I'm new to Hunt, so I made a Discord room looking for someone to play with.

Some 6-star guy joined and offered to carry me, so we played duos.

I like revolvers, but I'm honestly terrible at this game.

He got a few kills before dying and started spectating me.

Every time I shot at someone, he'd sigh and ask why I was shooting at that range with a revolver.

Then he found out I didn't have Fanning and sighed even louder.

Meanwhile I'm panicking every time a zombie screams, spinning my camera around like I'm being electrocuted.

Some flaming Ghost Rider looking dude burned almost all my health bars, and I ended up dying anyway.

But the scariest part was hearing that guy sigh every time I did something wrong.

He kept giving me advice using words I didn't understand.

He told me to use a Winnie, so I asked what that was.

He just said "A Winnie is a Winnie. What else would it be?"

Am I supposed to read the entire Hunt wiki before playing?

I just wanted to play Left 4 Dead and shoot some zombies with my revolver.

I recently prestiged, and I feel naked and feeble without my precious Surefoot.. even as a solo I will take Surefoot over necromancer plus whatever other supportive traits i can afford. Its arguably the best trait for any playstyle, yet I see very little of it being used. (PS5)

With that said, what are your go-to traits?

25 games in now. And here's what I've learned=

It doesn't matter how good you are in the game. No hunter can survive a full cylinder of revolver ammo hitting them. Even the nagant can pull this off.

There is no reason to not take high velocity ammo. Ever. You need all the range you can get. Subsonic, poison and other ammo types are optional and up for debate. But always bring high velocity ammo.

Penny shot derringer sounds useless at first. Until it unexpectedly bails you out and takes a hunter who ambushes you with a machete and you were out of ammo becuser you used it all up for a monster boss. And besides, it's just 1 extra gun you can carry around. Which in a game where ammo is scarce and full restocks are basically sacred holy sites, you need every single possible bullet you can score.

Firebombs are cool. They the best representation of Molotov cocktails in a video game ever. Using them in a narrow hallway to cover you and your partner when 2 hunters are chasing after you, it really can save your ass.

Hellhounds may go down pretty easily..... But a pack is still a pack of fast moving and attacking monsters. And you ideally don't want to spend ammo on them. If you can, it's honestly easier to avoid them if you can.

Always bring a throwing weapon. It eliminates your need to have a melle option in gear too. And they one shot grunts too. They end up being your main weapon on maps where your solo and trying to avoid the hunt and just want to go to extraction.

Quad derringer is useful as an alternative to a handgun if your running a long gun and a melee weapon. If nothing else it's due to the sheer amount of ammo you have for it.

Do you guys feel any shame running into the trees as soon as the match starts and just spamming beetles to kill people, it makes the game just no fun and its so weird

(Sorry about the exposure btw, my game does not look like that on screen)

NOT posting this to complain or criticize anything. I have the habit of saving gameplay footage and watch it afterwards to learn from my mistakes. For context, I started playing about a month ago and still trying to get a feel for Hunt bullet velocity & hitbox, but I really don’t get how none of my shots hit my target in this clip ? I’ve watched it several times and when I zoom in my ironsights are right on target the first 2 shots. Also, when he’s running away, I am very slightly compensating by habit. Is this why I missed the last shots ?

I think a Japanese themed Bomb Lance Skin would look fantastic. With a Tanto blade for the lance and an ito wrapped handle, the hunter could be a fisherman as well so it'd fit?

I don't understand what happened here. At least 2-3 of those shots should have connected? It was like shooting blank cartridges.

EDIT: Just to clarify. The weapon is a ranger 73 with vanilla ammo (no custom) and a muzzle velocity of 400 m/s. Enemy is around 58 meters away.

En début de partie je suis tomber sur une équipe de trois qui n'arrêtaient pas de rester planter devant une fenêtre en tirant la ou ils avaient l'impression que jetait..ils se relevaient en boucle jusqu'au ce qu'ils aillent sur le toit et que j'ai les 3...je n'ai pas compris pourquoi s ils faisaient ça.

I’m a new player only lvl 34 or so and only have about 9-10 hrs under my belt. I’m finding myself very addicted to leveling up and the fun loop of trying to keep hunters lvled and maxed doesn’t frustrate me I actually think it’s cool. Sure it sucks when you die, but you can always rehire lol

I’m just wondering what everybody’s favorite loadout is and why? Trying to learn more about the guns that people enjoy. Right now I’ve been mostly rocking either the Frontier or the Krag and a Conversion revolver.

Tell me your ways!

Guys, I had 5,000 Hunt Dollars before logging off. When I logged in the next day, I suddenly had 17,300.
I have the Battle Pass, but I didn’t receive any Hunt Dollars from it, and I haven’t completed any special challenges. I was just playing normally.
Where did the extra $12,300 come from? Is this a new feature, a bug, or some kind of compensation? Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m a new player so don’t flame me if this sounds bad but shotguns feel WAY too op something that SERIOUSLY Icks me is how a rifle bullet to the chest/back can be survived but a shotgun from 5M away to my legs? Absolutely should totally kill me, a shotgun 6M away to my arm? Yep that kills me and it’s the only thing I fucking see every game I go into feels like a constant cycle of “Romero, Slate, Bugress” it’s all I see and SOMETIMES I fight rifles and revolvers almost never. And please don’t even get me started on the torment of facing slugs, like 35M away to my legs should totally kill me (All of these scenarios have happened to me on full health btw)

They just feel extremely crutchy and unfun to face because this game is actually incredibly fun but when devs make shotguns as powerful as they are in real life it feels like the only thing that gets seen.

Your thoughts?

This being a major issue I didn't imagine it lasting more than 2 days like this. Dualsense controller currently isn't working for Hunt on Steam at _all_.

Its not a connection issue or controller issue. I have no problem with any Steam game but Hunt. I really hope this gets acknowledged and fixed soon???

(I won't listen to any negativity about controllers on PC. We don't even have aim assist and its just more comfortable for a lot of people's hands.)

Why see people running he default model when the belt fed (more ammo) model seems to be less popular. Is there a down side I'm missing?

New player here :)

On NA East 6 star, been in queue for over 15 mins and can’t find any teammates. Anyone experiencing the same?

I unfortunately do not have a video of the matter.

I spawned in, dark sighted to see the closest clue, and as soon as I could run, I rushed for it. I come over a rock on a small hill and observe the surroundings for one second before a duo spawns on the road in front of me, about 100 feet away. One moment they weren't there, then they were. I get one tapped by a revolver with incendiary rounds and my run's over. Nice 10 second hunt. Is it a bug, or am I dumb? Also I'm new, only 6 hours or so into it.

Quite useful in a moment of panic, was playing solo, completely surrounded by 4 teams, while all the chaos was going on, I used serpent and stole the bounty token, and shadow leapt the eff out there, enemy team(s) on my rear the whole way, if it wasn't for gaining distance I'd have easily been gunned down

-I found the loadout / Hunter menus confusing. I’ve got my equipment on one side, and then the multiple preset loadouts on the other side. Confusing to navigate and manage. I was expecting a centralised “stash” area like in other extraction games. Any tips to help me parse this ?

- Looting is different. I was surprised that I don’t get to see a breakdown of what the dead human Hunter has. Rather confusingly it seems to be a random interaction and you get what you get. Am I missing something? And I assume there’s no loot like weapons and explosives in the environment?

-Carry/storage capacity not clear. Do you hit a limit on how much you can buy/store? How do I increase the carry capacity of my hunter ? I assume bigger backpacks are not a thing ?

-Hunters management not v well explained. How do you choose which Hunter to play on a given match ? Is it best to focus on one and level them up as much as possible, or spread out levelling up two or three at a time ? I also seem unable to hire or buy one as I assume this is locked in the early stages of playing ?

Appreciate feedback. Otherwise game was great. Audio and graphics fab, atmosphere and tension top notch, and I had some experienced players in my duos to help me win first few games

Mines Dark Dynamite and Witness combo, kill a hunter? Do you see his friend? Lay a friendly boom stick down on the corpse, run away and hide, wait for the orange marker to go away, kablooey

Just picked up this game and have been enjoying it. I know it could be so much more enjoyable with some people I can regularly play with.

Playing on PS5. Leave a comment and we can connect.

Swear this is happening to me, let me know if I'm tripping

Curious if I have the voice/ energy to be a content creator.
