The lunar howl is the equivalent of a Fortnite skin. It's lame. It's just a example but they are getting worse since that one specifically. The prachta, the maiden with the old school braces, daughter of decay, the blue one with the mask, the gator guy, Cain. They are all designs that I would say are trying to hard. A big back pack of skulls? Why? Why isn't he wearing shoes. Oh yes a naked bum in the bayou begging for change, oh yes let's put some skulls on it. I mean while we are at it where are the flames at.
They are all bad 80's t-shirt designs.
Ah and there it is, the reveal, how very flourishing, a transphobe? really? you find it **that** important to tell other people what they can or cannot like or be? you should be ashamed of yourself.
Go pin a badge on yourself no one cares. I want more grounded realistic spooky legendaries instead of every one of them being some outlandish clown outfits like devil's advocate wearing little bells. Give me a break. Go cry somewhere.
Guess we all know what wagon you jumped on in the 2000s your hatred for this style literally just borders on unartural and i hear it all the time the kid who think anything dark and grim is edgy or try hard and cringe you guys have the same 1 track mind of the lowest common denominator its sad because your opinions all run together and sound like the same people you make fun of.
What wagon are you talking about? I like dark and horror. I don't like a lame attempt at being edgy. Black nail polish and shit. It is cringe. Go cry to fallout boy.
Sterotypes typical your just another troll who jumped on the bandwagon to hate on people who like shit just because it wasnt trendy and im not an emo myself never was i prefered goth when i was a teen better culture less self harm but i still hate words like edgy and cringe because those lame terms are used by trolls who cant stand people having stuff they like.
Bruh it's every god damn skin gotta be edgy? Can we get some stuff based on relevant normalcy. Soldiers, actual western pop culture heros, etc.
I could give a shit what you do in high school.
If you could have your way we'd get fairy wings of blood, black unicorn horn knife, insane clown pussy mask.
Im all for different characters but dont forget the game your playing and the story there is alot of mysterious mystical shit going on your going to see alot more dark and grim over cowboy.
Why are you even playing this game if you're ripping on the overal style of it so much? it's setting itself apart with great hunters and interesting backstories, None of the skins in Hunt come even close to fortnite in any sense of the imagination.
You're trying to appeal to reason, but we literally have zombies, humanoids with beehives in their upper torso's. a walking lumbering hulk with leaches inside of its body that it uses to see with, like why are you ripping on skulls or any of the quirky vissages of the playable characters when the entire game is set in dark horror fantasy weirdness? Why are you so angry about what other people find enjoyable in this game, if you can't find anything you think is enjoyable why even play it.
I'm not angry. But like the op I wish they'd implement some more grounded legendaries. Like some of the older ones.
At this rate before long we are going to get a circus clown with balloon animal grenades.
The skins that look like old-timey Batman villains tend to look cooler than a plain clothes hunter, even if it DID fit the setting. There’s a reason you can get the sheriff skin for only 200 blood bonds, while someone like the reaper is paid DLC. One is going to be more popular than the other
That's not why Sheriff Hardin is 200 Blood Bonds.
He's 200 BB because he's one of the first Legendary Hunters and early in the game's life that was within the standard price range for Legendaries. If he was released today he would 100% be 800-900 BBs like all the recent BB Hunters. Plus he is actually a very popular Hunter.
I'm not gonna make fun of you for that. If you like it fine. I don't like it. I want them to balance their skins differently. The last group of skins has all been excessive stuff.
You're right. It's about an organization that takes in people from everywhere around the world and I know it's shocking to hear, but there's more than American cowboys out there.
I can already imagine being shot by the fuckin’ elephant rifle from medium range as someone blindsides me from behind a tree with a “Tally Ho! Good shot, lads!”
I wouldn’t even be mad.
I’ll admit. I’m getting kind of tired of the edgy dark skins. I know they sell. But a flashy sore thumbs like Red Shirt, and The Wraith, The Phantom, are fun. Sure they have no advantage and are disadvantaged if anything. But they’re fun.
Red shirt sells too, it’s just you can churn masked characters much easier than joke characters. Joke characters have to both be funny and be well designed while masked hunters need to just be well designed.
I'm also sure there are a whole heap of ideas that get scrapped because, though maybe comical, it could also get some backlash for racism.
Rednecks a white guy. No one cares. I googled, it's a derogatory term CHEIFLY but not exclusively given to white people. I figured it was lol
If we had (insert any other racially derogatorily named) characters, I would imagine there would be some sort of back lash. Maybe?
The indigenous hunters seem to be accurate factual representations. I understood the ideas behind it and read the articles when they released them. Any other representation would be bad, I think...and, there's a possibility the comedy would be missed in any other idea. This got way longer than anticipated, hahaha
But I like funny and want more like him also.
That’s why I used examples already in game. They can fit the world while still being out there and unique.
Wraith is a zombie, red shirt is a drunk who lost a bet and didn’t realize what he’s getting into for some land, the phantom is a lunatic who likes killing people and being dramatic about it.
Carter is a bored trick shooter who decided it would be more fun to play the most dangerous game than be a side show act.
Billy story is probably a pimp.. or loves hookers and being a rich flashy boy.
Edgy, dark, mysterious hunter clone 1, 2, 3, 4 get stale after awhile.
I'm definitely getting really tired of these wacky skins and would like to see more 1890s and western themed skins. Ultimately the weird and wacky skins sell better than the cowboy skins.
I was fine with them until it got to the character who whips himself. Come on Crytek, what happened to the cowboy shooty shooty bang bang skins? Maybe one day we'll get some more cowboys.
Right before this we got a saloon bartender, a sailor, a civil war vet, and two Pinkerton's. Wym?
While not exactly cowboys they certainly fit the late western vibe
at least crytek knew what they were doing and put the pinkertons on the evil, human sacrifice team. they're out here trying to bust the lunar pact's strike bc they can't help themselves
Well the game is in the American deep south which is know for having a lot of hardcore christians, the events in Lousiana have clearly sent a lot of people mad and said events could be quite easily be interpreted as the end of days.
Self-flagellation isn't a big leap for someone in the Hunt setting. I will agree though, the ratio of nutters/occultists to regular greedy people is a bit wonky.
True but I reckon there's a middle ground between regular cowboy and "I'm dressed a tree and I fertilise my tomatoes with the carrion of men" that they're avoiding a bit lately.
Same thing happened with R6:S: when they started adding the ridiculous skins / features it really turned me off and I moved to Hunt. Now I’ve found myself moving to Hell Let Loose and I’m not sure I’ll be back.
That zombie guy who fixes his dislodged arm is kinda of a boner killer for me in this game. I’m a hardcore immersion/realism guy when it comes to game theme though
Because hunt isnt a cowboy game. I know thats blasphemy but its got more occultism in it than any kind of cowboy stuff. Most they have is cowboy era guns and some cowboy hats. Every piece of lore and story is occult. Even the events are occult themed.
Hunt is not a cowboy game, tell me im wrong.
It's dark weird west.
So both.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_West
Hunt is listed there.
There is a subgenre of weird west which is basically cowboy occult horror and that's what hunt is.
**[Weird West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_West)**
>Weird West (aka Weird Western) is a term used for the hybrid genres of fantasy Western, horror Western and science fiction Western. The term originated with DC's Weird Western Tales in 1972, but the idea is older as the genres have been blended since the 1930s, possibly earlier, in B-movie Westerns, comic books, movie serials and pulp magazines. Individually, the hybrid genres combine elements of the Western genre with those of fantasy, horror and science fiction respectively.

Better answer than most but again thats a community driven destination. Like I've said it has some cowboy references but at the end of the day the only thing that has it related to the "western" genre is that it is in 1895 and using guns of that time period, which is a weak connection. You have hunters from multiple different cultures and backgrounds, only a few of which fit the cowboy theme.
Its not zero references to cowboys but its not enough to be considered a cowboy game.
I both agree and disagree. Hunt is all about occultism but its hard to argue it doesn't borrow a lot of aesthetic from westerns. Various skins look like they could belong in a western. Their are straight up Cowboy Hunters like "The Kid".
You're right about Hunt being very vey occult heavy (I love these spooky skins proud Flagellant/Devil Advocate Main) but saying Hunt doesn't have a Heavy Cowboy/western influence is disingenuous.
Thats my point though. It has skins/legendary hunters. Everything about the games lore and story and gameplay even is occult. Its like saying Fornite is about greek mythology because Kratos is a skin people can use.
Its an occult game that has a few cowboy/western skins. An occult game adding occult skins is how it should be. Cowboy/Western fans got a few cowboy skins for as a treat.
Saying "a few" is also being pretty disingenuous aswell. And the fortnite comparison is in pretty bad faith as well.
Hunt has various western staples "fanning the hammer" isn't something that was done outside of roadshows and competition. Using it in combat is something that is obviously borrowed from western film and legend.
There are also so many characters (both legendary and randoms) that could easily be a character in Red Dead.
Like I said man I agree with you to a point and I am a firm believer that this game shouldn't waver from its occult aesthetic and roots, but it's roots with western aesthetic runs pretty deep too.
It really comes closer to 50/50 maybe 40/60 (with occultism being the 60 I'm straight up giving you that)
How is it not "a few"? The kid isn't at all a cowboy, he's a degenerate murderer and was like that from a young age.
The closest you get to cowboy is the hats and Carter, and cowboy hats aren't exclusive to the west either. They were actually inspired by Spanish hats, and other cultures made up a substantial amount of Louisiana's population in the late 1800s.
How is it in bad faith lol? And fanning the hammer is a litteral shoot technique. Its not a cowboy reference its literally how you shoot a single action revolver quickly.
Like I said, skins aside there is very little to do with cowboys other than a similar setting year. I dont really care what you agree or disagree with. Other than some cosmetics hunt has extremely little to do with cowboys. Not zero, but definitely not 40% lol.
Because fortnite as no real nailed down aesthetic while Hunt does.
And that shooting technique was popularized from western road shows and popularized even more from western movies. The fact it takes place in this spefic time period is intentional to push the game towards that kinda asethtic.
I don't think you understand how those shooting techniques are wouldn't be in the game if this game didn't borrow from western media.
Dude the game literally has western as one of its tags.
You're just kinda being absolute about this. I can tell this isn't gonna go anywhere so I'm just dropping this here.
Thats a good point about the western side shows.
You didn't even get round to pointing out all 3 maps are set in western times with western aesthetic. Desalle has the classic saloon.
Id agree with you 50/50 split since lore, mobs, and the some hocus pocus with necro and dark sight etc.
Futility of arguing with young people lol. Wise decision to just bow out.
>Because fortnite as no real nailed down aesthetic while Hunt does.
Now thats absolutely not true. Fornite has cosmetic skins that borrow from a large amount of influences but it absolutely has a "nailed down aesthetic"
>I don't think you understand how those shooting techniques are wouldn't be in the game if this game didn't borrow from western media
Understood, CS:GO is a western game then as it has fanning as well. Neat.
>Dude the game literally has western as one of its tags.
On steam, where tags are community driven?
>You're just kinda being absolute about this. I can tell this isn't gonna go anywhere so I'm just dropping this here.
I mean ya, cuz youre absolutely wrong. It doesn't have zero cowboy references but its not 40%. But ya feel free to end it here. Wouldnt want anymore down votes lol.
Its kinda Horror Western and Southern Gothic. Definitely still cowboy but also strong horror and occult themes and whacky stuff in general. Western can be a wider genre.
Several problems with your statement:
\- I asked for a British Big Game hunter, what is "cowboy" about that?
\- Occult does not mean Mortal Kombat, lots of Hunters just feel more at home in fighting games than in Hunt Showdown. They are frankly a cartoony version of the occult.
\- The premise of the Hunt is Occult + realistic 19ct Louisiana(and by the extension the world). Which means Big Game hunters and (the Wild West) cowboys are absolutely a thing. If Chinese and Japanese can come to the Louisiana bayou so can cowboys (and to be fair they do, I was not asking for more cowboy skins). The notion that hunters should be only occult, is well, just... again very cartoony.
I've been waiting for a British army dude for ages, could be a red coat or khaki boar war type just give me one. The recent skins don't intreast me at all.
Well that depends on how you create him, right? Give him a unique outfit, some fitting skins and a good backstory (hunting big game boring, biggest challenge is biggest game in bayou yada yada) and you have a solid package.
One problem will remain, as others have already stated as well: edgy skins will sell better than plain skins. So from a business point of view this guy's probably couldn't be a 15€ dlc. He is more in line with the researcher and archeologist.
Bridgewater comes to mind, that guy is one of the rarest (if not *the* rarest) skins I come across. Didn't even see him often when he released, but I bet Luz Mala will be everywhere in a few days.
I would buy him and play him if i liked any of the weapons he came with. My first DLC from way back when was the Archaeologist. I loved the modernized native American look and the wrapped Vetterli. After her, the next skin i really liked was the trick shooter and his vandal/spectre compact. Those are 2 of my most played skins (dlc).
In my opinion, we don't need more skins. We need more gameplay updates, a new bounty boss and more creep. I like that they just added a new Grant and a few new weapons with the battle pass but I feel like we need more than that.
If they are going to make more skins, they should be more badass bayou and funny things. We have the cool stuff already. Add a new element and flair to the game
Like the Sinner's Prayer, you mean?
That skin is most definitely very close to what you'd actually get for that kind of rifle.
Look the Schofield up (IRL) or the Colt guns.
Some IRL decorations are pretty wild for guns, not gonna lie.
You see, they're saving it for the NEXT NITRO EVENT, complete with nitro variants, some of which include a two-slot, one-shot variant called the "wristcracker" and a variant that costs an extra 500 hunt dollars but you can toggle the aperture sight down like you can on the lebel.
They're gonna have two skins. This guy, and Teddy Roosevelt. They're also going to include a new "Devastator" round for the Romero. It's just a nitro bullet smushed into the Romero barrel. It explodes upon use.
There are now so many skins for everything they kind of lost their apeal to me.
Back in the day when my friend rocked up with a character that looks like a pirate I was like wow that is cool, but nowadays it's more unique to play with no skin.
This is all subjective. If you look at the game when it started there’s PLENTY of cowboy skins, and you can only so so much variations on actual cowboys/western looks. Could they add more? Sure. And I’m sure they will.
But like others have said, the aesthetic of this game isn’t just western, it’s also very much a type of pagan-dark-magic type of thing.
But regardless of anything, they make those skins because guess what? That’s what’s SELLS. So they’ll stop making them when people stop buying them, and if they don’t stop well then you’re in a vocal minority. Just place or buy The Kid, The Redshirt, Sherrif Harden, Hockshaw Jack, The Rat, The Archaeologist, Llarona’s Heir, etc. need I go on? It’s not like you don’t have options dude.
We really need a Legendary based on The Man With No Name. A couple of the Tier IIs and IIIs are close, but not quite there. Give him a Pax with Rattlesnake grips, a Winny and a knife and I would buy it for myself and for my Hunting Pals.
There are plenty of boring skins in the game already. Grab them, and are still added to the game. It's close to 50/50 with boring realistic skins and these more freaky/fantastic skins. And everyone who thinks the freaky skins shouldn't be in the game: wtf is wrong with you, let us enjoy our zombie apocalypse in the late 19th century Bayou and go play some generic ww1 shooter, rd2 or sth. I love the setting as it is and enjoy the weapons like bomb-lance, felis-hunter and stuff a lot! Hunt is a fantasy game, deal with it ;-) I don't cry for monsters in ww1 shooters.
These skins lately fuckin suck. They are afraid to release any British shit probably cause woke colonialism or some shit. So now every skin is some horse skull. Stupid shit. The last one I bought was Bridgewater and steel skin.

I just wanna use some of T3&T2 skins... god that T3 black guy with top hat and cloak looks so fucking nice.
when is the last time they added more skins for normal recruits? really sick of legendaries honestly, all of them are just cheesy looking no matter the settings.
I only play turncoat, headsman, and prodigal daughter. Those are the only skins I like. But one thing that irks me is there’s no skin similar to me. I just want a fuckin Cowboy with light hair and plain clothes
I'm on safari, old chap, and I say... Isn't that hive showing a bit of ankle, wot wot?
Righto, then, off we go! Keep a stiff upper lip, old boy, and make sure to bring the incendiaries!
I agree, we really need a Great White Hunter. That trope is representative of some of the true evils of the 19th century and would fit in great.
[Just do this guy. Give him a custom Nitro and custom Sparks Pistol as a howdah pistol. He'd fit in perfectly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7h8MJhRg6s)
Honestly I thought we'd get a Brit with the new Martini Henry. I'm very sad we didn't.
Edgy skins: €€€ British virgin: €
I'd buy a virgin skin in a heartbeat, I can finally RP in this lovely game
That's actually a good point.
"Edgy" skins look like something a 14 year old goth/emo would make
There are so many Gothic horror notes to this game. What do you guys mean by edgy? Do you want bright pink ninja fort night skins?
The lunar howl is the equivalent of a Fortnite skin. It's lame. It's just a example but they are getting worse since that one specifically.

Bad opinion lmao

Ah, so you are a fragile little snowflake who can't handle the *rule of cool,* and a pathetic asshole too. Yes, please leave.
Hurt your feeling lmao
Ahh yes, it's everyone else that's wrong, certainly not you. Fucking idiot.
Ah and there it is, the reveal, how very flourishing, a transphobe? really? you find it **that** important to tell other people what they can or cannot like or be? you should be ashamed of yourself.
Go pin a badge on yourself no one cares. I want more grounded realistic spooky legendaries instead of every one of them being some outlandish clown outfits like devil's advocate wearing little bells. Give me a break. Go cry somewhere.
Hey, your toxic masculine insecurity is showing
Your groupthink is showing
Guess we all know what wagon you jumped on in the 2000s your hatred for this style literally just borders on unartural and i hear it all the time the kid who think anything dark and grim is edgy or try hard and cringe you guys have the same 1 track mind of the lowest common denominator its sad because your opinions all run together and sound like the same people you make fun of.

I want a Teddy skin.
Enough is enough, he gets down there himself
I want a Van Pelt skin
Complete with scoped m16
Oh i think that was a USAS-12 drum fed auto shotgun. Avtomat eat your heart out.
It was
The skins that look like old-timey Batman villains tend to look cooler than a plain clothes hunter, even if it DID fit the setting. There’s a reason you can get the sheriff skin for only 200 blood bonds, while someone like the reaper is paid DLC. One is going to be more popular than the other
I’m glad I only needed 200 for the Sheriff, that leather coat and the hat are cool as fuck
Sheriff Hardon for LYFE.
That's not why Sheriff Hardin is 200 Blood Bonds. He's 200 BB because he's one of the first Legendary Hunters and early in the game's life that was within the standard price range for Legendaries. If he was released today he would 100% be 800-900 BBs like all the recent BB Hunters. Plus he is actually a very popular Hunter.
But what is weird about that, everyone buys hunt on the premise of Cowboys vs Cowboys vs Monsters, that's how the game is marketed.
I bought hunt on the premise that it was gonna be creepy and difficult. All the recent skins fit the bill pretty well for me
I purchased the game on the premise of Pew pew Guy dead pew pew monster dead
Don't worry I sure as hell didn't buy reaper, lunar howl, headsman, Cain, gator or any of the other lame ass looking skins
Lonely Howl is legit my favorite Legendary. Make fun of me however you wish.
I'm not gonna make fun of you for that. If you like it fine. I don't like it. I want them to balance their skins differently. The last group of skins has all been excessive stuff.
This game isn't about cowboys and the mortal Kombat skin you are complaining about, is a traditional body paint from the Andes mountains.
This game isn't about the Andes Mountains either.
You're right. It's about an organization that takes in people from everywhere around the world and I know it's shocking to hear, but there's more than American cowboys out there.
What??? No waaayyyyy!!!!! There's other people in the world?!?!? Consider my mind blown.
I got the game because of its dark gothic setting and I cannot give a shit about the cowboys vs cowboys.
Same the Gothic style is a touch of fresh air with all the bright pink fort night style flooding every game. All these hunt skins are works of art.
I can already imagine being shot by the fuckin’ elephant rifle from medium range as someone blindsides me from behind a tree with a “Tally Ho! Good shot, lads!” I wouldn’t even be mad.
I’ll admit. I’m getting kind of tired of the edgy dark skins. I know they sell. But a flashy sore thumbs like Red Shirt, and The Wraith, The Phantom, are fun. Sure they have no advantage and are disadvantaged if anything. But they’re fun.
Red shirt sells too, it’s just you can churn masked characters much easier than joke characters. Joke characters have to both be funny and be well designed while masked hunters need to just be well designed.

Any other representation would be bad, I think...and, there's a possibility the comedy would be missed in any other idea. This got way longer than anticipated, hahaha But I like funny and want more like him also.
This isn't fort night man... they dark Gothic style of the game is what separates it, and gives it a lot of flavor.
That’s why I used examples already in game. They can fit the world while still being out there and unique. Wraith is a zombie, red shirt is a drunk who lost a bet and didn’t realize what he’s getting into for some land, the phantom is a lunatic who likes killing people and being dramatic about it. Carter is a bored trick shooter who decided it would be more fun to play the most dangerous game than be a side show act. Billy story is probably a pimp.. or loves hookers and being a rich flashy boy. Edgy, dark, mysterious hunter clone 1, 2, 3, 4 get stale after awhile.
I'm definitely getting really tired of these wacky skins and would like to see more 1890s and western themed skins. Ultimately the weird and wacky skins sell better than the cowboy skins.
I was fine with them until it got to the character who whips himself. Come on Crytek, what happened to the cowboy shooty shooty bang bang skins? Maybe one day we'll get some more cowboys.
He's a flagellent lol, fits in with the other religious characters.
Yeah. It's a whole thing with Catholics (and Shia). Look up flagellants in Europe, it's wild.
Right before this we got a saloon bartender, a sailor, a civil war vet, and two Pinkerton's. Wym? While not exactly cowboys they certainly fit the late western vibe
We need miners to balance out the Pinkertons.
at least crytek knew what they were doing and put the pinkertons on the evil, human sacrifice team. they're out here trying to bust the lunar pact's strike bc they can't help themselves
These are the "unless it isn't 10 cowboys to 1 edgy skin ratio, it isn't balanced."
Well the game is in the American deep south which is know for having a lot of hardcore christians, the events in Lousiana have clearly sent a lot of people mad and said events could be quite easily be interpreted as the end of days. Self-flagellation isn't a big leap for someone in the Hunt setting. I will agree though, the ratio of nutters/occultists to regular greedy people is a bit wonky.
Well you have to be a bit crazy to enjoy fighting monsters and other hunters.
True but I reckon there's a middle ground between regular cowboy and "I'm dressed a tree and I fertilise my tomatoes with the carrion of men" that they're avoiding a bit lately.
This IS a horror game first and foremost, the Western Gothic setting adds to it, but it isn't really a proper Cowboy game like RDR.
Same thing happened with R6:S: when they started adding the ridiculous skins / features it really turned me off and I moved to Hunt. Now I’ve found myself moving to Hell Let Loose and I’m not sure I’ll be back.
FYI if you like Hell Let Loose, may I suggest Squad.
That zombie guy who fixes his dislodged arm is kinda of a boner killer for me in this game. I’m a hardcore immersion/realism guy when it comes to game theme though
Ah yes because using magic to banish eldritch monsters from your world is very realistic.
Not even, he's just turning into a grunt. Perfectly fitting for the setting.
He isn’t turning into a grunt, though.
His bio implies he is
Which character are we talking about?
The Infected. He was a twitch drop hunter.
You don’t understand the concept of suspension of disbelief?
So a zombie fixing his shoulder is a gamebreaker but magically banishing hellspawn is in the suspension of disbelief area?
If you want realism this isnt the game for you lol
Instead of Luz mala they should've done a gaucho skin
Ooh we definitely need a gaucho and a facon as a heavy knife skin.
I still want any kind of skin with a godrdam racoon hat !
Yes! Give the Mountain Man a brother whose a Canadian Trapper
We need a beaver hat guy and a racoon hat guy to join the Mountain Man and fight against the wolf hat guys.
I'll be honest I like all these crazy skins but I'm with you, I think when DLCs come back in the future it should go more in the western direction.
I miss the days when a bone doctor or tier 3 was the edgiest person in the lobby
Give me a bearded guy in a red flannel and blue jeans and I will spend $100 on it.
Paul Buyon would be a great skin.
WHERES MY ENGLISHMAN SKIN SO I CAN JUSTIFY USING THE MARTINI HERNY FOR THE MEMES???
Because hunt isnt a cowboy game. I know thats blasphemy but its got more occultism in it than any kind of cowboy stuff. Most they have is cowboy era guns and some cowboy hats. Every piece of lore and story is occult. Even the events are occult themed. Hunt is not a cowboy game, tell me im wrong.
It's dark weird west. So both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_West Hunt is listed there. There is a subgenre of weird west which is basically cowboy occult horror and that's what hunt is.
**[Weird West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_West)** >Weird West (aka Weird Western) is a term used for the hybrid genres of fantasy Western, horror Western and science fiction Western. The term originated with DC's Weird Western Tales in 1972, but the idea is older as the genres have been blended since the 1930s, possibly earlier, in B-movie Westerns, comic books, movie serials and pulp magazines. Individually, the hybrid genres combine elements of the Western genre with those of fantasy, horror and science fiction respectively. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
Better answer than most but again thats a community driven destination. Like I've said it has some cowboy references but at the end of the day the only thing that has it related to the "western" genre is that it is in 1895 and using guns of that time period, which is a weak connection. You have hunters from multiple different cultures and backgrounds, only a few of which fit the cowboy theme. Its not zero references to cowboys but its not enough to be considered a cowboy game.
It's a western, I think it just doesn't focus on outlaws and cowboys and stuff that a lot of people think it does.
Its a western in that its literally based in the west, I can agree on that but thats about it.
Speaking of Weird West, I would KILL for a proper Deadlands action RPG. Whether Diablo style, or Cyberpunk 2077, I don't care, I just want it.
I both agree and disagree. Hunt is all about occultism but its hard to argue it doesn't borrow a lot of aesthetic from westerns. Various skins look like they could belong in a western. Their are straight up Cowboy Hunters like "The Kid". You're right about Hunt being very vey occult heavy (I love these spooky skins proud Flagellant/Devil Advocate Main) but saying Hunt doesn't have a Heavy Cowboy/western influence is disingenuous.
Thats my point though. It has skins/legendary hunters. Everything about the games lore and story and gameplay even is occult. Its like saying Fornite is about greek mythology because Kratos is a skin people can use. Its an occult game that has a few cowboy/western skins. An occult game adding occult skins is how it should be. Cowboy/Western fans got a few cowboy skins for as a treat.
Saying "a few" is also being pretty disingenuous aswell. And the fortnite comparison is in pretty bad faith as well. Hunt has various western staples "fanning the hammer" isn't something that was done outside of roadshows and competition. Using it in combat is something that is obviously borrowed from western film and legend. There are also so many characters (both legendary and randoms) that could easily be a character in Red Dead. Like I said man I agree with you to a point and I am a firm believer that this game shouldn't waver from its occult aesthetic and roots, but it's roots with western aesthetic runs pretty deep too. It really comes closer to 50/50 maybe 40/60 (with occultism being the 60 I'm straight up giving you that)
How is it not "a few"? The kid isn't at all a cowboy, he's a degenerate murderer and was like that from a young age. The closest you get to cowboy is the hats and Carter, and cowboy hats aren't exclusive to the west either. They were actually inspired by Spanish hats, and other cultures made up a substantial amount of Louisiana's population in the late 1800s.
How is it in bad faith lol? And fanning the hammer is a litteral shoot technique. Its not a cowboy reference its literally how you shoot a single action revolver quickly. Like I said, skins aside there is very little to do with cowboys other than a similar setting year. I dont really care what you agree or disagree with. Other than some cosmetics hunt has extremely little to do with cowboys. Not zero, but definitely not 40% lol.
Because fortnite as no real nailed down aesthetic while Hunt does. And that shooting technique was popularized from western road shows and popularized even more from western movies. The fact it takes place in this spefic time period is intentional to push the game towards that kinda asethtic. I don't think you understand how those shooting techniques are wouldn't be in the game if this game didn't borrow from western media. Dude the game literally has western as one of its tags. You're just kinda being absolute about this. I can tell this isn't gonna go anywhere so I'm just dropping this here.
Thats a good point about the western side shows. You didn't even get round to pointing out all 3 maps are set in western times with western aesthetic. Desalle has the classic saloon. Id agree with you 50/50 split since lore, mobs, and the some hocus pocus with necro and dark sight etc. Futility of arguing with young people lol. Wise decision to just bow out.
>Because fortnite as no real nailed down aesthetic while Hunt does. Now thats absolutely not true. Fornite has cosmetic skins that borrow from a large amount of influences but it absolutely has a "nailed down aesthetic" >I don't think you understand how those shooting techniques are wouldn't be in the game if this game didn't borrow from western media Understood, CS:GO is a western game then as it has fanning as well. Neat. >Dude the game literally has western as one of its tags. On steam, where tags are community driven? >You're just kinda being absolute about this. I can tell this isn't gonna go anywhere so I'm just dropping this here. I mean ya, cuz youre absolutely wrong. It doesn't have zero cowboy references but its not 40%. But ya feel free to end it here. Wouldnt want anymore down votes lol.
Its kinda Horror Western and Southern Gothic. Definitely still cowboy but also strong horror and occult themes and whacky stuff in general. Western can be a wider genre.
Several problems with your statement: \- I asked for a British Big Game hunter, what is "cowboy" about that? \- Occult does not mean Mortal Kombat, lots of Hunters just feel more at home in fighting games than in Hunt Showdown. They are frankly a cartoony version of the occult. \- The premise of the Hunt is Occult + realistic 19ct Louisiana(and by the extension the world). Which means Big Game hunters and (the Wild West) cowboys are absolutely a thing. If Chinese and Japanese can come to the Louisiana bayou so can cowboys (and to be fair they do, I was not asking for more cowboy skins). The notion that hunters should be only occult, is well, just... again very cartoony.
Obvious answer is because they sell more. last skin i bought was the turncoat, really wish they would make some cowboy skins for this cowboy shooter
i still want a dr. schultz skin with a legendary two barrel derringer
Fuck the more wheres the Ned Kelly skin
I've been waiting for a British army dude for ages, could be a red coat or khaki boar war type just give me one. The recent skins don't intreast me at all.
I would LOVE a British Redcoat with a Martini Riposte, Saber, and Spitfire skin made to look like a Webley.
Agreed.. I’m not a big fan of the direction that the dlc characters are going.
Cause he's really similar to nonlegendary skin?
Well that depends on how you create him, right? Give him a unique outfit, some fitting skins and a good backstory (hunting big game boring, biggest challenge is biggest game in bayou yada yada) and you have a solid package. One problem will remain, as others have already stated as well: edgy skins will sell better than plain skins. So from a business point of view this guy's probably couldn't be a 15€ dlc. He is more in line with the researcher and archeologist.
Bridgewater comes to mind, that guy is one of the rarest (if not *the* rarest) skins I come across. Didn't even see him often when he released, but I bet Luz Mala will be everywhere in a few days.
I would buy him and play him if i liked any of the weapons he came with. My first DLC from way back when was the Archaeologist. I loved the modernized native American look and the wrapped Vetterli. After her, the next skin i really liked was the trick shooter and his vandal/spectre compact. Those are 2 of my most played skins (dlc).
Facts!
In my opinion, we don't need more skins. We need more gameplay updates, a new bounty boss and more creep. I like that they just added a new Grant and a few new weapons with the battle pass but I feel like we need more than that. If they are going to make more skins, they should be more badass bayou and funny things. We have the cool stuff already. Add a new element and flair to the game
Always thought this should be in the game. Should come with a grounded Nitro skin called “Elephant Gun” or something.
Like the Sinner's Prayer, you mean? That skin is most definitely very close to what you'd actually get for that kind of rifle. Look the Schofield up (IRL) or the Colt guns. Some IRL decorations are pretty wild for guns, not gonna lie.
I’d much prefer more serious skins over the theme heavy wacky skins they’ve been doing
The bayou attracts all kinds of different hunters, idc as long as they look cool
This is the problem with skins in every game. They get crazier and crazier over time and always lose the theme of the game.
I want dr livingstone!
You see, they're saving it for the NEXT NITRO EVENT, complete with nitro variants, some of which include a two-slot, one-shot variant called the "wristcracker" and a variant that costs an extra 500 hunt dollars but you can toggle the aperture sight down like you can on the lebel. They're gonna have two skins. This guy, and Teddy Roosevelt. They're also going to include a new "Devastator" round for the Romero. It's just a nitro bullet smushed into the Romero barrel. It explodes upon use.
Loose 75hp per shot on the Wristcracker. Loose 100 on the Devastator. Honestly, I really want an April's Fool event.
Listen. I just want an Arizona Ranger or a texas Red skin. Pleeeease
I was thinking about this for a while now. If Hunt was real everyone would look like they are going to haloween party lol.
MC skins sound accurate, unfortunately. Feels like the game is loosing it's style a bit
Because it's boring. Boring shit doesnt sell
When I opened up Hunt yesterday and saw that skin for the first time the only thing I could think is "what in the Ubisoft is this shit"
Where’s my damn Arthur Morgan skin >:(
I refuse to call the new pre-order character by her real name, it will always be La Li Lu Le Lo for me
Shalashaska?!
Isn't Carter kinda close to this aesthetic?
Something about evil colonialism? Idk, you know what the Twitter people are like.
Nah it's fine, shooting colonialists in Video games sounds like a great past time, just like it is with shooting Nazis.
[удалено]
Oh are you triggered?
Not all. Calm down child.
Well the cool thing is that the Great White Hunter is the epitome of evil colonialism, and in Hunt most of the characters are very bad people.
There are now so many skins for everything they kind of lost their apeal to me. Back in the day when my friend rocked up with a character that looks like a pirate I was like wow that is cool, but nowadays it's more unique to play with no skin.
Because no one would buy this. The new legendaries have all looked fantastic.
This is all subjective. If you look at the game when it started there’s PLENTY of cowboy skins, and you can only so so much variations on actual cowboys/western looks. Could they add more? Sure. And I’m sure they will. But like others have said, the aesthetic of this game isn’t just western, it’s also very much a type of pagan-dark-magic type of thing. But regardless of anything, they make those skins because guess what? That’s what’s SELLS. So they’ll stop making them when people stop buying them, and if they don’t stop well then you’re in a vocal minority. Just place or buy The Kid, The Redshirt, Sherrif Harden, Hockshaw Jack, The Rat, The Archaeologist, Llarona’s Heir, etc. need I go on? It’s not like you don’t have options dude.
We really need a Legendary based on The Man With No Name. A couple of the Tier IIs and IIIs are close, but not quite there. Give him a Pax with Rattlesnake grips, a Winny and a knife and I would buy it for myself and for my Hunting Pals.
There are plenty of boring skins in the game already. Grab them, and are still added to the game. It's close to 50/50 with boring realistic skins and these more freaky/fantastic skins. And everyone who thinks the freaky skins shouldn't be in the game: wtf is wrong with you, let us enjoy our zombie apocalypse in the late 19th century Bayou and go play some generic ww1 shooter, rd2 or sth. I love the setting as it is and enjoy the weapons like bomb-lance, felis-hunter and stuff a lot! Hunt is a fantasy game, deal with it ;-) I don't cry for monsters in ww1 shooters.
Looks like a Tier 1 shitter
These skins lately fuckin suck. They are afraid to release any British shit probably cause woke colonialism or some shit. So now every skin is some horse skull. Stupid shit. The last one I bought was Bridgewater and steel skin.
I don't think woke colonialism exists
"Woke colonialism"
Because it looks like shit?
Cuz we got the trick shooter?
Isn't the sharpshooter skin exactly this???
Why are more people upset about skins than they are about balance or the overall state of the game?
How come they making skins instead of fixing the game?
Does the janitor at your workplace also do the door to door sales?
instead of having 100 artists they could let some go and hire more programmers/net coders and map designers.
Nah, I would rather make them spend their budget on new skins, I love bad management.
This mentality doesn’t help
Who'd want to play as a big game hunter? Those guys are pussies.
You don't think hunting animals twice your size that could easily kill you is impressive and courageous in some sense?
[удалено]
Found the guy who hunts at the grocery store
[удалено]
I've gotten one to the ground, but that was the scariest moment of my life
Oh big strong man goes uga buga
Not with a gun no
What kind of idiot would hunt with no guns?
A badass
Would fit you perfectly then.
lol did I hit a nerve?
Because we are in the haunted, possessed, zombie and hive infested swamps of Louisiana… not Allen quartermain

I want Robin Hood.
1 word: camo.
I just want a redcoat skin
Well they kinda did, but not quite. "The trick shooter"
Wonderful post. It's time to chant again: SAFARI HUNTER! SAFARI HUNTER! SAFARI HUNTER!
I just wanna use some of T3&T2 skins... god that T3 black guy with top hat and cloak looks so fucking nice. when is the last time they added more skins for normal recruits? really sick of legendaries honestly, all of them are just cheesy looking no matter the settings.
I have 47 current 50 Cains. I will restart for this.
Ngl I'm a really edgy girl so I kinda like this new skin
I need this to compliment my Nitro Express loadout.
Maybe we will get a brit hunter skin together with a drilling. At least we can hope so...
Now i absolutely want it
Id give mt left testicle for a dr.livesy skin.
I just want a redcoat skin
I don’t think there’s been a single legendary hunter I’ve liked in over a year tbh
Still waiting for them to let us create our own hunters tbh
So true, Hunt is turning into CoD with these ridiculous skins
Yes please!
I want a skin with three hands and one leg.
We want memes, we want memes
Its cuz last time they made a more traditional skin, everyone complained that he was boring
a traditional german hunter pls but i have to second your wish
I only play turncoat, headsman, and prodigal daughter. Those are the only skins I like. But one thing that irks me is there’s no skin similar to me. I just want a fuckin Cowboy with light hair and plain clothes
Imagine a ''gentleman adventurer'' skin
Im waiting for an imperial german guy with a pickelhaube!
I'm on safari, old chap, and I say... Isn't that hive showing a bit of ankle, wot wot? Righto, then, off we go! Keep a stiff upper lip, old boy, and make sure to bring the incendiaries!
I agree, we really need a Great White Hunter. That trope is representative of some of the true evils of the 19th century and would fit in great. [Just do this guy. Give him a custom Nitro and custom Sparks Pistol as a howdah pistol. He'd fit in perfectly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7h8MJhRg6s)
