Gunfights actually ensue.
I genuinely believe that any long ammo rifle that isn't a single shot shouldn't be in the game.
I hope they'll eventually come out with some seasons or some shit where we only play Compact and Medium ammos
everyone having handguns only would be fun
true, true
what about if they had 2x reload speed?
Think I've said it before but I'm sad i missed the event when bow was introduced, everyone was running around trying to lob arrows at each other. More events that funnels people into using niche weapons would be fun.
I'm sad that event got the bow nerfed into a meme weapon off shitters complaints.
It's still usable but they fricked it up so much for a weapon you almost never see because shotbolt does everything it does but better.
that's an interesting take, i feel like the bow is still a better crossbow if you have hundred hands
poison plus bleed plus USUALLY one shotting at like 30 meters is a fantastic combination, especially for a stealth weapon, plus the arc is substantially better on the bow than shot bolts
I'm an avid bow user but I can tell you it's waaaaaaaay shittier than a crossbow in prettymuch every situation now. The bleed got reduced to medium from heavy and they lowered its damage range to not be a one tap to the torso at distance with hundred hands making it a superfluous perk that actually makes it worse due to increased draw time, they also added much more sway if you're holding ADS on it because apparently people holding angles with that but no other weapon is a problem. All of the secondary ammo types but poison are near useless (frag arrows have terrible explosive range yet cannot one hit and concertina only exist to make people frustrated and leave compounds)
You never see bows after the nerfs because there's no reason to ever use it - shotbolt not only one taps to the torso but it also can pen walls. The bows most effective usage is like a shotgun now except an actual shotgun can hit people through objects which is far more useful. shit I'd even go so far as to say the hand crossbow is infinitely more versatile and just as good at its role except it's a small slot.
It's crazy that they nerfed the bow multiple ways after complaints from console players but then vehemently refuse to take care of other problem weapons in any reasonable way. We seen this exact same approach taken to the flash bomb with multiple compounding nerfs at once that made them functionally useless. not that anyone should care
>not that anyone should care
As far as i'm concerned all flash Black folk should hang.
Flash being dead is perfectly fine in exchange for five straight years of 6* players abusing it for guaranteed kills while ALSO being one of the cheapest consumable in the game. I loved the paper thin excuse people would give too: "it's the only counter against shotguns! I need it, shotguns are too overpowered!!!!!!" my homie how are shotguns even real just walk away from the compound lmao don't fight them on their own terms lmao. People who don't understand that you dont have to play by your opponents rules astound me
It's not like it really matters, everyone will just go back to bringing multiple frag bombs as they're still absolutely insane
The amount of times it kills people through walls or at extreme distances is just stupid
And no, increasing the price does not make a consumable worse Dennis, you haven't balanced shit
I want you to know I played an entire prestige melee and for about...two weeks? prior to the event holding onto it trying to upgrade everything I could to make the battlepass as easy as possible. I dropped to 3 stars at one point and I'm back to 5 stars and I have 11k hunt dollars. Balancing anything around money is so absolutely stupid.
Absolutely, I've been playing Nitro Express Shredder with uppercut or DolchP for months and I've only been gaining money
Balancing around cost is only worth a laugh when a shitty weapon like the drilling ends up costing 500+, since it gives a look into the thoughts on the dev team
Is the Nitro standard ammo now worth taking after the Shredder nerf? Its pen is way worse now right
why the FRICK do you think people took shredder ammo because of the penetration?
shredder still one shots to the chest at 58 meters which is vastly superior to baseline ammo
>45 meters with bonkers pen and arm shot kills up close vs. 58 meters with basically no pen and arm shots never killing
There's definitely a decision to be made now with the ammo types.
That bleed will kill a panicking hunter, especially if they're caught out in the open. You can just run a sidearm with pen. How often do you kill someone through brick? I didn't do it often and I actively tried. No choice at all, Shredder is superior.
>especially if they're caught out in the open.
This is like a solid 30% scenario of forced death vs le 1 in 20 wall random le bang.
I stopped prestiging 2 events ago and I got 100k in storage and I only play events which force me to use dogshit loadouts.
Balancing around money is so fricking stupid because you can play like an absolute rat and not lose any money until you earn back the money you spent on your gear.
Long ammo weapons are what makes this game dull to play at higher ranks, everyone just camps with snipers or automatics.
Just got this game a few days ago. Super fun. Love getting the jump on people and hacking them to bits with the axe romero. Been trying to unlock all the weapons with melee weapons on them since it's so fricking fun, though it's been sorta taxing to get for some of the weapons I want like the winfield or ventrinelli(?) since I'm shit. The revive trait is super annoying though, I can never seem to make it work and it just makes killing others a schizophrenic experience, very unpleasant. The game has also been making me very aware of the aging status of my potato laptop, but I simply can't resist pumping the settings up and running it at like 45 fps, the game is just too pretty. Probably should get an upgrade.
Oh, and I can't find out how to kill Rotjaw. I never seem to have gatorlegs or waxed dynamite when she spawns in, and I can never get any good hits in before being deathrolled into the bayou. Makes me feel like a moron, since the others are pretty dead easy.
The trick to rotjaw is so simple and dumb that I promise you're over thinking it. She always attacks straight forward. So it doesn't matter if she's doing the slow approach or the tackle, once you see it coming just turn and run 90° from it and she misses literally every single time. Then turn around and hit her with melee. It's easier with a stamina shot, but still doable without, you'll just have to sit out of the water and recouperate your stamina a lot.
This, once you learn the pattern she will become easy, bait out charge (she does 3 and lingers a bit after third) then always resurfaces for a bit to swim around and repeat. Only difference is she emerges and tries to bite if you are stacked on her when she's submerged.
Now I just feel stupid. Guess going to the Prometheus School of Running didn't pay off.
Too bad, chud. Crytek is slowly turning this game into cowboy CoD, and there's nothing you can do about it. There WILL be 50 different semi-automatic weapons. That solo you killed WILL be able to continue to revive himself 10 times in a row. Cheaters WILL continue to go unreported because there will never be a replay system added.
And you WILL be happy. Frick you!
There WILL be aim assist added to PC and controller WILL become meta
I think Hunt is PC-centric enough that everybody would throw an absolute shitfit if aim assist was actually that strong. It's not like Apex or CoD where the majority of the playerbase and the devs themselves play on controller. The playerbase is also full of shitters that suck Crytek's dick at times though, so, who knows?

New menu song is cringe
Its like MUH vegana the song
who the frick told this b***h to sing
fricking hell its so fricking bad
id literally rather have a man go DOO DOO DOO DOO
than this "singer" woman do anything
I'd rather listen to a kid go
EH REEEH
The first time i heard her "singing" was Light the Shadow (best song and best event btw.), and the song got absolutely ruined by her dogshit unfitting voice.
Witness is pretty fun for death pact at least for me, you can play detective finding trails of pve kills (stays up decent time so you can tell if a compound has been cleared recently or long since) and it's easier to find player bodies and count them up.
Why tf are the totems so loud when you trigger them?
Anti rat mechanic.
I played for about 6 hours last night and didn’t see get two tapped by a Cyclone once. Seems like if it is strong, anyone who’s used it hasn’t figured it out yet.
Anyone gotten their hands on Scott HV? Thoughts?
Who uses the Schofield?
SPITFIRE CHADS RISE UP
Get out of here you moron
Real talk what do we think the new Wildcard condition is that Fifield mentioned in the update that's coming before the new map/engine?
Thunderstorm? Night rain? Dust storm?
New map is supposed to be modeled after a colorado gold rush town, so I'm speculating snow map with sudden blizzards
I wonder how would they justify it in the lore - so far everything took place in Louisiana, which, to my limited, non murrican knowledge doesn't get snow.
Same way they explain everything. Sculptor did it.
>infernal pact
>immune to catching on fire
>fire damage heals them
>bleeding stops after a second
>restores HP on kills and if a trade occurs they don't die
Why did they make 2 bullet types irrelevant in a single patch and also slap it to the already best pact choice.
Also why are they so obsessed with night maps? Every match 5star+ is nothing but headsmen and pitch black characters.
well black coat is bonus xp and infernal so yeah
at least Cain is tied to the worst pact (demented)
>Demented is the worst
>Not death
moron
>one random trait and a small amount of money per clue
Pretty useless, chances are you’ll get something like ambidextrous or blade seer, and if you’re playing a single bounty match it’s a max of 3 per match
>remedy
Not bad but of the bar-restoring traits across the three pacts it’s the most situational and therefore the worst
>ghoul special effect
Useless
>acolyte
Finding bodies is great to quickly count how many hunters are down during a fight so you don’t have to guess and potentially risk getting downed yourself by someone you thought dead camping. Also helps with getting your max loot from each fight you’re in. Finding dead AI is also handy tracking other teams
>relentless
Self explanatory. Being able to be stacked 3 times makes it even better
>vulture special effect
Being able to spend a pledge mark to restore health by looting is incredibly handy during and after a fight and is nearly as good as Infernal’s rampage trait (objectively the strongest one) for teams and solos
Sorry anon, but Death beats Demented in most ways. Infernal is easily better than both though
Not to mention:
Death Pact + Relentless + Necro self + Resilience = death ambush attacks.
the only thing that saves demented for me, is that remedy is the only team wide restoration trait, and you can use it on the trait totems on supply points.
witness also fills empty chunks
>spend 2 points for one health bar or spend 2 points for up to 4 health bars
>How do we make Hunt worse
>Add a semi auto Veterli
>Make the event be even more cheese
I think I will just uninstall

It's getting unbearable
Is there a way to disable the confirmation prompts about discarding contraband? I'm so fricking sick of having to confirm the deletion of every single spyglass, fusee and compact springfield off
every free hunter
I wish you could, so I don't need to deal with confirming every healthchunk after respeccing.
Crytek loves wasting time.
Refund the chunks then go back to the "overview" tab to add them back, that page doesn't make you accept a confirmation every time
Yes its fricking stupid... Actually now that I fricking think about it, what's the point of the confirmation message on the respec page since if you do so by mistake you could just refund the god damned health chunk for free again? Fricking krauts I swear to god
Likely a carry over from the old system, though I agree with you in that it ought to have been updated with the rest of it
Oops I made the assumption that the patch notes were actually accurate. Quick check in the shooting range showed that Shredder still one shots through everything up to and including brick walls. I figured if they were nerfing penetration they would actually make it noticeable, but if you can still 1 shot through everything then you're right, there's no point in not using it.
Bleeding needs to deal damage in increments, i.e it ticks down like normal but only applies damage after it has reached a certain threshold, say 25 hp, and even if you have 1hp left you will not die until it ticks down 25hp. Before this event there was literally no reason not to use bleed ammo over standard in any weapon that has it available.
>using bleed ammo
>using poison ammo
>using fire ammo
WHEN INFERNAL EXISTS
LOL
LMAO
Infernal being fricking immune to every status ailment with an antidote shot is pretty bonkers. I thought their event trait balance sense was getting better since rotjaw but I guess fricking not
also you can stack vigor and stand in the fire

Do hellfire bombs hurt you if youre inferno with the trait?
Is this game as punishing as Tarkov? I was hoping to play it solo
not really, death and loot is much less important here than in tarkov
Not really, you die and lose all your shit just as easily but money is super easy to come by so it takes no time at all to recoup the loss of even the most expensive guns.
There's a few things in the game to help make solo experience a bit easier (mmr scaling and a few perks that solos benefit from) but at the end of the day you're still at a disadvantage, especially if you're learning the game.
I'm new-ish to the game (about to prestige for the first time), mainly playing it solo and I'm a 3 star brainlet - still have more fun than I had in Tarkov (which I tried solo and gave up after 30h). There's a few things this game has that make it easier:
>during your first 11 levels of your account (called "Bloodline" - goes to lvl100) you can't loose your hunters
>you can revive and be revived by your teammates (dunno how it is in Tarkov - haven't played in a team)
>at Bloodline rank 29 you unlock a trait called Necromancer, which allows you to revive your teammates from a distance, or more importantly, when playing solo - self revive yourself up to four times
>skill based matchmaking gives you a chance of facing same-skill level players. As a complete potato so far during my ~100h I only met other braindead players. I've heard that some higher skilled players intentionally get themselves killed to downrank and face easier opponents, but so far I haven't ran into one.
Plus as others have said, if you don't go all out on loadouts in terms of money then even after a loosing streak it's relatively easy to bounce back financially. Even if you go completely broke the game always gives you the option to hire a free hunter equipped with low tier (but still lethal) gear.
First 99 levels are in a separate match making queue too which (as far as I'm aware anyway) only matches you with other players in those first 99 levels. Once you hit 100 you're thrown in with the rest of the players
Then I don't know if it's broken or you're bullshitting me but I've been matched against prestiged players even when I was in the "new player protection" period (1 to 11). Unless the spectator mode and team summary are broken and display it incorrectly because that's where I'm getting this info. Like, my very first death in this game happened during my first match and it was by a thrice prestiged, level 70-something player with a hand crossbow + poison ammo.
It'd be lvl 100 due to the amount of P0Lvl100 players out there, I think the system fricks up when hunters party up with non protection players
prestige doesnt really mean anything.
theres no difference between 2stars and 5stars until the highest point of 5 star.
they are all mentally moronic.
5star to 6 star is like 2-3x the size in mmr difference of 1-4star combined.
there is the off chance you might be playing with good players with their ui disabled who are making videos for the video awards thing that have died a lot recently and dropped to lower stars if they are attempting to do dumb shit in their only in hunt showdown field videos.
Theres also people who purposely die over and over in the battleroyale mode to derank so they can get "easier" games at 3-4 star rank. They are homosexuals.
you can also sell the shit traits back for 1 less upgrade point they they are worth and buy other traits with them if you didnt know.
I cant remember if its lvl 100 or prestige 2.
But I do remember that if you do exceedingly well, youll be unable to queue trios and will be forced to play solo or with friends only as it will not be able to find matches for you.

I'm actually incredibly interested in Tarkov as a Hunt player, but I refuse to get Tarkov because it's been in fricking beta/early access for- what, almost a decade now or some shit? Tarkov is literally never getting a full release, is it?
there's some legal/business reason they do that, fortnite is the same
i enjoy playing randoms just for the trip-to-the-zoo effect. I was being chased by a dude with a bat, round a corner where my team mate is standing, presumably he hears the guy running and swinging the bat right behind me, and he pulls out a beetle and fricking throws it, and I actually think he fricking saw the guy, as he pulls out a beetle and fricking throws it and immediately gets clubbed like a seal. i couldnt stop laughing.
>join a match with randoms
>they do the first clue and then turn around and leave the map
sigh
Where did the wildcard contract go?
Because giving players the option to choose on what maps they want to play would make the game fun and we can't have that. Same goes for the increased rewards for playing the Wildcard contracts.
Remember:
Pain good.
Fun bad.
Once again it's like the rain event, people who don't want rain gets it and those who want it more often gets it less since the map pool is larger.
there is a bug that causes my audio to snuff out like i'm dead but i'm fricking not. i can hear my running and melee attacks and shit but a hive can scream right next to me and I barely hear it. not sure what causes it, and usually after a few minutes it corrects itself. dennis pls
Uh guys theres no hackers in hunt showdown. I clearly heard him through the floor and shot at him through the hay and 2 walls cause I knew he was there okay? I heard him with my 150m away ears that give me bat echolocation abilities that pierce through buildings. Maybe try running death pact and you can see the truth.
https://streamable.com/muw4qy
That's a medium/compact bullet which means that guy shot at you from the other side of that window where your head just very clearly walked past and the audio fricked up directional cues because it's coming through multiple holes in the building, he wouldnt be able to pierce all the walls behind you.
when you're panicking at the bottom of the stairs wondering where you got shot from you can VERY clearly hear the footsteps of the guy that did it nearby at the barn. The game does in fact have a hacker problem at the absolute pinnacle but this isn't one of those cases, this is just a skill issue
Pretty sure the guy is being moronic on purpose, the thing that completely killed off entire threads on /wsg/ and /gif/
how do you know thats not just a different person?
if what youre saying is true that defeats the entire point of the fricking game if you cant trust directional sound cues from audio since the entire game is centered on audio.
thats like blaming the driver when his car drives randomly in reverse and runs a kid over because too much light was shining on it on a hot afternoon.
because you fricking idiot, i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're not baiting here, the BULLET HOLE THAT YOU SEE, RIGHT THERE IN THAT WEBM is a bullet that is incapable of penetrating several wooden walls, which are what are behind you. That shot would be quite literally impossible, even with FMJ, for you to be shot at from, behind. Games don't have perfect audio files all the time, you're having a skill issue.
the words you use dont mean what you think they mean
you should use different words that mean things you actually know
this anon is moronic disregard him, that was most definitely a long bullet.
Most likely a spot you can de-render, if your settings are on low and you're far enough away with a sniper scope you can de-render walls.
Or he was just shooting at the compound and almost got lucky

None of these motherfrickers stay dead in this event, how is a rat suppose to loot a battleground without getting jumpscared by every fricker getting up. Gonna have to put down traps before i even loot.
Black person
Are you 3 or 4 stars? I'm pretty good so I'm always in 5 or 6 star lobbies when I'm solo but the amount of whining about solo revive on the subreddit is insane. I have seen a handful of solos alone or with a team and I don't understand why people have so much trouble dealing with solo bodies even with the extra burn time. Letting a solo get back up and getting your ass kicked 1v3 again a guy missing health has got to be the most embarrassing shit ever.
Forgot to clarify that i am also solo just that some rounds i just enjoy clearing out pve quests and loot the bodies of compound fight afterwards, had one guy pop up twice and 2 solo as well another match while i was busy scrounging. Gives me a heart attack each time. In a trio i don't have that much problem with solos we usually make sure to trap and burn (if possible) any suspects that might be solo.

So whats the best way to kill people with doors anons?
I've encountered some pretty vicious doors in my travels, but almost all of them were stationary. If a door were giving me the business, I suppose I'd try rotating.
so it hits your arm and takes less damage?
good strat
I think we shouldnt brain storm defensive manuevers for doors. I dont want to help people. I want to hurt them with the door.

I have a feeling that all of these are the same player, and if so, i'm sorry to tell you this, but you're just a dogshit player.
If you're so dedicated to hating the game, just fricking quit playing it, man, nobody wants to see your dogshit gameplay where you b***h about trivial things that are normal in it. Your trade isn't even egregious, it's well within normal windows, stop crying and maybe you'll see improvement.

so cyclones aren't everywhere as predicted. everyone should have it unlocked by now...
I think everyone that tried it came to the same conclusion: it's a 4 shot officer carbine. Not much fire behind the smoke on this one.
I mean you could also now roll a 87 uppercut medium with a full slug shotgun
so its a decision over RPM or Stability
it doesnt matter what gun you pick when every other game is 3 man pubstomps of chinese hackers with 3ktd
unlocked but i'll probably see next week when i have to do the weekly chores.
I don't think I've encountered a single one yet, and I myself am still quite a few levels away from it. I imagine like the short centennial, krag bayonet and slate riposte it will just be another event filler variant everyone forgets about while they continue stacking every inventory slot with uppercuts.
>you must deal 250 dmg with the crossbow
>shotbolt a guy in the chest

I hate this shit.
I bought this game recently cause frick it why not and ive been having fun. I just had a game where I died super early so I went to go make breakfast and then revive and see what I can do only to die again instantly. I was gone for almost half an hour. You guys are frickin commited to keeping people dead.
That's a thing at very low and very high elo, if you started playing recently you're still probably in the subhuman lobbies where the players are VERY 'special'
The match ended with no bounty bosses being killed. Sure was something. Necromancer is pretty great though. Also not sure how MMR works in this game. Completed my "placement" games with like 1 bounty steal and 2 player kills which got me 3/5 on MMR stars.
So prestige 0 rank 1-11 is your training wheel placement matches, rank 12-99 is newbie island where it tries to only match you against other prestige 0 sub 100s, you'll get a lot of empty or partial lobbies UNLESS you queue with other players, queueing with someone who isn't in the containment zone will place you into regular matches. Once you hit rank 100 for the first time, you'll be put into the general population queues from then on and play against relatively normal people, unless you frick around and drop to 2 star land which is a bizarre twisted land of confusion and insanity.
Alright. Ya im getting sub 12 player games a fair bit. Though I have been killed by a prestige 8 player once.
Crytek may have changed it to letting you queue gen pop if the alternative is an empty lobby, when I was new back in late 2020 my first 100 levels had a ton of empty lobbies
You could get fully empty lobbies? That seems like sort of a waste. Though no I havent gotten a fully empty one. Always see at least one other player.
also if you do extremely well with near a 3ktd youll be unable to get matches with anyone and have to play solo or battleroyale quickplay or invite friends until you get to prestige and put in the normal matches and can queue with randoms again
>drop to 2 star land which is a bizarre twisted land of confusion and insanity.
no longer true
2* land is infested with 3-4* solotroons clubbing newseals
Solotroons need to literally 41% themselves, fricking Black persontek
I have a buddy that does this and it's really quite laughable. he seal clubs teams when he plays solo, but the moment he plays in trios with us he crumbles against the worst players i've ever seen in my life. We were trying to teach a brand new player how to play the game, so i was on a smurf at 4* so the newbie wouldn't play at 6* with me and i would get 7 or 8 kills a match but the fricking moment i died both the newbie and the seal clubber would just fold, solo seal clubbers are moronic, man
Im level 15 and am being matched against prestige 80s. Send help.
Just play trios you tard. There are soo many solo subhumans you would be an idiot to play solo yourself.
nta, but I hope you meant pre defined trios and not random trios. Because the latter is either just three solos that happened to spawn at the same place or (if you're lucky) you'll get one semi-competent partner and one self propelled chaos bomb that follows you around.
>when you queue for random trios
>they will sit in the lobby for 25 mins raging cause you wont ready up
>tfw 20 secs in I had already launched another game
>come back half an hour later they are still in here raging
that's actually a brilliant troll
Its only fair since me and the other random are actually trying to play and hes a lvl 100 on his like 40th prestige being an butthole taking a 1 shot weapon with silenced baby corn shooters.
he cant even use a loadout or even by his slots full of shots.
Hes gonna get shot at by a mosin and do what stand in the street shooting bullets 25 feet over the guys head and he'll just look back at him and start spinning around in circles screaming over mic AAAHHH OOOO EEEEEE OOOOOOF
Frick those people man
i want to play video games not frick around.

Im new too and solo. The grab clues and shit from a distance talent is pretty great. For alot of clues you can grab them from outside the area. But ya as that post above shows some people are willing to wait forever for the kill.

As a solo it lets you grab clues from outside aggro range.

I fricking hate that every single fricking game i have to fight against fricking people from china and brazil that have 180 fricking ping and they hit me after they are already dead and dont even fricking appear on my screen when they attack before im already hit.
this fricking shit is ridiculous
ban those frickers to their own servers or make a 150+ping only lobbies
make them wait to play alone with each other

i hate to keep denying to copeposter
but spectator is notoriously dogshit and won't even show somebody scoping in if they do it too quick
watching china/aus players from US you see them fire literally a second after they've shot on their screen and the bullet impact you see will be far off their client side registration
then why even have it?
why have any of these things if the answer is repeatedly:
"Uh well...It actually doesnt work as intended and what you see visually is wrong so you have to have someone manually explain how it actually works and also mechanically its wrong and you can hipfire a scoped rifle from your hip because frick you programming in hipfire randomization is too hard. Also what the server sees is a 3rd different thing and spectator sees is a 4th different thing and the chinese person's 200ping causes a 5th different viewpoint of the events than what took place in front of your own eyes. Oh and if we add replays the replay would be a 6th different thing because nobody at crytek can program something correctly. But let me explain why you not magically knowing about the deluge of shitty inconsistencies that reside in this broken as frick game is actually your fault and not crytek's for not having any level of consistency within anything not even a basic normal game mechanic like not being able to hipfire scoped rifles at 200m."
Im beginning to suspect that youre a dev because only a self-interested bootlicker would defend such horrendous fricking lack of professionalism over the home depot mexican level of craftsmanship holding together this fricking game.

>Why does this game that fills the niche of being clunky, awkward, and intentionally different from other shooters not play like call of duty?????
The charm of hunt showdown is that there's so much depth to the game, so much mysticism behind the mechanics, so much of a skill ceiling, that even when you've sunk a considerable amount of time into learning the mechanics, there are still new things to pick up on.
A well adjusted person would be humble and learn these mechanics from those more experienced from them, or decide that the game is too complicated and move on to Warzone II. You seem to enjoy staying dogshit at the game and whining about it on this general more than playing it
Thats now how skill ceilings work.
Something being mechanically broken doesnt make its part of a skill ceiling.
Youre trying to make an argument that youre better at basketball than the other guy because you purposely knew ahead of time that the floor in a certain spot is uneven and you lure him over there purposely so he falls down and gets hurt, so you don't actually have to be better at basketball than him. Youre not outplaying him. He's getting injured on your sabotaged playing field. You're essentially cheating through bug abuse.
>mfw the first people to figure out rocket jumping, bunny hopping, trimping, wavedashing, CS nade throws etc... were all cheaters
Thankfully all of the rules are written out for you and covered by 100s of youtubers in Call of Duty, go play that instead please! 🙂
Those are mostly all mechanical parts of the game not things being abused in an unintentional way. Most of the references are also backed up by the quake guy is a cracked out super soldier with magical rune powers on top of his boosted body.
These are just cowboys with zombies who at most have a spiritual connection with the spooky energy.
Do you have a lag switch too since by your definition ping abuse is "part of the game mechanics" lol

>those things were accepted by the community as a neat and difficult thing to accomplish not a skilless bug abuse where any rational person would not expect to happen via an unintended nonsensical illogical action like looking up in 3rd person next to a wall in arma 2 allowed you to interact with objects through walls

Really good channel, it's what got me into melee
Firebombs feel so bad now, they already felt pretty shit for corpse removal when people can just choke them out or salveskin through it but now with people also being burn immune from pacts there's rarely good combat uses and with rain popping up with decent frequency they almost always feel like wasted inventory slots. Always feels better to just spend a little more for a concertina, it may not take a solo out of the fight permanently but at least you know it'll tack another 10-20 seconds onto any attempt they make to chase after you, plus probably cost them some of their healing.

I swear to god this game's community is even worse than Tharkov.
outsourcing to the hivemind because i have the mind of a woman. Are the YS clan cheating? I can never actually tell, but am always super suspicious of any death that i've ever had to them
like everyone else I have no evidence, but I am discord friends with a guy who is deep in cheat software dev/sales communities and in a few exclusive discord servers where VIPs get their customer service. I asked him once if there were hacks for hunt: showdown because that was the only FPS I play and wanted to know what I was up against. he said of course, and while we talked about it he laughed and recalled there was a "big customer" who commissioned a few different versions of the hunt esp program with stripped down features, and apparently they were an "organization" that would distribute the gimped versions to their members, but seniority or "contributing" more to the group monetarily would earn you the right to use the better version
he never said names but I'd bet my last fricking dollar that's YS
Yeah, i get that feeling as well, at 6* it seems like all i'm playing against are those BB homosexuals and YS and while BB is just a bunch of zoomers who are either black or think being called black is a compliment, I only get the feeling that one or two of them aren't legit, with YS i have never in my entire life died to them and thought "huh, that seemed like a real kill"
>who commissioned a few different versions of the hunt esp program with stripped down features
This actually fits with my experience with them.
Some of them are blantant. Others are missing fricking weird easy shots. Others have god-tier positional awareness with obvious esp. Others have esp but fricking stupid as frick mechanics. Like I fricking melee them yet then they are fricking like shooting me from across the field in a random window as I run by and shit.
they are clearly hacking
they very obviously know youre at a compound without making any noise and shoot at you from the edge of it or even further and then magically see you no matter what weird unusual place you peek from. You can try switching buildings blocking line of sight and then climbing some stairs halfway and peeking over the stairs in the middle of the stairs because why would they look here but NOPE they prefire you.
everyone in 6* is using or queuing with cheats, especially in NA.
it's obvious when people peek and instantly fire. You'll also confirm this by pretending to peek but counterstrafing at the last second. Most 6* are morons who will prefire your peek only to shoot at absolutely nothing
i've been playing hunt on and off since 2017 and was 6* before the past few events when Hunt's playerbase really took off. Now i'm consistently 5* and I cope by never playing after 8pm EST.
there are no server replays and EAC doesn't do anything. It's easier to quarantine the top x% with strict matchmaking brackets than to address the widespread and blatant cheating issue.
How is MMR calculated? Ide rather not go up to the 5/6 much if I can help it. Dont suppose I could just load into a game and have a grunt kill me a few times with free hunters to drop?
You have to die to people, mobs and self damage won't count, most people seem to do it in quickplay which I guess is called soul survivor now
just play the game normally and work on improving. Sandbagging makes you hate yourself more than the game.
Yes they cheat but cheaters aren't infallible. Cheats don't do anything against a pitcher'd frag or having them waste shots in an inter-compound kerfuffle. Play Hunt in short bursts or avoid times when cheater clans play.
>rat a hunter to get necro/reroll for it

I'd love to be in that discord call man. I realize I just created one of the ridiculous rat horror stories that get posted in these threads, we basically camped in bushes for 20 literal minutes to ambush people and it was stupid as frick and absolutely should not have worked at all but it did lol
>Hit someone with 1 shell and 5 bornheim shots
>No shot over 13 meters away
>They live and kill me
Oh ya I frickin hate this game.
Deserved for using the Bornheim honestly, that thing is complete useless garbage
It's funny that they released the silenced variant but didn't actually make any changes to any of the bornheims stats, because in its current state it might as well not be in the game
Im still pretty new to the game. Ive been loving the caldwell 76 double barrel. It fails me sometimes but not often. Though the secondary has been buggin me. I dont really like any of the pistols. Been using the bornheim in case the 76 fails me or I just wanna """suppress""" someone kinda far away. What pistol would you recommend?
The "best" choice would probably be an Uppercut, but it's a little pricy. It's a great backup for a shotgun as it gives you range to fight people with rifles
If you like more spammy weapons, the nagant officer is much better than the Bornheim, more shots, more damage
A normal conversion pistol with fanning is also good, and so is the Pax/Schofield
default Caldwell Conversion Pistol with FMJ
schofield
also you dont have to also be 1 big gun and 1 pistol
you can also play 1 long and 1 short weapon
say a bow and a springfield compact with bleed or Winfield M1876 Centennial Shorty
the only thing you want to avoid for the most part is compact shotguns unless you have slugs unlocked
their range is garbage at their effective range without slugs, youd be better off with a bat or a sword
its always preferred shotgunwise to go long shotgun main with secondary for long range over long range with shortrange shotgun.
Run Nagant Officer or Caldwell New Army (if you don't have Officer yet).
Rival+Officer/NewArmy is a trusty solid loadout.
I like taking the lemat because it gives you a few extra shitgun shells and the rival seems to get fewer than every other shitgun for some reason. lemat can't spam to suppress people like many other compact pistols but it has 9 shots before reload which has been useful to me for keeping pressure on people as I reposition or move from cover to cover
It normaly depends on what your primary is.
Shotgun or spammy rifle like a winfield? A high hitting good range pistol will do
A long bolt action rifle? Get a spammy pistol like nagant.
However, with regen shots being the new hotness, spammy light pistols fall of because you can potentially outheal it inbetween shots.
So high hitting pistols like pax, conversion or sparks are your friend.
If it wernt for how easy it is to cuck poison, poison ammo would be the go to now with regen shots being so good.

Just a theoretical, but what if Rival+Sparks Pistol?
We all know Shitguns don't hit for shit at range, but it's the amount of pellets that a Rival can shit out in an instant.
So the idea is to upper body tag somebody with sparks pistol and quickswap into rival and unload it, since there is a decent chance that at least 1 pellet will hit the target, that should take off the remaining ~1HP no?
> Relying on 2 gimmicky oneshot weapons, so that way if you aren't laser-accurate 24/7 you die like a moron
THINK ANON, THINK! You're supposed to pair a shotgun with the Nagant officer, the Spitfire, or any other pistol that has a high rate of fire so you can score easy follow-up shots when you inevitably miss your opening volley.
>laser-accurate
my lil Black, the entire point is to NOT be laser-accurate
Yeah okay, whatever man. Let's see you clutch things out with the fricking Sparks pistol when you're out of ammo for your shotgun and getting rushed by some maniac duo that snuck into your compound when you had your back turned for 0.5 seconds
I like doing sparks pistol + specter flechette. I like to take FMJ on the sparks pistol for that build tho, you lose a chunk of muzzle velocity, but that lets it do the full 149 on body shots out to 30m and comboing someone who though they were well outside of shotgun range is very amusing
Hey man, that's the response i was looking for.
Sounds like a very interesting angle to play with, like you are trading the wallpenetration potential of the shotgun for the basically guaranteed bleed and then finish them off with the FMJ.
Have you been running this during the event?
Since everybody seems to run Infernal and that makes them basically bleed immune, i imagine it's less effective.
How are your experiences?
these people have been sitting in the lobby for over 20 mins already in anger cussing at me raging they plan to sit for an hour more because Im a 6 star and I dont want to play with a 0.8ktd 4star and im guessing his friend
not him but the majority of people arent even using the perks from what I can tell. many people are also hard ignoring the totem things and just using them as enemy detection beacons.
they actually sat and waited for the entire hour or more. they were gone the next time i checked back
I've only played it once during this event: https://streamable.com/m1hs5f
you're right it's certainly not as good right now because a lot of people are bleed immune, but it can still be a good time. unfortunately my random team mates ran outside and got clapped, and I was doing my best against 6 people but could never find time to revive and every time I'd land a shot on someone it seemed like someone else would land a shot on me and I'd have to take cover and heal instead of following up. lost that game, but felt like I put up a good fight. I've also noticed flechettes seem to have a different damage curve compared to buckshot. They certainly do less up close (although they can still 1 shot enemies if they're up in your shit) but they seem to do quite a bit more damage at the 30-40m range where buckshot just tickles people, if it even hits them
In fact I'm going to go into the shooting range and test the loadout to see the max distance I can combo people on torso shots. will report back.
Very based, thanks for the response fren
ok it exceeded my expectations. with regular ammo on the sparks pistol it will consistently combo at 50m. with FMJ it will consistently combo at 60m, but the problem is past 60m the flechette spread is unreliable and the damage it deals inconsistent. I could sometimes combo the dummies at 65m with FMJ but it certainly wasn't something I'd bet on
but at that point...why not just shoot them 2 times in the chest with literally any real gun
why not just play mosin dolch every single game
c&k slugs with the new uppercut*
It's all good in theory mate but at the end of the day you're losing valuable penetration and honestly if you're at this level of theory crafting without realising it's not a good idea then you're not at the level to be hitting a single shot pistol in order for this win condition to function. Here's what you do:
Always bring Caldwell conversion pistol with fmj. It mogs all other pistols with its ammo reserve, it's dirt cheap, it'll one tap hunters missing 50hp, it has a high effective range covering you for medium-long distance engagements. For your shotgun you bring either the spectre or the rival, depending on your preference in combat. Spectre has longer sustainability in a fight whilst rival has higher burst potential, in my experience there's arguments for either, though with the rival you're losing out on ammo. Arguments can be made for using the lemat which has slightly less damage for slightly more ammo, which if you find yourself constantly running out then it might be a good pick for you.
no
Enjoy three star, loser
>inb4 low mmr cope
Careful, anon. Don't make the 3 stars mad by pointing out the fact that their weirdo/off-meta loadouts will make them have to work twice as hard to secure kills
even his loadout is shitty and stupid
id go bleeding springfield compact for $138 and a bow and do the same thing better and for ONLY 3 EASY PAYMENTS OF $19.95
Those are pretty good results, thanks for the effort fren
I'll try to run this combo, seems like fun
>all this bad advise in the thread
Kek you guys don't even play the game do you?
This, who the frick is ever going to take Flechette?
morons who got lucky once and think it's good
yeah flechette is dog shit
its never been more dog shit with inferno.
you lose basically every shotgun range fight against every other 1 shot
I like the bat
It's so much better than it has a right to be.
It hits almost as hard as the world sledge, but 1/5th the stam drain. Crazy.
So I died waited like 4 mins revived myself died to the traps they put on me now I cant revive again. What the frick happened? I still have health bars im just not allowed to revive? The frick happened?
did the server timeout?
No I dont think so. Im not insanely annoyed since it was a new hunter but frick I dont know what happened. Maybe I died too fast? I clicked revive and my duded died instantly and I wasnt given the option to revive again. Pretty grumble inducing to be sure I had gotten 4 kills that match only to lose it there. Oh well.
i wish the penny derringer didnt have a sawn off barrel it'd look cooler
it's funny tho i like bringing it
Kind of a dumb question since it would be boring to do but would just farming the zombies and monsters around the map be "worth it" xp and money wise? Ive had games where I was certain I last dude alive so I could had just gone site to site killing everything but didnt. I wonder how effective it would be if you did it though.
>but would just farming the zombies and monsters around the map be "worth it" xp and money wise?

Last hits on meatheads
youd be better off doing quickplay and running around blowing up meatheads or last shooting meatheads with guns you want to level.
most people are pvp and bounty holder chasing allowing you free reign over all the meatheads and lots of weapons to find and try.
If youre last person alive after wiping everyone, its better to split up as you do the remaining boss pathing and extract pathing and kill everything you see on different paths on the way to the boss and extract.
Whenever you play with a team and they get exp for a weapon you also get the exp for that weapon.
>get necromancer

just play the game normally.
the only resource you're wasting is your own time. Buy a legendary and you can usually respec one or two perks you want.
majority of exp comes from killing enemy hunters and bosses. Even meatheads are worth less than a single hunter

woah take your pills poonboy ur heckin goin wild!
Queer c**t
honestly I wish theyd add aimbot assist like apex to this game so my fricking teammates would at least be able to engage a fricking target
every game of hunt feels like im either playing against people using esp shit or pubstomps with shredders and mosins. The rest of the community makes up my teammates that dont even want to try and their entire kit is worth $37 and if this were any other game we would never even play together because theyd be bronze or silvers at best and Id never fricking see them ever.
The mmr system is so fricking bad. They need to make everyone 1-3 stars and make the jump to 4 and 5 star huge.
The way it is its all masters playing with fricking bronze and silvers. Everyone's rank is so hyper inflated its fricking insane.
Some fricking butthole with a 0.6 or a 0.8 ktd has no fricking business being in my 5 star game. Hes actually moronic. He doesnt kill anyone. He just fricking dies. Sometimes to NPCs. Every single time to the boss if I let him fight it alone even though hes prestige 62.
Its not just this game either man. Every game is just so bad now. Devs dont care anymore. Its all just battlepasses and dlc shit. They dont care about balance or making the game feel good. They just want to force everyone into these MUH STARS GO UP aspect. But my shit never goes up cause im already at the top and so my experience in games is just miserable because im out of the rat loop that everyone else gets reward and punished at le random intervals or whatever. Im always on outlier for these mechanics so almost every single time im punished. I play hunt its a 1v9. I play apex my teammates die in 20s and insta leave and im left to play by myself for 40 fricking minutes. I play a battleroyale and I have to crawl in the grass for 40 fricking mins cause my team dies. Multiplayer games are just this punishment experience if youre any good at them and if youre not good at them its this die-leave-die-leave constant loop of 1 interaction that I guess people enjoy?
I just got killed by butcher through a wall...
with a fireball?
No it was a melee hit. I was outside and just traded as soon as I got up he smacked me through the wall. First time ive felt truly robed in this game.
yeah he can do that lunging attack far. I had him hit me outside a doorway and light me on fire and i stepped on a ladder and tried to put the fire out and it instead climbed on the ladder.
Are shotguns just bad? The more I play the game the less I think they are worth using. Alot of times I can hit someone near pointblank the damage screen shows I hit them all over and they only take like 60 damage. At that point ide rather just use a fanning revolver. Sure at absolute point blank they one shot but so does the baseball bat. They are kind of fun to use but no other weapon type feels like im letting jesus take the wheel like when im using the slate.
>are shotguns bad
No, as long as you're using anything but the terminus or sawn off terminus/spectre without slugs
Romero's cheap and strong but lacks potential for multiple tangos in a single engagement in a short period of time. Rival picks up on this by giving you two weaker shots (still capable of one shitting hunters albeit at a shorter range) but you now have a second shot immediately after your first to either finish off a hunter/kill a second. Spectre gives you good sustain over a period of time though it's rate of fire is less than the rival between shots. Terminus is a garbage gun, with levering it does create a wall of lead but it's too unreliable in my opinion, slate isn't that great when the spectre exists for significantly cheaper. Crown and king combines the strengths of spectre and rival. Slugs are a sidegrade where you need to nail your shots. Famous YouTuber Cornf does a good video on slugs.
This guy is correct on all but a couple aspects.
the slate is an objective upgrade on every single thing the spectre does with the only downside being a +/- 1 meter diference in one shot kill distance, it fires faster, has higher ammunition count in the magazine, and doesn't rely on bulletgrubber to succeed, and for the most part with shotguns fire rate is king, at maximum ohko distances being unreliable, so it's just better to shoot as fast as possible. Slugs are, in my opinion, absolutely mandatory on every shotgun possible, they increase the distance at which you will reliably ohko a player to the chest, making weapons such as the lemat and lemat carbine EXTREMELY effective because they no longer have dogshit pellet spread. Another funny interaction is slugs tend to increase the distance at which any shotgun will ohko, for instance, they turn the crown and king into the longest reaching shotgun in the game, capable of killing to the chest at 15.5 meters. The only downside slugs have is they can get expensive (who the frick doesn't have money lmao) and to my knowledge there isn't a single slug that can 1 shot to the arms at any distance, but as long as you don't have parkinsons this shouldn't ever be a problem consistent enough for you to not take them.
Shotguns have considerable range, but the crosshair doesn't align at all with the spread of the buckshot, which is what leads to frustration. You're just missing, but you can miss with a hunter completely inside of your crosshairs which is what can lead to frustration.
I CANT DRAW CROSSHAIR RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS HARDDDDDDDDDDD

Slate slugs + uppercut carried me to 6*, don't see a reason to run anything else if you wanna use a shotgun.

Just hopped into duos with a fren and absolutely smoked 3 teams with just fanning.
When will this dogshit get nerfed/deleted.
I don't think there's any chance they nerf or delete playing with friends
Damn
Gettin close to my first prestige. I have reunlock all the weapons right? Do I also have to reunlock variants and ammos or do those come back when I get the weapon back? Like if a gun has poison ammo as an unlock will I get the ammo when I get the gun or do I have to get the gun and unlock the poison ammo again as well?
yes you have to unlock everything again
Uck. Ill miss you slate with slugs wont be seeing you again for a long time.
Nup everything, currently not worth it. If you decide to anyway, make sure you pick random legendary every time you can
Ill probbably do it at least once. If you get the legendary can it be hunters as well or just weapon skins?
Any legendary item (including the spyglass)
*Any legendary item you could purchase with blood bonds. You won't get past event or DLC legendaries from prestige reward
Feel that's important to specify for newer players
Well I decided to do it. Got this cute little derringer which I guess is one of the best things I could had gotten since I toss on the derringer from time to time. Dont think ill prestige again though. Losing everything sucks so frickin hard. Especially the variants. Like ok I have to reunlock the guns but really I gotta reunlock the variants and ammo types? What a pain in the ass.
yes it is universally agreed upon that prestiging is a waste of time and universally unfun.
Quite literally all they needed to do was make it so prestiging happened like it did in black ops 2, where every time you prestiged you got a token that would allow you to permanently unlock a specific weapon and all attachments for it, forever, even through prestiges. it made the grind far easier and worth, instead of this horseshit
Ya its a shame but I felt like rolling the dice and I think given the mountain of crap I could had gotten I lucked out. Still I dont think I can do without my slate for this long ever again.
I treat prestiging as a new ''playtrough''
where I focus on a single weapon for the entire thing instead of just going with my bread and butter loadout that I know i'll do well with
>best cocnept skins that actually fit the settings get rejected
>here are some more wacky doodle doo cage people
No one's going to buy skins that just look good, they need to give them a mechanical advantage like having stupid shit around their head and shoulders to make aiming for headshots ambiguous at long range
I pick Phantom just for the shinning white cloak alone
they dont know me son
Lulu is the best skin because the enemy has to accept they just got killed by a common prostitute.
devs just scared to enable attractive white females
I wouldn't mind prestiging if I didn't have to spend 10 matches wasting vit shots. If I didn't have to unlock the sub types for usables and tools I would keep prestiging.
yeah fricking like 10 matches of just straight suffering and being gimped to have shots and throwing axes forcing yourself to use the combat axe or find and carry an axe around is fricking aids.
they said in the 2024 roadmap after the engine upgrade they're looking at overhauling the prestige system and giving it new rewards. Hopefully it'll be something interesting in the near future.
>2 tiers from getting the fireman
>run out of challenges
>dont feel like actually running around collecting shit mid game
Spider got cute little halloween socks on, i might bother giving her a visit.
havent played this in a few months and coming back i just realize how shit the game has become over time, solo revive is still cancer, rain is just annoying, still too much AI (even though nobody plays this shit for the pve), servers and hitreg still garbage. that bug where sound gets all weird when you reconnect is STILL in the fricking game (and there even seems to be a new one where it'll happen temporarily at random during a game). and they had the audacity to remove bonds from post-match, forcing you to do the boring as frick challenges (also the only way to get event points now)
i hope crytek goes bankrupt
you forgot the get poisoned and you get perma fadding in and out of focus astigmatism vision
you can fix that by switching up your graphics settings.
i get that you shouldn't have to in the first place, but at least there's an easy fix on the player's end.
oh what do you change? resolution?
I've seen it work with the object quality option.
I random queued with two guys who started mic spamming the same noise at the same time in game and never communicated with me at all
We wiped a trio at bounty compound and got pinned down on way to extract by a six star duo. I was out of healing, no shots, low on ammo, and down a bar, but I didn't have bounty so I snuck out of compound and ran to extract abandoning them there. Gave those mf the real randoms experience LOL
>Blog posting about how I was a loser and a coward will surely make me look good on this general
I don't want to look good. I enjoy making other people miserable. It's the entire reason I play this game. If there are 12 people in a lobby I don't feel like I've won unless 11 people want me dead, team mates included.
I really hate these event totems, last event with everyone grabbing the perk to get a dark sight glow was bad enough but these things blaring a siren means there's no chance of running into someone who doesn't have the perk yet or who doesn't happen to check dark sight, and there's a dozen of these things in every single compound and a half dozen scattered inbetween, you basically can't ever sneak up on anybody.
Yeah, gaytek needs to decide already if they want the game to be a fricking crouch-only immersed make-no-sound experience or fricking Unreal Tournament where everybody knows everything due to the amount of dogshit that is availabel as info
did I find an easter egg of an upcoming legendary stam shot?
when I go to Store -> Events, the page is blank and just says sold out, if I click the Events tab a second time suddenly this image of these stam shots appears. Looked like they're marked with paint and have a centipede pattern on them, doesn't match any existing stuff to my knowledge. Thoughts?
You filthy god damned paypig swine, did you ACTUALLY BUY EVERY SINGLE FRICKING THING THEY HAD FOR SALE RELATED TO THE EVENT INCLUDING ALL THE EVENT LEVELS? HOW MUCH???
I had like 3000 bb when event started, bought the battle pass bundle that gave you 10 levels, then I wanted the scarecrow so I bought more bb to buy him. I started playing late 2020, I already owned all the previous halloween shit so I didn't need to buy any of that. I finished the event earlier this week naturally (I'll confess, after finishing my challenges this week I was level 49 so I just paid 200bb for the last level to have it finished)
after that, the only thing left to purchase in the event tab was that dogshit romero handcannon, and I had earned enough BB while playing the event as you get a few hundred from the event itself, I just went ahead and bought the fricking thing, and then the events tab was sold out.
made a video demonstration of why I think it could be an easter egg, it's kind of hidden and I found it by sheer coincidence
I think thats the old event boosters.
If you bought all the event items, it might be showing you the OG event placeholder background image from earlier Halloweens.
I think it was called Wormseed shot.

>no throwables
I never really use throwables until the boss fight and most of the time its to clear a door or a room for entry by cooking it. Every other engagement Im usually better off using uppercut or closer to just slug them in the chest. Usually first or 2nd compound you already have found a box or two and now theres wagons everywhere. People dont even go to the wagons. Theyre terrified of confrontation. They also screech at me half the time for taking the totems because "it makes too much noise". So then I fire my gun.

>all shots
that's a dodge for sure
If youre in a position to get smoked youre in a position to get distance rezzed instead. Lets be honest, when I go to rez you, youre going to leave the match anyways.

>its a fog map
How many times a week do you think anyone takes any variant of a non-contraband winchester vandal on a hunt? I bet it's less than 10.
what about nagant precision chads?!
nope not me
traps are for screwing over angles.
you think its for blocking doors, but I put around chokes so if you try and retreat behind this corner when I shoot at you to heal you walk into the trap that you dont expect to be there. This forces you to remove the trap/leave the hallway/stand directly in the hallway. The first guy chose to remove the trap without perk which told me he was there. And that trap was a trap to get him to feel safe which got him spotted and his teammate backed into the traps behind the barrel and died. Clearing them out and picking up his friend gave me time to come behind them and shoot them in the back.
1d chess: putting trap in the doorway so I can hop over it
2d chess: activating it to block the doorway

https://streamable.com/apkt6s
I find myself actually buying nagant precisions semi-often when I have a poison, bow or pistol damage challenge since they don't seem to be that common on free hunters. In comparison there's basically no situation where I would want to take a vandal and those are on every other free guy.
Non-contraband I said, obviously people will take contraband ones pretty regularly if they're just doing free guy budget runs but I don't think anyone is ever choosing to buy one for any loadout.
theres no reason to ever not at the minimum take a springfield with bleed or a romero with a pistol until you can afford a bow.
it takes at most 2 braincells to calculate this decision
the vandal gold rush skin is one of the best in the game
i love the vandal and precision
but they're on free hunters all the time so I always have the contraband
also the centennial shorty is so obscenely good man, the precision fire rate is far better but otherwise. omg medium fmj with >450 velocity

frickin deserved
Only got this game very recently. So whats gonna happen with the event battlepass weapons once the event ends. You know the cyclone and bat and what not. Are they just gonna become regular weapons you can buy or do they go away once the event is over?
they're put into the unlock pool permanently
for all their faults crytek doesn't ever make weapons limited, and you never have to pay for them
Ok I was assuming as much just wanted to check though.
newbie here
what should I do to unmoron? my friends are trying to guide me but im so dogshit and want to atleast contribute a little
is there a resource for learning maps so I don't feel like a wheelchair bound vegetable being pushed around by my team every game?
You can scout out the maps with just AI in the trials mode, the trials themselves aren't particularly realistic or useful experiences but they might at least get you a bit more comfortable with moving around the compounds while shooting at shit.
>unmoron
99% of it will be through playtime and experience. I can give you a few tips. Q
>General positioning
Where possible don't put yourself in a compromised position i.e. skylining yourself, being in the middle of an open field, basically anywhere that would be unsafe to revive from. Don't peak the same angle twice, reposition between shots, communicate with your teammates on enemy positions. Stay at full hp as much as possible, even missing a small bar (25hp) puts you into territory of getting one tapped to the upper torso by 30% of the arsenal; where possible heal between taking hits.
>Gear
ALWAYS bring the following
>Knuckle knife
Best melee tool in the game, it's unlocked via earning 2000xp with the knuckle dusters
>Med kit
Self explanatory, unlocked at lvl1
>Throwing axes
Best pve tool for killing ai. It will one shot armoreds and hives to the chest and barbed wire armoreds to the head, quietly too. When you're out of stamina it will one shot grunts with the melee attack, it also destroys barbed wire with the melee swing.
>Choke bombs
Will extinguish burning teammates from a distance, also removes poison clouds. Can also be used in choke points to provide intel if a hunter pushed through it as they'll start coughing
>Consumables
I've found the best to bring are the following
>Deployable medkit
Cheap and heals 100hp and can be used twice
>Regen shot
Recently buffed, constantly regenerates your health, helpful to save burst heals like the medkit when you're only missing a small bar of health
>Dynamite stick
Basic grenade, good for clearing out wire and hunters
>Firebomb
Denies an area for two minutes, also useful to burn downed hunters to put pressure on their teammates
>Weapons
Use the Winfieldc. It's got good close range rate of fire, good suppressive fire at mid range and has the capability to one shot headshot up to 150m. Paired with levering and iron repeater and high velocity ammo it's great.
Cont.
Pistols you either run the new army with its high rof for quick two taps up close or the conversion pistol with fmj for the ability to penetrate cover. If you join the thread discord you can find other anons to teach you the ropes. If you're from australia I can play with you aswell. There's about 500 different things I haven't listed here but imo the best a new player can do is just play what they're told to and they'll figure out why later down the line, avoid noob pitfalls like bad/incomplete/unoptimal loadouts, reliance on rng (dual wielding) and just bad player tendencies like crouch walking in open fields etc

Get drunk, play dualwield redshirt or axe redneck and climb stars.
Dual conversions and uppermat is a fun time. I originally played it for challenges, had damage with conversion pistols + headshot with pistol, now I've just been running it because it's enjoyable
What's the point of the Uppercut Precision?
Why would I take this over an Upermat or Oberz or just regular Uppercut?
Filler shit weapon to put into the Battle Pass so goys buy levels
They still haven't addressed the mosin and the officer carbine is still ridiculous, so there really is little reason to pick anything else outside of intentionally gimping yourself for fun
it's got less sway than the uppermat and substantially less sway than the obrez, while doing more damage than the uppermat. It isn't entirely useless because you still get the long ammo advantage of being able to down in one body hit to someone you've downed before, so it makes a good complementary pair to the bow. that doesn't make it great though but it does have purposes

it doesnt seem to hit anything even though its the same speed +10 faster as the centennial
it must have fricked up rng or the aiming point is crooked from where the bullet actually comes out
something about it makes it miss constantly while other guns that are 600m dont have that problem
Are the guns really fricking this bad?
I tried putting a piece of tape as a crosshair on my screen and on top of the guns not shooting in the right spot according to this
https://imgur.com/a/oNQJ3wh
the crosshairs dont even fricking align with my goddamn piece of tape and each gun's ironsight is in a different spot compared to the crosshair on the piece of tape
I never use crossbow and the crossbow is off the crosshair point by the width of my entire pinky nail.
So the iron sights are crooked on each gun.
The gun isnt aligned so it wont shoot in the center of each iron sight on many of the guns. And the guns sway on top of that.
And they dont load the extra round in the chamber "for MUH SAFETY" as they have already left the wagon and dun gone to kill people which they would've loaded since they left the safety of the town. But they do top off the shotgun THE MOST DANGEROUS CLOSEQUARTER GUN as they travel around in the wagon.
WHY
Im going to break off my dick and eat it
i used a small dot crosshair back when reshade was whitelisted
lined it up with the winfield crosshair and it was always aligned with every other gun
The crossbows are off because they’re sighted for I believe 40 meters for the large xbow and 25 meters for the hand xbow(store page has the accurate stats). Every other iron sight is completely accurate

Can you fricking plugpull or something in this game? This c**t just shot where I was 40+ seconds ago.
Short answer, yes
>get challenge to do 150 melee damage
>Reroll it
>Get challenge to set hunters on fire

Frick you cucktek you fricking wienersuckers. I guess I learned my fricking lesson, next time I'll just run the fricking bomb lance already since apparently there is always a greater evil
Just get a buddy and find each other in quickplay, you can get tons of challenges done that way
>play quickplay
>run around with lanterns
>pick up firebombs
>use fire beetles on the other homosexuals when everyone is going on wellspring location.
>Rerolling melee damage
Stopped reading there, I don't care about the opinions of shitters
Fricking this. lol
fricking melee dmg is one of the easiest fricking achievements.
fricking wasting a reroll on melee and not using it on something fricking gay like headshot a hunter with a pistol at 80m or some shit.
Only ones I skip are elemental effects as people run the trait and antidote so you're not guaranteed a proc when you hit as well as slugs as I don't play shotgun and I prestige often
I avoid prestige until I finish the event. Im on the bonus stage now. I'll prestige after.
melee is annoying to get but it's also pretty easy to do
just go into a compound while players are fighting a boss and you should be able to get it
can we frick off these chinks from our servers once and for all please? all hidden profiles with hidden KDs of course
Boy I sure do love all these chinese fricking hacking esp homosexuals with walls that literally approach a building from the sewer entrance and Im afk outside the main building in a random nonsensical spot not even playing for like the past 2 minutes cause im afk doing something on my second monitor and I hear them cooking a grenade to throw exactly at me from two floors below when they had no fricking LOS or bounty ever BECAUSE THEY WERE IN AN UNDERGROUND TUNNEL UNDERNEATH A BUILDING
SURE IS FRICKING FUN
lol you too huh?
Was it the same team? I reported them but we all know crytek ignores in-game reports anyway
no a different team sadly
They really need to remake the MMR system, but between that and banning/region locking away all chinks and ziggers i choose the ban first.
Exact same trio at it again tonight. Frick this game, frick OCE, and most importantly FRICK china
Douglas MacArthur was right, should have nuked them when he had the chance
>no matter what, remains the GOAT
I mean they keep introducing weapons that suck compared to it, of course long ammo bolt actions are going to stay on top
lebel worst gun in game
lebel best gun in game
I've recently Ironsidepilled my fren
He used to play exclusively Sparks, because it's just good, 149dam, long ammo, cheap.
And after taking a look, Martini Ironside is not a bad alternative, ofc. has it's own downsides but still a good budget gun.
Muzzle velocity can get annoying
>Higher rof, damage and velocity than mosin
>Aperture variant
>Other long ammo guns have been nerfed to lebels ammo resupply
>Cheaper than mosin
>10 rounds in magazine
Yeah I'm thinking it's lebel time
>damage
Mosin has higher damage than the Lebel
Also the lebel takes like 15 minutes to reload rather than the quick clip reload of the mosin. Still, I do enjoy playing the lebel from time to time, especially since it has pretty good skins. The berthier marksman might actually surpass the lebel marksman for me though simply because of its clip reload and the ability to take 2 ammo types
>damage
My bad I must have gotten them mixed up that said, the damage and velocity part was mostly just shit talk, there's barely noticeable difference in 99% of situations
>Reload
I'd argue that double mag size is equal if not better than the stripper clip; 10 bullets should be more than enough for any engagement
>Berth marksman
I only take stock, running spitzer is unnecessary given the muzzle velocity and the low damage is too much for me, I enjoy the luxury of being able to just hit the upper torso on downed hunters. I also don't like running the scoped weapons and instead prefer the flexibility of the aperture sight.
also
>better sights
>better sound
>better aesthetics
>better skins
I dont want to fricking play with 4 stars when im a fricking 6 star
frick off crytek
stop fricking griefing my games
stop fricking punishing me to rejoin lobby to wait more
fricking just let me wait until its 6 stars
GOD DAMN IT
frick off universe
leave me the frick alone you god damn Black folk
>Be 4 star shutter
>Queue randoms
>Get paired with a 5 and 6 star
>Already dodged like 6 queues, tired of waiting so just send it
>In compound, a headsman jump peaks corner and immediate headshots me through the wall with mosin as he lands back behind corner
>I only ever saw the tiniest sliver of movement and heard nothing because of Lightfoot I suppose
>Entire lobby was mixed 5/6 star, I was only 4
On fricking god I don't want to play in your nightmare sweatpool lobbies either, please for the love of god crytek
>shitreel is no longer crytek partner
KEK good riddance
cornf's time is now!
Wha happun?
My brother in christ he WORKS for them now
he got hired by crytek to work on hunt
nice, i guess?
Jems Delaney also landed at Crytek i heard.
Don't know what to expect of this.
Huffing hopium.
embarassing
Hopefully long ammo will finally get a reduction in power so that it isn't the most optimal pick in every single game (it won't)
Probably a marketing role or something. Still, good for him
Why is the US server so full of cheaters? (in before that 2k hours played reddit gay who claims to have never met a cheater)
Accounts are cheap and disposable, the cheat software is the only cost. Add that to a small map where everyone wants to go the same few locations with only one or two teams that can be "winners" and you have a competitive game. An inaccurate spectator and kill cam, no replays, and shitty anti-cheat is the cherry on top. It's like cheating tarkov - no real detection or action from the devs - now the game just needs the redditors to watch a video by some streamer/youtuber on it
it's literally <4$ to buy a new steam account with hunt on it
crytek doesn't do hardware bans
you literally just flush you ip and buy a 4$ account and you're back at it
not to mention that original ban is just for a couple weeks so now you have accounts to rotate between
the only reason not the cheat if having a sense of morality
because you're a new player who doesn't have the ability to decipher between a legit player who's better than you and a cheater
can i just get a flak jacket for 2x hp instead of 2 teammates
pls ty crytek
>deal damage with bornheim challenge
thank god bornheim never actually kills anyone, I never run out of meat bags to poke with it
God the meta movement in this game is moronic
homie you woulda missed if he stood still
Matchmaking feels fricked, I'm pretty sure everyone is tanking their MMR on purpose to pubstomp the shit out of shitters like me.
i'll be honest. i usually hover around 5 star and recently tanked down to 3 star playing with 6 star friends and being shit I guess
decided to just embrace it and play solo in duos. 9 games in a row pub stomp, stupidly. and if i die to one of you guys even though I have necro and can get back up and get more kills, that one death is -50mmr while all the kills are +60 so I get to keep hanging out and doing the thing
i never really played solo consecutively before, just here and there. it's ridiculous. 10s dark sight, do I get 2s per loot? serpent giving me clues from outside the compound. relentless letting me full res with necro and still clutch servers. getting bars back from looting... it's really not fair
i literally have to not die to gain mmr. I can kill 7 people, die twice and get +15 mmr.
inevitably it's going up, i went from 2500-2800 over those games and am back in 5 star. but solo matchmaking drops your mmr by about 200
pic related, headshot through the wall after slurping bounty since his gun was sticking out
disappointed i didn't get a hacker comment on my profile
>pic related
not real
just let me be anonymous
how are you seeing what your mmr is?
1 - there's a video about it ITT that'll give you the exact math about it.
2 - this dude has no idea how mmr works
hunt stats logger on github
here's my last 100 games, each dot can be delved in to see all the players and their kills/etc
it's based on the last mission details crytek saves in a text folder that refreshes after every game
ok homosexual. i can literally see the mmr of everyone in my matches and the difference between their match mmr and personal mmr
I'm trying to figure out why everything has gone to shit these last 3 months for me, i haven't even tanked on purpose nor have i solo revived tanked down my MMR and yet i have dropped from 5-6 stars to 3 by getting rammed in most games were talking complete one sided fights. Either I'm getting old and sloppy or the others are tired of carrying me or some other factor playing in.
last thousand games, across 3.5 months
there's definitely peaks and troughs, all those major troughs are a week each pretty much
idk sometimes it's good to just play some casual games or go outside or maybe address something in your life you're neglecting
this last major drop for me probably correlates with being annoyed as frick with my girlfriend
pointing at a graph and understanding why it is that way are two different things moron.
i don't even know what you're arguing about
>post is full of bullshit statements about mmr calculations
>gets called out
>no look at my graph i can point at it
geez i dunno why
what's bullshit? if you die to someone with less mmr than you you take a larger hit than if you die to someone with higher mmr than you
if you kill someone with less mmr than you you get less mmr than if you kill someone with more than you
meaning you can farm multiple kills on someone lower than you and even if they kill you once you almost break even
i've seen the video
I just posted examples of it of it
sure I used hyperbole but are you seriously gonna be butthurt over that
>butthurt
Yeah okay, post stats moron stop shitting up the thread
Pretty sure all these solo buffs is to cater partly to streamers as well, maybe necro self revive needs to be changed to a burn trait (after the event)
>facing more experienced players in 3 stars than in 5-6
What gives?
Probably a lot of people who were playing solo which can tank your rating hard, especially if you get unlucky or make some risky attempts with self revives
YS still havent been banned despite using obvious esp hacks
im beginning to think they just paid off crytek
honestly i'm beginning to think it's a case similar to how square treats ffxiv, if it isn't happening on the servers they play on, they'll never fix it because it might as well not exist.
It took yoshi-p actually playing on NA servers at a fanfest for him to realize the netcode was fricking shit for anyone above like 60 ping in xiv, and it was fixed within a week when he did, despite them having been told that for about five full years. Hunt i have the feeling is the same way, because YS arent actively dicking over dennis, the king of balance, or his homosexual fricking youtuber boyfriend psychoghost, they don't exist in crytek's eyes.
>teammate goes down
>we win the fight 3 seconds later
>he ragequits after weve won the fight
>turn around and say to other teammate why did he ragequit?
>he says: "I dunno man"
>he ragequits too
bad ideas from Ganker: how to fix self revive maybe
when you press the revive button, you take 25 char damage. you'll lose an additional small bar, or half of your big bar leaving you more vulnerable. either way, reduces the number of times you can stand back up significantly
If i read correctly what you're all saying correctly, if you're playing solo in a lower player pool like oceania, do they get placed in crazy brackets difference like they seem to be in trios ?
Doesn't that make it even less worth for them to play solo, mmr wise ?
Probably depends on what rank the solo is but I imagine it breaks even. Low population could mean that it puts the solo with people even further below their MMR or it could mean that it puts them with people not as far below, or even above, their MMR.
ban all chinese and mexican 200 ping pieces of shit pls
https://streamable.com/bq9fj1
Thats it
Im gonna leave the match every time I load into a raining map, what a shitty condition.
Don't developers know that people want to be able to see and hear what they're shooting at?
what does it matter?
all the cheaters have it disabled and esp regardless
>Another Aimbot and ESP abusing homosexual at 3 starts
When I finish the event I'm uninstalling the game and maybe even removing it from my library so I never play it again.
A bit late but still.
this shit reskin is the first dip in constant growth since inception
I think we're probably at the peak we'll ever get though, anyone that would enjoy and play hunt has heard about and tried it by now
Normally Vidya sees a constant increase during summer do to summer break. Which indicates that the changes brought in the Summer event have driven people off. Or that people are just moving on. I would say the numbers are too steep to be just people moving on.
it's a six year graph
yeah that's possible, plenty of older players I know have weaned off to play a lot less than they used to. especially with the redundant events
but really the genre appeals to a minority, i'll be quite impressed if we manage to keep climbing
a steady 20k is fine imo. i'm not an aussiegay tho
The graph might be a delayed snowball graph, the stagnation is not "no new players are coming", but rather, old players are leaving at the same rate as new players are coming in.
I have been playing since day 1 and still play but this event just fricking sucks dick and I've just quit for the foreseeable future
i'm starting to get "event fatigue" too, probably because they're the same everytime.
I kinda miss the serpent one.
I always loved the day dying light did things where they changed zombie stats and spawnrates and stuff and unleashed them on people.
My favorite was the one for the Bow and Throwing axe.
The fact that you just got score for running around the map.
There was no gay battle pass.
No shitty gimmick traits.
No added gimmick for existing traits.
Also the BP rewards are getting worse. They either add power creep stuff like dum dum ammo for the fricking officer nagant or pointless shit like the Bornehim suppressed.
Also battle passes are just gay bullshit. Only F2P games should have battle passes and any game that has a BP that gives you less premium currency than it takes to buy it is a scam.
I played the first week of the event and quit for warthunder, just not interested in the game with this battlepass every few months bullshit. At least warthunder keeps the game play the same and you aren't forced to play with awful shit to progress for what you want
>Mfw I don't play snoreblunder
It's the only thing that's interested me since I lost the interest in hunt for now
Have you tried playing with friends as that's the main reason I play videogames; it's just a relatively entertaining medium to socialise to
I don't have any
