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.
>loadouts
Martini 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.

guns and consumables for sure don't matter much, esp with the one hit headshots, although I always bring fmj. though through grinding prestiges recently, i find that tools really make or break a consistent, easy experience in games. its criminal that the decoy fuses are unlocked last

Loudout: Officer carbine Deadeye, Sparks pistol with double FMJ, Usually carry double weak vitality shots (3 big bars, so I get healed to full as long as I'm more than half way on my last bar) and double wax dynamite.
Incorrect Opinion: I think the dolch needs a minor buff, nothing crazy. up the effective range by 10 meters before the drop off happens.
Incorrect Opinion 2: Flashbombs are----fine.

GG Huntfaggots!
Tarkov is releasing on steam this saturday
Prepare 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)
>>
>>2058866
anyone 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 returned
shame. 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
>>
>>2058866
not 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 isarc raiders

Arc 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

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

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.

5-6 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.

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.

there 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.

Nah. 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.
>>2117724
K/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.

By 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.

>>2120676
Playing 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 matter
Sound 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.
>>
>>2120420
I'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.
>>
>>2120803
seems 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.
>>
>>2121033
there 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 it
Happened 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.

I 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.
>>
>>2131411
I 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.

thats 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.

you can buy explosive bolt and frag arrow even though they are scarce. you will get banned though for 2 weeks probably
make 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

>>2152710
you'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
>>
>>2152644
I 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.

New players might be doing story challenges that require getting their hunters to 50. 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.

Bros...help me
I 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. christ
And the worst part?
It actually is more thrilling and exciting than Hunt
>>
>>2156372
Like in Tarkov, I feel like I'm actually being hunted by people that are a major threat to my survival
In 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
>>
>>2156380
In 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.

they 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.

You 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'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

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 niggers

>>
>>2170601
waiting 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 decision
either they end up chasing, and then fighting each other
one team is oblivious and the other chases
both teams stay oblivious till it's way too late
any way it's better than playing peakaboo with campers for 30m
>>
>>2170601
>>2170604
single 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.
>>
>>2170613
I 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.

they'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.

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
>>
>>2171803
Because they can't cheat hipfire spread out, probably
They use the Martini-Henry Deadeye and reduce the sway down because it can pen most walls and can have the sway reduced down a lot
They don't intend to ever actually use hipfire, they just get magic headshots through walls

Had 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.

the 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
>>
>>2181007
the game is not unforgiving or requiring you to be a god tier fps player
but 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.
>>
>>2180988
As 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.

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.
>>
>>2186232
for 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 interest
this 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.

drilling 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 price
lowering 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.

pax has better sights and fanning and trueshot variant which is a general upgrade
scottfield 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
>>2189419
forgot 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.

sure it's slower than other fanning, but it's faster than not fanning
it doesn't need to be accurate you should be using it close range
it doesn't need velocity for the same reason.
yes it does need a buff
but swift quick reload is bonkers on a fanning gun in an aggressive fight
yeah there's tons of better options and loadouts, but it's a unique fun thing

Is it still good? Last I heard they added bullet drop which people didn't like. I heard they removed ammo types (didn't get deap enough into the game to know if that was an issue or merely fixing a redundancy). The maps were also different. I really liked the game overall and it felt like something of an actual passion project, which I greatly appreciate in this industry.
>>
>>2195902
yes, its good. for a while the game was very broken after the 1896 update but thats all fixed, its a bit different from long ago when it was mostly bolt actions and pistol meta but not necessarily worse, there is more variety than ever now its just that you can't snipe with any pistol anymore.
its also the most accessible it has ever been, no more unlocking base weapons with bloodline, no more randomized traits, events run nearly back to back with cash rewards so expensive loadouts are not so expensive anymore.

i constantly find myself out of reach due to bullet drop, pistols especially are shit now and only the sparks pistol has a decent range.

you often don't notice with rifles because you think you got a bodyshot atleast but itll be a shitty legshot or you think you simply missed when you were aiming perfectly at the head.

What fucking hebrew math does crytek use to calculate slug damage
Picked up a romero hatchet w/ slugs found on a workbench during a long ass encounter when my primary ran out of ammo. Round a corner and meet a chud that I body shot almost point blank, who proceeds to 2 tap with their officer pistol while I stare at them dumbfounded. "I must have hit a limb" i think to myself. NO. damage recap says lower torso, 8 meters, 138 damage. Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking buckshot would have killed him at that distance, but not slugs?

Unironically I was using a krag but wiped first trio at a spawn fight right as the second trio showed up and finished them off right as the third trio showed up and didn't have a chance to resupply, last two shots got a tag but no kill and I grabbed the hatchet hoping to get to a dead hunter to grab their gun. Luv me krag.

>100m is not that far,
It kind of is. The game is lousy with bluffs, hills, walls, and other geography that prevent sniper battles that you might see in another game like Tarkov. Bullets in Hunt are generally quite slow, as well- it's hard to hit somebody at long range with most guns.
>the "most fight happen in compounds" myth is bullshit and irrelevant
I'd say it's 50/50. A lot of fights happen in places that aren't compounds but are still within 100m. I think a lot of people really don't know how far distances really are in this game.
>>
>>2199284
i literally gave you a visual example with the webm, 100m is not far, every map including mammon's has many visible views over 100m, most compound fights will include some shooting from one end to the other, if in this webm >>2196160 the other guy was near the fence across the road near the other houses it would be over 100m and he'd be perfectly easily visible but you would not hit headshots and chestshots unless you had something like spitzer to have the least drop, i rarely run meta like this and constantly have to move so i don't get cucked by bulletdrop, forget even using pistols for "long"range that arent trueshot or sparks pistol

idk. look up the values. i think most ammo can penetrate basically a small sliver of object if theres only a tiny bit blocking you and you're actually visible, you see that with rock sometimes where you can shot through the very edge of it and it says "through wall", the damage screen messes up often too.

I'm interested in kd sure, but I'm just as interested in the other stats like how many bounty tokens people are leaving with, teams wiped, maxed out hunters, total bounty etc.
For reference I have 4000 hours. I met a guy recently who had around the same amount of hours as me but double my bounty which was wild.
I agree with >>2208945, if you're interested in kd solo is great for that. If you're an experienced player the people you're playing against are going to make a lot of mistakes you can capitalize on. It's rare not to get at least 2-3 kills before you go down. If you lose, you're only dying once or max twice.
I think solo is also great for improving as a player, my only caveat is that the game changes a lot around mid 6*. If you yourself are mid 6* and you're only playing solo, you're going to be matched with lower elo players and it wont be useful to learn how to deal with these better players. At that point you're going to have to squad up if you want to keep getting better.

Did anyone use the explosive bolt/frag arrow exploit before it was patched? If you had a loadout with either frag arrows or explosive bolts in it you could buy that loadout even if you didn't have any bolts/arrows in your inventory. A fun loadout was to take both the bow frags and crossbow bolts. Fire a frag then quickswap to the crossbow and use it to detonate the frag a little early(or if it was dauntlessed). If you hit a guy with this combo it just one shots him.

Racist pos’ have no place in the bayou
Man, I’ve got to tell you. I have never been more pissed playing this game as I was today. Through highs and lows I’d always had fun. Even when gaining 42 character levels in a single game just to lose that character the next run. But today, I was in a lobby where one of the guys kept trolling, poisoning me, bonking me, lighting me on fire. After I had enough I put him down and the other guy and I moved on. After we had gotten all of the bounties on the map this piece of trash “magnetar6330” spouts off with “I think that guy must have been a Muslim” “what makes you say that?” “Well they are evil people, they want to kill us all” when I told him that he was a racist asshole for saying shit like that he tried to kill me. So yeah, fuck that guy. Anyway, if this violates any sort of rule for sharing his name that’s my bad. I’m just pissed people like him exist. Good luck on your hunts people, and don’t be like that guy.
