its an audio bug from a high ping player using it

[frigid ibex]

think it's just desync bug

[raven totem]

crytek said, na you died.

[hazy crest]

Avto always sounds like that to me

[hoary pecan]

Demod yourself

[neon glacier]

they were sniping with t

[hazy crest]

Since the last major update

[frigid ibex]

I'll do it when every mod is asleep

[hoary pecan]

Hey when are we getting another pact event

I wanna pledge to someone

I wanna be a part of something bigger

[frigid ibex]

i kinda miss pacts too even though they were always one-sided

like massively one-sided

[hazy crest]

dizz give me mod I promise I’ll only ban people that say the bow isn’t op like 3 times

And then it’ll be out of my system

[frigid ibex]

that means you will ban me

[hoary pecan]

The last one I remember was the dead people and the dead people haters

[hazy crest]

Perhaps

you said you could change

[frigid ibex]

um

[hasty wharf]

they usually got 2 of them roughly even in power then the third was either WAY too strong or complete shit

[frigid ibex]

nerf bow

[hoary pecan]

Saying perhaps like this chat has an IQ over 4

[frigid ibex]

[hazy crest]

Success

[dry hawk]

character development

[desert acorn]

Well done. For us, he was using a mailcart as cover when I finally turned on him. I took the first shot, hit him, then pushed to just outside of Mom-expert bow range. He'd run himself outta frags in our first encounter, because he split ammo types

[hazy crest]

Welcome to the good side of the fight. How does it feel

[hoary pecan]

@frigid ibex this is why I got nitro peep the banner 🥹

[frigid ibex]

I've pledged

[hazy crest]

ayyy

[south shore]

Blows my mind that people still think bow is op

[hoary pecan]

Look at my banner it's beautiful

[frigid ibex]

lol

[hoary pecan]

Should I at the purple guy

[frigid ibex]

no clue who it is

probably not

[hoary pecan]

The MF who was making fun of you for being a mod so your opinion doesn't matter

[hazy crest]

That’s why the internet is great

[neon glacier]

https://klipy.com/gifs/jhope-arson-jhope

[frigid ibex]

oh right

[hazy crest]

Say something once and you never live it down

[frigid ibex]

i remember why i should demod myself

so i can have an opinion

[hasty wharf]

too late the screenshot has your name in red GG

[empty eagle]

Part of the NDA is having to glaze everything they do

Actually it's the whole thing

[hoary pecan]

NDA?

[empty eagle]

Sigh here to pledge your life to crytek

[royal cloak]

@frigid ibex where can i find a brute in Stillwater Bayou.

[empty eagle]

No Disagreement Agreement

[flat plover]

Night good

[hazy crest]

night gud

[empty eagle]

Day gud

[hazy crest]

Fog can go bye bye

[frigid ibex]

ish

[empty eagle]

If fog was dynamic fog would be neat

[royal cloak]

Ok thank you.

[empty eagle]

Ie, water n rolled in n out n stuffs

[frigid ibex]

idk the other spots

[hoary pecan]

Add lightning

[empty eagle]

Listen for bear

Night storm would be dope

[dry hawk]

fog + rain + night = superior weather condition

[empty eagle]

Not heavy

Like, drizzle

Drizzle thunderstorm would slap

[hoary pecan]

I don't like when the pajados fly away in the storm it psyches me out

[empty eagle]

Honestly drizzle only version of rain would be cool

I like thundershower

But also just the drizzle would be dope

[jolly parcel]

My favorite tactic is pretending to run away and shotgunning them

[empty eagle]

My favorite tactic is laying on the ground

[jolly parcel]

can we have ash bloom + heavy rain

[dry hawk]

between cyprus and davant as well

[jolly parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/huntshowdown-gif-26584341

[hoary pecan]

Can we have hail on gulch

[empty eagle]

Yes

This is me

I think they used me for that gif

I am the 3 playing with 6s

[hazy crest]

True

[hazy crest]

I forgor

[empty eagle]

There's a bomblance in the other hand you can't see

I actually had some good runs the other day with slate slug

[hoary pecan]

Use penny shot only

[empty eagle]

[empty eagle]

Petition to add dollar shor

For lance

You fire bb at people

[hoary pecan]

Derry

[empty eagle]

Idk what that is

Derry the dlatypus?

[hoary pecan]

Be like the polish guy prestige with only derringers

[empty eagle]

Illegal

[hoary pecan]

Polish people?

[empty eagle]

No

Derry only runs

[hoary pecan]

My cat just climbed me

[empty eagle]

Tho stealing guns from people are run

Fun

I like emptying out their guns

[hoary pecan]

True

It's like salt on the wound

Nah kill their duo with their gun

[shadow vault]

Men

I have a hunter at level 49

What do

[empty eagle]

Sacrifice them to the hunt

[jolly parcel]

my favorite clash loadout is (rifle medium slot) + bomb launcher double wax

[empty eagle]

Wax frags my beloved

[jolly parcel]

like a week ago i got 12 hit markers on a team that was camped inside

[empty eagle]

Lollll

I just find they're good for clearing

[dry hawk]

ball

[empty eagle]

When I assume camper

Frag and push

[hoary pecan]

Get a friend, kill him, leave

[jolly parcel]

i find it more pleasing to continue fragging them

[royal cloak]

You noob.

[shadow vault]

Alright im going in solo with 2 stamina shots and 2 “the judgement” tarot cards

The goal is to get the hunter XP envelope from the event

And bounce

[jolly parcel]

will subsonic ever get a buff

[normal kayak]

let us pick up the chalk on chalk boards and draw with it

[shadow vault]

It doesnt need a buff

[hazy crest]

Kinda does

It’s pretty bad

[main flint]

Subsonic is really useless imo.

The noise reduction barely makes a difference.

They will hear you regardless like 80% of the time.

[jolly parcel]

you have to be over a certain range for each ammot ype

it differs by ammo type

[main flint]

It just stops it from like more than 1-2 compounds away.

[jolly parcel]

compacta subsonic i think its like 20-40 meters

[normal kayak]

you overestimate the average hunt player

[jolly parcel]

i also listen to music while playing this game and im in 6*

[normal kayak]

balright

[main flint]

True...

I mostly die because they do dumb plays more than anything. 😭

It's unpredictable.

[normal kayak]

yeah

[main flint]

I expect them to be smart and they aren't.

[normal kayak]

when i first got the game fighting 3* was just so fucking weird

they do the weirdest shit and it works because you dont expect it

LMAO

cent and dumdum spawned right next to eachother

[royal cloak]

Thank you.

@unique trail wheres the dusters killi

[south shore]

JUST

[unique trail]

BRO im at a work conference all week

I fear my dusters skills will be DUSTY when I return

[quick wren]

He went too fast 😭

[royal cloak]

Fortnite reference?

[unique trail]

Fartnite

[woven pilot]

shotbolt is so good

[normal kayak]

well you barely hit the guys leg what did you expect

from the looks of the damage thing on the left you shot next to his leg and it barely hit

[acoustic imp]

aim better

[woven pilot]

is it not supposed to 1 tap if it simply hits him

its a bolt

with a shotgun shell loaded in it

[acoustic imp]

not exactly how that works

on impact it shoots a shotgun shell

and the pellets from that can

miss

if you hit the edge of their hitbox

so when only a few pellets hit the edge of their legs its not gonna do shit

[dry hawk]

shotgun shell from shotgun: 🤢
shotgun shell on a stick: 😎

[normal kayak]

servers dying?

[acoustic imp]

yo what the FUCK happening to the servers

[dreamy cave]

Theyre dying duhhh

[acoustic imp]

yo

[stray field]

HOW IS THAT A FAIR MATCH?! EVERYONE ELSE IS LIKE 1-3 and we got a 5 star who killed us all?!

[royal cloak]

Skill issue.

[acoustic imp]

theres 3 of you

and one of him

[outer iron]

Nah that level of disparity is crazy. They never had a chance at killing him as 1 to 2 mmr.

[acoustic imp]

most 5 stars are ass idk

[normal kayak]

WWWW

1 ping im goated

[stray field]

he a 5 star. we were 1s and 2s-

[acoustic imp]

3 of you though

[dry hawk]

solo queues are usually put into lower mmr lobbies

[royal cloak]

Major skill issue.

[stray field]

that doesn't really matter??? that means he a skilled player and if the stars mean anything for all you guys know my team could have been green as hell

[stray field]

same with low mmr solos too. i swear the MMR so bad-

[outer iron]

Yeah they really shouldn't be higher than two of your average.

[dry hawk]

if hunt had more player distribution among its MMR brackets then it would work a lot better
but as it stands this game is not getting enough players to fully populate low mmr lobbies

[crystal bay]

Match MMR difference of 0.5 isn't too bad at all

[dry hawk]

that being said no matchmaking system is ever perfect, or even good for that matter. Its one of those uphill battles that every pvp game has to contend with

[hallow sail]

Sometimes I feel like the game would be more fun without quartermaster. See a lot of people in 6 star always having a rifle + shotgun in some way. Would be interesting to actually see two medium-slot loadouts more.

[crystal bay]

I think they could just hide the mmr tbh

[dark epoch]

Remove tarot cards and hide mmr/kd

[hallow sail]

Ew no way, tarot cards are mad fun.

[royal cloak]

!ban @dark epoch

[unique trail]

Hi guys I will play hunt showdown 1986 tomorrow

Thank you

[hazy crest]

A bold statement

[hasty wharf]

is that the sequel how do i go that far into the future

[hoary pecan]

Does being with ur duo make you worse or is that just me

[royal cloak]

Much more important than the inferno update.

[dark epoch]

Compared to playing as a solo?

[pure sierra]

How come there's a lot more games in NAE compared to NAW

[hoary pecan]

Yea

[unique trail]

Isn't population more in NAE

[dark epoch]

It's bc you're playing with those on your level, solo pairs you with lower mmr people or something for whatever reason

[unique trail]

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS

[pure sierra]

I thought it was just so they don't get people from the EU "Ping abusing."

[hoary pecan]

Wait deadass?

[pure sierra]

I'm from OCE so I have to play NAW to get actual players

but my ping is 150 there

[hoary pecan]

But how come when I'm in trios I do great

[pure sierra]

yes, there's a MMR division calculated on your mmr if you're playing solo

[dark epoch]

Fewer fights, everyone is more aggressive

[royal cloak]

You can't ping abuse in this game.

[hoary pecan]

Like me and my friend aren't bad by any means but we ain't the best, and together we subtract one anothers brain power, but when we play with our other friend we pop off and he doesn't even carry us

[royal cloak]

It's just an excuse for terrible players.

[pure sierra]

if you're a 4 star going solo against duos and trios, your calculated as a 3 star or maybe even a 2 star to make up for the numbers disadvantage afaik

[hoary pecan]

Oh yeah star

I forgot about that

[pure sierra]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i find 3 star and 4 star mmr games the funnest

being able to goof around

[dark epoch]

Honestly pretty lame it pairs you with "worse" people as a solo, especially since there's a built in party finder. You should expect it to be more difficult going in by yourself.

[hoary pecan]

I was 3 star and it was all 1 stars and one duo of a 2 and a 3

[sacred robin]

Alguien que hable español?

[spark plaza]

[shadow dome]

I know I'm blind but tell me this isn't a direct torso hit.

[royal cloak]

Armpit

[shadow dome]

Wrong, it was a complete miss.

[royal cloak]

That should've counted

[normal kayak]

whats your ping

[shadow dome]

Not perfect but a stead sub 50.

[normal kayak]

weird

theres blood so you shouldve hit him

[hearty bloom]

i like when im killed by a solo 1star camping a bush with a drillin.

[dry hawk]

the sword gave him immunity

[hazy crest]

Shot got deregistered prob

[shadow dome]

Probably. I realize this one was a miss, but I'm chapped about the other one.

[stray field]

that's true but still hurts alot

[high shell]

holy i want the spinning scottfield animation in every single pistol except for the semi autos

[onyx yew]

Whats the best loadout?

[hazy crest]

The one you have fun playing

[dark epoch]

Handcrossbow + combat axe

[onyx yew]

And your lying

[onyx yew]

Eh fair

[hearty bloom]

the little chinese hand crossbow with explosive bolts.

[dark epoch]

no

[devout otter]

the best loadout is camping

[onyx yew]

Never

[devout otter]

with a one tap

[onyx yew]

Camping is lame

[high shell]

dog ah shi ai

[neon glacier]

its the skin

[neon glacier]

the one that covers all ranges

for console=katana

[acoustic imp]

DAMN

[sick umbra]

when start event xp boost?

[short halo]

What boost are you referring to?

[shadow dome]

When x100 exp hunter level boost event

[winged sonnet]

Wait is the bear truly named brute?

or is that a bug?

[hollow crescent]

it is named brute

[shadow dome]

Brute is the non boss one

[hollow crescent]

ursa mortis is the circus bear

[winged sonnet]

oh ok

[raven totem]

theres boosted event xp this weekend

[shadow dome]

Its hard to max a hunter as a solo. If I don't cheese, my MMR goes up and then I die to a team of some sweaty boys.

[raven totem]

meanwhile hitting true 6 is increadibly hard (team mmr)

there is an upper cap that most people will hit as long as you're not just taking picks and running

[royal cloak]

My wifi is acting like shit.

[raven totem]

get an eathernet cord, just drill some holes

idk obligatory did you restart your router?

[acoustic imp]

@undone ingot ggs bro

[normal kayak]

winning when you prestige is a challenging experience. sitting on trait screen and idk what to do cause i cant buy physician or frontiersman.

[royal cloak]

Going to after this match.

[acoustic imp]

was i clipping through the wall or just

yeah

[shadow dome]

I used to play on 5G. I could play any server I wanted.

[dusty gorge]

exp envelopes give insane exp rn

[raven totem]

Eggnahgg is pretty cracked

[acoustic imp]

he blew my head off through a wall at 80m

idk if it derendered or i was clipping or what

[raven totem]

yup, pretty good

[shadow dome]

Did they buff it? It might be worth cheesing it because I've tried a dozen time on joan and I can't seem to get it.

[raven totem]

where you standing in a normal idol spot? could have also been fishing

[dusty gorge]

i feel like getting 2-3 and a boss kill is a max hunter gurrenteed

[royal cloak]

Eggnahgg is terrible.

[dusty gorge]

they are really easy to find in towers

bringign a bomb launcher for meatheads aswell ur set

[hollow crescent]

I wasn't aware the regen shot has a different color

[fallow topaz]

That... Should be purple

That sticky icky mixed with purple drank

[shadow dome]

Holy, I used to run two bosses as a solo and hit several envelopes each run and hope I got close to maxing. Thanks for the tip.

[normal kayak]

@dense sleet we have been unironically treating hellborn as a 4th because hes on every map

and it fucking works

we had a fight at blanchett with him and he killed someone

took up so much attention

[hollow crescent]

I'm wondering if the rainy weather has something to do with it, but I have never seen it changing color before even during rain so idk

[hallow torrent]

Why is the world not on fire?

[normal kayak]

inferno is a time of day. youll get it soon

just keep playing

what is penny shot even

[dark epoch]

pennies

[dusky wing]

Why can the dog bites hit several people at once

[winged sonnet]

imagine shotgun, but money instead

[royal cloak]

Are you speaking of Hellhound?

[dusky wing]

Yes

[fallow topaz]

record player plays I Don't Wanna Set the World on Fire

[royal cloak]

Do you want that to change?

[dusky wing]

No I want to know what the lore implications are

[normal kayak]

most ive ever seen in team details lmao

[hazy crest]

Why not

[gleaming perch]

what's with all the shotguns today? 👎

[gusty sand]

?????????????

[frank locust]

I do believe you're injecting yourself with Louisiana Lean.

Keep it running, be high while gunning lol

[normal kayak]

spear has better pen than crossbow gg

[gleaming perch]

holy fuck shotguns

all i've seen tonight other than 1 mosin

not fun at all

[timber cosmos]

How the fuck do you guys actually use the new army

holy shit I can't hit NOTHING with it

[knotty obsidian]

Close range weapon

[timber cosmos]

I know that brother the sights are just so ass

[left orbit]

slow af mv

[left orbit]

coz HH are bs

[fallow topaz]

I hit my shots. /Jk

[whole mist]

Hellhounds will be the most slop ez ai to kill, just standing still, until you’re in a situation where u need to kill them quickly then they bust out the ninja moves and dodge everything

[onyx yew]

This game needs to fix its match making

Why tf am I getting into games with people who are prestige 30

[amber cosmos]

I mean, prestige has nothing to do with skill … that just correlates to timespent on getting XP, you can be max prestige and fucking suck at the game

I usually queue with people around my prestige or get thrown in with max levels

At the end of your match, just compare the MMR of the players you queued with

[amber cosmos]

They’re annoying, simple as is

Glorified crows/horses just giving my location away

[onyx yew]

Im tired of trying to have a goid game and going against people who have no lives

[amber cosmos]

That’s what happens when you have challenges involving both shotguns and slugs

[onyx yew]

Not to mention secondarys are useless

[amber cosmos]

Secondary weapons are not useless at all

[high shell]

me too

[amber cosmos]

You’re building your kit wrong if thats the case

[high shell]

trynna chill some games between 4-5 stars and i queue against a no lifer with 8k hours whose profile picture and entire profile is based on hunt

[onyx yew]

Wow a weapon thats only good at close range when im already using a shotgun

[onyx yew]

Yep

Its sad

[high shell]

they need to add a few more stars and let those losers be happy with themselves

[amber cosmos]

What happens when you run out of ammo or need to shoot further than your shotgun

Like it’s easy to pair a secondary, especially with a shotgun

What shotgun are you using with what ammo?

You could also run quatermaster and take a shorty version of a rifle

[untold stag]

CRYTEK
GIVE ME REMINGTON MODEL 1858
AND MY LIFE
IS YOURS

[onyx yew]

Romero I think its called

The one that has a hatchet on the bottom

[amber cosmos]

Wait, are you like really new to the game?

[onyx yew]

I bought it back in 2020 but quit since no crossplay

[untold stag]

literally Romero Hatchet

i used it, its kinda funny

[onyx yew]

Ah figures lmao

[amber cosmos]

Ah, yea the romero hatchet is ok I guess, I’d rather use the romero alamo or the default variant

[onyx yew]

Why

[amber cosmos]

Well the alamo is a speed loader and works a bit differently

Also dont mind me, the hatchet version is fine, I was thinking of the hatchet shorty romero

[onyx yew]

I will try it after this game, I need to figure out what guns are good cause im basically 2v1 rn

[amber cosmos]

Romero is good though, cheap and packs a punch

I’d suggest pairing it with a LeMat or Pax as a secondary

[onyx yew]

Alr shall do some looking after this

[amber cosmos]

If you plan on using the Pax, use DumDum ammunition

Typically, I only use the Romero for when I play Bounty Clash

[normal kayak]

why would you run dumdum with a shotgun as your primary?

better off running hv so you have some decent range

[amber cosmos]

Because bleed fun

[mild quiver]

I think a lot of shotgun players in their mind just fully commit to being close range, especially with a 3 slot shotgun and single slot pistol

Not saying they should but I think its a common mind set

[amber cosmos]

I mean, shotguns are ment to be used pretty close range tbh, unless you’re using slugs

[normal kayak]

shotgun with pax trueshot hv is possibly one of the most fun loadouts i could never

[onyx yew]

IM SO TIRED OF RATS OMG

[amber cosmos]

Pax trueshot is just goated in general

If I’m not using it, I’m using a LeMat or Conversion

Hot take, not a fan of the officer tbh

[amber cosmos]

You gotta weed them out then

[onyx yew]

I love not being able to go anywhere because of some loser rat who wont leave HIS MOTHERS BASEMENT

[amber cosmos]

Are you playing solo bounty hunt or with randoms/friends?

[onyx yew]

Friend but hes high af rn

[amber cosmos]

Duh, there’s your answer

[onyx yew]

I just dont get why this games mmr is so fucked

[amber cosmos]

I cannot focus on Hunt while high/drunk at all

[delicate narwhal]

bro i'm never playing with a silenced maynard person again. literally watching us fight from a bush, still not shooting. watching our bodies get looted, won't take a shot. what the actual fuck

[royal cloak]

It's called stealth bro.

[amber cosmos]

Every single one

[onyx yew]

Not to mention i will never max out a hunter ever which SUCKSSS

[amber cosmos]

Dude, you just claimed to get back into the game recently, baby steps

You gotta get a feel for the waters

[normal kayak]

make headshotting grunts always play the soft headshot noise so that if i shoot a hunter in the head 180m away through a shitload of bushes i know if i hit him or a random ass grunt next to him

[amber cosmos]

But if you’re playing duos with someone high, expect to loose

[mild quiver]

Hit exp boons you will max a hunter eventually 👍

[normal kayak]

ive just clipped a fucking grunt man 😭

[amber cosmos]

And make sure to kill meatheads/bears

[amber cosmos]

Lol

[mild quiver]

The saddest feeling in hunt is getting a wall bang headshot but its a grunt 😩

[amber cosmos]

I finally ran out of money so I could prestige again, halfway through 21

The road to 100 is but a long one

[onyx yew]

Im about to give up istg

This weapon sucks ass

[gleaming perch]

FUCK SHOTGUNS

[onyx yew]

Better then weak ass rifles

[gleaming perch]

I fucking hate it

[gleaming perch]

0% I'd be happy if they just removed shotguns entirely

[keen vale]

I stopped playing a long time ago, are they still the best weapon at any distance?

[onyx yew]

Shotguns are more fun and are better then rifles

Rifles are the worst weapons in this game imo

[amber cosmos]

Skill issue I guess

[gleaming perch]

I miss back in the day when everyone just had a winny

[amber cosmos]

Just don’t get close to people in fights, keep distance

[gleaming perch]

I didn't say I lose to them. I said they make the game shit

[amber cosmos]

Said every game ever with shotguns

It’s just a certain weapon archetype ment for a certain play style…simple as adapt to counter

[fallow topaz]

This isn't very rootin tootin of ya

[onyx yew]

Shotguns are the 2nd best weapon in video games

[gleaming perch]

If you have bad aim

[amber cosmos]

He sleep reacted me because I’m right and it’s a cope

[fallow topaz]

I'm more of a pistols only person myself. (Yes I am bad at games)

[amber cosmos]

Lol

[onyx yew]

Pistols are best but they suck in all games

[brisk ruin]

Love both rifles and shottys for diffrent reasons

[gleaming perch]

Sleep reacted cause I fall asleep hearing the same responses parrotted

[fallow topaz]

It depends there's usually one overturned pistol in any game

[fallow topaz]

Cool I guess. But what does that have to do with being a pistolero?

[gleaming perch]

Agreed, I'd love an all pistol weekend

[fallow topaz]

I get the feeling I hit a very niche time where there were whole clans of pistol specialists. XD

Because this sounds like y'all gotta try it

[brisk ruin]

Maybe it's a hot take but I never really liked the bullet drop amount on pistols, I miss my 80 meter headshots with pax (not used to bullet drop with it now)

[fallow topaz]

Pax Trueshot with High Velocity is the dream.

[median zinc]

scottfield spitfire my beloved

[fallow topaz]

I am also curious about Schofield precision

[lofty sinew]

bullet drop just means you need to learn it. which just means, pick an entirely arbitrary amount to aim high, and see if it starts to work

[brisk ruin]

I mean yes but I love the old pax skins so I use a base one, that and I like the slightly higher rate of fire since I can hit fairly consitently in it's range.

[fallow topaz]

And they hated him, because he spoke the truth

[amber cosmos]

Real and true

[fallow topaz]

That's fair.

[timber cosmos]

i know high velocity is goated but i often end up overcompensating my leading

[amber cosmos]

But it’s not me tryna be an ass when someone’s complaining, I did give a legitimate suggestion afterwards

[fallow topaz]

I'm just kinda glad the Uppercut isn't like "the best" pistol.

[lofty sinew]

just learn FMJ lead imho

[amber cosmos]

Nothing wrong with being alittle cheeky ;p

[fallow topaz]

The... What's the definitely not Mauser called?

[brisk ruin]

I get that, im used to 400 vel most of the time anything above makes me aim ahead to much.

[amber cosmos]

I don’t really like the uppercut tbh

[ancient cave]

I am fond of the lemat pistol

[amber cosmos]

I am thankful I finished those headshot challenges

[fallow topaz]

Is probably still the best all around but it's not "have to use exclusively so"

[gleaming perch]

Ok, sure. That's how this discord goes though. I say there's problems with the game being fun, and then people on here attack me personally

[lofty sinew]

i love the uppercut still. still feelsgreat to use, and i still kill people with it more reliably than any other pistol (totally anecdotal feels)

[gleaming perch]

That's this discord in a nutshell

[amber cosmos]

[fallow topaz]

It's so good. It's probably my favorite Hollywood revolver.

[brisk ruin]

I always back my ranger with it, they pair very well together.

[ancient cave]

I don't think I've seen it used in too many movies besides like the quick and the dead

[fallow topaz]

Beating someone with levering with dual Uppercuts is so dumb, lucky, and awesome. I'm with you.

[empty eagle]

Lemat is in mad max iird

[amber cosmos]

LeMat is just good for versatility

You can fan it, deals good damage, umm a freaking shotgun upclose like cmon

[empty eagle]

Thor has one

[fallow topaz]

The Cartridge LeMat is in Westworld and Mad Max.

[fallow topaz]

Ye

[empty eagle]

Ayyyy

I remember going LEMAT when we watched it lol

[fallow topaz]

The Quick and the Dead one was the accurate cap and ball version

[brisk ruin]

yeah it's one of the jack guns of the game, the other being the winnies guns that can oporate on there own for the most part.

[fallow topaz]

9 shots plus a shotgun is so dope to me

Remember loving it in Red Dead

I know they won't put more in most likely. But part of my favorite revolvers is being part of a paired set.

[ancient cave]

and it spent more time showing how it loaded than the dude being able to use it

[fallow topaz]

Ash and Ember. Ethyl and Jana. Jekyll and Hyde.

It's just fun.

[amber cosmos]

I like my Vetterli & lemat kit

[fallow topaz]

Honestly I know it's technically cheating. But using the shotgun barrel in a quick draw duel seems like easy money

[brisk ruin]

That to, it pairs well with rifles in general really if you don't have quater master.

[fallow topaz]

It took me a while, but the Upper mat has been growing on me too

[amber cosmos]

I don’t like running quartermaster tbh, so many other valuable perks

[uneven flax]

It's already 1PM and I want to play Hunt but im scared of losing. I lost like 15 times with zero wins last night lmao

guess im playing death stranding 2

[fallow topaz]

Fear is the mind killer.

[amber cosmos]

Sometimes it be like that

[uneven flax]

I feel like im gonna get pissed off again if i lose even once.

[amber cosmos]

My matches were 50/50 today

[fallow topaz]

Yeah man. Protect your peace. Don't play tilted.

[brisk ruin]

I mean I would love to run it but you know have to run traits for my team mates.

[uneven flax]

I'm starting to have a slightly toxic relationship with this game. I miss when I sucked so bad at the game I didn't care about losing

[fallow topaz]

I rarely play hunt when off season (no events) for a similar reason

[uneven flax]

Now that I'm better at the game im sweaty af and my enjoyment has gone down a bit

[fallow topaz]

You need some themed loadouts.

[amber cosmos]

Bruh, run what you want and don’t cater to noobs

Be the carry

[uneven flax]

That's true. God I love this game though 🙁

[fallow topaz]

The Pale Judge. Railroad Hammer.

For judgement falls with a heavy blow.

[uneven flax]

I want a pure single player experience of Hunt with the same guns

Crytek please

[fallow topaz]

Solo on a weekday it is /jk

[amber cosmos]

Hunt with a campaign would be dope

For lore shit

[fallow topaz]

I feel like the gunplay would transfer so well.

[uneven flax]

Queue on OCE actually. Problem is OCE's starting to get really populated rn, due to the inferno and shit 😂

[brisk ruin]

Respectfully disagree with you on that one I don't mind loseing or dying winning is secondry to me having fun and doing my best for my team mates is why I enjoy hunt, I would of quit otherwise.

[uneven flax]

You can definitely make an open world FPS-RPG out of Hunt.

I'm not sure if a linear game will work

[amber cosmos]

I agree with your statement but if I can’t have fun because I have to baby my teammates (cause they can’t pick up their slack) then I won’t have as much fun

[onyx yew]

Im talking in every game

[fallow topaz]

It was originally a third person single player game iirc

[onyx yew]

So

I just ran into a bear?

Ive never it before

[fallow topaz]

I've been running double pistols/ carbine versions. It's honestly not too bad (though I already mostly fight medium to short range)

[fallow topaz]

Sounds grizzly.

[amber cosmos]

Treat it like a meathead and blow it up, just stay quiet and keep some distance

[brisk ruin]

But yeah I also get where you coming from to, it can be frustrating doubly so when you try to teach and no one listens.

[fallow topaz]

Hope you have fun. Don't want it to be unbearable.

[onyx yew]

What is it tho

[fallow topaz]

Teaching is more than telling. Especially unsolicited or if agitated

[amber cosmos]

Yea I don’t mind teaching and helping others but when they don’t gaf or are clueless it pisses me off

[fallow topaz]

Bear

[amber cosmos]

It’s literally a bear

[onyx yew]

Its arms were weird tho

[amber cosmos]

It gives good xp tho

[fallow topaz]

I love Bear Brawler title with Mountain man card image.

And traits now iirc

[amber cosmos]

Nice

[fallow topaz]

It's weak spot is the tummy

Too much honey

[amber cosmos]

I like my expert marksman title, sounds better than expert sniper in my opinion

[brisk ruin]

True I normally ask first and then try to cater to the persons needs.

[fallow topaz]

That's because you lack the stones to brawl a bear /jk

[uneven flax]

I wish we can do two titles

one title not enough

[amber cosmos]

Nah one title is fine

[fallow topaz]

Liver Eater would be a fun one

[uneven flax]

Dung Eater

[fallow topaz]

Fan of British cuisine I see.

To each their own. You can hold that.

[brisk ruin]

Rude but fair to be honest.

[uneven flax]

Crazy how when you mention british cuisine i cant think of anything but fish and chips

[fallow topaz]

I think that's one of if not their best export.

[uneven flax]

i guess shepherd's pie is peak though

[fallow topaz]

I'll be honest, I respect the vinegar

[brisk ruin]

Our tea is pretty good but that comes down to if you like tea or not.

[uneven flax]

fried food and vinegar is staple in my country

[fallow topaz]

I mean it's tough because other places have better tea

[uneven flax]

so fish and chips with vinegar is not outlandish to us. But we don't eat chips with vinegar though

[fallow topaz]

Like the best British tea usually has a strong Chinese tea base iirc

[amber cosmos]

British cuisine can be great but most people look at the funny/oddball dishes and assume all dishes are like that

[uneven flax]

I absolutely never understood tea and biscuits.

[fallow topaz]

I think it's more the flavor profile is generally bland

Lots of good hearty food

[uneven flax]

I have never in my life dipped anything on anything with tea

[open flax]

sausage rolls and fish and chips

[brisk ruin]

I mean it's a running gag and meme, it's fun to let them think otherwise.

[onyx yew]

Why did post malone come to the game? Bro is a larper

[amber cosmos]

I have a degree in culinary arts and our british cuisine section was great tbh when I was in school

[uneven flax]

Hunt is his favorite game. Having a big pop star being so vocal about your game is a huge marketing W

[amber cosmos]

Funny enough, twice

[onyx yew]

I highly doubt that

[fallow topaz]

Plus it's funny

[amber cosmos]

Post actually really likes the game tbh

[fallow topaz]

Just get big so we can complain about Blazing getting a skin

[steep orchid]

Post malone should hop on hunt

[uneven flax]

Post even had a stream with xqc and shroud

[steep orchid]

[fallow topaz]

Him getting blasted to death and yelling "fuck this game, man I love this game" is an all timer for me

[brisk ruin]

Man im on that grind to get ranger mastery 10 im at 8 now so close, it's been hard going from mostly shotgun to mostly rifle but it's been worth it.

[fallow topaz]

After he takes a rip off his blunt and drinking bear

[uneven flax]

god i want this attitude

most of the time i go to sleep pissed off

[fallow topaz]

Honestly I think... Well I get what you mean.

[uneven flax]

why cant i just win all the time? is that so much to ask? i have been a good boy, Lord.

[fallow topaz]

The only way to fix it, is to shift your attitude towards the game

[uneven flax]

i have been a sinless person, let me win in my favorite game

[fallow topaz]

Separate your performance in the game from your sense of self worth

[brisk ruin]

The lows in life define the highs in your life, you have to lose to apprciate when you win, helps to ease the pain knowing that.

[uneven flax]

when i win my teammates carry me. when i lose i sink 3-6 kills and die

there's never a middle ground

so i dont even have fun when i win

😭

[fallow topaz]

Set small goals for yourself.

Not related to winning but playing better.

Wins come more naturally as you focus on refining your gameplay

And winning isn't defining your achievements

[dusty gorge]

this is common trios complaint for me, solo games are just more interesting

[uneven flax]

well id still take the win hunt dollar go up is happy time

[brisk ruin]

Another thing I would say is play to have fun, enjoy yourself and do what you enjoy, trying to force yourself to be good will resualt in burnout and you will play worse and feel worse for it.

[uneven flax]

I'm trying my best to rewire my brain and enjoy the moment to moment gameplay and not hyperfocusing on the wins.

[fallow topaz]

What's your favorite western character/ themed person?

[uneven flax]

It's just so hard to rewire like that in extraction shooters because the point is going home with the bacon

instead of playing games like Siege or Overwatch where losing does not take that much toll on you

[dreamy cave]

Winning is all that matters winning is fun. Shift W, blame your tm8s and never admit you're wrong.

[uneven flax]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-baby-shout-yell-cheer-gif-17061687

[steep orchid]

Greyhound trait peak

[brisk ruin]

The thing about hunt is that you can always bounce back though, defeat is not permanent. Hunt give and take.

[dreamy cave]

"Maybe you shouldn't have been near that dynamite I threw near you on accident"

[uneven flax]

Nor is winning or losing all that important. I also have 500 thousand dollars. I can lose a thousand times and not be broke

But it's still psychologically difficult lmao

[icy bay]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-indiana-jones-hero-teeth-gif-25640342

[uneven flax]

maybe it's the poverty speaking from me. i am such a hoarder in games. i never not finish single player games without being chockful of shit on my inventory

[fallow topaz]

Easy he used a pax and a 73 (you can choose ranger or compact)

[uneven flax]

Even RE4. I finished RE4 last year and I ended the game STACKEDDD

[fallow topaz]

From there it's tools and consumables

[fallow topaz]

Indy Indy Indy xD

[brisk ruin]

Just out of curiosity what do you normally bring into a match? most of the cost goes into tools/consumables depending on what you bring.

[uneven flax]

Indiana Jones Golden Circle is such a peak adventurer game. I just wish I enjoyed puzzles more than I do

Because golden circle wasn't a full on action game like the Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider

[uneven flax]

i dont bring meta unless it's contraband.

I do bring a good variety of loadouts

except meta

[hazy crest]

https://tenor.com/view/clint-eastwood-sus-gif-10978932908651626661

i dont buy slates, berths, mosins, krags, crowns

[onyx yew]

AT LEAST WITH OTHER GAMES YOU CAN FUCKING DISSCUSS WITH PEOPLE

Nah this game everyone is a greedy fucking bitch

what are you talking about

[icy bay]

Or this one

[upper summit]

Doc Holiday

[onyx yew]

Every single extraction shooter you can discuss with the enemies but in this game everyone is toxic and greedy af

[upper summit]

Depends on server location and star rating

[brisk ruin]

do you mean in game or do you mean in this chat if you don't mind clarifying.

[onyx yew]

In game

[uneven flax]

PvP is toxic and greedy? Get that arc raiders shit out of here brah...

[mild quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/put-your-head-in-the-game-hayden-sistas-stay-focused-chris-warren-gif-1558344012509193861

I'm a 3 star in NA and I do silly goofy stuff with the enemy all the time lol

[onyx yew]

This is the only extraction game that dosent allow you to talk with the person

[onyx yew]

Idk how to check that

[uneven flax]

It does. There's ALL prox chat

[tacit mango]

hi

[upper summit]

Uh, there's text chat and VOIP..?

[icy bay]

Winny ,bat, throwing axe , medkit small vitshot , fire, and waxed dynamite

[onyx yew]

EXCEPT AINT NO ONE USE THAT

[uneven flax]

but the difference is Hunt is more of a battle royale than an extraction shooter.

[royal cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-showdown-hunt-hunt-showdown-1896-grayhound-greyhound-gif-5579076969253410158

[brisk ruin]

got all your bases covered then nice, only thing I would say is bring a regen shot.

[tacit mango]

they do

[upper summit]

Usually if you initiate, people will VOIP back

[mild quiver]

God forbid a team wants to play to win instead of yap with the enemy

[onyx yew]

No they do not

[hazy crest]

Can’t anyone update the trait cost on these gifs

[ancient cave]

I get prox chat quite often

[tacit mango]

mhhm

[onyx yew]

Idm that but when its everyone being a toxic little bitch it gets annoying

[uneven flax]

yeah. there are rare instances where players can make a truce.

Happened to me. The entire lobby became friendly when someone found a golden cash register. We looted the blood bonds and went our separate ways.

[upper summit]

You must be a higher star

[onyx yew]

How do I view that

[mild quiver]

I think interactions with other players can be funny, but nobody is under any obligation to speak in all chat during a match and its silly to expect anything from opponets

[pallid yew]

Got to get 4 level 50s for one story 😭. I only get like one or two per prestige usually

[tacit mango]

there’s been a few teams i’ve been able to talk my way out of a shootout with

[upper summit]

It's literally in your stats tab???

[onyx yew]

No body ever talks in my lobbys

[onyx yew]

I never check that lmao

[upper summit]

Brother 💀

[uneven flax]

If you in asia servers no one uses prox chat there because they're all speaking different languages, mostly chinese

[tacit mango]

[mild quiver]

are you sure you have all chat enabled? If I speak in all chat its about 50/50 if I get a reply or not

[icy bay]

Na with the change of 100% drop of traits from meat had and co i easy to get docktor and frontiersman

[upper summit]

How do you not know your star rating

It's like, a major aspect of the game 💀

[brisk ruin]

Fair I only bring one for when fights go on longer otherwise I don't need it either.

[uneven flax]

My guess is they came from arc raiders and just started the game.

It's my first time seeing someone complain that enemies in Hunt aren't friendly.

[upper summit]

Ah.
Makes sense

[dusty gorge]

hunt showdown is not friendly but its not toxic as arc raiders

[mild quiver]

I dont want my enemies to be friendly, I want enemies that want to shoot me and are doing everything they can to win

[dusty gorge]

watching arc streams is rough

[plain cypress]

what is this?!

YO

[uneven flax]

yeah in arc if you killed someone they call you n words or a little beatch or all the colorful derogatives

[plain cypress]

needs to be fixed

[uneven flax]

in hunt if you die its just HUNT

[fallow topaz]

I need a good mic to sing to people after I dust them

[tidal haven]

a reminder to sit up straight

[royal cloak]

That is Lewis.

[plain cypress]

never

[brisk ruin]

I would say it has a fairly high barrier to entry at this point a lot of people get turned off from it. It's a shame to because it's a great game really.

[fallow topaz]

The AI asset thing I heard about did raise an eyebrow

[upper summit]

I play it very casually 🤷‍♂️

[mild quiver]

Anything short of playing against capable and aggressive opponets is boring

[upper summit]

?

[uneven flax]

mistakes are just very badly punished in this game. it's definitely brutal.

It's so annoying hearing one gunshot and now youre back in the lobby

[mild quiver]

Would literally uninstall this game if my opponents were more interested in being "friendly" over pvp

[short halo]

Not really. People just use it as something to hang their complaints about losing on
Pre star rating they'd complain about up or dbl up arrows

[upper summit]

Yeah at that point go play 2Fort lol

[uneven flax]

people are friendly in Arc Raiders because Arc Raiders PvP is booty cheeks.

[fallow topaz]

It's small but they do Text to Speech AI for voices and stuff

[upper summit]

Where...?

[uneven flax]

they removed that

It's all human voiced now

coz they got money

[devout otter]

finally got to empty the guns of a camper and watch him squirm after necro 🎉

[brisk ruin]

That's fair I don't play to win now anymore either just for fun, I do think it's very hard for somone new to get into though.

[upper summit]

Very fair point

[uneven flax]

and got too big they didnt want to be associated too much with ai voices

[fallow topaz]

The fact they did it at all is some side eye business

But I understand my biases

[uneven flax]

if you played arc a lot and realised some voices changed, like the elevator announcer, it's because it turned from AI voice to real voice

[dusty gorge]

i can't pretend to be mad at AI voice actors after hearing Ada from re4 remake

[fallow topaz]

The fact they trained ai off the actors they hired is rough

[uneven flax]

company want save money coz they want make money

it's just business for you.

[dusty gorge]

i guess its cool if they are a placeholder until real actors are brought in

[uneven flax]

actors consented to it

[fallow topaz]

Ethics, business and art is one of those things

[upper summit]

OH YOU MEAN IN ARC RAIDERS

I thought you meant in Hunt and I was VERY confused

[mild quiver]

Are we out here hating on the clankers? Your opinion could be noted by them and stored for reference once they take over the world

[fallow topaz]

And some workers fought against forming unions.

Again. I know I'm biased and it's just a me thing.

I'm not a fan

That's the long and short of it.

[upper summit]

Well you just called them clankers so 💀

They coming after you too 💀

What have I done

[fallow topaz]

If you don't abuse machines they won't turn on ya. XD

[brisk ruin]

Truthfully I worry more what a person with ill intent would do with an ai then the ais themselfs.

[devout otter]

chariot, magican, 2 cqc weapons, in a bush, triple trapped tower, extract camping

dude hit literally every mark lmao

[mild quiver]

heard, about to start saluting every machine

[fallow topaz]

Other way. Take real actors for one session and then not need to pay them as they add lines using their voice.

[upper summit]

Ai is a tool, just like anything.

If you abuse it, it's the fault of the person who used it for wrong, not the machine

[fallow topaz]

But yeah. I don't think using machines for art is the best angle

[devout otter]

it's a shit tool

[fallow topaz]

Should be doing my taxes not someone's job in a creative endeavor

[uneven flax]

It sucks that AI is replacing some jobs. And even in my industy (software engineering) companies hire less juniors as a result.

AIs pretty much work better than juniors now lol

[fallow topaz]

It doesn't help it will just hallucinate and ends up needing people to fix the issues anyway

[upper summit]

Ai is actively being used to find patterns to help cure cancer.

generative ai and LLM's are a pile of shit

[uneven flax]

Yeah creative jobs are definitely one of the most controversial things AI is doing

[mild quiver]

At the end of the day ai being used for artistic purposes can be profitable so people will use it to make profit. Its a tale as old as time, unethical practice is practiced for profit

[uneven flax]

LLM's are a pile of shit
No it's not. I write code and AIs has helped me a bajillion times.

[devout otter]

pattern recognition tools have been around for far longer and aren't remotely the same thing

nobody means them when we say "ai"

[fallow topaz]

The big thing to ask is even with that thought terminating cliché in the air. What are your stances if asked about it?

[plain cypress]

i can tell you as experienced programmer, it does nothing for me

[devout otter]

if by help you mean "do the job faster and worse" then sure

[onyx yew]

Its the black one right

MORE FUCKING LOSER

[mild quiver]

I have no idea what you mean by this

[uneven flax]

programmers not using AI to assist in coding are either lying through their teeth or not doing their jobs fast enough.

[plain cypress]

lmao

[onyx yew]

Blue or black voice chat

[plain cypress]

you are troll, potato salad?

[uneven flax]

How many years you have and what are you working on?

[fallow topaz]

Might just be a tech bro

[upper summit]

L rage bait

[mild quiver]

team chat appears blue and I believe enemy prox chat appears red, I could be mistaken

[plain cypress]

i have 8 years and i do work on low level stuff, firmwares and such

generative ai is useless

[onyx yew]

Then yea ive never heard anyone talk in enemy chat

[plain cypress]

and is wrong almost all the time

[uneven flax]

I have nearly 10 years. And I don't work in low level stuff. AI is not as good on that as anything close to web-based software development.

[mild quiver]

you most likely do not have it enabled

[uneven flax]

AI is extremely good at modern web development.

[lofty sinew]

wether or not an LLM is going to help you generate useful code that doesn't create more work than it actually does it going to depend on a whole bunch of specifics nobody in this chat is going to be interested in covering

[onyx yew]

Where the fuck do you see your stupid star system

[uneven flax]

hell it even helps me on infra shit like terraform

[upper summit]

Just in case you're serious, this is like saying you're a writer for a living, and not getting AI to edit your articles for you makes you a poor writer

[onyx yew]

I talk to my teamate all the time

[normal kayak]

team chat is blue, teammate voiping is blue and black, and enemies are red

[mild quiver]

When a match ends go to team details

[onyx yew]

Yall said it was in statistics

[uneven flax]

My friend writing is a creative job. Programming is different

[upper summit]

Brother what

[onyx yew]

How do u get Jesse buchanan

[uneven flax]

How many years you have writing code before you actually try to ragebait me? Are you saying the hundreds of people I worked with across 3-5 companies are stupid for using AI?

[upper summit]

Prestige

[onyx yew]

Prestige my account or a character? Cause if its a character its never happening

[mild quiver]

for prox chat go into game settings and make sure "incoming voice chat" settings are enabled to "all" to be able to hear enemy hunters

[brisk ruin]

as pruple said end of match, it used to be visible in the menu before 1896.

stars that is

[uneven flax]

The entire software engineering industry use AI. Anyone not using is are LYING or working slower than the rest of the industry. The only exceptions are cases where AI is not trained nicely on it yet. Like low level stuff as @plain cypress is part of. Or making shit from scratch with niche technology.

[mild quiver]

You can assign a seperate key bind for speaking in all chat and speaking in team chat

[normal kayak]

first you need to hit p3 and then you can his t2 and t3 by getting him to level 50

[fallow topaz]

Makes sense. Corpos really want to kick the people they see below them down as fast as possible/jk

[proven pike]

Is prestiging worth it in this game

[plain cypress]

blocked lmao

[uneven flax]

Yes. But also it helps actual people work faster. But yes it also reduces costs, like I said fewer and fewer companies hire fewer and fewer juniors as a result. Which sucks.

[uneven flax]

Good riddance.

[onyx yew]

I have my stuff on toggle and all and yet I still dont hear people

[fallow topaz]

I do it for free skins

[onyx yew]

So never gonna happen got it 👍

[upper summit]

Nice strawman

I'm not saying you or anyone you work with is stupid.

I'm just saying that coding is 100% a creative activity lol

Writing code is essentially writing in another language.

Actually no, Syntax IS another language.

The way you tackle problems via coding is absolutely a creative endeavor.

The way 2 people solve the same problem may be TOTALLY different.

It's up to your CREATIVITY to solve the puzzle.

[mild quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/you-what-wtf-disgusted-repulsed-reaction-gif-7093476740609088242

[onyx yew]

This is what mine looks like

[onyx yew]

Prestieging a character is almost impossible

[plain cypress]

generative ai shills are so icky

cant listen to it

[full mesa]

AI bullshit? That crap is great for managing additional workflows you trained a model on. Does wonders for accessing info, locally, or manage multiple teams, sending out quick docs with low effort. Anything else and it's garbage. It ain't that special.

[uneven flax]

AI should not be used in programming as a creative solution.

My point is AI is good at things that aren't creative. A lot of programming isn't creative. Say. How many ways you can add 1+1 in programming? There's a very few EXACT ways to do it. AI is good at generating those microsolutions without making everything shit and hallucinated.

[mild quiver]

Prestiging and leveling a character are two separate things

[upper summit]

No offense, but as a high- level programmer, shouldn't that be the easy stuff anyway...?

[uneven flax]

Yeah and now you do it thirty times a day. Do you understand how much time AI saves as a result? This is what it is good at. And this is how most of the industry should use AI. Not the generative, creative bullshit everyone hates.

[onyx yew]

Im able to level a character then they die next round

[mild quiver]

Prestiging means hitting bloodline 100 and then going to the next prestige. Leveling a hunter is a completely separate interaction

[normal kayak]

yeah but you have to do both of those to get jesse t3

first you have to hit prestige 3, and then get him to level 50 twice

[uneven flax]

I hate AI in many ways as much as the next guy. But it has OBJECTIVELY GOOD uses, and AI is forever here to stay whether you like it or not.

[onyx yew]

Leveling a hunter is hard then

[mild quiver]

This is natural as you play more and learn the game you learn to die less and win more. Nobody keeps their hunter forever they are intended to eventually die

[onyx yew]

Yes but it would be nice to level them

[upper summit]

I apologize.

I see your point, though I'm still against AI being used this way.

I'm going to leave this where it lies, since this conversation is moving away from the intended use of this server.

Both you broski lads ain't wrong, it can cut down the menial, boring, lame tasks. You streamline your workflow fast enough to get to the juicy bits. You still need to comb through code, there ain't no Vibe Coding, it's mostly hallunications, unless you use it for basic, menial, lame tasks.

[mild quiver]

yeah I missed the part about unlocking certain cosmetics, I thought he just didnt understand the difference between the two ideas my fault

[uneven flax]

I hate it as much as everyone here. There's a lot of things where it's going off the handle. But it has truly, really useful functions that people like me really appreciate.

Sometimes you'd spend 2-4 hours finding a stupid problem that an AI can find within 2 minutes.

Sadly outside software engineering and some other niche industries AI is more negative than positive. SWE is one of the very few exceptions where it helps.

[full mesa]

Fair take

[uneven flax]

It even helps you mentally. Let's say you assign this task 3 hours. But the AI helped you and now you spent only 10 mins on that task. So now it even helps you mentally. Give you a break and play HUNTTTTT

so you can get frustrated on a different thing

[full mesa]

I've trained my own models, locally, based off my own data. It's fun, can be useful, takes time away from doing shit nobody wants to actually do. You still need to do most of the work. We ain't living in SkyNet, or Blade Runner. The AI we use is incredibly boring, unless you work in sectors which benefit off medical data.

[onyx yew]

This game is fun but is also not

I love all the pistols being useless

[brisk ruin]

Just out of curiosity how much time do you have in the game?

[onyx yew]

Idk

Is the bornheim good?

[uneven flax]

or in Hunt's case with Anybrain - instead of having people watch gameplay videos 24/7 you use AI to read their gameplay and make reports whether they may be cheating or not.

That is incredibly helpful. If Crytek hires 30000 people to monitor 30000 players we won't have hunt anymore.

[normal kayak]

bornheim match yes, the other ones kinda suck unless youre using them for a gimmick

if you want a spam pistol just run a double action like officer or new army

[onyx yew]

Thats the one with a stock?

[normal kayak]

yeah

the 2 slot

[fallow topaz]

Skill issue.

[brisk ruin]

Can be depends on your playstyle though, I dislike it just because low damage and I like to focus making my shots count, and as forge said match is your best option other than new army officer.

[normal kayak]

what are you actually using your pistols for thats making you call them useless?

[fallow topaz]

I huff the smoke out of my pistols after every won battle.

I coat my lungs in the residue of glory.

[onyx yew]

Should I dual wield?

[full mesa]

Seeing as there is no end to that fight, it's a constant battle, regardless. Having to do manual checks, or rely on player reports is far too long. Any edge in the never-ending race of cheat software is better than lagging behind, and risk having your game die.

[normal kayak]

the only pistol i would bother dual wielding unironically is conversion

[onyx yew]

Just everytime I use a pistol its so useless

[normal kayak]

its the only one that will actually be somewhat accurate to a decent range

[fallow topaz]

To learn you have to do pistol only loadouts

[brisk ruin]

Honestly go to the shooting range give it a go, you have live targets now to try anything you like on and dummys to.

[uneven flax]

and the AI can collect hundreds of matches from a single player to understand their behavior. This is literally impossible with humans. There is no company in this world with all the money in this world who can hire enough people to monitor hundreds of thousands upon thousands of matches to make informed anti cheat decisions

[fallow topaz]

Also personal preference medium ammo revolvers

[onyx yew]

Chain pistol or not

[normal kayak]

base

pretty sure chain pistol is less accurate

[fallow topaz]

Based

[fallow topaz]

I think more ammo means people rush shots

[normal kayak]

i understand that but like what situation are you pulling your pistol out in

[brisk ruin]

This chain is more for using without fanning.

[fallow topaz]

Hunt like most wild West shooters favors slower focused shooting

[normal kayak]

because there are situations where yes your pistol will just be worse

[onyx yew]

When I gotta reload my shotgun, I only use shotguns tbh

[fallow topaz]

It's that 1/10 of a second to focus your shot hits.

[full mesa]

It's a promising theory to explore. Any active resolution to preventing cheats is a win, regardless of it being AI tools trained on game data, or not. Not even that Valorant A/C is foolproof.

[fallow topaz]

You're a LeMat man

Calling it now. Gives you more shotgun ammo

[uneven flax]

i think that's what anybrain does based on their website. so it's not even a theory

[normal kayak]

in a shotgun loadout your pistol should just be a decent ranged single action tbh, try to space yourself better so that you can actually reload your shotgun instead of whipping out a pistol in close quarters

especially when youre fighting like a full team

[upper summit]

Actually super fair takes

[lofty sinew]

lemat kinda goated

[normal kayak]

100%

10m one tap

[fallow topaz]

Good skins too

[uneven flax]

Glad you came to an understanding. Sadly I know most people aren't aware of this kind of use for AI. What's mostly visible are the downright hate-able things AI is doing. So I understand why people hate it.

[normal kayak]

lemat is so useful in a rifle loadout cause people seem to think they can just do whatever they want and push you like an idiot

so you just blow the upper half of their body off

[lofty sinew]

the AI industry is moving and changing so quickly lately chances are good any kind of hot take is potentially not relevant or not entirely right anymore.

[brisk ruin]

A good friend for all rifles, I pair with with ranger/vet a lot.

[uneven flax]

thats what EAC is doing i think. EAC is kernel level now right?

[normal kayak]

why is my teammate running dualies with a drilling dumdum

dude has the cqc rifle

[uneven flax]

that's why Crytek has both EAC and Anybrain

[normal kayak]

and decides he needs dualies too

he doesnt even have fmj

dumdum dualies man

[lofty sinew]

why would anyone have a problem with anybrain input detection out of curiosity

[uneven flax]

ia bad

[lofty sinew]

it's not gonna get the knowers, but it will still help

[uneven flax]

also there's a regular here who hates anybrain because it doesnt detect cheating software. Friend that's EAC's job

[lofty sinew]

right, it's a whole extra layer of cheat detection. aka not a bad thing.

[uneven flax]

he's like "Why is Crytek doing this? Anybrain doesn't detect DMA cheats"

[full mesa]

You have to manually remove it if you delete Hunt, yes. You can EASILY bypass EAC or BattlEye, or anything which nmeeds kernel by loading software UNDER the Anti-Cheat, under your OS and Microsoft views it as legit software you registered.

[uneven flax]

friend it fixes a different thing

[normal kayak]

should be

no kernel anti cheat is just like

lowk throwing

[fallow topaz]

Love me the bleed

[normal kayak]

he doesnt need that much man

[lofty sinew]

sure. anything that gives crytek more tools to detect and ban cheaters is good. lack of understanding of any given aspect of it aside

[onyx yew]

Im so tired of every single weapon I use being useless and whenever I try the enemys weapon who killed me it sucks for me

[fallow topaz]

What if it's a 15 player lobby /jk

[fallow topaz]

Something something blames the tools

You're new man. You have your niche you like right now. Focus on learning the game now

[lofty sinew]

are you new? this sounds like "i'm tired baws" talk from someone who hasn't yet donated enough bodies to the bayou

because the reality is once your brain learns the game well enough, all the guns will work more or less fine if you didn't make any catastrophic mistakes yourself

[fallow topaz]

Id checkout Rexor, Psycho Ghost, RachaZ tips for new players. It can take away the guesswork

It won't make you good. But it will make you aware of things you can learn

[ancient cave]

everything in this game is viable so theres no magic working weapon, gotta act like the enemy rather than just test their equipment

[lofty sinew]

a lot of it is just time in game though. giving yourself time to let your brain get used to hunt visuals and being able to see enemy hunters, know where to look, what to expect etc

[full mesa]

And I'm pretty sure Marathon has a degree higher of a cheating epidemic than Hunt, and Hunt is on Linux. What does BUNGIE often say about Linux? That it breeds cheat software? Mmmmmhmmmmmmmmm.

[lofty sinew]

any competitive shooter has cheaters. the more popular and more competitive it is, the more it has.

[fallow topaz]

Or it's tarkov

[full mesa]

The WIGGLE

[lofty sinew]

well, tarkov is it's own special case

[brisk ruin]

To be fair any mp game has cheaters but yes more competitive the more cheaters, even more so if comp has any rewards to it.

[lofty sinew]

andd if you have enough money, there is no game you can't cheat in. even at the highest levels.

[onyx yew]

I got like 10h in the game yet im dealing with people who are above prestige rank 50

[fallow topaz]

Yeah they're as bad at the game as you are

Statistically

[lofty sinew]

yeah common complaint. that 50 prestige can still be bad at the game. but fair to say they should be better than you, the new player. problems of small playerbases, and MMR being based on team MMR and not individual I guess

[full mesa]

It's amusing to see arguements made against Linux, when it comes to cheat software, and viability of doing such things on Windows, but it does not seem to matter, does it? Only difference here being I can play Hunt on Linux, and have a better Frame-Time (Based Crytek) and Marathon is full of hacks.

[lofty sinew]

all these kinda of decisions are made by bean counters, not engineers or coders

[brisk ruin]

Pretty much this is why I say hunt is harder to get into these days for newer players, because most people now have a lot of time in the game the barrier for entry is higher.

[full mesa]

Bean counters, I like that xD

[onyx yew]

The game is just annoying sm cause I barley get to have fun on it

[lofty sinew]

can we have denuvo on linux? no. no linux. thats further than that line of thinking goes for most major developers

[fallow topaz]

Side note how important is being able to switch to your secondary for a follow up shot? Like shoot rifle hit, switch to secondary follow up

[fallow topaz]

Learn to love the setting. Explore and listen on the firing range. Practice the guns. Party with a sword

[lofty sinew]

yeah. it takes accepting a lot of pain and loss to get to the point of being decent at the game. requires something of a zen philosophical approach. and many people bounce off the game as a result

[fallow topaz]

Yee your haw.

[full mesa]

Denuvo ain't got much of a leg to stand on, as it is. iykyk.

[brisk ruin]

Depends on the gun, if im using a henry close range with no trait then yes swaping to my secondry is the best option I would say and quite important.

[lofty sinew]

I'm fully aware but that doesn't stop big devs choosing to use it does it

[fallow topaz]

I see it a bit with the sparks.

[onyx yew]

I love the style of the game and some of the gunplay but my god this community is making it sm worse to get into

[fallow topaz]

I'm not fast enough for the beetles.

[lofty sinew]

quick swapping is still kind of a thing, just depends on your setup. sometimes that followup shot will come quicker just firing your primary twice

[lofty sinew]

are you just playing with randos?

[brisk ruin]

sparks is great for lowering the hp to almost nil which leaves them open to death by any gun, I see a lot of shotgun + sparks combo for that reason.

[fallow topaz]

This is also the community. Just because people in the games won't roll over for you, that's kinda part of the vibe

[full mesa]

And I doubt it'll go away, either, regardless. Assuming it even does? Some other garbage heap will take it's place

[onyx yew]

That or solo

[fallow topaz]

I played teams until I had the basics down.

Learning by watching random teammates can help jump your game knowledge

Even if it's "yeah don't do that"

[normal kayak]

my teammate has ironeye but no necro
hes using a drilling

[lofty sinew]

right, so two different versions of pain. some people will reccomend playing solo as a newbie. I wouldn't. It's hard mode. At least with randos your teamies will be canaries in the mines for you sometimes. i would consider trying to look for people to play with here in the LFG channels? i think on average much nicer / bettter than fully random team mates

[fallow topaz]

Oh he's a driller

[normal kayak]

ie and salveskin but no necro

in what universe

[onyx yew]

Usually lfg results in playing with them once and then you never talk to em again

[lofty sinew]

he playin that 5d chess

[normal kayak]

im gonna end him bro

[full mesa]

The only true way to play Hunt is to load in with a railroad hammer, and a derringer. That's the only way to guaranteed success.

[lofty sinew]

sure that'll happen a fair bit. just higher chance of playing with people you might gel with i suppose

plus if you specify it, sometimes more experienced players who are fine with explaining aspects of the game to new players / actually helping will jump in

those people do exist here I am told

[onyx yew]

Ik the basics of the game its more idk what weapons are good

[brisk ruin]

I like to help others to learn.

[lofty sinew]

there are a lot of nuances it takes a lot of time to absorb. all the weapons are "good" if used appropriately. it's the when and how part that is harder

[brisk ruin]

Anything can work, even a nagant pistol can kill you from good 60 meters headshot, yes there are some guns better in certin situations but it's mostly user ability that matters.

[lofty sinew]

and even when you get "decent" at the game you will still have sessions where you barely extract at all, or just don't

sometimes it is just not your turn to do much surviving

[brisk ruin]

That said I often go with a rule of, mid range weapon and 1 close range for when fighting gets dirty, like you would not pair a springfield shorty with a sparks, unless your doing it for fun/memeing.

[lofty sinew]

to begin with you will likely make a lot of tactical mistakes and just end up in situations where even if you don't get 1 tapped, you essentially engaged in a fight you were never going to win anyway.

good luck on that front, i still struggle with making tactically stupid decisions 😛

[brisk ruin]

I get that, honestly I go by feel most of the time and that works for me.

[lofty sinew]

i gett impatient / bored quickly. that forces my poor tactical decision hand a lot

[hazy crest]

man blatant derankers on rampage today

[lofty sinew]

because a lot of hunt play is essentially a patience game waiting for one side to get bored enough to make a mistake

[normal kayak]

russian teammates communicating absolutely nothing except "piece of shit with shotgun inside here"

dude needs to be pissed off at someones loadout to give comms ig

[brisk ruin]

or finding a way to force them to move.

[onyx yew]

Yall lied about the star bs brw

Btw

[normal kayak]

what

[brisk ruin]

no offence but how did we lie?

[onyx yew]

Im in the end menu i cant see my star

[brisk ruin]

Yall said at the end of the game you can see your star

[normal kayak]

view last match
