use it

[hallow scroll]

for me, trauma and silencer variant of the centennial is good

[normal kayak]

i dont like the centennial trauma because it doesnt look cool

[snow hatch]

solo?

[quiet hinge]

i think the current silencers we have are pretty well balanced between them, at least frontier / carbine specifically. I think the frontier is the best silenced gun in the game

[hallow scroll]

Nope whenever i solo, the enemies somehow play like delta force and use tactical manuevers on me

[next mesa]

I don't think the silencers should've been nerfed, only the Krag silencer. Crytek has a questional sense of balancing at times.

[quiet hinge]

I mean imagine all ammo types being only heard from 50m away

they needed to do something

[normal kayak]

crytek balancing is funny

[snow hatch]

anyone got a chance to play with post malone hahaha

[next mesa]

Well, no. None of the silencer weapons were ever a problem UNTIL the Krag silencer came out

[hallow scroll]

I like how I missed the easiest shot but hit everyshot afterwards

[next mesa]

Then they just gave it a blanket nerf for whatever reason

[normal kayak]

shredder on release was fucking insane so now the flamethrower comes out and its straight buns

[upbeat lark]

god i really hate how the rope covers a little bit of the sight on this skin

[quiet hinge]

tbh i understand this position but I think its a buff/boon to some of the silenced weapons like the frontier

[next mesa]

Well, it hurt the winnie in a bad way

[normal kayak]

please record in a lower bitrate my computer is trying so fucking hard right now man 😭

[next mesa]

Now you rarely see it because of the damage nerf

[quiet hinge]

the damage nerf is irrelevant though

[upbeat lark]

same

[next mesa]

Not really. It did noticeably affect it

[upbeat lark]

actual 30% increase in memory usage from a single vid

[hallow scroll]

GODDAMN 150mb

i swear it was on 16

[normal kayak]

looking at this screenshot is actively warming up the house

[next mesa]

Silencers were nerfed because the krag silencer was very oppressively strong

[quiet hinge]

the way I look at the frontier silenced is that once you get levering it's better then it use to be. The fact that blast sense is now a purchasble trait and using subsonic ammo brings it back to its old velocity and not appearing on blast sense is a buff to the frontier

[next mesa]

Well, no one runs blast sense

[quiet hinge]

lol fucking what?

[next mesa]

There’s too many other way more useful perks

[quiet hinge]

play a silencer for a week with a normal ammo type with a cain skin and watch how many people will instantly find your location

[normal kayak]

tbh i notice people running blast sense actually IS something that changes per server

[next mesa]

I do play with silenced weapons

[normal kayak]

on NAW i see it only every now and then

on asia everyone has it

[upbeat lark]

I rarely see any blast sense user on asia

[next mesa]

And I don’t see any real difference

[normal kayak]

?

when i played asia every single person i paired with had blast sense

it was rare to not see blast sense

and this was like

not long ago

[quiet hinge]

personally im glad people don't use blast sense, they're the same people who say "WHERE?"

[next mesa]

Remember, my main loadout has been bow + Cenny Shorty silenced. And they’re always clueless when I shot at them from afar with the cenny

[upbeat lark]

Oh my

[next mesa]

There’s too many other more useful perks

[normal kayak]

tbf its not a bad thing to ask if your teammate has a more precise idea of where the enemy is

[quiet hinge]

this entirely depends on your loadout

[upbeat lark]

The randoms I got paired up with rarely have blast sense alltho I am at 3* to be fair

[hallow scroll]

good enough?

[quiet hinge]

of course it isn't but its certainly better if they know instantly themselves

[hallow scroll]

i think it is

[normal kayak]

i didnt expect you to actually go and change it simply because i said so but yeah that will probably be fine for most people

[next mesa]

I mean, my perk choice doesn’t change too terribly. Other than maybe adding iron eye, or bullet grubber or something that enhances my weapon.

[quiet hinge]

can you show me your level 50 trait selection?

[hallow scroll]

No a lot of people had problems with the videos i send also

[normal kayak]

theres honestly too many traits that are just like must haves

[upbeat lark]

Blast sense took like 2 points so it's never in my starter selection

[hallow scroll]

and it takes ages for them probably

[upbeat lark]

Agreed

Resil and surefoot already took 9

[quiet hinge]

its always in mine, blast sense witness both scope traits

[normal kayak]

resil shouldnt be a trait imo

should just be a thing everyone has

[hallow scroll]

Not me though cause i run 750 mbps👀

[normal kayak]

why should i be able to get up without my hp

its just -3 trait points every hunter and if i dont take it im screwing myself and my teammates

[normal kayak]

oh dude

[snow hatch]

you said shorty sillenced right?

[normal kayak]

watching a high bitrate video for me is like

watch 2 seconds of video

wait 4 seconds for it to load

watch another 2

i usually just press play and then pause for a while so it loads before i press play again

[normal kayak]

i think surefoot should stay as a trait because surefoot is fucking insane

[upbeat lark]

Mine is resil surefoot and vigilance

[normal kayak]

6 trait points to give you way more opportunities

[upbeat lark]

Why vigilance cause I've been killed by the traps my teammates took way too many times

[upbeat lark]

It's broken

[normal kayak]

i think any teammate who places a trap and doesnt ping it upon placing it should be lobotomised.

theyre not common but when it happens

its infuriating

[upbeat lark]

You can legit run while stopping a bleed

[normal kayak]

i know

[next mesa]

Let me see if I can remember right off the bat…

Surefoot, 100 hands, poltergeist, doctor, physician, iron eye, necromancer, resilience, quartermaster, frontiersman, packmule then I save my slots for death cheat, relentless remedy and berserker.

[normal kayak]

you can run while doing anything thats the point but damn its insane

[upbeat lark]

You can cook grenades while people is running

Its a must have

[normal kayak]

ive learned to play without it for my first match on a hunter because id rather have necro and vulture

[upbeat lark]

It's why I tried to get myself used to using guns without iron eye

[quiet hinge]

these are basically how my trait progression goes

[normal kayak]

no resil first match?

[quiet hinge]

never

[normal kayak]

but why

[next mesa]

Yeah, same. That comes until later for me

[normal kayak]

i couldnt live without resil

[upbeat lark]

Resil comes first for me

[quiet hinge]

because first match i run big bar front

so its relatively pointless

[normal kayak]

i suppose if you have big bar front it doesnt really mean anything

[next mesa]

Surefoot, hundred hands and Poltergeist for me. I've grown to appreciate poltergeist a lot

[quiet hinge]

also teammates can block for you, if you're being necro'd out in the open you've already fucked your team

[upbeat lark]

People rarely use guns that have 125 or more damage on my lobby so I took it so that I won't get downed by a flipping nagant from 40m away

[normal kayak]

tbh

my teammate blocked for me earlier cause someone had sparks

he jumped

the guy managed to hit my chest through their legs

[quiet hinge]

even with resil you die there then

so whats it matter

[normal kayak]

well yeah

but im just talking about bodyblocking

it was scary

[quiet hinge]

body blocking is always a risk, but so is letting them take a free shot on a guy standing up lol

[normal kayak]

he didnt even hit stomach hes managed to hit the fucking inch of my chest he could see

crazy ass guy

[upbeat lark]

It matters when people don't use guns that deal 125dmg or more

[normal kayak]

well their bar setup changes that

[quiet hinge]

I can't count how many silencer teams i've killed because of blast sense, seeing them shoot a dog cage 200m away and just ambushing them

[normal kayak]

i hadnt considered how big bar front changes resil value because i just dont run big bar front

[next mesa]

I don't encounter silencers enough to warrant sacrificing my go-tos for Blast Sense. Not unless I felt like changing things up for the sake of it.

[quiet hinge]

big bar front is nice, its just a quality of life thing

[upbeat lark]

Same

[normal kayak]

genuinely i barely run into silencers

if theres a silencer in the match its a solo

[upbeat lark]

I don't meet silenced user much to warrant a blast sense

[normal kayak]

who i will just choose to ignore while running near cover

[snow hatch]

fr

[normal kayak]

because im not fighting a fucking solo who runs a silencer at a distance

ive deadass had multiple instances where ive just ignored the solo and been able to extract

[quiet hinge]

idk i really enjoy being able to punish any silencer that isn't using subsonic lol

it's like dauntless really

[dusty gorge]

vetterli silencer is the only manly silencer

[quiet hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/bounty-django-reward-gif-20411440

[next mesa]

I can usually figure out pretty quickly where they're firing from anyway

[normal kayak]

i couldnt use vetterli silencer tbh

[snow hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/speech-bubble-gif-27609617

[normal kayak]

because you lose the 130 vetterli does

[snow hatch]

u b ro

[normal kayak]

and at that point you should just go and use cent shorty silencer

[quiet hinge]

if a frontier is 50m away shooting from a bush with subsonic only aiming for the head, the only option is to run really lol

[normal kayak]

speaking of vetterli

god i fucking love the vetterli

[upbeat lark]

I'm really close to unlocking the cyclone

[next mesa]

Well, at the MMR bracket I'm stuck in, no one runs a winnie with subsonic

They'll just shoot you in the head anyway with long ammo

[quiet hinge]

6 star is the same, you can get to 6 star literally using a quad derringer

you can have a .5 K/D and be 6 star

[next mesa]

I also don't see people using the quad D very much in 6 star

[quiet hinge]

subsonic frontier works great in 6 star

[next mesa]

I've been stuck in 6* since they refactored the brackets

And it's primarily just long ammo

[quiet hinge]

theres no such thing as stuck in 6*, mmr is a choice

[next mesa]

No, not really. I just play and I'm stuck in it

[dusty gorge]

vetterli just cannot go wrong ever, perfect gun

[upbeat lark]

Although the vetterli is good regardless

Fast cycle with iron eye

130 damage

Comfortable MV

[quiet hinge]

ya you'll never drop out of 6 star even with a .5 KD

[primal sierra]

food

[quiet hinge]

even with a K/D lower you'll stay 6 star

[next mesa]

I don't even know what my KD is even at now. I've not checked in a while.

[quiet hinge]

I don't mean your personal K/D

[next mesa]

But yeah, KD has no effect on MMR

[quiet hinge]

I mean if you get a kill on a 6 star in a 6 star lobby, and die twice to 6 stars, you'll retain 6 star easily

[next mesa]

I have died to 3* a few times and still stay stuck in 6*. It's pain up here.

[quiet hinge]

lol but do you understand what i'm saying?

[next mesa]

I know how the MMR systems works

[dusty gorge]

isn't effectively like your actually an 8 star depending how deep you are in it

[upbeat lark]

I've played in a 6* lobby a few times the place is hell

[dusty gorge]

they just stop giving you more stars

[upbeat lark]

People wallbanging everywhere

[quiet hinge]

I've seen a lot of people say that, and be completely wrong so i'm never sure anymore

[next mesa]

Well, it's based on who killed you and who did you kill (MMR bracket wise)

Then there's modifiers that are in play

Like solo, duo, randoms, invite

[quiet hinge]

ya for team mmr

I don't think theres mmr confidence whatsoever in the game

[next mesa]

Yes, your personal MMR and team MMR. Team MMR varies. Personal MMR is pretty rigid and is based on who you killed/who killed you

[dusty gorge]

some hermit throws chicken bones in a hut somewhere thats how mmr is calculated

[quiet hinge]

yeah I should've specified when I talk about mmr I specifically am talking about personal mmr

[dusty gorge]

makes no sense fu if you say it makes sense

[quiet hinge]

though I feel bad for 4 stars, since you are then thrown in regularly with 6 stars

[next mesa]

I've been playing the game for quite a long time and I've been a moderator here for nearly as long as I've been playing. While I may not be up to date on some of the newer things (Due to my occasional breaks) I know how most of the core mechanics still work.

[quiet hinge]

it seems that 1-3 star is a safe haven bracket and then 4 is you get what you get

[dusty gorge]

you've seen the screenshots of 1 stars vs 6stars ect

[next mesa]

I've fought them as a 6*, so yes

[snow hatch]

how do i see my mmr?

[quiet hinge]

this is probably because the queued with someone higher which is diabolical

or playing on a dead server

[dusty gorge]

nope

[next mesa]

Uh, honestly, I never bother to check anymore so the only why I know is in the match details

[normal kayak]

you see it at the end of a match in team details, keep in mind it updates next match if you drop or go up mmr to avoid confusion

[normal kayak]

theres no other way its just in team details

[quiet hinge]

got a screenshot for me? cause I bet you'll show me one with a 3 person lobby

[next mesa]

Honestly man, I've not really bothered to explore the UI. I just play gaem and shoot boolets

[snow hatch]

how do i up my mmr

[dusty gorge]

no i dont care to do that just to argue with u

[next mesa]

Kill other players

[quiet hinge]

lol

[next mesa]

If you kill players with a higher MMR than you, it impacts your MMR rating more than if you killed someone with equal or lower MMR.

[snow hatch]

thats it?

[dusty gorge]

the MMR system remains wack no matter what screenshots I go digging up

[next mesa]

Yeah. It's based on who killed you and who you killed.

[quiet hinge]

ya just kill other players and dont die = mmr go up

[snow hatch]

so its not about the bounty anymore?

[quiet hinge]

what about it seems wack? i can explain it to you

so
if you kill someone same mmr as you, you will go up a little, if you kill someone higher mmr than you, youll go up a good chunk, if you kill someone lower than you, you wont go up much at all.
if you die to someone same as you, go down a little, die to someone higher than you, barely go down, die to someone lower than you, go down alot

[quiet hinge]

never has been tbh

not since i've played

[next mesa]

personal MMR is pretty sensible. It's team MMR that's absolutely weak.

[quiet hinge]

this 100%

[snow hatch]

i see

[snow hatch]

hahaha dang

[normal kayak]

full team of 6 stars and team mmr will be some shit like 3.5 stars

[next mesa]

For as long as I've been playing, it never factored in bounty.

[snow hatch]

Soooo mmr of bounty hunt and clash, is it diff?

[next mesa]

I've had my team MMR be set to full 6* when though we had a 4* on our team. It's crazy.

[normal kayak]

Bounty Clash
Bounty Clash now has its own Matchmaking Rating, distinct from Bounty Hunt’s. This MMR is initially set by copying the player’s Bounty Hunt MMR, then having it adjust accordingly as they play. Kills and deaths in one game mode will not affect your MMR in the other.

[snow hatch]

well i guess from now on ill focus on killing rather than gettin that bounty

[upbeat lark]

Bounty clash is quite fun

[quiet hinge]

i still think its crazy they allow 1 stars to queue with 6 stars, i started playing when you could only be 1 star above/below

[normal kayak]

some people claim its bugged and does affect your hunt mmr but quite frankly i think they just lost in hunt, then got on clash and dont know it updates a match later

[upbeat lark]

One time I found a team that uses the saber

Like everyone uses the saber

[snow hatch]

SUS

[snow hatch]

thanks bru

[next mesa]

Well, normally, they shouldn't. 1* is the onboarding rank and they should be limited to other 1*s and bots.

The only time that changes if they get invited into a team of higher MMR our beyond the onboarding process.

[normal kayak]

dude 5 and 6* players being on a team with 1* players is evil

i dont like running into them

because chances are the 1 star is just fucking lost when he dies

[next mesa]

Trial by fire

[normal kayak]

you shoot them and theyre probably wondering where you were and how you killed them

[upbeat lark]

Only time they could is when they got invited by 5* or 6* and it shouldn't affect the matchmaking MMR too much

[quiet hinge]

its so common in this discord for 3 star teams to advertise 3 star and 6 stars joining and lying about their mmr for the first game

[next mesa]

I haven't used the lfg in this discord in years.

[upbeat lark]

Same

[next mesa]

I did a little during the peak of my Hunt playtime

[upbeat lark]

Actually I've never used it once

I already got a circle of buddies to play with it's incredibly fun to play with friends

[normal kayak]

my teammates go as far as i play with pink and if pinks not on a play with 2 people i added from getting them as randoms

[quiet hinge]

it can be a nice meme, i've met some nice people on the lfg

[normal kayak]

if i play randoms now its because no ones on and im bored as shit

and i usually just run 2 matches then realise randoms is hell

[next mesa]

The friend that I play with most often is also a 6*. So playing Duos can often be very... miserable.

[snow hatch]

experiment 1 (bounty clash)
kill 2 and extract without gettin the bounty , if the mmr up then sheeeeeeee

[quiet hinge]

I mean you don't need to experiment, thats how it works

[snow hatch]

dang

FR?

[quiet hinge]

that's literally what we've been telling you yeah

[dusty gorge]

if only this wasnt a team game then

solos only make it so crytek

would be sick ngl

[next mesa]

Solos only was a thing

It was a huge flop

Disasterously so

[quiet hinge]

ofc it was lol

[dusty gorge]

as much as a flop as soul survivor rn?

[normal kayak]

if we got solo only it would prob not have many people playing it

[remote moss]

solos only is a good way to play hunt

[next mesa]

Soul Survivor isn't a flop

[normal kayak]

id rather play solo clash than play solo only

[dusty gorge]

the 3 1 stars that play it really enjoy it ur right my bad

[normal kayak]

i dont want everyone having necro

[next mesa]

Nah, I still get into matches decently quickly as a 6*

[snow hatch]

killed 4 now im runnin hahahha

[quiet hinge]

don't even think mmr matters in soul survivor I think you get thrown in with everyone

[normal kayak]

soul survivor doesnt care about mmr so that doesnt really matter lol

[quiet hinge]

unless they changed that

[normal kayak]

it shows your hunt mmr, but it doesnt mean anything

its the one mode where you will queue against a 1* as a 6* and its not a surprise

[next mesa]

Hm, I thought it had its own MMR system

[normal kayak]

nitro what servers do you play on?

[next mesa]

US West & East mainly.

[normal kayak]

hm

[remote moss]

too few players, fr fr

[normal kayak]

i play west and i rarely have a full soul survivor match

[remote moss]

otherwise soul survivor would be 6 star only

[normal kayak]

even at peak hours

[next mesa]

I played Soul Survivor a couple weeks ago and got a bunch of back to back full matches

[normal kayak]

i do believe you

maybe i just got unlucky i didnt play it too much

[modest fiber]

soul survivor just uses everybody, no mmr. you do have your own kd stats there though separate from bounty

[upbeat lark]

only time i ever got in a soul survivor is once

and its literally a 1v1

[normal kayak]

on asia thats not a big surprise

asia already has less players than other servers even in hunt

[modest fiber]

it's unfortunately unpopular. it's occasionally busy but rarely

[next mesa]

I've tried solo a few times. Can't really bare to do it on Bounty Hunt, but I tolerate it well enough in Bounty Clash

[normal kayak]

i like solo in clash but i hate it in hunt

in clash i get to do whatever i want

in hunt i have to actually play careful or the game will see me die to someone lower and genuinely come to my house and blow up my pc.

the most reliable gun in this thumbnail is the fucking throwing spear ngl

[dusty gorge]

just be ballsy as fuck and keep on the move and settle for 1-3 kills and bounty

no rachtaz clipfarming

I find that fun

[normal kayak]

i dont want to settle

[next mesa]

Dual dolches can be oppressive w/ devil card

[dusky trout]

@full thunder wanna play hunt

[normal kayak]

he aint got devil in those consumables so

[next mesa]

True, but could find one in match.

[dusty gorge]

you just need to bring chokebolts and blank decoys mon ami

[normal kayak]

that isnt very reliable

[next mesa]

No, it's more ideal to bring the Devil Card.

Especially if you're intending on bringing duallies.

[normal kayak]

devil was fun asf to use

i like the tarot cards

[dusty gorge]

even if you do lose its still funner than trios but atleast you get hunt dollars

[next mesa]

Tarot cards are absolutely a great addition. I hope they add more.

[peak cave]

I had strangely good success with the Cavalry Saber in Clash earlier lmao

[dreamy bloom]

Did they bring ping lock?

[normal kayak]

when will crytek let us use medkits on horses to just become cavalry?

[dreamy bloom]

Was ping lock recently introduced

[peak cave]

If you have over 225 I believe, you cannot join a server

[dreamy bloom]

I see, was this change new?

[peak cave]

Months back at least

[dreamy bloom]

Interesting, that means my internet is tripping recently

[normal kayak]

youre also not meant to say you got a warning

Discussing disciplinary action = no no
