>HEYO YO YO YO HAY YA HEYO HAYA HEYO HEYO Edition
Before white men came, Buffalo run free like the river

>>1717321 (OP)
havent played since september, is it worth even giving a shit anymore? its never going back to the old formula right?

>>1717760
If you're in the mood yeah, it'll feel the exact same if you have <500~ hours.
The shift to more forgiving, slower gunfights are only gripes felt by people who were really tuned into the gunplay.
loss of identity, however, is felt by all.

Posted on /v/ a couple days back but wanted to wait for a new Hunt thread here on /vm/.
My first solo server wipe, and that shit felt so good.
But every other game I've had past that point, I feel that I've played like shit and even when I get good kills it doesn't feel the same.
Like a coke addict that tried heroin, I'll be stuck chasing that high for a while and most likely burn out trying.

>>1717760
Hey YO HEYO HEYO HEYO HEYO

>>1718336
I still can't believe they actually did this. Devs don't even respect their own game.

>>1719447
They were so blinded by the giddy that a big singer played their game, they took it too far.
A few PM skins? Tasteful. A PM hunter? A bit much, could maybe work, especially if it was only a visual reference. A PM event? Way overkill.

>>1719447
The event itself was great, shame about the branding

>>1719462
>The event itself was great
I think a problem I'm having with hunt is the constant events, I hate going back to the game in the middle of some new event with random mechanics and shit I have no idea about.

>>1719475
Most mechanics carry over between events, it's not that hard to grasp unless you are a kraut

>>1717321 (OP)
>2 years later crytek still hasnt reviewed my ticket with a video of a clear hacker report

>>1717760
crytek cares deeply about the community

>>1718336
Did they even add the clown skin we fucking talked about like 2 years ago the last time i was in this thread

>>1719630
>>2 years later crytek still hasnt reviewed my ticket with a video of a clear hacker report
I'm more surprised you're able to hold a grudge about some nobody hacker for that long

>>1720010
I dont. I was just randomly messing with my videos going through all the studio things that you can do now and the new ai things and that video popped up when I set my videos to show only unlisted

I play on a brand new 1 star account for clash only and my KD is 4.0
It's pretty fun bros it's where the real skill gameplay comes cheaters are nonexistent unless they are Chinese with 5.0 kd and even then most of the time they're terrible players.

I fucking HATE body campers
Fucking losers the lot
Take your kill and get out
You're chasing a lucky break you don't deserve
You're already a team of three, let the solo guy have a breather
Fucking pathetic rats
Just had a team of three camp me for 15 minutes while I went to the shitter, everyone else left, a second team did a double full sweep, and these three cocksucking rats were camping the body of a solo for 15 fucking minutes just for one of them to get a single kill. Pathetic roaches
This game just isn't made for solo players

>>1720534
>1 star
>real skill gameplay
You're basically playing PvE exclusively bro

>>1720540
No way these guys can shoot and kill for sure. It's just a different kind of gameplay. The enemies are still human after all.

>>1720543
Barely.
I imagine one star is like the iron of league.
Only possible to achieve naturally with either ping in the thousands or iq in the negatives

>>1720561
Their kds average around 1. You'd be surprised man. Remember the game we play is somewhat shooting but also positioning. If someone positions themselves well and hides well they will always kill the other person unless they totally miss.

Marathon alpha sign up. We live bros. Extraction shooters are going to win.

>>1720536
Agreed, death to all campers.
Necromancer is just too good not to take.
I'll gladly wait thirty minutes if it means I get to save my lvl 50 hunter, just like a squad could.
Make it so that fire doesn't completely burn out a body, just that if you resurrect after your body has been burnt out, you have one less or only one remaining health bar (just like a squad can save their burnt out hunters if they sacrifice health).
As it is now, solo is almost unplayable (unless you want to be fighting off falling asleep 200m from the compound with a sparks sniper every game).

>>1720564
not the anon youre talking too, but I have never gotten below 4 star running melee only

that one guy saying poison ammo still oneshots hives and armoreds hasn't played the game for a year or lied. hives take like 6 shots to kill with poison compact, armoreds take 2, hellhounds do get oneshotted, but hives and armoreds make up the bulk of your xp in PVE if you do XP runs.
poison ammo is so fucking useless for no reason, it was supposed to be better for PVE than incen due to quieter kills but its a massive waste of ammo.

>>1721153
Depending on the gun and damage falloff, they should still be 1-shot to the head. Yeah, no shit hives are going to be resistant to poison damage if you’re not landing a headshot.

>>1721164
you dont want to be headshotting anything on xp runs, especially hives, thats slow as fuck. you're supposed to run around fast levering everything to death inbetween supply runs. if you're gonna have to wait for those retarded hives to finally turn around to a hittable angle you'll be poisoned and aggroing every pve and soundtrap around while taking longer at the same time.

>>1721172
Quite literally sounds like a skill issue

>>1721190
at that point why not headshot grunts with normal ammo too? since you clearly dont care about the fact that its gonna take 50% longer.

>>1721209
clearing the most populous type of zombie with a single shot anywhere in the body sounds worth the tradeoff of having to aim *occasionally*

>>1721250
thats why you take incen and clear everything with a single hitmarker instead of taking poison or regular ammo and stand like a dumbass waiting for a hive to turn around or taking 2 shots to down an armored

>>1720651
>modern bungie
lol
lmao even

>>1721209
>at that point why not headshot grunts with normal ammo too? since you clearly dont care about the fact that its gonna take 50% longer.

I do. And then I kill anyone who shows up to the noise too. It solves all my problems other than walking to the boss

>>1721381
if you do it properly nobody ever runs into you, only ones ive seen are other solos doing the same thing sometimes. screaming PVE is less loud than dogcages. also you shouldn't go to the boss at all.

>Still no pots and pans old guy skin
>Still no direct Ned Kelly skin

Will they ever add an actual cool skins or is it just edgelord shit and DEI crap

>>1721705
everything must be overdesigned gimmick-theme DEIshit, havent you realized that by now? also buster scruggs is lame.

i just buckbroke 2 teams at the same time, holding them while they tried to revive and defend, camping them from above with alamo dragonbreath, inside the tall la plata building.
might be the only funny situation where dragonbreath rapes. half of them burned out without being set on fire.

>>1721803
>camping them from above with alamo dragonbreath
Holy cancer cringe, that's not a flex that's like admitting you dunked on spec-ed kids in a paintball game with a real AR.

Remember kids, bring grenades to smoke rats like OP out of their hole.

>>1721893
true, alamo dragonbreath is just too powerful.
may aswell have said romero hatchet, or a nuclear bomb.

>>1721893
i was the one pushing them though, they were defending.

>>1721902
Call me controversial but I think camping a compound with a shotgun (any kind) is a very boring playstyle

>>1721909
i was the one pushing them from above.. do you know la plata mine compound? it has an entry point from above, 1 team pushed the team inside, i pushed in from the hole above and got them all killed while they were cluelessly trying to revive their dragonbreath'd teammates.

>>1721911
I see.
Very well...
Carry on sir!

>>1721916
by the way, this loadout is very fun, drilling shorty dumdum with a romero. its extremely oppressive with dragonbreath burning bars on hit, maybe full sized drilling with spectre shorty would be superior but i like the drilling shorty skins and the sound the alamo makes.

>>1720776
>Necromancer is just too good not to take.
Really I almost never bother with it on a new hunter because of the constant insta burn and corpse camping meta.

>>1717321 (OP)
>>1718336
>>1718514
I think hunt is one of the most aesthetically displeasing games to date. It looks like a game made after a show from Discovery or the History channel. It looks like AMC’s The Walking Dead: The Video Game

>>1720651
>team shooter dream

>>1721971
I disagree about that. The spooky western art style is what makes the game great and unique.

>>1722105
its southern goth, normies dont get it.

>>1722110
southern gothic*

dragonsfire shotguns are hilarious BOOM BOOM

played 5 games this evening, every one of them I got killed by a 6-star. Really glad you changed up the MMR system, crytek. Really glad I can't play a game just to play a game.

>>1722263
Not having this problem in 1 star matchmaking just cozy games and hilarious fights.

>>1722275
1 star matchmaking is impossible unless you have a fresh account with >5 matches played, even then you get put with higher ranked players to carry you, quit baiting

>>1722549
Not that Anon, but it definitely was possible with the old matchmaking system, not sure if it is now. One of the Hunt streamers even had a one star alt account with like 0 kills/500deaths just so he could spectate those lobbies for his viewers.

>>1722549
Bounty clash has no matchmaking effect

Bros there was not a single other place on the internet to talk about Hunt Showdown. It was awful.

I see almost nobody in the community complain about how crytech removed like 75% of content from the game after 2.0. NOW after all this time we have 3 maps just like before. What the fuck is going on? you introduced a larger immolator and like 50 new skins including some celebrity asshole with a tattooed face.

Crytech deserves to finally get a single competitor that creates a "cowboy multiplayer shooter". This stagnant studio would just go bankrupt within months.

>>1723885
just don't play

>>1723885
People complained. A lot. It just gets tiresome after awhile if you are not a schizo and ultimately achieves nothing.

>Have 3.5 kd
>people screech at me about cheating when they could just git gud

>>1725276
>3.5 kd
We're talking real kd or kda here? Also, do you play the game normally or rat around all the time? Getting accused of cheating if always fun.

>>1723885
>Crytech deserves to finally get a single competitor that creates a "cowboy multiplayer shooter". This stagnant studio would just go bankrupt within months.
either "Hunger" or "Beautiful Light" will take hunt's place, though they are not cowboy like.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MNAryyw9yk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K648aEX1KBI&t=58s

>>1726265
hunger looks interesting. although, so did hunt pre release. The "cowboy shooter" part is surprisingly relevant based on the things I've gathered over the years talking to randoms. There are tons of people who only play hunt because there is no other modern shooter with similär gunplay and atmosphere. I guess they got what they wanted with bounty clash though.

>>1726897
It's interesting that there's a core group that just likes cowboys and cares not for the zombies or monsters

>>1726265
Looks very clunky on the animations and incredibly slow. Hopefully they fix that.

with how good sound is my biggest weakness is thinking enemies are closer than they actually are because of how sensitive the sound is ingame. They sound close but are actually a decent distance away.

>>1727403
comes with time. Sounds are just cues anyway. It's more important to understand a general "flow" of the game, as in how the teams will move after you hear a soundtrap. Doesn't matter ofc if you're playing with randos who do whatever.

>>1727340
which is kinda sad since the setting is pretty damn cool. I wish the devs would actually flesh out the world a little and make it more relevant to the gameplay with interesting interactions with enemies and the environment. that would however take time away from designing this months dlc so it'll never happen..

>>1727340
>core group that just likes cowboys and cares not for the zombies or monsters
For me the cowboy part is a core part of the game's identity just as the horror is, and stripping it out for dark fantasy or modern tacticool combat kills my interest.
>>1727632
There's not much you can do with the setting and world with the game format as it exists currently. It's a PvP game with the NPCs serving as sound traps or time gates to facilitate PvP. They stuffed lore into the battle pass rewards that few people except superfans read. Maybe reviving the quest system in some form to tell a story like in Tarkov could work but I'm no expert.

>>1727694
The way crytek added the lore to the battlepass progression was clunky, uninteresting and honestly pretty annoying. But I'm not even talking about the lore.

I just wish the setting/ai/environment would be utilized in more interesting ways. I think you could add more variation to the game loop. For example, make ai spawning less predictable or at least add rare mechanics like larger group spawns, or stronger/louder/faster variants of already existing ai. Make playing around the ai a more engaging calculation. The immolator and masked hellhound are good examples. The armored could be immune to damage if you just hit the plates for example. Zombies could be armored or actually play/attack different based on their equipment (zombie with dynamite that explodes when in contact with fire or shot)

The environment could have corruption based "danger zones" with various effects (poison mist, stamina draining) that change and move around or are more intense closer to the to the boss lair.
You could have alternate "win conditions" like finding special clues or quests that can only be aquired and finished during a match for additional tokens or other interesting interactions (dunno, spawn or destroy extraction points for example).
I'd love to see a rework of the economy too. Currently money means pretty much nothing. Although that's from a position of a 6* - I guess most people actually have to worry about that more.

Another idea I've had: hunter effects that prevail after a match ends. Like "corruption buildup" that needs to be "cleansed" with a bounty token extraction. otherwise you lose your hunter or have to play with less health bars after 6 or 7 matches. Would get rid or reduce the number of all the campers and super passive/safe players that just farm kd and nerver get a bounty.

Dunno maybe I'm just a little bored with it. Played the game for too long.

>>1727788
Yeah no shit money means nothing when you're a 6 star annihilating everyone.

>>1727970
Maybe, yeah. I would prefer to have a fixed starting amount per new hunter. Maybe you could increase it by using trait points but that would force you to be more thoughtful of your loadout and the earnings would be more meaningful.

>>1727788
Problem is that every MMR ranking shares the same economy, and Crytek does not want newfags and scrubs to be permanently destitute, so the economy is now in a place where competent players can ignore it instead.

Kinda disgusting to watch players play like it's call of duty with twitchyness and jumping around like a fucking idiot

>>1727970
Money also means nothing if you're a 3 star and you don't care about prestige.

>>1728141
It works, It's fun, fuck sitting in bushes for an hour, that's kraut shit.

>>1723033
long ammo isn't that meta anymore these days especially since they ruined wallpen, but the rest is all valid. spamshit should probably be superior now but all the 6* autist clans keep playing the same loadouts they have the past 5000 hours.

>>1723033
>game gets uglier and less moody
This always made me sad. I wish they kept making more historical skins or at least something a little grounded instead of fucking post malone.

>>1732845
since the circus ended i have seen a post malone skin ingame maybe once, nobody uses any of those skins even the weapon ones.

>>1732852
I still see the clowns every so often. I don't mean that event specifically but it seems like alot of the character skins now are just absurd. They added ghostface, guy with spikes all over his head, vikings, red riding hood, van helsing, a bunch of guys with edgy masks, fucking santa claus, scarecrow from batman etc. Hell, it took them like a decade just to add a single character that's mexican bandito themed. Compare that to older skins which were much more grounded for the most part. There were still some outliers but there were more period themed characters and not just a ton of random bullshit like now.

>>1732864
i agree most of the skins running around are stupid and ruined the aesthetic, although i kind of main the red clown myself. a lot of it is also because they haven't added back the 40 or 50 something T1-T2 hunter skins we used to have.
i remember the period when they updated the pre-made buyable loadouts with random hunter selections, and also made them very cheap. everybody was running those and you rarely saw a lame legendary, just aesthetic-appropriate hunters.

>>1732870
by the way i run winky because i like the description of the character being skilled with many guns and i run a lot of weird variety stuff. i have a headcanon logic for what kind of loadouts different hunters use, and try to match skin-aesthetics if i can too. i just wish the white gloves looked a bit better or his hands were different. its also kind of a flex to run red coloured hunters. i recently reached prestige 100 so i can finally run whatever i want, but im burned out.
recently i was running alamo dragonbreath + drilling shorty dumdum, i also really love fullsize drilling + dual pax trueshot dumdum, one of them is fine too. the alamo is very underrated in clash, almost 60% cheaper than specter but on paper the same performance, trading cycle speed for range.

leave a like comment and subscribe

>>1732927
dragonbreath is not so meme anymore now, i believe specter and romero can oneshot with it upclose, but the burning bars on hit provides extreme pressure, if you get a kill and burn, they will almost certainly burn out unless the team instantly throws a choke, however in that case you are close enough to tag them with fire aswell, and you're going to make it very hard for them to choke regardless due to the pressure of DB. DB puts you in an extreme advantage if you get one kill with it, more than other loadouts.
also spitfire and pax (trueshot) dumdum are like centennial dumdum, kryptonite to 3-4* players, especially now that scottfield finally has normal swap speed. dual trueshot dumdum is faster than centennial and spitfire and has very little spread.

>>1732864
The Native American skin they just added could be a return to tradition.

>>1732940
its still shit and over-detailed, compare it to the old ones that are simple yet striking and you can immediately tell whats going on with them.
same thing with the mexican witch hunters, they're way overdone.

>>1732927
>>1732933
ah i forgot another loadout i used very successfully recently, levering explosive mako, with 3 ammo boxes, its expensive but very aggressive and counters anyone sitting in a corner or up close, a lot of the time it explodes lamps at them too, most corners have them. it counters shotgun users hard and really any compound-camping, and actually makes those prison compounds that are normally hard-mode, easymode, thats where i got the biggest killstreaks. i don't remember what side-arm i ran with it, probably something like officer or new army, but you won't need it.

>>1732949
I respectfully disagree. It seems you want bland. 'Bruh make me a villager wearing a skirt and a single headband' Hell yeah bro let's buy it. Look I've got 20 more DLC ideas.

>>1732960
my example of a good native skin is teche wraith, its unique and striking, you immediately get the message, and it doesn't have 500 dangling trinkets and non-usable guns and tools and belts strapped to him, or some useless gimmick/theme.

>>1732959
also explosive ammo consistently killed players lighting up explosives when i ran it, much easier than incen with the splash damage, it gets around so many corners and windows inside compounds.

>>1732964
I think someone got me this way when I was cooking a grenade too. Does it explode explosives in people's hands?

when are they adding fix mounted gatling guns? I want to spam 5000 bullets at the enemy positions

>>1732965
yes. setting hunters on fire with incen does the same thing, but explosive has splash damage and is much easier, and does it across any range. i run incen a lot and it happened a lot since the update.

I tried that explosive build and people just laughed at me and immediately murdered me when I shot in their direction

>>1732973
lol

>>1732940
I pretty much exclusively used the native american skins from the old event since I am a red injun myself and there are alot of matching weapon skins for them so I was really happy to see the new guy. Especially since he's somewhat camo it works a little better than the bright yellow guy. That being said, there are a decent amount of native skins both for hunters and weapons. I'd like to see some more historical skins in general especially confederate/southern guys. Appalachian mountain folk or something.
>>1732961
I don't mind it on buffalo guy since he seems to be a shaman and it isn't overly busy but I feel like on newer skins they just slap 500 random pouches hanging off them. I agree with the sentiment in general though, it seems like they just NEED to fill any empty space on legendary skins so they just add random shit.

>>1732966
Use 2 sets of dual pistols with fmj and 4 chaos bombs. Base of fire loadout.

>>1732979
>I'd like to see some more historical skins in general especially confederate/southern guys
The devs are too woke for them to add such a thing, best you can hope for is Jesse Buchanan with his Union uniform or a handful of the other white guys we have.

The max skin of this pass is unusable. The wrinkly ass hands ruin it

I see where their priorities lie can't upset the streamer partners. Also people who play with cheaters should get their accounts permabanned too. They know. Dirty little cunts.

>>1733907
>old woman has wrinkly hands
Don’t play as old women then. Plenty of men and young female hunters in the game

Crytek simply won't go back to doing good shit for updates anymore, ever since Scrap PEAK update it's all been a huge let down. They've just been adding slop hunter skins, Romero match silenced deadeye trauma carbine (with fire slugs waxxed ammo!), and now inspect animations instead of fixing the game. funny. Called it quits when Shitsmalone got added.

Love this fucking game but I swear to god the devs are actually braindead for trying to do COD on this. Fuck that fat retard David Fifield.

>>1734397
silencers got nerfed hard this update

>>1734397
im convinced they really are trying to fix the game after the circus event, but they fucked up so hard with the 1896 update they don't have the resources yet, thats why they're so silent on desalle too.
they fixed trading, keep trying to fix the ping limits.
biggest problems still are bugs and lack of content returned since 1896. if you want to believe crytek they've been working on everything besides events the past 40 days.

Come tell me there's no cheaters in Hunt and I'll clock you in the mouth and shit in your kidneys.

>>1734545
>im convinced they really are trying to fix the game
lol. lmao even

>>1735896
Hunt is a pretty small game with not much to gain from winning so there are probably not too many cheaters. Also, a player with only 200 hrs and a shitty headset watching a 2000hr player will very likely see a thing or two that look like cheating to them.

However, anybody who thinks there are none is just delusional. there are hacks that allow you to set percent chances to hit headshots. If youre not retarded and somewhat experienced you can easily hide your cheating and just larp as a godly 6* (like lots of streamers probably do)

Springfield with bleed ammo feels like a cheat, love it

>>1736226
it doesnt compare to centennial dumdum in my opinion, might aswell just run trueshot dumdum with a better rifle

>>1735998
its in a decent state since the post malone event, if you haven't played since before then you can't speak about anything.

>>1736226
It works really well on newbies who bleed out fast

>>1736293
Spoken like a true tryhard

>>1738863
i only play rare off-meta stuff and mained springfield for my first 600 hours or so, it sucks these days because you can't really burst your way out of a strong 1v2-3 push, its a good thing centennial dumdum is scarce now though, but springfield is meh these days in my opinion. i dont like fast fingers trait either even though i play single shot rifles a lot, i prefer the reload forcing you to take more accurately timed shots and positioning for it. FF isn't fast enough to consistently 2-tap so its a waste of points, it should be 3 or 4 points.

>>1738863
>>1738867
anyway, try dual pax or trueshot dumdum, it has a faster firerate than centennial, but basically 2 taps the same. obviously you can't use it very longer range, but springfield tickles at long range anyway, the biggest pro of dumdum is stopping people dead in their tracks during pushes.
most people get filtered hard by dualies though.
if you use fast fingers, you might aswell take quartermaster instead and do this, and feel even cooler. also spitfire has dumdum again aswell, its insane that i see nobody ever use it. medium dumdum is the ultimate noobstomping tool.

>>1738879
>dualies
Might as well suggest fanning or levering.

>>1738889
levering, sure, fanning is way more RNG and costs more points. fanning is trash on anything besides regular conversion FMJ. you can methodically wipe a trio with dualies taking careful but fast shots the way you can't with fanning.
levering is borderline overpowered with a ranger or infantry. but we're talking dumdum ammo.

>>1736041
its basically confirmed most cheaters are new players or chinks who headshot the map at spawn and get banned, and then the rest are these autistic 6 stars who play 50% legit and 50% subtle hacks when they need it, also rachtaZ and hornet seemed like they were cheating in the past, but magically fell off in the plays they have these days, they used to get way more repeat wall headshots etc.
there is also some very roundabout way of running cheats on a seperate pc to make it completely undetected, costing a lot of money, some clan was exposed to use it and the guy who ran it supposedly paid random idiots to play with him and pretend to be his friends, people are so mentally ill. the solution is to play variety loadouts and stay below 5 star MMR.

>>1739014
>I'm going to open this door and then peek said door from range with a shotgun

>>1739036
i knew he was there and was fucking around, im testing the steam capture.

>>1739028
I vote for Thunderdome. Replay system + player voting. If someone gets enough votes as a cheater they get banned. Only the most average survive and all the cheaters eat dirt.

>>1739042
What do you think about it? Seems decent

>>1739047
the shift+tab replay thing basically doesnt work most of the time, but it seems good.

>>1739044
replay system is way too much effort for crytek, the problem is they cant detect shit and rely on 5 trannies watching sent-in reddit videos from the perspective of the killed players. banning china from the game would solve 90% of it and the high effort subtle cheaters are kind of impossible to get rid of anyway.

There's those satisfying moments where you get a disgusting kill or two of them in a row and you think to yourself "Kek those guys must think I'm cheating"
Perfect/Cheeky dynamite throws do that for me because I always cook them well enough that the enemy can't outrun em.

>>1739096
yeah, lucky wallbangs are the trickiest though. i've head back to back headshots through fairly hard to guess walls before, deciding whos a hacker or not through gameplay would mean watching their actual gameplay patterns for ages.

This is not true.
It was the total collapse of Native American society due to small pox (90% death rate) that allowed the buffalo population to explode.

>>1739863
Strange because literally every other player in my matches are gamepass right now. Steam players are rare.

Had some cheater running around headshotting everyone with that little penny pistol what a fucking twat

>>1739958
from far away or did you simply get outplayed and are coping?

>>1740933
From about 100m, so unrealistic lengths to be hitting headshots with that spread. Also cheater deniers get castrated you both know we're not that fucking stupid so you can only be pretending right?

>>1741015
this general has 2 stars so i wouldn't be surprised if somebody sees cheaters everywhere while dying to an armored.

>>1741018
>hurr hurr 2 stars are bad at the game
Sit down and listen. Don't speak.

>>1741029
>t. that 2 star guy

>>1741029

I played this game for 600 hours back in 2021~22. Gave up playing during Serpents moon event.
Haven't played or checked the game in the last 3 years, but somehow I have anxiety filled dreams about it from time to time.

Why the fuck does that happen?
Am I the only one?

>>1742160
happened to me when i hadn't played it for long yet. its probably because of how immersive it is, the map details, sound, and soundtraps, give it this very small background anxiety throughout every match.

>>1742160
Hunting is a stressful occupation

>>1739028
sorry, mosin spitzer upper only.

Some of the changes that are coming with Update 2.4 are improvements to silent/missing footsteps, a revised vertical footstep audio design, gunshot distance readability, and more! We look forward to sharing more about the new update and what it means for your audio experience soon.

>>1743813
neat, I still wish they would do small fixes but more often instead of cooking them up in big batches

I want to spectate after extracting

>>1744248
Rude he was taking a shit you violated the NAP

Do you guys play Solo vs Trios or Duos?
I usually play against Duos thinking that the smaller teams would give me better chances in fights, which is correct in my experience. I tried Trios and got the floor wiped with my corpse a dozen times.

>>1744821
I go vs trios, it's easier in my experience since you don't get third-partied as often as you do in duos and when it happens, it's a lot more chaotic and fun. When I duo with a friend we also only go against trios.

>>1744821
in my opinion trios is always easier due to less teams, everyone instaburns and camps corpses now so it doesnt really matter if its against duos or trios, you just don't want to engage in any remotely disadvantaged or unsafe fight as a solo.

>>1744821
Random trios or premade 2s vs trios.
Randoms are kinda dumb you got to just roll with the deaths. A decent solo will eat a trio alive.

>Kill 10 people

Sneaky little buggers sometimes need to burn

Does no one Voice chat anymore? Or is there a toggle for that I can't find in the settings

>>1747723
yes

>>1747723
I don't want to talk to stoners or people with no friends because they are annoying. More than half of my team are xbox dude bro weed now that gamepass is live.

I love trapping bounties with Dynamite satchels + Alert mines

Thanks

>>1748128
i was going to try this but forgot about it.
please post more webms btw, if we get more webms the thread might revive a little.

>>1748353
I will try to keep the webm posting to a moderate degree

Some sort of teaser

>>1749159
first teasers are always completely useless and done only to remind people the game still exists, maybe in another week they'll give some vague detail.

new weapon ideas?

>>1749381
Spell slots. You can equip spells in your hands to cast fireballs and smoke attacks. We're going to be battle mages to take down the occult threat of the shaper. The darksight is increasing. Fluctuations between life and death. The veil is thin.

Purchased the latest bundle
Which ammo types, tools and consumables would best fit him thematically?

>>1750331

Fuck I accidentally pushed 2k hunt dollars when I prestiged why is that shit even an option

>>1755924
No recoil trait get HYPE

>>1755954
its probably going to be disappointing

if they dont announce/tease desalle next week, i have a feeling its still not coming next event/battlepass.

>>1755966
Hells coming boy, and you AINT ready

>>1755968
that piece of "lore" was concluded in the first 1896 event or something.
they are completely silent on desalle.

>>1755971
Okay Debbie Downer I bet you're the life of the party

God I love spooky horror Western

>Think about reinstalling Hunt
>Remember I missed out on a bunch of fomo battlepass skins
>Don't reinstall

>>1756219
>not playing videogames for the experience itself
you probably fuck for the sole purpose of cumming as well, scum

>>1756219
all the recent ones have been gay and trash and there are like 200 hunter skins now, just pick one you like and make it your whole identity.

>>1755998
not my fault crytek cant write actual stories and still has less content since 1896 after a year.

another teaser thing

>>1757538
VENDIGO

>>1757591
its obviously trait reworks or pact traits, my guess is reworks
kiteskin rework
fanning rework (also decreases recoil and/or even spread, to compete with quartermaster shotgun)
beastface rework
adrenaline rework (if thats still even in the game, i dont know)

more hopeful prediction would be a snake oil salesman themed pledge mark system that stays outside of events, with little vials that give you these bonuses.

>>1757635
it's VENDIGO

>>1757743
you're very naive if you think theres gonna be a new boss anytime soon, also they don't like "real world monsters" for bosses, so they wouldn't do a wendigo. if they do a new boss it will probably be a roaming one and more likely to be something lame again like a hellhound boss or a larger meathead or a rat boss which may have been teased with easter eggs throughout the maps.

maybe they should give bosses different conditions instead, without making them harder since that makes people annoyed, and finally make bounty tokens worth something more.
pledgemark system could help.

i kind of expect the trait reworks, new ammos that were teased back in late 2024 (heavy ammo, dart shells, phosphorous shells), UI improvements, 50/50 desalle..
if they bring back weather conditions maybe they add a new one too. when i saw the witches event trailer i actually expected it to originally have had some kind of spore haze fog condition, but that event was stripped down and put out hastily, though i doubt they did originally make that.
i hope they finally add a new original gun that is fun to use.

>>1757770
>>1757635
Doomers shouldnt be allowed to post

>>1757853
how can you expect them to all of a sudden bring in huge things after they fucked up so bad a year ago and are still struggling to put it all back together? also i meant new ammos that were leaked, not teased. >>1757770
the teasers are pretty obviously about traits, kiteskin rework has been talked about for a while, including by rachtaz who typically starts asking questions to his viewers after hes already been shown things. the last event was stripped down so they could work on bugfixes and other shit, and all that stuff they said to work on, is now coming next patch. it takes them like 2-3 years for a new boss and more for a map.

People have been talking about having marks remain between events. If they add a merchant that randomly spawns on the map to buy stuff from that'd be pretty dope.

>>1757907
they should have done things ages ago
>turn bounty tokens into a currency
>pledge marks from killing AI/looting hunters/whatever
>looting hunters gives specific currency, the way bloodbonds used to be


>account-bound currency
>hunter-bound
>match-bound

>use currencies for cosmetics, rare weapons, traits, tools/consumables, scarce or new rare ammo

anyway i really hope they buff fanning, i hate 2slot shotguns. fanning is one of the cooler things the game has and nobody uses it anymore.

the steam recorder often skips frames and fucks up, at crucial moments too.

Is the game dead? I can't find any bounty clash matchez

>>1758081
its at a low point, clash also isnt as popular.
it takes an annoyingly long time for me to find matches aswell and only shit players seem to play randoms at the moment, normally only the tryhards stayed after events but people seem to be quitting.

new teaser, with (most likely) new hunter, seems like a nod to blood meridian, since he seems hairless and called the judge.

>>1761069

>>1761069
Ladies and gentlemen I feel it my duty to inform you that the man holding this revival is an imposter. He holds no papers of divinity from any institution recognized or improvised. He is altogether devoid of the least qualification to the office he has usurped and has only committed to memory a few passages from the good book for the purpose of lending to his fraudulent sermons some faint flavor of the piety he despises. In truth, the gentleman standing here before you posing as a minister of the Lord is not only totally illiterate but is also wanted by the law in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

Oh God, cried the reverend. Lies, lies! He began reading feverishly from his opened bible.

On a variety of charges the most recent of which involved a girl of eleven years—I said eleven—who had come to him in trust and whom he was surprised in the act of violating while actually clothed in the livery of his God.

A moan swept through the crowd. A lady sank to her knees.

This is him, cried the reverend, sobbing. This is him. The devil. Here he stands.

Let’s hang the turd, called an ugly thug from the gallery to the rear.

Not three weeks before this he was run out of Fort Smith Arkansas for having congress with a goat. Yes lady, that is what I said. Goat.

Why damn my eyes if I wont shoot the son of a bitch, said a man rising at the far side of the tent, and drawing a pistol from his boot he leveled it and fired.

Game is so dead it puts 1 stars in games against 3 4 stars

>>1762320
you sure that's not soul survivor?

It's strange how people that don't even hide their wallhacks don't get bans
I just watched someone obviously walling to find opponents with zero sound cues. He didn't even try to be sneaky. There's no way to find them unless an actual dev watched them because the walls are run on another computer. I bet you don't even need to do that for Hunt with the amount of cheaters.

>>1762320
To be fair,
where are you supposed to put a solo 1 star?

takes minutes to find a match right now, game is going to be dead as fuck till the event, especially bounty clash.
if they dont deliver desalle its going to get real grim.

>>1764046
No players

>>1764078
obviously
https://steamcharts.com/app/594650
the past 30 days has averaged the lowest it has since 2021 its fucking over
the only way to get and keep people back is to deliver desalle with weather conditions, bugfree, a great battlepass with great mechanics and gameplay loop, fun gear, the old t2/t3 hunters, revert the wall penetration nerfs, revert the silencer nerfs except krag, do twitchdrops, etc..

theres no way they can do all this, all their devs are fucking indian and crytek is merely a money laundering front for the turkish mafia now....... its fucking over

>>1764103
also they need to make desalle card only for 2 weeks, and add upper/lower desalle and fort bolden or first testimonial church to clash.

the fool/doc redmartin teaser

>>1765018
i'm wondering if anyone knows whether this is desalle saloon in the background or just a random background, i need desalle so bad.

>>1765020
Could be the bar in Grizzly Lodge, but I hope you’re right

Desalle won't save you

>>1765464
will phentanyl save us?

if they don't live up to expectations they wont survive till the next event and will shut down hunt servers
>revert wall pen nerf
>revert silencer nerf
>fix the goddamn audio
>add desalle with no bugs
>make the UI good and add legacy UI option
>re-add t2 and t3 hunters with an accompanying new shop with a new bounty token currency
>remove post-malone and scary movie from the game
>remove all the lgbtqbbq tranny shit from the lore, rewrite the lore to be based and anti-israel, add the book of weapons back in the game
>book of weapons challenges for weapons now give some simple skins or charms to show for it
>add KD based matchmaking and a non-matchmaking option
>add firestorm, thundershower, and ashbloom back to rotation
>revert the shot durations while keeping the non-nerfed tool damage against bosses the way it was inn the past

"If CrYTek Dun Do DIs GamE DiE!! 1!"
People like you have been saying this kind of shit for the past six updates.
And yet you either still play or rather more pathetically keep commenting on forums on a game you stopped playing.
Gets real old after a while...

>>1766107
the game has been dying since the past six updates though

>>1766115
Yet the game is still here and so are you.
Hurry up and shit or get of the pot already princess.

>>1766118
no it isnt nobody is playing anymore

>>1766121
Yes "nobody" is playing. Sure.

>>1766125
hunt showdown: 1896 (dead game) has literally zero players right now.
fact.

>>1766142
Then perhaps brother you would join me in a moment of silence?

We're all ditching this mosin/dolch shitfest when Hunger is out, right bros?

>>1766367
it seems like its going to flop

>>1766367
>"it's either this or that" mindset
You are weak, you are a faggot, you are worthless. I hope Hunger turns out to be a great game.

>Are we all going to play flavor of the month slop X? Right bros?
We're not the same

>>1767293
hunger doesnt have any fotm characteristics, seems as niche if not more than hunt.

>>1767296
>>1766367
Take a careful look at the trailers and what they are promising for the game. The melee combat is janky, guns swap and fire too quickly, not much footage of reload times. Not that it matters because you can carry two guns plus melee. 3 scopes announced already for old as fuck fictional guns. Terrain that has overbearing high ground and few access points. Poorly optimized graphics, dumb AI. It'll be a subpar Hunt knockoff shit show. They're making all the same mistakes Crytek did tenfold.

>>1767324
You shoulda mentioned they made enemies HP sponges that take forever to kill

Hunt needs loot

>>1767324
hunt looked just as janky and weird pre-alpha, i think they're trying to replace hunt in its niche and learn from the mistakes since it wont have permadeath and does loadouts and levelling differently, similar gameplay loop but different rewards and risks. i think it will be fine but most likely flops good or not.

>back to back to back headshots
take note, this is what a chink looks like

>Like using the Nun skin
>It's hard to hide behind cover because of her big hat
skin customization when?

>>1768845
>not running colourful and visible skins as a flex

>>1767401
This is exactly what hunt is missing. If there was loot we could loot and sell then the game would be more fun. There needs to be treasure we can sell at the local shop. Hunt DEVS get to it. Also sexy women. You're welcome for me saving your game.

>>1769114
We should be able to dissect bounty targets and sell their parts or wear them as trophies.

>>1720651
>Marathief

I love AI art. AI art is based.

bear traps were the worst thing added to the game right behind revive shot.

>>1769600
Juist watch your step, bro

>>1769600
they're the shittiest trap though, killtraps have been back. i dont think i have been killed by bear traps since they got nerfed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RmbDo3Ep1s
still no desalle news

>>1770365
That is the Desalle news dumb dumb. They wouldn't make a trailer on a map that couldn't run the game. Desalle is coming next event.

>>1771217
event and battlepass crap is made months if not a year in advance and sits on a schedule, it wouldnt surprise me at all if they put out a video like this but have to put out a cuck message on reddit saying "we were meant to put out desalle this event but the bugfixing and layoffs is making us take a little longer, sorry!" unless they actually announce it and show us pictures of the map improvements like they did with stillwater and desalle i'm not going to give myself false hope.

what are some good loadouts for solo?

>>1771729
depends on budget and playstyle
i like to get all the solo traits and always be at boss first so i use shotgun with new army and traps. spectre is probably the best value shotgun right now unless you like the alamo a lot.

desalle and old hunters finally shown in update on discord.

>>1772174
Kek crybabies btfo even though they have headcanon it takes months and months for this even though that's exactly how much time devs have been working on it

>>1771729

take sticky bomb unless you take melee, if you take traps put them not at entry points but more inside, concertina bomb the biggest entrance.
if you're not at the boss first wait until teams are fighting and some people die, serpent a bounty when one drops and run to a safe extract even if its across the map.

She's not coming back... Is she bros? :(

>>1772233
it looks like they're adding all of them back if they're showing 6 of them already, i just wonder how they'll be added considering they added the other tier 1s to prestige. wont be surprised if they added most of them to prestige too. replacing bloodbond rewards.

>>1772280
Doesn't matter to me im prestige 100

>>1772315
same but its still a sneaky jew move that they've been doing for a while now.

when you guys say solo, are you playing solo against solo/duos or solo against trios?

>>1772446
it doesnt matter just get a bounty token and run at the instant you have killed one or they're occupied

>>1772543
>Run
big poosay detected

>>1772192
>serpent a bounty when one drops and run to a safe extract even if its across the map
>just focus on the least enjoyable part of the game, bro

>>1772864
>least enjoyable part of the game
I disagree, stealing the bounty during a fire fight then running to the extraction like the gingerbread man on crack, is both fun and hilariously dickish.

the unforseen benefit of readding desalle is having another map in the pool to reduce the probability of being forced to play on mammoth gulch

>>1773439
>Shitters: Uhh uhhh we need more entrances and ladders and ways into the compound!
Shotgun shitters can eat my balls

>>1773700
Except less entrances benefits shotgun shitters, they can just hold tight angles. More entrances allows for more opportunities to peek from outside point blank from different angles.

>>1772971
i agree. i generally play trios and prefer to fight, but if i'm in compound and the other teams are being lame, distracted, and leave an opening. i'm heckin dippin and laughing my ass off

>>1773700
what bothers me is they are getting rid of the logistical/logical consistency the compounds had, like they did with iron works where they added 2 random useless doors and a window next to it when they would serve no purpose for what the building is, for the sake of unasked balancing.
same with this one, why the fuck did that rock grow over the stone stairs? who and why the fuck would someone build a wooden ramp and ledge there and also put a ladder? i understand some compounds are repetitive or very strong but they could do with adding one or two simple entrances, what makes a strong push is almost always being able to throw grenades from 2 different sides before going in, not having 8 ladders basements and sewers to pop out of like some rabbi in NYC.

>>1773722
I'm talking about people who rush into defended compounds with shotguns. If someone is holding a corner they're disadvantaged. Now they can just pop in and run around like a retard from whatever entrance they want.

another teaser, people are saying its ursa mortis returning. maybe reworked mechanics. seems kind of useless to me though.

>>1773814
which also then decentivizes getting to the objective first because the positions are so horribly compromised.

>>1774443
Desalle need its own wild target boss, hope they make one for Lawson as well

>>1775039
making it a wild target would be a smart move cheap content wise, even though its just a fast meathead, it looks like stillwater in that picture though they probably just used a random background. i'm hoping we get an announcement today and next event still drops 6th june or 11th. i need to get some cash register gameplay since i hit P100.

>>1775366
>>1775370
Hunt webms are pure trash, fuck off

1775391
fuck you

>>1775394

I like watching hunt content. You are allowed to post them.

>>1775685
It just doesn't translate well into shortform soundless webms, Hunt "content" shines in prolonged engagements, imo. Some exceptions apply but this whole "look, I landed a headshot on a guy" thing is boring as fuck.

>>1775902
most of these webms are longer killstreaks but 4mb limit makes it impossible

more desalle changes

last event survey results
https://www.huntshowdown.com/news/garden-of-the-witch-survey-results

>>1776153
there was nothing wrong with this shit i really think they just changed it for the imaginary "new players" they thought were coming after 1896, to even them on the new maps against players who know all the spots. darin shipyard was great too.

i remember when they teased mammon's, they were going to make traps placeable on walls of doorways and stuff to make up for all the new entries, but that didnt work out, then they added the bear traps, nerfed killtraps etc. now we're stuck like this lol.

>>1776159
>More cover to approach and not get shot through a pixel peek by germans corner camping the boss lair
>More ways into the lair
How is this not a positive change?

>>1776208
cause they put a shotgun maze where a lot of climactic fights normally happened, i hope you can throw explosives through the top.
maybe it will improve the annoying spawnfights that happened there atleast. also the new entry infront of the building is unnessecary and makes it feel less real/alive. it looks like they might have even blocked the front doors there too..
part of what made this compound cool was it was often dangerous to peek from inside to outside, but if you came through the front doors you could get naded easily and had to pre-emptively breach with your own. now it looks like another weird cage where defenders just have to hide and gamble on which entry other teams are taking, and god forbid not more than 1 team at a time because then you instantly lose these days.

why are americans so mid at this game?

Bought this game on a whim and never refunded it. Is it worth getting into in its current state?

>>1776376
yes, theres nothing like it but it also takes a long time to get the hang of it.

>>1776380
Should I play solo or as a random duo/trio?

>>1776397
playing with friends would be much preferred but random trios works, solo is pointless as a beginner.
i dont want to turn you off from the game but i recommend you watch an up-to-date beginner guide on youtube and play the ingame tutorial so you're not utterly lost. i dont mean it lightly when i say it takes a long time to get good, but its still fun when you're learning anyway. don't play it like a stealth game, rather get a feeling for the pace and know when to push and fall back.

>>1776397
Solo vs duos is fine, main thing to keep in mind is that everyone always assumes that there are 2 of you, use that to your advantage and know that you lose that advantage as soon as you get spotted in dark sight.

Randoms are fine but don't expect them to be anything other than walking meat shields. Unless they prove that they're not retarded then you should assume that they are and play as if you're solo.

>>1721971
>anon doesn't know that there can be beauty in disorder and ugliness.
go back to playing the finals or valorant
I LOVE GRUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE GRIMEEE!!!!! the art direction of hunt is genuinely one of the main draws of the game.
I'll be sitting over here with these anons in the refined taste section
>>1722105
>>1722110
>>1722111

>>1776554
continuing on.
No other game does 'hell on earth' better than hunt
The bloated corpse of a man who drowned in a river of cow guts, muddy swamp water, and spilled oil is modeled and rendered with such attention to detail that it's impressive.
The decay of the old brick buildings. The corpses strung up in small log cabins in strange rituals, the piles of cow manure and metal scrap. The ever present mud and brambles. The zombies in various states of decay, the bounty targets being just barely recognizable as being once human, twisted and perverted by the dark forces in the bayou. the once busy buildings that had industrial use, now boarded up and turned into shelter against the hordes of undead creatures.

>>1776557
It makes me think. Hunt is up there among the worst game universes to live in/get isekai'd to. Probably under outlast trials, dead by daylight, and some warhammer games, but still being in the bayou is pretty damn bad.

>>1776563
there are plenty of lesbian prostitutes, blind grannies and even post-malone running around the bayou so it must not be that bad

>>1776563
If it were bewteen DBD vs Hunt I'd take Hunt and a revolver everytime

>>1776397
>>1776376
i forgot, if you get hooked on this game in the beginning dont be surprised if you start dreaming about it at night, it happens a lot to people.

>>1776685
I've had a few hunt dreams.
Onetime I had a dream where I was fighting a free reshuffle hunter. We both had romeros and we were trying to shoot eachother through a ruined watertower/grain silo, similar to the broken watertower up the hill from la plata mine, except it was in a completely empty field. But we kept missing our shots/barely hitting any pellets again and again and again and we both refused to attack eachother with melee and kept peeking eachother again and again through the big crack in the silo it was quite funny. Another time I was fighting trios vs trios at the miners folley compound house and was cleaning house with the calvalry saber, but the other team had like infinite necromancer so like as soon as I downed one person another one would get up immediately. Both dreams seemed very hazy compared to my regular dreams, it felt like I was in a trance both times. funky stuff.

>>1776373
>another ping abuser
no valid opinions
>>1776376
yeah most the hate is from veterans who knew a better time, it's still good if you don't know what you're missing

>>1777128
does the character holding an uppercut mean uppercut nerfs will be reverted?

was hoping for a trailer or announcement but its a dusters skin
looks like it follows the same aesthetic as the black uppercut skins from last battlepass

>>1776563
DbD is far worse. In hunt you're ethier lucky enough to never go near the bayou, or you are just farming whatever small stuff you can for a paycheck.
DbD is being memory wiped into a quirky hellscape to die on a loop until you are soul drained

>>1776563
Isn't life pretty much regular outside of the immediate area game takes place in?

>>1778853
i believe it is supposed to be that way, like the zone in stalker, but the canon lore in hunt is a bunch of retarded troon tumblrslop nobody reads so who knows at this point

I'm taking a break for a few weeks, was getting burned out on the game. Didn't know there was a threat for it.

>>1776459
thank god neither of them caught on the fire by the furnace.
>>1776499
Started using sparks pistol recently, and I'm a believer. I'm always popping headshots with it.
>>1777134
loool I hope so brother

>>1778880
sparks pistol is viable now, i think they buffed the reload speed significantly since the circus update and it has good drop range compared to all the other pistols, high velocity too.
it feels like pre-1896 pistols.

needs to hurry up so I can play

>play splitgate 2
>they want $28 for a shitty gun reskin

I can’t imagine they’ve been nerfed at all, but I’ve always thought it was odd that getting the aggro of a hellhound puts everything in an absurdly long range into an alert state, as if you rung a bell. It’s like a 50 meter diameter, and I guess it’s to guarantee other dogs join the pack in an attack.

>>1780643
100* meter I forgot how circles work

Just spectated a guy who was sprinting backwards. I don't think he was cheating but is this some sort of new exploit? He was able to dodge around at full speed while still returning fire.

Wonder what Dorothy will look like

The same model they use for all females. Gypsy with dark hair.

>>1781776
Good chance she'll be an attractive white woman given that crytek need the money and they know exactly where their bread is buttered.

ursa mortis, maynard skin and hunter skin (first person), looks like a new type of sealed cache in the background. i think this reload perspective is also fast fingers which they said was coming to the maynard.

>>1783804
btw the skin is obviously part of the black ornate theme similar to the uppercut ones from last event and new dusters, which isnt bad imo its cool they release a bunch of stuff with the same theme. but i'm pretty sure they're re-using assets from the day of the dead skins.

Is it all cosmetic shit?

my hope is with the new patch they revert the wallpen nerfs, which is why they unpromptedly made the fire changes, incen ammo is quite strong right now even though nobody noticed it. its a hard counter to any explosive use but explosives are hard to hear now due to the audio being bugged. they hoped incen ammo would become popular for money sink purposes and further diversify the "long ammo meta" redditors used to whine about.

new circus-like location being teased, probably just a dressed up sealed cache though.

>>1717321 (OP)
Can one of you sweats please give a returning player all the good info / tips / loadouts. I feel like the Officer is OP cos its one of the few guns that can fire fast and is a 1 hit headshot. Tell me how im wrong.

>>1793496
Every gun is a oneshot to the head, not assuming the shotguns. You can run a derringer and blow people's heads open all day if you want.

But sometimes hunt doesn't allow you enough time to get a headshot, sometimes they're far away, and you have a slow velocity, or maybe you miss and just tag them, nobody is perfect.

It depends on what kind of playstyle you want. You can definitely run around headshotting people, you can try to play close, far, medium, you can prepare for different situations, maybe you use a high damage gun so you want to use fire to weaken them, maybe you want to put pressure on so you can push or relocate with a silenced weapon with bleed. Getting hit with a poison sparks takes you out of the game for awhile.

So, just ask yourself, "What do I want to do?" and then try to find a loadout that supports it. Hunt is a mess, but you can always get really cheeky fun kills with lots of weird stuff and still be very effective. If you like going for headshots, pick a gun with great firerate and sights, preferably one within your price tag, recoil, etc.

>>1793496
cant give advice unless you say how long you've played, when you quit playing, how good you are etc. since 1.5 year or so the game has gotten faster guns, drop range and universal headshot kills, you don't have to go for headshots unless you're 4* and want to remain or ascend it.

>>1793496
There is only one weapon that cant one shot to the head and thats starshell ammo.
Because of this the best weapons have the following
- a good bullet velocity (makes it easier to land shots over distance)
- A good fire rate (They made more spammy semi-auto expensive versions of rifles like the krag or cyclone.)
-Long ammo (Its the best ammo, though unless you snipe you dont really care what ammo you use)
-Has access to poison, bleed or burn custom ammos.

That said, for the majority of the playerbase, meta does not matter and you can really custom tune your loadout to your preferences.
aside from first aid kit being mandatory of course.
>>1793779
>hunts version of twoface vs the jonkler
Still a better theme than having a celebrity.
Also surprising they hid Dorothy Alice considering how rabid AAAALiceposters are

>>1793496
if you suck at this game then learn to play by using a sparks and a fast pistol like officer, focus on outpositioning and "getting the drop" on enemies you're fighting with (not stealth ambushing), shoot once, reload and re-position while the other guy reloads or healing, never double-peek the same angle. always pre-aim around corners in fights.
know when to push and when to retreat, don't sit back and let the last guy revive his teammates when you could rush him 3v1 and he's out of ammo. don't pointlessly crouch around while your teammate just got killed and you hear them rushing towards you or the other one.
single shot rifles force you to take more careful shots and be mindful of your position, sparks is cheap long ammo with good velocity.
dont run into shotguns with your rifle or vice versa.
"better" gear only matters when you know how to use it with these basics.
there are situations where you just get countered like running into shotgun team in a small forest area but in compound fights, try to think from a top down perspective and how to flank and retreat, usually getting one kill opens up a huge pushing opportunity and options.

t. there's not a single person better than me in this entire thread

What elo are you guys? What do you think about the elo system? 6* here. I miss the days when there was no elo. I think they should hide your rating because people are so much more competitive now than they used to be.

>>1795109
4-5
most of my matches have people anywhere from 2 to 6 now due to low population and playing with low ranked friends. they should probably get rid of it yeah, the matches i had recently with ranks all over the place where quite good.

>>1793949
Tired of this false revision. The game does not have faster firing guns, Cyclone doesn't hold a candle to the OG spam guns. What else has been added in the last few years? New Army? Scottfield. Slow as fuck compared to the Officer in fire rate and muzzle velocity. The Avto, Dolch, Crown, Officer, Winnies, Bornheim, etc. used to be a lot more powerful and accurate with far less recoil. Anyone who says the game has become more spammy needs to take off the rose tinted glasses. Some less spammy cheap substitutions were added and people have way more money now but anyone who thinks the game used to be less spammy was a retarded noob in poor lobbies when noob was more commonly used as slang. The game is faster paced because it's been out for years and people have a firmer grasp of the game to be confident enough to play more aggressively.

>>1795109
Adding a matchmaking system based around anything other than ping is retarded in what is essentially a battle royale you can extract from at any time. Just leads to campy passive play styles. Especially with the new rework of the system to trap anyone remotely competent in 6*. The game would be significantly improved by throwing it out the window. You will some, you lose some. You have to option to leave when you sense you're in over your head. I can sense when a team is cheating or just insanely cracked and I often just extract when playing solo or trying to teach new players. If I'm playing with my veteran hunt buddies we can handle any sweatlords team pretty confidently and stand a good chance.

>>1795676
it got toned down a bit when they increased levering to 7 points when it was 4 for a while, but there are way more weapons now many of which fire much faster than the old arsenal, everyone can instantly burn now and burning is much faster.
nobody uses the cyclone cause its really a piece of shit with shit sights, but there are way more things like the marathon, 1865 carbine, krag, auto4 shorty etc now, before people also didnt have access to all guns from rank 1, ofcourse there were winfields, but you'd also see way more springfields, sparks..
for a good while we had centennial dumdum spam, levering spam, krag spam.
the pace has increased a lot once a player got downed, you used to have to search for a lamp to burn unless you took firebombs and even then the burnspeed was slow.

>>1795755
i forgot to mention quartermaster is so easy to use now too.
2 slot loadouts and loadouts in general that cover ranges better than used to be possible pre-drop range when it was mostly uppercut+shotgun if you wanted, the game is more geared to mid-short range than it used to be.

>>1795755
Again, none of those hold a candle to the OG spam weapons before they spent years nerfing them, obviously you weren't around for the ancient, Dolch, Avto, Winnies, Officer, Crown, etc.

Last night I booted this game up for the first time in a year. When I started solo queuing for a game there was a prompt to change region because the host was in a different region. Then once the game started I played for a bout 5 minutes before I lost connection and then my entire internet connection died.

What the fuck was that about?

>If I'm playing with my veteran hunt buddies we can handle any sweatlords team pretty confidently and stand a good chance.
IMO it's not even about standing a chance. People in high 6* who are trying 'be at the peak of the playerbase' camp and play like absolute rats. It takes so much effort to force a fight out of these people that even when you win it's often frustrating. Maybe it's always been like this, but I think that elo is on players' minds when they are considering to take risks in game, and many of them would rather bag a few kills for the elo+kd and then extract rather than fight it out.

>>1795755
new burn rate sucks. Well intended change, but if my friend gets burned and it's not easy for me to put him out, I'm just going to ignore him and fight the enemy team, because he is going to burn so fast that even if I can get him up again he'll be missing too many bars for it to have been worth the risk. 1/2 of the time when my team burns enemy hunters their team just runs away and extracts, or sit far away taking pot shots at us for the rest of the game, because they don't want to risk the elo or kd. I want more 'showdown' in hunt showdown.

tl;dr stop running away, pussies

>>1793949

>>1794865
I played when the game released and checked in every year or two, I have about 50hrs. I play a decent amount of TPS games, and last year I improved my aim a lot so its pretty easy for me to get headshots.
I like playing defensive, and setting up traps. I keep thinking about going into duos as a solo and focusing on hunting other players. I want to try finding a spot not far from the boss and setting up an ambush. I want to go to a location between the boss and the nearest exit, set up some traps, place some bait like a toolbox or ammo, and seeing if I can snipe one of the bounty holders. When one is down the other wont abandon his buddy (surely) and so I'll reposition and wait to see if anyone will revive the guy or attempt to loot the bounty. Rinse repeat.
Depending on the situation I might leave the ambush spot and await closer to the boss to see if I can 3rd-party any fights that break out.
I also wanna chill in the woods along the roads, put some traps in the bushes and just chill and see if anyone walks on by. Maybe throw a chaos bomb to see if any opportunistic fellas pull up.
Whats a good loadout for this style of play?
Also im 4* rn. I really do like the idea of playing stealthy.

>>1796372
if you only have 50 hours you should play trios for a while until you get how the gameplay loop/pace of a match really goes, its more like running into enemies after you hear them or get ran into by them, or the showdown at the boss lair where everybody goes to. the game isnt about stealth and stealth is not very good due to the audio system making you hearable (unless you use a silenced sniper with subsonic ammo which isnt viable people will just run away while you try to headshot with 300m/s velocity), and darksight allowing you to see people 150m away.
its more about keeping track of enemy players and your own location during fights than tracking them during the match desu. you just get a 5th sense and basic logic of understanding "this team killed another team because we heard them fight, we killed a team at the start, so these guys are the last team".
traps are mostly useful inside boss lairs and most commonly used paths towards it inside compounds.

disappointing reaper reskin
also twitch drops are like 3 weeks now starting from the 18th, i wonder if they're gonna drop tons of junk skins to placate people and keep a steady high population for those 3.

>>1796703
fuck that drilling looks great thoughbeit my favourite gun..

>>1796372
Silence build is basically a sniper build, as you are running a Long rifle with a silencer and subsonic ammo. This does two things.
One, it makes your gun near silent from 80m range or further. Two, you become immune to the trait Blast Sense which is basically gunshot wall hacks in dark sight around 200m for tracking.
Anything closer than 100m+ is going to be heard regardless of what you bring.
The downside to subsonic+silencer is that you have bad bullet velocity (300ms) so you have to lead shots more and you cant bring a scope, only a spyglass as a tool and makeshift rangefinder
Combined with Crytek adding bullet drop to the game, you have to really lead slow guns.

You can try hunting bow and throwing knives, thats better for a stealth playstyle but still you will be heard in sites. They also got rid of a buff that let solos crouchwalk silently, so now sneaking around will always be heard unless theres a lot of noise.

You will be happy to know they added more traps at least. Beartraps are now equipable, all wiretraps can be planted on ceilings and walls and they added the dark dynamite satchel - basically a big dynamite bundle that can be setup and detonated remotely in darksight like a c4. It gives a very loud warning though and its expensive, so unless theres a chaotic fight going on people will probably stay away from it or nade it.

>>1796937
he only has 50 hours hes bbasically a day one player and should just do this >>1794865
only way to use silent weapons now is crossbow and you need to be a decent player to really make use of it

>>1796954
Even if I dont have 1000 hour game sense, you could still recommend me builds and tools to try out. "Just play the game" is not useful advice since thats already what im doing. Im looking for information a new player wouldnt intuitively know. Like how you can only self revive once, and if you revive from range it uses up your self revive. Shit like that was mad confusing and theres conflicting info online cos it used to allow you to have multiple revives.
I also didnt notice how important bullet velocity was until I tried a silenced rifle for the first time, which the guy youre replying to thankfully recognized was important to mention.

>>1797563
i did though
play single shot rifle or a shotgun, with an officer or new army. the playstyle is 90% of the game the other 10% is knowledge you get from putting time in it like map knowledge and recognizing gunshots.

>>1797563
I strongly believe that your overall enjoyment is more important than some objective effectiveness when it comes to weaponry in this game. For example, while Auto-5 is objectively better than Rival 78 I enjoy playing Rival a lot more since it's not as much of a crutch. You could jump into a shooting range and try out every gun available to see if you feel a connection to any of them. Ideally you have to properly play with every weapon and tool to get a proper understanding of everything.
As far as personal suggestions go - Lemat pistol is always a good choice for a sidearm, Rangers and Marathon with high-velocity ammo are basically lasers, bleed ammo is fucking op and feels a bit cheap to use sometimes.

>>1797563
you asked how to get good and you got a method and loadout, although i agree with the other guy saying you should just have fun, if you focus on the pvp gameplay i mentioned you will get good in general and if you try to specialize without understanding it you will probably get bored by dying over and over again. i'm a 4star most of the time and play off-meta but basically use 6 star tactics while having fun. sometimes i happen to get hardcountered by mosin sweats while playing an alamo or nagant precision but i'm on a similar level.
there is a bit too much "general knowledge" to take in just from a single post and it doesn't exponentially matter like positioning and general FPS play that applies to this game.
most guns with higher than 400m/s velocity are good, all have their own strengths. but i personally believe single shot rifles or shotgun will teach you the game and fast rifles teach you bad habits getting you killed.

>>1799917
anyway, if you want some tricks, try throwing firebombs into compounds near enemies and then throwing an uncooked dynamite into the fire to explode it instantly, also use more dynamite in general and cook them until the arc of the item shrinks (indicating it will explode at the end, which takes 4seconds), dumdum ammo or poison ammo (sparks does it well with poison) can pressure enemies by making them have to sit behind cover for a while during which you can throw explosives/bombs, incen ammo lights up players now at 40, 30,20meters for long, medium, and compact ammo. if somebody is cooking a dynamite, you can hit them with this and the dynamite will explode.

you can make kill traps by taking both concertina and poison traps, put them on eachother so they both trigger at the same place, i think the concertina's wire should preferably be struck first. if you take frontiersman you get 3 sets of this, however you can take toolboxes as consumables to restock, and i think packmule might apply to this aswell.
drop range is pretty bad on most pistols now so sniping with a pistol on a shotgun loadout is not viable anymore like in the past, but sparks pistol and pax trueshot seem to be exceptions.
iron eye is always good on guns that it can apply to because it actually increases your firerate because of it.

if you like trapping, try to put the thicker part of the trap less visibly, and take advantage of less obvious placements and obscuring bits on the ground (for example in the assassins lair, you'll see), alert trip mines now burn 25 health off, but in general they can be used to put next to red barrels (must connect) to insta-kill, and they can also be used to trigger dark dynamite satchels.
poacher is worth taking because placing traps is quite audible if someone is near.

we're so close to being back I haven't touched the game since the last event. It's a shame they're adding MMR to bounty clash though I was having fun fighting as a 1 star. The fights were hilarious.

>>1799949
Thank you, this is what I was looking for.

>>1800992
an essential thing you should probably know is the 125 damage threshold, you can set up how your health is divided, by pieces of 25 and 50, players have 150 health. if you getdowned once, you always have 125 health, meaning long ammo rifles (unless silenced), will one shot to the body on full health within 40 meters. medium ammo and compact ammo have a damage drop-off of 30meters and 20meters, damage drop-off is quite important and small amounts of damage difference (for example, the new army pistol VS the officer pistol) can mean the difference between 2 shot kill or 3 shot kill when hitting limbs or body at X distance. most important take-away is expect to get downed by a body-shot from long ammo rifles if you've been downed once, and can down people the same way.
also, FMJ ammo extends the damage distance by 10 meters i believe? not sure because i never use FMJ.

a lot of people set up their health with only bars of 25, which means you can burn off their full health with a single fire damage of 25+(not incen ammo, that just chars or sets on fire) such as alert trip mines, hellfire bomb, or a fire beetle explosion.

a gameplay trick you can use if somebody is sitting somewhere but not peeking, is to keep your sight on them, do a heavy melee attack and VERY often they will pop their dumb head out for you to shoot, even at high ranks, its just instinct.
i have a recent webm getting a noscope headshot like that but the steam recorder cut exactly the hitmark and fucking kill..
also don't crouch unless you are specifically hiding your head and can't hide otherwise, or you could very easily get headshot laterally like in other webms in the thread, the head gets pushed out to the side of what is typically bodyshot-height.

>>1800756

Could be really clutch I like this one

one of the new equipment animations looks like its going to be throwing up devil horns like a metalhead, this makes me laugh. i don't get why they dont just make a simple spinning revolver one.

doesn''t this look like a new gun? especially since its in free rotation for the battlepass and doesn't look like a skin.

>>1801583
Interesting. I will try the melee bait trick next chance I get. Im currently messing around with different scoped rifles and the spyglass to get a feel for range in this game. I will try for more body shots if I know someones been on fire or downed.

>>1801866

I can now jump off the prison roof based

>>1803227
if you're talking about the desalle prison tower that spot wont have half the significance it had in the past, the big desalle compounds look like mammon's gluch compounds now especially that one, and theres drop range now lol.
i think this wont be used all that much. uppercut precision on the other hand might be very very strong with fanning, atleast until you empty the cyclinder and have to reload for 6 hours.

Might pair well with adrenaline.

>>1803844
adrenaline is useless, the one darksight trait speeds up regen shots a bit but i still think this wont be as clutch as people think it will be.
i wonder what kind of traps and hazards they'll put in the fools hideout place, im kind of expecting poison traps.

>>1803846
Adrenaline is not the best, but good in situations for example when you get revived and don't have resilience. I also suspect it will be good when you fall from a high place and want to gtfo as fast as possible.

>>1803854
it will be funny flanking teams with a shotgun by jumping through a 3rd floor window for sure.

>>1803883
I guarantee you before the event ends a clip will get popular of some streamer starting his vitality shot animation, then kiteskin falling off a building before it pops and restoring his health as he lands, then getting a 2/3k. It's what I'm gonna be trying to do from day 1.

Hunt back when it was moodier with actual weather and a lightning engine that was maybe a bit unforgiving had great aesthetics. On top of looking gritty the maps actually looked good and not cartoony but at some point they decided to add a bit of greyscale to everything. Faggots overcorrected with fortnite-tier visual popping using their mods unfortunately so Devs decided to make the engine update more colorful in largely an unsatisfying way. Everything is just more now instead of having more vibrant greenery and atmospheric lighting like the older lighting engine. I miss the rain map

>>1804052
the fact that they haven't shown the weather in the videos, and also didn't show the old hunters makes me feel pessimistic. unless they mention them in the stream on monday.

>>1805742
>didn't show the old hunters
They did show a bunch of old T2 ones in the promo pictures, so I'm assuming they're bringing them back one way or another with this update.
But yeah, weather is definitely not coming back anytime soon.

>>1805800
they could easily be having them in the pictures and still not deliver.

>>1805804
Normally I'd argue that it makes no sense to use specifically those hunters in the promos and then not deliver them with the update, but this is Crytek we're talking about so everything's possible I guess.

>>1806185
there was a picture of the hunter roster, and free hunter recruitment in the developer update and neither of them had any old hunters which has me worried. it could just be old pictures though. we'll probably find out tomorrow. i just much prefer the aesthetic of the game when not everybody is running clownsuit legendaries.

>>1806326
I reckon they'll put the old skins as progression rewards skins. If we're lucky we'll get them as Survivor/Veteran variants. If we're not, probably prestige rewards or BB store purchases.
Wait, why tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?

No, the damage you see in the UI is the damage to the upper torso. So the 1.3x multiplier that exists for it is included. Also when they wrote "Torso" they meant the stomach, not the upper torso. So a stomach hit instead of being 1x is now 1.2x, so slightly less than the 1.3x on the upper torso.

>>1808862
it just means long distance fights will be more likely to 2-tap on some guns, and probably less 3 taps on some pistols on arms/legs.
>>1808874
she has an alternate version that is evil/fucked up looking, the face got leaked on the leak discord.

they mentioned her having another version in the stream i think, or atleast hinted at it.
they also kind of hinted at more patches or changes during the timespan of the event it seems, possibly weather conditions being added and hopefully the old hunters.

the burn changes are decent but maybe a lot of people will run hellfire bombs now and realise how fucking good they are which i dont want them to.

desalle clash compounds are basically what you expect, lower desalle, fort bolden and the church.

>>1808884
I want them to do something about the corpse camping rendering solo necro useless in 98 percent of situations. Crytek seems to want to enable more aggressive play out of solos (wich as a solo i would like, it would enable more "fun" styles of engagement and hopefully reduce the dreaded bush wookie population) but I know currently being downed in anything other than deep water means im fucked even then it's no garuntee of another swing at things.
(That being said I don't think I should be "garunteed" another go at it but I'd like it if necro wasn't so useless that more often than not I don't even bother buying it.)

>>1808964
The easiest fix to necro is to be respawned in areas away from compounds.
Players dont need to camp and deal with you again until if you return, you get an extra chance but have to choose to reengage or not

>>1808874
>>1808715
They've evolved past the gypsy face my goodness

i think this is one of the first updates in like a year where there is nothing bad, unless they break a bunch of shit again on patch. i'm sad about the hunters not returning yet though.

just played my last game
we wiped the lobby but i didn't feel anything, it's time for me to move on
see you niggas on whatever shit we play next.

I dont get why people say necro is remotely good for solo.
>But le revive
The only times you are getting it, is if its a trade or in a clusterfuck of a multi team fight
Everywhere else its a waste of nearly half your starter points just to tank your kd even further

>>1810134
there was a brief period when burning was still slow and solos could revive up to 5 times, but that would also derank you badly aswell.
once they changed it to 1 revive it doesn't help much at all anymore. a lot of the whining about it was from shitters who don't even play the game, summit1g or whatever his name is streamed the game for days basically just getting streamsniped, reviving 5 times then crying about it, to 1000s of viewers.

>>1810139
I didnt like 5 revive ethier.
Frankly it shouldnt revive you in the same spot, THATS the problem with it.

>>1810151
dead hunters teleporting around the map would probably cause a lot of problems
the one revive is fine if burning is slow, solo is just very hard to play in this game.

>>1810151
This anon. This anon gets it. Doesn't matter if you can revive once or five times if some cunt is camping your corpse you're fucked either way.

>>1810134
>>1810139
I got about 1500h in this game, and i think solo necro revive just goes against the philosophy of the game.
You chose to go alone, you died, carry your L, and go to the next game.
The Necro solo is unpredictable, and makes messy fights a 'guess who?' - where after all noise and thunder you sit down and burn everyone. This fucks with the games tempo and is against the nature of the flow.

>>1810213
>>1810278
its so you arent instantly fucked when you randomly get snipe headshotted from far away as a solo, one revive is fine since you usually wont make it anyway if you're up against a single team
and solos always are going to cause that confusion regardless, those type of fights are usually very good anyways sounds dumb to me.
one revive with full health is good.

>>1810285
Everyone else is fucked when they get 'randomly headshotted from far away', why should solos be different? I just dont get it.

>>1810295
your team can revive you otherwise
its about lucky random shots

The economy in this game is so weird. First 50 levels I have to take vulture packmule every game, then once I'm 1/2 way through a prestige I have too much money and too many leveled hunters to know what to do with.
I tried playing with some guns today, but crossbow+steelbolts is still the best. For anyone wanting to try it out this is what I'm running:
Crossbow(steelbolts + steelbolts)
Any pistol(In order of preference for me: Uppercut, trueshot, officer, pax)
Knucle Knife, MK, Derringer pennyshot, Flare pistol
Stam, Vit, Regen, Recovery shots

Put a big bar on top if you're taking a recovery shot or have relentless.
You can take a frag if you have relentless.
Bolt thrower is nice, but by no means essential.

>>1809231
I'm not the other guy, but it's just a good high fire rate head clicker. It's not OP but a very strong weapon for sure.
>>1809327
I don't get that feeling unless I play solo these days. Unfortunately hunt is mainly a social thing for me.
>>1810134
yeah I don't think necro is half as strong as people make it out to be for solos OR teams. Spend your points on something else if you please and buy necro after a win.

>>1810285
>he thinks he shouldn't suffer for being an autistic loser with no friends
lmao

>>1810731
what makes steel bolts so much better than regular ones? the velocity is still slow as fuck, do you actually use it mid-range?

>>1810740
The regular bolts are honestly OK. I still use the crossbow at all ranges. If I tag someone far I'll quickswap to the pistol and a body shot will normally kill them. To me, the steel bolts make the drop more manageable in general.

>>1810747
i cant stand getting arm shots with the crossbow since its supposed to be a skill weapon and an arm shot would mean effort is put in, usually i end up using shotbolts but those are the slowest closest range pieces of shit and loud too.
arm shot kills suits the playstyle much better but would probably be overpowered with normal velocity and no sound. i probably shouldn't use it after 2000 hours and never having gotten a taste for it.

New update soon right? will their be a sale tommorow? Trying to get a friend to play the game with me

>>1810278
>>1810295
A lot of bullshit in the game doesnt really matter in teams but becomes a game ruiner for solos. Bushrats who stand stonesilent until they get a kill, 300m+ snipers who killzone a sector of the map, close range trading, clusterfuck fights where everything is on fire, wire or charging at you that guarantee deaths in rare occasions. All of these things dont matter when your teammate can take out the culprit in revenge then revive you after. With restoration shots, the one penalty this brought is also gone.
This isnt even mentioning how solo vs group fights are wars of attrition vastly in the groups favor. The way to win solo for the usual player is to play a complete rat, watching the fights take place and pick off the remaining, or be one of those snipers. Which are very niche playstyles.
>So just keep solo as a hunter must die difficulty
Hunt isnt strictly co-op, you need solo experience to function for when people want to play the game but their friends are busy.

>>1810285
>decide to play solo, making the game harder but get 10 times the reward for it
>NOOOOO WE NEED TO HAVE SPECIAL POWERS
nigga you CHOSE to play alone, adapt or play with a group

>>1811208
>Hunt isnt strictly co-op
Hunt originally didn't let you go in alone, retard. You chose your fate and hated it because it wasn't meant to be a solo game.

>>1811244
>But 10x the reward
Its 6x the dollar for bounty extraction if vs trios, 3x if duo. Thats also the only income that is increased, while being far easier to stay down and kill in the first place.
>No we need to have special powers!
You mean groups infinite necromancer on top of reviving 50m away?

>>1811267
>infinite necromancer
As opposed to infinite self-revives?

>>1811299
You have one unless you get lucky and find another.
Even the painful necro 5 is still far less than group revive spam.

The only time I run sniper rifles is when I see a post made by some clueless casual Dunning Krueger retard whining about solos or claiming the game used to be less spammy. So, fairly often, actually. Long ammo will always reign supreme and it's just shooting fish in a barrel. The gunplay, audio and stealth mechanics are great when people engage in them but the subtle nuances of the game are ultimately negligible when sweats choose to disregard them and people need to give up on the illusion that the game is balanced in any form.

>>1811264
Yeah it also didn’t originally have

they just rolled the patch back what the fuck

>>1811641
This is what happens when your dev team is a bunch of pink and blue haired xirs + pajeets.

I've only been playing Hunt for a year so I was wondering - has there ever been a case previously of them rolling an event back?

Not event, but patch.
There was a brief bug where LeMat one-tapped you no matter where it hit you lol.

Is there a game with a worse UI?

>>1811264

And now it does, what is your point? Hell, if you wanna get real stupid the game was originally a 3rd person PvE shooter. You might be rightfully wondering why that matters and how that's relevant.

It looks like both to me Dream is Tim Burton & Nightmare is American McGee.

Can anyone explain to me why they removed revive bolt?
It what made bounty clash playable and unique from bounty hunt just going in all aggressive complete anarchy matches were had.

>>1817924
It was cancer to fight against, especially when a well coordinated trio are all carrying it. Reviving a teammate shouldn't be faster than reloading

Solochads, vs trios or vs duos?

>>1818332
trios for
- max money
- Because there's less teams overall it means more opportunities to rat the spare bounty
-Easier to ambush fights
-Can join multiteamfights to actually use necro
-The teams are loud as fuck.
-Winning a 1v3 is satisfying as hell.

Finally done with that piece of shit Chunodmg challenge

The noise it makes reloading is satisfying though.

despite the laughable launch, the event has been amazing for me so far, nothing but good matches.
i hit 6* for the first time despite using off-meta stuff in random trios.

but i also started to suffer from some weird lag that definitely is on hunt's side of things, i drop to what looks like 5 fps including my audio for a good 3 seconds, and it happens typically when there are 3 teams near the boss lair which makes it all the worse. anybody have this too? on EU West servers.

>>1818428
we teamed up with another trio and rushed the last team at lower desalle boss lair and killed them to split the bounties.

>>1818441

>has to beg strangers to help him push the compound because he and his team suck balls at the game

>not downing 5 people as a solo
Why don't you simply not die?

>>1818548
because i usually get third partied, rushed or killed by a bushwookie because i didnt bushwookie myself.

>>1818544
there was a fight at the prison with another team that was killed, my idiot esl friend was yelling on proximity chat and another esl started responding friendly, at first they proposed to count to 3 and then we all shot but they were making esl noises at eachother talking past eachother. then it naturally just escalated to continueing on to the last team.

hit markers are overrated

>>1818137
>It was cancer to fight against, especially when a well coordinated trio are all carrying it
Forgive me but I don't understand your point. People shouldn't be using teamwork in team based environments because they might be better skilled than other teams? That makes no logical sense you might need to explain a little further

>>1819307

revive bolt had no counter and had no barrier of access, it was cancer.

>>1819572
>revive bolt had no counter
But players who were revived gave a sound queue and were on low health & stamina often being one shot to any weapon, also being a 'secondary slot' item meant you were restricted to one primary & low ammo pool which is a huge downside to be honest. Not sure what you mean of no barrier of access but Crytek have been stepping away from this design process, weapon tree's only are variant based no and no longer require tedious grinding through every bullet & variant and weapons are "balanced" around in game hunt dollar costs.

>>1819623
lol

>>1819623
it doesnt matter that it gives a sound cue
an instant revive from a distant is overpowered
hunts combat is very based around this strategy of making use of windows such as getting a kill
getting a kill provides a very big opportunity to get an upper hand
revive bolt takes it away completely, you can down a hunter, run at them, and they instantly get revived behind cover

>>1819646
forgot to mention having only a primary weapon doesn't make up for the revive bolt at all
you also dont take in account that teams using this would probably use ammo boxes and long ammo anyway, even though they gave you a stupid amount of bolts already
it was stronger than pre-nerf necro

the maynard works with fast fingers now btw
its quite slow though

>>1819646
You are talking about two different things
Reviving from distance "bad"
Revives in cover "bad"
Both requiring Line of Sight from either team to enable or punish also can be achieved by necro. Using the strategy of making use of windows is still there, players are locked to animations & revive debuffs. It sounds like you are refusing to adapt that the 'windows' are no longer 'safe' despite they are still very easy to punish with correct positioning

>>1819807
when a hunter gets downed they will drop on the floor behind cover, then they can be instantly revived by a teammate whos also behind cover, although it hardly matters
the timing and ease of use of it is overpowered, there is no way to "adapt" to it, it simply cockblocks a push instantly. necro has a long windup, requires the user to be stationary and burns off 25 health which is very disadvantageous. the few seconds alone make a massive difference, then there is also the mobility aspect and the fact that there is no punishment for using the revive bolt, nobody uses necro today because burning off 25hp is a huge problem.

>>1819838
>burning off 25hp
not a thing anymore

>>1819940
yes it is, im talking about regular necro, not solo necro or scarce/burntrait necro

>>1819951
>regular necro
>not scarce/burntrait necro
what?

>>1819957
when you pick up necro ingame rather than picking it for your hunter it wont burn off your health.

>>1819965
Am I being gaslit here?

>>1819838
>when a hunter gets downed they will drop on the floor behind cover, then they can be instantly revived by a teammate whos also behind cover,
So you are upset you aren't able to 'punish' something you never had control over of? I'm having a hard time understanding here. Your example would always benefit the downed team who can either cover or revive each other. You've lost the line of sight and just recklessly charging in would always get you killed whether they were revived or not
> it simply cockblocks a push instantly.
I'm getting this awful feeling you are some Solo player or mid range MMR. Bounty clash is so fast that even revive bolt is still too slow in it

>>1820177
i dont care about clash
revive bolt in a realistic team vs team scenario is very overpowered
downing one enemy immediately gives the upper hand because the other team has to revive or likely die 2v3, if they want to revive, they must give up their location, revive bolt negates all of this. they removed this shit for a reason.

wtf is this aspie strawman arguing bullshit
everyone hated the res bolts. simply playing the game would make you notice how it fucked over gameplay

>>1820186
That was the entire argument, revive bolt was designed entirely for clash. Removing it was the dumbest shit imaginable. Wait were you thinking of bounty hunt? I cannot imagine the worst experience draining your Mmr with revive bolts. Don't think I've ever seen it in bounty hunt

>>1820189
hes projecting or baiting
even in one-sided fights faggots would constantly just run and hide, then run up from behind to shoot revive bolts popping up from some jewish tunnel.

>>1820197
how are you gonna drain your MMR? a team with revive bolts is pretty much never going to lose against teams without it.

>>1820207
I think you're trolling now... Your entire argument hasn't been based in reality, your complaints are conditional with diminishing effects (healthbars) and huge downside of using 1 weapon. You are crippling yourself bringing in a revive bolt in Bounty Hunt which the entire argument isn't even about. It was about revive bolt in bounty clash

At this point I've very unconvinced but alas the developers will always capitulate to the reddit midwits regurgitating some solo streamers biased opinion

>>1819646
Dont argue with idiots.

>>1820189
I assume trolling but the level of sheer contrarianism and pigheadedness on this site is also getting worse than ever. I was genuinely shocked the other day when I actually had a polite argument and the other guy acknowledged something was simply his preference rather than an irredeemable fault of a game. Either way, people need to learn when somebody isn't worth talking to.

>>1821311
gahaha the nasty spot and the nasty trap just a nasty clip

It is the developer's vision

>>1821471
desalle and mammon's have way more verticality so its kind of outdated regardless, i still used lowered for a while but once i switched to centered i much preferred it and got way easier shots after like half a day.

>>1821475
It's funny to me that there were so many people defending lowered crosshair to the death and then practically everybody switched as soon as centered was available.

>>1821477
i use centered now, but in the past people were literally not playing the game due to the lowered crosshair which makes no sense to me because everybody else also had the lowered crosshair, it wasn't a disadvantage or anything.

Finally got a jihad squadwipe only to be booted to the lobby upon reviving

>>1821114
>I assume trolling but the level of sheer contrarianism and pigheadedness on this site is also getting worse than ever.
You say that but did you really consider what both sides had to say? One questioned the reasoning while the other used circular reasoning with just 1 point
of "it's bad cause community says its bad". Jesus christ just with a little bit of critical thinking surely that statement alone is disturbing to honesty believe populism = always good. But hey I guess spotting this is just contrarianism and trolling pigheadedness.

>>1823462
you never even acknowledged the first reply that explains that its bad because it negates a push instantly.
>>1819646
>>1819666

>>1823480
Revive bolt is bad because reddit told me it was bad.

Pretty gud

>>1823488
alright man

>>1823496
Thief stole my bike last night and at first I was upset but then I thought about how the overall happiness of the world increased when someone now owns a new bike over me losing my bike. So whatever man

crytek nerfing the shredder quickly and only removing the revive bolt much later (i think it was still around after the event even?) proves they mostly listen to reddit and redditors didn't actually complain much about it. it took post-event surveys + time calibrating those results and future patches to make the decision even though every non-shit player basically quit the game by then because of what the game became.
what led to shredder being nerfed hard was some rachtaZ clip getting huge replies on reddit and the revive bolt was mostly praised by retarded bugmen going on about their 80 iq wifey now being having a "healer role" tagging along in their 2 star adventures, this is most of reddit when it comes to any game. the revive bolt was also pitched by homereel, with this exact logic, having your reddit gamercouple DnD enthusiast curvy wifey tag along in a difficult niche FPS full of CS pro rejects and russian hackers, with no gaming experience and making it a safer wholesome 100 bayou space.
the hunt sub is retarded and every other week they are still suggesting "revive beetles" and other nonsensical childish cancer because they started playing the game 3 weeks ago and already made it their whole identity to get upboats with their new cartoon style scrapbeak tattoo.

clash was also way better for a few days when they changed it to 4 teams max, but then redditors cried that it wasn't pointless casual "run around with romeros like a retard for 2 minutes" and it got reverted quick. all that was necessary was keeping it for a few days more and idiots would adapt to actually turn clash into what it should be, skipping the clues to get a decent fight with varied loadouts and playstyles.
instead all the shitters sat around dumbfounded at spawn as usual while the one team that was aware, took bounty and safely walked to extract unnoticed.

they also took a really long time to increase levering cost, also put fast fingers at 6 cause redditors thought it OP LMAO

>>1819965

i hate it when people bring up anger or seething like it's some gotcha or whatever. people just hate sincerity and emotion i guess

>>1828142
it was like that before the update, previously the game got harder during vanilla hunt, now it didn't.

>>1823576
I'm still miffed they just removed them. Revive bolts were horrid and an awful idea, but healing bolts were an interesting idea for a utility weapon like the crossbow. It would have been nice to keep them as a healing option and just remove the revive component.

It was pretty funny though, realizing how game warping they were from minute 1, winning 80% of my matches and then being told by trannies they're actually bad, because the idea that you might sacrifice your K/D in order to bait a shot and win a fight was unfathomable. Oh look, turns out the people who aren't retarded K/D trannies were completely right and revive bolts were insane.

>>1828385
removing them was the right move to show that they actually listen to the players, i think healing/support roles dont fit in this game because of the pace and importance of each shot taken in fights, healing somebody will never carry as much weight as shooting at an enemy, it cant have these kind of rpg roles.
