Remember, this is NOT a general.

Also, the abundance of foliage and other fine details along with the muted colour palette of Hunt tend to kill the bitrate of webms, I'd advise you downscale to 720p and use 30fps to reduce compression artifacting.

Can a game start with less than 12 people? I always can get a bounty solo and go out uninterrupted. Or are people just dying to mobs?

>>199578
It can but I haven't had that happen in over a year. Could be people heading for the extraction because of high ping. My group had to to it a couple of times since 1.4.8

>>199578
It can start empty apart from you. If the matchmaking bar fills up the game "times out" and dumps you and anyone else who was queued with you in a server. If a server launches before the bar is filled it will typically be full, or nearly full. Tarkov matchmaking is similar (except people can get into games in progress in tarkov).

>>199578
>Can a game start with less than 12 people?
Yes, but at least on PC EU at least I've not had that happen for about a year. But it obviously depends on what platform and server you're playing at what time and in what ELO bracket.

>Or are people just dying to mobs?
Noobs definitely. And they also tend to play incredibly slowly. To them if the banishing doesn't happen within 2 compounds it seems impossible to get there in time. Also, if there are 2 targets very often people will just go for the other one.

>>199605
God I love late spawns in tarkov, what a good fucking feature.

They actually fixed late spawns, now you have to wait for everyone to load in before the countdown starts.

>>199805
Oh boy, can't wait for 5+ minute loading times while I wait for every Russian with their shitty HDD's to load in.

Even on my NVME Tarkov takes like 2 minutes to load in, not to mention the 5 minute matchmaking times. I love Tarkov's gameplay, but it's so fucking tedious to play that I just don't bother anymore. Hunt is scratching that hardcore shooter itch a lot better for me right now.

>>199796

by late spawns I meant player scavs, not the bug where you get dropped in front of boys who are staring right at you. In Hunt nobody gets in after round start.

It is very repetitive if you want content. There are two maps, three bosses and I think 11 monsters in total including those bosses.

It looks like it has a lot of guns but after playing a few matches you'll notice it's just a few guns and some variations like Gun + Scope, or Gun + Silencer.

There isn't much creativity in the tools/gadgets department too, most of the tools are grenades or molotovs, except you have molotov that goes in the water or poison molotov.

It is very samey but it's really solid, I think the low time to kill makes it a great risk and reward game that feels really balanced somewhat. I personally think they could add a lot more content though.

Great game ruined by dark sight. Now it's just a rush fest.

>>202137
If you want to sit in bushes for 40 minutes then go play Tarkov and rat with a thermal scope. Darksight was one of the best changes to the game, before that no one would actually do anything, there was no incentive to take the boss bounty until everyone was dead so you'd just get to the boss lair and sit there until some retard who didn't know any better decided to go take it.

>>201578
wtf are people talking about lack of pve variety ITT? Do you fucking people even play the game?

fuck off shitter, 5 seconds of darksight is enough to find the tree you're sitting behind but it doesn't allow for some braindead rush bullshit. Go camp in some other game.

It doesn't really matter, you can usually tell how much damage you did to someone based on the weapon, range and whether or not you killed him. For example:
>Long ammo rifle
>100m
>Hit enemy twice
>If he survives I know that I dealt around 120 damage to him regardless of where I hit
It gets a lot iffier beyond 100 metres because dropoff becomes more severe, but would it really make that much of a difference knowing that you did 149 damage instead of 150?

Hunt is probably the best multiplayer stealth game that I have ever played, the PvE mobs mostly serve as a mobile stealth mechanic that adds another layer of complexity to PvP fights. They can still be quite dangerous around enemy players since a lot of weapons in this game will leave you with just a sliver of health so making sure that the area is clear of AI can be an important factor outside of stealth to ensure that you don't get killed by zombies (though they really pose no threat on their own).

Bosses are not challenging themselves, but they take up most of your attention during the minute or two that they take to kill so killing them is always a risk vs reward thing of "can I kill the boss before any players show up?". They can also wreak havoc if left unchecked, fighting players inside the boss lair while it's still alive can become a clusterfuck. Webm related, the boss knocked an enemy down for me which guaranteed an easy kill.

tldr: The PvE element of the game is a pretty important stealth mechanic and adds another layer of complexity to PvP engagements. The only time that I would say it gets tedious is when you wipe a server and all that's left is to kill a boss without the threat of enemies, but that takes a maximum of like 5 minutes to finish the match.

There is no better feeling than stabbing an avtomat shitter to death

No, that's just me aiming during a fight. By default your hunter has the weapon pointed downwards (or upwards if it's a pistol) and you have to right click to bring the crosshairs up, and then press shift to switch to ads, sounds clunky but it's actually fine once you get used to it. There's a more traditional control scheme where the crosshairs are always up and pressing right click goes straight to ads, I prefer the other control scheme though, it's a bit more versatile.

Webm related, that's the default gun position.

I just got this game the other day and I suck at it.

Any tips for a new player who is shit at these battle royale games? I'm really liking this one thanks to the atmosphere, setting and gunplay.

Is there a way to get more information about a match? Sometimes it feels quite empty, and I'd like to know if I actually killes a guy or if he got revived etc.

Is the usual response to enemy players just killing them or is there some kind of gay teamwork I'm violating by shotgunning guys?

>>203110
>Sometimes it feels quite empty
If the matchmaking timer bar didn't fill all the way up before the loading screen, you're guaranteed to have other players in the match.

>Is there a way to get more information about a match?
Not really, not having too much explicit info is part of the game. But you can pretty easily tell if you downed someone based on the death scream. It's unique and always the same (well, one for women, one for men, but both are long and go kinda "Uggh...Ahhhhrgh", with two parts to them). You can also tell if you landed a head shot based on the hit sound. The game is all about having to train awareness of these things. Sound is extremely important, try to learn mob trigger sounds and what is just "random" noise (e.g. there is that one horse noise that the half dead horses emit at a distance sometimes that sounds kinda like a trigger, but it's not), as well as the different gun sounds (you can scroll out in the 3D viewer to hear what a gun sounds like at any distance). Of course you can't hear everything at any distance. Revives can only be heard when you're pretty close. You just have to play around the fact that you know you downed someone in a certain place and they might get picked up.

>Is the usual response to enemy players just killing them or is there some kind of gay teamwork I'm violating by shotgunning guys?
You mean whether enemy players should be considered hostile? Yes. Sometimes people use the voice chat to try and form alliances, but by default other teams are enemies.

>>203110
Apart from opening the map everything you do in the game world can be heard if someone is close to you, e.g. switching weapons, sneaking, using darksight.

>>203110
>Is the usual response to enemy players just killing them or is there some kind of gay teamwork I'm violating by shotgunning guys?

If any fag offers to form an alliance with you, just ask him to come out with a medkit in his hands and blast his face the first chance you get.

God I hate scope players in this game so much. Occasionally you get the bro that has no issue rushing chapel basement with a Sparks Sniper and an officer, but sadly those are the exception.

General tips:

A good pair of headphones is absolutely essential.

Speed should be your default state, and stealth something you turn on when you need it (stop crouch walking everywhere).

That being said, do not make noise unless necessary. Do you really need to kill that hive you can just walk around?

You miss 100% of the shots you dont take. Decent players will never give you that "perfect" shot, so don't bother waiting.

Never stop moving when there is any chance you could be seen by an enemy.

>Decent players will never give you that "perfect" shot, so don't bother waiting

I hate this so much. The game should reward you for being patient and waiting, but as it stands any higher skill player will just bunnyhop around the map in the zigzags to avoid getting headshot. It's so retarded, I'm sick of hearing my teammates "huh huh huh" every second. The movement is in my opinion the weakest aspect of Hunt, but I know that they'll never really change it much because it would require too much of an overhaul.

>>203356
>You miss 100% of the shots you dont take. Decent players will never give you that "perfect" shot, so don't bother waiting.
Maybe I just suck at shooters, because I lose even the fights I start by ambush

>>203646
Forgot to ask, any shooterfags like the webm poster have tips for shooting? Maybe I need to fuck with the mouse sensitivity

>>203411
>>203646
There is a difference between being patient and being passive.

Like I said, good players won't give you the perfect shot- i.e. standing still and inviting the headshot, but you also don't want to start banging away at every glimpse. Wait until you have the advantage to begin the fight (they are in the open, or next to barrels, or multiple people on your team have a shot), but when the opportunity comes, take it.

> You should be rewarded for being sneaky.

You are. Moving swiftly but silently to attack from unexpected directions is rewarded. Crouch walking through the forest is both expected, and no where near as stealthy as people think it is. Positioning plays at least a big role as sound in being stealthy. I know all the locations scared noobs camp when they think they're being sneaki-breeki sniper boys, its predictable as shit. The good players come at you from directions you thought were safe.

Not really any specific aiming tips beyond the generic fps advice of "practice more".

There are maybe a few differences between Hunt and other fps games that you can pick up on. First and foremost is the fact that aim isn't everything in Hunt (though it still plays a large part). You can make up for crap aim with strategy, if you outsmart and outmaneuver someone, it doesn't matter if they have the best aim, they're still taking a shotgun blast to the face. This of course requires good game knowledge and spatial awareness. Also, never underestimate melee, if you get caught out in close quarters with no good cqb weapons, you're better off pulling out your knife and trying to rush the enemy instead of taking potshots with a rifle. Probably the only aiming tip that I can give for this game is to not spam bullets, even mid firefight (unless of course you have something like fanning or levering). Because of the slow firerate and low ammo count of most weapons, you're better off taking a split second more to aim your shots instead of just firing whenever the gun is ready. I find myself missing even the easiest of shots on enemies with no cover if I spam.

>>203648
>Maybe I need to fuck with the mouse sensitivity
How high is it right now? Lower is generally better up to a certain point. Other than that like the other guy said just practice more by getting into fights, aim for heads/upper bodies and shoot while moving because movement inaccuracy is nonexistent and you're making yourself very easy to hit by standing still. The movement sucks and you should abuse it as much as possible.

Kek, right in the mouth.

What do you anons recommend for loadouts? What's good and available to low level players?

>>204264

>>204264
Unlike in most other games, pretty much every single weapon is viable (apart from the poison crossbow, never take that) and loadouts are a matter of preference. The more expensive, higher tier guns are of course better stat wise, but in terms of combat effectiveness, even the $20 shotgun can outclass them if the player wielding it is proficient. A lot of the guns that you unlock early are the game's bread and butter, like the sparks or pax.

Loadouts are mostly about balancing range, you want a well rounded loadout that is capable at all ranges, you can choose to focus on long-range but still have a cqb weapon that you can use in a pinch and vice versa.

To that end, you really can't go wrong with a winfield, the quintessential jack of all trades, the sidearm is really down to preference. Another versatile loadout for low ranks would be the romero or double barrel with a pax.

>>204264
Don't fall for the long ammo meme. It's just compensating for lack of initiative and tactical skills. Vetterli + Officer or Caldwell/Nagant with fanning is great, so is the Winnie or the Precision with the sawn-off Romero. Almost anything in this game is pretty viable as long as you understand its strengths. The more important thing is to gain more map knowledge and tactical sense so you can confidently push and outmaneuver enemies instead of sitting in a corner all day or getting into long range peeking attrition warfare/lucky headshot competitions. At close enough range pretty much anything two taps and since the quickswap nerf long ammo can't just two tap you in the legs within a second so you have the advantage with most lower calibre guns assuming you can aim.

Why do people play like this? Are they that desperate for hunt bucks or do they just like killing braindead mobs? Either way, it wouldn't be an issue if double bounties weren't a thing, double bounties just fucking suck.

>>204764
Yeah, double bounty with trios usually sucks because it's so likely that one team just gets one boss for themselves, but with duos double bounty is better than single because having 6 teams in the same place just turns into a giant clusterfuck.

This rarely happens, a couple of teams will already be dead by the banishing phase and you'll get maybe 3 or 4 teams in one compound. Those rare clusterfucks are the best part of the game imo, non-stop spaghetti western kino with bullets whizzing all around you.

Sometimes, you must become the very thing that you hate. You can only kill a rat by out-ratting them. Not gonna lie, this shit had me sweating though, hearing 3 dudes running around outside is fucking terrifying.

Wait, do character appearances not change as they level up? I thought you could increase the tier through play, not just by buying them at that tier

>>205012
Nope, it's always been like this. Would be a cool idea though, lvl 1-25 is a tier 1 skin, lvl 25+ is tier 2 and lvl 50 is tier 3. It would work too since all of the tiered hunter skins use the same base model just with some adjustments to clothes/tattoos/accessories.

Customizable hunters are still on the roadmap though, so I'm guessing they're working on that instead.

>>205015
>customizable hunters
Great, can't wait for everyone to look like a fucking moron, even moreso than the premium characters we already have

>>205016
They ruined the cool aesthetic of hunters a while ago, you almost never see those cool cowboy dudes with trenchcoats anymore. Still, I'll take everyone running around with rainbow meme skins over the fucking tryhard grey blob skins like Felis and the weird sister.

>>205017
I just got into the game recently and it's really disappointing to see the prevalence of the ugly premium skins
The character design is otherwise really cool, but the amount of Phantoms and Felis that I see really ruins that

>>205020
I don't mind them so much visually, they still fit the game thematically, it's just that they kill variety. Back before 1.0 seeing a duplicate skin in a match was very rare, and before that there were no free hunters, so you would see a lot more of the cool tier 3 hunters. Now you either see tryhard squads all running felis/weird sister skins or squads of tier 1 white shirts because tier 3 hunters are inefficient money wise.

So why are random farmers and hillbillies forming squads to kill evil barn monsters but also each other?

>>205339
I haven't read all the lore but from what I understand it pretty much went like this:
Plague hits the south, people start turning into monsters, people get to cleaning up the dead and researching/dealing with the monsters, eventually people make it a job and start making names for themselves/competing with each other over contracts, this turns deadly since this is essentially a lawless land and the others can be assumed to have died to monsters while the killers make off with the money.

I die from falling down the hole half a second after this webm. My retarded teammate doesn't realize that I wiped the last 2 guys, spends 5 minutes crouch walking around and then gets domed by another team that showed up. It's my own fault, but boy does this game gets me screaming internally sometimes.

I wish they would tighten the spread on the hatchet. It's a fun weapon but its ridiculously shit compared to a regular handcannon.

>>206154
Yea, I love the hatchet but it's so fucking unreliable. None of the other melee variants have such a huge reduction in stats as the hatchet, except for the spectre bayonet, but that one kind of makes sense since the barrel is also a lot shorter than the regular one. Most of the time I'll blast someone at like 5 metres and have to finish them off with a hatchet swing.

>>206154
I was told it was tightened to match the handcannon this last patch
i'm not sure how to test it? of course the stats aren't updated

>>200591
YOU CAN FUCKING WHAT?!!!?

>>206655
I don't think so, or at least they didn't mention anything in the dev stream or patch notes. You might be confusing it with the melee changes that they made to the hatchet and talon variants, which now have a longer, wider arc.

Why did they cut rain? This looked so fucking good bros, I guess it's probably because getting the sound right would mean redoing the whole sound stage and crytek are too lazy.

>>207102
A rainstorm would be a great addition to the game. Crytek are too lazy and their streamer lackeys too close-minded for a big change like that.

>>207017
they cut many thing, the hunt there is now is a butchered, downgraded version of the initial vision for the game.

I feel rainy matches would really affect the way people would play as the rain would cover a lot of the sounds produced by the players though mud would make footsteps louder

It wouldn't have to be pounding rain but more thunder and lightning might change up the gameplay a little.

I'd never play a game like this with randoms, not that I don't shoot my partner though. If we're confident that the whole map is dead we'll have mock firefights with each other for practice and funsies.

Pro tip, if you ever get matched with a sniper retard, just leave the lobby. The small chance that they're actually a decent and not a bush rat is too small.

>>208932
The lobby is never empty unless the matchmaking bar reaches the end. Then it'll put you on a server with as many people as possible, it could be empty or there could be a couple of other players, no real way to tell.

I had this happen too when I was new to the game. I assumed that it was common to not be matched with anyone because I had games where I banished and successfully escaped without hearing or seeing anyone. I was in another game thinking I was alone and I got killed out of nowhere lol.

Is there anything I should use blood bonds on or can I just grab whatever cosmetic I think looks good?

Is there some way to filter double bounties? It's more fun when everyone fights over a single bounty rather than spreads out and you're lucky if you ever even see another team

>>209786
I did, my team got wiped

Do you check your teammates stats and equipment before or do you just play with whoever anons?

Silenced rifles are a pretty shit addition to this game.
The pistol is fine because it serves a nice purpose of quite pve utility in exchange for being a weak pvp weapon, but the rifles are just annoying horseshit for bush campers.

I don't think I've ever seen someone complain about the silenced weapons, they're so gimped over the non-silenced counterparts that they're just not worth taking. The winfield is utter shit, the sparks is more usable but it's still worse than a regular springfield.

Am i delusional? I played my fair share with randoms and i swear half of them are bush campers with spectres who play fucking controllers. Someone else seen these players? They look like a badly trained deepmind with unusual twitchy mouse movements which are too smooth to be actual mouse movements. Looks like controllers to me, but every time i ask myself why someone would torture himself like that. The last guy was deaf who looked like this and couldn't hear a player running 3 meters beside him multiple times while acting like a fucking bot checking weird angles. Did we already reach the singularity or do people like this exist?

The trials are a bad indicator of skill, they're mostly a trial and error type of thing until you figure out the optimal way of doing them. I had like 800 hours in the game when the trials first came out and I struggled with a lot of them, still haven't even finished all of them.

>>210885

>>210907

>quickplay

are any of the DLC's a must have?

>>211109
No, they're all completely cosmetic. Some retards like to go on about "muh camouflaged hunters P2W" but camo makes almost no gameplay difference and the most camouflaged hunter can be bought for free with in-game currency anyway.

If you like the game then just buy whatever DLC looks good to you. The only ones I bought were the Louisiana legacy, Crossroads and Ronin packs.

>>210885
>trials are a bad indicator of skill
I disagree with that. Yeah, there is a good amount of luck involved with some of them (fucking hellhounds spam without bleeding damage) but overall 3 stars require a good understanding of the compound layout and ai behaviour. I think that's pretty important in bounty hunt.

dont neglect quickplay, its how you replenish your roster with free hunters

>>211168
Felis is literally p2w, which free hunter skin has better camo?

>>211336
Felis isn't DLC, you can buy her with blood bonds. They give them out very generously, just do the tutorial or some challenges and you'll have her unlocked.

Camo makes 0 fucking difference in 99.9% of situations.

Would be really cool aesthetically, but too many semi and full auto weapons. They'd have to change the gameplay up too much for it to work and then it just wouldn't be hunt. On the nonexistent chance that Hunt 2 ever gets made (there were some rumours) they should keep the current time period but have an international setting with vastly varying locales, something other than Louisiana. Maybe they could push the period back to like 1905, but any further would be too modern.

What's with these fags that just hold lobbies hostage and try to get someone else to leave without leaving themselves?

Researcher is the best skin, you can not dispute this.

>>211969
It's people being retarded. They don't like the teams experience or k/d and try to avoid the 60s punishment for leaving. Most of these situations take longer than a minute though. I just leave when I feel like I won't get a decent game, which unfortunately is quite often lately. It feels like 80% of randoms are below 1 k/d. I know k/d isn't everything but this is still ridiculous. And almost every time I play with these people I feel like I would have been much better off solo.

>>212205
I prefer Marshall Brewer. Researcher borders on the 'out of place' kind of skin like the phantom. Some skins just look retarded and damage the aesthetic flair.

I thought the specter was shit for a long time but I've come around to it recently. The variants still suck but the basic version is pretty consistent and fun to use

>>212267
I just adjust my playstyle to the k/d of my teammates. If they're decent and have at least 1.5 then I play normally, if they're sub 1.0 I stay 50 metres behind them at all times and use em as meat shields.

If they're snipers or have a cyrillic name I just dodge, not worth even playing the match.

Game runs fine for me on a gtx 1070 and an i5 8400. Get a locked 60fps at 1440p ultra during 99% of gameplay. It drops to like 50 in some extreme situations like lots of fire. Also, fuck lockbay docks, my fps just randomly drops there.

>>212513
>3v1
No different from playing solo. I always try to rescue my meatshields when they die, but if I'm in a really bad spot or the enemy is just burning and camping their corpses I just extract or continue on towards the objective. A lot of the time the enemy doesn't even see me, so sometimes they think it's just a duo and leave, I'll just wait around for a bit and go res them.

There are two ways of playing with randoms, use them as meatshields, or just play like they aren't there. NEVER EVER rely on them to have you covered or making good plays, always factor in the fact that they may be brainless retards. The only real downside of playing with randoms is them setting off sound traps every now and then.

The one out of thousand game with randos that actually know what they're doing and coordinate with you with no or minimal talking more than makes up for all the retarded randos I get matched with. There's no greater feeling than having a partner that pushes with you without having to ask and who can hear shots/death screams and actually realizes it's a 3v1 instead of sitting in a corner thinking he's surrounded by 1000 enemies all the time, all without a single word spoken. Meanwhile every single non-rando I ever got to play with insists on using discord/steam voip just to drown out the game sound by yawning/coughing/talking about random bullshit/calling out gunshots/complaining about how they got killed. Voice chat was a mistake and is a crutch for shit players that need others to tell them things they should be able to pick up on on their own.

>>212640
>Playing with randos
>We're 2v1
>I trade kills with the last enemy
>Teammate is retarded and spends 5 minutes crouch walking around the entire compound until another team shows up and murders him

I love voip, but they should really just add unconditional voice chat to the game since all of the sweats are discord niggers anyway. Communication is such a big deal in this game if you're not playing with teammates who know the audio system inside and out.

>>212648
I like the positional, global voip because it discourages people from using it.

Rando who is shit:
>gets killed by enemies he didn't hear
>does not push when having the advantage (i.e. you killed every enemy except the last one and they decide to do nothing)

Dude you're in voip with who's shit:
>constantly drowns out game sound
>does all the same stupid stuff as the rando
>but you also have to tell him what he's doing wrong, taking further attention away from the game

Rando and dude in voip who know what they're doing:
>barely talk anyways

Unless you want to socialize, voip is mostly a detriment unless you're playing large scale stuff like Project Reality/Squad/HLL. You wouldn't believe how much coordination is possible without it between people that actually concentrate on the game and have their shit together. Not that it's entirely useless, but 90% of the stuff people use it for is. Even most enemy callouts are completely redundant in this game with the sound and ping system.

That said, if they ever implement that mentor system (looks like it's not on the current roadmap, I swear they talked about that at some point), it really needs team voice chat, because that's exactly the thing it's great for.

Headshots should be unrevivable, don't @ me

>>212808
why? "muh realism" isn't an argument

I'm never playing solo again. Imagine your idea of fun with a friend is just sitting around like a fucking bitch to kill ONE person. Solos practically HAVE to do that, what the fuck is the point if duo's are going to play just as fucking passively. Fuck this game.

How come everyone just sits at level 100 and never does the prestige thing?

>>213606
Probably because the unlock system sucks ass. It's a little better now that xp can overflow but having to go through unusable shitty variants to get to the good ones still sucks.

Is this game dead or dying? I just lost a round and spectated after my death only to find a game full of prestige 5, 6, 7 motherfuckers with no newer players except for my own duo

It is somewhat dead during burger hours, or at least compared to EU times. I still have no trouble finding games but they get like 10k+ players during euro hours. It's probably up there as one of the most played steam games now.

how many of you niggas play solo exclusively?

The more I play this game the more I wish I had played before all the spam shit was added.
This game is at its peak when people are taking a slow methodical approach to the fights instead of just whipping out their retard gun and going to town.

>>213881
I do, basically
I've got a friend who plays it but our schedules rarely match up so it's almost always solo for me

>>213890
>spam shit
The ultimate cope for having poor positioning. If you get into their effective range it's your own fault, the vast majority of weapons that I find on dead hunters are still long ammo rifles, their versatility far outweighs the situational usefulness of your so called "spam shit".

The only "spam" gun that's a bit too good right now is the officer carbine. I love it, it's one of my top 3 guns, but it's also downright bullshit for being so cheap and early to unlock.

>>213789
Prestige 5, 6, 7 is nothing

>>213905
>The only "spam" gun that's a bit too good right now is the officer carbine
I really don't understand how that thing is so good. It took me way too long to realize how great the officer is, so I only recently started playing the carbine. I know everybody always called it the headclicker and I thought they were just memeing but it's fucking real. I normally don't get headshots at all, I barely even aim for heads (years of Darkest Hour conditioned me for body shots), yet with the carbine I constantly get 50 meter headshots without even trying. Is it just the long sight posts making me aim higher than usual because I instinctively align my sights to see the enemy's center mass?

>>213949
I might be wrong but I think that it has the lowest sway value out of any gun in the game.

>>203411
>much of an overhaul
not really.
your weapon used to sway a ton when you were zigzagging around which made stealth the main playstyle in early access.
they removed it because of cod kiddies crying about it and added gunslinger ontop just to cater to them more.

i quit playing shortly after that change

>>213929
Doesn't that mean they have hit level 100 seven times? I only started playing recently, how am I supposed to get practice when everyone has played 100x more than I have

>>214154
Generally, if you're consistently dying before you even have the chance to fight back then it's not because you're up against better or more experienced players, it's because you're doing something fundamentally wrong.

This game is just as much about tactics, strategy and awareness as it is about skill. I can't really give you tips without knowing what you're doing wrong but I'd advise that you evaluate your deaths and try to break down what you could've done better.

>>214154
Prestige tells you very little about actual skill. Not only can people just not prestige (seen plenty of prestige 1s with thousands of kills), but as long as you keep banging your head against the game you will be able to prestige. I've had prestige 0s that played miles better than most prestige 50+ people I've seen, not to mention the bizarre double digit prestige players with <0.2 KDA. There's a lot to learn in this game but you have to make that effort, but if you do you can easily outskill people with higher playtime than you.

As the other anon said, tactics (how do I win this fight?), strategy (should I be in this fight in the first place?), positioning and awareness are very important. Probably best to start with the latter first, since it's hard to make good decisions without knowing what's going on. Here's a hint: literally every sound you can hear in the game originates from something on the map. Some of it isn't too useful or even misleading like the idle horse noise which is easy to mistake for a horse trigger, but being able to distinguish all those sounds gives you a lot of power to make decisions. Also keep in mind that the "obtrusive" sounds like buildings creaking/banish sound etc. affect you as much as the enemy. As the other anon said it's hard to give general advice, but start thinking "what's the worst thing an enemy could do to me right now?" in as many situations as you can (including just traveling between compounds). Start thinking about ways to counter that, or even better try finding situations with the least bad stuff and try to avoid any other situations, and vice versa try doing to the enemy what you don't want them doing to you. Also: take initiative, be mobile and don't just get into drawn out peaking matches or even worse bush hiding contests.

I'll keep plugging away for a little while but it's difficult to asses what went wrong beyond "he stood there, I stood here" when there is very little information provided about what's happening in the game even after death.

>>214257
>when there is very little information provided about what's happening in the game
As said, you can actually hear a lot. If you and your enemies are in the same compound, you can practically hear everything they do unless they are only crouchwalking. And even crouchwalking is not completely silent and can be heard if you're close enough. Unless your enemy is already in a prepared ambush, there should always be a way for you to spot them first by sound unless you are causing a racket yourself. Half the battle is getting the jump on your enemy so

>he stood there, I stood here
is probably too late to start analyzing and you're probably still not picking up on a lot of the info the game is giving you (and understandably lacking knowledge about the map and what weapons are best for what). You make it sound like it was a pretty symmetrical situation. Is that really true (think about the terrain, cover near you/him, how easy is it for either of you to disengage/flank the other, and of course guns once you know what each one is good at)? If so, you should think about how you could have shot him first, how to not be where he expects you or how you could have maneuvered so your loadout would have beaten his (e.g. getting super close without giving him a line of fire if you have a shotgun, keeping distance with long ammo, and generally trying to outflank his cover while still being in cover yourself). Ideally, you never want to be in a situation where you and he have equal footing (he stands behind that corner, you stand behind this corner and just keep trading shots rolling for the headshot). Always try to gain an advantage (leave your corner, then take a long way around his side behind a building so he has no corner to hide behind, while still finding cover for yourself). Never just start mindlessly pelting at the enemy just because you see them and/or they're firing at you, first think if you have an advantage in your current position. If not, reposition.

>>214196
Back when the game was averaging like 2000 players at peak hours I always used to queue US east from EU because I would play in the middle of the night when all normal people here were asleep. It's extremely playable, I get like 90-120 ping, though your mileage may vary since I live in one of the westernmost points in the EU. It's not even dead during burger hours, just doesn't reach the same peaks.

>>214548
Ive been thinking about getting into crossbows on my next prestige. How "necessary" are the traits? And how viable is the hand crossbow, think that + Precision is good enough for a fun time, or should I only use it for farming weapon XP to unlock the big one?

>>214684
Bolt Seer is eh, Bolt Thrower is decent but I wouldn't say it's necessary
If you have 4 points on a crossbow character then yeah pick it up but honestly if you're relying on a crossbow reload to save your ass you might have fucked up the engagement

>>214868
Id say once you get to like prestige 5 or so and have a 1+ktd most people wont disconnect from lobbies automatically.
People always seemed to disconnect from my lobbies when I was sub 5 prestige even when they were like 0.4ktd and I was the one suffering if anything.
I guess some people care more about prestige than ktd and item choices.
Youll get 20 prestige people who are 0.4ktd without shots or bombs and no smokebombs running 2 crossbows cussing at you for being prestige 2 but 1.3ktd running officer combine + nagant with smoke bombs + full shots + frag + packmule+ fanning

I think in terms of min maxing you get a free random skin up to lvl 10 or something like that.
So you could buy all the cheaper 200 skins and increase your chances to roll like a 600 cost weapon skin.

You reckon they'll have any interesting custom ammo types? Only ones that they've confirmed are shotgun slugs and incendiary bullets, which will open up some cool gameplay opportunities but are fairly boring concept wise imo.

I was thinking something along the lines of rifle grenades, some anons said that the crytek leak had some references to a mortar variant of the mosin.

Ive seen a few people roleplay as the characters using their weapons. One time I encountered a priest that was going around with an uncle ruckus soundboard preaching about negros and the devil.

>>216129
I mistyped, I meant that I didn't think you could fan any of the nagant pistols because they're all double action.
What do I know, I just take the officer brawler and the crossbow every round.

What's this I hear about being able to select your ammo? Is it just shotgun slugs or something?

>>216462
Apparently slugs and incendiary ammo are confirmed, but I feel like it’s an idea that might get scrapped. It feels needless.

>>216462
It's people fantasizing about the upcoming update. 'custom ammo' is all we know. Could be anything from really cool to retarded and knowing the track record of the Devs I rather wait and see before getting hyped.

I swear to fuck if they’re just different variants I have to unlock with this garbage ass system I’m gonna riot. I hate unlocking all the Mosin variants every prestige because I genuinely enjoy the Avtomat

Can't you just show a hot metal rod down your dick to achieve the same feeling?

I rarely even see the second variant of the mosin unlocked. Usually, once you're rank 72 you have almost enough high level hunters to go for a prestige. I just fuck around a bit with the c&k or mosin and move on

>>216573
I’ve been a masochistic and have been trying to unlock at the journal entries on every weapon variant. I’ve got all of them done except the Nitro, the Obrez Drum, and the Avtomat. I blow all my money and when I run out I prestige.

There were a ton of content updates in 2018 and 2019, but 2020 was pretty bad. We still got new stuff but it was mostly balance and gameplay changes. There's a new big update with new weapons, a new boss and custom ammo coming soon™ (Q1) and a new map coming later this year (Q2).

It's weird how little content Hunt got last year yet still saw a huge rise in popularity. Maybe that will actually motivate crytek to fucking do something with this game.

>>216488
I'm pretty sure that they said the custom ammo will work similar to the lemat switching between pistol and shotgun mode, though the other guns obviously don't have multiple barrels so I'm not sure exactly how it would work. Like if you can change ammo mid magazine or if it has to empty?

>>216806
>don't have multiple barrels so I'm not sure exactly how it would work
Considering they already have a relatively elaborate reload system and UI that shows the rounds loaded individually, I'd assume you select what ammo to reload from, so you can have mixed magazines, different ammo types being represented by differently colored rounds in the magazine indicator. Which would be interesting because that'd also mean that guns that eject rounds on reload have a slight advantage since they're the only ones that let you unload a chambered round without firing it.

>>216829
I don't think that they're gonna do mixed magazines, probably because it would only work on a handful of guns and more importantly wouldn't really work gameplay wise. I can't think of a situation where I'd want to have mixed ammo instead of a full magazine of the same ammo.

I reckon they're gonna give us some way to completely dump a magazine and reload it with different ammo, would also buff the usefulness of bullet grubber if those rounds weren't automatically saved. This makes sense to me because it would also add another layer of balancing to the arsenal as guns with larger magazines would actually have a distinct disadvantage over single shot weapons.

>>216840
>I don't think that they're gonna do mixed magazines, probably because it would only work on a handful of guns
It would work for every weapon in the game. You just press X to cycle between ammo type selected, when you press R it loads whatever you have selected. They already "simulate" individual rounds in the magazine/chamber, so it really wouldn't change anything except now some rounds have different properties. No additional mechanics like a magdump needed, which is why I think this is how they'd do it, it's the simplest implementation of all. And being able to tag someone with a poison round first, then follow it up with a normal round without having to dump your whole mag first seems like perfectly reasonable use case for me.

>>216845
> being able to tag someone with a poison round first, then follow it up with a normal round
This wouldn't work though, without being extremely clunky. You'd have to fire a shot and reload every time you'd want to do that shit which would just add another frustrating tryhard element into the game.

>>216875
What's clunky about pressing R? Especially compared to a system that would have to introduce a whole new magdump button? All I'm saying is if they simply make it so you get to chose which ammo type to load by pressing R, you have all the flexibility without needing any additional features. Seems pretty streamlined to me. If you don't care about mixing ammo types in your magazine, you don't have to. If you want to, you can. Not to mention what happens if you have special ammo loaded but run out of it and then want to do a partial reload. Should it automatically dump the remaining rounds? Not let you reload at all until it's empty or you dump the rounds manually? Why complicate the whole system needlessly by introducing essentially two entirely separate weapon states?

I'm stupidly average, 1.09 K/D at 730 hours, been playing since October of 2019 if I remember correctly. I feel like it'd be higher if I didn't play solo when my friends don't want to play but there's not much I can do about that other than playing with randos.

Can't be arsed to boot up the game but 1100 hours, prestige 37 and 1.99 k/d (2.27 with assists).

I reckon that if I started a new account I could easily hit 3+ k/d, but when you've got this many kills and deaths it's hard to go up. I only recently started getting gud, went from 1.4 k/d at prestige 30 to my current stats. I began realizing how much strategy and tactics mattered over pure skill in this game and consciously made and effort to identify and fix habits that kept getting me killed (stealthing out in the open, fighting without cover, peeking obvious angles like windows etc).
