hunt-general

[fallow topaz]

Fun short episodes following random hunters.

(of course that would go without saying I want lore back in the game)

[upbeat lark]

More lore

[uneven flax]

How about a new single player game in Hunt universe. I dont care about anything else

[lofty sinew]

honestly the main reason i wouldn't mind seeing people attempt some version of proper competitive Hunt is because it would become immediately obvious how stale the game becomes when it's played that way

[fallow topaz]

I only play Hunt. I wouldn't stop playing Hunt to play solo hunt

[uneven flax]

Please be single player hunt

Bayou 1896

[turbid dock]

economy could potentially be a meta-game aspect of a multi-round game, if that makes sense. X amount of rounds played, everyone starts with, say, 1000 hunt bucks or so, or maybe even 0

[fallow topaz]

Crysis 1900

[upbeat lark]

Hunt showdown: the artistic fall or sum

[uneven flax]

interesting. that is a good take. but 1000 is not enough

[uneven flax]

Will it? I love watching hunt streamers

Hunt's fun to watch for me

But i watch it to fall asleep tbh....

😂

[upbeat lark]

Resident evil / tlou style third person single player story game following a hunter trying to survive and make due inside the bayou or sum

[uneven flax]

It just has a looot of running and dead minutes

[upbeat lark]

I haven't read the lorebook I need to read it when I'm bored

[turbid dock]

i was thinking the number should be low enough to encourage cheap loadouts in the first round(s), but not so low that being knocked out once makes you go completely broke. 1000 is good enough for like one strong loadout if you want to start by taking a big risk, or you can divide it across several rounds, etc. Maybe it should be like 1500 or 2000 though

[uneven flax]

If only custom games are a thing maybe this discord server already hosted its own just for fun e sport event

[turbid dock]

i would love that so much

[upbeat lark]

Same

Would be fun making private hunt matches with your friend group

[lofty sinew]

i mean i do too sometimes. But it's often top streamer playing solo, which means they're vsing lower bracket teams. which is not the same thing as sweaty top-of-6-star trio play. which i think is generally much less fun to watch.

[turbid dock]

i could contribute to hosting a format like this

[uneven flax]

thats why streamers seem to die a lot playing duo with other streamers than if they play solo

😂

[turbid dock]

wait holy this is interesting

your starting money could be determined by your team size

if you enter as a solo you start with a ton of money, if you enter as a trio you start with less funds per player

[uneven flax]

It's such a missed opportunity. Hunt is almost exactly the kind of game where custom games are appropriate.

Hunt still feels more like an esport game compared to other extraction shooters

[fallow topaz]

It helps it's less... Loot focused

[uneven flax]

yeah. It's just battle royale

[fallow topaz]

You don't grind for the perfect attachment and stuff.

[uneven flax]

looting in this game is just part of the greater pvp

[fallow topaz]

And when I want some one's hard earned skins

[turbid dock]

i'm imagining a first round where one team decides to run away with the bounties to try to get an advantage next round and the other teams have a real motivation to actually race them and stop them so they dont have to fight a mosin uppercut trio next match

[uneven flax]

the economy metagaming sounds interesting, but they'd have to make maps smaller for this

because bounty teams running just doesnt make for a fun to watch sporting event

[turbid dock]

yeah smaller maps would probably help make it more interesting to watch

[lofty sinew]

one side snowballing because they got rich first wouldn't add much either imo

[uneven flax]

i think they need to get 1/3rd or 1/4th of the map for a theoretical e sport. Slice it in corners

[turbid dock]

this is already a thing in all of the world's biggest esports though

[fallow topaz]

I feel like a showdown mode would be fun. Basically all solos and you are going for specific enemy players.

[turbid dock]

CS, valorant, mobas

all have snowballing economies

[uneven flax]

yeah this is the issue with the economy mechanics, it's easy to snowball

it's more fun to watch fair fights since it's an esport

[turbid dock]

and it works just fine

[uneven flax]

not as bad as hunt

[fallow topaz]

And it basically is a... One life and after you kill your dude you're safe for the next round.

[uneven flax]

if you are poor you could barely afford a regen shot if you need to priotize guns

a regen shot can make or break in pro fights

[lofty sinew]

sure. still don't think it would be great if the eSport version of hunt just boiled down to "race to mosin / dolch P"

[fallow topaz]

Yeah. Gotta play the gimmicks more

[turbid dock]

it also helps that hunt has multiple teams, a leading mosin dolch team could get targeted by multiple teams

they're attractive targets to steal from

[uneven flax]

the 4-team dynamic in a pro setting will definitely be interesting to watch

as long as the maps are smaller

[upbeat lark]

How would the winning condition be for hunt eSports the ones that take the most bounty I guess

[turbid dock]

the biggest obstacle to competitive integrity i think would be the randomness of hunt in terms of spawns and boss locations

[fallow topaz]

Best 2 out of 3 structures tournaments with the final one being 3 of 5 winner takes all.

[uneven flax]

it's not gonna be much of an issue if the maps are smaller

doesnt matter who spawns next to boss at that point

[turbid dock]

yeah it definitely helps, the banish time works wonders if the time to cross the map becomes smaller

[fallow topaz]

It would basically be double bounty sized maps (I'd think that's how I'd go about it)

[turbid dock]

yeah

something between 4-8 compounds ish

[fallow topaz]

Healthier spawns than Clash

But not 5 minutes of running

[uneven flax]

yeah clash is so cancer in spawns. but hey clash is where i practice my shot leading 😂

[turbid dock]

i want everyone involved here to let this ruminate and cook in their brains, if you get other ideas i want to hear them hah

[uneven flax]

i still wish clash does random compound sizes. make it 1-3

i think crytek just dont want to bother making the new spawns and configs

[upbeat lark]

If I remember correctly there is one time where I headshot someone with a Maynard from 4 steps off spawn on clash

[lofty sinew]

noted. brains cooking. someone remind me to take the idea out before i burn the whole thing.

[turbid dock]

will do

[upbeat lark]

That's what like what 4 teams spawning around a single compound do to a game

[uneven flax]

so you can daydream about it? hahahaha

none of this discussion is going anywhere, not even the custom lobby we all want

[turbid dock]

so i can pitch it to crytek when i totally apply for a job

trust me it will happen

[uneven flax]

apply for the development director and tell us what the unannounced project is

[upbeat lark]

Don't worry guys I have a genie lamp with 1 wish

[turbid dock]

oh hell yeah

fuck solving world hunger, we're creating hunt esports

[uneven flax]

hunt esports or remove long ammo

pick 1

[upbeat lark]

To hell with worldpiece were creating eSports

[neon glacier]

long ammo is not an issue when spam exists

if anything should be removed its spam weapons

[uneven flax]

both are issues

lets just play winnies

[upbeat lark]

Long ammo spam

[short halo]

It took me entirely too long to realize worldpiece was world peace

[upbeat lark]

Semiautomatic avtomat as a long ammo rare scarce weapon

[short halo]

I thought there was a new competitive scene or something

[uneven flax]

I realised how impossible it is to peek an avtomat

i get tapped in the leg and im still dead

[turbid dock]

worldpiece is actually the sequel to one piece

[upbeat lark]

Oh my goodness I just realized I write it wrong too

[turbid dock]

everyone thought it would be called two piece but they tricked everyone

it will have twice as many episodes

[upbeat lark]

Oh my goodness a fkin American fairy got me so traumatized I can't even spell worldpeace

[short halo]

Third is called three piece suit.

Everyone excpected galaxy piece, but . . . Tricked again!

[uneven flax]

do you know Jojo has almost as much chapters as One Piece

[frigid ibex]

Back in dual sparks pistol days I met avto mains that would prefire corners like they are playing r6 siege

[uneven flax]

One Piece's problem is the animation, they intentionally pad it to make a long running shitries

[frigid ibex]

There's nothing like it in hunt

[uneven flax]

what changed? did the avtomat fire faster so u cant pre fire anymore

[upbeat lark]

And with like 800 less episodes on the anime

[frigid ibex]

Less popular is all

[short halo]

Way less ammo

[frigid ibex]

Before you could ammo dump without issues. That's like the biggest change

[upbeat lark]

My godness I just got reminded of that one piece scene where it's just 2 entire minutes of air

[short halo]

avto with dual sparps was what? 30 some odd in reserve?

[turbid dock]

firing an avto burst that doesnt kill someone is the most painful feeling in hunt

ammo is gone

[frigid ibex]

That's fine, hate avto

[short halo]

Plus you got back stupid amounts since ammo was picked up based on reserves

[sweet stirrup]

ok Im convinced

[upbeat lark]

Oh my goodness

[sweet stirrup]

ill play some hunt

[lofty sinew]

avto is silly. it exemplifies the uncomfortable lack of logic crytek is willing to bring to weapon balance.

[sweet stirrup]

skill issue

[lofty sinew]

when everything is a skill issue nothing is.

[sweet stirrup]

hmm

[upbeat lark]

Wait a moment do devil work on avto

[lofty sinew]

i don't think so

[turbid dock]

i kinda like the philosophy of making avto and nitro these absurdly strong weapons with equally absurd drawbacks

[short halo]

Then it becomes

[next mesa]

Works on everything except shotguns, iirc

[short halo]

https://tenor.com/view/krill-issue-gif-4610541527149907170

[next mesa]

And maybe doesn't work on fanning, either. But it does work on dualies.

[frigid ibex]

Idk it was in their gilded age trailer so

[upbeat lark]

If only I have an avto to test this

[frigid ibex]

Think it just transferred over

[upbeat lark]

Oh wait training range

[next mesa]

Shooting range has an avto.

Just bring a devil card

[upbeat lark]

Fu I just realized I don't have a devil

How sad

[signal egret]

is there a reason to lower your weapon other than for visibility?

I see a lot of people in videos doing it constantly

[turbid dock]

people doing it constantly are playing on the hunter control scheme

[signal egret]

ahh

[next mesa]

I'm on gunslinger and I also lower it a lot.

[turbid dock]

the benefit of lowering it is just visibility

[signal egret]

ah I see

[next mesa]

It's useful whe you're pressed up against a wall and don't want the barrel of your gun to stick out of it.

[lofty sinew]

i forget lowering is a thing tbh. it's not that hard to notice if you're sticking a rifle through a wall really

[signal egret]

I kinda wanna try out hunter control scheme at some point

just to see if it suits the playstyle better

[upbeat lark]

Yea there is way too many times where I managed a wallbang headshot solely cause of a gun barrel

[next mesa]

It's entirely personal preference. There's no inherent advantage/disadvantage to it.

[signal egret]

thats super true

[lofty sinew]

oh i see it a lot. somehow people manage to do it right beside windows a lot

[signal egret]

is the hunter scheme just supposed to be like more specialized to hunt?

or what's the real intention behind it if not?

[turbid dock]

it's the original control scheme

it puts slightly more emphasis on hitting things with your gun

[next mesa]

Yeah, back before the game released, there was only the Hunter control scheme. Gunslinger was added in later.

[turbid dock]

hunter makes it easier to keep your gun lowered more, but also means it might take you a couple hundred milliseconds longer to get a shot off if someone catches you with your gun down. Two very small tradeoffs, it's mostly preference

[signal egret]

ah I see

Okay that's good to know

[upbeat lark]

I haven't tried hunter control

[signal egret]

despite having almost 200 hours in this game I still feel like I know very little about certain parts of the game lol

[upbeat lark]

This make it sounds like those stances on a hack and slash games

[next mesa]

If you're comfortable with gunslinger, there's no real reason to try Hunter.

[next mesa]

In Hunt, 200 hours is very little game time

[signal egret]

Yeah 😭

[turbid dock]

except for curiosity lol

[upbeat lark]

Yea I've used gunslinger for far to long to switch by now

[late walrus]

normal

[next mesa]

I think I'm going to hit 2,000 hours soon myself.

[signal egret]

and like 75 of it was me being a dumbass and just playing trials over and over again cause I was sick of dying lol

DAMN

[turbid dock]

hey what else do you feel like you know little about

[signal egret]

I think it's less like

[fallow topaz]

Stance only comes up when you're flagging through a wall. But that can happen in general.

[signal egret]

actual know-how and more like gamesense stuff

[turbid dock]

ah yeah

[upbeat lark]

Me with 370 getting confused cause my frag didn't clear conc

[signal egret]

especially with repositioning

goddamn I suck at positioning

[next mesa]

gamesense is certainly developed over gametime rather than someone telling you. Though people telling you can help.

[signal egret]

and I think that's why I keep dying

[fallow topaz]

Knowing when and how to reposition is the hardest part of any shooter imo

[turbid dock]

partially experience, partially things you can be taught and think about consciously, mostly asking yourself "damn, why did i die here, what could i have done differently" every time you die

[next mesa]

Sometimes I still struggle to determine when I should fall back and relocate. Sometimes I'm too stubborn and kill-hungry.

[late walrus]

starting a complex game is always annoying at the start because you know that most of your deaths are from a lack of experience

[upbeat lark]

Indeed

[signal egret]

yeah exactly

I think that's the biggest thing that is a bit disheartening still

[fallow topaz]

I use IRL recommendations which is usually 2 shots when assaulting/ avoiding repeaks if you were spotted

[signal egret]

it's like deaths that could've been prevented if I would've just done ONE thing differently

[late walrus]

just keep playing it gets better

[signal egret]

Yeah I'm still enjoying my time

[fallow topaz]

I would frame that as making it actionable

[turbid dock]

just make sure your brain beats itself up over that one thing and it'll remember the next time you're in a situation like that

[signal egret]

and wiping a lobby whether in clash or hunt is genuinely euphoric

[fallow topaz]

Like figuring out that one thing as you recreate the situation

[signal egret]

yeah that's what I'm trying to do

like understand what I did wrong and remember it for next time

[fallow topaz]

Hunt has the best kill to serotonin ratios /half joke

[late walrus]

one of the things hunt made me do that no other shooter has

[upbeat lark]

Yea doing a lobby wipe after 3 or more losing games is euphoric

[late walrus]

is it made me stop viewing walls as cover

[signal egret]

GENUINELY

[turbid dock]

wood walls are basically just smokes

[late walrus]

other games if theres someone behind a wall its usually pretty difficult to kill them through it

[signal egret]

even metal walls sometimes lol

[fallow topaz]

Gotta love good ol Concealment vs Cover

[signal egret]

goddamn fmj

[late walrus]

hunt is just a matter of knowing where their head is through that wall

or their body if you have good pen

and theyre tagged

[dry hawk]

last i checked all bullets can go through smoke

[signal egret]

yes and they can go through wooden walls lol

[fallow topaz]

That being said nothing is more "fun" as hiding in a bush as bullets go by like

"Don't see me can't hit me" as you use a shot or medkit

[next mesa]

Lobby wipes for me no longer have that euphoric factor to it. Usually we pat each other on the back and go onto the next game. If it's a wipe after a series of losses, it's either a relief or a "finally" moment 😄

[late walrus]

poison, incen and dumdum cannot pen walls

[clever lion]

I'm fresh.. 36 hours ;w;

[fallow topaz]

Gotta wipe after a shit game or two

[dry hawk]

not if using some bullets

[late walrus]

quad derringer cannot pen walls

[next mesa]

Oh you fresh fresh

[lofty sinew]

lobby wipes can still kinda be like that if the fighting was intense enough. but i guess thats kinda rare

[next mesa]

Welcome to Hunt

[clever lion]

Thanks!

[signal egret]

I think it will forever be euphoric for me, mostly cause I play almost exclusively solo

[clever lion]

I've been fending for myself pretty good

[upbeat lark]

Small ammo (base) can go trough wood walls right

[signal egret]

welcome welcome!!

[upbeat lark]

Like fences and stuff

[fallow topaz]

In the 1890s this was breaking medical news /jk

[signal egret]

true

[late walrus]

base compact? yeah

[clever lion]

Got a friend who LIVES this game, so he's been teachin' me pretty good

[upbeat lark]

Nice

[next mesa]

I don't play solo often, if ever. Only if I am fiending for Hunt and none of my buddies are online to play.

[upbeat lark]

Hope you're enjoying the game so far

[clever lion]

Mhm!

[signal egret]

I have no friends who like the game unfortunately 😭

[dry hawk]

how can he live in the game thats not possible i think

[signal egret]

I also just like playing games solo in general a lot of times lol

[lofty sinew]

gotta have a certain level of acceptance of pain to be a hunt player.

[clever lion]

I reached 3 star a few days ago and had a 5 kill solo game earlier ^w^

[next mesa]

Could always make friends here. Most of us here like to play Hunt ;p

[fallow topaz]

Solo is good for learning compounds

Faffing around.

[upbeat lark]

Nice

[late walrus]

hunt was kinda designed to be played in a 3 player team so i recommend finding people to play with instead of running solo

[signal egret]

in fact most of them actively hate it cause they hear "extraction shooter" and want to crucify me on the spot

[raven totem]

HELL YA HOWS IT FEELING? first thoughts?

[signal egret]

I mean I've been doing alright solo

but yeah I do uh

[clever lion]

It's super refreshing over the normal run and gun games

I love the strategy and careful playing

[raven totem]

Omg I love hearing new player impressions

[signal egret]

noticeably better when with trios

[turbid dock]

2 player team

!!

[late walrus]

ehhh

iffy

[lofty sinew]

it was originally duos only

[next mesa]

Well, originally the game was made to played by duos. Then trios came about and became the standard, which later caused Crytek the abandon the whole "rule of two"

[turbid dock]

i'm half joking but it literally was designed for a two player team hah, two bounty tokens, the old rule of two when looting, trios not existing

[raven totem]

Rule of two was unhealthy more so than just trios t be fair

[next mesa]

Still only two bounty tokens

[upbeat lark]

So that's why there have to be a poor person who doesn't get a share of bounty

[lofty sinew]

haha. thats a memory. tool box! .. oh sorry already 2 loots. none for you.

[fallow topaz]

I like the 3rd can be floating in the map

[dry hawk]

most extraction shooters have much more commitment than hunt
it takes only a few games, 2~ hours to get a fully stacked hunter, compared to escape from tarkov which can take hours just to get some basic gear only to lose it all to some bs

[next mesa]

Well, everyone gets a share of the bounty. It's not divvied up amongst the trio.

[raven totem]

Like some jerks, can't imagine who, would just throw axes into the bushes to burn tool boxes so others couldn't use them

[upbeat lark]

Just the bounty ability I always thought poor guy when receiving the bounty

[fallow topaz]

I remember when XP was fully shared... Man I loved getting free unlocks to entice me to try new guns

[late walrus]

sorry you seem to be happy seeing others enjoy the game

[signal egret]

genuinely have been enjoying hunt so much that the next ttrpg campaign I'm running is gonna have a southern gothic horror feel just like hunt. Lots of older ww1 era firearms and freaky magic and monsters and such too

[next mesa]

Not everyone wants to be the bounty carrier

[late walrus]

ahem

i FUCKING HATE THIS STUPID GAME

EVERYONE IS JUST SPAMMING ALL THE TIME

DOLCH DOLCH DOLCH

[fallow topaz]

Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

[signal egret]

I hear a brokie talking

[late walrus]

HUNT SHOWDOWN IS AN UNBALANCED MESS!!!

[signal egret]

/silly

[signal egret]

FACTS

[gray aurora]

3 and 4 mmr ppl play with all the fun guns

[late walrus]

HUUNTING BOW IS OP!!!!

smth like that

[fallow topaz]

Nothing is worse than an addict that can't enjoy the high anymore /jk

[signal egret]

I genuinely hated playing in the beginning cause I was also a solo and I didn't understand why it was so hard to get a maxxed out hunter

[next mesa]

Anyway, I think the balance in Hunt is pretty good. Aside from some interesting weapons. Though, I am beginning to wish dum dum was never implemented in the game.

[raven totem]

It's the only way to relive the freshness when I know hunts 4km squared like the back of my hand

[signal egret]

cause uh

you're supposed to actually

win sometimes

[late walrus]

true

[stray robin]

hello. is inferno turned off already? Haven't played for 2 months

[fallow topaz]

It sucks because I love damage over time.

[signal egret]

nope nope

[fallow topaz]

Like I know it's breaking pressure and stuff.

[whole furnace]

Okay I am back from making the whole Hunger Server mad.
How have people been?

[raven totem]

I am dum dum enjoyer

[next mesa]

Inferno is still ongoing. Just encountered it today

[upbeat lark]

I love dumdum

[fallow topaz]

Trying to find it for my centennial

[upbeat lark]

I hate it when it's used on me tho

[fallow topaz]

Because I was addicted to that

[late walrus]

inferno is still here, its just classed as a time of day so you wont get it every match

[stray robin]

okay, thanks. been watching streams and there was no fire. does hellborn still appear in bayou tho?

[late walrus]

yes

[next mesa]

When I use it, it's fun. But man... when it's used against you, it's very oppressive. If it was removed, I think it'd be a little healthier for the game. But that's just my opinion.

[upbeat lark]

Cent/wild dum should not have exist

[signal egret]

does anyone here play exclusively solo? Or am I genuinely insane for even trying 😭

[whole furnace]

When three outta five (techincally six) 3-slots that can have dum dum, have it scarce, then there might be an issue with it lol

[raven totem]

You know bloodless shits on it right?

[fallow topaz]

I used random teams to learn the game.

[next mesa]

Too many traits, not enough trait slots.

[fallow topaz]

I only just started doing solo runs.

[upbeat lark]

If it have to exist I'd say keep it as a option for the single shot guns

[lofty sinew]

i saw a suggestion recently about dum dum where they suggested bleed damage shouldn't tick unless you are moving. Maybe at least if it only caused light bleed and only moved to heavy bleed if you moved it would be less opressive? but still kinda feel like it's in the arena of what i'd consider a reasonable "fix" for dum dum

[signal egret]

ah

[fallow topaz]

I feel like the defensive traits are a net loss to more aggressive ones too

[raven totem]

I like dum Dums existence because it steps outside of long and sppam

[late walrus]

i hope dumdum gets nuked from the game

[raven totem]

Pffft

[fallow topaz]

Bloodless? Sorry I want iron eye/ ambidextrous/ whatever

[next mesa]

Bloodless is strong, but I do not really ever choose it. The other perks are just more useful to me.

[raven totem]

Ambidextrous?

[whole furnace]

Knowing crytek, if they implement it, it also tracks movement such as falling, making people lose 100hp bc they vaulted a 5m drop lmao

[next mesa]

Because there could be instances where bloodless does nothing for a match or two or three.

[fallow topaz]

Dualies one

It helps them reload faster

[raven totem]

Oh I'm awa

[late walrus]

how much faster does ambidextrous actually make the reload

[upbeat lark]

I never really choose it as my first nor second trait selection

[late walrus]

it always feels fast enough without

[fallow topaz]

Even faster. Especially the clip or magazine pistols

[upbeat lark]

More often than not surefoot plus psychian already took all my trait points on my second life

[late walrus]

i know its faster thats the whole point of the trait

[lofty sinew]

oh i take bloodless pretty regularly i guess.

[late walrus]

i wanna know how much

[fallow topaz]

Wait is a bornheim an enbloc clip?

[next mesa]

Yes

[fallow topaz]

Forget magazines weren't invented yet

[next mesa]

They were

C93

[fallow topaz]

*detachable box magazines.

[late walrus]

if this gets added to the game i will be having words with crytek

[whole furnace]

Suggestion: Make scarce traits actually scarce, so we don't have to leave 3-5 trait slots open for them at all time lol

[next mesa]

The C93 has a detachable magazine

[dry hawk]

its pretty significant

[fallow topaz]

Not the one in game

[next mesa]

That's the C96

[dry hawk]

unless if you run swift in which case it doesnt help at all

[whole furnace]

Why are we talking about the C93

[fallow topaz]

But yeah you're right. It's that early era

[next mesa]

C95 is the one that is stripper clip fed

[fallow topaz]

I want a Browning pocket. Need an op compact pistol /jk

[upbeat lark]

Keep the guarente on the wild boss but make it even rarer from bears and meatheads

[late walrus]

isnt the mauser c96?

[next mesa]

Yes, I just fat fingered

[clever lion]

Any tips on what to run in a build along side the Sparks?

[dry hawk]

another sparks

[late walrus]

something spam/aoe for gimmick

[upbeat lark]

I use the hand crossbow with it one half choke and another fire

[whole furnace]

Yeah, it is getting silly atm
Also feel like it must be a bug that all the scarce traits in the towers ain't pledge traits.

[clever lion]

I have a Bornheim with compact rn

[next mesa]

I want blademancer to be a normal trait

[robust bridge]

Anyone want to run show games ususally in 5-6start lobbies need 2

[dry hawk]

i want crackshot back

the newer one

[upbeat lark]

Some use uppercut explosive along with the spark

The small aoe explosive damage doesn't feel so useless anymore when your enemy is at 1hp

[dry hawk]

explosive ammo is so funny

especially on the uppercut like why does it do 25 less damage

[next mesa]

Balance

Explosive can get oppressive very quickly.

[tiny ledge]

Did post get removed where they talked about additional player lobbies and their plans to implement? I tried going back in history and couldn’t find anything. even though I remember them coming out and saying they were planning to add it after the positive feedback, but only to trios.

[light sky]

Nah, never

Never happened

[dry hawk]

i understand why it does less damage but why does the uppercut have such a higher penalty

[next mesa]

[upbeat lark]

I've never seen anyone use explo ammo it's just explo bolts on bows chukonus and crossbows

[lofty sinew]

i mean rachtas most recent schtick is sparks pistol + explo mako

[upbeat lark]

Explo chukonu is quite oppressive when you doesn't expect it

Oh you though you're safe behind that cement wall eat 5 of this explosive bolts

[late walrus]

its crazy how 6* is such a wide range that 2 3* and a 6* is given a match mmr of 5*
meanwhile another team who is 2 6* and a 5* gets the same match mmr

[tiny ledge]

Funniest loadout to troll with is sparks poison + Uppercut explosive

[whole furnace]

Think highest MMR pulls a lot in this case.
So 6 stars cannot play with 1-2 stars and get pulled down to 3 star to clown on people.

[late walrus]

tbh i think it should just put them in like 4 match mmr

from what ive seen 4* players are pretty capable of killing a 6*

[jagged wraith]

I mean

[late walrus]

instead this guys 3* friends are just fighting full 6 lobbies lmao

[jagged wraith]

In my experience if you're high enough 6* you even solo trio 6 star games

[whole furnace]

Yes, but you know the endless pissing and moaning we would get here

[late walrus]

we already get endless pissing and moaning from solos existing

[jagged wraith]

Why?

[whole furnace]

Fair point lol

[jagged wraith]

Unless they're rats it's just a worse gameplay style

[late walrus]

playstyle, some people dont like sitting on a burning body for 9 years

they feel the skill diff is unfair too

[whole furnace]

Inherent issue of being impossible to balance in a way where everyone are happy.
Also good name, good song.

[jagged wraith]

Doesn't need to be balanced.

[lofty sinew]

sometimes i moan, sometimes i piss. sometimes i poan and sometimes i miss.

[dry hawk]

solo players dont need anymore help than they already have tbh

[dry hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-true-eyes-dog-true-meme-dog-eyes-meme-gif-669697498800876669

[whole furnace]

Agree, but see a lot of solos thinking they should have more of a leg up

[lofty sinew]

it's never going to be entirely possible to "balance" solo play in a team game. this modern trend of everyone expecting every game to cater to making solo play possible is.. unhelpful. imho.

[whole furnace]

I think the worst part is that solo into trios have become the go-to mode for solos completely distorting the perspective.

[late walrus]

holy randoms

this poor soul gets instantly headshot

[lofty sinew]

but you know. we must service mammons loins, so many a "pragmatic" choice is made about trying to placate the hordes of people who want to play a game fundamentally not really designed to accomodate it "their way"

[late walrus]

our afk teammate came back finally for the spawnfight

instantly hides in a bush and misses 2 shots

fails to kill someone with dark dynamite and then dies in a bush

starts yapping about hacks

and the other random just says "no you are bad"

[lofty sinew]

yeah it's silly. I was fine with it just being hunt hard mode for the masochists. shruuuuuug

[late walrus]

i love this game

[whole furnace]

yeee, that said, think that was more an issue that duos got ruined by the extra team added to that mode with the 1.0 patch.
It is a shame, bc it seems like Crytek just wanna kill duos totally

Instead of fixing it

[gray aurora]

went to solo game thinking easier opponent there was 3 solos higher than me 🙁

[late walrus]

holy matchmaking

4 solos in one match?

sonion

[gray aurora]

best time to play

[whole furnace]

I mean that is quite common

[late walrus]

eu things?

[whole furnace]

matchmaking things

[late walrus]

i rarely get a solo on NA bounty hunt

most the times when i think someone is solo they were just super far from their team

[whole furnace]

One solo leaves 2 spots open (in trios), so easily that becomes another 2 solos

[jagged wraith]

I stil enjoy duos a lot too. It's just less fun from a solo perspective because fights are triple the chaos.

[late walrus]

yeah i know that

but for me its usually a duo taking the other spots

or theres no solo at all

[jagged wraith]

Wish they'd vary the lobbies from 12 to 15 and not tell anyone.

[late walrus]

ive actually had alot of matches where theres a duo and the space for a solo just isnt taken

[whole furnace]

Well your MMR is also that high that rarely solos gonna be in your bracket.

[jagged wraith]

Make that super intense

[whole furnace]

God no

[late walrus]

true

[whole furnace]

15 players lobbies sucked so hard

It was the worst

[late walrus]

i swear i like randomly sat at high 6 or something this number refuses to go down

i keep dying like a fucking idiot

and it just stays

[gray aurora]

Im 4 mmr in hunt and 5 in clash. I face a lot of 6 stars

[dry hawk]

if spawn fights didnt occur so often i dont think id mind 15 player lobbies as much

[late walrus]

dude my KD has gone down before my mmr lmao

[gray aurora]

I play usually random trios in hunt

[late walrus]

some days its just headshotting everyone i see

[gray aurora]

and might die 3-4 times a game

[late walrus]

other days i do this

[gray aurora]

Almost always atleast once

[whole furnace]

For me it goes back to my duo gripes.
Game works well with 5 teams, horrible with 6.
And 15 player trios were more often than not 3-4 trios and mix of solos/duos, cranking the total team count up to 6-8.

[dry hawk]

also i wouldnt mind spawn fights as much if the loading times werent so long

[whole furnace]

If 15 players trios were ONLY 5 trio teams, I'm sure it would be fine.

[late walrus]

when they tried 15 players it just felt like a hoard shooter

kill team another team is already here

over and over until lobby wipe

[gray aurora]

15 players had like every game 2 or 3 team spawn fight

[late walrus]

i really do not want to have a server fight with 15 players either

[whole furnace]

Honestly.
Instead of having lobbies being player count, it should be 5 teams always.

[dry hawk]

yea it was pretty hectic

server fights have the potential to be really fun or absolute misery depending on where in the fight you're at

nothing like being caught in a crossfire between two teams making you think they telepathically allied to take you and your friends down first

[whole furnace]

The ones that no matter what you, no matter how much you flank or tries to disengage, all other teams are just set on you for some fucking reason lol

[late walrus]

hey siri why does my teammate have a spyglass

[whole furnace]

Pimged

[dry hawk]

because they want to spy onthings

duh

[gray aurora]

spyglass could show ppl in bushes 8)

[whole furnace]

🔭👁️👄 👁️

[gray aurora]

I have never even tried it. So I dont know how it works

[dry hawk]

i had a feeling that 15 player lobbies would encourage the rat/slow playstyles a lot more for this reason

even with 12 player lobbies being the first team to a bounty fight is risky if you dont have much info

[whole furnace]

That was how we felt.
My trios experience was, way more getting shot by a solo/duo team with snipers out of the left field as we were fighting another team.

[dry hawk]

like a lot of people hate bush strats but its either that or risk being shot from two different teams

i think theres a way to make everyone happy though

just make clash 15 players

ez

[whole furnace]

Just make clash a better game

ez

Then we don't need to try to "fix" bh

[dry hawk]

how would you make clash a better gamemode

[whole furnace]

Random loadouts for each players on a team, but mirrored across all teams.

No meta, all chaos

Ofc you get medkits and melee tool as a guaranteed.

[dry hawk]

that could be its own gamemode or maybe a seasonal event thing

but i think clash is fine how it is

[whole furnace]

Dunno, people complaining about BH not being more action filled, when they can BC is a sign that BC is not good enough.

[upbeat lark]

Random loadout bounty hunt/clash gamemode where you will spend 400 coins regardless to get in (trait is also randomized)

Actually 500 coins

[dry hawk]

you make your own action in BH if it doesnt find you first

[whole furnace]

Sure, but still doesn't negate my point

That there are people who want more action but don't like how it is done in Clash

[dry hawk]

i hope those arent the same people complaining about chariot since im pretty sure that was added to encourage more fights

[whole furnace]

Dunno if "encourage" is the right word lol

[dry hawk]

allows? results?

[whole furnace]

More than just flat out remove the extraction part of the extraction shooter.

[dry hawk]

it doesnt remove them, it just moves them

[upbeat lark]

One thing for sure some spawn on clash need to be reworked

[whole furnace]

Yeah, but with this event it have been proven that it basically means you are not extracting.

Dunno, the skill check just ain't there with the card.

Kinda just "free" to use

[dry hawk]

i do agree that fixed card locations makes chariots downside pretty much meaningless

[upbeat lark]

-1 healthbar is not enough of a drawback it seems

[whole furnace]

And the fact you can always see the bounty team's movement means you don't even have to do any timing

[whole furnace]

not when it right next to a resto pack and recovery shot is a thing lol

[upbeat lark]

A team can just camp, wait till all the fight is over and force the bounty winner to fight them when they're at their weakest

[whole furnace]

AND also the odds for the Chariot to actual work is super high due to the fact you are flipping two open edge extract into one edge extract and the middle extract.

[upbeat lark]

Id imagine the bounty team to have depleted resources after that fight

[late walrus]

as it turns out i simply needed another gun

[whole furnace]

Which one?

[late walrus]

my teammates need another brain but thats not something i can help them with

[late walrus]

centennial HV

[frozen crag]

Officer carbine turns you into a demon lmaoooo

[whole furnace]

Zoomies!

[upbeat lark]

Hitscan

[late walrus]

its strange

i was using spitzer and couldnt hit heads

but with cent hv i can

[dry hawk]

i think using chariot should leave a mark on the map, like dark sight

[late walrus]

using chariot should show who did it so i can ask these people why

ive seen some weird chariots bro

people have used chariot to try making me leave the match

[whole furnace]

Would change anything.
It needs to have some timing/positional requirement to it for it to be more balanced imo :)

[upbeat lark]

Using chariot would send a ddos to the router of the user

This joke might have went too far

[frozen crag]

That's how I felt with subsonic and compact ammo, I feel like getting used to slower weapons makes you get used to leading more imo

[lone viper]

think the game's dead

matchmaking is superslow

[late walrus]

well considering cent HV is 725

i havent gone much lower

[frozen crag]

I love the cent too but i feel you on that

I should bust out the handbow

kek

[dry hawk]

in my experience everytime i get into a post-chariot fight its a 50/50, i dont believe either side has any extrinsic advantage unless the bounty team is really hurting on resources and health

[whole furnace]

For me it is less about the advantage and more about it deletes a whole aspect of the game.
Why have extractions if they are not relevant.

[late walrus]

sometimes it feels like hunt is trying to be a competitive shooter and an extraction shooter at the same time

these 2 dont fit together

[dry hawk]

i see i see

[late walrus]

one is objective based one is blowing your enemies shit smoove off based

[whole furnace]

Currently the way matches plays out is very linear.

[late walrus]

we have an objective, but we also have skill based matchmaking, we have extracts to leave whenever you want, but we also have chariot

it doesnt make sense

i mean im not mad about it. but you need to pick one or the other

[whole furnace]

Well it is push and pull between what the game is and community feedback.
Bc there are just a lot of "solutions" in this game that more often than not is fixing is player skill issue.

Chariot is one of such imo

[late walrus]

in the end the game usually plays like a battle royale with looting

you keep fighting until lobby is wiped and then you loot and leave

[dry hawk]

as much crap the MMR system gets in hunt i think its for the best that it exists than not, imagine a 1* team queuing with a 6*

[whole furnace]

People complains "bounty running away", but in reality bounty team have been sitting in the boss lair whole banishment time and now see no one in dark sight after picking up the bounty.

[late walrus]

well yeah i like having sbmm

[whole furnace]

Yeah

Bounty is gonna go for extract then lol

[late walrus]

see

[dry hawk]

i just dont have enough experience with chariot to really form a strong opinion about it one way or the other

[late walrus]

when i complain about bounty running away its because they are literally running away

[whole furnace]

I mean, they are just bringing the ball to the goal

[dry hawk]

if my team gets chariot'd i just go "well, i guess they wanna fight" and proceed to kill or get killed

[late walrus]

hitting chariot on a bounty team and they are STILL running after no fighting at all

its more effort than just fighting me

[whole furnace]

Well, having the bounty is a disadvantage for most people.

[late walrus]

like just shoot me in the head and you can do whatever you want

bounty isnt worth shit anyway

[whole furnace]

And trying to find someone in the wild while you have the bounty is also not smart.

[late walrus]

if im actively chasing them they can just go into a compound

they have 150m scan to know im not in there

[whole furnace]

Only something they can do so many times.

[late walrus]

well they get 10 seconds of it between their team

[whole furnace]

Again, if I get bounty and I see no one in scan, I just ain't really willing to risk walking into an ambush.

[late walrus]

surely they wouldnt waste ALL 10 SECONDS before finding a compound

leaving if no ones on scan i dont mind as much cause like id do it too

waiting around and no one shows up

[whole furnace]

No, but still even with seconds, the fact you are visible on the map means that enemy bounty team can just set up some nasty ambush.

[late walrus]

i cant be fucked running around the map

[whole furnace]

Exactly

I am more willing to go across the map if the other boss is banishing

[upbeat lark]

What I care more is the XP from the bounty than the money from the bounty by now

[late walrus]

the only people setting up some ambush where you wont see them on scan and have a chance to go the other way are like the duos placing dark dynamites on extraction

which arent all that common

[whole furnace]

The thing is you only have those many limited seconds you cannot cover all potential ambush points.

[late walrus]

10 seconds tends to be enough

ive run around the map with bounty so many times

[whole furnace]

I have too, but like, usually based on info

[late walrus]

the least info ive gone with is "shooting was that way" and then i go that way

[whole furnace]

Like hearing a big fight and then see the 2nd boss banish, then I'm sure that it is only two teams left and the road to the other lair is gonna be safe.

[late walrus]

you just go compound to compound making sure no ones staring at you

[whole furnace]

Sure

But still

[late walrus]

if theres a stray team they usually dont get that much advantage because you know theyre there

[whole furnace]

Not the bounty team to play risky

If they wanna leave that is valid play

or try to

[late walrus]

when i am running at them it is annoying

and alot of the time they can just get themselves killed doing so

because instead of fighting in a compound they ran into they fight right outside the extract

[whole furnace]

I guess, I enjoy the race to the finish line

Think that is where pvp is most fun in Hunt

Again, othewise, why not just play clash?

[late walrus]

well

clash is like 9 romeros

[whole furnace]

That is true

That is how this whole convo started lol

[late walrus]

i would play a whole lot more clash if it wasnt endless one taps

[whole furnace]

Clash needs to be better, so people wont try to make BH something it ain't lol

[late walrus]

someone suggested having clash rotate around certain weapons only and i think that would be fun

[whole furnace]

I would like to think clash might be more fun if it were 2 or 3 compounds instead of just 1.

[slow thunder]

make every ammo in clash a rubber bullet equivalent, so it deals twice less the damage :)

[late walrus]

this already happens when you try to wallbang someone with anything other than long or fmj

[dry hawk]

having a shotgun is great until you lose the spawn lottery and get shot to death before you step foot inside a building

[late walrus]

most clash spawns you can get your way out of even if they are abysmal

[slow thunder]

also true

[late walrus]

without even killing anyone

id give an example if i remembered the fucking compound name

[dry hawk]

honestly ive had just as many clash games where it ends after 10 or so romero noises and others where its just poke fights

[whole furnace]

make clash maps play around a wild target instead of a compound

watch the world burn

[slow thunder]

a bear, with ten times the health

[late walrus]

ive teamed with hellborn in BH before

at blanchett

he redskulled someone for us

its female name. That is how they get you

[hollow crescent]

that is definitely a bot, fresh ass account

use @lilac swan

This could get you muted/banned

By just making claims in the open

no matter how valid they are :)

[carmine hare]

seems like good moderation!

[whole furnace]

Which part?

[sharp mulch]

What did you mean by that ?

[jagged wraith]

Big redditor energy bro.

[whole furnace]

I mean, just thought you'd appreciate not getting banned here

But my mistake for wanting to help lol

[jagged wraith]

Hope they see this.

[whole furnace]

Eventually I guess

[sharp mulch]

Am new here guys

Hunger playtest starting soon 😎

[proud sand]

Im doomed today

I have 3k now its gg

[uneven flax]

hunt dollars?

ew

what she doin

[whole furnace]

drugs

[cloud stream]

Does the game support FSR 4?

[whole furnace]

I think so, but not sure

Just recall that it does

[signal egret]

Would a good general rule of thumb be "if they see you peek an angle once, don't peak it again"

[turbid dock]

Yup

[signal egret]

Okay so as soon as they take a shot at you basically just dip and get another angle

[turbid dock]

With a notable exception being that they've since switched attention to someone else somewhere else

[signal egret]

Or as soon as they see you

[whole furnace]

or if they didn't hit you with the first shot when peeking, they are so bad they clearly not gonna hit you with the second one :V

[signal egret]

TRUE

Surely my unadulterated hubris will not get me slaughtered in this matter

[turbid dock]

Depends on how ready you are to shoot lol

Seeing you peek somewhere is more likely to keep them trained on that spot than just seeing you in the area in general, but yknow

[signal egret]

Yeah for sure

[turbid dock]

But yeah, this whole dipping and either finding a new angle in the same spot or just rotating to a completely new position? Very important

[signal egret]

Also is there a trick to try and keep the cross hair head-level or is that just gamesense?

I've been really struggling to hit headshots ngl

[turbid dock]

Mostly knowledge, but if you ask me it doesn't matter too much, keep your crosshair in the approximate area and be ready to make a microadjustment before the shot

[signal egret]

Aight aight

Got some practice to do tomorrow lol

[turbid dock]

Head level crosshair placement is mostly relevant when, say, you're holding an angle where you know someone is about to show up, like if they've hit you and you've retreated but they're pushing around the corner, something like that

In most other situations you have time to aim

[uneven flax]

It's a gamble. The enemy is doing the same thing.

Even pro players take risks and repeek

repeeking is risky but it also trains you to try to tag/pop on repeeks

or learn how to repeek differently

it's all split second decisions and microadjustments

[turbid dock]

Oh, about repeeks, i forgot to mention: if for any reason you're sure that they're not able to hold your angle, like you know that they're reloading (say, they're using a single shot gun and you have a repeater), you can pop out and become the one holding the angle

[uneven flax]

Repeeking or jump peeking a corner, shooting a prayer and going back to cover while hearing your enemy's death moan will never not be satisfying

Some risks are worth taking, but of course many also aren't

Especially if there's a noticeable skill / luck gap between you and your enemy

If my enemy is missing most of his shots im totally repeeking

if this fucking demon doesn't seem to miss i aint repeeking fuck you

repeeks are exactly the reason why my teammates lost 2v1 last night

these randos literally repeeked the same spot 5-6 times

after i killed his teammate twice and i got popped myself.

the lone enemy was a P100 who keeps rotating while my 4* teammates were repeeking the same corners

😂

[turbid dock]

Yuuup

Some times the enemy just radiates sweat particles and you know they're gonna hit you

[uneven flax]

actually coming out on top of a team that felt like they're a notch above you at first is absolutely amazing though

the highs in this game is incredible

[chrome lintel]

That or a hail Mary Tomahawk out of a peek is GREAT

[chrome lintel]

But the lows are LOW though

[uneven flax]

real

[chrome lintel]

I really gotta find a good loadout tho

[wooden ember]

avtomat

[chrome lintel]

No.

But ngl crossbow and axe isn't great...

Funny but not the most viable

[wooden ember]

yeah that sounds ASS

play mosin dolch

[lofty sinew]

the real 5d chess is re-peeking the same angle at exactly the same cadence multiple times in a row. because what idiot would do that?

this one

[native root]

How's it going people

[tribal sparrow]

did crytek said how exactly this new "military supply" feature will work?

[turbid dock]

Crossbow + trueshot tho

Then you're cooking

[tender orchid]

If yall want a good load out use Springfield and Lemat

[molten light]

which male hunters from the ones u can get for blood bonds in the store do u guys think is the coolest? (also consider how intresting are his hands and arms since thats the only portion u get to enjoy)

[chrome lintel]

One of the two guys I 1v2d yesterday did that and i kept headshotting himbut his mate kept reviving him, they were hard to push cause they had a view on every approach point and their one blind side was guarded by a meathead

[chrome lintel]

Bandit is great, I dont regret the purchase. As for the others I have no idea but Redshirt is pretty funny

Oh by the way guys I need your opinions

Am I the only one to see the hex breaker skin as Norman Reedus?

I'm halfway certain there are hunters modeled after actors in this game

Maybe it's official and im just stupid tho

[wooden ember]

my fav

hands are pretty fucked up but cool imo

[molten light]

looks nice!
any one that has cool tatts? or maybe rings? idk

[wooden ember]

hm

[hollow crescent]

depends, you want male or female

both have hunters with tattoos, rings or some combination of both

[molten light]

male

[hollow crescent]

Uh, let's see here

[wooden ember]

Black coat has rings I think??

Ill check

[hollow crescent]

Waldmann has some pretty good tats, plus his hands are some of the more unique ones

[wooden ember]

Black coat

[molten light]

Waldman looks nice! Anyone has skinner maybe?

The skinned*

[molten light]

Thx for doing this!

You guys are awesome for this, really appreciate it

[wooden ember]

Dont have him sorry:(

[hollow crescent]

same here, I have Scaled Warrior however

[molten light]

Not sure i know who that is

[hollow crescent]

the other gator boy

[wooden ember]

im screenshotting that rn

[molten light]

Oh isnt he a dlc tho?

[hollow crescent]

he is not, that's reptilian

which is this guy

[molten light]

Ohh i see

[wooden ember]

its basically skinner without the one gold ring

[hollow crescent]

the skin is frankly inferior to its original counterpart

Hello. I play your game, Hunt: Showdown 1896, on Steam under the username baibeak1. On May 26, 2024, my account was hacked; proof of this is attached. You see, I live in the city of Ufa, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. However, the login to the game originated from a different country, as shown in the attachment. I have since changed my password and strengthened my account security. I never use third-party software; I enjoy the challenge your game offers, and I do not need cheats to enjoy playing it. All of my friends were deleted from my list, and the intruder purchased a copy of the game and transferred it to another account. I kindly request that you lift the ban on my in-game account, as I was the victim of an account hack. I truly appreciate your understanding in this matter.

[molten light]

Does anyone have the shirtless viking skin maybe?

The one with the tattoos

[hollow crescent]

go watch rexnor, like, literally any of rexnor's videos

[wooden ember]

I think this is a support matter

[compact pilot]

and where to write?

[wooden ember]

#customer-support I think

[hollow crescent]

@lilac swan

or that

[wooden ember]

oh nvm

oh ok

lmao

Follow the guide thats in there

[woeful folio]

whats going on with the hunt steam page, looks like its getting a load of bad reviews, has gone from very positive to mixed, a lot of people complaining about cheaters and bad servers

[wooden ember]

I just read the reviews and there are accounts w 100 hours of playtime calling the game infested w cheaters HAHAHA

[woeful folio]

i was thinking that, i mean yes there is a lot of cheaters but these people are probably not used to the fact you can be shot through walls easily etc, altho i have to admit the server problems i can agree on

[wooden ember]

yeah

Some people definitely just died to a wallbang by the bounty team and called it cheats

And I can only talk for myself but I neved had problems w the servers in like 2 months

Not one dc or anything so im good on that

[woeful folio]

oh thats good! my friends and i havent been as fortunate, the hunt streamers i was watching have been talking about it as well, Ratchaz etc

altho lets not jinx anything and hopefully it stays good your end lol

[wooden ember]

oh yeah I might have just gotten lucky

Only problem I had was my packet loss jumped a bit to like 50 but that only lasted for like 10 seconds and fortunately it wasnt while i was fighting

And I only met one cheater in my 700 hours so Im also good on that

But I also watched Rachta the other day who got hunted by cheaters in bounty clash 😄

[woeful folio]

phaha yeah ive had it multiple times where the whole lobby gets disconnected its crazy

[woeful folio]

WHAAAT thats crazy, i get them quite frequently, like once a week maybe? i try not to instantly accuse people but they often dont hide it because game accounts are so cheap to buy so it doesnt matter if they get banned

i just really wish crytek would spend a couple updates/months soley focusing on smoothing out anticheat and servers, im sure most of the community would be happy to wait if it meant good progress

[wooden ember]

Weekends are like that tho the cheaters love to come out at weekends

[remote moss]

or jobbers, you know

cause weekends you got time

[woeful folio]

also your pfp goes hard btw

[remote moss]

last stream? lol

i gotta go see that

[wooden ember]

[remote moss]

thats hunt showdown, yes

you will suck until you burn through many hours of your life

behold

[left orbit]

just avoid camping, left/right straffing like i posted, use hipfire in close range, know when to run and when to be silent, recognize footsteps, and also, WALLBANG

literally. that guy was full FMJ and never tried wallbang.

[remote moss]

tsk tsk, full info wallbangs

[left orbit]

i’ve been wallbanged with poison ammo

thaaaat’s a reprot. jic.

[upbeat lark]

I suck for 140 hours before I'm just passable

I believe it took me 60 ish hours before I got my first bounty extract that I truthly count as a win ( as in we competed and I won )

[fervent totem]

i know. .even if i max the graphics i cant see a shit . also why does some people when press E see stuff in orange and me nothing appears on screen beside blue prints?

[upbeat lark]

You press right mouse button

And you also need a bounty on you

[fervent totem]

e + right button?

[upbeat lark]

Yes

Don forget you also need a bounty on you and for it to still have a darksight charge on it

[fervent totem]

alright thanks

also on the map where i know where i have to go or not ?

[upbeat lark]

By default you'll have 5 seconds in a team as you get one

[upbeat lark]

Extraction?

[fervent totem]

yeah

[upbeat lark]

As of recently all extraction is hidden

[fervent totem]

yesterday i died because i was too long on the map.. i didnt know where to go was around circles

[upbeat lark]

It will get revealed to you (in the map) if you interact with a scout map in those scout towers, use a chariot card or take a bounty

[fervent totem]

how u use those cards?

[upbeat lark]

Just left click

[fervent totem]

if i left click i just shoot

[upbeat lark]

Oh

You switch to the card

Leave a consumable slot open

Take the card switch to the card as if you switch to your bombs or syringe and left click

[fervent totem]

ah okay thanks for the tips

[upbeat lark]

It's all fine

[left orbit]

you need a bounty

it’s called dark vision

or The Moon tarot card

Bounty allows you to get "insight" within 75m range btw even if you’re out of seconds

The Moon and dark vision posters don’t give you that, they’re only DV seconds

[fervent totem]

tarot cards have time or active all game after use?

[left orbit]

no: switch with a world item, throw/use that item, take the card and use it, then take your item back

[left orbit]

everything is only active per game

[proud sand]

anyone got this bug too?

[upbeat lark]

Oh yea I forgot you can do that

[left orbit]

except your traits that live until your hunters dies or if you remove them or if it’s a burnt trait and gets used. read the descriptions to know more about how each work (especially burnt traits)

[fervent totem]

okay thanks . also is it better to play solo or with team?

[left orbit]

not the same, so up to you

[upbeat lark]

370 hours is not enough to give proper tips it seems

[proud sand]

recharging the weapon resolve this bug but still sucks

[left orbit]

you give what you can 🙂

and it’s already a lot ❤️

[upbeat lark]

Solo have their own benefits but I'd say being with a team feels nicer

[fervent totem]

i mean for someone that is starting now

[left orbit]

doesn’t matter

do what you prefer

solo is super hard

[whole mist]

Teams. Especially if you can find people to play with besides randoms

[left orbit]

but nothing prevents you from doing it

it’s actually good to learn at your own pace

teaming is deffo easier

and you still get to learn anyways

[upbeat lark]

Learning with friends is more fun to me

And if you're having fun you'll learn faster

[left orbit]

also:

• playing only teams makes you rely on teammates, which hinders playing in solo (on purpose, or when you’re the only one)
• playing only solo makes you forget about your teammates when you play with them

either way....

[fervent totem]

yeah i see people on youtube and i feel i will take years to be half close of that level

[left orbit]

to me it’s a question of choice

just play the way you enjoy the game the most

[wooden ember]

Thats why its good to play like me in teams

I play with my shit as friends that I know I cant rely on

kek

Its ok I love them tho theyre funny

[left orbit]

also playing with free hunters with maximum noise is an option

[wooden ember]

yeah it will take years

[left orbit]

because people will:

• run to you
• ambush you
  but most importantly: you will find them fast

[wooden ember]

Only way to play

we be shootin

[upbeat lark]

i wonder

do you think clash would be a good way to learn

[left orbit]

for weapons, yes

[wooden ember]

eh

[left orbit]

for tactics, not really

because these tactics will be pretty specific to the clash gamestyle

which is meme style

[wooden ember]

For close quarter fights for sure

[upbeat lark]

i guess if youre someone whos not used to the shooter part of an fps but i dont think itll let you learn the small things that are important

[left orbit]

i used clash to learn the bow

[upbeat lark]

like how to deal with ais and soundtraps

[left orbit]

yeah

[fervent totem]

u loose the characters u buy in this game ?

[wooden ember]

The items you have yes if you die w them

[left orbit]

everything you buy with hunt dollars will be lost if you die in game yes

(except hunter with death cheat)

but if you buy with Blood Bonds or through the store with real mony, the cosmetics are unlocked. which does NOT prevent you from buying ("recruiting") a hunter with Hunt Dollars

[fervent totem]

this game is harsh af then. but dlc characters or gamepass characters ?

[wooden ember]

you can play w them as many times as u want u wont lose them on death

only items you buy with hunt dollars

[left orbit]

not really no. it gives you money multiple times. don’t spend on crazy stuff and you’ll be fine.

[fervent totem]

ah okay at least that

and this hunt dollars.. u still get them when u die?

[wooden ember]

you get a portion

[upbeat lark]

you get a bit

50 from clues i belive

[fervent totem]

alright cool at least i dont die in vain

[left orbit]

50 per clue
the looted stuff, however, is lost

[upbeat lark]

and all the money from cash registers, hunters(if you have vulture or when you loot them with full tool/consume slot) and cash bags

[left orbit]

it means that even if you’re on tuff mony, you should at least be able to buy chockes and 2 small vit, with a free hunter

problem is

randoms are pissy

and often don’t want to play with free hunters

[fervent totem]

whats the difference there?

[wooden ember]

free hunters have low tier weapons most of the time

[upbeat lark]

free hunters only have weapons from a predetermined pool and one low tier trait

[fervent totem]

i thought the weapons were the same for all people . only skins would differ

[wooden ember]

well you can play the weapon you want but on a free hunter you get one that the game gives you

[fervent totem]

hum alot to learn i have

[wooden ember]

Yeah

It will suck just dont give up

[left orbit]

it is

it’s just that frnee hunters, as they said, come with predefined weapon pool

so like

bow/hand xbow/marathon/winfield (ranger or whatev)/maynard/romero/springfield/some pistols

1 consumable (firebomb, vit, hive...)

one melee tool and a medkit

[upbeat lark]

and the mele is always a small knife a heavy knife or a duster

i should learn how to use the duster i keep missing

[wooden ember]

hit them

[upbeat lark]

i hit air to their left

[wooden ember]

just use knuckle knife imo

[left orbit]

hit dead center

knuckle knife garbage

consumes too much stam and range is ass

use have dusters 99.9% of the time

[wooden ember]

Not a problem if you have perma stamina

[upbeat lark]

both is stamina efficient isnt it

[left orbit]

well that’s true, but it’s also expensive and i’m close to every penny lol

[left orbit]

not the knukcle

[upbeat lark]

its been like a long time since the last time i use the knucle

[wooden ember]

ngl I dropped knuckle knife for spear completely

[left orbit]

that’s also an option

more efficient per dollar imho

i just don’t like using the spear because i just suck aiming with it

so if i miss the immo with the spear... i’m fucked

[upbeat lark]

i drop those 3 meles for a throwable mele and a cent trauma

[outer iron]

Only reason I don't use the spear is because everyone hypes it up and I'm a contrarian.

[left orbit]

i just bring a hammer

and conduit

[quiet hinge]

what tools do you bring

[random nimbus]

I don't like losing my spear, so I bring a different throwing melee

[uneven flax]

spear's probably more helpful for solos than trios

the only thing spear has going for is killing water devils and immolators

otherwise the axe is enough

but if its a trio i dont care. each can pitch in throwing shit at the immo / water devil and it's pretty much the same outcome

[random nimbus]

A good few of my friends just pennyringer immolators half the time anyway lol

[lofty sinew]

the only thing? the spear is still the best all around tool by far

[uneven flax]

that too. so water devils are the only issue left and they're pretty avoidable

[uneven flax]

outside one shotting immos and water devils what's the advantage of spear vs throwing axe

[late walrus]

well if i throw a spear at 20m i have to account for drop

[random nimbus]

Easier one shot to hunters if you toss it

[late walrus]

if i throw an axe at 20m

i have to pray

[lofty sinew]

higher boss damage. higher damage in general?

[late walrus]

please dennis bless my throwing axe to go in a straight line

throwing axe so shit

throwing it sucks light melee takes shitloads of stam for no reason

[uneven flax]

well pvp wise spear's still better i guess

[uneven flax]

doesnt matter for bosses imo you have 3 axes to chuck at it

[lofty sinew]

idk. i'll grant you i don't really use knives or axes. but spear comes in clutch in cqc pretty regularly too

[late walrus]

deadass prefer throwing knives over axe

ive used them all axes are the worst option

[uneven flax]

yeah better for pvp. it has better reach also

[late walrus]

nothing special to put on the table

[uneven flax]

i dont understand throwing knife

[random nimbus]

One shots armored

I love throwing knives too

[uneven flax]

boy is it un fun to chuck 2 knives to kill a grunt

[random nimbus]

But axes one shotting armored and killing horses anywhere is very nice

[late walrus]

so does the spear

[lofty sinew]

it's just all around heckin handy. so i can understand not wanting to lose it.

[late walrus]

dont have to at all

1 to chest kills a grunt

[uneven flax]

chuck it at a roof hive and you no longer have a spear

[random nimbus]

But knives do not

[late walrus]

if you hit arm it dies from pull out damage

[late walrus]

yeah the special part of knives is having 8 of them lmao

[random nimbus]

I also found out the hard way that throwing knives do NOT kill a hunter with a heavy melee to the head

[left orbit]

med, quad derri, penny derri, flare

[frigid ibex]

I liked when you had to headshot them

[random nimbus]

It does 125 damage

[late walrus]

goes through hellhounds and big groups of grubts much easier

[quiet hinge]

if you miss spear on immo, just penny derr it

[late walrus]

yeah they fucking suck as an actual melee

[random nimbus]

The point is that you're gonna be loud killing them while spear and axes are quiet

[quiet hinge]

also the fact you get all 8 back from a tool box instead of one like axe/spear

[late walrus]

those hives tend to fall

[frigid ibex]

Did you try with assailant

[late walrus]

and if they dont you can. go up there usually

[frigid ibex]

Assailant supposedly actually increase damage on throwing knife

[random nimbus]

With Assailant it does, but I don't like the Assailant melee

[frigid ibex]

Unlike throwing axes

[late walrus]

for armoureds? sure
