[opal dawn]

Oh my, where is Drag when you need him

[whole furnace]

Huh, just realize something with the new trailer.
Which in turn might be an issue down the line.

[upbeat lark]

she is nice

[whole furnace]

So we are getting new avatars with the Hunters, cool!
Issue is just that it is the new recolors.

[frigid ibex]

No bully

[whole furnace]

So eventually we gonna have people getting an avatar for "my hunter" and it is not gonna match the one they are using.

[spark plaza]

ok omw

[opal dawn]

🙏

[wooden ember]

I need a Ghostface one 💔

[cursive magnet]

playing w randoms on eu hurts

half the time im being shouted at by an angry russian

[wooden ember]

Either that or german

lmao

[frigid ibex]

I always meet Germans

[cursive magnet]

me: places trap, talks about it and pings it
dude: walks into it, rages in russian
me: told you
dude: runs into it again and proceeds to attempt to kill me

[wooden ember]

HAHAHA

[frigid ibex]

Fair though, trap players are

[cursive magnet]

dont blame me, got challenges to do

[frigid ibex]

Cringe challenges

[cursive magnet]

i also live for that rare moment someone steps into a red barrel trap

its just mmmmmm

[wooden ember]

Sometimes I feel bad for our random 3rd bc me and my duo loves to just run and shoot kek

[frigid ibex]

Shouldve been consumables too

Not just traps

[cursive magnet]

WHY IS DEATH CHEAT SO COMMON

[frigid ibex]

I hope they don't repeat it again

[cursive magnet]

i dont complain its my fifth prestige thanks to it this week but wtf

[opal dawn]

OH WOOOOW look at mr bragadocious over here

What am I to dooo with all this money!?

[cursive magnet]

wdym money

[dense girder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wmbWfWe6APqtPW81Wx

[cursive magnet]

theres money in hunt?

[opal dawn]

I keep finding good things! I am so tired of it!

[whole furnace]

As much as I hate what that skin stands for, yes, every Hunter should have at least one avatar.
Yes AT LEAST, the standard is that low.

[frigid ibex]

He's the disappointed fridge guy gif but it's death cheat

[cursive magnet]

death cheat being so prominent is awful

[opal dawn]

Yea, wish I could say the same pal

Share with the rest of us huh

[upbeat lark]

playing with the chinese hurts man

[cursive magnet]

just hold E while going through compounds

[upbeat lark]

every time i made a mistake they sighs

it make me feel like ive dissapointed my ancestral roots

[frigid ibex]

Sigh

[opal dawn]

Holds 'E', finds gator legs

[frigid ibex]

Its only good for refunding after extract

[whole furnace]

Making traits visible in dark sight was the change of all time for sure

[frigid ibex]

I had to lock in at work, like 8 hours ago people started a discussion where they thought surefoot and physician wasn't a must pick

[opal dawn]

Ye, but gimme doctor instead! I'm not asking for much! Or maybe a smidge of death cheat, I'm not picky!

[frigid ibex]

I missed out on getting rage baited

I still think about missing it

[wooden ember]

Yeahh I bought ghostface dlc on release but now if I think abt it an avatar card is rly missing imo

[upbeat lark]

i think i was there

[frigid ibex]

Were you going to rage bait me

[upbeat lark]

nop

[frigid ibex]

Hmm

[upbeat lark]

i mean i took surefoot as my first pick if not the second

[opal dawn]

Thought I had remedy when I started seeing traits, then realized it was just the way it is now

[whole furnace]

Also

Hold on

What are those?!

[opal dawn]

Let me see cash registers in dark sight too damn it

[frigid ibex]

Should be obvious

[upbeat lark]

looks like a weird yin and yang

[frigid ibex]

1, 3, 1

[upbeat lark]

or a weird infinity

[opal dawn]

Ain't those pledge marks?

[late walrus]

no

[whole furnace]

It is part of the new story challenges

[upbeat lark]

[empty eagle]

COMPLETE CHALLENGES, EARN SIGILS

smh reading

[light sky]

reading is overrated

[empty eagle]

UNLOCK REWARDS

[whole furnace]

It was a set up for a jooooooke!

[empty eagle]

SMH mcCree

[cursive magnet]

what the heck are sigils now

[empty eagle]

lol

you dont have to unlock in order

[whole furnace]

Don't worry about it kitten

[cursive magnet]

uwu

[empty eagle]

unlock what you want in whatever order you wantr

i think its the response to people whining about having to do specific challenges to get unlocks

now you can avoid those... unless oyu wanna unlock everything i assume

[raven totem]

I mean trait spurs where kinda refactored this update

[strange parrot]

How to get the hunter for donation on ps5?

[viscid mauve]

Do ingame codes on ps5 exist?

Then with this way

[cursive magnet]

oh noo, i have to do something for a skin for once

[viscid mauve]

Otherwise just buy it in the store

[whole furnace]

Feel like it is two different valves.
Don't understand how "traits is now on a timer when used" is collating to "Traits are now visible in dark sight".

[zinc rose]

Anyone able to get a steam code for planet play? My buddy & I both got Xbox codes without an option to make it a steam code.

[raven totem]

they're visible in darksight, because they're on a timer when used....

[viscid mauve]

Its neither XBOX or Steam. You redeem it in the game

[zinc rose]

I love you

[viscid mauve]

No worries ^^

[opal dawn]

There are codes, but there are no codes active right now

[whole furnace]

Sure if they were only visible in dark sight WHEN used and on the timer I would get it.
But rn they are just visible no matter what.

[frigid ibex]

I had no clue planetplay was something new -> general announcement but I had a feeling where to look

[viscid mauve]

I would assume they also work on PS5. They are ingame codes

So probably for every platform

[opal dawn]

Yes, they do work the same

[strange parrot]

Yea they exist

[viscid mauve]

So the code is for that

Just put it in the ingame code and easy skin

[cursive magnet]

Is it just the hunter or more

[viscid mauve]

Just the hunter

[cursive magnet]

lame

[whole furnace]

Ah yes, lame to donate to charity and not getting 20 dollars worth of skins

[cursive magnet]

a single hunter wont be 20 bucks

[opal dawn]

That's kinda how charities work Ghost

You don't get much in return, you give

[cursive magnet]

how is it "skins" when its just one hunter

[late walrus]

isnt 5$ for one hunter like. pretty reasonable

[frigid ibex]

Do we have to explain to hunt community how charity works

[late walrus]

like $8 or something in aud

i feel like thats a fair price

[jaunty patio]

It's more or less half-off the usual price

[frigid ibex]

What is this

[late walrus]

how are we mad about a $5 hunter

[cursive magnet]

im perfectly fine with it, just dont like the hunter. im confused where skinS comes from and the 20 dollars

[whole furnace]

You are getting caught up in the wrong thing and missing the point lmao

[opal dawn]

For charity 😭

[tidal haven]

For charity too

[cursive magnet]

read again

[opal dawn]

[late walrus]

tbh i dont really factor in the charity part i just saw hunter for $5 and thats a reasonable price

[whole furnace]

It was you asking if there were more skinS

[cursive magnet]

and you were saying we're donating 5 bucks for 20 bucks worth of skins

[late walrus]

reasonable price for a skin alot of people seem to like

[whole furnace]

Sarcasm lmao

[late walrus]

not what they said

[whole furnace]

Jesus

[cursive magnet]

whatever

i have actually misread, should probably not participate in discord mid-fight lmao

[whole furnace]

All good

[opal dawn]

It's fiiiine, this is why i love the internet

[cursive magnet]

for dumb people saying dumb shit?

[opal dawn]

as a member of this club, yes!

[still totem]

I already have Sunshine but happy to donate

I’m team rainforest because the ocean scares me

[opal dawn]

We kinda need both

So just let the kraken nibble on you, it's for a good cause

[still totem]

NO

[frigid ibex]

Think ocean is in big trouble

So I'll consume more fish to help

[cursive magnet]

i feel the urge to dive down the ocean in a makeshift sub using a 15€ controller

[opal dawn]

This is Big Rainforest propaganda

[still totem]

There could be giant spiders in the rain forest

I’d rather fight a giant spider than The Kraken

[frigid ibex]

Is Australia or rainforest more dangerous

[opal dawn]

Hell no i'd skinny dip with cthulhu than face giant spiders

[still totem]

On land I have more control than being in water where your move speed is nerfed by half

Plus you can’t use a flamethrower under water

[opal dawn]

Fair points, I was thinking of a faraday cage + a tesla gun but hmmm...

[open flax]

bruh

Australia is fine

[still totem]

That’s exactly what a monster living in Australia would say

[open flax]

what is this slander

[opal dawn]

Typical drop bear behavior

[frigid ibex]

Sounds like propaganda

[open flax]

[cursive magnet]

jesus christ i have reached the depths of 6*s i do NOT want to be in

even the random modifier which is supposed to make it easier is rough

[still totem]

I dropped out of 6* recently and honestly, I’m not mad about it

I’m happy to stay 5*

[cursive magnet]

im fucking hard stuck in it for 3 years now

[open flax]

stop the Aus hate we dont live with the giant spiders

[still totem]

You literally have Huntsman spiders all over the place

I have seen the videos

[tight locust]

I'm 3 star that only gets in 5* lobbies for some reason so I don't really play, just get head shot when approaching the compound, then on to the next game 🙂

[frigid ibex]

You've had a war against your wildlife

[open flax]

[frigid ibex]

Nothing can compare with Australia

[opal dawn]

I was there gandalf, I fought the emus!

[open flax]

we apparently lost too

🤡

[frigid ibex]

Its that bad, you should stay safe

Fight spiders with fire

[open flax]

id get arrested

[left orbit]

guess who looted 1000HD and used chariot against the team being chased by another solo

[still totem]

It’s only illegal if you get caught

[open flax]

-_-

tru

[open flax]

calm down ive only seen like 1 big spider ever

[still totem]

That doesn’t mean they aren’t there

They are watching

Waiting

[open flax]

just dont live in the middle of nowhere

[frigid ibex]

Like south new wales

[open flax]

dont u guys have grizzly bears

[open flax]

where tf is that

[frigid ibex]

We have brown bears

[frigid ibex]

East side of Australia

[opal dawn]

Brown bears in every alleyway and neighborhood! They're a menace!

[open flax]

its new south wales

and they have the smol ones that kinda kill u

[still totem]

How do you get “kinda” killed, is that like half death

Like getting knocked

[open flax]

u either die or u dont

[frigid ibex]

I have 2 friends that lives in south wales new

[opal dawn]

It's dying but u get better from it

[frigid ibex]

You can get revived like in hunt

[green surge]

@jaunty patio nice trade lmao

[jaunty patio]

I was out of all my ammo and just had to wing it 😂

[green surge]

I saw 🥲

[flint fog]

how?

[tall canopy]

how what

[flint fog]

dude was killed by my teammate in long distance fights 3 times, he still got away

did they change necro?

[tall canopy]

well guess their teammates revived them

[flint fog]

solo

[tame magnet]

Cuddle me like a bear

[tall canopy]

its possible to get necro back with the catalyst card

[flint fog]

so he had 4 catalyst cards with him, lol

[tall canopy]

maybe

[opal dawn]

What intervals did you kill this person in?

[thin anchor]

if with those 3 kills he stayed dead, 1 empress card does it

[flint fog]

twice in one push, we killed him, pushed the body, he revived and ran again

and got killed 10 secs later

[opal dawn]

Only need a few sec to pop an empress card

[flint fog]

i didnt play for some time, this irritated me so much

[dreamy cave]

Thats where I live

[light sky]

Empress Card as solo is pretty common

[light sky]

I can do it better

[flint fog]

good to know, i have to pay more attention. we thought he was dead for good, just hopped back into the game after a years break

[terse wasp]

Anyone having issues with the game not tracking your mouse when trying to aim?

[wooden ember]

no

[terse wasp]

My buddy can't turn. LOL.

Super weird.

[wooden ember]

yeahh never heard abt that

[solid mantle]

yes i had that lower you heart rate

[whole furnace]

Have they by any chance set their mouse sentitive when ADSing to laughable low?

[terse wasp]

That was the first thing he checked. LOL

[solid mantle]

playing on 0.5ish since years

[empty eagle]

In what way?

[whole furnace]

It is only when ADSing?

[terse wasp]

SOLVED IT.

He had two mice plugged in. LOL

[empty eagle]

lol

[solid mantle]

can anyoen tell me wtf is going on with all these disconnects?!

[whole furnace]

nop

[cursive magnet]

region lock

[solid mantle]

i hope there is going to be aregion lock 🤡

[whole furnace]

There wont

Pretty sure that is clear after all these years and with the statements Crytek have given

[solid mantle]

ofc not we will have eurussia for ever

[whole furnace]

Which is fine imo.
Region lock is small brain talk.
Ping limit is the bigger brain talk

[empty eagle]

Wild how that's always the issue when anyone living on the west end of russia gets normal ping to EU

[solid mantle]

i have no problem with not having region lock ! BUT i have a problem with playing only with russians who only can speak russian in a teambased extraction shooter...

[whole furnace]

You cannot really fault people for not speaking a specific language

[tame magnet]

Dizz ban this guy

[whole furnace]

They could be mute for all you care

[empty eagle]

Are you playing randoms?

[solid mantle]

well they have an entire server ....

[whole furnace]

And I'm sure they play on that too.

[empty eagle]

so? I play EU all the time with friends

[solid mantle]

yes like 90% of all players?

[empty eagle]

Then try the lfg here

also lol wut

[whole furnace]

Again, rather just lower the ping limit to 150, than having region lock on the table

I mean ideally it would be 100, but that is unrealistic, would be happy for a limit around 120-130 tho

[cursive magnet]

russians are giga annoying but i just hid other player names and now i don't care

[whole furnace]

I mean, most people online are such.

National agnostic trait

[solid mantle]

in hunt most russians are quite toxic.... jsut had a russian who attacked me all the time and the other russian in my team extracted with the bountys alone yay . not every russian but everytime a russian . never had any problems with other players 🙁

[cursive magnet]

some cultures are just different

[solid mantle]

well enough of that its not adding to the topic

[cursive magnet]

and the russian culture is just, easily angered

[solid mantle]

like i said i had 3 matches and 3 times one of my teammates dissconected on start of the round , and last round i had 2 disconnects

[light sky]

wow

[whole furnace]

Again there are challenges to it.
But still region lock wouldn't fix anything.
It is something not even riot games could fix with region lock.

[empty eagle]

The bigger issue is that some regions of the world have over 150 ping. which is why they pulled the region lock they did have

[solid mantle]

not entirely agree with that , why are they playing eu in the first place when rus is literally like 1-4ms short

[cursive magnet]

because asia is invading their servers

so they invade eu

and eu invades us east because of it

never ending circle

[whole furnace]

Bc EU is the server that is populated

[gusty onyx]

Whenever i play with randoms russians are most of the time the most chilled guys to play with

[cursive magnet]

lmao

good one

on another note why is the bow STILL so damn overpowered

hunt is a taketh kind of day today so i pulled it out and now it giveth

[gusty onyx]

Yeah see, thats a reason lol. Germans are way more toxic to everyone else, but flame everbody else

[tacit venture]

yooo does anyone know if you can get a permanent ban for your nickname in hunt showdown????

[cursive magnet]

german hunters are almost as bad tbh

[tall canopy]

since you can report players for their name via the ingame report, crytek could take actions against that i guess

[solid mantle]

was junge?!

stress?

😄

[gusty onyx]

As a german guy myself i think germans are way worse as randoms than russians

[turbid dock]

I don't really think it is

[gusty onyx]

For sure, there are always exceptions

[turbid dock]

It's situationally really strong

[tacit venture]

my friend got banned for his nickname once a week and now it's probably permanent for the second time and that's why I want to find out

[turbid dock]

But since it's so situational, it's very easy to play against a bow

[empty eagle]

yeah

[turbid dock]

(if you know what you're doing)

[cursive magnet]

depends. the one shot firerate is nuts

[tall canopy]

could be. only the customer support can help with bans tho

[wary flower]

If you just treat the bow like a shotgun that has no pen then its piss easy to deal with

Dont be on kissing distance and use cover and you'll be good

[whole furnace]

Let that be a valuable lesson for your friend.
Don't be fucking awful online

[turbid dock]

It is, but it is actively making the bow user nearly immobile while they're drawing arrows, so if you're letting them take shot after shot after shot, you're positioning just the way the bow user wants you to

(unless you're like 3m away and they're spamming no charge arrows, at which point, how did you even get there lmfao)

[turbid dock]

And if you need to be in kissing distance, the bow user will always be holding an angle, so just jump peek them

Bait the arrow

[wary flower]

Ye that

You only really die to bow if you charge him like a bot

[turbid dock]

Because not only does the bow have a slow travel time, it also has a release delay

Baiting with a jump peek is giga effective

[cursive magnet]

i don't understand the mobility point, you can move just as good

[whole furnace]

Yeah

The movement penalty is up played like crazy

[cursive magnet]

there's definitely some penalty to it but it's so miniscule

[turbid dock]

It's mostly the sprinting

[cursive magnet]

obviously

[whole furnace]

By the popularity of the bow alone, it should be an indicator that the downside is not holding it back at all akin to the nitro's sights.

[turbid dock]

You can sprint while drawing an arrow from the quiver, but not while pulling the string back, and at that point the bow user is much less mobile than someone who doesn't have a speed penalty and can sprint

[turbid dock]

It's definitely better than the nitro

It's a strong weapon

[cursive magnet]

much less is heavily exaggerated

you don't panic sprint between every bolting you do on rifles

[turbid dock]

But it's situationally strong, it has lots of obvious counterplay

[cursive magnet]

its one of the strongest weapons in hunt and costs nothing

and has free dumdum, too

[wary flower]

3* take lmao

[turbid dock]

You're right, i do a controlled sprint every time i cycle

[cursive magnet]

imagine insulting using stars

[wary flower]

I'm not even insulting you, its just true

[cursive magnet]

then elaborate on it

because my lobbies have a very, very high chance of a bow or more

[whole furnace]

Clearly not obvious since it is a all star pick.
Like literally, you see the bow in all stars

[wary flower]

You gotta have not played on the higher ranks to say somethibg like this

[cursive magnet]

and i've been stuck in 6* for like 3 years now

[wary flower]

The bow is not even close to being one of the strongest weapons in the game

[left orbit]

trio wipe: sparks - hammer - quad derringer

[wary flower]

Literally every shotgun but maybe Rival is better than it

[cursive magnet]

Feel free to disagree, even if you're wrong.

Where's the shotgun one tapping people at 35m

[turbid dock]

It's probably more obvious to me because I've played a decent bit of bow back in the day, whenever i go against a bow i respect them and know that if i play into their hand they'll destroy me no problem, but just a little bit of counterplay leaves them with their pants down

[wary flower]

Its like saying Sparks is the best rifle because it deals the most amount of damage

[cursive magnet]

people who call the bow not problematic probably can't even play it

[turbid dock]

One dynamite, one jump peek, or one fence, that's all it takes

The bow user crumbles

[whole furnace]

Dunno, the counter play is to bait the shot?
But like... the closer you are the less they need to draw to a kill shot.
So that doesn't hold water.

[wary flower]

I play the bow, its good but REALLY situational, and hitting anything above 15m takes skill

[cursive magnet]

insane take

[turbid dock]

Baiting is specifically the counter to use when they're holding an angle that you want to peek

It's not the universal counter

[whole furnace]

#hunt-general message
Like

[cursive magnet]

i wonder how you bait a shot out of one of the fastest weapons in hunt

[whole furnace]

Exactly

[turbid dock]

These dummies are positioned in the ideal situation for the bow

[whole furnace]

What?

[cursive magnet]

youre saying players cannot be at that range, ever?

[turbid dock]

Can you guys work with me for a second

[wary flower]

Now record a clip doing this with a specter and say its the best weapon in the game

[turbid dock]

Please this is annoying

[cursive magnet]

(tbh dummies should have their arms at a lifted position like hunters)

[turbid dock]

I don't like having to fight to be understood

[whole furnace]

That is missing the point of the convo lmao

[wary flower]

No its not, its exactly what you're doing

[cursive magnet]

comparing bows to shotguns is certainly a decision

[whole furnace]

I get that, but like, just painting the picture of "baiting the shot" doesn't really work on the bow because it is easy to re-fire

And still be a kill shot

[turbid dock]

It gives you a good enough window to get a shot fired of your own, with a weapon of your choice (just not another bow)

[whole furnace]

So like... any other weapon in the game?

So the bows downside is like any other gun

[turbid dock]

Yeah, its just much stronger against the bow than any other weapon

Because of the release delay

[wary flower]

This

[whole furnace]

Romero cannot reload faster than that, pretty sure the specter/slate is slower to cycle than that.

Rival can 2-tap, but rival

[cursive magnet]

there must be something to the bow since it's honestly the weapon i perform the best with, even on hunt taketh kind of days

its broken as hell imho

[wary flower]

Doing what the clip is showing in an actual fight is incredibly unreliable

[cursive magnet]

but it's also insanely accurate

i killed two people exactly like that a couple rounds ago

[whole furnace]

Still doesn't negate the fact it can happen

[lapis urchin]

I never take the knife anymore, just doesn't make sense with the loadouts I'm running. I'm always better off with dusters for the odd immo. Anyone else finding a reason to take it besides the sweet skins?

[wary flower]

If they are right next to you, yeah? Thays a situation where it should be strong, and how the weapon is designed

[turbid dock]

Same thing with throwing dynamite or other util, it's way stronger against corner holding bows than it is against any shotgun user, because if a bow user is forced to reposition with any urgency at all, you're forcing them to undraw their bow string

[whole furnace]

And still doesn't negate the fact that it proves thet arguement "but bow takes long to re-fire if baited" ain't true.

[cursive magnet]

Thing is, it works exactly like that up to like 40 meters, too

[wary flower]

If you do this while the person is further you'll miss everything, and even a few arrows if they're standing still

[wary flower]

Delusional

[wooden ember]

Not rly no

[cursive magnet]

Drop range is 30m, highest damage is 250, plus even more with Hundred Hands

It even arm one shots above 30m

[whole furnace]

Sure, but like... you cannot really utilize that if you have primed a dynamite in your hand.
So you more or less just resetting the camp.

And yes

Bow cannot do like shotguns and run at you

[wary flower]

I challenge you to kill someone at 30-40 meters while hipfiring with a bow in an actual match

[whole furnace]

That is a downside

[cursive magnet]

There's also absolutely zero reason to use a crossbow over a regular bow

[gusty onyx]

The hit or miss argunemt is cap. I mean if you really good you probably hit crazy shots with everything. If your aim sucks u wont hit shit with anything ether

[turbid dock]

I have lots of more helpful tips for dealing with bows if people want that but i just woke up and really don't have the energy to first help someone counter the bow in order to convince them the bow isn't actually OP

That's too exhausting for me rn

[cursive magnet]

Why the hell would you hipfire?

[wary flower]

Yes, exactly

[turbid dock]

You can actually peek with a crossbow, that's the big advantage

[whole furnace]

no need, because I see your arguements, still don't think it makes the bow balanced, the upsides STILL outweights the downsides.

[cursive magnet]

You can do the exact same with a bow?

[near oracle]

It is broken as

[turbid dock]

Slow mo footage of a shoulder slowly appearing around the corner

[wary flower]

I get what you mean with this but the only thing I could think of while reading it is "every gun should suck and be shit"

[cursive magnet]

slowly appearing? what stars are you in that people slow peek

[turbid dock]

The crossbow is just better at aggressive peeks and quick repositioning, bow is better at holding angles

[wary flower]

True

[terse wasp]

It's taken all of my willpower not to post "Will it?" in the bot catcher channel.

[whole furnace]

Just want the game to be balanced and reward skill.

[terse wasp]

[wary flower]

What I understood by the last bit is that you personally dislike it and would prefer if it was a bad weapon

[gusty onyx]

No matter what they change, it will never be balanced the way u would like it to be

[turbid dock]

It's definitely a strong weapon, i don't disagree with that

My overall "thesis" if you will though, is probably that the fact that the bow is really strong in certain situations means its probably perceived as overly strong by people who put themselves and their bow enemy into those exact situations too often

[whole furnace]

I just want it to be balanced :)
But it is okay, you allowed to like your crutch

[wary flower]

Sure man

[cursive magnet]

im contemplating if i should display the lvl 10 bow badge on my profile, on one hand it's a lvl 10 badge, on the other it's embarrasing as hell playing the bow

[lapis urchin]

If you're good with the bow, you'll learn how to play against the bow, and it's not an issue anymore. Bows aren't scary when you know they're there.

[gusty onyx]

Its just a weapon, play what makes fun

[native mountain]

There's a reason the bow is a 2 slot and the crossbow is a 3 slot

Its clearly better

[whole furnace]

Eh think it is evident in its pick rates across all levels of skill.
It is doing something that makes it overperforming :)

[cursive magnet]

yeah, the bow is better c:

[wooden ember]

make bow 4 slot

[gusty onyx]

I would play normal bow over crossbow anyday, but tbf I dont like ether of them

[wary flower]

For me its a weapon with a high skill ceiling, way easier to get angry at a crown or a slate for dying than a bow

[turbid dock]

My hypothesis is that It's a combination of two things!

1. yeah, it's strong
2. bow is kinda freaky and unusual to use, decent portion of players don't get into it, thus don't learn how to play aganst it, making it more effective

[wary flower]

At least the guy with a bow had to aim to oneshot me CQC

[turbid dock]

I think I've voiced that hypothesis here before even

[cursive magnet]

speaking slate, what speaks for it compared to the specter, other than bulletgrubber situation

[wary flower]

Sounds way cooler

[cursive magnet]

true

[gusty onyx]

Does anyone here really take bulletgrubber? I swear in 8 years of hunt i barely touched that trait lol

[native mountain]

It looks nicer too

[cursive magnet]

think on shotguns its worth it

[terse wasp]

Specterr literally fails me every time. Terminus pennyshot is more reliable. LOL

[native mountain]

I take it for the bornheim

[still totem]

I take it because I can’t grab the bullets to save my life

I’ve tried

I suck at it

[turbid dock]

Spectre is goofy, slate is cool. That's it

[terse wasp]

Cosign.

[still totem]

Tangent

[frigid ibex]

sounds like higher spread is your thing. So not precision spread shotguns

[gusty onyx]

Since they changed the cycle time between shots specter is damn good, only problem is that you can shoot faster than the animation looks like which is kinda confusing if you not used to it 😅

[terse wasp]

I'm honestly speaking in hyperbole. I just think it looks silly.

[frigid ibex]

It's clunky, miss when more guns were clunky and slow

[turbid dock]

Holding m1 to delay the cycle is so weird lol, it reveals how much of the cycle time is just waiting, and how little of it is the actual cycling anim

[frigid ibex]

making guns faster and faster for every year that goes by now

[turbid dock]

You can cycle and shoot in like 0.2-0.3 seconds

[hot dune]

Bow is my favorite weapon. Its so satisfying cracking headshots from like 30 meters

[dense girder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-monkey-neuron-activation-n6o5muKaBkYqP0eTUC

That sound

[cursive magnet]

whats more satisfying is 145ing them, watching them flee in panic and bleeding out

[distant furnace]

Aight guys thoughts on the Kit?

[upbeat lark]

god i hate clownpiece so much

oh fu wrong chat

[distant furnace]

This is deadass by the way, used to run this kit somewhat frequently

[cursive magnet]

they never expect the second sparks shot

[distant furnace]

Kinda wondering if I should run Poison or Fire or anything on em

[distant furnace]

And if they do, they certainly never expect the 3rd or 4th

[upbeat lark]

would be fun if we can put fire on the right and poison on the left

[cursive magnet]

since it's close quarters, poison so their visiblity is worse in darker areas

[distant furnace]

Not a bad idea, also stops em from being able to heal

[cursive magnet]

poison sparks is a meme in itself

bonus points if you got pain sense and then yeet a stalker beetle

[empty eagle]

pirae

[hollow coral]

One set with poison and the other with fmj and go for wallbangs with painsense

[empty eagle]

piraste

PIRATE

[cursive magnet]

bless you alpaca

[upbeat lark]

being a long ammo if they doesnt have an antidote effect theyll be poisoned for like 6seconds

[hollow coral]

15

[upbeat lark]

my goodness

[distant furnace]

Yea this is a kit I've had since the Sparks Pistol released, the loadout is called "YARRR"

[cursive magnet]

four shot boons ruin all that orgasm potential though

[wary flower]

The challenge is hitting anything but arm shots

[hollow coral]

Sparks dumdum when

[cursive magnet]

maynard on release be like

[hollow coral]

Basically

[wary flower]

1 hand sparks + explosive springy for the ultimate meme

[cursive magnet]

the hipfire more accurate than a shotgun, too

[cursive magnet]

big sparks and choke hand crossbow has a bigger range

[dense girder]

Do you listen to Pirates of the carribean theme song while playing it?

[hollow coral]

Sparks + Chokebolts is the king of memes

[upbeat lark]

i should try out a spark and explo uppercut loadout

[distant furnace]

Oddly enough my Meme Kits are the ones that I actually do well on. I have one called Lemao which is the Carbine and Pistol, with Fire ammo. I do really well with this kit

It's like a cheaper Drilling

[upbeat lark]

thats actually my go to spark loadout

spark fire and hand cross with one half fire and half choke

[cursive magnet]

choke bullets when

[whole furnace]

LeMat C is a great rifle

[distant furnace]

Usually I say "Quad sparks meta" before wiffing all four shots and getting my face blown off

[distant furnace]

It unironically is, it's genuinely one of my favorites

[cursive magnet]

also shoots faster than a normal lemat for some reason

[dense girder]

LematC gun shot sound is beautiful. Idk, it's sounds so elegant

[wary flower]

CarbMat with a sord is my pick for the casual meme budget loadout

[native root]

Do people usually keep their old hunt hunters that you can't get anymore

[upbeat lark]

lemat carbine is what i use if i wanna go budget

beside springfield with dumdum

[native root]

Cus I got rid of mine without knowing 😭

[distant furnace]

One of my favorite OG builds was the Bubble Darrel shotgun with a Machete

Wiff the first two shots and charge them blindly with the Chete

[cursive magnet]

i know a vanoss fan when i see one

[wary flower]

Yes lol

[native root]

Fahk

I had this girl with a black hood a rn cloak and this guy with a big straw hat with a red bandana

[distant furnace]

My ultimate budget build, for when I Prestige, or when I waste all my money running bougie kits, is called "Poverty" and it looks like this

[upbeat lark]

that is

practically a free loadout

[native root]

Question is there any point in stamina shots

[distant furnace]

Yes 100%, however I get to run this kit without running a Whiteshirt

[upbeat lark]

i mean like free hunter loadout

[dense girder]

Bottle of Booze definitely solidifies the "Poverty" Loadout

[distant furnace]

So that I can keep playing Deckhand, feeling the mud and broken glass between my bare tootsies

[native root]

He's a cool hunter

[upbeat lark]

mine is roughly the same but change the fire with a small stam and the romero with a spingfield one hald dumdum one half normal

[distant furnace]

Meleeing the boss used to be one of the best ways to kill em, I've never run it tho

[native root]

Okay was just wondering cus I see alot of YouTubers use them so idk if it's like a if you have the money take them along

[upbeat lark]

oh also the knife is a throwing knife '

[turbid dock]

Poison sparks is good, but Incendiary sparks is some really dangerous type shit because i forget I'm missing 5 hp

[distant furnace]

For me it's between him or Skinflint as my favorites

[upbeat lark]

i usually just rely on trying to find an inworld mele to kill bosses and heavy enemy

[distant furnace]

Yea it's nto a bad shot, it's good for infinite stam. I don't know if it effects running stamina or just melee tho. But it's great for kitting bosses without needing to take along a Sticky

[native root]

I have the uh lady marshal with the eye patch idk when I bought her but I think it was at the start of the game and she was like dirty cheap

[turbid dock]

Stamina addicts say its for convenience, i say they're addicted

[distant furnace]

And since Tool Boxes are pretty common it's easily replaceable

Shout out to when Antidote Shots lasted a full hour

Now they're like 10 minutes right?

[turbid dock]

4 and 7 like everything else i believe

[distant furnace]

They got nerfed so often, don't blame em for doing it, they made Poison absolutely useless, but it certainly ruined the ritual my Duo and I had of injecting eachother at the start of the match

Went from like 50 minutes, to 20, then it's at whatever it's at now

Tbh now I just take Mithridatist

[turbid dock]

I legit never take defensive traits

Bloodless, salveskin, don't care

They're all bait traits, I'm telling you

[upbeat lark]

i dont think i remember the last time i actively pick defensive traits

[distant furnace]

Bulwark, Bloodless, and Salveskin are necessary imo

Hornskin is basically useless

[cursive magnet]

slaveskin

[distant furnace]

An honest typo

[cursive magnet]

i think all of those are not really needed as first picks

[upbeat lark]

its nice to have but i wont really say its a must have

[civic tundra]

yo what is this match making? how is it fair to have 2 teams in a lobby 1v3 when they have equal or higher mmr 😭 they all had better kits then me too

[distant furnace]

Nah they're not my first picks, but they're def my 2nd. My first pic is usually Salveskin, Necro, and Resiliance when I'm with my duo. I tend to drop Necro for whatever Weapon Related perk I might need however

[turbid dock]

Bulwark is certified, legitimately useless, not even a meme

I would run bloodless if i had more slots but there are too many important traits to pick

[distant furnace]

I run into too many frag spammers for me to think it's not worth taking tbh

50% reduction is really solid

[cursive magnet]

bulwark does not work against frags

frags are shrapnel, not explosive

[turbid dock]

Bloodless once again

[distant furnace]

Oh it doesnt? Figured it didn't effect the bleed but the actual AOE damage

[turbid dock]

Let me check rq

[upbeat lark]

frag count as rending damage doesnt it

[cursive magnet]

yeah it all just explodes into shrapnel, also why it goes through walls

the actual explosion radius is tiiiiny

[upbeat lark]

the sharpnels phase trough solid onjects

[turbid dock]

I wanted to find that one explosive damage / range calculator site but i have no idea where it us

[fathom shale]

There is no actual shrapnel though fyi, it's faked

It's still just a sphere radius that applies bleed

[upbeat lark]

the molecule of the sharpnels just coicindentally alighn with the molecule of the walls and it phase trough

[cursive magnet]

yeah, but that's way harder to explain

[turbid dock]

I think like normal explosives it just does a bit of a semi-comprehensive line of sight check that potentially might fail because of weird geometry

[cursive magnet]

explosions going through walls are inconsistent as hell though. you can try in the shooting range, with two dynamite sticks. throw one outside of a toilet and hide inside. the one time it will kill you, the second time it won't deal any damage

[distant furnace]

Does it not actually count as Explosive Damage tho? Figured it was a two phase damage kinda thing, sphere of explosion and sphere of bleed

[fathom shale]

Just rending damage

[cursive magnet]

regarding challenges it does count as explosives

[distant furnace]

It's been like that forever, frag spamming used to be way worse tho

[cursive magnet]

but its technically not one

its a ball of rending damage

[turbid dock]

Dealing rending damage to my pizza rn

[distant furnace]

Ahh so Bulwark has zero effect on Frags?

Just like Barrels and Dynamite?

[cursive magnet]

Yup

[distant furnace]

Damn that sucks

[turbid dock]

And explosive ammo if you're weird

[cursive magnet]

dark dynamite my beloved

even on attack it's so damn strong

[upbeat lark]

should be effective enough on small dynamite

[turbid dock]

The amount it reduces the kill range by is very small

[upbeat lark]

i tried to use this in my plays but my teamate just keep exploding it prematurely

[dreamy cave]

Since yall are talking about shrapnel going through walls. Check this bs out lol

[upbeat lark]

just a small papercut

[distant furnace]

Explosive Ammo seems like it's a mix between meme and effective. Like the AOE would be good for setting off barrels, oil slicks, etc. but at the same time the ammo itself feels insanely underpowered

Excluding the Crossbow Bolt

[dreamy cave]

Lol tiny cut just out of range ig

[distant furnace]

Which used to be fuckin insane

[upbeat lark]

still bs tho

guess the shaprnels just home in at you trough the wall and roof like a heat seeking mini missiles

[distant furnace]

Is Dark Dynamite just placeable dynamite? My friend and I were wondering about, and I only just earlier saw it used and it seemed like he shot past me and it exploded then

[upbeat lark]

placable big dynamite

[cursive magnet]

basically a remote detonated big dynamite bundle

[upbeat lark]

big is the keyword

it deal so much damage

[distant furnace]

Is it remote detonated or does it need to be shot?

Is it like a Darksight thing?

[whole furnace]

You can do the same with incendiary rounds and still maintain damage + MV.

[upbeat lark]

both

you can detonate it with bullets or remotely by darksight

[distant furnace]

MV? Yea but don't the Explosive Rounds have a bigger AOE?

[upbeat lark]

can even do some ratty thing like placing 3 on a compound get away and thhen use a beetle to dettonate them from far away

[cursive magnet]

hold e and you can LMB it for a second to make it explode

quite long range, too

can be shot or detonated by any other means

even tripwires

[cursive magnet]

Ahh, the AC-130

We placed 9 across the Fool's Hideout once and beetled it

Insanely fun lol

[severe grail]

guys how ppl its on lobby casual?

[upbeat lark]

my god

[severe grail]

like 9-10?

[cursive magnet]

what do you mean

[distant furnace]

12 players max per match

Unless they've changed it

[cursive magnet]

lmaooo someone just died to my alert tripwire while i was spectating after getting wiped

[whole furnace]

Muzzle velocity :)

[cursive magnet]

gotta love it

[astral moss]

[upbeat lark]

what is this for

[distant furnace]

Will say, for the lil profile background thing it kinda sucks that you don't automatically unlock them for hunters you own. Had to buy the Skinflint one despite owning skinflint since his drop

[upbeat lark]

actually nvm

[full jungle]

I chickened out

[distant furnace]

Ngl playing with Randos is kinda mid now, nobody wants to talk

umm the sunshine code is only for xbox? why? i just donated and i play on steam.

[upbeat lark]

just expect everyone to speak mandarin

[turbid dock]

Hmm, where are you getting xbox from?

I'm assuming you have a code, and it doesnt work on steam, but what makes you say its for xbox?

[crimson marten]

I figured it out, its an ingame code. But on the website there is an xbox logo, and besides the code when i copy it.

a bit misleading

[turbid dock]

ah i see

[turbid dock]

yeah i see what you mean, there's an xbox symbol on it lol

[upbeat lark]

I wonder if that'll be a permanent thing

[undone sail]

not really but sorry that happened to you

[cursive magnet]

So they actually forgot about the fools hideout compound

great

Poor fool and judge

[turbid dock]

Ok this is kinda nice, a legacy chronicle is essentially a battlepass without a time limit with re-skinned old event content

i like it

[turbid dock]

good format for reintroducing things players have missed

[hybrid owl]

was really hoping for people who have some items from that event that itd be free

i didnt manage to get the bow skin and the girl hunter

[jolly parcel]

the real important question is

how will this affect clash

[timber cosmos]

People need to stop bringing necro if they ain't gonna use it bruh

[raven totem]

perhaps if I yell at the clouds enough god will listen.

though on the flip side, I bet if you plug your mix in and say, rez me, they will.

[hot karma]

was really hoping for region lock so this ping abuse gets fixed

oh well I'll just be the problem until it is

[raven totem]

you're on na east lol

[crystal bay]

The only people who get abused by high ping is the people with high ping

So I guess if you want to have a more miserable experience to "abuse" then it is your perogative

[raven totem]

I swung a dude with slugs and he bitched be out on my profile for being ping abusing scum. I'm from MI dude...

[hot karma]

its crazy how people completely deny how bad the ping abuse is, Crytek themselves recognize it as a problem hahaha

[crystal bay]

They recognize that a lot of people complain about it

[jolly parcel]

i changed my steam location to china and my ping abuse comments skyrocketed

[raven totem]

I bet

[crystal bay]

What advantage does high ping give you?

[turbid dock]

thats hilarious actually

good science experiment

[crystal bay]

Aside from killing AI being delayed so you get hit, killing hunters being delayed so you are more likely to trade when you would have killed them and survived

and overall having a more miserable experience

[turbid dock]

dies
checks profile looking for something to blame
china
"yep, it was ping abuse, only reason i died"

[proud sand]

im so tired of these bows croucing all the gaaaaame

[mortal cove]

They do? Where?

[distant furnace]

They really need to make it so that you can still purchase and equip a loadout if you don't everything on it, like just exclude the stuff I don't own

[mortal cove]

I'd actually be interested to know

[jolly parcel]

sounds like EU problems

[proud sand]

idk but there are so many of them

killed one and then i got other 2

they are like cockroaches

[wooden ember]

yeah lots of bows lately

[jolly parcel]

our bow users are dumb as a bag of rocks. i've killed multiple in solo clash matches who like to sit in a corner and dont realize their coats phase through the wall

Ping Abuse and Region-Based Limitations

We have noticed that cheating reports go hand in hand with reports about ping abusers, so we would like to give you an update on this topic as well.

Ping-based limitations are something we are committed to addressing. Right now, we are in the process of tackling substantial technical obstacles in the implementation of this system. The simple truth is, this feature was announced too early, when the very first experiments went live, and we had underestimated the complexity of the topic significantly. The system was not fit for purpose, and that is why it had to go back to the drawing board.

We know how important this feature is to the community, and it remains a priority. We should hopefully have an update for you soon.

[hot karma]

fairplay task force update

ping ABUSE. Its so bad cheating reports go hand in hand with ping abusers

[crystal bay]

"We know how important this feature is to the community"

Seems moreso like they address it because a lot of people complain about it

[hot karma]

I wonder why they complain about it?

[tidal haven]

People report "Ping abusers" as cheaters is what that reads like

[hot karma]

hmmmmm

[crystal bay]

Because a lot of people like to blame their loss on everything but their own fault

It happens in video games a lot

I can understand it

Just is unfortunate that it does

[hot karma]

like dying behind corners

[crystal bay]

The alternative is you die out in the open not behind cover

Because either way you die

It's just you die a lil later and can be easily revived

[hot karma]

at least I'd know what is going on

[tidal haven]

You would have died out in the open regardless

[hot karma]

and have a fair shot

[crystal bay]

You do

[hot karma]

how many hours do you have out of curiosity?

[indigo hemlock]

you get suspended in this server for suggesting people deliberately ping abuse or cheat from certain regions so its funny they acknowledge reports of cheaters are hand in hand with players from countries that aren't native to the server they are playing on

[raven totem]

YA SNOWY, HOW MANY HOURS

[hot karma]

Its crazy when I play on 200 ping and fly around a corner and smoke someone with a shotgun and they arent looking anywhere near me like I dont even exist on their screen

[wooden ember]

I love chinese and russian

[indigo hemlock]

they should just implement a rule where if you advertise in your steam profile that you are cheating or hacking, even as a joke, then you get banned from hunt showdown

top kek

[timber cosmos]

honestly larping as a cheater is just as cringe as being one

[indigo hemlock]

why haven't they implemented something to mirror damage or just negate damage when you shoot through a mountain, through another mountain, through another mountain from the other side of the map? the rage cheaters.

[tidal haven]

It's a steam profile, report them to steam

The cheat works by teleporting the bullet to the player, not shooting cross map

[indigo hemlock]

and?

[tidal haven]

it wouldn't have touched a mountain, or another mountain, or another mountain

[indigo hemlock]

they can calculate the straight path from player to player and see there's mountains in the way, as the killcam does. it's in really poor taste they don't implement that, i imagine it would be so easy to do. or just give the player that got killed a free revive if it can't happen in realtime, then instantly kill the cheater and instaban hardware id, the end.

and if it can't be done in realtime, then scrape the match statistics daily and reward the player's account with their hunter and gear back the next day like arc raiders does.

70,000 cheaters in one year banned 2024-2025, you figure they each killed 100 players (modest number), that's 7 million hunters taketh by cheaters. they should do better.

[hot karma]

especially because of how small the player base is to begin with

[indigo hemlock]

buy skins tho

[hot karma]

in bundles

[indigo hemlock]

hire me crytek

[hot karma]

bundle everything so you have to pay full price for a reworked old skin

[dusky wing]

William McKinley hunter when

[drowsy crystal]

'balanced..."

[fiery garnet]

Cry

Welcome little hunter

[gray aurora]

that is the best way to get mmr just kill them

I would prolly die first shot headshot there

[ashen sand]

Oh sooooo balanced

[indigo hemlock]

the only thing they can do is add a button that says "require strict MMR range" at matchmaking and make queues up to 30 minutes long.

[drowsy crystal]

likewise, if your team has 4 mmr, it cannot match you with entire teams of 6, it is not crying, it is logical

[indigo hemlock]

i mean i guess they could get rid of the cheater problem so that more people play but that would make too much sense.

[pulsar pike]

Quick question, how do you know if all the codes are gone from the donation thing?

[ashen sand]

We had a 3 1/2 Matchmaking MMR and they had 5 1/2 lmao…. Like yours we were playing against 2 ranks higher,,, cause apparently it’s balanced hahaha this is becoming a joke that they can’t fix it. Oh but I bet they’ll put out something about a new DLC quick lmao

[empty eagle]

Cause DLC team and MMR team are the same yep

[turbid dock]

improving matchmaking fairness was on the 2026 roadmap

[indigo hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/back-to-the-future-doc-brown-roads-no-need-michael-j-fox-gif-4584287

[ashen sand]

Talking about priorities

[empty eagle]

Nae, at 300pm at the earliest on a weekday, likely there aren't as many folks on, so MMR gets wider to compensate. I get that it's annoying but there's a reason it happens

shrug fair, but I wouldn't say dlc are any more a priority

[indigo hemlock]

make game f2p, implement mirror damage for cheaters, implement giving back hunters when killed by cheaters, player base grows, problem solved.

hire me pls.

I gotchu

[wooden ember]

Are you salty bc a cheater killed you?

[indigo hemlock]

yes?

[wooden ember]

kek

[ashen sand]

Not as many folks on??? Then that’s called a dead game! Here’s an idea re-release the game and call it remastered! That way people that don’t know about it will see it! I didn’t know this game existed until I accidentally found someone streaming it on Twitch.

[indigo hemlock]

they did that already lol

[ashen sand]

Seriously?? Did they even try advertising lol

[crystal bay]

Hunt Showdown -> Hunt Showdown 1896

They got a good crowd, just unfortunate bugs on launch so they decided to focus on QoL changes for awhile and it's been pretty good

This game is great minus the matchmaking,, it would be awesome if we could get more players

[empty eagle]

Yeah 2.0 was low-key a mess

It's happening

[crystal bay]

unfortunately

[empty eagle]

Gradually

[ashen sand]

That sucks

[crystal bay]

Yeah, they've been headed in a good direction

[empty eagle]

Arguably it's been a slog uphill but they're getting into really good places now

[crystal bay]

For sure, few misteps, lots of obstacles but honestly they've been doing a great job

[ashen sand]

Yea but heading in the right direction for nobody new is just jogging in place going nowhere

[empty eagle]

I mean the overall steam numbers indicate they're getting more folks

[ashen sand]

I hope the trend continues

[crystal bay]

• adding it to gamepass for awhile getting it on microsoft store

I'm hopeful at least

My favorite game, would love to see it grow

remember when they rehauled the UI that nobody wanted and then tried to make it more appealing to console players but everyone hated it

[crystal bay]

Indeed

[ashen sand]

I try to tell everyone I can about this game

[crystal bay]

It's been getting better

[distant furnace]

They need to work on the spawns dawg I just got fuckin sandwiched between two teams right after spawn

[indigo hemlock]

they should make console <-> pc crossplay and implement keyboard/mouse native on console for optional pc lobbies.

[crystal bay]

Pretty easy to use, the hotkeys are nice and quick

[indigo hemlock]

it will increase the playercount a lot.

[paper socket]

The Indians coming up in 2.7 do look awesome ❤️🪶

[wooden ember]

be ready for spawn fights in all matches

[empty eagle]

Pretty sure most console folks don't want that

[indigo hemlock]

nah it hasn't. this patch they introduced more changes and when you buy a new hunter it doesn't even switch to the hunter you just bought. it's like they don't even test the game.

[empty eagle]

But maybe in time

[distant furnace]

Yea I'm used to that, but getting third partied right out the gate is horrible

Especially on a night map

[indigo hemlock]

dunno, could add a button so its optional.

[paper socket]

We need more Clash locations. Who’s with me.

[wooden ember]

+1

[ashen sand]

They do it’s called Bounty Hunt spawn fights lol

[wooden ember]

yeah my last match was like that but I dont mind it since I got myself 7 kills and a good fight lule

[ashen sand]

I don’t mind Spawn fights,, but the mismatched MMR is what gets me tilted

[wooden ember]

hmm

yeah idk about mmr Im in perma 6 star and playing against that is it bad at lower?

[spark plaza]

amogus

[ashen sand]

When any 6 star is in a 3-4 star lobby solo or not there’s an issue

[wooden ember]

Yeah fair

I remember bringing my 3star friend in 6star lobbies and he wasnt rly happy about it so I can imagine how it feels xd

[ashen sand]

I think whoever has the highest MMR in a Duo/Trio group that’s what you get in the match. And if you’re a 6 star playing solo/duo/trios then you should only play against 6stars

I run with higher star players and don’t mind running into the 6s then,, but if I’m 4 and my friends are lower than me I should never see anyone over a 4

[crystal bay]

Yeah that part is a bit annoying

Hopefully will get fixed next patch

But overall improvements

[quiet hinge]

I don't really understand this. If you're 4 star and you're playing with for example two 2 stars, you want to be the best player in the lobby mmr wise?

[ashen sand]

Yes as the max you’ll go against

[paper anvil]

1250 bb for legacy chronices..hmm..well,couldn't expect it to be the same as battlepass value wise but at least it's better structured than normal story challenges

[indigo hemlock]

its weird because they left in the old ui, its just hidden. they did a hotfix and one of the fixes was that some players were still seeing the old menu in certain circumstances.

best would be if they allowed "old" and "new" ui selection but i guess it would be a lot to maintain both.

[quiet hinge]

why switch it up from what you said earlier when you play with a 6 star you only get 6 stars, if you play with a 4 star with two 2 stars, shouldn't your entire lobby be 4 stars except your team?

[paper anvil]

Tbh,ui isn't that big of a problem unless you're a new player

I hope devs will eventually perfect it but i doubt it,with all the things going on in hunt's menu

[indigo hemlock]

is there a secret search filter in the equipment screen for owned equipment? like i know you can type contraband but how about for non-contraband and owned

[tall canopy]

afaik no

[ashen sand]

I didn’t switch it up. I said if I was a 4 star and decide to partner up with a 6 star then I would expect to play against 6 stars. But if I’m a 4 star and my partner is 2 then we should only see max 4 stars and never see a 5 or 6 at all

[indigo hemlock]

a quality gaming experience

[wooden ember]

Yeah I dont rly mind the ui you jsut have to learn the shortcuts and hotkeys once

[quiet hinge]

but if you're 4 star, what is a 5 star to you? As a two star, what is a 4 star to them?

[tall canopy]

[outer iron]

Bro got got.

[wooden ember]

Mots

[ashen sand]

It’s like comparing elementary, middle school and high school. They’re step ups. I’m talking about have caps on matchmaking based on the highest MMR in the group you’re playing with

[paper anvil]

[outer iron]

I like how it's never "Yo, check out how I got free money." It's just pictures and nothing else.

[quiet hinge]

do you know the difference in mmr between a 2 star and a 4 star?

[light sky]

[paper anvil]

Idk who made this gif but he/she is goated

[ashen sand]

It’s the same difference between a 4 and 6 star

[jolly parcel]

bro slug is so funny to kill with

[quiet hinge]

its more

[little sun]

Is there any chance i can get the Burnt Marshall hunter skin in the store or write them a request so i can get one (pay for it ofc)?

[jolly parcel]

this shouldnt be allowed

[wooden ember]

why

[dense girder]

Your question has already been answered in #game-questions .

[jolly parcel]

40-50 m slug kill

[wooden ember]

yes nice shot

[jolly parcel]

anyone know the drop on slugs?

[quiet hinge]

literally from your own clip

[ashen sand]

No different than me getting headshot by a Pax Trueshot from 72m away

[quiet hinge]

??

[jolly parcel]

dont think thats accurate as that shot i did was way farther and my iron sight was on his head

unless the arc is extremely small

[ashen sand]

Yep happened to me this morning. Pax Trueshot headshot from 72m away and killed by the same person 5 mins later same match by another headshot same weapon from 34m away

[quiet hinge]

theres nothing wrong with a headshot from a pax trueshot at 72m away though

[ashen sand]

Didn’t say there was lol

[quiet hinge]

why bring it up then?

[astral moss]

Clearly not, he is around 20m.

[ashen sand]

I was talking about the shotgun with slug clip. Are you just that dense

[quiet hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/soft-kobe-bryant-gif-24255342

[ashen sand]

Oh ok that makes sense lol

[spark plaza]

vrochacho that is NOT 20m 😭

[jolly parcel]

wut?

give or take 10 meters

[astral moss]

Nuh uh.

[royal sparrow]

Watch... slugs have no bullet drop

[light sky]

They do

But dude was also on top of a rock, more elevated than the target

[spark plaza]

Seems to start around 40-45m as I start hitting neck/upper torso

Have to aim at the top of the head

[light sky]

25m marks when the slugs on rival start to drop, so around 40m+ is when you need to compensate for it yeh

[hot dune]

Ca-Krack! "UHHHH"

[jolly parcel]

i dont get it, so it the drop distance number the range when you have to aim a head above or does it mean different things for different types of weapons

[light sky]

It means the same

It's the amount of meters when a bullet starts to drop

And you need to consider to compensate for it.

You were on a elevated rock so it didn't affect you that much.

[frigid ibex]

vonk is here?

I wake

[jolly parcel]

damn didnt know elevation changed the arc, back to the shooting range it is

[sly field]

Umm, guys its prolly me being stupid but bi-weekly as in twice a week or once every fortnight?

[whole furnace]

Game is basically paying itself back

Thx crytek uwu

[light sky]

Every two weeks.

[fallow arch]

What's y'all's favorite melee

[sly field]

Then once a fortnight, thanks.

[dreamy cave]

I haven't got a hunter slot in a long time

[whole furnace]

At 22 now

[frigid ibex]

We need to do the part where we pretend there's a new weapon somewhere

[turbid dock]

i'm still waiting for the lee enfield they teased

[light sky]

The what now

[turbid dock]

oh god i hope i dont have to go digging for the video

[frigid ibex]

spooky is foolish for not noticing it

[turbid dock]

they had a lee enfield propped up against the wall in their little video studio a long time ago

probably like a year ago now

[frigid ibex]

like

a few months ago

[turbid dock]

hmmmmmmm

[frigid ibex]

oh wait the video was in parts

[turbid dock]

am i stupid

[frigid ibex]

isn't what you're thinking of the documentary

[turbid dock]

oh i see

they've teased it multiple times then

no it wasn't the documentary, it was a dev update some time before that, maybe one of the live streams but i think it was a video

[frigid ibex]

Hmm

this sounds familiar

[turbid dock]

it might be in multiple streams but i found one in the legends return stream

[frozen obsidian]

Hey, guys can someone confirm if it's bug or feature - perk Assailant that should increase melee effectiveness of throwing knives and axes, they only work for light attack and not for heavy melee attack... any info?

[covert zodiac]

Hello everyone, what's your opinion on the Legacy Chronicles announcement ?

Personally, I find it cool they are bringing back old skins with a new "flavor" BUT the pricing is a bit too much... We have to keep in mind that unless you pay for the Chronicles, they will probably act as FOMO and disappear for who knows how long (hoping not 5 years again like it is right now "Light the Shadow" 2021... OOF) like the Premium Story challenges...

AND on top of that, the price for the Battlepass... I wouldn't mind if it was lower than 1250 Blood Bounds or that you get back at least 50-60% of BBs like in the BP... But as of now, I am not happy about the pricing...

[frigid ibex]

bence mentioned

i can't find hey hunters gif

[light sky]

They Price is literally fair and cheap considering the quality and amount of stuff you get

I would even say it could be a little more expensive than 1250

[covert zodiac]

Yes, but not combined with the Battlepass

[light sky]

You have DLCs alone that cost more than the BPs

You have single skins than cost 1500BBs

[covert zodiac]

Yes but you can wait for discounts

[light sky]

They could charge 1500 for the Chronicles and I would see it a fair price still

Just think of it like a Mini Battlepass.

Pretty much that's what it is

[covert zodiac]

My point still stands then. We need a return on BBs then

[light sky]

I don't think is even a big deal. You get a lot of skins and stuff for what, 12 bucks ?

That's a steal.

Other games would Bill you 25 or 30 bucks

For such amount of skins

[pulsar pike]

if you can pay 1500 for one skin getting like 4 in a pass for 12 bucks is worth it

[fallow arch]

I hope they do all the previous events

[analog saffron]

They gotta make a botcatcher counter at this point

[light sky]

Dude, you get 3 Hunters, a bow skin, throwing Axe skin, medkit skin, (also assume the Winfield and the Conversion pistol) skins + charms and profile stuff

[turbid dock]

please

[light sky]

All that for 12 bucks

[turbid dock]

i need the bot catcher counter

[light sky]

How is that NOT a steal

[turbid dock]

it seems like they'll just be available forever

[pulsar pike]

question, i donated the 5 for the skin and i aint received a code in emails does that mean its out?

[fallow arch]

I received my code on the website personally

[pulsar pike]

instant or?

[light sky]

If you could donate the 5$ for that campaign so it should still be stock.

[covert zodiac]

Are you forgetting the game isn't free-to-play ? Do you know how much skins I already bought and Battlepasses ?

I know Crytek is doing a great bit of work but I don't get why you are so defensive and even encouraging a higher pricing for those when they are already quite expensive even for the quality and number of skins ?! I never pay for a single skin that is 1500 BBs (it's insane).

I already wrote that the pricing seems FAIR alone BUT not combined with all the rest !

IF Legacy Chronicles are available forever - ala Helldivers 2 Warbonds - BUT you have to buy them to get the quests and items (perfect BUT if FOMO, bad !)

[fallow arch]

Yeah pretty much as soon as it went through

[pulsar pike]

Ah got it, thanks!

forgot to sign in after i bought it 😭

[fallow arch]

Yeah but unlike helldivers 2 there is no new gear in them it is completely optional

[pulsar pike]

damn i was on helldivers 2 for a minute then i got hunt and now im 900 hours deep

[turbid dock]

i agree, if they stay available to purchase forever its just good all around, you can see the content for yourself and decide if its worth to buy and start working on

I hope there's no FOMO, and it doesn't seem like there will be

[pulsar pike]

inspiring words

[light sky]

Then just don't buy them. I just like to value the effort and work behind the art department. Even people thought with all the content it includes would be 1800 or 2k priced, then saw it was just 1250 and got Surprised by it, that says a lot

[fallow arch]

Ok but what if this push is the one that works tho

[light sky]

And you want all that to be even more cheaper? I just think that's wild.

[pulsar pike]

sometimes push but be in a bush

[covert zodiac]

I stopped playing HD2 because of that crap. I played HD1 and the majority of weapons and stratagems where unlocked via gameplay (even though there was a good bit of DLCs, you can get the full game with all DLCs for pretty cheap nowadays). Arrowhead is getting desperate for money too...

[fallow arch]

I mean you can still earn premium currency in helldivers 2

Granted it takes hours

[covert zodiac]

Just like Hunt in the past, now it's only weekly quests

[light sky]

Story challenges just rotates, you buy them at the time or don't and they will return back at some point.
