finally a kino OPwhat arte huntop1&2.mp3?
sick drawing I'm playing out of my damn mind for the past couple days. I am probably as good at this game as I am ever going to get. Event is good, starting to hate the spiders though. How do you guys kill these things? The butt of your gun is a better weapon than most melee tools. >loadoutsMartini and romero shorty. Melee variants encouraged.dusters are helpful. Stamina shot if you have beast face.Dauntless grayhound determination quartermaster, beast face if you have extra points.Fill out the rest of your gear with what you like. Not the strongest loadout, but will put some hairs on your chest. Very useful if you play between your team mates.If you take beast face just run into the center of the map to set yourself up for an ambush. Clutches with this loadout are the most satisfying. >incorrect opinions People think gear matters a lot more than it actually does. A good player has a pretty good chance to kill you even if he has a cheap gun and you have a very expensive one. A lot of the guns/tools/consumables/traits most people agree are weak are stronger than people give them credit for. Try everything and you will find useful stuff.

>>2032500GG Huntfaggots!Tarkov is releasing on steam this saturdayPrepare for your already low player count to tumble even further down, knowing that soon nobody will be forced to put up with Crytek's bullshit anymore.Hunt was the best extraction shooter available on steam for many years, and that's about to change now that the true king has arrived.GOODNIGHT HUNT, I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN THERAPY!REST IN PISS!(P.S. I dropped Hunt during the 1896 update and never returned)
>>2058866anyone who was going to play tarkov already is, it's quite niche and far from the same niche as hunt>I dropped Hunt during the 1896 update and never returnedshame. they reverted/fixed most the nonsense. hilarious/infuriating they keep passing off undoing bad decisions as new updates, but the result is the same: game good
>>2058866not that I'm defending hunt (games only just started getting okay as they revert more changes they made since nu engine) but you're retarded if you think that anyone who'd play tarkov isn't already playing it. the real problem for hunt is arc raiders
>>2058866>I dropped Hunt during the 1896 update and never returned>still shitposts>is probably a steam forum schizo as wellYou never left the bayou>>2059075Arc Raiders is a blessing for Hunt and other extraction shooters, more people will become interested in the genre overall because of it and branch out to other games
oh you got conduit? too bad hehe
How often am I going to get killed by other players?
>>2066298as opposed to AI? 98% of times in the beginning85% once you become experienced
>>2066370Will I have to worry about getting camped, especially at spawn or extraction points?
>>2066507you don't have to worry about anything, friend, it's a videogame after all
>>2053988Fanning/levering same difference, mechanically.
>>2066507no just play the fucking game

hello guys i am back, i thought the thread would be dead without me already, looks like you're only on page 9 huh haha
so they are introducing these things, player profiles showing collectible avatar images, gun/weapon/player stats etc, some buyable some achievable, and included with twitch drops. i believe these were leaked in the leak discord. also it seems according to the blog they are only recording stats from when it drops so that seems kind of gay, like you're a drilling main (the best gun in the game) and you can't show off your 3k kills with it now until you play another 500h. some other stuff was leaked also>flamethrower>krampus hunter>some map assets like web event 2 (maybe) or possibly a new map far from now>worldspawn water bottles to put out hunters on fire
>>2104518fuck i forgot the link https://www.huntshowdown.com/news/introducing-player-profile-customization
sigh
>>2033791Steam is filled with this trash.
the upcoming twitchdrops have a new hunter that only drops when you buy twitch subs btw
>>2108834>gift two subs and you get the hunteryikes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-WgQHuQVV8 malonebros its up
oh yeah, something nobody has noticed or mentioned, probably due to the trailer being taken down because of a spelling error. the new questline thing shows a tier 3 hunter attached to a questline, and thats only 1 of 2 hunters shown, i think this is going to mean they are only bringing back these old t3 hunters slowly as fuck through said questlines, one by one.
How do I enjoy this game again? They ruined one of the core features (matchmaking), and it's impossible to enjoy now. It's that, and the population of this game has changed for the worse.
>>2114206>14206How do I enjoy this game again? They ruliterally every normal player has given up. sorry. there's still the vm server you could ping, might get a bitei want to play sometimes but everyone IS JUST ARC RAIDING AND GAY
>>2114223>vm server you could pingElaborate.
>>2114206Ruined matchmaking how?
>>2114354he has a dead decade old /vg/ discord server where they post memes once every week or so that he really wants you to join.
>>21145945-6 stars used to have their own containment bracket. That's also, unsurprisingly, where most cheaters were locked up in. No longer the case. Especially in regions where there are not enough people to fill lobbies. You used to be able to join empty lobbies and grind dollars, but these days they'll put a 1 star in the same lobby as 6 stars before they let 1 star play in an empty lobby.
>>2114794This shit is sweatlord central now. Every lobby has at least 2-3 5 star faggots, wiggle jumping and doing faggot peeks, oneshotting you from 200 meters to the head. Fuck what this game has become.
i played plenty this past event and had no issues with matchmaking in 4-5*, i have no idea what these guys are bitching about unless they're shit players compared to the average. there is a bit of a cycle where tryhards have more presence towards the end and between events but that reverses on the new one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOPMdOu1r8Q malonebros its up
>>2114794They've been doing this for years, and I've been playing this game since 2019.Why would you even grind for dollars?>>2114798So? Get good. I agree the game doesn't really make sense in MMR way since it matches people with the 'pvp stat' so to say.
I thought this was funnyhttps://www.twitch.tv/rachtaz/clip/PoliteSpinelessLionDansGame-YyGrYGnIienq35NLNo they didn't clear a lobby, they got one dude and his partner ran away
>>2115492i've had retarded moments like this myself, but its pretty suspicious in context, pretty specific "memorable" wallbang spot too, the 2 random shots after the realization don't exactly help
>>2115492>>2115551by the way since you're watching that stream, do you know if the spinning animation is available on spitfire too or regular scottfield only? the spitfire is actually usable unlike the others. though i'm wondering if they buffed scottfield now.
>>2114354https://discord.gg/hCSQtmtezE>>2114623not that old. also i made it to spite you winny cunts saying randoms sucki don't think anyone has used it for hunt since the begining of this battlepasss and it's pretty dead, people are demoralizedbut if one person were to enthusiastically ping it might have surprising results>mocking him for playing hunt is not a surprising result on the /vm/ hunt discord server>>2114354i have good experieces with randoms, but i'm not a sweatlord
>Matchmaking is totally not broken you guise, I swearFuck off, you fucking moronic lying piece of shit. Get, fucking, shot.
It's crazy how this company makes one step forward and three steps backwards, web of the empress was a very good event and now they release this clown fest (literally) that is basically them recycling a year old event as an excuse to sell a bunch of stuff with fomo mechanics.
>>2116393>not enjoying the opportunity to fight against a more skilled opponentOnce a scrub - always a scrub
>>2115492What is this supposed to prove?>>2116393Show me your MMR, this is useless.
>>2115553I watched for like 5 minutes and immediately spotted this lolBut every other animation was available for all variants, I would expect it to work with spitfire, but no idea about precision
>update day>can hardly find a matchwow
>>2116626>Every game needs to be an MGL tournamentNiggers like you are the reason multiplayer games are dogshit now.>>2116669It's 4 stars.
>>2116393You can thank solo whiners about this, they wanted easier game because they choose to play alone for some reason.
>>2116835>Every game needs to be a hugboxNah, noobs like you, unwilling to learn and afraid of challenge are the cancer
>have to pay blood bonds to display weapon stats on profile
>>2116884there is a free "most kills weapon" but i believe it doesn't show variant kills like i have mostly drilling kills but its half of the paid drilling kills tag due to shorty kills, i like the hunter profiles desu even if the avatars are dogshit. its obviously a bloodbond sink to guarantee players will have to buy 300-1000BB at some point to afford battlepasses thoughbeit. i like a lot of stuff in this update, i dont know what else the game really needs at this point.
Does the penny derringer make anyone else really fucking mad or it just me.Nigger, you choose to buy mosin and uppercut, why do you get to have a close range option tooAlso fuck the matchmaking for putting me against people with 3.2 kd, I shouldn't be playing against these terminators, I'm not that good.
>>2117435it takes some skill and is loadout specific so idk.
>>2116393Bro the average 6 star nowadays has like a 1.1 kda, the stars mean almost nothing now
running clown skins and seeing a lot of others do the same, even spotted some post malones, based. i love diversity and nigger poz. i will be running the korean girl skin too as soon as i have it.
I think it would've been in good faith to give us option to reset our KDA since every other stats reset too.I dont care of it so much; but it would've been interesting to see where i get.
>>2118086would encourage extreme ratting for a lot of retards
>>2118146It already does, how do you think people play and get to 6*? LolThese people take one kill with sniper then run out to protect their numbers.
>>2118194my point is people who otherwise wouldnt do it might now do it to pad their stats
>>2118208And my point is. The stats are already there, and people can do it right now anyway if they feel like it. It doesn't change a thing if you give chance to reset or not.
>>2117435This is the kind of niggertrannyfaggot-hasn'tseenthesunin3months-vermin I have to play against (we won)
>>2116879Nah. Fuck you, faggot. The glory days of FPS shooters were when skill based matchmaking (however retarded) wasn't forced down everyone's throat. Back then you got to play against worse players (for the most part), and occasionally against better players. Think Battlefield 3-4, think MW2 2009. These days it's all kinds of pants on head retarded. Especially in Hunt. This matchmaking literally doesn't make sense. When a game constantly forces you into lobbies full of 5-6 star faggots, that's the exact opposite of fun. Especially considering that those are the ranks where all the cheating faggots congregate. Kys.>>2117724K/d means nothing. In every single game, the vast majority of people in higher ranks all hover around 1-1.3 k/d. That doesn't mean that they're not skilled as fuck. They are skilled as fuck, and they play against people who are just as skilled. I have a k/d of 2.5, but most of it is padded from when I played with my 3 star buddy and we got easy lobbies all the time. K/d is a worthless and retarded metric that means fucking nothing. You can sit in a bush with a big ass scope for 30 minutes every single game and your k/d can be 5 or 10. That doesn't mean you're good. That means you're a faggot shitter.
>>2119898By the way, Battlefield 6 is GOOD. And so much better than this fucking retarded German shitshow. BF6 doesn't feel like it has any matchmaking at all. And my k/d shows it, too. This is what a good shooter is like. It throws newbie timmies together with 2-3 good players and let them sort it out among themselves.
>>2119917This is simply untrue and factually wrong.BF6 has no identity, the maps are ridiculously bad, there is no point communicating with anyone and audio is like an afterthought.
>>2120069>This is simply untrue and factually wrong.Cope.>there is no point communicating with anyoneA solo's paradise. Unlike Hunt.>audio is like an afterthoughtGood. Fuck soundwhoring.
>>2120210I also enjoy playing games with W and M1. Why think?
>>2119898>all this cope>all this whining>actually uses MW2 as an example of "the good old days"
>>2120246>>2120262Behold. Cucks like this are the exact reason 90% of multiplayer games suck these days.
>>2119917i played bf6 for a while after someone here was talking about it instead of hunt (probably you) and it was boring as fuck even for a BF, icompletely forgot about it when arc raiders released and that game is wasted potential aswell so i'm back here.
>>2120273Its literally you who want to play 1. solo game 2. think hearing as sense doesn't matter lol
It's still jewery but not as badhttps://www.huntshowdown.com/news/developer-update-26-premium-content-changes
>>2120676Playing solo is great, and it feels way more fun and rewarding to win. At least when you don't have to go up against people who both outnumber AND outskill you (that's my main complaint with Hunt's matchmaking right now). 90% of the time I spent playing hunt was as a solo. Teams are for scared little pussies and AIDS ridden gay nigger faggots.>hearing as sense doesn't matterSound design that's good on a technical level is bad for gameplay, because it forces people to sit around and fucking camp or soundwhore. Fuck that and fuck campers/soundwhores. When people can hear every single tiny sound, it makes them scared, and when they're scared, they turn into fucking angle holding or bush camping rats.
>>2120420I'm back here as well, though I'm enjoying BF6. It's just Battlefield, honestly. It may not be as good as BF4 or whatever, but it scratches that itch for me. Anyway, there's something about Hunt that keeps sucking us back in, like memories of an abusive ex who used to be cool and smoking hot, but is now fat and ugly.
>>2120803seems reasonable, im surprised they wont timelimit the premium storyline things, especially since the first one is krampus which makes it seem they're committed to seasonal ones. the titles should be more like 20-25 BB and avatars even less considering how stupid and pointless they look, they should actually put some effort into challenges and make good art for them.
>>2121033there is still no pvp shooter as good as hunt for me, people are just very jaded and burned out on it, nobody even noticed that there have been no balance changes in this update, because the balance is actually perfectly good now.
>>2121052>just very jaded and burned out on itHappened to me after like 1.5k hours. I hit the 6 star bracket, and to me that felt like I beat the game and there was no way I could improve anymore. I hunted John Hunt himself and lived to tell the tale. By that point, I felt like I had killed hundreds of players with every single weapon in the game, and there was no challenge anymore, no novelty. Fuck, in my first 300-500 hours, I got mad shakes all the time, it was crazy, I could feel adrenaline pumping through my veins when in a firefight. But that doesn't happen anymore. It hasn't happened in years. Nowadays it's the guns and gunplay that make me reinstall Hunt once in a while, but when I actually start using them it's like "meh, I've used this shit like a billion times by now, it's boring". I really wish they would add more unique guns, and more tools to kill hunters with. I used to be that faggot that put concertina and poison traps everywhere, and I absolutely loved the bear traps, but the former got old after a couple hundred hours, and the latter they nerfed to absolute shit, because fuck having fun mechanics, I guess.
>>2120978Here it is. The most stupid thing I've read all week.
Sex with Lilith
>>2121213It's the truth.
finally got union suit.
LAST CHRISTMASI GAVE YOU MY KRAGBUT THE VERY NEXT DAYYOU GAVE IT TO CAIN
i saw the new dlc hunter earlier and it looks so ass and out of place, bright red lipstick colours on the very big mask.
>>2122702Hunt is entering its new era of enshittification. Get hyped, boy.
>>2122702Hunt made me realize that women wearing elaborate masks are my kink
>>2123233i dont really care about the existence of them, it just looked shitty, just like 50 other gay and lame skins, i dont think they will do anything worse than they've done so far since the game obviously will not grow anymore.
>>2121121taking a few weeks break of this game sometimes is how it becomes fun again
>game is on sale>blatant wallhacker in bounty clashI wonder if they buy 10-20 keys to last them the whole year
>>2124717i can rarely even get a bounty clash match going, i think its because i played solo for a while and racked up a stupid kd waiting for the last team with a carbine.
>>2123371I took months long breaks. Didn't really help much. It feels like I've already done everything I could do in the game.
>>2124717They probably can afford hundreds of keys, honestly. Cheaters are way more expensive than keys.
>>2126995Cheats*
>>2124717>>2126995game is 50% off second half of the month, every month, since launchbuying accounts with hunt from other countries is literally 3$
Just caught an arab goatfucker with 2700 hours blatantly cheating, he oneshots me with romero when he's looking straight ahead and I'm above himI wish I was recording so I could report him and get him banned
>>2124717>>2128513I got 1400 hours in this game and I've died maybe 5 times a weird way.
>>2128521Bounty clash is full of animals for some reason. Look at this shit.
>>2128590I dont understand what this supposed to mean? Console player is cheating cuz he shot you to head with one of the best gun in the game??
>>2128678Take your ritalin, and then take a second look at the k/d
the circus menu music is so fcking kino
i just saw that the krampus skin has dreadlocksjust lol
>>2128521NA has the least amount of cheaters, bro. NA is like a kindergarten compared to EU, which is like a prison yard. EU has Chink cheaters, Russian cheaters and all kinds of other subhuman pieces of shit cheating their ass off.
>>2131121I play on EU.
How did germans honestly become so braindead? How hard can it be to make a functional reconnect system that JUST WORKS in a multiplayer game? We had that 30 years ago. Can't believe this fucking shit. They haven't been able to figure it out since 2017.
I need someone to motivate me to get into this game again. I need someone's 3 star ass to carry.
>>2131243Probably engine-related stuff.You got to remember they cannot improve their network servers even if they wanted to since some stupid contract they signed ages ago.
>>2131304I think that's a BS excuse. The game feels silky smooth at the start of each event, which leads me to believe they upgrade their servers when there are a lot of people playing at the same time, and to make normgroids spend a lot of money on skins and such. Then they pull the rug and turn the shit servers on again.
i dont know jack shit about servers and network stuff but the only problem i really have with hunt is that sometimes the servers simply crash, when my own internet screws up or my pc does i can log back into the match 99% of the time. something people might not know is crytek loses millions every year and doesn't make any profit or something, i dont know how much money goes into these things though.
>>2131411I read or watched an interview a few years back that they cannot improve the servers since they're bound by contract to get the current capacity; so they're doing everything to improve the code. It would be more expensive to get out of the contract than to get a new provider.
>EU servers>two 6 star and one 5 star in a lobby with 2-3 star playersyikes
>>2133853bounty clash?
>>2133858yes
>>2133862thats because it has seperate matchmaking, and used to show incorrect matchmaking on result screens which i'm not sure whether is fixed yet.the stars just don't really matter anymore these days even in hunt, only 2 star and 3.5KD+ type players are in seperate matches pretty much, with the latter joining the ones above 2.
Anyone on EU ran into the two guys playing maynard sniper with fucked up profiles? I'm pretty sure they're wallhacking and you can't even check their profiles or report them lmao
>>2134417>can't even check their profiles or report them lmaoIt's a bug that's been in the game since the engine update. This game is now legitimately worse and more buggy than it was before the engine update.
>>2135008>>2135008>This game is now legitimately worse and more buggy than it was before the engine update.it was for a long time but the past few months it has been in one of the best states it has been so far, for balance and issues

>>2137805>>2139828grim
>>2140424cheating being fixed is bad now?
it sucks that clash is dead now, the fastest way to farm even points when challenges are done..
>>2142683what region are you? it's the only mode I play on east and west and have reasonable queues
>>2142906EU
>>2142947also people are really good at clash nowadays when i do get to queue in, random teammates all bringing in nonsensical gear though.
Remove solos from this game and you remove the cheaters.Simple as.
>>2145306makes no sense
just got a dolchp skin from daily tribute
>>2145358Cheaters play solo.Cheaters dont play with randoms cuz they can instantly tell it off.
>>2145793cheater play whatever they want to and dont care if somebody can tell or even if they get banned because EAC is garbage and nobody wants to go through the effort of spectating and recording everything to wait 3 months for the ban and they bulk buy keys for the game anyway. ive seen plenty in random trios and some of the top 6* teams are just covertly using wallhacks like a fake natty saying 500mg/week test "TRT" is not roids.
you can buy explosive bolt and frag arrow even though they are scarce. you will get banned though for 2 weeks probablymake a loadout slot with what you want.instead of pressing f to buy the loadout, double click the loadout name and it will buy it.it only works on explosive bolt and frag arrow
>>2145824I will.
Is this hunter rare? I can't find her in the wiki https://huntshowdown.wiki.gg/wiki/Hunters#Common_&_Legendary_HuntersI just reinstalled the game after i don't know how long and had her, since I think you lose your hunters if you die I don't know if I should use her or not.
>>2147142https://huntshowdown.wiki.gg/wiki/Hunters/Prudence_Stallworth?
>>2147142its an old t2 hunter that is now unattainable but that exact one is also a prestige one now
>>2147157Names are generated randomly? I searched Anastasyia Ahnung and found nothing.>>2147160Ah I see, but will I lose her if I die in a match?
>>2147174yes, you'll lose itth hunter you have used to be part of a system where you recruited randomly named hunters with preset loadouts which has since been scrapped besides free loadouts, some of the old hunter skins are now in prestige rewards
I just got headshotted 2 seconds before extracting.I wish I could refund this game, I wasn't built for it.
>>2152556severe skill issue
>>2152589No shit.
>>2152593are you new at the game? there are just a lot of gamesense type of rules that become second nature after a while that make the game a lot easier.
>>2152603Yep I have around 11 hours clocked in but it fucking sucks to die seconds from extracting, even more after going a whole long session only losing.
>>2152644it takes like 100 hours to really have things figured out honestly just play more and look up some up to date guides
>>2152644>>2152710you're almost always at a disadvantage trying to defend the extract if they have enough time to catch up (30 seconds from your proximity to cancel the extract timer), if you didnt know there were enemies following you you probably didn't know that the whole map can see where a bounty is, both in darksight and on the map, not as accurately as the orange 5 second wallhack carrying a bounty gives you, but it shows a vague barrage of lightning on a bounty's location and a lightning bolt on the map. the extract points are also not very defendable at all, which is partly why "extract camping" is not a thing in this game either
>>2152644I have 1300 hours, I feel there are still nuances to learn, and it makes the game fun to play.Did you know they were after you? The usual 'trick' is to drop choke bombs on the way where people are pursuing you, preventing them from shooting and extinguishing most of the nades they might cook.For me, the game is not really even about the bounty anymore, its the fights and player engagement, when i see people bee-lining to exit, i assume they want to go to sleep or something.
post malone will be streaming hunt with shroud and that retard xcq, lets hope they get stream sniped by some of those autistic clans spamming nigger over voip. although i presume shroud and xcq will be 2 stars.
>>2153065>For me, the game is not really even about the bounty anymore, its the fights and player engagement, when i see people bee-lining to exit, i assume they want to go to sleep or something.New players might be doing story challenges that require getting their hunters to 50. It discourages risky play, and (IMO) is a bad idea.
>friend invites 2 star noob to trio>get to stomp the whole lobby with drilling and fanning or dolch within 7 minutes every time
I like to farm PVE in this game with my bow and silenced weaponsYes I do like to randomly jump on people who stumbled uponYes my K/D is less than 0.5 I will use chariot to extend my farming session just as you reach extractionI will place traps at the extractions Deal with it
>>2153619>It discourages risky play, and (IMO) is a bad idea.I should specify I think it's a bad idea from a design perspective. I think you want to get your players comfortable with PvP and engaging with the mechanics fully, instead of running down a map edge and farming XP.>>2153730I mostly play Duos with a IRL friend and we've had some wild games with ~7 teams, multi-team firefights, and the occasional weirdo that camps Rotjaw. Low MMR lobbies are chaotic.

bounty clash is so fucking dead
>>2058866Bros...help meI was inspired by this post to try Tarkov, and it turns out Tarkov is like Hunt except 2x harder, poorly optimized, with longer wait times and no fucking extraction points marked on any map.Who the fuck plays this Russian bullshit? This has to be the most anti-new player FPS of all time, Jesus H. christAnd the worst part?It actually is more thrilling and exciting than Hunt
>>2156372Like in Tarkov, I feel like I'm actually being hunted by people that are a major threat to my survivalIn Hunt, I don't generally feel that same fear because the TTK in most gunfights in Hunt is low (Except for the usual lucky headshots), and most gunbattles are long slogs where you can generally fuck off in the middle of a fight into a bush or bedhind a rock, casually heal yourself because the enemy is too scared to push you, and then go right back to fighting
>>2156380In Tarkov people will hunt you because you have a nice gun, good loot, or because they simply need to do PvP for tasks. In Hunt people will hunt you because you have a bounty token. People aren't as interested in PvP late in a match if someone else is slipping away.

Is bounty clash dead on NA? I cant ever seem to find a game for it
game is fucking up really bad again all of a sudden>trades all the time again when there were almost none before>horrible spawns>bounty clash dead as fuck, same 10 people all the time, 10 minutes to get a match>chink players in eu >new bug where clues can't be taken
>chinks are still playing on EU/NA serverslovely
>>2159228I think trading is a result of how slow bullets in this game tend to be, rather than 100% the netcode.Spawns, though? Yeah, I tend to know if I spawn in certain spots that another team is probably rushing me.
>>2164122it started happening more than usual, likely because of chinks getting onto EU for some reason, the games population is deteriorating pretty badly, despite an event going on.
>>2164429We haven't had an event for ages all the content drops have been is battlepasses
>>2032500play more huntwell i havnet playe sine 20 december but nwo im back to the post malone event and i got oleggadzilla on my site hes havent played hunt but hes a MulitPlayer game vet so he'll ave some good advice and if push comes to showe hell keep my morale up #letshuntwhites!
first time getting bonked by valve. changed name to local retard and got a lot of laughs and people sending fren requests then someone got mad and reported me and valve changed my name to a bunch of random numbers :(
wow no wonder this game has 2k active players i got into a mach got the bounty no one fucking pushes me then i kill the random nigling across the map that got the other one he gets up i kill him again and theres no one nearby so i extracted. big surprise losing 3/4 of your playerbase to team fortress 2 and tarkov at least in those games stuff happends regarldess of how shit they are. at leats i greatueted my bitch to level 50 now ill go play serious sam III 2pacfootball signing out
sweet we have our own schizo now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXGmDsNDGrcflamethrower that was leaked
>>2169532i think it wont be overpowered, just due to the fact you have to hold it while walking, the pumping probably makes a lot of noise and makes people aware of it, and you cant just push without running into the fire yourself, its probably a meme
>>2169532Could be a meme wep depending on dmgAlso at that range why not have a shotgun and just kill them outright
>>2169532My predictions is it will be "OP" at launch to draw in players to make videos & exploit it then it will get nerfed into the ground
>>2169761>>2169761>Also at that range why not have a shotgun and just kill them outrightbecause its AOE and burns and is a novelty meme gun, but yeah. >>2169773they don't want shit like the shredder to happen anymore so i dont think it will be OP, itll basically be on par with dragonbreath shotgun or something, literally nobody plays that so they dont know that its actually quite decent. they're just adding the spiders back in to some compounds and this mid-event to keep players playing.
>>2169779also forgot to mention they are doing a devstream about it, which means it might be a bigger update. i dont know what they could even add to the game at this point other than unfinished crap like tiered quest hunters more tarot cards and gear, weather conditions.
>>2169811You say that most its common dev cycle to make new content over tuned to build hype and encourage usage because the last thing they want is DoA content. I don't think its going to be 'gamebreaking' but I expect it good for what it does and people to cry about a new element being added being "over powered"
>>2169970wildland and homestead are good and nobody cries or even plays it because its not like the pre-nerf shredder
>>2169976I'm not sure what you are trying to get at here. Both the wildland and homestead are upgrades of their counterparts and fulfill the role of pushing power creep. Their scarcity is what likely affects why they aren't played as much with them being relegated to RNG predetermined spots rolling an 50/50 on which weapon you get. They are also expensive pledge points wise costing 3 atm. Shredder during the first event originally costed 2 before the nerf and was marked on the map. Meanwhile the Homestead & Wildland when first introduced their POI was more about the tarot cards than the weapons themselves
>>2170011>Shredder during the first event originally costed 2 before the nerfit originally was 5 pledge marks and later 9.
>>2169532Looks fun. I dont really think this is broken or anything, movement and range is so important in this game this feels like anti-thesis of the gameplay; which makes it a nice meme gun.
If I sit through banish and pick up the token and there's not a single fucker in range and an extract right behind me, I'm leaving. Move faster niggerst. gets salty steam comments about leaving instead of sitting around stroking my dick waiting on faggots to stop stroking their dicks
>>2170601waiting on fags is cancer in this game. same if you get bounty and there's multiples teams outside holding angles and not fighting. i'll just get my team to book it through the open angle.i give them 2 minutes before this decisioneither they end up chasing, and then fighting each otherone team is oblivious and the other chasesboth teams stay oblivious till it's way too lateany way it's better than playing peakaboo with campers for 30m
>>2170601>>2170604single bounty games havent been around for a while so theres always a 2nd to either wait for or go for relatively close-by, if you prestige it makes sense to just prioritize bounty but if you're P100 or simply don't, then pvp-less games feel pointless. its more fun to go for 2nd bounty. it all depends on extraction locations and bounty/team locations though, it was actually more static before.
>>2170613I hate going for the other bounty when no one shows up to the banish because it always seems to end up being a silent/sniper team that refuses to get in dark sight range and just stalks me all game. I'd rather leave and make them waste their time tbqhwyf.
>>2170620they're typically not there for a reason (in a fight, spawned quite far or went in a different direction), empty surroundings after banish doesn't imply they're the passive type, lots of boss spawns simply are right next to a team's spawn and sometimes other teams are at the other end of the map getting in a fight along the way. when you spawn at a boss with an extract right next to it i get it though.
>>2170627>when you spawn at a boss with an extract right next to it i get it though.Personally, I don't blame people for just killing the boss quick and dipping. It's what the game's about. The problem with that scenario is the proximity of the extract, really.
>>2170601basedI do this even if they're in range if they're just sitting a mile away trying to snipemove it or lose it nigga
why dont cheaters use shit like fanning and levering so they can pretend they're just lucky shots and look less suspicious? its always retards using shit like martini deadeye with steering wheel aim getting all the magic headshots through walls
>>2171803Because they can't cheat hipfire spread out, probablyThey use the Martini-Henry Deadeye and reduce the sway down because it can pen most walls and can have the sway reduced down a lotThey don't intend to ever actually use hipfire, they just get magic headshots through walls
>>2170613i'm p100 and don't give a shit about bounty, I go there for the action and if everyone is obviously camping cowardsit's faster to just dip and go to a new game then spend 15m playing peakaboo
>>2171937Had this happen yesterday. Rotjaw bounty charged in on us at first testicular and we barely won, but they shit the building up with two conc bombs and one of them shooting conc arrows. Then two teams outside were outside camping opposite sides and anytime we tried to peak from our limited options we got shot at from both sides. Couldn't work the building, couldn't rotate compound without getting sandwiched, out of heals and consumables, missing bars, 20 fucking minutes of nobody moving. Heard both of them coincidentally fall back to the resupply points and just bolted for extract and got out. One of them was a TTV so went and checked their vod and it was a shitfest all around but they complained about us trapping up the place then leaving without a fight. I hated every minute of that game. Was ready to just reset and get a new lobby going.
Flamerifle out now haven't used it yet but I did kill two hunters using them with a shotgun
Flame rifle is a medium weapon, it refills at oil barrels (yellow). Tried larping as Pyro and used burnt marshal with flame rifle as main and romero side arm and got BTFO'd by a romero with slugs myself. Not sure how much damage it does but I got half a spray on a guy and he still survived and shot me
Flame rifle kinda sucksRange is okay but the length of a spray is maybe 1.5seconds and that uses ~1/5 of the tank
>>2172469>>2172480>>2174032they're afraid to make anything powerful now
>aim at a guy's head deadcenter pinpoint accurate and miss>think bulletdrop is ruining the game again>full chink trio in EU servers
The extra ramps and catwalks made the fort a lot less of a deathtrap for the second team that gets to itI'm honestly not sure how many other little changes were done to the maps with this update but that was the most obvious one to me
>>2176563it seems to be mostly just ramps really
got the game from humblewhats the qrd?
>>2176844look up a guide to play
>>2176851I'm gonna just queue up and be the worst possible nigger I can to everyone.
>>2176874you'll just die without having fun
>>2176844are you EU? ill play with you, but i dont speak on mic because i have severe mental problems. i have 2500 hours and prestige 100 though. you can follow me around like i'm a high level NPC while i carry you and watch you die to AI 20 meters behind.
There's an interaction with the corpse seer trait on the webbed corpses that you can find in webweaver tainted areas to gain a second of darksight.

>>2177326was already a thing in the previous event
is this game hard to learn?
>>2180988the gamesense and pacing is unique and takes time to get used to and master, but when you're still shit at the game it is arguably the most fun and thrilling.watching an up-to-date guide is advised just so you don't spin your wheels dying against easily avoidable AI or run around without knowing where to go. playing solo is really hard though and basically a flex if you're consistently good at it
>>2181007the game is not unforgiving or requiring you to be a god tier fps playerbut after i typed this that post i searched tutorials and see the top viewed ones are all overly long ones, maybe watching an older one would be better. you just need a basic guide for the AI mobs and understanding what the bounty is and does, and that the game's sound is really important, but doesn't make it a stealth game.
>>2180988As an FPS game, i'd say it's maybe the hardest. There are so many details and things to fitness that are completely overlooked in most FPS games today.You don't need to be a twitchy head clicker to be great in this game, tho it helps, but just reading the map, sounds, map knowledge, and understanding the 'flow' will put you already into a superior position and chance for ambush. First shot is a massive advantage in this game, since TTK is low.There are many ways to be creative and expressive.
Best use of flamethrower>throw nade>do not cook>pull out flamethrower>spray nade to detonate instantlyworks really well if you're against good players and you have a sticky. They will be very confident not feel pressured to move. Honestly idk what else it's for.>>2169773this is what I thought was gonna happen>>2170601sometimes I have my own fight and can't catch bounty in time but I get why you leave.>>2170604In this scenario I usually just push somebody. It's not the best decision but it's the most fun one. >>2170620Yes just walk away from snipers. I never push them. >>2180988yeah but the fun is in the learning curve
>>2170604 (You)>>2184501>In this scenario I usually just push somebody. It's not the best decision but it's the most fun one.I /agree/ it's more fun sometimes, but often way worse outcome cause you'll just get 2v1'd. If I can't do it my way I'll just say fuck it and commit to ramboing one. Not waiting around forever for these people, don't mind dying.But it's really fun to run away laughing while they figure out how gay and lame they play and now they're fighting and they all lose and i win. It's a giddy, childish 'I stole the pie from the window' feeling.There's room for both.There's no room for waiting 20m for some group of campers to make a mistake or decide to be impatient.
they need to add a solo-only bounty hunt that always runs lobbies even if they don't fill, with buffed PvE and strong loadout restriction, increased night-time and weather conditions. something that will cap on basically crossbows/bows, single shot rifles, melee, cheap pistols, add some mode-specific rewards like career badges/avatars, skins, maybe increased hunter XP. the casual playerbase is probably way too gay for this sadly.
>>2186232for example>max dollar restriction on loadout, or simply restrict to a set collection of gear for ease of balancing, perhaps no consumables or shots allowed, no special ammo>no regular armoreds, no emptyhanded grunts, increased amounts of AI, more cleaver/lantern grunts, only strong meatheads, poison clouds and fires, no barrels, more ursa mortis >fresh hunter only to prevent shadow/leap cheese, but can obviously pick up from drops, meathead incentive>bosses drop special bounty, no enhanced darksight? >flip weather frequency, mostly night time, lots of rain, serpent moon, ashbloom, firestorm, foggy daytime>no supply points, but towers and lockers may drop useful consumables or weapon, become contested points of interestthis would be the best replacement for soul survivor/quickplay and satisfy a lot of "classic hunt" while excluding the aimtroon crowd who upload breakcore montage videos of their snoozefest hudsight mosin kills on their wide monitor with exploited graphics and in-built pozzed discord grooming tools from china.
>>2186232>>2186244they could even make lore for this>its the aftermath of a hunt gone wrong, caused a horde to go haywire, its night-time after everyones dead already>spawn in rare hunter corpses to loot, gives you better weapons or consumables you cant normally take, unlocks lore entry>legacy hunters with some challenges including lore chapters, boss themed gun skins?? easy money.
>>2186244Yeah lets break up the already halved playerbase even more.What a stupid idea.
>>2186307it doesn't break it up though, it would have different incentives and it would prioritize fast lobby creation, and with the current population of the game they should just merge more MMR ranges anyway.
give drilling incendiary ammo
>>2187079I'm still not sure why that gun is 500 huntbux. Is it really just because of the follow-up shot being fast?
>>2187101yes and it has a shotgun
>>2187189>yes and it has a shotgunSo does the Lemat Carbine but that shitheap costs ~120.
>>2187196drilling has faster cycle time, medium ammo, dumdum option, the 2 tap has much longer range and it makes cooler sounds. though lemat carbine is ridiculous for the pricelowering drilling price would probably make it much more common than people would like
drilling being underused is proof most of the playerbase is stupid and tasteless, i understand not always liking the velocity of the dumdum rounds but the rest are very viable and on par with long ammo, perhaps a little less range but with one of the fastest long range 2 taps and big cool factor. i often read on r*ddit that they don't understand the sight and are aiming with the middle of the pin instead of the ballpoint on top.
reduce fanning cost to 6 or 7 pointsincrease quartermaster to 7 or 8 pointsbuff scottfield reloadspeedmake scottfield brawler normal barrelledbuff uppercut drop range to 120nerf pennyderringer pvp damage and add a pocket romero with no stock and barrelbuff rival spread and damage
>>2189137If you're buffing the Scottfield, make the Pax a little cheaper. It's already a little worse than the Scottfield.
>>2189398pax has better sights and fanning and trueshot variant which is a general upgradescottfield is useless and has useless variants and 500 skins because the devs are low iq turks who are counting free hunter bounty clash and 8 year old stats from 5 hours playtime players who all used scottfield and winfield, nobody uses it but they think its the most used gun in game
>>2189398>>2189419forgot to mention scottfield has abysmal velocity too, much worse than pax. all these pistols should have their cost reduced really, UNLESS they give fanning a better cost compared to quartermaster, it would still fill a niche rather than completely replace quartermaster shotgun loadouts.
>>2188787>i often read on r*ddit that they don't understand the sight and are aiming with the middle of the pin instead of the ballpoint on top.I never understood, even back when I just started, the hate for drillings ironsight, never had any trouble with it myself. Love the gun.
most bizarre shit i have seen in 2k hours randoms EU>g*rmans being consistently super whiny and angry on voip towards teammates while playing like ass, 35 year old men with low test voice going "i fucked your mom" unironically when you tell them to stfu and just play>guy on voip with an electrolarynx, giving out good comms and winning the match with us>PTSD ridden russian wiping 3 trios with shotgun in the compound alone while being seriously aggressive and psycho on mic, possibly re-living the ukraine trenches while doing it>really really gay twink sounding guy giggling and cheering whenever something happened and begging you to bomblance meatheads>steering wheel controls with no audio type gameplay in 5-6 star>2 arabs arguing really loudly and teamkilling eachother for 15 minutes after map was wiped>russians and chinks using some kind of voice translation to give comms, hearing their real voice echo on their mic>whole map dead within 5 minutes of starting match
>>2189419the swift is a fantastic fanning pistol. it sucks at everything elsebut being able to insta reload fanning is heckin awesome and unexpected
>>2189747scottfield fanning is slow as fuck and the velocity is shit too. vanilla conversion and pax variants are the only good dual wield and fanning options IMOscotty needs a buff
by the way drilling shorty has a faster reload than regular drilling and drilling hatchet
>>2189607>wojakkys yourself
>queue randos>get into match>two foids start voiping at me>consider roping>they have accents, sound french>are actually very nice but don't seem to be super english fluent>wipe server and have a nice matchthat was surprisingly pleasant.
>>2192348>ropingWhat does that mean?
>>2192368
>>2192348whenever i find a woman in randoms i know with 100% certainty she dies first and gets the whole team killed, there are a surprising amount of them playing hunt for some reason
