What's your MMR.

Nah, he right... the need to announce ur description is cringe, if I'm gaming w/ someone I only give a frick if they're competent, n this is an 18+ board so no matter what ur gonna be gaming w/ adults; so I don't see the reason ppl needa know ur "female"
This thread itself tells me casuals think this game is good meaning it caters to casuals n now I realized it went from gotta buy; to gott boycott... think I'll try tarkov
Tl;dr: I could play w/ aphrodite herself n if she was annoying over mic n couldn't do shit for the team; she gone
not sure if esl or if 70iq.

Sad how pathetic the posters on this board are. Worse than /lgbt/, /LULZ/ and /soc/.
Our rule for finding randoms in the discord is you either have to be competent or fun to talk to

Can I get team mates that aren't absolute low IQ pussies that even after I kill 2 people won't push the fricking enemy?
I had to leave 10 matches today cause I couldn't be bothered waiting for moron mc frickface to get domed while he crouches for 2 hours.
saging this thread because OP is gay and game deserves a better NOT general
make friends or use a discord where you can verbally communicate what play styles you expect before game
I'm so bad at accounting for drop off on bullets and can't aim for shit. On the other hand I wiped a whole server with a sword somehow so I feel ok.
But there is no drop off in this game?
Sorry I meant damage drop off. I keep shooting way too far out with medium ammo rifles.
wait, there is no drop off? i only need to compensate for velocity?
frick me
still saging btw

Make or break for me, if i still get subhuman gopniks on EU server then I'm putting the game down for good.
You've been playing this long, you won't do shit tough guy.
>suddenly drop about 20fps average in game
>stutter when fighting anyone close
Well. GG from me till they optimise guess.
Update Nvidia drivers.
If that don't work delete the user folder.
And remember the game is CPU bound, maybe you have cooling issues or something.
I have a 2070S and a 3600. Everything was fine till about a month ago. I’ll try what you said though.
Same problem bud, been ongoing for a month or two. I get some bizarre stutters where I don't technically lose frames but it feels very stuttery for a second or so. Even happens in offline trials so something in 1.8 likely caused it. That on top of 40+ fps drops when I render compounds/encounter players is sapping my will to play.
DeSalle patch gutted this games performance and it's never coming back.
This update definitely fricked something up
I got a shit CPU sure but I could still run this game at a solid 40 FPS but since the update I'm getting the stutters you describe as well as the game just freezing for 5-10 seconds at a time. Never happened during PvP yet but it happens at least a couple times every single match
Servers have been complete shit these last 2 days, either it's a ddos attack because people are mad over region/ping lock or it's just crytek's shit servers that's finally given up.
Why is every homosexual running around with automat all of the sudden? I encounter at least 1 every game.
>play quick play
>headshot some one
>they fall to the ground, dead
>muzzle flash from their location a second later

well, i guess im done playing until the next patch. again. this shit needs to be fixed.
Could a group jump into this with no knowledge or is it too late to git gud?
yeah, its a basic shooter at its core, its never too late
100% get it dude. I know it sounds bias but it’s one of the best shooters out at the moment. Unfortunately it’s got some issues with lag and dsync that can sometime occur and ruin your match but it’s worth sticking out.
If you do get it the best starting advice I can give you is be silent, every mob apart from bosses and “meat heads” (massive headless dudes with slugs around it) can be one shotted with the knife. Most noobs go round shooting shit out of everything then wonder why they got jumped.
Just go for it. It's really rough to learn solo, but if you have a group it's great fun even when you are clueless. It matches you against the worst absolute shitters for the first 5 or so games so you have a grace period to figure out how the game works.
Best advice I could give for fights is that movement is huge in this game. Peeking the same spot should be avoided at all costs, and whenever possible you need to keep your team moving and rotating around the enemy trying to find unexpected angles. A team that sits in one spot is free kills for good players.
How do I help my friend gain some game sense if he doesn't play solo?
Just keep playing. All game sense is knowing sounds and how close you can get before you trigger a noise trap or agro a mob.
this game is unironically dying
I actually agree. More bad than good with every update these days. Still, lasted me 1500 hours so I can't complain.
>dying
its been dead for a long time, son
saw the game is on sale. should i buy the game? is it good to play with a friend?
What kind of games do you like to play? If you’re looking for a more casual experience hunt isn’t the game for you. It’ll take at least 100 hrs before you’re even competent at this game. If you enjoy learning nuances of a digit game and getting better you’ll enjoy it, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it.
What country you from anon
brazil
It's very fun as long as you have a friend to play it with. People will jerk themselves off about how hard and complex it is, and they are right that there is a lot more thought that has to go into fights in Hunt than in the vast majority of shooters, but it's really not that bad. As long as you have at least competent skill at FPS games, you can do fine in low MMRs even before you have in-depth knowledge about the game.
>people will jerk themselves off about skill
>also they’re right
This game does require more time commitment than most shooters. You have to make a conscious effort to improve or you will get shit on constantly
lmao. no it doesnt.
this game is considerably easier than most MP shooters on the market. it doesn't even have the standards of Tarkov or RS6/Apex demand from you.
>thread about to (rightfully) die
>moron who has nothing actually on topic to talk about bumps it from page 10 with an inflammatory post, desperately trying to get engagement
nice reading comprehension fricktard.
>dipshit can't even follow a series of posts or let alone have coherent thoughts
We were so close to having a proper Hunt thread. But morons gonna moron.
This game is considerably harder than most games.
no it isnt you fricking double digit iq troglodytes. it's barely above COD/BF in terms of skill level needed to play and maintain a positive KD. there's plenty of ways to straight up get bullshit/easy kills (camping corners with shotguns, spitzer, dualies, semiautos, HV, general spam, and etc.). despite them nerfing concertina, increasing the length needed to burn corpses, reverting combat changes by bringing it back in some form, hampering movement, price revamps, and etc.
you fricking morons still manage to have sub 1.0 kds with no hunt dollars to spare. there's a time commitment if you're dense (cuze u cudnt fricking read a wiki/starter guide before playing lmao).
tired of crytek pandering to fricking morons like u dudes.
>K/D
Oh you're one of those morons. Guessing you're also this samegay lol
Game is not about k/d. It's about extracting with the bounty.
dudes getting so mad they have to accuse me of samegayging. sounds like you're getting desperate because people know you're fricktards.
thanks for your surface level analysis 3 star dipshit too. K/D is a strong measure of player performance in 99% of fps. if you disagree with this, i know you're a fricktard :). besides, nobody (good) even puts an emphasis on getting bounty/extracting over actual kills. cuze it's a dogshit game mode.
Kek you're a shining example of one of my favourite concepts: the fool too foolish to notice his foolery. I've stated it before a few threads back, anywhere between 0.8 and 2 is a good kd. Players with 0.8 and above can hold a fight but often die before the end of said fight, often being the ones to entry frag or be using utility and assisting their fellow hunters in the conflict. Anything lower indicates that they're still learning the ropes. Up to 2kd implies that they know what they're doing, able to statistically 1v2, but usually it's a case of them securing kills either by their team mate setting up with an initial hit or getting a clean shot from an advantageous engagement position (sniping/holding an angle). Above 2kd is where things start getting a bit dicey. Either this Hunter is a God, or there's something sketchy going on (cheating or smurfing)
Tl;dr
Kd does give an indication of player reliability but at the end of the day, Hunt is more complex than your average shooter and there's too many factors that go into what makes a player good, and kd is not the sole statistic.
On-top of all this, your mother is a fat hamwhale, but I fricked her good while your feminine father watched, cried and jerk offd. You're a colossal Black personhomosexual, have a nice day.
Posted from my iPhone
If you play the game long enough it's hard to change your kd
Anybody else getting much worse FPS indoors in some compounds since the hotfix? One of the most noticeable ones for me was Wolfshead, I used to get steady 50+ in every compound other than Upper and Lower, but now I get temporary spikes as low as 25 FPS.
>done with masteries on all weapons
What should i do now? besides getting good.
Play for fun?
That randomizer loadout is pretty good.
You remembered to prestige 11 times, right anon?
>amazing setting
>great weapons
>best FPS gunplay bar none
>not pozzed
>fantastic level design
shame it's all built around the most boring game design possible. find 3 arbitrary clues (you will likely see nobody along the way) then either camp the boss for the next 30 minutes, checking your minimap every 4 seconds to see if the target has left the compound, or try and kill the boss and get 3rd/4th partied out the ass, which is why people just camp forever.
they good extract all the good elements out of this and make the best multiplayer shooter going, but its fundamental game mode design needs a total rethink.
i think a regular battle royale mode (with duo and trios) would help this game of the rut a bit. but the base game mode is total shit despite the great combat. maybe something along the lines of a control point esque or search and destroy game mode would help.
quit being a homosexual and recommending BR's. There are enough games with that shit and we don't need more of it shoved into everything.
>>not pozzed
something tells me you didn't play the game early access when it didn't have these stupid b***hes running around
a problem with the game design is that it doesn't force combat. people think it's acceptable to camp or literally setup shop outside the fricking bounty building and wait (while being level 100 with dozens of prestige so cash is not a issue). Normal BRs use a zone to push people in. Maybe Hunt could use some sort of PvE method, like once the bounty has been started to banish or has been banished all the AI will congregate towards the compound, making anybody outside under constant attack.
Or how about they make the bounty actually worth fighting for and give the bounty holding team some major advantage.
bruh you will get 3 uses of a shitty wall hack and you will like it
I kinda wish the maps were cut in half. It's annoying as shit when the bounty is on the opposite end of the map with an extract so you can easily go games where you see no other teams. I'm also tired as hell of compound fights,gimme ambushes, clue fights, 9/10 fights are always at bounties.
I think smaller maps would be cancer because any extended fight would get third partied to hell. Bosses next to extractions are kinda annoying, I guess they could change it so that the banishment time is dependent on the distance to the extraction to give people more time to get close.
Ive had plenty of ambushes, whether its spawn fights or waiting for a team to come because they set off alarms. Ambushes are really lobsided, since mobility is low and lethality is high. If you have some stupid idea to encourage ambushes (like an open world boss), everyone would just avoid it. Or someone would do it, get shot, and then learn to never try that again. Cluefights also happen, both spawn fights and by reading the map greyout and setting up an ambush.
That fights happen at the bounty is obvious because
>compound means you arent killed instantly since there is cover
>everyone is told people are there and will stay there (most likely)
>you have to wait 2 minutes for the boss to banish
>its the game objective
Sure, you have compound shotgun campers, sure, you have mosin sniper campers, but plenty of 6*s on twitch show you can play aggressively and sitting in a bush for 45 minutes isnt the end all of strategies.
Do I still need to set my headphones to stereo for sound propagation to work properly or can I actually use my 7.1 surround sound setting. Haven't played in a minute but want to get back into it.
Stereo works best, like every other game with truly good audio. 7.1 on headphones is just a gimmick, and properly built stereo sound is going to be better every time.
>Game goes F2P
>F2P players cannot earn blood bonds through any means
>Those players can pay 10-20$ to be able to earn blood bonds like regular players
Thoughts?
>Open the floodgate for more cheaters and exploiters
>Servers will be even more overloaded
I think they should invest in working servers before they decide to do anything moronic like that.
they would probably have to reinvest a lot of capital in going F2P. they might as well since they have more artists over game developers at this point (for skins and cosmetics) and definitely think it will help boost the player base in terms of count.
these weapon balance changes be 4 da better in 1.9.1 fr fr no cap
Anyone wanna play on console?

really fricking hate spitzer mosin sniper Black folk
Glad their wasting resources on a "next-gen" console update for a game that should have never been on console in the first place. Console Black folk are cancer
ye. nobody even fricking plays it on console.
How bout dat der uppercut rebalance ay?
Lower damage lower damage drop off? good balance imo have we got flat numbers yet?
probably removing the 1 tap on 125 hunters in exchange for further 2 tap range
We already have the numbers, it was in the devstream. It does 126 at 20 meters and can headshot up to 115 while get more reliable 2-taps from that increase. If you want to see the graph of the old uppercut vs new go watch the devstream or a recap video
>Not 124
Weird for them to commit to such high damage for a secondary, what was the range where damage hits 124 that said, the only stat that I really care about is effective range as I'm not a shitter
Really wish they went upper uses special ammo route to see the seethe. Guess this is OK
I'm so fricking sick of randos who just fan out to the godforsaken butthole as soon as banishing starts so they're too far away to do anything other than whiff potshots with their long ammo rifles and die anyway once the enemy squad rushes them 3 v 1
What the frick did you even just say eslgay
randos bad.

Is there any way to get run ideas for bloodbond expenses by crytek? They seem to be struggling with how to get people to buy them and I've been kicking around a few concepts for weeks. Like, a Random load out button that has different tiers of loadouts for tier 1, 2, and 3 & legendary hunters. there's several random loadout generator apps/webpages, there's clearly an interest in the concept.
How about being able to unlock items in the weapon book for bb? People on the prestige grind could pay 100bb to unlock mosin from level 1. Balance? Fresh prestiges get set up against level 100 trios anyway there's clearly no consideration for that involved in balancing anyway
In the post game screen if your hunter died what if there was an option to pay BB to save your hunter? People other than 6 star sweatlords would be willing to run level 50 hunters a few games maybe
Based on this black market thing they clearly have no idea how to convince people to spend money on the game
All of your suggestions are bad and not very incentivizing or just flat-out make people upset. I don't think there is a way that Hunt can be properly monetized, short of completely resetting everyones BB count, unless they decide to do a battlepass system for each event that lets you get everything faster than someone who decides to grind it during the event. And if they decide to do that they will need to make a whole lot more weapon skins because most people already have more than half of them
Shut the frick up you ignorant twat I would use all of those features you don't know shit about shit break your fingers and never type again they must be employing a bunch of morons like you that don't have a fricking clue what players would enjoy I'm going to screenshot that anons post and go spam it on their fricking discord maybe they'll have a moment of clarity and do something not moronic with their monetization scheme
Ahhh, /vm/Hunt, home
besides the weapon book buys they're decent ideas
im gonna get real mad though if at the end of every game a prompt addresses me if i want to save my hunter with BBs
>play a lot of solo vs trios
>that one game of the day where you wipe half the server and moonwalk out with the bounty

Wot do you think the anti-camping mechanic will look like? I'm not sure if they plan to do anything about bush snipers but I had an idea for making people get out of the fricking boss lair

>Staying inside almost certainly means death
Would b kool AF but they also need to make it so there's a reason to actually have the bounty or no one will bother killing the boss, they'll just camp around the compound waiting for someone else to do it. Spitballing shit here, maybe holding bounty should give permanent Regen/antidote/stamina shot and you should get time for landing kills on people on top of looting.
>Boss lair spawns poison clouds and hive swarms
>Bounty token gives them antidote effect to negate it
Lol. I could see it giving them unlimited stamina, I'd rather not the antidote and Regen effect.
I hope they DO do something to address bush wookies. I hope it's something stupid and on the fricking nose too, like staying in a certain square meter area for too long causes enemies to start spawning on them. I'd love to hear mosin sniper homosexuals cry about it being unfair that 4 hellhounds spawned right on top of them as the bounty ran past and cucked them out of their ez kills
Camping gives you bayou covid. Your coughs and sneezes emit a bright orange smoke and can be heard two compounds away.
The dude in the monetization video they just put out is the first person I've heard speak about the subject like an actual human and not some corporate robot.
When he said they intend to change refunding traits to a hunt bucks feature eventually I was fricking floored, that's literally the only consistent blood bond expense I use, I buy $20 of bb every few months so I can just roll legendary hunters and spec them as I please. If I want to play a levering terminus game I grab a random legend, refund the traits and grab levering, bullet grubber, and whatever else if there's points leftover. That they're going to take these minor out-of-game conveniences and divorce them from blood bonds for moronic shit like the black market actually has me thinking this assclown
might be right, holy frick they don't know how to get people to buy bb
>monetization changes are coming little pay piggies
>Still no Billy twitch drop
what is the point of prestige-ing?
just the feeling of pride and accomplishment from grinding all the way up again?
i don't wanna unlock all my guns and grind out all the variants again, and i don't want to use lame looking hunters for 30 levels
what's the point? am i missing something?
>Haha number go brr
You also get legendary skins for first 10 or so prestiges, though I stopped prestiging given how I hate grinding out the knuckle knife t.prestige20
ironic considering sitting at rank 0 permanently is just "numbers go up" but with money instead
There is none, it's just an arbitrary task for GAYMERS that need a pointless "numbers go up" task to feel like they're doing something. That being said, I'm prestige grinding because I like it lmao I focus on using different weapons each prestige. I think most people prestige once, decide it's dumb and just stay level 100 forever after that.
Value of prestiging is in the eye of the beholder too, good point about the using different weapons, I would focus on a different playstyle every prestige, the money wasn't a huge issue either I would always notice I'd have an extra thousand or so hunt dollars at the end of prestige versus the last one so I guess in that aspect it can be a measure of improvement too
Anons post loadouts and rate haven't had one of these in a while
Sometimes I feel like just fricking around I take martini henry marksman and uppercut with explosive ammo and just artillery people from long distance until I run out of ammo then go extract.

Fricked if true, where ingame is this interaction?
Presumably this leaked lore will be revealed to players piece by piece as they make progress on the upcoming event, the same way as in previous events. If so, it won't be shoved in your face, but it's still dumb to introduce modern-day gender identity into a game set in the year 1895.
Leaked update content and event lore can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/cfinfodump/comments/vo4y3i/hunt_showdown_test_server_new_boss_event_hunters/
and

The mentions in the lore that I'm talking about start with the line: ”He keeps to himself,” came the gruff reply.
>modern-day gender identity into a game set in the year 1895.
People not meshing with gender roles has existed forever, and it has always been common in places where the pretenses of civility aren't around. Poverty, war, frontiers etc have always broken down the gender norms and as a result those queer cowboys, soldiers, and factory workers, both male and female, gained new venues of self-expression.
Plus, the late 19th century is when the prudish Victorian Era norms were being eroded rapidly. They wouldn't be destroyed until the 20s, but it was already going away.
I'm not a big fan of "Grrr use me right pronouns because we're allies!" stuff in general, but the concept behind it has more historical precedent than it just being modern day.
Thats a lot of words to say nothing.
Sorry let me try again
>"modern-day" problem
>has existed forever
>historically existed when the game was set
Better?
>Be impoverished man in reconstruction south
>Have frick all job prospects
>Have frick all money
>Can't even elect my own officials
>But what I really care about is Jane now wants to wear trousers even tho she doesn't ride a horse
This, don't get me wrong the whole gender memes have been around for years but that doesn't mean that they had anywhere the influence nor prowess that they possess in current year and pretending they did is both folly and ungodly
>But what I really care about is
You're right, they wouldn't care
That's the point.
Crytek has said since the start that they intend to give us an alternative version of history because it would be too traumatic to make people relive the authentic racism and sexism of the past. I still feel like the lore used to be better though. Now it falls into that trope of explicitly explaining what the characters are thinking instead of leaving motives and shit up to interpretation. I don't know why wokeoids write like that but it's obnoxious
They explicitly explain EVERYTHING. It's like reading a trashy young adult graphic novel. They don't leave anything to reader interpretation or the reader could end up at the WRONG conclusion and they absolutely cannot allow that, they MUST make sure you understand their vision and moral message!
Frick sakes.
Game is full of bush wookies level 50 mosin cains and pussies who camp and refuse to move for 45 minutes. Along with that moronic 800ms kill trade window.

Lol. Lmao even. Imagine.
i actually think the nitro is low key op and the only reason it's allowed to be is because low mmr shitters can't adjust to the sights and don't use it, and 3-4 star crybabies are by far the loudest voices regarding balance
It's biggest problem is the low special ammo cap.
Even if you are a slow and careful shot chances are by the time you deal with one team you will be out of ammo.
>i actually think the nitro is low key op
It's not. Most comparable guns also kill in one or two shots, but aren't restricted by having only a handful of backup shots.
There's no comparable gun. It one-taps on a torso shot over 50m with dumdums, and is capable of 200m headshot snipes like in the webm. There's nothing else like it. The low ammo and intentionally obtrusive sights are the "balancing" factors and with practice the sight issue can be mitigated, and special ammo isn't so hard to find. You can also bring an ammo box. But just using mosin or slate slugs is easier and gives results faster than putting in the reps to master the nitro so it's currently not a problem.
Centennial bros we won
Just got this game.
All the pistols seem the exact same. Is there one that's way better than the rest, or are they basically the same?
main differences are;
base damage
fire rate
reload speed
ammo capacity/reserve capacity.
handling
Each one is a balance of these factors. All things considered, Conversion pistol FMJ is probably the best.
They are quite different. Mainly ammo type and dualwield/fanning accuracy/speed.
nagant
It has weak performance, reloads slowly, and is outclassed by just every other pistol. It has the fastest fanning fire rate, but the accuracy on it is terrible, Dual wielding is equally terrible. So no reason to pick it over the conversion (except if you want a specific special bullet type)
silencer
more of a tool than a pistol to shoot people with. You can shoot horses, knock out lanterns on kennels, shoot zombies without expending stamina, shoot concertina armored, the works. With poison ammo it can tap out an immolator without making it blow up. For PvP only fanning is interesting. So a sniper+fanning silenced nagant is a good combo. The nagant allows you to reposition quickly and quitely to line up the perfect headshot.
nagant officer
pretty much best for a short range pistol. High rate of fire, 2 tap in chest, with HV ammo it can even be used to rapid fire at someones head at range. Its competitors are expensive or have other issues.
calwell conversion
fast fanning, little recoil and little spread on fanning, dualwielding, being very stable in sway, decent reload speed as well. All in all a very basic pistol. FMJ ammo gives it amazing range, on par with the uppercut, at the cost of lower muzzle velocity.
chain
loadsa bullets, worse sway than conversion. The fanning is a meme, some like the meme for its big bullet count, while others dont like the meme since it sprays everywhere.
uppercut
It is the only long ammo 1 slot pistol. That means 130 body shot for oneshotting hunters missing a bar, better damage drop off over range and high muzzle velocity. This makes it the premium choice for a long range sidearm. But unlike full size guns it starts losing damage at 20m and drops damage faster. Still, despite being worse than a 3 slot long ammo weapon, its still your best bet when carrying a shotgun. Another quality is that it shares ammo with other long ammo weapons. That means +9 reserve ammo and bigger long ammo pickups.
bornheim
shoots about twice as fast as the officer and has high muzzle velocity. but it is a 3 tap on the upper body, with 5 bullets (6 if you have one in the barrel) which is shit. It has a fast magazine style reload to compensate. Overal its overpriced and underpowered. only use if you want a quickswap followup after something like the sparks. but even there, if you miss the sparks you rather have an officer to fall back on than the bornheim
lemat
pretty expensive for a meh pistol that has okay fanning. The main pistol is similar to a conversion, decent range with FMJ. 9 shots, I prefer its iron sights as well. But nothing to write home about. The shotgun has an effective range of like 2m (slugs are a funny meme though)
pax
A decent enough pistol for long range engagements. Not as strong as the uppercut, but decent enough muzzle velocity. FMJ conversion does have better damage at range though. Also an option if you want the extra medium ammo
claw
The claw is basically a knife on the heel of the gun.
dolch
extremely nerfed, but it is a medium ammo semi auto pistol with 10 shots and clip reload. but the reload is slow, and it uses as special ammo instead of medium ammo. Its better than the officer in that it has 10 shots and slightly more damage. but its not +650 hunt dollar better.
scotsfeld
fans more slowly than the pax. I do like it for just fanning it, since it still turns someone into swiss cheese in close range
Awesome, thank you for the tips.
The only question I have is does muzzle velocity just affect how quickly the shot hits the target, or is there something else to it?
Yeah, its just projectile speed. However, since headshots are so important, having high muzzle velocity means there is less of a chance a target wiggles around in some unexpected way and dodges the shot
Great info, thank you all.
I play on US West, and I've been playing pretty casually with friends and doing lots of the trials just to understand the basics better (and they're fun).
I've also kind of enjoyed playing solo, though it has spawned me 5 feet away from a team of three at least twice that I know of.
It's a lot of fun, but I need to play it more like a stealth game.
you can turn off trios. There are a bunch of spawnpoints at the edge of the map, roughly 100m between each point (usually you can see a road go to the edge of the map, indicating thats a spawn), but the game doesnt distribute people evenly. So its possibel you spawn inbetween 2 teams, or you spawn at the other side of the map of all the other teams. Depending on your spawn its often a good idea to not run to the nearest compound but instead look to your right and left if there is anyone ther (especially with corner spawns). You can also look how many roads from hte edge of the map lead towards a compound to get an idea where the other team will be (if they spawned close) and how many teams zero in on the compound.
Also dont fall for the trap of crouchwalking everywhere. Youre more stealthy if you trigger a horse and keep running for 5 minutes than crouchwalking through a body of water for 5 minutes. That said, avoiding crows, horses, kennels and shooting your guns does help a lot. For example, if I hear a horse in the compound south of me, notice that the map blackout makes them likely to go north, I can just wait and pick them off. Having the drop on someone is a huge advantage.
All guns in Hunt shoot projectiles that take time to hit their target, muzzle velocity tells you how fast that projectile moves and how much you need to lead your shots
Also there's no vertical bullet drop with some exceptions like crossbow bolts
I like the Swig of Fortune stuff but damn the cost. Like I'd buy it for the usual 7 bucks or whatever but with the full bundle price in blood bonds it's like 20 frickin bucks

different anon here, the other anon made good points for the most part but I'll throw my hat in the ring
When starting out the officer is going to be your best friend. Early unlock, forgiving, great stats all round and cheap. 2-taps the upper torso up close with enough in the cylinder to wipe a trio with 1 bullet to spare. The fanning perk is great in terms of burst damage but using it by mag dumping isn't using it to its full potential given it's reliance on rng. It can help net kills early on as you start but later on it can become a detrimental habit of relying on a dice roll; I've had enemy hunters fan the entire cylinder at me and miss all shots. You're better off using the officer for controlled aimed body shots whilst transitioning and slowly focussing on getting headshots.
What region are you from, pardner?
>Early unlock
Yeah, about that. Those homosexuals at crytek put the unlock to a higher level, and put the caldwell new army in its place. Because they know prestiging is shit, and they just love making it more shitty for no reason.
As for the difference between them (for newanon). New army has 1 less shot, different sights (I find them worse) and lower muzzle velocity, but it has different ammo types (dum dum is pretty amazing on it) and a faster reload. Also, both the scotfield and the new army have better partial reloads, because other revolvers will do a little barrel spin if you cancel a reload, while the scotfield and new army dont. Overal I prefer the officer for the sights, but otherwise they are close enough that it doesnt matter too much what you run.
As for fanning, its pretty garbage for most pistols, I have no idea why people keep running it with the chain pistol. But for the scotfield, caldwell conversion and pax the accuracy is pretty decent. If you fire it center of mass on a shotgun-range target, it is reliable enough in my opinion.
When is this game getting more content? I swear all they release is shitty updates with cosmetic battle pass shit.
event soon(tm)
Anyone had any fun or success with the poison ammo after the buff?
What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little b***h? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fricking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fricking dead, kiddo
what's the fastest way to derank. I am playing with friends who are absolutely fricking awful, and I am at 5 stars so they are getting completely reamed. I've heard that quickplay is a good choice but will it take long to get down to like 4 stars?
I think qp deaths matter for bh rank, and mmr is not enabled there so u meet anyone from 1-6 stars, just go die a ton there to players to derank super fast
i assume running whiteshirts with just a dynamite stick and killing yourself over and over
killing yourself literally does nothing to your MMR so you assume incorrectly
what about dying to zombies? Otherwise quick play is probably your best shot since you can find people more easy since everyone is solo
Mmr only changes when you kill or are killed by a player.

>Get enough blood bonds for a legendary
>Decide between Marshall and Sheriff, go with Marshall

The legendaries, especially the hunters, are in a constant rotation of sales. What the frick were you expecting?
There are like fifteen of them that cycle, so the odds of it being the next one on sale aren't that high.
Right, but I'm saying why would you buy any legendary at full price?
I thought it looked cool
Just heard some guy in a video mention how crouching 2+ times in a short duration makes you move real slow. This shit is news to me, is there any other things like this that aren't mentioned anywhere?
Jumping 2-3 times in a row does the same thing.
Off the top of my head: The first half second to a second after switching to a pistol will have really shaky aim, you can hide your head from being shot on some low walls by looking straight down, you can shoot grenades out of the air (really hard even with a shotgun unless its going straight at you), choke bombs do 1 damage and so do flash bombs so you can combo them with the sparks for an instant kill
its really obvious if you ever do it and if you don't ever do it, well it doesn't really matter eh?
if you running jump into water you can jump one more time ASAP and minimize the travel time through the water
crytek rotates the cracks AKA peaks in wooden building walls every update

dont believe this one, I've been using a crack at Darrow for years and its still there
i didn't say crytek rotates ALL cracks
crouching nerf is to prevent tea bagging
jumping nerf is literally just because of lightfoot
we really need a mmr reset and KD reset option
the crouching and jumping is to prevent people jumping around or rapidly crouching to avoid headshots, there is also some weight to your movements so moving left and right isnt too erratic

>homosexual is crouching inside a building just outside the red trigger distance for the wellspring
but there is no skillbased matchmaking in QP.
K. Still bullshit
Camping the wellspring clues is moronic though. Often enough nobody comes to the clue and even if they do, the range to turn red is big enough that you cant have a full view of it (unless its out in the open and the target is moronic and goes for it anyway). Meanwhile someone gets all 4 clues, turns into the wellspring carrier, and can just sit in a corner with a shotgun to kill whomever rushes him
Cope shitter kek you don't even know what you're talking about you're clearly garbage I'm not sure what an mmr reset would do for you
Shake up the MMR so the wanna be 6 stars that wash up to 3 get set back up and I don't have to deal with them
What? ESL gay is this you kek. From what I can tell you're just garbage at the game where you can't beat the most basic of shitter strategies
You're trying way too hard.
Are you false flagging again?
cope
Remove mmr and put it back to being completely random lobbies, or just make it k/d based so campers can fight against campers in their own lobbies for 45 minutes
What if they put an extraction at the middle of the map, like a train station. It should be a hard to defense compound with flanks from every side. Would this help with sniper homosexualry camping extracts at edge of the map
A roaming boss would be cool. Compound fights are starting to get old, fighting in the swamp is where the grime is
Just as long as the drop is still inside somewhere with coverage. Don't want to die instantly or bring serpent just for
So Sparks pistol and Romero with external magazine
Strange since both will strain the meta.
Also the hunter skin looks fricking terrible.
sparks pistol sounds like a better idea than the uppercut, since then at least there is a tradeoff that its a single shot pistol. Romero sounds like a mistake, especially since we just had the slate
then youll just cry about snipercampers shooting everyone doing the boss
>both will strain the meta
lol
lmao
jesus frick they actually added the Alofs
that's the most "we did it, Reddit!" addition I've ever seen to this game
one video of one in operation followed by a forgottenweapons video and suddenly everybody is screaming "we NEED this in Hunt"
And its a terrible idea, either it doesnt have the romero's stats so it might as well be the specter. Or it is close to the romero and now you have a romero without the drawback of being single shot. Imagine crying about the dolch and then demanding the alof to be put in. I hope it will be expensive so hoarding reddicucks will never buy it because they need to stay about 5m dollars
Strain the Meta outside of 5-6* lobbies maybe.
Why would a 5-6* Mosintroony not continue taking Mosin or Lebel
I for one just want Custom Lobbies/Private Lobbies right now
Is the Centennial better than the Vetterli now? Kinda seems like it now that the firerate is basically the same

Comparing base to base, probably. But vetterli has better variants hands down.

Hello you stupid wonderful fricking people I threw together another shadowplay clips video of me and some friends and I like you guys so I wanted to show you thanksgiving
ok I kek'd at 6:55. what are these videos for though, most of the clips seemed very mundane. a few nice shots but like, completely average gameplay otherwise
We have a few friends in our group that don't play multiplayer stuff because they have poor internet but they liked watching my shadowplay clips when they would come over to hang out. I decided to start putting them on YT so I could show them instead of waiting a few weeks/months for another opportunity for us all to hang out. Then I decided to share them here every now and then because /vm/ are frens right?
No interest in being a israelitetuber, it's just a convenient video host.

Realistically speaking how many years until until Hunt goes f2p?
1
Unless Cucktech makes a new game that sells well
Thought so. The optimist in me says 5 years but I wouldn't past them to make this game F2P in 2023.
Such a good setting and all they did since release is release one map and one boss... in 3 years. All the events have been about skins and cosmetics and "stand around X object press E" x1000 to earn said skins and cosmetics.
If you choose to follow a GaaS model then provide a service.
F2P mean more cheaters
At least with a pricetag you dont see them in every match
Compared to every other F2P game in hunt i saw one actual hacker in like 500 hours of play
F2P also means more players and a slightly lower bar of entry(if the performance issues don't affect you) which in turn means more consumers that abide the FOMO style. Maybe then crytek will have the money necessary to actually put content into the game and hire a team to actually program shit in it.
While this is a good bussines maneuver to bring fresh money/customers i dont remember any examples that actually made more gameplay content with it, not just more cosmetics for now bigger audience.
To be honest, good for them to not actually dropping the game outright just because it wasnt the next fortnight back then.
I agree with you, it's good that the game wasn't just dropped or worse mutilated into F2P sloghouse. But at this pace the game will die and... that's it. There are no ways to run this game on someone else's server unless something happens.
But the reason they lack a good playerbase after all this time(besides it being a niche game) is because there isn't really anything substantial to go back to. The game you played 2 years ago is pretty much the game you played today. If I started playing today instead of early access what would you say that I missed besides cosmetics?
If I don't care about skins and such what do I gain from these "content updates" in comparisons to other games?
It would be really nice from time to time to have a different game mode that would actually make me stay for more than a day and play it. That would actually bring more players back for longer than cosmetic updates.
There are other things but I'm not sure what goes behind the scenes that even simple changes that have been requested for a long time haven't been addressed.
>Despite the player base complaining from day 1 that contracts should be auto-activated the moment you get them nothing has changed
>The idea of an "Evolving hunter" has been asked from early access where your hunter would evolve(get better clothing) with levels. Still not implemented.
I really get the feeling that they didn't built the game to have easy to program in content or the team is abysmally small that larger content project aren't feasible. How many years of shitty monetization would they need to start making good content?
I don't want this game to fail but it doesn't provide incentive to play. Not to mention the community who eats this shit up and I guarantee you they would agree with a F2P model, which is sad
with the event they're hitting their highest player count ever 40k players isn't anything to spit at whatever financial woes crytek are in are entirely of their own doing
CS1.6 didnt get changed for years either and people still play that. People can come back for good gameplay, not because everything is completely remade every year. I know its the hip new thing, but I wish people would try playing a game because its fun
What more game modes do you want? There already is PvE and pure PvP. Are you some fricking zoomer who want an arena mode that boils the game down to basic sweaty compound fights? That would kill the game as it is now because 80% of the playerbase would just queue for that.
Literally all Shitek needs to do is expand the core game, produce more maps and bosses. DLC cosmetics for money. That's it.
>Literally all Shitek needs to do is expand the core game, produce more maps and bosses.
Woah anon, don't you know those tax the oh so precious servers? Why invest in that when you can make more skins
If crytek decides to cut support and shut down the servers will I be able to host a Hunt server to play with them?
>If crytek decides to cut support and shut down the servers
I doubt they will do this within the next 5 years, they might stop developing new content at some point but servers will still run for a good while. Unfortunately server hosting tools for games like this with various progression elements outside of game servers need either substantial reverse engineering or a full sdk release from crytek, which is unlikely to happen (though they did it with crysis). I'm also not keen on the fact that games can shut down with no way to ever play them again, it happened to me with blacklight, but if hunt were to shut down today I could at least say that I got my moneys worth from it. The crytek leak from a year or two ago revealed that they were working on hunt 2, though that was at a point where the game was nowhere near as popular as it is now so that was probably shelved but it's still likely that crytek will release it at some point
When did they complain, have a source for this? The server issues with hunt stem from the fact that player tend to spike all at once and then average out to the number that they'll stay at until the next influx of players, it financially doesn't make sense for them to perpetually rent out servers capable of hosting say, 50k players when the majority of the time theres 20-30k online. Tarkov has the exact same issue with wipes.
>When did they complain, have a source for this?
Because I don't see any other player base defend the rampant monetization like this one(well there is Star Citizen so I might not be entirely right) with the cope of "needing money for servers". Since for every contract/ivory/bottle boost item event they said the same thing I just assumed it was constant problem.
>hunt 2
I can't wrap my head around that. What would they make different? Make a template-like system to easily add items/characters/skins more easily? Have a base weapon onto which you add to / subtract from. I hope that in the future we are able to host our own servers, having that ability would be really a nice final gift.
i remember a few months ago someone in these threads claimed to know something about the hunt sequel. how legitimate that is, I have no fricking idea. he claimed the mere concept had just been greenlit and no actual work had started, but the basic story board was it takes place 20 years later during ww1. the same shit that happened in louisiana starts happening in africa, and all the countries involved in the great war agree to a cease fire in the afflicted zone and different international AHA variations will be present as factions. if true, sounds cool.
Cool concept, would be plausible if it's illegal to make a zombie shooter in Africa.
what does this expression convey
That'd be pretty awesome. I personally would like to see some small Coop pve with an evolving hunter
imagine hunt: the dark continent, which has a single player campaign that's retro voodoo crysis set in africa to compliment it's multiplayer mode that is the real selling point. damn that'd be a kino game.
Glorious
>Hunt: The Dark Continent
First and likely only time in my life a hypothetical video game title has given me a semichub
The game started out with less than 1k average players before it hit 1.0, and then it dwindled back down to 1-2k quickly after full release. Ever since then it's been picking up more and more steam, last night it was at 40k, what the frick are you talking about "dying?". It's one of the rare cases where a genuinely good but niche game has actually succeeded in coming back from the brink of death and gained massive popularity. I hate the fact that games now have to pull in fortnite or cod numbers to be considered a "healthy" playerbase.
>gained massive popularity
Yet I never see any other game complaining about not having money for server. Curious.
I think F2P is a good move for crytek, but not for its players, this game is a rather niche proposition (guns are slow and clunky, death is quick, movement is slow and deliberate, you have to be quiet and listen instead of just run and gun) and I think most of the people that are willing to pay for it already did so. Although the lack of advertisements and promotions is pretty bad, maybe there are still some potential sales out there. But im not sure if game sales can really keep the dev team going.
But as a player I would loathe to see F2P, since it would just invite a bunch of hackers, now they have to pay 20 bucks for every ban, and the hacking tools are pretty weak since its a small game. Also F2P keeps undesirables away.
>All servers are currently occupied.
What.
highest player count since the game first launched hit today
Instead of going f2p maybe they should consider a price reduction. It's a hard sell to get people to pay $40 for it, so they constant put it on sale for $20. Just drop the price to $20 and do $10 sales now. The game has pretty much only spread by community word of mouth, help us convince people to try it a little.
Cheaters will happily cheat if the going rate is 10 dollars per ban
The solution which they would never implement is to have the F2P Black folk only play with F2P Black folk and give the option of paying customers to choose if they want to join the cesspit.
you guys complaining about losing stars but here i am desperate trying to get back to 4 star and comfy lobbies and it feels impossible unless i blatantly grief games
The event gimmick kind of sucks if I'm being honest.
What do you mean anon? Now instead of hitting the event object you can press F on it then press F on the other event object in the boss compound. It's revolutionary and if you don't buy the bundle and the blood bonds for the battle pass then you are literally killing the servers
I just want to shoot pumpkin heads again man.
I'm sure they'll release the halloween event after the battle pass is over. Although I don't think that it will be a battle pass maybe a 2-3 week event again.
>flew to close to the sun trying to get a second bounty token as a solo and died
Such is life.
Why does this game only have 3 colors for majority of characters?
Black, brown, and grey are terrible choices when that's how most of the game looks already.
well, thats what people wear most of the time
very time and place appropriate too
Okay, but that has a major effect on gameplay when people are blending in with backgrounds.
People complained about cain until they made him vivid white, but everyone else seems to get a free pass
Its better when everyone blends and you depend on sounds
Imagine if everyone was as a whiteshirt at night
I think that'd be infinitely better than the current nun that's completely invisible past 60 meters thanks to the fake darkness crap they're applying.
get your eyes checked. Also working as intended

Nah, the Event brought lots of new players. I think the game is in pretty great spot right now.
Oh, okay, that's good to hear. Just reading a lot in these threads about how the game is going downhill since I just bought it was concerning is all.
You got me, yeah, redneck speaks to me somehow
I'm new and stupid, what else should I have? First aid kits I've been made aware of so I guess those as well
>new and stupid
leave it at new, you would not believe some of the shit that comes up in this thread.
>tools
always bring medkit and choice of melee weapon (most versatile is the knuckleknife which is unlocked by getting xp with the dusters)
for me personally I bring a pve and pvp choice with my last 2 slots. for pve you have the throwing knives, throwing axes, fusees, flare gun and derringer (I take the tomahawk due to its ability to oneshot anything bar immolators and meatheads)
for pvp you have the choice of placeable tripwires or better yet, chokebombs, the latter is what I would recommend due to its ability for intel, saving burning teammates, one shotting immolators as well as dispersing fire and poison.

generally speaking its worth taking 2 vita shots (small heal 75hp large heal 150, small gets me by) as well as 2 throwables. generally speaking a dynamite stick is mandatory as it has a variety of uses like flushing out hunters, killing a troublesome meathead, holding a flank for 4 seconds. firebombs are helpful for area denial as well as burning a downed hunter to force engagement. Sticky bombs will do 75% boss damage which makes for a quick boss kill. DO NOT listen to anons when they tell you to not bring throwables as "you can loot them". its unreliable and moronic to rely on luck.
with your weapons, my best recommendation for a new player would be running sparks and conversion pistol fmj/ officer. sparks forces healthy habits of rotating/positioning as the 4 second reload removes any possibility of an immediate followup shot at effective range forcing you to have to change position in order to not get immediately headshot on repeek.
happy to answer any further questions but tldr your gear should looks something like this
Thanks anons for the advice. Does this look better? Note that I'm unwilling to switch from the Martini since I technically bought the game to run one.
That's better and the martini is ok, I think it's even better than people give it credit for since it gets more ammo and a shorter reload than the sparks but the muzzle velocity let's it down past ~75m. I've still used it very effectively in closer engagements. Don't underestimate the hipfire.
The low MV really is a pain after you get used to shooting in this game and start taking longer and longer shots
>he's a leadlet
yes, and dont sleep on pistols in this game. They still kill with headshots and 2 in the chest is also lethal. Its not like COD or whatever where the pistol is a meme. Its just that after 10m the damage dropoff kicks in hard.
Also I prefer the knife for bosses, dogs and most AI. But knuckles are fine too.

What is the point of a legendary medkit? You can barely see the thing as you’re holding/using it. At least with gun skins you can see them and loot them off other players
Frick you that's why on the path of exclusively using stock Winfield/Martini so I can return to greatness what skins should I use
I like the long hand martini skin. It looks like just a normal real gun. It's simple but I appreciate that.
you should think about why taking a 1 shot rifle with a 3 second reload and a melee weapon might be a bad choice when the enemy could easily have a repeating rifle
>>I'm new and stupid, what else should I have? First aid kits I've been made aware of so I guess those as well
Take a officer or new army to go with your rifle. Since those are better at short range. Incen ammo is a meme, so just take all normal ammo.
For tools always, ALWAYS take a medkit: so
>knife/dusters/knuckleknife for killing AI
>MEDKIT
>chokes (to put out burning allies mostly, but also for other more niche stuff)
consumables are 2 shots+whatever else you want. I like 1 firebomb for burning and a frag bomb. But what you have is fine.
Not only does the medkit give you 3 charges of healing, it also can be refilled with toolboxes. If you use a shot its gone.
/vm/ just doesn't have nearly as much traffic as somewhere like /vg/. I honestly think it being on this board might be one reason it doesn't catch more eyes from other people browsing the boards. I know it's kind of niche anyway, but less people are going to see it here than the other game boards, I'd think
i saw you in the thread b***h, decided against black coat huh
>Is the game dying
>Hits highest concurrent players
how does anyone look at this loadout and think "yeah, this'll do"
so, hunt was an undebated commercial failure. it flopped hard at release. for the first ~2 years of official release it had abysmal player count, and crytek pretty much threw in the towel on it. it was maintained as a passion project by a skeleton crew, and it was clear there was a set timeline for how much longer they would support it before moving on. Then, it defied nearly all video game industry standards and started clawing its way back up out of the grave it was born in, to literally everyones' surprise. There is uncertainty now about what crytek plans to do with it. It was all but certain that they had written the project off before, but now with the monetization changes and the communication that they can't rely on game sales to sustain operation, it would seem the suits higher up have decided if it can turn around and be a revenue source, they'll keep it afloat and support it more. it's in a limbo state right now where it has to prove it deserves the resources it takes, and nobody is sure what that looks like, what numbers it needs to hit. the little renaissance it has enjoyed has given it at least a few more years of life. if you just jumped in now, you're fine, you can be assured the game will still be online another 4-5 years, but beyond that all depends on if it can continue growing and draw in more players or not. personally, I'm wondering if crytek is has a fricking marketing department, I've literally never seen an advertisement for the game, myself and everyone I know who plays it learned of it by word of mouth from friends or from small content creators on youtube.
I seriously hope thats not your loadout final
I was one of the few who was saying that the game is dying. That came out of frustration but lately I've been playing with a friend and I really had fun these past couple of games. With my partner we got past the barrier of "too scared because we'll die" unless it's a really shitty uphill(literally) battle. I REALLY hope that it doesn't go F2P in the next 5 years and that if it dies we could still play it on personal servers somehow.
Other than that remember that there are many little things about this game:
>playing with a friend raises your confidence
>you get better at shooting hunters if you shoot at them(duh), so don't be afraid, you can easily get your money and loadout
>playing trios could potentially mean less teams
>count the bodies, there are 12 - X enemies on the map where X is how many, including yourself are in a team
>quickplay, you can get a feel for all weapons, I think
>in the boss compound if the boss is not dead you can scan and see the boss icon flashing. white means it's safe, red with whispers means there are enemies in the compound
>above tip works similarly to clues but in a radius around it
>move as fast as you can as quiet as you can
>most of the time you don't want to be in the same spot after shooting/killing
>meatheads can drop traits after they are killed, this is not a guarantee
>always read the weapon tooltip when you want to use certain traits, ie Fanning doesn't work with New Army
>don't offer 50 BB to get to 10k in dark tribute, not worth(i got 2 upgrade points to all my hunters in my rooster)
For anyone else, if I prestige without claiming the trial rewards, will I lose them(besides the BB and the skins)?
If you're going to rock a martini, learn to love something like the derringer. You need some kind of pistol, and it shoots way faster than a single action does.
The devs should genuinely be forced to do their own trials until they can 3 star all of them and then get back to us on them being fair and balanced.
git gud lmao that shit was ez

Is there any really good use for things like the gramophone, player piano, bell etc? Or are they just there to tempt me into using them at the least opportune times?
In the lawson station trail you should shoot the bell to attract zombies towards it.
The other ones can be used to muzzle your footsteps or to troll
You say in VOIP "we got guests, let's put on some music" then use it to mask your movements if it's in a building. You have the advantage, you know the entrances and exits, they however don't know where you are at, which floor, which room you're at so you're able to move freely when you have the piano masking your footsteps.
Why is there no other knuckle knife skin than the Rasp? I love the versatility of the knuckle knife but my vanity prevents me from using anything but a legendary skin.
A new one was leaked in a datamine for the next dlc after prescient
This might be the first event I sit out. Honestly can't be bothered with the absolute slog of a grind for some of the worst skins yet.
Holy frick get the chinks out of US West what the frick.
I got one on EU
>Have enough BB for the BB
>Only want one skin
>You get back 1000 BB so you only really spend 500 BB
I mean the Berthier skin looks really nice and it's a gun I actually use but everything else is worthless.
So is it required you play like an absolute mouthbreathing ape to use Hail Mary or just encouraged? Like a disproportionate amount of people I’ve both teamed with and played against using that skin seem to play like absolute morons
It gives you event points boost and right now the game is flooded with new players who probably pick it for that reason.
How cringe is it to share clips from my stream
not maintaining anonymity on Ganker is one of the highest levels of homosexualry
i was wondering if ican cut my face from the video cuz it was pretty fun kill, but yeah, you're right
There is the discord which has a clip section
So glad they boosted the metal scrap decoys. Those used to be worthless but now that they emulate the sound of steps I found them to be better than the gunshot decoys. Most experienced players quickly figure out the gunshot decoy but the step one is so subtle it throws them off.
>certain legendary hunters get an event point bonus

I understand quitting while down if you're getting burnt or are burned, don't have bounties, no chance to get bounties, etc., but it seems dumb to me to do that when you have a completely legit chance of getting a rez and keeping all your rewards.
Nothing is more comfy than solo lobby event farming at 4AM on a weekday.

>still only level 2 on the track
That's it, I'm going full sneakboi and just searching the greyed out zones for snakes.
id be down to do the same, wanna team up?
wouldnt this be the worst way to gather points it seems like the best way is to just play the game normally gather a few snakes when you find em and then get the bounty my team are able to get 80-140 a match doing that
>pick Vulture
>sneak around fights
god that sounds so unfun tho
It's effective and it gets my heart racing when I get close to being caught. You can also intervene sometimes with a nice silenced headshot.
Sounds about right, the best way I've found to get massive amounts of points is to just rush down the bounty as usual, making sure to kill all players, preferably in easy to access and highly visual spots, and then beeline for the extract with the bounty. Of course always leave one bounty token unclaimed on the map as a good luck offering. Can highly recommend this method to everyone.
The spitfire is the best gun in the game.
That is a possibility, but lemat is the coolest
>need to get a bunch of xp with the Martini to unlock the bayonet variant
>you barely if ever actually use the guns for anything except fighting other hunters
>9/10 in any engagement with another hunter I lose due to being shit
Is there any other decent way of earning weapon XP? Maybe if I just went on my own, shot a bunch of pve mobs and then extracted?
last hit bosses
Take incendiary ammo and shoot every hive and armored you see. It kills them in one shot. You only have to sacrifice the tactical advantage for like 2, 3 games tops
Only took one, as it turns out.
I didn't look for the boss, I just ran around the various camps solo shooting all the big enemies I could (armored, meatheads, etc), looting etc. I ended up extracting with a bounty token anyway, since after like 20-30 minutes there was one token still left and the other was extracted.
This game is a lot more fun when you run and gun.
Further to this: with a Martini riposte and Brawler no.3, would it still be worth taking a knife or knuckle duster?
if you light attack normal mobs with a melee tool you can final hit it with the weapon light attack for the xp at only a little more stamina than a strong melee tool hit
efficient but gets real tedious
nah enjoy bringing traps or a derringer or something you don't normally get to play with
4u fellow martini henry enjoyer
>teammate just stands there
is this a 2* lobby or something
unfortunately without audio you can't hear the deadman's click. Then I guess panic set in.
pr0tip. Light melee with a riposte to the head is still a oneshot (although shorter range and harder to hit)
Why risk not getting the kill tho
less stamina consumption, although in this case he had a stamshot
I just wanted to share that little riposte fact
>solo
>track down monster
>point is contested, nobody trying to attack the monster
>spend the next 20 minutes very slowly and quietly sneaking around the area trying to find the other player before getting one shot
I HATE STEALTH
You obviously can't sneak up on other players who are camping. Your steps even when crouched will always make them hear you before you spot them.
What you do is make them chase you. Then you use angles and choke-points in the environment to set up kills. Stealth is only for when you can't outrun an enemy team hunting you. You dive into a bush or some cover where they wouldn't expect you to be. Sit still and allow them to run past you before you shoot one of them in the back and run the other direction.
What's with all the fricking automat shtiters? Every game I have one of them bumrush me or mate.
loads of people are playing it because you can run 2 sparks pistols as a secondary and go into a match with 28 reserve ammo for your avtomat (30 if you empty the pistols and resupply)
also you get like 7-10 long ammo every resupply which is absurd
I saw a tier 3 hunter who had it so I figured why not and gave it a try sorry if I killed you anon
just got killed at extraction with bounty token for the first time
god this fricking sucks so much
I am almost surprised at how much this wipes out any prior enjoyment I was having
Does unlocking the Miner’s Song skin in the event pass unlock it for real or is it just a “Here’s three of these, go nuts” and you still have to buy it in the blood bond store to actually keep it?
What do you think?
Well in the past the skins unlocked in the pass were…unlocked. I didn’t play Traitor’s Moon so I don’t know how that one went but the others before were just unlocked once they were unlocked.
Ah, alright. Well that sucks.
The event is so convoluted so I genuinely don't know.
whats even the point of making miners song seperate when they give you 1k throughout the event if you get the ultra mega uber b a t t l e p a s s (tm)
most people won't finish the BP and will get <400 bb from it
You get a few copies, after they are gone by any means(selling/dying with them), that's it.

I just picked up the game and will be shit but hear the game is more fun with friends, only problem is I don't have any friends.
there's team matchmaking to put you with randos although they can be savagely moronic. game is absolutely more fun with friends, or at least people that aren't fricking Black folk.

>make a cheaper long ammo pistol
crytek is really moronic. At least the 275 dollars kept the plebbitcucks from using uppercuts because they didnt want to spend any of their 5m dollars on weapons
Are the Martini and Spencer the only long guns with bayonets? Seems that way, and if they've got them I've got to have them.
mosin also has a bayonet variant and the berthier has a riposte variant
>Mosin and Berthier
Oh boy.
I wish there were more opportunities to rush and go loud without playing solo. Doing it with randoms seems like it would be unfair.
it will just lead to frustrations both way

Best game I've had since I started playing again.
I hadn't played for a while and wew lad the elo decay is real apparently. I got put in a low 3 star lobby and server wiped. My free hunter came with dual scottfield swift and romero handcannon. I took starshells on the handcannon because I wanted a flaregun, relied on the duallies the whole way because dual wield spam is the apex of skill.
>Hadn't played for a while
>3rd day extraction card
well I wanted to play for the event but I was on a business trip on my laptop. I tried playing on mobile hotspot two days in a row and got carried through games by friends but kept dcing and having sustained ping spikes, so both nights I only played one game. the 3rd night I was at a place with legit wifi and actually got to play 4real
Seems weird the Event hunter doesn't get the same bonus to event points as the others. Normally I'd say it was to drive DLC sales, but two of the applicable Hunter skins can be acquired semi-cheaply via an amount of Blood Bonds you can get pretty easily just playing the game
hard to code small family company
Racist devs
The 2nd 3rd and 4th version of the Hunter do.
Cool. I'm pretty close to unlocking the second version, so I think I'll start using him once I've unlocked him.
2nd skin doesn‘t give the 10% boost, enjoy your Night Seer.
How's your progress on the pass going? I just got to level 9 myself.
just got to level 14 off the back of a 600 point game
Level 8. But that's cause I am trying to finish book entries for guns.
Running in like a moron with Double Dolch+Double Dolch is not condusive to looting corpses.
Think I'm still on level 2 or 3? I'm fairly new at the game though so maybe that's to be expected, I rarely manage to survive rounds. Have like a three star rating?
correction, level 4 it turns out.
about halfway between level 5 and 6, shit's real frickin slow
dragons breath alamo is fun as frick though so it was worth jt
200 points away from level 4 I think, I suck at gathering solo. Is it 700 points to get to level 5 from 4?
It goes up by 100 points for each level. Yes, that's about 24,000 points to get to level 19.
The New Army shoots very quickly and has access to dum-dum bullets, the Pax has better penetration. However,
>Pax has better pen

Is there a group playing in EU/US East?
And then I do a solo run, playing like a fricking idiot, just shooting monsters to level up enough to get the bayonet Spencer... and end up getting a solo boss kill and bounty extract plus another hunter kill. What the frick.
>playing like a fricking idiot, just shooting monsters to level up enough to get the bayonet Spencer
I would assume everyone who heard you shooting figured you cared less about winning the match than they did and ran in the other direction looking for snakes.
Hm - fair enough.
Are there any reasons to bring the Pax or New Army over other pistols?
Fairly new to the game and still experimenting but so far I’ve had a lot more success with the officer, the conversion and its variants and the scottfield and its variants
New Army has terrible velocity but the full reload has actually saved my ass a couple of times. No idea why you would use the Pax though when the Scottfield w/FMJ exists though.
Because they're cool and sick af
New Army is one of the best pistols only outclassed by the Upercut
this bait is trash lol, the new army is just a worse version of the nagant. the only thing the new army has going for it is FMJ, but it's terrible damage and effective range make it pretty much worthless.
Pax is the coolest gun ever made. Sure it has less ammo variants than the Scottfield, but I prefer its ironsight more for mid range headshot
the only time I ever use the pax is when I'm playing a medium ammo rifle and don't feel like using the scottfield. It's obsolete in it's current state because the scottfield is just far more versatile.
the new army is basically a nagant officer with FMJ, so if you're running a FMJ winfield and need a secondary the new army is a decent pickup. Also the new army works pretty well as a dual wield weapon.
>if you're running a FMJ winfield and need a secondary the new army is a decent pickup
Yes but the Conversion with FMJ works too, and is probably the better choice anyway
new army unlocks faster than the officer, so if you prestige there is that. It has dum dum and FMJ ammo. if you do a partial reload you wont get the spin animation so its ready faster. It reloads about 0.2 seconds per bullet faster, for a total of 1.2 seconds on 6 bullets.
I always run the officer over the new army once i get it.

Yeah, all bonuses stack

starshell should do 150 damage to burning players
Does it not set people on fire anyway? That's weird if so.
I was trying out the dragon's breath shells on the Spencer yesterday, surprisingly not as effective as I would have thought.
have a nice day, israelite
HOW DID YOU K- I mean what?
Special ammo for shotguns is a huge meme. Just use regular ammo for an instant kill.
aw
I wanted to burninate stuff
cept for slugs
You can get a decent rifle for $200+X
what do you think slugs are for anon?
they just increase your oneshot range
They got nerfed bad though. Since the latest update I‘ve been hit with slugs twice and survived both times. A poison Sparks is just better and cheaper now.
poison sparks doesnt onetap to the chest though.
slugs are still fine, I like flechette on handcannons since you can blast someone at a decent range to put bleed on them.
Flechettes are pretty based on shortened shotguns since they still cause medium bleeding I think.
imagine not playing huge meme loadouts
I do like meme rounds for the Martini though, incendiaries feel good to use.
Also: seems weird that if you run a gun with special ammo that when you run out, you can't THEN load the gun with normal shells.
Wait, am I being dumb? I don't think I tried just hitting 'swap ammo'. If I take, say, a spencer with dragon's breath and run out of shells, can I swap to regular shells after?
no, only single shot weapons and the berthier can take 2 different ammo types
Dang it. Seems dumb - if I can unload a shotgun I should be able to load regular shells into it.
Anyone want to help out a smooth brained three star bullet sponge? How important do you think traits are to making guns viable? Do you ever take single actions without fanning, lever actions without levering/iron repeater, scopes without scopesmith?
I die a lot so often run hunters without lots of traits, and usually end up just buying low trait guns like Shotgun/Officer. I see a lot of people tell new players to use the Winfield because it's super solid, but that seems weird since it has so many traits linked to it and they probably won't have them most of the time. Am I just overthinking things and are these guns still good even without traits?
I personally feel there are two different schools for this.
People who build 'overall' good traits - then pick weapon specific.
Or then another way around.
I love getting Beastface, Gatorlegs, Lightfeet, Silent Killer in the beginning because they simply give more maneuverability - no matter what the gun. Then later choose something that compliments my weapons.
What weapons do you think you would straight up not use while getting your first couple utility skills? I know the Terminus is basically garbage without levering, do others come to mind?
I dont think there's any really, i enjoy all kind of guns. I guess some of the bows can kinda get 'better' or QOL with some of the traits? I've never used them tho.
Im also horrible reloader so maybe Bernthier without bulletgrubber is a bit nasty?
The only weapon trait I buy is bullet grubber because I've always suffered from a bad case of reloaditis. The Winfield, Vetterli and Rival are good beginner guns. Stay away from medium weapons. The Terminus and Spectre are also shit and WILL get you killed.
all weapons are viable without traits, but there are some in particular that greatly benefit from having traits, such as bolt thrower with the crossbow. generally they're nice QoL but if you can't use a pistol without fanning then there's something wrong with your aim or playstyle
if i feel like playing something like terminus or crossbow that benefit a lot from levering/bolt thrower/whatever i'll usually pick that first, other trait points i put into traits that increase survivability and give you more resources to work with, like doctor and packmule. stealth perks like lightfoot usually come next and then whatever.
t. 150hr newbie but still easily camping 5 stars playing stupid shit
Thanks for the input anons, I tried out some of the trait weapons and they indeed are still pretty solid without them. I won't sweat the gear as much now.
good hunting fren
I dont run crossbow without bolt thrower, the 10% damage on bows (100 hands i think?) is also a musthave for me. Bolt thrower makes the reload so much faster, the 10% on bows makes it a lot more reliable. Scopesmith on multi shot scoped weapons is also really nice to have, but not as essential.
I love the nagant deadeye and you must get deadeye scopesmith for it to be viable.
I also enjoy the nagant deadeye and wish they'd give it a little buff. it's so bad without scopesmith and not even all that great WITH scopesmith.
I dont really see how they could buff it, short from removing the deadeye scopesmith requirement to keep it scoped.
Pick generic good traits on Hunters you buy, then after you get a win you use those trait points for weapon-specific builds. Bloodless, Mithradist, Greyhound, Silent Killer, Gator Legs, Packmule, even meme stuff like Fanning or Levering can be good depending on the weapon. The main takeaway is don't buy Hunters for the gear they're holding, buy for the traits or the skin they have.
i always get quartermaster, iron repeater, levering, packmule
that's reliable from one win
then I can upgrade my spectre+uppercut to terminus+oberez and have a grand ol time
i meant iron sharpshooter
then bulletgrubber on the next round

if you're solo you frick off and try to intercept them when they leave to extract. if you've got team mates, somebody goes and finds an axe and cuts the concertina down. Don't push all the way in, they know what paths they can rotate inside and you don't. just rotate around cutting all the entrances free while your m8s pressure them as they try to stop you
Back off from darksight range, pretend you left, then murder them when they leave.
alttab out and shitpost on Ganker till the timer runs out. murder them as they have to rush to make it
If I see any Discord links in the next OP I'm going to take a Hive-sized shit in the next thread

>mfw ambush a duo perfectly and wipe them out with 2 bullets to the head
Hunt broke me completely... I can never go back to playing semen slurping zoomer shooters like Apex anymore....

There's nothing else quite like it
Been playing this for 14 hours and I’m already sick of it. Gave it an opportunity because I thought it was a unique BR experience different from all the popular zoomer shit, but maybe it’s worse and most devoid of action than those games.

>go to collect clues, do it without making any sound so it’s a slow process, at least I’m safe.
>collect the clue, no one is around, but keep it stealthy in case someone is around , (they don’t, there is no one around, ever, just crows and npcs)
>go to another clue same old dance, but I kill some npcs with a dagger
>explore the area looking for someone or something to do but no one is around like usual
>decide it’s fricking boring and start chasing the gunshots around the map, they are always super far away so I always miss the action when I arrive to the place, use stealth again and no one is around what a surprise
>somehow realize where the boss fight is taking place, go there, nothing in my way there either just dogs and zombies
>three dudes are already vanishing the boss, they are armed to the teeth, all the place is in their advantage they are bidding in corners and placed traps everywhere
>get there because I want to see something different even if I get killed don’t care I just want to shoot or something, I’ve been doing nothing for the last 15 minutes of game
>get killed with a single shot, or get killed or avoided due to the wallhack after the vanishing is done.
>go back to main menu, navigate it for a while, everything is micro transactions, in my paid game
Such a waste of money, got the game with a discount but I could’ve done other things with it, anything. I had like one exiting moment in all the 14 hours kept playing to see if I had something similar but is not worth the time. I’ll never understand the BR gender.
hunt isn't a BR
You are right, is not a battle royale, at least in those I can land on the center of the map or something if I want to jump straight to the action, if I decide to explore in the quitter places of the map I’ll get to at least find another dude in the next 5 minutes or something in most cases .
I’m not a based moron, I’m just a moron who already hated BR like games and decided to try another one BUT PAYING for it this time.
I’ll give it the last try tomorrow will play with a rando in a duo or something, to be honest the setting and the gunplay of the game are top shelf, I really like the style in everything, real firefights feel great (when the galaxies align), the slow guns make everything feel so unique in a great way, but the gameplay itself feels fricking boring, it feels like the matches need more players,I want to find something different from npcs from time to time.
Spawn fights happen for me around 1/3-1/4 of the time, where two teams spawn right next to each other and generally fight
Also depending on the MMR matchmaking rank you're in, lower skill teams tend to be far more defensive and passive, higher will pick a fight and push. By running as a solo you're putting yourself at a big disadvantage since you can effectively be pinned and surrounded
based moron
Don't play solo as a newbie
>everything is micro transactions, in my paid game
All the paid DLC is purely cosmetic, and the premium currency is earnable by just playing the game
