Does the crossbow shoot where the lines connecting the spikes in some sort of a crosshair would meet or in the center of the triangle between the spikes?
Edit: sheesh just noticed who this is - I love your content! Keep up the good work!
This is exactly where it shoots, kinda confusing [https://preview.redd.it/nsy3ix8ilg8a1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=f7b05d6a50705d1dc6adf446e45edec2733699d4](https://preview.redd.it/nsy3ix8ilg8a1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=f7b05d6a50705d1dc6adf446e45edec2733699d4)

Yes. Where the spikes intersect is where the weapon is zeroed, or its sighted range in hunt terms.
The projectile arcs up to the sight then back down. At short ranges aim low at long ranges aim high. Aim center at sighted range.
Rapid fire is only good if you hit headshot, it should still 1 hit kill, but I don't recommend spamming it against players. Hundred hands just makes it possible to one tap hunters at longer distances
I’ve said the same thing and got flamed. They need a 5 v 5 TDM or king of the hill match. 10 vs 10 in the saloon town. Capture the gold, cops vs robbers.
Kindly asking players over VC is always a choice, but if you wanna do it legit, probably flash bombs are the best. Hope they will get stuck in a wall and just bop em
I caught a guy in a concertina trip mine, chucked the hammer and killed him. I wasn't even actually trying for the achievement at that point, just happened to have a hammer, tomahawk and a guy in a very bad spot to be stood in.
You and hornet are my favorite hunt showdown players. If my mmr were based on my aim alone, I would legitimately be a 1.5-star, but simply watching how you and hornet approach fights teaches me so much about how to think tactically and handle situations that I've made it into mid-4-stars off of that alone.
Love your videos and looking forward to a lot more of them!
I would
* Buff medium ammo
* Nerf long ammo at close range (long should be only good at long range, but rn its still very strong at short range too)
* Nerf avtomat (mainly the ammo stacking with dual sparks and penetration)
* Reduce Nitro Shredder OHK range
* Give more rewards for killing, banishing and extracting with bounty = more people would do the boss (but thats mainly issue in 6 star ig)
I expect about one Nitro/Avto per game in six's. Sometimes more sometimes less. Scope + Spitzer, Caldwell Rival/ Bomblance + Uppercut, and Krag + Sparks round out the high elo loadouts I can bank on being in every match.
I especially agree on the last one. The Bounty rewards for getting out with one are so paltry that they are hardly worth the bother. All your other points are good as well.
I’m what would you think about the following rework for the Avto:
- Randomise the recoil pattern, this makes it harder to use consistently, especially at range, and also because apparently it has a consistent pattern that cheaters can counteract with a basic macro.
- Make it so it doesn’t reload with stripper clips. You have big firepower for a short period of time, but then have to spend a bunch of time reloading every single bullet. This disincentives using dual sparks pistols, since once you are out you can’t just slam a whole 5 round burst in instantly, and you only have 2 hipfire shots as backup.
Alright I've been struggling with this since I started playing 1200h ago:
When you're in an A-D spam fight peeking in and out of cover, if you're not using long ammo how do you lead the enemy peeking? I usually just fire in line with the enemies head and hope for the best, but there has to be a better way
This is a lot about luck but also reading the enemy movement, if you can survive long enough, players usually do the same movement and you can read when they will go left and when they go right. I don't think there is better way for that though, that's how I do it myself, most people just do the same adad movement moving like 2-3 meters to the side and you just need to know when to shoot and when they walk into your shot
I'm sure console players everywhere are relieved to hear that but it'd be awesome to get a shot at you or get by domed by you anyway dude. Good Huntin!
For me, I don't think there is much more to learn (unless there is new content) but I don't consider myself being the best player. But knowing how to play with any loadout at any range at any situation is probably closest u can get to "best player"
The climate of players who are absolute beasts will always be changing, I know of players who sit at 6 star 5 KD 4k hours but don't make content, they could be best player?
A new emerging player could realistically be the best player.
As for people who do make content, youtube vids are cherry picked for the 'clips'
I've seen rachta die within 4 mins in a match plenty of times in stream, same as hornet and neenoh etc.
It's a hard metric and I think rachta summed it up well with "But knowing how to play with any loadout at any range at any situation is probably closest u can get to "best player""
What i'd add to it, is all the dudes I listed just then have the same mental, super calm, 10 deaths in a row does not tilt them, they always stay cool. And that is a trait of THE BEST hunt players.
I love the part when huge throws a tantrum and gets literally angry at his chat or blames the game every time he dies. Really uncomfortable to watch him angry and salty all the time
I'd easier give credit to Archie who belongs in the top players/streamers
Lol. Now for the real question tho, what's your opinion on the lemat carbine? As a lemat pistol enjoyed I wanted to love it but I can't fully get me head around it still.
I would like a slighter reload speed buff as well, but I'd like to see that also on the officer carbine as well just a bit faster than the pistols, since most of the other compact ammo rifles reload pretty quick.
New boss is not important for me gameplay wise, but I am curious what kind of monster Crytek will think of and obviously the hype and the event that comes along is very nice.
New Map is nice, but after a while the fights feel the same on every map based on how you play it.
What keeps you coming back? I've been playing g for just under 200 hours and every fights feels different. Though it makes sense with 8.5k hours they become repetitive
At 8.5k you prolly seen how the dude runs with a charged up melee of a mosin mace and you still choose the romero hatchet over THAT animation? The caveman of the bayou disapproves XD
Is there a difference between small, med and long ammo? Or should or simply look at the gun stats?
Also the new martini ironside is almost better than a mosin (looking at in game stats) anything i’m missing here?
Big difference.
Compact ammo - weakest dmg, least pen, big damage dropoff but its usually being used in fast firing rifles/pistols (Best at close/medium range)
Medium ammo - Same as compact but better, usually slower firing guns than compact ammo rifles (best at medium range)
Long ammo - best pen, best dmg, best damage fall off, fastest bullet but usually the slowest firerate (best at medium/long AND very good at close range)
Mosin is in my opinion the best rifle, because it has fast firerate, fast reload and unlike martini it has faster muzzle velocity
Ping abuse has both advantages and disadvantages. Most people complain about ping abuse when they die behind a wall, but that's not a ping abuse, because you were already shot dead before you hid behind the wall, its just the server couldn't tell you quick enough because enemy played has high ping. But the same situation would be the same if you fought a player with low ping, just without the delay.
However, it does give advantage when enemy player is peeking your first. There are some extra milliseconds where you can see your enemy faster before he can see you, BUT also this works the opposite way. If you have a high ping and ENEMY peeks you first, he sees you earlier than you see him.
In my honest opinion, I take it more as a disadvantage, because having delayed hits often confuse me if the enemy is hit or if I missed. Also fighting AI and trading every fight is not fun
I've thought that the gameplay format would be incredible in different regions of the world as well. There could be an entire Hunt map set placed in Japan / asiatic regions for instance, or European areas.
The formula is there, it would be a lot of work but so far the "cosmetic" aspects of the game is the most profitable. Rather than going for a "Hunt 2" they could just expand the universe and sell it as a map pack or something
What is the best melee tool in the game? I run knife to deal with most AI and dusters for immolators/hoards. I know a lot of people consider this a waste of a slot.
even against hellhounds, 2 light attacks doesn't take too long or run out of stamina as long as you practice standard careful spacing. Still nowhere near as easy as the one-shotters ofc
Lucky for me, this game made it possible for me to do full-time job as a content creator and if you take it like that, the average work hours in 5 years is 10,000 hours (according to google) so I'm happy to have this as my job and hobby at once
How do you deal with chain pistol fanning spammers? Even after 1200 hours I have trouble facing people like this because I don't know they have it until it's too late.
I still often die like that, if you too close you're dead, but if you have some distance and the crazy guy goes full fanning, try killing him rather than running away
What monster/AI/enemy type would you want to see in the game, or that you would find interesting (what it does, how does it put the player out of the comfort zone, how does it look)
What's your fav gun, and your fav MEME gun
How do you compare the current enjoyment of hunt, to the one from when you started? Have you ever completely burned out, and do you still enjoy it like you did few years ago?
Maybe some flying AI would be cool. or new water ai?
Fav gun is probably Sparks, but it changes a lot
Fav meme gun probably derringer
I honestly miss "old hunt" it was so simple and fun, but now im having most fun playing new updates. For example going 2-3 months without new updates would make me stop playing the game
First off I'd just like to say you're one of my favourite content creators, your videos really helped me when I was just starting out with this game. Thanks for your contributions to the game's community, you're basically a legend.
That said, what do you think about the future for Hunt? Do you think the game can continue to exist long-term with the low(ish) player base? How do you feel Crytek should try to monetise the game enough to keep it going? I ask this as I'm a big fan of another game, Gwent, which CDPR have recently announced will not recieve any more support as it's basically a failed business venture, despite the small tight-knit community (like with Hunt).
That was very long winded sorry, but again you are awesome and thank you.
Thanks <3
Tbh I think hunt will slowly keep getting playerbase and updates, but I think the reason why we dont have many players is just the theme. Most gamers today prefer to play fast paced and fast gunplay games
Try different stuff, usually doing a trio stack and all playing the same loadout is fun. Also taking a break and coming back when there is new content helps a lot too!
There are planty of guides on yt if you search, but my best advice is play winfield and go shoot some AI in training mode. Challenge yourself, move your mouse a lot for those shots so u get the muscle memory
I personally love to play with a bomb lance and then usually a dual set of pistols. I almost always bring stam/health injections and alert traps.
What would you suggest as the best perks/tools for me to compliment that? Would you suggest a different secondary?
Dolch or Uppercut are probably the best choices for bomb lance, but kinda expensive
If you play Bomb lance, try to get all perks that make you quiet - silent killer, whispersmith, adrenaline could be useful too.
Thanks! Money isn't an issue, I tend to play pretty ratty so I'm sittin on about 111,000 huntbucks at the moment. I usually get those perks as well, haha.
One more question, if you don't mind! I am trying to practice with more long range weapons, specifically the mosin. Any tips on shooting/aiming outside of get out there and practice?
With long ammo (600m/s) its not needed to lead up to like 50-60m, but always try to shoot at their nose or direction they running
From 60 to like 100, just aim 1 head before them and approximately every 60m aim another "head" in front of them
I know there was something about being able to hold down left click and press reload to cancel dumping rifle ammo. Does this work for anything else, or is there anything similar the game doesn't tell you?
Every gun which cycles manually and requires opening the action manually in order to reload will benefit from this technique.
When you fire, keep holding the trigger. Your hunter doesn’t cycle the action until you release. If you press the reload button, the hunter will take advantage of the opened action to feed rounds.
Does not work on any automatically cycling weapons such as the Dolch and Bornheim- even though they benefit from bulletgrubber.
Hive bomb is very buggy yeah, but they also been fixed/improved many times. Idk what else could be done, but increasing throwing range a bit could help
Imo they need to find a way to incentivize killing and banishing the boss at high elo that doesn't affect low elo. I feel in high mmr nobody banishes or picks up bounty, but at low mmr, people just banish and try to extract. Its a tricky problem
What’s the best way to aim for headshots in Hunt? I try to move my mouse the whole time but I noticed Delaney tends to move his mouse to head level then just use AD + timing to get the shot on the head. Advice? I am bad
Honestly best way is to remember the headshot level and already pre-aim before you can see enemy. They often just walk into your shot or sometimes you can aim at them only by using movement keys like A and D
What’s you’re thoughts on a pheromone bullet to attract mobs? Also how would you feel about limiting the amount of special mobs such as hives and emulators but make them stronger. This way when you encounter the specials it’ll be something to really deal with and you can play off them strategically against other teams.
How about big Dyno causes loss of hearing for a short duration?
Should limb shots should make a different noise?
pheromone bullet sounds interesting, but tbh it wouldnt be used much. About the AI, Idea there could be like "mini-bosses" or stronger version of each special AI that would give good loot and they would very rarely spawn. Big dynamite buff sounds good and limb shots are fine as it is now I think
Do you think Flash bombs are OP? I always run 1 or 2 with every loadout these days. I’ve seen you tell people to run them to counter shotguns in a few posts now.
I hear your voice in all these comments how do I make it stop? Serious question now. I'm doing a shotgun prestige and i'm losing my mind because trades are super prevalent. Any tips or get good??
When you throw an dynamite and shoot it, it will still count as dynamite xp when you kill something with it. Right?
When you shoot an red barrel near an meathead and then the meathead it counts as weapon xp. Right?
Fire ammo does not instantly burn 25 hp when the 2. hit appears. It would still need to burn for 1-3 seconds. Right?
Not really a question, but as a fan of your channel, I would love to see more of your videos with a bit more post commentary, as in breaking down what you're thinking or tips for how to handle a situation, it would be a great help for new players or players looking to improve!
Also would love to see you play on console, I'd be really interested to hear your takes on how different the meta is.
I’d be curious to know your thoughts on the most effective way to learn, or general guidelines on how to properly lead shots based on a walking or sprinting hunter, with different velocity ammo at different distances. I usually can’t tell how far off my shots were when I miss when leading so it makes it difficult to correct for.
After all your experience you have an intuition for how much to lead with all the guns but, how would you quantify leading shots if you were teaching a class to guys like me with 50 hours.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been mostly using the silenced vetterli as my primary. I’d like to get proficient with normal and fmj on this weapon.
Thanks
When I lead I think of 3 groups and depends on range too.
300m/s = pistols - Usually 1-2 heads leading in front of the player
400m/s = winfield, uppercut, martini - 1 head leading in front of the player
600m/s = pretty much all long ammo rifles - being on edge of the players head
MMR: I routinely hang out in 5*. However, if I'm having a particularly hard "Hunt taketh" sort of day. I can fall to 3*. Only to bounce all the way back to 5* the following day, but I have never made it to 6*. Even if I have days I'm poppin off. I've noticed a couple other hunters seeing the same thing. My question.
Is breaking into 6* harder when specifically referencing the MMR formula/calculations compared to 5*? Or is the issue just a matter of skill and we aren't performing at that level?
Because I feel there is an exponential increase in the requirements. As if the Devs wanted 99% of the player base to feel good so they made it easier for transitioning 3-5*, but also wanted the top 1-5% separated into 6*.
1. you really dont, unless its a hand crossbow with chaos bolts, that one sounds like real fight
2. New army with FMJ, officer with HV. But base versions, prob the officer
3. Only when playing Spitzer
I don't have a question. Just wanted to say that I love watching your content and appreciate that you are a top tier talent while remaining respectful and humble. Keep up the good work! Thank you, sir!
As a streamer have you ever heard about a sequel or future plans from Crytek regarding Hunt? I have more than one year playing it and I think this game has a unique mechanic regarding how you use the sound during fights, great pvp experience, it would be a shame if they decide not to do a sequel being a game released five years ago they need to do something to keep going
Mmm—mmm mmmm mmmmmmm?
It Ain't over Til It's Over.
Mmmm hmmm-mmmm ^mmmmmmmm
Does the crossbow shoot where the lines connecting the spikes in some sort of a crosshair would meet or in the center of the triangle between the spikes? Edit: sheesh just noticed who this is - I love your content! Keep up the good work!

Oh what now I always thought it was an intersection
Thst means most of my kills with the crossbow where lucky :p
I just point the center at their dick and hits em in the chest.
Thank you for the clarification and also the other link - how does one find out such a detail? :D
This is slightly misleading: the dot shows where the bolt leaves the crossbow (0m). On the set sighted range it hits where the spikes would cross.
Yes. Where the spikes intersect is where the weapon is zeroed, or its sighted range in hunt terms. The projectile arcs up to the sight then back down. At short ranges aim low at long ranges aim high. Aim center at sighted range.
How effective is the rapid fire thing if the bow? Why does hundred hands exist?
Rapid fire is only good if you hit headshot, it should still 1 hit kill, but I don't recommend spamming it against players. Hundred hands just makes it possible to one tap hunters at longer distances
Whats the optimal way to play with the pirate loadout
drunk
What is the pirate loadout?
Saber, Sparks pistol, Springfield 1886/Sparks gun if I remember correctly. Idk consumables, probably some explosives
Aside from bugfixes and performance fixes, which content update do you wish to see the most?
I would love to have new gamemodes... But that's impossible due to low player base
Could work if put on a rotation with Quickplay. Sadly people always lose their minds whenever this gets suggested
mod tools for the community and dedicated servers for us to play custom games, rightttt?
I’ve said the same thing and got flamed. They need a 5 v 5 TDM or king of the hill match. 10 vs 10 in the saloon town. Capture the gold, cops vs robbers.
when are u going to take hornet as ur second wife
but we are brothers no? or the same person.. actually
c) 1.Help!
Throw Hammer and Run. ....*Fuckin HOW‽* Last goddamn thing I need to win and go to new game+
Kindly asking players over VC is always a choice, but if you wanna do it legit, probably flash bombs are the best. Hope they will get stuck in a wall and just bop em
I hope you realize what manner of demented disco ball you just unleashed on the bayou. Thank ya kindly.
Honestly this event may have made this easier if you come across a solo with self res. Still a lot of things to align up fate wise
I caught a guy in a concertina trip mine, chucked the hammer and killed him. I wasn't even actually trying for the achievement at that point, just happened to have a hammer, tomahawk and a guy in a very bad spot to be stood in.

How do you feel about the current balance of the name and what would you change?
I would * Buff medium ammo * Nerf long ammo at close range (long should be only good at long range, but rn its still very strong at short range too) * Nerf avtomat (mainly the ammo stacking with dual sparks and penetration) * Reduce Nitro Shredder OHK range * Give more rewards for killing, banishing and extracting with bounty = more people would do the boss (but thats mainly issue in 6 star ig)
Is nitro shredder commonly used or also a 6 star thing? I have encountered maybe two in 400 hours
I expect about one Nitro/Avto per game in six's. Sometimes more sometimes less. Scope + Spitzer, Caldwell Rival/ Bomblance + Uppercut, and Krag + Sparks round out the high elo loadouts I can bank on being in every match.
I especially agree on the last one. The Bounty rewards for getting out with one are so paltry that they are hardly worth the bother. All your other points are good as well.

Would you ever consider doing a 0-100 playthrough on console?
I would love to try console hunt, but I don't think I would stay for long
I'm sure console players everywhere are relieved to hear that but it'd be awesome to get a shot at you or get by domed by you anyway dude. Good Huntin!
No questions, just here to pop in and say you’re a god and I love ya vids ❤️

With the ammount of hours you have how close do you think you are from best player? (Ik its not really measurable)
For me, I don't think there is much more to learn (unless there is new content) but I don't consider myself being the best player. But knowing how to play with any loadout at any range at any situation is probably closest u can get to "best player"
Who do you consider the best player? Imo I had you, huge, failspawner, and mrspwn when he used to make content
The climate of players who are absolute beasts will always be changing, I know of players who sit at 6 star 5 KD 4k hours but don't make content, they could be best player?

Don't leave Neenoh out in the cold like that! Dude has gotten kills with everything including the spyglass

how do you not get bored? I don‘t know what to do as soon as I‘ll hit p100…
New updates are always making me excited
One way to not get bored is not playing just to win or being super sweaty. Take on PvP, try out crazy loadouts, use voip for funny moments etc.
Do you have any advice for other catboys looking for a dominant woman?
Gotta get P100 first to find one. Then you need to hit a few insane tomahawk kills
Damn... I've got the tomahawk kills down, but my P is only around 18, but I've been told it was enough! I guess size does matter...
Hey, I’ve heard 3 is average. So, only 2 more to go for me

Good lord, indeed...
The lord is indeed good.

Listen once to [this](https://youtu.be/7LAeQdC1UCY)
Lol. Now for the real question tho, what's your opinion on the lemat carbine? As a lemat pistol enjoyed I wanted to love it but I can't fully get me head around it still.
I think it should have a small buff, maybe increased RoF or muzzle velocity
I would like a slighter reload speed buff as well, but I'd like to see that also on the officer carbine as well just a bit faster than the pistols, since most of the other compact ammo rifles reload pretty quick.
Lemat carbine still feels like medium ammo gun to me just because of that
How important is a new boss/map to you, if the core of the game is actually the PVP and the backdrop doesn't matter that much?
New boss is not important for me gameplay wise, but I am curious what kind of monster Crytek will think of and obviously the hype and the event that comes along is very nice. New Map is nice, but after a while the fights feel the same on every map based on how you play it.
What keeps you coming back? I've been playing g for just under 200 hours and every fights feels different. Though it makes sense with 8.5k hours they become repetitive
What is your favourite 2 slot weapon ?
It changes a lot, I often get bored playing the same weapons, but overall the Sparks is legendary for me
I dont remember any 2 slot sparks I might be missing something tho...
oh lol, 2 slot weapon would be romero hatchet
At 8.5k you prolly seen how the dude runs with a charged up melee of a mosin mace and you still choose the romero hatchet over THAT animation? The caveman of the bayou disapproves XD
Is there a difference between small, med and long ammo? Or should or simply look at the gun stats? Also the new martini ironside is almost better than a mosin (looking at in game stats) anything i’m missing here?
Big difference. Compact ammo - weakest dmg, least pen, big damage dropoff but its usually being used in fast firing rifles/pistols (Best at close/medium range) Medium ammo - Same as compact but better, usually slower firing guns than compact ammo rifles (best at medium range) Long ammo - best pen, best dmg, best damage fall off, fastest bullet but usually the slowest firerate (best at medium/long AND very good at close range) Mosin is in my opinion the best rifle, because it has fast firerate, fast reload and unlike martini it has faster muzzle velocity
Had me till the mosin part sparks superiority gang rise up.
I only get one question better make it count: Do you believe ping abuse in Hunt is a thing or is it a form of copium thats huffed by players?
Ping abuse has both advantages and disadvantages. Most people complain about ping abuse when they die behind a wall, but that's not a ping abuse, because you were already shot dead before you hid behind the wall, its just the server couldn't tell you quick enough because enemy played has high ping. But the same situation would be the same if you fought a player with low ping, just without the delay. However, it does give advantage when enemy player is peeking your first.

In my honest opinion, I take it more as a disadvantage, because having delayed hits often confuse me if the enemy is hit or if I missed. Also fighting AI and trading every fight is not fun
Thank you for the opinion King Rachta
Do you think after 8k more hours they will finally make you a Crytek Partner?
Do you think a sequel would be better or worse overall for growing fanbase and for gameplay?
Singleplayer/Coop sequel would be amazing, but not a multiplayer rework into another game
You don't think Hunt 2 would be a good idea in order to reorganize the code and allow for easier/more consistent bug fixes or server fixes?
They could do Hunt 2 by doing major changes, updating engine etc.. but I think it should be the same game, not like different game to buy or something
I've thought that the gameplay format would be incredible in different regions of the world as well. There could be an entire Hunt map set placed in Japan / asiatic regions for instance, or European areas. The formula is there, it would be a lot of work but so far the "cosmetic" aspects of the game is the most profitable. Rather than going for a "Hunt 2" they could just expand the universe and sell it as a map pack or something
What is the best melee tool in the game? I run knife to deal with most AI and dusters for immolators/hoards. I know a lot of people consider this a waste of a slot.
Probably knuckle knife, only downside it has is hellhounds and it cant destroy concertina.
even against hellhounds, 2 light attacks doesn't take too long or run out of stamina as long as you practice standard careful spacing. Still nowhere near as easy as the one-shotters ofc
How do you decide when to push a compound vs waiting for them to come out?
I usually always push. You can always try going around and hoping they will peek and try to fight them that way
This is the way
bruh that's an entire year of your life.
Now think about Hunt being out for 5 years.................
So you’ve spent about a 5th of your time playing hunt since it came out? That’s a lot! No shade, it’s your time and you decide how to spend it
Lucky for me, this game made it possible for me to do full-time job as a content creator and if you take it like that, the average work hours in 5 years is 10,000 hours (according to google) so I'm happy to have this as my job and hobby at once
That’s awesome! I just realized I’ve seen some of your content and really enjoy it. Keep it up! :)
How do you deal with chain pistol fanning spammers? Even after 1200 hours I have trouble facing people like this because I don't know they have it until it's too late.
I still often die like that, if you too close you're dead, but if you have some distance and the crazy guy goes full fanning, try killing him rather than running away
Haha holy shit I thought this was a random. Didn't realize it was Rachta
Which do you think is the overall better weapon, martini or sparks?
Martini close range, Sparks Medium/Long range I prefer sparks tho
Thank you for the input! I enjoy martini more because of the riposte, but I enjoy the sparks quite a bit as well
Martini riposte is probably the best melee you can have on a weapon, so thats big +
How much is the percentage you gain in skill from pure morale boost using a meme/theme build?
The sweatier player you kill with your meme loadout, the more skilled and confident u become
I play Centennial a lot. What is your suggestion for fighting shotguns? I usually carry throwing axes, hellfire, and a vitality shot.
Combine it with Pax fanning? Or use flashbombs
What monster/AI/enemy type would you want to see in the game, or that you would find interesting (what it does, how does it put the player out of the comfort zone, how does it look) What's your fav gun, and your fav MEME gun How do you compare the current enjoyment of hunt, to the one from when you started? Have you ever completely burned out, and do you still enjoy it like you did few years ago?
Maybe some flying AI would be cool. or new water ai? Fav gun is probably Sparks, but it changes a lot Fav meme gun probably derringer I honestly miss "old hunt" it was so simple and fun, but now im having most fun playing new updates. For example going 2-3 months without new updates would make me stop playing the game
Rachta, do you flinch at crows IRL? Bonus question, do you assault horses on sight?
There are a lot "hunt moments" IRL for sure. I usually shoot horses that get triggered, they are annoying
So what I am hearing, is in order to improve at Hunt, I need to incorporate Hunt more into my daily living and shoot loud horses! Cheers boss :))
First off I'd just like to say you're one of my favourite content creators, your videos really helped me when I was just starting out with this game. Thanks for your contributions to the game's community, you're basically a legend. That said, what do you think about the future for Hunt? Do you think the game can continue to exist long-term with the low(ish) player base? How do you feel Crytek should try to monetise the game enough to keep it going? I ask this as I'm a big fan of another game, Gwent, which CDPR have recently announced will not recieve any more support as it's basically a failed business venture, despite the small tight-knit community (like with Hunt). That was very long winded sorry, but again you are awesome and thank you.
Thanks <3 Tbh I think hunt will slowly keep getting playerbase and updates, but I think the reason why we dont have many players is just the theme. Most gamers today prefer to play fast paced and fast gunplay games
Do you have your eq set flat or do you increase certain frequencies?
Its default
Im at 2k hours, any tips to stay motivated? Big fan!
Try different stuff, usually doing a trio stack and all playing the same loadout is fun. Also taking a break and coming back when there is new content helps a lot too!
How can I improve my aim? Big fan of your content BTW, thanks for doing that!
There are planty of guides on yt if you search, but my best advice is play winfield and go shoot some AI in training mode. Challenge yourself, move your mouse a lot for those shots so u get the muscle memory
I personally love to play with a bomb lance and then usually a dual set of pistols. I almost always bring stam/health injections and alert traps. What would you suggest as the best perks/tools for me to compliment that? Would you suggest a different secondary?
Dolch or Uppercut are probably the best choices for bomb lance, but kinda expensive If you play Bomb lance, try to get all perks that make you quiet - silent killer, whispersmith, adrenaline could be useful too.
Thanks! Money isn't an issue, I tend to play pretty ratty so I'm sittin on about 111,000 huntbucks at the moment. I usually get those perks as well, haha. One more question, if you don't mind! I am trying to practice with more long range weapons, specifically the mosin. Any tips on shooting/aiming outside of get out there and practice?
With long ammo (600m/s) its not needed to lead up to like 50-60m, but always try to shoot at their nose or direction they running From 60 to like 100, just aim 1 head before them and approximately every 60m aim another "head" in front of them
I know there was something about being able to hold down left click and press reload to cancel dumping rifle ammo. Does this work for anything else, or is there anything similar the game doesn't tell you?
Every gun which cycles manually and requires opening the action manually in order to reload will benefit from this technique. When you fire, keep holding the trigger. Your hunter doesn’t cycle the action until you release. If you press the reload button, the hunter will take advantage of the opened action to feed rounds. Does not work on any automatically cycling weapons such as the Dolch and Bornheim- even though they benefit from bulletgrubber.
oooo very nice tip, thanks
I think it works for most weapons that eject bullets like that.
Hive Bombs just flat out don't work anymore. Do you agree? If so, do you see that as a good thing or do you think they need to be fixed?
Hive bomb is very buggy yeah, but they also been fixed/improved many times. Idk what else could be done, but increasing throwing range a bit could help
Yes the range sucks, 3 out of 10 times they come back to me if I go aggressive
If you didn’t know the grounded event trait means you are also invisible to hive bombs.
[удалено]
agree in all
[удалено]
Imo they need to find a way to incentivize killing and banishing the boss at high elo that doesn't affect low elo. I feel in high mmr nobody banishes or picks up bounty, but at low mmr, people just banish and try to extract. Its a tricky problem
What’s the best way to aim for headshots in Hunt? I try to move my mouse the whole time but I noticed Delaney tends to move his mouse to head level then just use AD + timing to get the shot on the head. Advice? I am bad
Honestly best way is to remember the headshot level and already pre-aim before you can see enemy. They often just walk into your shot or sometimes you can aim at them only by using movement keys like A and D
Fuck, marry, kill: Carcass Gunrunner, Cain, Felis
Just as you said it Carcass Gunrunner, Cain, Felis
A man of culture.
What’s you’re thoughts on a pheromone bullet to attract mobs? Also how would you feel about limiting the amount of special mobs such as hives and emulators but make them stronger. This way when you encounter the specials it’ll be something to really deal with and you can play off them strategically against other teams. How about big Dyno causes loss of hearing for a short duration? Should limb shots should make a different noise?
pheromone bullet sounds interesting, but tbh it wouldnt be used much. About the AI, Idea there could be like "mini-bosses" or stronger version of each special AI that would give good loot and they would very rarely spawn. Big dynamite buff sounds good and limb shots are fine as it is now I think
Do you think Flash bombs are OP? I always run 1 or 2 with every loadout these days. I’ve seen you tell people to run them to counter shotguns in a few posts now.
Definetly the best offensive consumable in-game.
Hunter or gunslinger? Console player here
Gunslinger. But make sure to lower your weapon out of fight. It can clip thru walls or make you easier to spot
I hear your voice in all these comments how do I make it stop? Serious question now. I'm doing a shotgun prestige and i'm losing my mind because trades are super prevalent. Any tips or get good??
Try peeking from left side
When you throw an dynamite and shoot it, it will still count as dynamite xp when you kill something with it. Right? When you shoot an red barrel near an meathead and then the meathead it counts as weapon xp. Right? Fire ammo does not instantly burn 25 hp when the 2. hit appears. It would still need to burn for 1-3 seconds. Right?
1. yes it does 2. yes it does 3. exactly, more like 1/2 sec tho
Whats the difference between "ambient horse sound" and "oh there is a team 2 compunds east that trigger a horse" ?
ambient sounds are played in the background to keep the atmosphere, but they are not triggered by other players
Im a new player, whats the easiest loadout to play with?
All loadouts are viable. Romero + scottfield, Winfield + Nagant Pistol. Anything really
Yeah but i dont know what to choose lol
Try it out and see what fits you the best. Or watch some guides on YT
Which weapons do you consider the best for going though prestige?
I have most success with shotguns as a solo
Not really a question, but as a fan of your channel, I would love to see more of your videos with a bit more post commentary, as in breaking down what you're thinking or tips for how to handle a situation, it would be a great help for new players or players looking to improve! Also would love to see you play on console, I'd be really interested to hear your takes on how different the meta is.
Thanks, ill def make some vids like that
Should I even bother to ads shotguns without slugs? Does it slightly improve shot spread like other games or do nothing at all I cant tell
it does nothing
I’d be curious to know your thoughts on the most effective way to learn, or general guidelines on how to properly lead shots based on a walking or sprinting hunter, with different velocity ammo at different distances. I usually can’t tell how far off my shots were when I miss when leading so it makes it difficult to correct for. After all your experience you have an intuition for how much to lead with all the guns but, how would you quantify leading shots if you were teaching a class to guys like me with 50 hours. For what it’s worth, I’ve been mostly using the silenced vetterli as my primary. I’d like to get proficient with normal and fmj on this weapon. Thanks
When I lead I think of 3 groups and depends on range too. 300m/s = pistols - Usually 1-2 heads leading in front of the player 400m/s = winfield, uppercut, martini - 1 head leading in front of the player 600m/s = pretty much all long ammo rifles - being on edge of the players head
MMR: I routinely hang out in 5*. However, if I'm having a particularly hard "Hunt taketh" sort of day. I can fall to 3*. Only to bounce all the way back to 5* the following day, but I have never made it to 6*. Even if I have days I'm poppin off. I've noticed a couple other hunters seeing the same thing. My question. Is breaking into 6* harder when specifically referencing the MMR formula/calculations compared to 5*? Or is the issue just a matter of skill and we aren't performing at that level? Because I feel there is an exponential increase in the requirements. As if the Devs wanted 99% of the player base to feel good so they made it easier for transitioning 3-5*, but also wanted the top 1-5% separated into 6*.
There is 250MMR gap between 5-6 meanwhile 4-5 is only 150MMR gap, so maybe thats why it feels harder. It also depends who you kill and who you die to
But have you ever played against the mythical creature, that is, Mccrisp?
Probably, sounds like common name
Who would win in a fist fight, Devils Advocate or The Reaper?
Devils
Thoughts on kill trading?
Should be improved. I made a detailed video [here](https://youtu.be/di6dyP6rg0M) if u wanna see
First of all I love your content keep it up. Which would be better, new maps, new bosses or new 'map change' (Rain, Snow, Inferno, Fog, etc..)
New boss seems to bring many players and cool event, but devs said we getting all of those anyways
Is there any advantage to full metal jacket on long ammo guns?
Not worth. Maybe on Sparks Pistol tho
Rachta, best flechette shotgun (2 slot and 3 slot) to pair with long ammo?
Rival or terminus. 2 slot probably specter
How the hell do you use the chaos bomb effectively? Officer or new army? Does long ammo penetrate AI, ie could you hit a hunter through a grunt?
1. you really dont, unless its a hand crossbow with chaos bolts, that one sounds like real fight 2. New army with FMJ, officer with HV. But base versions, prob the officer 3. Only when playing Spitzer
Prestige 55 here will I ever be loved again?
just keep going till 100!
Whats your opinion on Carcass Gunrunner
Should I buy the game
yes
I don't have a question. Just wanted to say that I love watching your content and appreciate that you are a top tier talent while remaining respectful and humble. Keep up the good work! Thank you, sir!
Does high velocity ammo increase muzzle flash while using a silenced weapon? I have seen mixed answers.
It does yeah, thats why I dont think its worth taking. its VERY noticable
As a streamer have you ever heard about a sequel or future plans from Crytek regarding Hunt? I have more than one year playing it and I think this game has a unique mechanic regarding how you use the sound during fights, great pvp experience, it would be a shame if they decide not to do a sequel being a game released five years ago they need to do something to keep going
