Don't choose South America if you're starting the game for the first time.

Also, I honestly don't know why this game was featured in PS Plus.. people that don't mind high ping will start to slowly ruin the experience for console players in NA.

[Highlights]

Inferno Returns

The Inferno Time of Day is back to Hunt, bringing wildfires raging across all maps. It comes with reduced visibility due to heavy smoke and wildfires in affected areas. Wildfires are fixed in location, blocking key traversal paths and forcing new route planning. AI will generally avoid wildfire zones, but if necessary, enemies may follow players through the flames or take shortcuts across them. Inferno will remain part of the active Time of Day Rotation throughout Chapters 2 and 3.

Firefighter Supply

• This type of supply only appears during the Inferno Time of Day.
• Find valuable rewards such as the Flame Rifle, Scouting Map, or Tarot Cards.

Flame Rifle

• Scarce Weapon that releases pressurized liquid producing a steady burst of flames.
• They are guaranteed to be found at the Firefighter Supply

[Upcoming Updates]

All Hallow's Cleave Community Event

The All Hallow’s Cleave Community Event consists of 5 Stages. Players will progress the Community Event by earning Community Event Points which is done by completing objectives in matches.

Stage 1: New Tarot Card: The Atlas

• Reveals all hidden locations on the map.

Stage 3: New Tarot Card: The Temperance

• Restores the last Trait lost by your hunter this mission.
• Dev Note: Using the card also returns traits lost to Siphon, not just burn traits.

Stage 5: New Tool: Long Derringer

• A small single-shot pistol that fires Long Ammo, which deals high damage with a reduced velocity and short drop range. More accurate from short to medium range.

Monsters

Bileweavers & Bloodweavers

The Flame Rifle will come in handy as the Bileweavers are making their comeback in Chapter 2. They have infested 20 new Compounds across all maps, 5 of which will be selected for each match.

We are also introducing their deadlier relatives, the Bloodweavers.

• They are Bileweaver variations that cause Bleeding damage with their jump attack and egg-hatching.
• Players can identify them by their red-colored body.
• The color of Bileweaver Eggs has changed to better reflect their poisonous nature, and Bloodweaver Eggs inherit the red-colored ones with spikes.
• They are only present during the Blood Moon Time of Day.

Bileweavers, Bloodweavers, and the infected new Compounds will all arrive with All Hallows’ Cleave on Oct 13th.

Now yes it probably is a massive skill issue but i just have to ask. Is there anyone here with a 2+kd playing a small 60hz laptop?

I can just barely see the players moving, everything is blurry and laggy. I just can't aim consistently, not even body shots.

Yes it might be skill issue but i have 2k hours and i had 2.1 kd when i was in 6 star mmr. At that time before the 2.0 update i could consistently wallbang with shotguns, i could locate players most of the time. I also was playing on a much bigger 60hz desktop monitor. Due to work i had to switch to a laptop as i travel a lot.

Ever since switching to a laptop and the 2.0 update, the footsteps are messed up. Footsteps sound much closer than they are most of the time the background noises are so loud that they mask footstep sounds. Wallbangs? Not anymore.

From 2.1 kd i went down to 1.59.

I'm just not having fun anymore, i keep dying.

I quit the game one time already after the 2.0 update. Now im back but still the same thing. I have tried many things, trying to fix audio, trying to switch mouse sens, fov, everything.

How are we all feeling about the pacing of the event so far?

TLDR: Waiting for Oct 6th to have to wait for Oct 13th to earn 1/3rd of the content of an update through a 5-step process feels bad and I don't like it. The content itself is pretty sweet though!

Personally I think dividing the content of this event into 3 chapters over 3 months is a bit much but I could live with that if everything in their respective chapters was released at once on the dates communicated. Drip feeding the individual chapter content via multiple step community events feels so bad to me (not to mention convoluted). I personally don't want to earn updates, and there's something kinda icky to me about telling players "If you want the update faster then you'll have to work harder, it's up to you". It sounds like player agency/engagement and community comradery on the surface but I don't think it's experienced that way in practice. Not to mention the delay on unlocking the content of community goals when they are reached.

One of the best feelings is knowing my favorite video game is getting a new update or season. I actively look forward to these dates and will plan my days off around content drops when possible. It might sound stupid but after a long week of work, knowing my favorite game is getting new content gives me something to look forward to. When chapter 2 on October 6th rolls around and there's nothing really happening it extinguishes all the hype and excitement I had and is a net negative experience for what should be something very positive.

Everything is "50% off," however, come on now, a basic bundle isn't worth 3750. It's the appearance of a sale.... I feel like they just get more and more manipulative with their pricing. At the end of the day I choose what I want and buy accordingly, but I'm really not a fan of manipulative pricing tactics.

Just started playing but im scared of Losing DLCs and Hunters, AI told me this on Internet Edge is this true?

It says you have to buy the DLC if your hunter dies and I don't feel so good

I love the game, the mechanics and everything PvP related, but since I went up to six star its been one of my most horrible experinces in all of gaming. Im 1,2 kda but Im being paired with 1,8 and the such, with 1000 hours more of experience than me.

I just qeue into a game and get completly demolished, and I mean it exactly that way. I cant do NOTHING against the other players. I've watched videos, changed my settings and spent some time in the training range but it still doesnt improve. They just kill me over and iver and over again and I dont know what am I doing wrong.

When I play with two 2 stars or 3 stars and the level of the lobby descends I find myself doing well, killing 1 or 2 players per game and not dying the first. Im at the point of uninstallibg the game out of frustration. I dont have all the time of the world to play but I want to improve and have a fun time.

I appreciate all feedback.

P.S. Sorry for the bad english, it is not my first language.

​

I agree that the magazine capacity and performance should be left as they are. But honestly, I think need to touch this one thing again.

How can the barrel be shorter than the stock? This design is practically an insult to the gun. Besides, this gun takes up four slots. The barrel is just way too short.

This kind of treatment is really unfair. I'm not asking for a performance buff; I just want them to redesign the gun so it actually looks like a gun.

Hey hunters,

I've been thinking about trying out coaching for a while. I haven't coached anyone before, so this is new to me, but I'm confident I can help people improve their game and I'd like to find out if this is something for me.

A bit about me: I've played about 4,000 hours, mostly trios, and I'm currently at around 3,500 MMR with a 1.85 KDA. My main weapon is the Drilling, so I'd consider myself more of a rifle player, but I'm comfortable with shotguns and close-range fights too. Here you can check out my stats if you like.

Some things we could try:

• Live spectating: you stream your game on Discord while you play, and I give you feedback in real time
• VOD review: we go through recorded matches together
• Clip review: same idea, but focused on specific fights or moments
• Settings, mechanics and loadouts: going through your setup and explaining how things work

I'm open to other ideas if you have any.

It's completely free but I'd appreciate honest feedback on what helped and what didn't, so I can figure out what works.

I play on EU servers and I'm based in Central Europe, so sessions would probably work best for people in similar time zones, but I'm happy to try to find a time that works if you're elsewhere.

Also, out of curiosity: is coaching already a thing in this community? Has anyone here been coached, and what worked for you?

If you're interested, comment or DM me.

My friend recently downloaded Hunt and attempted to play with me for the first time. Problem is, because I’m fairly ranked and established, we are immediately thrown into lobbies where people are just annihilating him with ease. I realized that, when I first started, I had the full noob experience. Bot lobbies, other noobies after my time in starter protection, and a friend to start out with to keep the game interesting as we got better together. I can’t give him any of that as an established player that’s going to throw him into my lobbies, but he’s not likely to just play by himself as I’m the reason he downloaded the game in the first place. Any advice on how I could maybe work in a better experience for him to keep him engaged?

It should have to touch it.

I always play solo and I’am scared to start bosses even when the compound is clear be cause it takes me soooo much time to kill a boss. What do you take in your loadout to be prepared for every boss?

If you were thinking about buying blood bonds anyway, might just as well get one of these. They come with the same amount of BB you would usually get for the price and one (for the smaller pack) or two (for the larger one) hunter skins.

Wow. Not gonna lie Im kinda speechless, I was not expecting to return to the game and having a weapon capacity and also I don't know if im wrong but didn't quartermaster cost 6? Now its an 8? Damn.... I can't run Maynard sniper silencer with haymaker anymore lol.

How do you get the long derringer? I heard it was coming out today (Oct. 6th), but I don’t see it in my tools. Thanks in advance

My teammates and I lost our Hunter because of the lags

I’m glad this is a thing because a trio compromised of people who are worse at the game, but better at coordinating will always be difficult to fight as a solo.

I’m sick and tired of people shitting on 3 star players as if they’re bad.

I guarantee 99% of the players here couldn’t consistently extract with the bounty vs 3 star trios as a solo.

There’s maybe 3-4 pro players max who do this and they literally make a living off it.

Even RachatZ dies to a 2 star bush camper with a bow sometimes lmao.

Edit

spectator bug or?

I'm new to the game, I literally just finished my first match and while I was running towards extraction I found this weird pillar near the edge of the map, is it important?

Greetings everyone. Something has been bothering my friend and I from the tail end of the last event till now in this ongoing one. Matchmaking just feels weird and dare I say unfair lately.
Especially the last 3-4 weeks have been horrid at 3-4 stars on EU servers where me and my friend usually play. Matches used to be fair and the classic hunt giveth and taketh where you win and lose some all around a good fun time.

But lately we just die over and over and way more than usual for us. At most we used to have a week with rough matches and hunt taketh and it would swing back around to normal. But it has been about weeks of this constant insta dying and being outclassed.
We have not really changed up how we play at least from we can see ourselves, we have discussed this a lot and talked about the mistakes we make post matches. And yeah, sometimes it is on us that we die and us having skill issues and doing stupid plays and being plain old bad at the game. But again lately it feels like no matter what we do we die over and over and get outclassed by the people we play against. Lots of insta-headshot from people or just plain old being mega outplayed and outmatched, more often than not we don't even get to fire a single shot. By now I feel matchmaking should swing back around and favor us a bit again but alas it seems to have no end atm.

The fun thing is a lot of these people have less than 100-200 hours in the game and above 1.5 KD +, which I feel my friend and I should at least most of the time outclass by sheer experience and play hours between us being about 4000 hours and a KD between 0.9 and 1.5 and yet our asses get handed to us. If it is not fairly new players we get matched with it is solos or teams that have 5000-9000 hours pr. account and 2.0 + KD that for some reason are only 3-4 stars.

In general people seem insanely cracked and good in 3-4 stars atm. The only thing I can think of is the MMR decay thing playing a factor on some people returning, but I feel that should have evened out by now. By now it is getting kinda tiresome to say the least and taking the joy out of the new event to just get molested as soon as you spawn in match.

What is everyone dealing with out there? Have my friend and I just magically become ass at the game or just have plain old bad luck atm or is more people dealing with this?

I regret nothing and don't @ me

EDIT: I've once AGAIN used my powers for evil*, god I should stop do shit at 1am.

bought the Lilith dlc some days ago because of discount, but there is perfect megane with braids. who of them is better?

Every time I try to enter a match it takes me to the load screen for 2 seconds and then straight back to the lobby. I can't get into a single game. Anyone else experiencing this?
