[late walrus]

this guy just sat in bushes shooting at me while i was peeking bounty team in clash

and then bounty starts running and i cant really chase them well because hes in my way

and he still wants to kill me so bounty team just leaves

and then he shit talks me and STILL refuses to leave his bush

i dont get it

[pallid patrol]

average bounty clash match

nobody actually fights

[remote moss]

imagine if hunt added a suppression mechanic

itd be horrid

[heady heart]

the hell is this thing

[remote moss]

its the new adorable miniboss

[lyric berry]

Forest puppy

[remote moss]

basically its only easy to kill if you use the meta tools on it like pennyshot derringer, or any throwing tool

if you shoot it, youre fucked

its honestly just a stupid as fuck interaction cause it enforces meta

[lyric berry]

Just stab it bro

[remote moss]

people say its too easy cause they use meta on it, so its buffed, so now youre kinda screwed cause its an annoying time consuming boss without them

[heady heart]

i was running round with a nitro and a hand crossbow no meta

soooo nah im good

[remote moss]

nitro could kill it

assert your dominance

[lyric berry]

Hand crossbow too but it'll take some time.

[heady heart]

nah i only had those 6 shots and i was on my way to 3rd party

literally players were in that background building

[remote moss]

oh fun

hope you wiped them

[heady heart]

killed 2 got third partied

[remote moss]

shouldve third partied later

[heady heart]

4th party?

[lyric berry]

I tbag meta users y'all dogwater butter butter butter bunny cheeks

[neon glacier]

sorry it was m

[remote moss]

how you tbag someone without knowing they have meta, you cant see their tools

😭

[heady heart]

what guns are meta?

[neon glacier]

me

[neon glacier]

every gun

[heady heart]

wait what does he mean meta then?

[remote moss]

dolch precision, mosin nagant, officer carbine, nitro.

[lyric berry]

Anything not a bow

[heady heart]

bows fun

[neon glacier]

the bow is meta

[remote moss]

bow is meta, yea

[heavy finch]

Mosin, Officer Carbine, all the shotguns, dolches. Sniper ratting is a sort of meta.

[heady heart]

id agree honestly

[lyric berry]

No gunpowder tho.

[remote moss]

its basically a free one tap without having to care about distance when youre in compounds

stupid as fuck weapon to fight

[lyric berry]

Gotta hit the gym

[remote moss]

insanely fun though cause its easy and strong

[heady heart]

i like sniper ratting if i know someones in a building 🙁

[lyric berry]

Yo which map is this

[heady heart]

ooo imma hit the lfg

[heavy finch]

i mean if they are in a building and refuse to come out. They are most likely shotgun ratting. And you cannot feel sorry for them if they get sniper ratted in turn.

[heady heart]

ohh dlc map, peaches castle

[heady heart]

im usually not successful

im not very good at the game

[lyric berry]

Craziest compound tbh

[heavy finch]

sniper ratting isnt about winning. they only do it to get higher K/D. Because they think its a flex to have.

[heady heart]

XD i mean i lose the fight most days

[lyric berry]

This is all you mfs that use 'guns'

[heady heart]

🙁

[heavy finch]

you cant loose fights if you do it right. all you gotta do it take shots at people. then run away when they realize your position. make sure to have stam for the entire game.

there is a reason we hate snipers

its their playstyle. not the weapon

[heady heart]

ok id prefer not to be hated

ill stand my ground and win the fight the right way thanks XD

[heady heart]

where the lfg for US west btw? cant find it

[heavy finch]

dont want to be hated? run uppercut. no one hates an uppercut player. (its kinda trash tho)

[heady heart]

i usually run schofield but ill try uppercut

[lyric berry]

Uppercut is peak hunter weapon

[grave rose]

https://tenor.com/view/atlantis-vinny-very-nice-gif-15036872806826085501

[neon glacier]

yea the lantern exploded

[short halo]

Well, yes, but they also explode when touching fire

[heady heart]

ohhh didnt know that

[late walrus]

they explode if they hit fire, they explode if you shoot them

pretty sure if you throw one at a red barrel it will blow them both up instantly

[short halo]

They dont explode if you use Dauntless on them and the enemy will usually be confused the first time

[late walrus]

balright

vpn is on neptune

[heady heart]

XD

[left orbit]

you can do that with a regular winnie

i pissed an trio en entire game like that

when they finally got me they unloaded all their weapons on my cadaver

(bounty was about to exfil)

[lyric berry]

Reasonable crashout tbh

[heavy finch]

yea but will you land 200+m shots with that.

[left orbit]

if you compensate 6m above head, of course

(my longest shot is like 140m, i' terrible even with a scope )

[heavy finch]

i did these tests. event with a nagant pistol you are fine just aiming half the body height over at 200m

[left orbit]

oh yes xD i've been doing the same

[lyric berry]

https://tenor.com/view/ronnie-kray-wankers-legend-tom-hardy-wanker-gif-11676398

[left orbit]

i doubt that because i got a headshot with a LOT MORE for that distance with the winnie

ima try shooting range again

but to me thats maxicaps

[heavy finch]

i posted the pictures in here when i tested it. idk if you ran subsonic.

[left orbit]

poison

[heavy finch]

#hunt-general message

that is the frame by frame aim i did

its probably a full body height over it now that i look at it

[dry hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/spinning-cat-gif-12472613930409257329

[neon glacier]

so i just fought a solo with poison bow and rival

[left orbit]

wait where is the target?

[heavy finch]

on top of the bridge roof. there is a stationary target there

[left orbit]

ok
yeah that look more like a full body

need to get out of the bed after no sleep night

boot work computer

and boot shooting range

10 minutes

[open flax]

wow found the nono ppl in us west lol

[remote moss]

Hm? They're hiding on West servers?

Thanks for the heads up

[open flax]

guess they decided to switch for a change

[left orbit]

who's the nono peeps?

[hollow crescent]

chinese gigasweats

2+ KDs, all of them, allegedly also cheating but I haven't seen proper evidence of that from the times I've played against them

[left orbit]

ah

that's when i'm so happy to get slapped by noobs in solo and playing like a grandpa

[late walrus]

2kd
allegedly cheating

[hollow crescent]

I mean they're what you'd expect from the gigasweat

mosin spitzer out the ass, level 10 mosin badge, spamming walls and murdering everyone, ect

but they also ran straight into a building with avtos and got mogged by shotguns so like

hence why I said I haven't seen anything real sus from them

[left orbit]

one could wallhack and still get clapped with avtos

[late walrus]

i just think its funny that 2kds get accused of cheating

[left orbit]

not saying they cheat though

[late walrus]

feel like any decent player with cheats will be 3kd

i mean stats usually arent a great way to tell but if theyve been around long enough

[hollow crescent]

iirc I glanced at one of their profile cards and mf had like, 4000 kills on the same hunter and 6000+ mosin kills

[late walrus]

zamn

[hollow crescent]

so they've been around for a while

[late walrus]

so yeah probably not cheating

im still mad that steam comments are like closed by default

i couldve had so many by now if people were able to comment on my acc

need more ping abuser comments

[uneven flax]

Why would I open my steam profile for trolls who will put ascii peepees and call me cheats after I got lucky killing them with my 1.3KDA account

[late walrus]

need cheater comments

[left orbit]

been called ping abuser on EU 20ms about 4 times

[late walrus]

cause its funny

killing someone and then seeing a steam notif is like

such a great feeling

[neon glacier]

it feels good

[uneven flax]

I want maintain my peace

[late walrus]

someone deadass commented lucky shot on my acc

[neon glacier]

there ppl who would lose to u and call u shit

[open flax]

i dont think they cheat

[left orbit]

also people who win to you and are still mad at you

[uneven flax]

Am I the only one who feels like sometimes they don't wanna fire up Hunt because they dont want to lose a lot and want to keep their peace

That's me rn

[open flax]

but some might still be derendering or maybe reshading to remove foliage somehow at best

[hollow crescent]

I mean, you can get a few cheap kits and bum rush clash for the luls

and if you wipe the floor you use vulture and profit

[uneven flax]

my hunter slots full of level 50 hunters : (

[hollow crescent]

do you not spare a few slots for new hunters

[open flax]

wait i got a question, the hunt dollars u loot off hunters is rng or dependent on what they have on them

[uneven flax]

also its not the money loss. it's just the feeling of dying

[hollow crescent]

all rng

[uneven flax]

pure RNG. 50-1000

[open flax]

ic

[late walrus]

the only thing in looting that isnt rng is looting other peoples pledgemarks and looting tarot cards

[open flax]

so effectively just a reggy

[left orbit]

you're addicted, son

[uneven flax]

how is that addicted. yes i love hunt and play this shit a lot but not opening the game because of being afraid of losing feels like the opposite of addiction

[late walrus]

dont want to sound rude but you might be taking the game too seriously

[hollow crescent]

with that said based on how many lootable bodies there are you can always make an estimate guess as to how much you can get

assuming vulture a full lobby wipe will typically net you 450-500 at worst possible luck

[uneven flax]

it's like.. depression for games

[uneven flax]

true. 1/4 of the time I do esp if i want to win bad.

[late walrus]

never in my life have a decided not to play something because i was scared of losing

[open flax]

idk whenever i feel like that feels like im way too addicted

[left orbit]

afraid of losing is an issue 😌

[uneven flax]

id lose 1-3x and is all good. But I lose 10x and the 11th game is super dam serious

[late walrus]

could just take a break after the 5th loss

[neon glacier]

why do you lose

[uneven flax]

cause u aint carry me bitch

[left orbit]

"just don't lose"

[open flax]

just win

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neon glacier]

no like

what makes u lose

[uneven flax]

Definitely some essence there. If there's this sense of focus towards winning that could be lowkey addiction

[late walrus]

i mean they werent asking for advice on how to win

[open flax]

usually for me its games like val and cs

[neon glacier]

i lose when i miss my shots

[late walrus]

yeah

[open flax]

dont wanna click in a comp after a huge winstreak or lose streak

that is when i hop off XD

[late walrus]

i sit in shooting range for like 20min before playing because ill just miss and die if i dont lmao

[open flax]

is there any other way to lose

in a fps game

[neon glacier]

like today my first 5 games were shit and finally a good game

[late walrus]

being stupid

[open flax]

but if u hit all ur shots

u win anyways

[left orbit]

yes. maynard silenced bushwookie

[late walrus]

even if you have the best aim on the planet it wont save you from making a stupid decision

[neon glacier]

bad ping or disconnet

[late walrus]

like if you arent hitting shots

[open flax]

death by crytek

[late walrus]

and you push

[open flax]

plz no

[late walrus]

and are now visible to like 3 teams

[uneven flax]

dang i didnt know crytek bought all the basic hunter models from humble bundle

[late walrus]

your aim isnt saving you

at least not often anyway

[turbid dock]

My take is that while sure, consistent aim is important to not blunder, whenever you die it usually wasn't solely because you missed a shot, you were relying on aim to get you out of a risky position you put yourself into, yknow?

[neon glacier]

play shotgun or bow

[hollow crescent]

having cracked aim won't save you from a trap or some corner camping shotgun user

[late walrus]

i mean unless youre john careful not every single peek is going to be 100% safe

[uneven flax]

Winning in Hunt involves a lot of luck also

[turbid dock]

Ofc, but taking a 50/50 is called an ego peek for a reason hah

[neon glacier]

hmmm

[late walrus]

i mean its not always a 50/50

[turbid dock]

Gotta rig the peek in your favor first

[uneven flax]

lets say you third party a team who wiped two other teams, if you kill em that lobby wipe is like 80% luck and 20% skill

[late walrus]

sometimes i will take a super safe peek and then i will just miss

and i will be punished

[open flax]

im kinda liking the 1865 carbine fmj now

[uneven flax]

GOOD MAN

[turbid dock]

It was always goated

[uneven flax]

spencer carbine best gun

it sounds like sex

[open flax]

ive gotten 4 good games in a row with it

juicy

[turbid dock]

Just stay within like 30 meters and you've got a repeating sparks

[open flax]

the high dmg is a plus

[late walrus]

not long ammo dont want it

[uneven flax]

the cycling also feels so.. clicky. then you reload and all the bullets going in is like moans

[late walrus]

i think my favourite gun rn is drilling with hv

[open flax]

taking a break from long ammo

[wise plume]

does anyone have a pet snake

[late walrus]

using drilling dumdum makes you forget that the drilling is like

actually a really good rifle

not just the cqc gun

you get 655 mv with hv and great drop range

dont remember the exact range

[uneven flax]

how many eyes we talking about

[late walrus]

think it was like 160

[wise plume]

actual snake bro

i want to own a corn snake

https://tenor.com/view/cola-irl-gif-20366799

[late walrus]

even if you dont headtap with it you have 655mv and a double barrel

[open flax]

alot of dum dum usage is to help team with pressure and pushing i feel like

[late walrus]

easy ass 2 taps

[open flax]

no wallbangs is rough

[late walrus]

i mean yeah thats what status effects are for really

[open flax]

ive also started using wildland what is all the hype for it

[late walrus]

running all that dumdum makes it look more and more like a close range weapon the more you use it tho

[turbid dock]

What does it even take to keep a snake happy? One whole carcass a month or something? Do they need lots of space? Play time? Intellectual stimulation? Bonding?

Wtf is a snake

[open flax]

just a better cent?

with belt reload

[hollow crescent]

it's a cenny with insane mag size and a speedloader, so

[late walrus]

ironeye on it is perfect, has levering spam, keeps like 510mv even with fmj, swift reload

amazing irons

it is basically just a better cent

[hollow crescent]

its irons is fantastic yeah

[neon glacier]

i was asking him if we could team up and fight the trio following me

[wise plume]

playing football and chess

[late walrus]

126 damage

[open flax]

do u think they are gonna stay as scarce guns

[late walrus]

wildland and homestead yeah

[turbid dock]

Wildland is a medium ranger swift, it's the goat of versatility

[late walrus]

their purpose is just being a better version of something else so

[turbid dock]

Bringing levering is a 100% must

[open flax]

fair

[late walrus]

homestead is like the most fun shotgun imo

[turbid dock]

If you don't bring levering with your wildland you might as well be bringing a nagant pistol

[late walrus]

not really the best one because like

[uneven flax]

better be. Wildland is insanely OP

[late walrus]

crown and specter exist

but its the most fun

[uneven flax]

Guns that are basically better than literally anything shouldnt exist in this fucking game

[late walrus]

doesnt even feel bad to fight tbf

[gray aurora]

time to go gather some dark tributes again

[late walrus]

yeah its just better than the other lever actions but like

when i lose to it i didnt lose because he has a wildland

so it doesnt really feel bad

[hollow crescent]

homestead with penny is always a good time

if only it actually shows up in the crate instead of only regular buck or slugs

[uneven flax]

because it doesnt feel as scummy as long ammo

[late walrus]

i HATE penny

[uneven flax]

however at its ranges Wildland is basically better than any other gun

[late walrus]

it literally doesnt feel scummy at all

i could get double tapped by any other gun i could get levering spammed by any other lever action

[uneven flax]

If they're gonna start selling Wildland, that speed loader needs to go

[late walrus]

they have no reason to start letting people buy it

its fine the way it is

[hollow crescent]

specifically on the homestead it's not bad because of the fast 2 tap

buck is obv still the way to go with it but I'm enjoying penny on it

and I personally haven't found the reduced range to be all that noticable

[late walrus]

idk i just hate using penny

doesnt feel as good as buck

[hollow crescent]

I generally don't touch penny either unless I start a fresh prestige and using romero

since I need to break doors sometimes

[uneven flax]

why does Spencer carbine have no levering when it is literally levered?

[wise plume]

because its already good enough

[heavy finch]

cus look at it. that flimsy thing would break.

[late walrus]

could never truly get into the carbine because it just feels like an old shit gun

the silenced doesnt feel so bad

but then i have to use the base to unlock silenced

[turbid dock]

You gotta cock the hammer manually every time

[opal dawn]

Now the ironside on the other hand, has no external hammer

So let's get to lever it!

[proven raptor]

The loader doesn’t really allow it to be used wuth levering. It’s probably super clunky.

[opal dawn]

Ironside! Now with New Less Clunky Loader! Limited edition!

[left orbit]

it's already super clunky

[opal dawn]

The loader is very funny tbh, the bullets just gets pushed up and they drop into the chamber

[late walrus]

hm

[proven raptor]

I mean the fact that you have to crank the lever to push the ammos outside, most likely needs more effort than the regular opening :p

[left orbit]

[tall canopy]

shotgun

wait

nvm

flame thrower

[royal cloak]

Avto, Hammer, 4 hives.

[late walrus]

if youre gonna run a hammer and 4 hives at least run something to add more pressure

springfield dumdum would work pretty well with hives and hammer

works with hammer because they have to stop the bleed and you can run at them

[royal cloak]

Nope, Avto

[late walrus]

works with hives because they take a shitload of damage + bleed and they have a hive on them

balright

[heavy finch]

yes but bees = sound location info. Avto = wallbang machine.

[late walrus]

right but you have an avto with no ammo boxes and no ammo pooling

[heavy finch]

https://klipy.com/gifs/kingbluprint-22--k01KPZFM1EJZ6MF92CYPMXCVVRM

[late walrus]

they gotta add pen to the quad derringer eventually

just like 1 thin wooden wall even

[tall canopy]

god no

[late walrus]

why not

it would do like 2 damage through the walls

[tall canopy]

same for the penny ringer is using penny shot

[late walrus]

no one uses it anyway

and i dont think it would make it that much more popular for it to be cancerous

[tall canopy]

as much as i love the derringer, no

[late walrus]

shit would just be funny

[tall canopy]

it would be too powerfull. i would just try to headshot ppl thru walls with the derringer

[late walrus]

toolslots already taken up by melee, medkit, chokes, burns, pennyringer

[tall canopy]

thats on you

just pick other things

[late walrus]

tbh i wouldnt mind pennyringer being replaced by quad derringer wallbang spamming

[tall canopy]

its your choice what u pick

[late walrus]

bro

im talking about like half the community

barely see people bringing shit other than that outside of clash

in clash people will run like decoy fuses its pretty funny

[tall canopy]

well its on the players what they want to bring

you have all the options

only because many ppl run those tools doenst mean you have to too

[late walrus]

the point is that those 5 things are usually the first thought

because theyre really fucking good

and it would be cool if something else was really fucking good

or if they nerfed pennyringer

this is like if i said a bunch of people run mosin spitzer and you said thats on them

[whole furnace]

I think it is fine the derringer doesn't pen, wouldn't think it would break anything it does, but like, it just a dingy little thing.

[late walrus]

thats why it would be funny

shitting on people with a tool through walls

[open flax]

fmj derringer

[turbid dock]

Good melee variants of most guns could probably help free up one potential slot

[hollow crescent]

I genuinely haven't seen a mf run decoy fuses in clash, they either run the meta kit or fucking nothing at all other than a medkit and maybe burn or penny for breaching doors

I see more decoy fuses in BH if anything

[whole furnace]

Eh think I'd rather give it +10m in drop range.

[turbid dock]

Like reduce the stamina consumption of all gun meleeing

Make that stuff more viable as an alternative to a melee slot

That would be pretty sick

[late walrus]

i mean as long as throwing spear exists

[turbid dock]

I want to see people actually using the weird frankenstein welded weapons

[tall canopy]

the fact alone that it would give the derringer the ability to headshot ppl thru walls is so bad

[whole furnace]

As someone who just did 10 level of Henry badge, mostly with riposte, I don't think that is needed.
But to be fair riposte light is great

[hollow crescent]

most people that actually run melee variants ( and isn't just because they got one for free off of drops, a corpse or a new unlock ) will most likely take stam shot with them anyway

and 4 shot boons are everywhere

[turbid dock]

Yeah but it just sucks to make stamina a bigger concern like that if you want to clear out a tool slot

[late walrus]

the amount of "bombs" ive had thrown at me in clash is scary

still waiting for crytek to remove all vegetation from clash maps

[hollow crescent]

clash truly brings out some ingenuity in people sometimes I suppose

I've seen people taking poltergeist just so they can open locked doors and with the bonus of fucking around with whoever makes it in first

[whole furnace]

But then again, you get to clear out a tool slot for a melee that literally have no other downside to the gun.

Think that is fair

[hollow crescent]

unless you're using the specter bayonet

[late walrus]

the stamina system pisses me off tbh

[turbid dock]

Availability is the issue with that rn, the melee variants are kinda limited. Like, I would gladly ditch my knuckle knives if there was a spitfire brawler (or the brawler had spitfire stats) and those used slightly less stam

[whole furnace]

Oh yeah lol, lmao even

[late walrus]

having to walk around on a brisk stroll because i killed some grunts

because crytek decided to put 74948 grunts in every compound

something something complains about consumables

complains about tools

[opal dawn]

I remember when bayo added some extra sway to a weapon

[tall canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-disappears-gif-26399024

[late walrus]

derails into complaining about general balancing

[hollow crescent]

but your statement is true though

atp if I want to use a slate at all and I have the riptose unlock I'd just take it every time and replace my spear with decoy fuses

[whole furnace]

I mean, in my Hunt, that is the point, trade-offs and gain.
It shouldn't be convenient to get everything

[hollow crescent]

there's kinda just no point in taking the normal slate anymore

[turbid dock]

Not what I'm saying either, for what its worth

I love tradeoffs

But melee variants rn just aren't very viable alternatives to melee tools

[whole furnace]

Except they are

Dunno

Man

[late walrus]

throwing spear exists unfortunately

[whole furnace]

Again, just played Martini Henry Riposte every day for months

[late walrus]

and i cant throw a martini henry at someone

[whole furnace]

Spear is spear

[late walrus]

pretty sad

why cant i throw a martini at someone

[tall canopy]

so instead of nerfing the spear u wont other tools broken?

[late walrus]

didnt say buff the other shit btw

[turbid dock]

I can also play dual rival shorty if i want and can make it work

[late walrus]

i said derringer wallbangs

which was mostly just in jest

[whole furnace]

I mean, yeah, even have mace variant

Jokes aside

[late walrus]

i didnt say we should buff every grunt killing tool

[whole furnace]

Riposte is really good, if not the best melee variant you can get for gun

[late walrus]

but yeah. i want all the other tools to be broken

[sinful aurora]

derringer FMJ when

[turbid dock]

Like come on, the most viable choices are obviously spear+pennyringer (we ignore this for the time being lol) and knuckle knife

[whole furnace]

Brawler is also good

[late walrus]

make throwing knives deal 500 damage crytek

[whole furnace]

Officer brawler is goated side-arm

[late walrus]

and give them blademancer

[turbid dock]

Yeah officer brawler is awesome

[late walrus]

i have like one issue with riposte and its blunt damage

[whole furnace]

I ran dusters still, but you can argue that you can remove that for penny ringer

[late walrus]

i tend to just melee with my gun to kill grunts and i cant do that with riposte

mostly just a personal thing

[sinful aurora]

oh that reminded me i wanted to do some tests with the specter riposte. compare it to the regular specter and the slate riposte.

[late walrus]

theres def other options

[hollow crescent]

talons are also pretty good, esp when it comes to boss killing

but it being a diagonal swing and not a forward thrust kinda screws it over in the pvp department a bit

[late walrus]

its a bayonet buddy

[whole furnace]

Once again, trade-offs and gains.
If melee variants were as good as straight up melee weapons it wouldn't be a choice

[late walrus]

lol specter bayonet irons are just a massive block

its so shit

[hollow crescent]

true, true

[sinful aurora]

oh no, bayo?

me no likey

[turbid dock]

But officer brawler is one gun! Where's is my scottfield brawler with spitfire stats? Or my pax that isn't a fucking claw? Or officer carbine with a melee attachment? Y'know?

The availability of melee attachments is just really poor, and even then bayonets and claws aren't worth considering for pve

I want more melee variants

😔

[late walrus]

please do not give anything to the officer carbine until its nerfed

that stupid thing

[opal dawn]

Instructions unclear, officer carbine is now long ammo

[late walrus]

💔

[turbid dock]

We've actually fitted the officer carbine with a chain now

It holds 22 bullets

[late walrus]

officer carbine pisses me off so much

and the people who think its not insane piss me off more

[whole furnace]

Ah yes, just give every weapon every melee variant, that worked well with custom ammo.
That said, Scotty Brawler should either get is old barrel back or become a spitfire.

[tall canopy]

[late walrus]

officer carbine hv having like 460(?) mv and its an easy ass 2 tap

no skill needed

[opal dawn]

Spitfire brawler 🤤

[late walrus]

mindless kills

we will in a world of spam

[tall canopy]

officer brawler is now nagant brawler to balance the spitfire

[turbid dock]

We definitely should give out way more melee variants, there's no way in hell you think widely available melee variants can be even close to as broken or annoying as custom ammo spam lol

Like come on

[whole furnace]

Hell yeah, my boy nagant keeps winning!

[tall canopy]

officer fmj when?

[turbid dock]

More melee variants is just a win win win situation for everyone

No drawbacks

Crytek even gets to pad battlepasses with more skins

[late walrus]

need more mosin skins really

[opal dawn]

Not enough!

[whole furnace]

I mean, it is the same issue that if you keep giving every gun every melee variant option it is not longer a choice but just running the best gun with the best melee variant.
Like sure Mosin get Bayonet, but the Henry at least have the Riposte over that.

[late walrus]

its kind of funny to me how theres all those mosin skins and theres like 2 that i actually like

and 1 of them is centenary

[opal dawn]

Uppercut brawler

[turbid dock]

the best mosin skin is the lebel wolfsbane

[late walrus]

im at like prestige 45 now

so im getting there

need centenary

oh and fifty laurels is nice

[hollow crescent]

altar boy though

[late walrus]

wont be best until its been cleaned

[hollow crescent]

I dig empty cairne a lot

it's a shame that I missed out on the event that gave out the avtomat variant

[late walrus]

for some reason when you load in and look at it its dirty

pisses me off

[turbid dock]

It's cool, but no aperture = no use

[late walrus]

i love the skin but come on bro

[turbid dock]

I'm aperture enjoyer #1

[late walrus]

i dont mind empty cairn

[opal dawn]

Dear lord, a madman is in here

[late walrus]

but its not something i particularly like

[hollow crescent]

is it, hold on

I haven't used the lebel in a minute

[late walrus]

we need a seperate aperture sensitivity for nitro

cause youll use nitro at much closer range than the other aperture sights

so when you have your sens for normal apertures and you pick up a nitro it feels like shit

[turbid dock]

Its true

But being clunky as shit is also kind of a part of the nitro "balancing"

I wonder if a nitro with a flippable aperture would work as a scarce weapon

Probably not

[late walrus]

being clunky and having to adjust your sens are different things

[whole furnace]

God please no

[hollow crescent]

it is lmao

what a shame

[late walrus]

yeah

[turbid dock]

Honestly I'm not even sure how strong a flippable nitro would be compared to the other stuff we have now

[late walrus]

i like yelled at home about it and he said he will look into it

i will have altar boy cleaned one day

[turbid dock]

There's been a decent amount of weapon powercreep throughout the years

[whole furnace]

It had to get its aperture blur nerfed bc too good of a sight window made it too strong.

[hollow crescent]

what you're looking at is effectively a rival ( or I guess it's more like a homestead now ) that can pen through brick walls and has access to shredder

[late walrus]

it would be crazy

imagine the bow but its easy as fuck to hit those 35m shots on moving targets

[turbid dock]

Like a spear already does this just without the penetration

[gray aurora]

nitro is still crazy good even in my hands

[turbid dock]

And its a tool slot

[gray aurora]

at my lvl

[late walrus]

the thing stopping nitro from being in like every match is that its semi difficult to use

[gray aurora]

also if you are prestiger it cost a alot

[late walrus]

if you could flip the sight on it suddenly you have a good mv easy one tap to thorax with the only downside being ammo

but ammo box exists so

[whole furnace]

Spear doesn't flies at 495m/s easily tapping you across compound.

[whole furnace]

It wouldn't be "flip sight" it would be "Nitro with normal iron sights"

Bc NO ONE would ever think to use the Aperture sight ever.

[late walrus]

true

[hollow crescent]

not, really?

as long as you win a decent amount of games and levelled enough to either have vulture available or hit level 62 and beyond you can run nitro pretty consistently

[hollow relic]

The bertier is one of the best snipers? I saw a vid where it was tier s and now they buffed it. Its because i want the skins in the shop

[turbid dock]

There are no good snipers

do not listen to the lies of Big Scope

[late walrus]

i mean berthier marksman is great but theres def better

[tall canopy]

i play scopes and i dont really like the berthier

[hollow relic]

And with no scope the betthier is good?

[late walrus]

lebel marksman spitzer has 850mv and is spammable with scopesmith

[tall canopy]

well not i dont like it, theres just better options

[hollow relic]

In general, with and with out scope

[turbid dock]

i mean, its a long ammo repeater, of course its good

it cant not be good

[late walrus]

berthier is a great gun

[hollow relic]

Any option better? I use the centennial

[tall canopy]

great gun, but others are better with scope

[hollow relic]

Like the kind of weapons like mossin krag and berthier?

[late walrus]

crytek where is bornheim match marksman

[turbid dock]

If you're a headshot demon there's the infantry sniper for you

With its low bullet drop

[late walrus]

tbf if youre running snipers the goal usually is headshots

[tall canopy]

nah. whe i play with scopes its mostly maynard silencer, centennial sniper, krag and sometimes lebel, but only when i find it ingame

[late walrus]

some people dont like the winfield snipers because of mv

[hollow relic]

Ou okay

[late walrus]

i like them but i can see why someone wouldnt like their mv

[tall canopy]

imo the winfield sniper and marksman are kinda fun as well

[late walrus]

winfield sniper is very fun

[turbid dock]

Don't forget though

Scopes are unethical and will guarantee you a spot in hell

[late walrus]

true

but who cares

[hollow relic]

Xd

[late walrus]

crown users exist

bow users exist

[hollow relic]

Me

[late walrus]

snipers probably wouldnt get the worst hell

[hollow crescent]

idk, there are scope users who push / play within compound ranges

[hollow relic]

I use bow plus short scoped centennial 🗿

[tall canopy]

in the end just try out the scoped weapons in the shooting range.

all loadouts are beautiful :)

[hollow crescent]

not every sniper sit in a bush 100+ meters away

[turbid dock]

yeah this is a lot more ethical

[short halo]

A homestead that can 1hk to 40m upper chest (60 with shredder)

[hollow relic]

Yeah

I only use the scope to have advantage at distance

[hollow crescent]

and god help you if the devil is also in play

[hollow crescent]

one thing that still annoys me is that some weapon variants do not show up in the firing range at all, or if they are I deadass don't know where to find them, example being the berthier / berthier marksman

the roof where all of the scoped weapons are have just about everything except for the berthier

[tall canopy]

i think the berthier is there, maybe in front ot the fort south side. but the marksman is not on there i think ye

[short halo]

I'm not sure why they skip some weapons. It'd be better to have everything there imo

[uneven flax]

yep some guns dont exist there

[hollow crescent]

^

the romero also isn't there

which is fine ig, I can always bring one in

[uneven flax]

im willing to bet my left nut Crytek devs just have no way of spawning the guns with a UI or something, and it has to be lootable. And to do that they have to manually place everything all over the map

[hollow crescent]

but having to leave the range to bring specific weapons in to warm up with is annoying

[hollow relic]

What weapons are ur fav?

Its to try to use different guns and try

[uneven flax]

1865 + pax is my fav combo rn

its like meta but medium ammo

[late walrus]

depends on when you ask tbh

[short halo]

Sure, but with some placement adjustment, they could easily fit everything in the front courtyard

[late walrus]

rn favourite has to be drilling HV

[hollow relic]

The One That have 3 bullets?

[hollow crescent]

take a wild guess

[hollow relic]

Ill try it the pax is one of mi fav revolvers

[late walrus]

yeah it has 2 rifle barrels and a shotgun barrel

[hollow relic]

U Love pistols i guess

[hollow crescent]

you're not wrong though, I love my trueshot and uppercut

[hollow relic]

I wish they bring a good bow skin to the shop i saw a Lot of them really cool 😔

[fathom shale]

All of those are just to hide the fact that you have a tier 10 mosin badge like every other person seemingly

[hollow crescent]

[late walrus]

lmao

[fathom shale]

Don't need player kills for it

I bet you grinded it to tier 10 on AI

Smh

[late walrus]

random 6* teammate mentality

[hollow crescent]

if someone actually grinded AI enough to hit level 10 on a gun without a single hunter kill I'd actually be impressed

[hollow relic]

145 dmg 🗿 wth is this weapon the only bad is the bullet speed

[uneven flax]

MV dont matter on most fights as well so its a truck

Bomblance is a blessing

[scarlet plinth]

Either bomblance or harpoon gun

Your choice

[whole furnace]

@cobalt junco
I mean, it is his own subjective opinion I guess.
Also he might have a set up that doesn't utilize the sound profile Hunt has :)

[light pendant]

Hey, I'm trying to optimise for bush camping with the krag sniper, since I have the hidden strike skin for it, apparently the reptillian and the scaled warrior are the most reccommended, I wondered which of those you guys thought would be better.

[cobalt junco]

Ahhh..what would that profile be btw? I'm wondering if mines inadequate too

[light pendant]

[And yes this is how i play all shooting games, sitting in a bush with a sniper]

[hollow relic]

U can do a bug if u unstall the game because half of ur Hunter be invisible so u can hide better , u have to unstall then install it and again unstall eliminating the data only

[fathom shale]

[whole furnace]

Well, first off, do they have a headset that actually can give them that depth required.
Then second step is to disable things such as Spatial Audio in windows and surround settings.

[hollow relic]

U can try it

Trust trust

[fathom shale]

No thanks

[hollow crescent]

well there's also the actual bushwookie skin that's free

if you're willing to grind out 2 level 50 hunters

[raven totem]

even then they're kinda teal

[light pendant]

Yes, I saw that tier 3 skin, I actualy only found out about those today because I have only been playign a week, reckon its a better option than the reptillian then?

I guess he has a more broken up shape

Due to the ghillie style stuff

[raven totem]

you should take note of skins you've a hard time seeing

[cobalt junco]

Alrighty I think I have turned off spatial audio but I don't think I've done anything to the sorround sound settings

I'll tell him to do the same

[hollow crescent]

I'ma keep it real either choice is fine, lots of skins are able to blend into the environment even when they're not explicitly a literal bush like Jesse here or the gater folks

I'm only mentioning this guy because he's accessible for free

whereas with the other 2 you have to fork out real money for them

[outer iron]

Not a bush wookie, but we ran into this dude that unintentionally perfectly blended into the wall. We were so confused.

[cobalt junco]

In terms of headset he has, I'm not sure yet I'll ask him and get back to you.

[proven raptor]

<@&357256267087085568>

[light pendant]

Hm yeah, what I'll do is stick to using felis atm, which I already own and then try and grind out that tier 3, thats a goal, something to do, and also results in a better bushcamp skin

Thanks

[whole furnace]

Like I cannot really advice too much on headset bc different headset have different audio profiles.
So there is a lot of trial an errors and tweaking.

[proven raptor]

Be aware that Jesse won’t be very helpful in DeSalle in general, for camo.

[light pendant]

Right, naturally.

[raven totem]

there are a lot of places they stick out frankly

[light sky]

Guh

[raven totem]

and the color is a touch off so sometimes they kinda stick out in woods as well

but if you wanna be camo boy send that shit

[light pendant]

Yessir 🫡

He might seem obvious in the clip. But in that stressed moment he was invisible to us both.

[hollow crescent]

he's still arguably the best choice for a free bushman skin though

arguably there are better skin for that ( The Ward of the Reptilian comes to mind, dude is thin as shit and the gator cloak thing he has going on can blend into the environment really easily ), but there's not a whole lot in terms of free stuff

[raven totem]

I disagree, but I'll not go futher into detail.

[outer iron]

Was even worse in my friends clip because his game is so dark.

[hollow crescent]

what else do you think is better then, in terms of free options

[raven totem]

thats the fun part, I don't actually want to be helpful to this kind of discussion

[light pendant]

Yeah, I mean I don't mind spending a couple quid on a skin, personally, I guess my real question is tier 3 bushguy or reptile/ward, and then of reptile/ward which is better and why

They all look nice to me

So id be happy either way

[raven totem]

but I will argue that the bush skins are way over rated and over hapred on

[scarlet plinth]

Holy shit

Guys

Welder Flame or Torch

[light sky]

Just buy both

[scarlet plinth]

[outer iron]

I used reptillisn back in 3* and I still hate those kind of skins. But I take style over tactical advantage these days.

[hollow crescent]

it's like what, 960 for both?

you're already spending 800 on one of them, might as well go a little further

[scarlet plinth]

Fuck it

[pulsar roost]

[raven totem]

[pulsar roost]

[hollow crescent]

or the one that sang the song for circus rerun

[raven totem]

ah yes giggles 2.0

[haughty sky]

imagine not using default hunter skins in 2026

[whole furnace]

Kinda reductive way at classifying it

[raven totem]

the only clown skin I run is winky

[whole furnace]

But also I hate both giggles and sunshine's design, so don't care lol

[raven totem]

I do like winky

[light sky]

Ah yes, V from cyberpunk 2077

[raven totem]

when the wildland and homestead came out I called them gigacent and giga rival

wouldn't she be more like the fool though, she literally has the fucking joinkler getup going on with her face

[raven totem]

idk to be frank I've never looked that close at her

[haughty sky]

it's so bad

[whole furnace]

I don't mind Fem-V's design.
But yeah Sunshine's design just doesn't work

[hollow crescent]

it's all fun and games until you got fucking eyeball rings staring at you

at least the tattoos look good

[whole furnace]

I read this except from behind the scenes design of Sunshine and I cringe everytime lol

"A real badass main character type."

[hollow crescent]

She needs to fit the murder circus theme while also be more grounded

I'm sorry but how is having like 5 fucking eye ball rings supposed to make her be more grounded

[whole furnace]

Anarchism is when you craaaaazy and murder people.

[turbid dock]

Is sunshine is the singer in the in-game port sulphur band or was that just that one trailer

[hollow crescent]

should be just for that one trailer

it'd be really wack if she was the in-world tie in of PSB

[whole furnace]

Don't think she is related to the port sulphur band lore

[whole furnace]

PSB?

nvm

I get it

[turbid dock]

Lol

[hollow crescent]

but like, her general outfit isn't all bad, it's not too far off from what normal hunters typically wears

it's just everything else she has going on

[whole furnace]

Think she would overall work better if she wore the hat

But yeah, it is more the clown make up that kinda just ruins everything

Also giving her 4 of those chunky ass eye rings didn't help

Like give her one

Like she got a fucking friend here lmao

[hollow crescent]

yeah lmao

I'm the very minority that loves her for who she is but even I find the eye rings a bit much

I thought dorothy nightmare was already edgy enough

she's worse, like 10x worse

[whole furnace]

Especially bc she have no motifs around eyes as far I am aware.
Like, she is not a seer of any kind?

Guess here dark dynamite satchel skin talks a little about it?

The symbol that marks this Dark Dynamite Satchel is of mysterious origin. Some say its ominous glow is simply a trick of the light, but others claim its a sort of peephole for the Sculptor. Do you dare to come close enough to see the truth?

[turbid dock]

She wears the eyes because she's an occult larper

[haughty sky]

to be way too fair. if you loop all the way back around to dark woke egoism that is kinda true

[whole furnace]

"dark woke egoism"?

[haughty sky]

egoism. in other words

[whole furnace]

Okay, let me rephrase "dark woke"?????

[haughty sky]

it's basically wokeism that doesn't care about slurs. I was trying to be funny.

[late walrus]

dark woke lmao

[opal dawn]

This convo direction is funny ngl

[late walrus]

im learning today

[hollow crescent]

it's hard to say because they're tying specific skin lines to many hunters now instead of all of them having unique ones for themselves

[whole furnace]

I must admit I am not familiar with any of such subculture.
So the punchline is lost on me 😅

[haughty sky]

Max Stirner says. "I do not step shyly back from your property, but look upon it always as my property, in which I respect nothing. Pray do the like with what you call my property!"

Holy hell, a max stirner quote in hunt-gen, something's gotta be a first

[haughty sky]

I am very clearly out of my element here

[whole furnace]

I understand that Anarchism is a complexed and nuance thing, my original comment was just more to point out that usually media depict Anarchism as only the "crazy clown chaos" version.

[haughty sky]

no yeah it was funny I thought I was adding to the funny but since I had to explain my joke.... it was obviously not a good joke lol

[raven totem]

why the fuck is the profile picture so familiar?

[whole furnace]

Naw you just missed me with a topic I was not familiar with, no sweat.
But let us steer away now before it invites people to actually talking politics lol

[haughty sky]

we have to put these clown hunter players on game

[haughty sky]

it's like this. i basically understand philosophy and politics through memes. as one should.

By the way I use a cheap turtlbeach recon 70 headset when I play. Are these not good enough or should I be just tweaking the settings to make it more optimal? Should I be investing in better headphones?

wtf

[late walrus]

people used to abuse infinite revive to farm KD

so now redskull doesnt count

[haughty sky]

Do you use 3.5mm plugins? Do you have a budget if you were to upgrade? Do you want wireless? What you like?

[neon glacier]

but my kd man

[late walrus]

sad world we live in

[neon glacier]

i need that kill

[turbid dock]

Are you having issues with locating sounds or something?

[neon glacier]

its always us people ruining it

[haughty sky]

amazon.com/DROP-PC38X-Gaming-Headset-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B0FDH3NK2L

These go on sale often so I prob wouldn't buy them for full price but these do everything imo for pc gaming headset plug and play.

[neon glacier]

do you use it

[haughty sky]

Naur but I use same brand.

[haughty sky]

fr fr for gaming you do not benefit a lot for spending a lot. You can buy 80 dollar wireless razers and you are set.

Unless there is something bothering you about your current set e.g.

comfort
battery life
compatibility
volume

then you might not see a huge return on your investment. for gaming. specifically

[neon glacier]

these 'gaming' ones suck tho

sennhiser is not cheap also

[turbid dock]

Legit just don't buy anything branded as a gaming headphone unless its from sennheiser or you absolutely, desperately need the attached microphone

[haughty sky]

[neon glacier]

i use shp9500 im waiting for it to die so i upgrade to 58x or hd600

[haughty sky]

these are my favorite "gaming" headset that I have tried. period.

[turbid dock]

nonono

not the sennheiser closed backs

oh god

[neon glacier]

shp9500 is really goated

[haughty sky]

they're wireless. minimal drivers. built in sidetone. unironic 100+ hours of battery life. very comfortable. you cannot ask more of them.

they are outdated, but they are extremely comfortable (for me) and have extreme battery life.

[raven totem]

open backs can suck my whole ass

[neon glacier]

why wireless for gaming

[turbid dock]

i'm fairly sure i can ask for better sound hah, all the sennheiser closed backs i've tried have sounded pretty unpleasant compared to their open backs. That's not necessarily too important though, any sennheiser headphone, closed or not, is gonna be 100x better than any other "gaming" headphone

[light sky]

Wireless is peak

[haughty sky]

for the price. yes. but there are a lot of options that challenge them these days

[neon glacier]

yea theyre old af

[haughty sky]

that's what I'm saying. they're 100 bucks for a comfortable. long battery life. wireless headphone. they rule

[haughty sky]

cause you can stand up from your desk without getting tangled in cords. and they're just about as good.

[neon glacier]

i can never go back to closed back gaming headsets

[haughty sky]

in that case the pc38x thing I linked earlier may be your friend.

I own / have owned a few different sets of 500+ dollar headphones and the HD560S hooked up to a 100 dollar amp are my actual favorite headphones to listen to music on.,

I started out as a sennheiser hater. unironically. I thought it sounded thin and weird. the more I use em the more I become senny fanboy

[wintry tide]

is this a glitch? wtf is this?

[turbid dock]

Anything in the HD series from sennheiser is a 100% safe bet for hunt, like HD560s or even the old HD599

neutral and clear, exactly what you want for HRTF audio

[haughty sky]

gaming headphones are still better for hearing footsteps sryyyy

hd560s are my unironic grails

[turbid dock]

What in the actual world would that even mean

what the fuck haha

[haughty sky]

they're crunchy and compressed. the quality of the audio unironically does not matter

[turbid dock]

What are the gaming companies putting inside these "gaming" headphones that makes them better at hearing/locating footsteps?

[haughty sky]

nothing

they're crunchy and compressed

[fathom shale]

I will never get any headphones/headsets marketed as "gaming" versions ever again after getting just decent normal stereo headphones

[haughty sky]

they're shit, but if I had to guess, game devs probably mix the audio to account for that

Like I said, I've gamed on 1K headphones + 1k amp setups and it confers no advantage or

[turbid dock]

For hunt you don't want compressed and/or processed sound though, you want them to be neutral, like the reference Beyers the Hunt devs mix for, so the HRTF can work its magic

[short halo]

Knuckle knife can "drag" through the hitboxes from upper torso to head. This will deal the 149 dmg

[haughty sky]

hunt is obviously an exception amongst most, but I'm mostly a cs player.

[haughty sky]

obviously no procesing.

[turbid dock]

and no insane bass boosts either, bass is easy to hear but very hard to locate spatially

[haughty sky]

I have owned/ lived with like 3 different pairs of BDs and I don't like them. MOSTLY because they're really uncomfortable (for me)

[turbid dock]

yeah im not that big of a beyer fan either personally

[haughty sky]

well the original question was what is a good """""""""gaming headset""""""""

and I say either gsp370 for wireless or pc38x for wired. I do not think either will disappoint.

Otherwise just go buy a razer headset. those are all perfectly servicable.

[wintry tide]

a headshot means a headshot it doesn't matter if it's dragged it's a headshot and a headshot kills........

[haughty sky]

or just go hyperx cloud. that can't hurt either.

[raven totem]

ye been a thing for ever

[neon glacier]

if i headshot you with shotgun will you die?

[haughty sky]

it would be extremely painful

[late walrus]

not every headshot in the game is a 1 tap

most are

but something like buckshot isnt

if you go headshot someone with your bare hands it will only do 60 damage

[turbid dock]

unless you're headshotting with a knuckle knife that has also hit the torso hah

it's a rounding error

[haughty sky]

they sound really GOOD but they don't sound "pleasing" (to me.)

[late walrus]

and this has made me realise with beserker and poison ammo existing its very possible to tag someone and then kill them with a 120 damage right hook

[turbid dock]

If you hit a low dmg body part first and drag over to a higher dmg body part, the game seemingly adds damage to compensate for the difference

when going from torso to the head, apparent rounding errors makes this 149 dmg

[wintry tide]

i still call bullshit a headshot means a headshot no matter what. so if crytek can't handle making a headshot kill then they are worthless

[turbid dock]

brother

you got robbed out of one (1) kill

by a rounding error

you will not die irl

the world will not explode

[late walrus]

worthless because you didnt 1 tap someone with a knuckle knife

lmao

[astral moss]

Are we sure he didn't just miss ?
Just to be sure.

[wintry tide]

i have been robbed out of multiple kills from this. it's all bullshit i should of gotten the kill

[late walrus]

hunt players will cry about every non issue before they actually find a problem to complain about

[turbid dock]

it was this classic

[astral moss]

Lol "multiple kill" is a bit too much to say.

[late walrus]

well maybe stop trying to knuckle knife people

[turbid dock]

Nono, keep trying to knuckle knife people

just be aware that this bug exists

and aim for the head

[haughty sky]

no basically crytek should impliment a feature where a boot pops out from under your opponent's desk and kicks them in the nads if they kill you

[astral moss]

Yeah then he hit the torso, the damage recap isn't always right too.

[turbid dock]

this is a known bug

torso to head drag

[wintry tide]

i did i aimed for the head i jumped and hit them

[astral moss]

Yeah then he hit the torso and its a damage recap bug ?

[turbid dock]

yes yes its bs and cringe and bad, but sadly we can't invent a time machine to go back and get the kill. Just be aware that this bug is a thing in the future

[turbid dock]

no

that doesnt deal 149

[wintry tide]

so why is this a known bug and not been fixed ages ago?

[late walrus]

knuckle knifing people by dragging from chest to head wouldnt be a very high priority

[turbid dock]

you could travel back in time and fix it if you want

[opal dawn]

Mostly cuz 99% of melee tools have been supplanted by spear + pennyringer anyways

[astral moss]

I didn't know you could move the hitbox to hit 2 body part.

[errant hamlet]

Players be aware of ikarnie 100% cheater report when possible

[turbid dock]

#hunt-general message

[mortal nebula]

yeah, its kinda sad how melee tool is always 1 of 2 choices

[wintry tide]

if it were a hitbox drag it would of been from the head to torso.

[astral moss]

Another false hackusation too.

We are lucky today.

[turbid dock]

And it was.

[wintry tide]

wow no naming and shaming they ban you for calling cheaters out careful

[mortal nebula]

1. dont name and shame
2. they're probably just a KD farmer not a cheater

[wintry tide]

lmao you people make me sick

[errant hamlet]

Seriously lets start banning IP addresses as well

[mortal nebula]

if someone dedicated their existence to getting 1 kill a game then leaving you could have whatever kdr you want

[astral moss]

4.0 + KD = cheater is crazy, he got 4k headshot guys.

[turbid dock]

why's that?

[sacred meteor]

EXCEPT THEY ARE CLEARING THE LOBBY

[mortal nebula]

also impossible to judge if someone is cheating based on stats

[turbid dock]

There's a report button in-game

use it

[wintry tide]

cheating is insanely common in this game and you all constantly doubt it

[astral moss]

No clip ofc.

[astral moss]

Maybe cause its not ?

[haughty sky]

can we go back to talking about politics

[mortal nebula]

if they genuinely did something strange (like wallbangs with bleed or incin) or 500m+ shots, those are the only 100% ways to tell someone is cheating

[astral moss]

People that think there is a cheater epidemy in hunt are having some skill issue.

[wintry tide]

you're stupid or a cheater if you think it's not\

[astral moss]

#hunt-general message

[wintry tide]

i'm a 6* it's not a skill issue

[mortal nebula]

i mean, there are cheaters in hunt, but i dont think its as blown out of proportion as most people think it is

[errant hamlet]

If anyone has over 2000 hours and a 4.0 thats bogus your paired by MMR your stats would be adjusted

[fathom shale]

Time to move on from this conversation if it's unable to be kept respectful

[astral moss]

There is good player that consistently hit head shot if you don't know.

[mortal nebula]

nobody is saying you have a skill issue dawg

[astral moss]

I am also high 6* and i can tell those guys have some skill issue.

[mortal nebula]

but you cant just say "Omg, 4kd hes a cheater"

[late walrus]

purgatory

[haughty sky]

why does hunt in particular do this to people lol
