/vm/ Hunt: Showdown EVENT EDITIONG'day lads how's your event grind going?Post, rate and hate loadouts.Join the /vm/ Hunt: Showdown Discord to find pardners (instead of blog posting about absolute nonsense you fucking mutt)https://discord.gg/wXQGjVTgRemember, no one gives a fucking shit about your ASL, kill yourself for asking. Be welcoming to our newfrends, we were all retarded before we started. Ignore the following:ESLtard
>>673748Redpill me on this game
>>673749Deffo need friends to play with, game is tough when learning the ropes. Rewards smart play. casual enough to not require learning maps angles, competitive enough to improve at. kino setting, gunplay and most of all sound design
For me? Yeah, I'm thinking sparks conversion fmj
>>673753I haven't actually tried the Sharps yet, really should since I like that kind of single shot action.
>>673757sparks vanilla is decent, sparks sniper is S tier
>>673753>not poison
liquid fire bomb is a waste of money over the regular fire bomb
>>673780it just burns on the water as well, right? I pick them if I have spare contraband of them but I don't think I've bought them before.
>>673780>Enemy is in water>Regular fire bomb just goes bloop>Liquid fire bomb still explodes and sets them on fireThis is some MMR 2 levels of penny pintching
>>673811In close to 1500 hours I've never encountered this. If you're fighting someone in water, e.g. an extract, you want waxed dynamite.
>>673811i have literally never ever run into a scenario where it matterswould rather have my fancy skinned firebomb
>>673815Not if you wanna burned a downed enemy that is partially in water and considering one map is a fucking swamp it has it's uses and for 6 bucks more there is 0 reason not to use it
>>673843>0 reason not to use itI have the regular fire bomb skin>not if you wanna burn a downed enemy that is partially in waternot even liquid fire bombs can actually do this, so it’s 6 wasted bucks and you don’t get the cool skin
>>673843That has never worked for me, I think it only burns on the surface of water.
they should add a hole in compounds like the crematorium where you can drop explosives into the lair or something>dude just fucking go into a dark area with shotgun campers everywhere
>>673866>dude just fucking go into a dark area with shotgun campers everywhereThis but unironically
What the fuck happened to the playerbase every single fucking teammate today has been a brain dead subhuman nigger with a long rifle ammo gun stay 500m away from the objective looking the wrong way.These fucking absolute monkeys don't even find a vantage point and should you get downed and set on fire they spend 2 minutes running around in circles in no way closing in to use a choke bomb
>>673896The recent sale got a lot of people in? Maybe it's just a bad day or you've had an unlucky selection.
>>673866>>673877They should reduce match time to 30 mins tßh
>>673900not a chance, today I had a game where all 4 teams fought at the first compound and it was a 25 minute fight, we wouldn’t have been able to get the boss if it was any longer
>>673902*if the match was any shorter
>>673899They all are multiple prestige fuckers and I highly doubt you can get to 100 level in the timespan let alone prestige 10x.If anything the even brought back a lot of brain dead K/D tryhards that think they are hot shit cause they down one enemy every 10 matches without getting downed
>>673908Fair enough then.I'm new and VERY shit at the game but I think I'm only 3 star on MMR. Like, die 3/4 of the time, mostly to enemies who I either never see or to an enemy I do see, shoot at, miss, then get downed.
>>673902That's too bad then. Players need to be forced to make decisions otherwise you have camping until the clock runs out in every second match.
>>673748>Ignore the following:ESLtardWho?
>>673912yeah fuck up retard you have no idea what you’re talking about
>>673930Shotgun camping three star detected.
>>673932blow me, cooncrying about shotguns is the mark of a shitter especially when grenades are so strong and flash bombs exist
>>673936grenades are garbage, just run away when you hear the fuse lmao
>>673949frag bombs have gotten me more kills than you probably have on record bub
>>673955Not saying they aren't viable in three star games.
>>673957right, that's why even top tier players like rachta and hornet take frag bombs all the timeno wonder you struggle so fucking hard with shotguns when you don't use the fucking tools the game gives you to deal with themshit dog
Fuck this game
>>673912>waaa the enemies should have to make disadvantageous decisions not mecamping is a 2 way street you're literally contributing to the problem if you just sit around doing nothing
>>673966>streamerfaglol and lmao evenHave you never dodged a grenade? It's even easier inside a building. Your opponents can't follow up because every entrance is full of wire.The thing is, a mission timer of 10 minutes would only fuck over shotgun campers and it's quite telling why you're kvetching so hard over this suggestion.
>>673971I normally just do a 360 and walk away quietly and snag them at the exit.>>673972*30 minutes, although 10 might be interesting as a "mutator".
>>673972>it's quite telling why you're kvetching so hard over this suggestion.i rarely use shotguns piggy>Have you never dodged a grenade? It's even easier inside a building.less space to dodge = easier, seems kinda retarded niggertry cooking your grenades you fat loser>The thing is, a mission timer of 10 minutes would only fuck over shotgun campersit'd also fuck over people who want to actually have multiple fights since you'll ALWAYS be looking at the clockthe timer shouldn't interrupt regular gameplay and it's already straddling the lineyou should kill yourself NOW 3 star piggy nigger cocksucker
>>673974Go behind the nearest wall when you hear the fuse, that was hard. Follow my stream for more four star expert tips.>already straddling the line at 45 minuteslmfao try getting into an actual gunfight, chicken
>>673981if you had been in a multi team gunfight with actual good players you would know that they can easily last for above 20 minutes with how difficult it can be to nail good hunters downa 30 minute timer means that the team that comes out on top would not even be rewarded with the boss in this situation if it happens at the start of the game, let alone midway through you're obviously a shitter who has no idea what you're talking about because shotgun camping becomes almost nonexistent at 5-6 star and long ammo is the dominant metayou're dogshit and you need to be taken out the back of a shed and executed you subhuman dog
>>673981grenades can be thrown over walls dummythe frag bomb can even penetrate wood walls and kill
>>673983>good players>20 minute fightsApart from boss compound camp fests, I can count the instances of that happening to me on one hand. Must be your special elo. FYI, my crew is five, at times six stars.>>673990You can literally run out of the explosion radius, mate, walls are a bonus.
>>673994>retarded 3 star nigger has literally never heard of cooking grenades in his lifeyou're so stupid lmao>I can count the instances of that happening to me on one handi can count the instances of concertina shotgun campers happening on one hand in hundreds upon hundreds of hours
If I have unclaimed rewards from trials and prestige will I lose them?
>>673997prestige isnt tied to anything but weapon,equipment and perk unlocks
>>673999So I can use a dolch precision and lemat from level 1 on my next prestige? Sweet
>>674002you’ll get headshot before you even see an enemy
>>673996You do know that you can hear the fuse once you start cooking? If you're getting killed by grenades you might want to watch more streamers and take notes. Protip: Literally just walk away to survive.Camping happens every 20 or so games for me. Doesn't have to be a shotgun, it's typically niggers camping with C&K/Slate, Avto or Dolch refusing to pick up the bounty with all the entrances blocked. If Crytek weren't so casual friendly they could save everyone some time. Since this is my last (You) I'll blow your mind: During the beta there was no DSB and that was when fights could regularly take 30 minutes or longer.>>673997No.
>>674006>You do know that you can hear the fuse once you start cooking?and once you start moving the person can hear you and aim can be adjusted, and that’s not even mentioning multiple grenades from different directionsthere’s a reason grenades are always popular in loadouts, because they workI know they work because I make them work all the timeyou’re the one crying about campers when I never have an issue with them, you’re probably just complete shit and scared to take action and cry that the game doesn’t make players run into you for free
>>674006dynamite unblocks concertina
>>674003So just like every game? Sweet!
>>674009No shit, now they know which entrance you're coming through.>>674008Sure you do. You and the players you're matched with are so good a gunfight goes on for 20 minutes until you break out the grenades. >adjust aimTry hitting a grenade, cooked or not, when I can moonwalk out of your throwing range. I get grenade kills when I turn off SBMM or go solo in trio matches. Five stars and above that's a rarity unless someone has to bandage or is fully boxed in and you want to humiliate them.
>>674017you can bring multiple dynamite and blow multiple concertina at the same time, you don’t have very good critical thinking skills do you?
>>674017turning off SBMM won’t pit you against worse players, it just removes the upper limit for matchmaking so you can be put against better players than your MMR would normally allow
>>674018Do you always bring a bag of dynamite just for that occasion? They could just lower the timer and force people to play for the bounty.
>>674029lowering the timer has too many knock on effects that makes the game more frustrating than dealing with the occasional shotgun camper
>Shoot first>Miss everything>Die
Is there actually any benefit from prestiging other than, well, prestige?>>674054story of my life
>Prestige>Get the Night Seer for free as a permanent unlock.Neat
>The flickering lamp was disturbed by a faint breeze, and the shadows danced as Mr. Chary entered the dark cavern. He regarded Ira’s work and nodded. He then turned to acknowledge the imposing, hooded Hunter who sat in the corner, gently stroking the head of the enormous snake coiled around their neck.>“Isaac, you didn’t tell me you had already met!” Mr. Chary regarded the figure in the corner with respect. A rare occurrence.>”He keeps to himself,” came the gruff reply.>The figure rose, and turned towards the Night Seer, menacing.>”Isaac, I believe they would rather not be addressed as he,” returned the Administrator. “The Viper is a valued guest. Show some respect.”>At this, the Viper stepped into the swaying light of the lamp. They were dressed simply, practically, feet bare and undisturbed by the rocky floor. The large snake coiled around their neck lifted its head, appraising the two men. The Night Seer cautiously nodded.>"My apologies,” Isaac said. “We’ haven’t had the opportunity to exchange many pleasantries. I was surprised to find the Sinners were already involved.”Disgusting current year political messaging from the so-called narrative designers (mostly likely the "queer" black woman. Bri Williams) Crytek has allowed them and will probably cheer how they pozzed this game with "non-binary" bullshit just like Rainbow Six Siege
>>674002no, weapon unlocks are lost again, you need to go trough the levels again
>>674181>like Rainbow Six SiegeMy thoughts when I saw the event stream. They're blowing money on shit writing for a multiplayer shooter instead of a new map or boss while introducing more of this casino shit. Fuck em
>>674181>Getting mad about shit no one will read or care aboutWhy bother? Just play the video game and have fun.
>>674212G*rmans are almost as bad as the QuébéqueersIf one tranny or "ally" in their discord hugbox posts their appreciation for this gay writing, then they take it as validation of their spending. If five people voice their dissent there, it's "transphobia", homophobia, bigoted male gamers etc. >>674214>Why bother?These faggots are trying to normalize their ideology by inserting in wherever they can. This will not cease of its own. The messaging will only get more blatantly current-year political in future content.Watch the next boss be revealed as gay furry crocodile-man.
>>674194That I know, I was referring to the instance of Dolch Precision if I don't retrieve my rewards from the Trials and prestige. Unless I don't retain them post prestige(the unclaimed rewards(I know that skins remain unlocked, and can buy them if I unlock the weapon)).
>>674228>These faggots are trying to normalize their ideology by inserting in wherever they can.So what? Are you afraid that they're going to tempt you into becoming a gay or something?Just ignore it.
>>674240>So what?Gay people don't need to stay closeted but they also don't deserve to be put on a pedestal of privileged status in every expression of popular cultureIf these narrative design losers could make their own games/media with "queer" representation, I may find it distasteful but it's their prerogativeThe difference here is none of that has anything do with the 1895 setting or intentions for the game upon release in 2018It is being forced in artificial and deliberate manner Hunt features a unique setting and now it is under attack to become more homogeneous and favorable to our modern sensibilities thus losing its original appealIf you wanted to say how the Spider was a "they/them" because it was grafted out of several humans -male and female- that would at least be coherent yet misguidedThis adds nothing of value to the Hunt experience or world >Just ignore it.The immersion breaking and lore raping character is literally the face of the game currently It's not something you can so easily dismiss Even if it was, it is immoral to support the corruption of art for political purposes It's exacerbated by woke propaganda infecting an established historical setting
>>674270>The immersion breakingNo it's not.>It's not something you can so easily dismissYes it is. I'm doing it right now.
>>674181Is this true? This is pretty bad.Also, the writing is quite lazy and this is the most on-the-nose way to tell this.t. actual screenwriter
>>673922We have a resident ESL who outs himself with broken grammar and schizo takes
i'm 371 snakes into level 12. Am I going to make it, bros?
>>674443there's literally 52 days left you idoit
it's a german company that hired a jew feminist of course they're going to push gay propagandaand all the other employees are also fagsbut everything else in the world is also pozzed gay afat least the people that play the game are mostly based and you can have fun, take the win while we wait for people to wake up>literally have read none of the lore because it's obviously gay and still have fun chimping nigger at streamers and watching the replayshunt costs money and has no real bans while also being a great game, make the best of it
>>674484>Pic relatedMe omw to knife rush shotgun campers in the lair>>673900>30 minute timerMost retarded thing I've read in this thread, 45 is the sweetspot, hunts a slower paced game go back to gaypex and fartnart niggerfaggot. If you can't handle shotguns then that's a (you) problem, not the game t.based sparks player
>>674181I assume in my headcanon that the viper is an edgelord assassin who dehumanises and depersonifies himself as just sees himself as a tool or a weapon But I don’t know if that’s right and frankly I don’t care either
>>674333I think that's what sets me off the most about insert tranny shit. I couldn't give two fucks about if someone's trans or not, but the sheer obnoxiousness of specifying anything is retarded; isn't the point of being trans to BE the other sex? Ngmi if you need to specify whether you're male or female.
>>674501So it's a guy screaming>I have the power of god and snake on my sideLmao, his feet may be bare but they(his feet) definetly aren't touching grass.
>>674494More like t. camps in compound while reading the tranny lore
>>674285>just ignore Western society imploding around you
>>674545have sex
>>674546Seethe tranny
>>674561sure thing incel
>>674542>You disagree with me therefore you use shotguns trannySolid argument there can't beat that
What's wrong with shotguns?
>>674592Nothing other than the extremity of camping lairs with them instead of playing actively. Same can be said for snipers waiting in bushes for someone to walk into their scope. Both are lame choices of play style but if you're not a shitter you can beat them
What the fuck is the black market?
>>674504Yeah, they have the ability to write in novel form, an all-knowing perspective of the situation, instead it is one of the pinnacle characters telling "hey dude, not OK to call they that THEY" and then of course the guy recoils and goes "oh my god HOW DUMB I AM".Instead, they could have, just shown the character and we could take a peek into his culture, history, where he's from, and then on there sprinkle why he is "they" if it's such an important part of the character - which I highly doubt.
>>674504Cause it's a fetish for the troons. If a footfag kept asking you about feet pics in a goverment form you would react the same way.
Bros I just got to level 4 last night, am I gonna make it?
>>674673no
>>674612Basically another blood bond storefront, offering a set number of skins with a flat 40% discount. They have a randomised order though and you can only buy one at a time, so every time you buy a skin from one of the three “merchants” your next option is any of the skins from their individual inventory/listIt’s basically just another thing to drain blood bonds from players to encourage you to buy them with real money. Can be safely ignored
How do we feel about the Romero Alamo lads?Worth taking?
>>674682It's a quicker reload for less ammo pool and no more ammo selection.It will lose in a sustained gunfight to any repeating gun in the game including the derringer.But if you are fighting someone with single shot guns you will win.Pointless Sidegrade/10
>>674682More like Reddit Alamo
>>674673Most likely no.
>>674682It's really good. Romero has always had the best range out of all the shotguns, with the pump you can put sick pressure on enemies.
>>674562dilate your hole
>>674747you first
>>674754have sex incel
>>674682it's fun
installing this shit right now, apparently need frens to play with or its "bad"if anyone new wants to fuck around, hit me up: Scooter#4457ive played br's and got a mic, not fully autistic but you know, we're all somewhere on the spectrum.
>>674682I am shocked to say it feels balanced. It's the Romero, but with a slightly better rate of fire and an extremely slow and clunky reload after 5 shots. It's key to not rush your shots just because you have another shot ready, it still plays like the base Romero in that you are fucking dead if you miss at close range. It's probably better than the base Romero, but it's debatable. I probably prefer the Romero Talon, but both are great fun.
>>674793What region? Got plenty of anons from across the globe in the discord
>>674793Its not bad solo, its just teaches you to play a certain way.
>>674818even if im Albanian?
>>674829I dont care what other games u like to play in your free time anon ive never played albion online but im sure its fun
>>674829ew fucking gross
>>674929kek(it's not btw, t. played on release)
>>674929kek
>it's another "attempt to reconnect but you just get a never ending black screen with loading icon" episode meaning you lose your leveled up hunter and gear because of bullshitI am actually amazed at how every update breaks the game worse.
Alamo is gay redditWhats the based WE DID IT 4chan choice?
>>675196Martini appears to be the contrarian weapon of choice, so that
>>675196Springfield + PaxMartini + MacheteFull melee loadout
>>675196Two bows all concertina arrow + 2x concertina bomb + 2x ammo boxtrue 4chan experience. you accomplish nothing, everybody hates you, but it's hilarious for (you)
First time having a ton of money before a prestige, so I finally tried the crown and king. I can see why this gun is so expensive now.
why the fuck am I even grinding this eventevery skin is fucking shit
>>675399FOMO
>>675399The vetterli silencer one is ok, but that’s literally the final unlock. otherwise yeah everything else kinda sucks
>>675196Nitro Explosive2x Bornheim Extended Incendiary
>>673811just use a frag and cook it properly.
Realistically speaking how many matches do you need to grind to complete this event? I'm at level 5 or something rn and I've played almost daily since the event started.
>>675552400 event points per day, for all 60 days :)
>>674682Kinda men in gameplay.Just makes me want a Martini-Henry Alamo (Hartson device) even more now
>>675123I found a new way they fucked it up this updateCan only be described as a "soft disconnect" On my screen I've lost connection, can't move, shoot or do anything, teammates froze in their last positionOn my teammates screens however I am still connected, all my movement inputs are coming through, still able to shoot etc.I don't even know how you fuck something like that up
>>675196Martini Henry with the swordBonus points if you pair it with Mot Juste
>>675552subtract the number of points you have from 24700 and divide the result by the remaining number of days. I need 440 a day now, which won't happen as a solo unless the server leaves and one bounty remains untouched.
>now closer to top 25% than top 50%Just unlocked the Alofs. Ian said that the mousetrap contraption was $5-6 why does it nearly triple the price of the romero?
>>675716the skill to modify the gun without fucking it up has a costits still less than $100 stfu
Why does the Berthier deadeye not get any attention? For the longest time they refused to add the Deadeye scope to any long ammo weapons because it would be OP, and now here it is and you hardly see it get used. It's such a great gun IMO, it dominates in fights between 30-100m since the deadeye scope is just better than the sniper or marksman until you get into extreme long ranges.
>>675729>screws an already cheap contraption to a cheap shotgun(compared to the rest)>"That 'ill be $50+tip"lmao, someone is getting scammed and it's us
>>675565>>675673Really the event is set up so that you will buy the boosters for real money. I get they wanna monetize but the whole thing becomes a tedious grind for what is honestly some of the worst skins yet.
>>675750It would feel slightly less scummy if the range was at least 20m. For all I care the boost could give 200% bonus but at least let me find the damn snakes. The current range is abysmal.And also who is the target audience? Judging by the leaderboard only 15%-20% of total players are on the right track to finish the event. Assuming that 10% of the entire community gets to level 20, how many would purchase bloodbonds to buy the battlepass? And of the ones who buy how many would buy 1750(2x300 + 1x1150)? And yes I know that the skin also sells. It's just extremely grindy.
>haven't won a single team fight in 10 gamesi love hunt :^)
>>675765As a guy with no life I have only played this game when off work and if you make it to 20 without a booster you'll be able to just buy the pass. I'm at level 12 and have 1k bloodbonds without spending a dime.
>>675716hunt dollars are not equivalent to real life 1895 dollars
>>675741I'll kick your ass with the iron sights every time, noob.
>>675750dont forget this shit costs 40 dollars to buy
How does fire damage and destroyed health chunks work?Does the health only get destroyed by a certain damage threshold?If your bars are scorched and does also represent your current health?
>>675991if on fire, your health bars will begin to burn starting from the right side (ie if you're at 100 health and take 50 fire damage, you'll still be at 100 health)burned health, marked by a grey ashy texture, will be unable to regenerate for a long time as the burn slowly disappears. if you burn the entirety of a health bar, that bar is gone permanently.once a bar is permanently burned, there are only two ways to get that health back - either banish a bounty, or extract and use upgrade points in the lobby to regain those health bars.
how the fuck do i deal with retards camping clues, i'll hear the clue be red, they'll hide just out of range and then i'll have no idea where they are because they don't move, is it just "lmao retard skill issue" or is there a genuine counter to it
>>675997Grow some balls and go for the clue.
>>675997Force them to move with throwables once you know a general directionI think choke bomb smoke still goes through wallsHonorary mention to hive bombs being fixed nowYou can even bait them with fuse decoys
>>675996>if you burn the entirety of a health bar, that bar is gone permanently.Does that only proc from being 'on fire' ticking down as opposed to taking a flat amount of fire damage from firebomb/ incendiary ammo? I feel as if I have seen my multiple health chunks ashed out but am still able to heal to full
>>676002when i do i just get headshot or shotgunned, every time, granted, i typically play solo
>>676009Then learn how to fake and draw their shot. Or skip the clue entirely.
>>676008should happen either way, yeahi'm pretty sure hellfire bombs consistently burn a small bar immediately
How have they still not fixed the fucking reload bug? Every game I have at least one instance where I need to reload and it just gets interrupted. With double barrel shotguns especially it's a disaster. By all means though Jewtek, keep pouring every man hour into your grindfest event.
>>676014literally never happened to memaybe get a better computer? fag? lol
>>675997If they are really going hard on the totally silent corner camping, you can just fuck off and go to a different clue. Or if it's exposed, back off and act like you are leaving then watch it from outside of red clue range. Bonus points for triggering distant crows with silent weapons. If you are in a group, you can also just start throwing bombs and chokes into likely hiding spots and wallbanging if you have suitable weapons, they will likely start moving around and making sounds if you even get close.If this is somehow a normal problem for you, serpent is the hard counter to that strategy.
finally finished the event
>>676248how
>>676251playing the video game
>>676254well fuck that
>>676256it's doable in a day if you win every match like rachta
>only 25% have reached at least level 6 after 10 daysAnd it'll get even harder, how much % will finish the battlepass in less 50 days?
>>676355How many points do you need for the full completion?
>>676395around 24.000
>>676103Do you think bugs are dependent on your gpu retard? Maybe you need to play more than 20 hours noob nigger.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7EzM-JFgm0
>>67639524,700 exactly
>>676404you think bugs are dependent on playtime?
I honestly thought about spending 1500 on the pass actually there's nothing worth it in there
>>676563Yes, the more playtime the more amount of times you are likely to encounter a bug.Since you likely bought the game on sale a month ago and have clocked 20 hours you don't know what you're talking about but still felt the need to chime in for some reason.
>>676577you get 1k back for completing it anyway it’s basically 500 bb
>>676599if you complete it, but I honestly cant be bothered to
>>676595k but you literally said it happened every game so sounds like youre the dumbass bitch here
>>674682reddit gun.Delay between shots is so high that it almost is a regular romero, and loses to any other multi shot shotgun and even fanning (assuming your first shot doesnt kill), but it is still faster than the regular romero.Im surprised crytek managed to not fuck it up. But it was fairly easy, make it slow as fuck, like the regular romero, but just slightly faster. No ammo switching and less ammo from boxes does hte rest.You can almost feel how they slowed down the animation to make it shitty enough not to break the game. Almost dolch reload levels of artificiality.
>>674793what server.
>>675997throwables, patience, wait outside of the red clue range to hear if they move, or just run away to the next clue if you dont trust it. Especially as a solo youre fast so why spend 10 minutes sneaking around the clue if you can just run to the next one
>>677188disregard that, I suck cocks.Im still down to play with you since you probably play EU as well. if youre still looking for friends
punk
Solo match using nothing except bow and bomb lance. Died in a trade with last guy from bounty team. My arrow vs his uppercut bullet.Feels bad man.
I'm at level 14 on the battle pass. You?
>>678123finished it 2 days ago
>>678126Damn, and I thought I moved fast.
>>678128it felt a lot slower for me, I finished the Christmas event in 3 days
>>678123Got the dynamite skin today, dunno which level it is on.
Should I take the offer? Or does this skin go on discount regularly at a better BB price
How do I reset my graphics stuff since it's a new patch? I haven't played in a long time. Do i have to delete a folder?
>>678626good deal
>>678782you do
>>678801The one with hunt.exe?
>>678802user folder where hunt.exe is located
>>674214>t. boiled frog
>>674682genuinely a good reason to take slugsmax range slugs being put out every 1.5 secondsunless you enjoy taking two ammo types, the Alamo is almost a direct upgrade to the regular Romero
New to the game, I wanted to know what the hell is this black market? This means I can buy this legendary hunter just like that? 40% off? Is there any catch? Should I buy it with my 571 points?
>>679306It's basically just random bundles and skins and stuff, generally for a reduced price. I haven't really used it myself, but afaik there's no downside
I see people talking about how impossible this event is but I haven't bought any boosts and haven't even necessarily been playing every day and I'm still like 9 or 10 levels in with nearly 50 days to go in this thing. Unless I just stop playing entirely, I don't know how I wouldn't finish.
>>679360Thanks anon, still wondering if I should reroll, get the Redshirt guy or the Mountain Man.
>>679364Because the amount of points you need goes up every level. At 9-10 you're not even halfway done. If you continue at this same pace you'll probably finish with 10 or fewer days left, people with more restrictive schedules just won't get finished. Which isn't inherently bad, if the event is designed around people who literally play once a week then it's a shit experience for people who play every day and who does a company want to cater to more? So people will be upset, but overall I feel like they're at a good balance. The idea is to get people to buy the paypiggy shit and it's probably working/going to work.
>>679364That's people who play a few matches a week. I've only played my normal amount after work and i'm at level 16. Mostly just getting points looting dead hunters and playing the game normally. No boosts besides the free one either.
>>679418>So people will be upset, but overall I feel like they're at a good balance.I guess we'll see by the end of the event the % of those who got to the last level.
Would hunt be better if there were some more destructible environments besides windows and doors? Like some walls could be blown up?
>>679486Imagine utterly demolishing a compound with a few dynamite packs
>>679507that would be kind of silly, wouldn't it anon?
>>679509It would solve the camping problem at least.
>>678626DUDE
I need your favorite Quartermaster loadouts RIGHT NOW.Silenced vetterli with the romero hatchet has been pretty fun tbdesu
>>679507>>679509>>679511>buy four molotovs>buy incendiary ammo>burn down every compound
>>679587Sparks sniper + bornheim match
>>676775its the cheapest most reliable slug shotgun so it still has a niche
>reached event level 9>just hit me im grinding for skins I'll never use>while im already burned out on the game as is
this loadout (which has largely remained the same for the better part of a year other than changing skins) is in my opinion the most versatile, and therefore best i have ever used. it's my favorite.>viable at any range>two extremely strong weapons>can speedrun through bosses and ai>can play super aggro or super passive
>>679773>1 small and 1 vit shotwhy
>>679773https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkt0jAow8qYdirty fucking bush rat lmoa
>>679774To save money. If I have three 50 bars or one 50, two 25s and a 50 I'll only bring weak vitality shots since they'll eventually heal you to full if you're above 25 health.When I have two 25s in the last slot though, I bring one weak vitality and one normal.It makes sense if you think about it. I also only carry two weak shots if I have doctor.
>>679800>>It makes sense if you think about it.Not really
>>679776https://streamable.com/0sunmkHardly a bush rat. This clip was from like 20 minutes ago.
Redpill me on the Romero
>>679811cheaptightest spreadgood damage over rangecan switch to alt ammo types, penny shot for bosses is a fan favoriteits the best shotgun until youve shot it, then its the worst until its reloaded
>>679811its as expensive as throwing axes
>>679800the point of a vit shot is to heal you to full asap in a tight situation, not act as medkit charge 4tf is wrong with you

>>679933>this is your brain on sparks snipernot even once
>365 hours in the game>prestiged only once>constantly between high 4* or low 5*>1.45 KDR>permanently poorI will never understand the people who insist money doesn't matter in this game. I know I'm not great, but I'm certainly not dogshit or anything.
>>679958i prestige the instant i hit 100 and every prestige i have about 17k, are you buying mosins every game or something
>>679587sparks with poison ammoshorty specter with bleed ammoWombo combo
>>679988I keep things about equal to my income. So when stuff is going good I splurge on big vit shots, frag bombs, and good guns every match. Personal favorite is the Berthier or Sparks w/ poison. Normally an Officer or Spitfire for sidearm. When on a losing streak I dial it back to cheaper shit like double small shots, winfields, etc. Are the people with shittons of dosh just always running cheap to mid loadouts? What's the point of having money if you aren't spending it?
>>679773Change that crossbow to a Lemat fmj slugs and the knife to knuckle knife then we gaming, I prefer wax dynamite over firebomb but I can see reasons to be bringing firebombs to force engagements
>>679587Sniper/shotgun paired with a vandal HV
>teammate gets headshot>headshot the headshotter>pick up teammate>teammate gets headshot>headshot the headshotter>pick up teammate lmao
How do I get good at headshotting? After 200 hours I want to use more than shotguns but completely blow ass at getting any hits with a Winfield. Also, I have the hardest time seeing other hunters from far away. I guess I'm just blind or some shit.
>>680263Go into training with a winfield and just shoot every fucking zombie you see, headshots only. You get more practice in 20 minutes of doing that than you would from 20 hours of actually playing. Also just general shooter advice like lowering your sensitivity even if it feels uncomfortable at first. As for seeing people, a higher res monitor helps a lot if your PC can manage it. In pixel hunt shooters like Squad or to a lesser extent Hunt it almost feels like cheating sometimes.
>>679511Now nobody banishes the boss because mosincucks will just raze the building and they have to somehow fight in the open with a shotgun against a mosin
>>679933>expensive>vit shot
>>680273Good, fuck shotguns.
>>680296how about you buy another weak vit shot sniperkun
How do you guys like the new RomeroT. Haven't unlocked it yet
>>679811You ever click on someone at what feels like point-blank with a shotgun but they didn't die?That happens a lot less with the Romero
>>679805>FelisSure thing, bushnigger.
>>679773>Shoot someone at 30 meters with sparks>Now I need to wait 4 seconds before I can shoot againRetard.
>>680479>faggot has to sit behind a rock and blow half his healing on one bulletHMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>680482Your bait isn't even funny dude, go be a shitter somewhere else
>>680379It's alright. Slightly faster Romero, but with incredibly, painfully slow reload after your first 5 shots and no second ammo option. Worse ammo resupply as well, but that is not normally a big deal unless you are wallbang spamming.
>>680486lmao
>>680506i honestly prefer default romero just because that obnoxious alamo animation gets reset all the time
>>674063I always go for the baller loadouts sometimes you get unlucky so many times in a row and get stuck in a perpetual poverty cycle so I prestige when I hit rock bottom. Keeps the game fresh and gives you 4k Hunt Dollars, also makes you use things you normally wouldn't or have not used in a long time. Whenever I prestige I just use free recruits with minimal purchases until about level 50 to build up a bit of bank. I always struggle with money.
>>680482or you could just kill them outright and not give them the opportunity to use those resources at all :^)
>>680528just hit the head, bro
What's your opinion of the new hunter in Reap What You Sow?
>>680553Same as the last two dozen DLC hunters. Would consider buying if it wasn't a woman.
>>680553Honestly one of my favorite skins yet. Really cool design.
Basket face skin mogs the top tier skin and you can't convince me otherwise.Snake face skin just looks too tryhard and cringe
>>680567I never thought about it but they have been pumping out a ton of females lately huh
>>680567Basically what I thought. I like the design and the other weapons enough I might get it anyway but the female melee noses fucking annoy me for some reason, I generally don't play female hunters at all
>>680640basketface is based but also a great "please headshot me" skinwearing a big target on your face is chad as fuck, though
>>680640you're right, i can't the mask is ugly as fuck
>>680640I like the ayylmao skin because I always enjoy playing the ugliest deformed bastards available on a roster in pvp games because I want normies to feel bad when I feel them and they see my ugly piece of shit strutting across their death screen.
>died to a mosin trio camping in the lighthouse
>>680553Really good folk horror vibes. I'll definitely be picking it up and will probably be using it pretty regularly.
>>680640Basketface is the best of the bunch I think, though I do like the level 2 one where it's just the raised hood too
>>680263The biggest improvement I saw trying to hit more headshots... was trying to hit headshots.It's a tradeoff between aiming center mass and probably getting some damage in versus aiming higher for the head and getting all or nothing.When I consciously put in the effort to aim that little bit higher, I missed more, but I contributed more to fights because the few hits I did get were impactful.Same with going for wallbangs, it's not intuitive but sometimes you just need to make the effort and toss a shot in somebody's vague direction and sometimes it works out.
>>681004play stealth with silenced winfield or silenced vetterli with a silenced pistolyou will learn really fast to tap heads
>>681016He said getting headshots not sucking dirty dick
So will Crytek bring back previous skins from events but slightly different and call them evolutions for already existing skins? Seems like a fountain to bring new players who missed the events and OGs to earn something (albeit similarly to what they own) but new.
>>681037Yes
Servers been absolute unstable dogshit today for anyone else? Not really any problems last night at all, but today it's giving me like 400ms on the US servers and trying to put me in EU or SA or something where it's only saying 100 something ms there. I did a speed test and my connection is fine. The fuck is going on?
>>681232I just had some packet loss on EU.
Ever had that moment of 100% clarity and calm in a stressful situation that won you the game right there? It's like for a split second you activate Ultra-Instinct or something lol.
Mic system down on EU? Wtf i cant access event page either.
The hit detection and hit delay in this game are wildly retarded
>>673896Smart people stopped playing ages ago
>>681364feels fine to me as long as im not trying to play on euro servers with 200 ping desu
man, i want to like the new dlc but fuck bud>don't like playing female hunters>we just got a new berthier skin from the event>I already have two fucking bow skins>knuckle knife skin is nice but I already have one of those as wellit's so close to being something I would pick up but just didn't get there. if the berthy was any variant instead of the base model I'd probably go for it
hell yeah brothers. Got the wellspring at fort carmick. Didn't camp up or set traps, just ran towards noise and shot those cunts with berthier riposte. last guy I was out of ammo and had to bayonet charge that cunt!
Hunting bow, with sawed off shotgun. weak health shot, and dusters for playing it cheap.Ideally, quartermaster perk with hunting bow, poison/regular arrows and slate shotgun, dusters, concertina bomb x2 and weak health shot - fly solo, duos or trios are for pussies that can't handle using skill/patience. Everything else you can pick up in the field or off fallen corpses. Just keep quiet and if you get fired upon, find structural cover/vantage point. Even a dense bush will obscure enemy vision. You literally need nothing else to be successful, just use your wits.Man, I fucking love this game. See you on the battlefield, boys...unfortunately you won't see me.
>>681990>another delusional bush camper that thinks he's god's gift to the gamelole
>>681990What the fuck kek
>>681990smells like 3 star in here
Finally finished the battle pass. Still think the tier 3 of the hunter is way better than the final one.
>>679587Winfield Bayonet FMJ + LeMat FMJ Dualies
>>682377Basketface looks dumb. Best is tier 2, followed by tier 1 (i.e. the free ones, kek)
>>682451>Disrespecting /ourguy/ basket faceNgmi
is bow worth it? seems fun to play with and ez 1 shots, is it decent in medium range?
>>682459everything is worth it desuhave fun
>>682459You need to be able to aim. Arrows also have drop off so if it's at range you need to account for it falling down. Personally I love the crossbow. All these bow weapons you'll love when you get kills with them but will hate them the instant you miss an easy shot.
>>673749Boring game full of campers and pussies
Reminder if you rat out as the last surviving member of the squad or god forbid just leave the fight and extract alone you are the biggest loser in the world.Go out in a pyrric blaze of glory and bring down as many as you can you coward
>>682585or the classic get arm shot into getting shotgunned true combo that bows are known for
>>679988the point is you can maintain all those stats while being brokesaying money doesn't matter doesn't mean i hoard money and don't prestigeit means we make due with the fucking romero for a couple games if we need to and have the same amount of fun and success
>>682622damn lol you replied to an 11 day old post just to seethemad cause bad
>>682728No. If you fuck up doing dumb shit because you're dumb and made it a 3v1 with shotguns I'm peacing out. You need to learn from your mistakes and be punished, otherwise you'll never learn.
>>682890>not taking every fight possibleyou'll cowards don't even wipe servers
I've been shit for the last ~4 days for some reason. I dont know why, I was doing pretty good but since the weekend I've just been fucking garbage and dying nonstop without even trades. My kda has gone from almost 1.6 to like 1.2 in 4 days. I dont know what the fuck is going on.
The centennial is so bad. How do they fix it? Maybe a shorty variant?
>>682974been having the same problem, I think it's some kind of fucking skill-based burn out. when the event started I was tryharding and dumpstering lobby after lobby. I even hit 6 star for 1 game. for the last 3 days I've been getting fucking gaped on by poor circumstance, bad timing, and just not being able to fucking land my shots and I don't know what changed except that I've been grinding the event pretty hard and kind of forcing myself to play even when I didn't want to
>>682974that was me last week, dropped from 5 star to 3 star and came back to 5 after a couple days playing this weekpretty weird feeling going from hitting awesome headshots and wallbangs constantly to not being able to hit literally anything for days at a timewe all just have some bad days i guess
>skill issue
Did they do something to the audio? The past few months I can't differentiate between sounds directly behind and in front of me. I thought it was just me but my buddy says he has the same problem.
>>683196No, you guys probably have changed something the settings or in your drivers.
>>682728I would actually do that if I was dumb enough to play with randoms.
The animations for the lematt are atrocious, gate loaders have weird animations in general but the lematt is just so bad.
>>682890imagine being such a pathetic loser you have to "teach a lesson" to randoms pushing a building
>>683307pretty sure in a realistic scenario lemats can't even be reloaded they only had their shots in the chambers and then that was it
I got into a rando duos and impressed my partner by getting 4 kills :)
>>683442Imagine malding over rando games lmao
>>683445Do you mean muzzle loaded lematts? Because the ingame one is mark II for a reason.
>being such a social retard you can't make friends and have to play randomsI'd kms desu
>>683454any break action pistols dont functionally exist, they were welded shut with bullets in them and unwelded to reload them
>>683495id rather take my chances with randoms over the slagathors in the standard /lfg/ servers
>>683538It's almost as if we have a /VM/ server I know you're fucking retarded that's why you haven't joined you fucking autistic loser kek
>>683562Personal rule to never play with vg because they are always without fail complete social fogies
>>683573Skill issue, I've been playing with atleast 6 anons and they've all been normal
>>683536What? There were a lot of break action revolvers. Literally the Schofield which is also in the game
>>683536>No break actionsThe Schofield is in the game and almost held the place in history the Single Action Army did, but the Schofield was more finicky about what ammo it could chamber so the army went with Colt. The LeMat in game is a fabrication for the game though, from what I’ve seen. There were cartridge conversions for the LeMat, but they were rare and looked liked rancid ass. The Caldwell and the like make more sense though, since I think that’s supposed to be a cartridge conversion of the Colt Navy, which where there were plenty of.
>>683686Meant to post a picture of the cartridge LeMat. This fuckin thing
Wiped a whole team by hitting and running with strong knife attacks. I swear I think my weapon stats would show I’ve probably gotten more knife/saber kills than anything else over my entire time playing.
>>683693Knife is better than shotguns imo. Remember the basics of CQC, snakeanon
So what’s the point of the New Army? It looks cool and it reloads slightly faster, but functionally it doesn’t seem to do anything well enough to weight taking it over the Officer if you want a double action revolver.
>>683889Exactly, only niche it fills is dum dum on a double action which is useless
>Yell at my friend when he fucks up again>He left the discord call
>>683905Retard can't into bros over vidya
>>683905retard
>>683889it had better stats before (6 more bullets, more muzzle velocity etc) but then everyone picked it over the officer. So after the nerfs people are now back to the officer. Crytek is a bit butthurt and put the officer lower on the bloodline track, So people have to suffer the new army a few levels before they can go back to the officer
>>683973the new army has one advantage over the officer being the much faster full reload
>>683889faster reloadfaster shooting (I think)dum dum is great
So is sparks pistol any good or it's just Avtomat ammo cache?
>>684052From this chart I got that new army is 1.65 per bullet, officer 1.85 On 6 bullets thats 1.3 seconds faster. Not that impressive. The fact that you dont do the magazine spin if you dont do a full reload is more valuable. But I still prefer the extra bullet and nicer iron sights.
>>684125i like using it with shotguns but other than that its just an ammo battery
>>684125good for prestige chads, avtomat chads, gold hoarding prestige 1 level 100 plebbit cucks
>>684128if you shoot the officer at max rof you're not going to hit anything because the recoil takes longer to recenterthe new army on the other hand is consistently back to center screen when you fire at max rofthis results in the new army feeling way better unless you've got enough hours on the officer to feel the true rof, but then its arguable whether it's higher than the nee army
>>683538I dont know. I have had retards in the Discord. But at worst, they would just passive aggressively leave in silence post match. Where as randoms have went out of their way to attempt to kill/grief me or just DC on first death.t. 1.3 KD (not KDA)
Anon, is there any guide on how to break into compounds and shotgun campers inside of it?Or it's all just "throw flash, run in, shoot stuff"?
>>685155Camp them back. They have to leave the compound at some point, don't they? If they have shotties, chances are they aren't the best at range and only have a pistol for a secondary.Another option is to just outplay them by continually running around outside the compound while triggering as many noise traps as you possibly can, like running over glass repeatedly or opening doors while standing up but never actually peak or running through them. This frustrates the average shotgun camper so much they'll eventually make a mistake and you'll be able to pick them off easily once they themselves start running around inside the compound.
>>685155consumables are usually the best way to break parity in my experiencethey're good to use to figure out where exactly someone is in a compound by either forcing them to move so you can hear them or by eliminating a place they aren't in which you can then use to maneuverbeyond that, if they aren't making any noise, you just clear your corners and hope you shoot first
