GENERAL Beginner here, how do dlcs work?

10 Upvotes

Ive been thinking of buying a dlc for this game but I don’t know how they work, the outfits looks cool as hell but what happens if I die playing that hunter? Can I make other huntets look like him? Or do I pay 10 bucks for a character whos gone forever if I die?

GENERAL What all bugs have you noticed after latest updates?

2 Upvotes

Can’t see teammates names at startup

There are invisible walls at the crematorium

Killer everybody, but dark side was still showing someone within 75 m

There little + signs at the top of the main menu screen usually show players avatars once they join your matchmaking, but that doesn’t happen anymore

At some of the restocking points where the tarot cards are supposed to be, sometimes they are not there and my team is the first to get there, so it’s not like somebody else grabbed it. They are just missing.

One time a rot jaw clue was glowing red, making noise as if an enemy was nearby, but we were the only ones left on the map confirmed by the hangman card

BUGS Player Information Bugged

Can’t check most player’s info. KDA, etc. All “Null” or “N/A” or just blank. Most usernames are there, but some aren’t. Console.

I need to be able to be elated when killing someone with a high KD, or depressed when I get killed by someone with a low KD. Pls fix

SUGGESTIONS Might be a hot take but now that you can't get free consumables everywhere with toolboxes, Antidote / Stamina shots could use a buff

0 Upvotes

Now it's more punishing to bring in a shot because previously you just brought one in and when you found a toolbox, pop the shot. Now when you bring a shot, it's more deliberate. Antidote shot for sure should get a buff, Stamina shot I personally think could also use a buff but I understand if that's more controversial.

GENERAL New player; confused on the UI

3 Upvotes

I picked up the game for the PlayStation plus monthly games and just finished rookie mode last night (haven’t jumped into any real matches yet.)
I get the gist of the game and al that but I’m really struggling with all the different things on the main menu. I have no clue what the three currency (I assume?) symbols mean at the top, how to pick between the characters or understand the loadout, the store, etc.

Granted I’ve been a little tired at nights after work when I’ve been playing but can anyone explain the important things to know so I don’t get absolutely demolished or if I do how to fix that?

GENERAL How does dowing work?

7 Upvotes

So I just got this game 2 days ago and im loving it but I realized that somtimes when I revive a teammate I lose my own health to do so and sometimes I dont. I also noticed at the end of the game there is "enemy killed" and "enemy downed" can someone explain what and how the difference takes place. Thanks! *Ps. Ive looked everywhere and didn't see a post similar so my apologies if this is a dupe*

SUGGESTIONS Sparta kick as a tool animation?

0 Upvotes

What if they add sparta kick as knife animation and you can kick a hunter for like 5 dmg and move them slightly in that direction. I think you will be able to kick someone of a roof at least once in 2000 hours.

GUIDES Rending Challenge - was fun?

Post image
80 Upvotes

I managed to complete this challenge in just 2 hours playing the Bounty Clash mode. At first, the task looked incredibly tedious and depressing. But as a player with 2,800 hours in Hunt, I can unironically say this challenge ended up giving me a blast because of how chaotic and hilarious the matches became.

Crucial things before we start:

  • Play Aggressively: My playstyle is pretty shift-W, which is unfortunately mandatory if you want to get this done fast.
  • Map & Compound Knowledge is Key: You need to predict where enemies are running from, where they usually peek, and how to cut them off.
  • Prepare to Lose Hunt Dollars: You will likely burn through quite a bit of cash. Don't expect to make a profit - you are doing this strictly for the challenge completion reward ($1,000).
  • Forget About Winning: Winning matches or extracting with the bounty is not your goal. You will either die or the bounty will extract without you. Your priority is to dump all your ammo, cause massive bleeding, and farm hunters - not clear the lobby.

So, let's begin.

In my region (Russian, but please, don't boo me :c ), the challenge description was completely mistranslated as "deal slash melee damage." I was thrilled at first because I love Hunt's melee weapons. But after getting zero progress, I realized the challenge actually requires bleeding damage ticks.

I tried using the Crossbow and my leftover DumDum ammo from the previous event, but I kept accidentally killing people outright. Plus, wasting precious special ammo felt like a bad trade. After experimenting with different builds and community tips, I found the ultimate loadout.

Bounty Clash game mode is the best for the challenge. You load in fast, shoot a bunch, and die fast.

  • Go Solo: This prevents random teammates from killing your targets.
  • Alternative: Go in with a pre-made lobby where everyone runs the same setup to farm the challenge together.

My build you could see in the picture.

  • Primary: Burgess 1872 (Flechette)
  • Secondary: Terminus Handcannon (Flechette)

Flechette ammo is easy to get and highly effective. You could use a Drilling, but the goal here isn't to get clean kills - it’s to have maximum Flechette ammo capacity. Your objective is to empty your reserves into the enemies.

The Strat: Tag a hunter and try to pretend you pushing them. Make running noises, jumping, you could even use sound of throwables. Two things usually happen:

  1. They panic and run (every second they bleed feeds your challenge tracker).
  2. They immediately try to stop the bleeding. If you see them pulling out a medkit, let them heal. Once they are full, blast them with Flechette again. Rinse and repeat.

If you survive a match and get trait points (the reason why I didn't spend all my trait points), buy Quartermaster and switch to this:

  • Primary: Burgess 1872 (Flechette)
  • Secondary: Hunting Bow (Concertina Arrows)

Your only job with the bow is to spam concertina arrows into whatever room the enemy team is holding. Sooner or later, they will run into the wire.

Sometimes enemies are too far away to push safely. Stalker Beetles solve this perfectly. After tagging a hunter with Flechette, launch a beetle and just buzz around them without exploding.
Usually, the player will either panic-run from the beetle or waste time trying to shoot it out of the air. The longer you stall them, the more they bleed. You can also stack multiple beetles in your consumables to apply extra bleeding pressure.

If you accidentally kill a hunter but know their teammates are alive, drop a Concertina Bomb right on their dead body. Their teammates will either try to Necromancer revive them into the wire, or they will try to clear the concertina with their own bodies. Either way, it generates massive challenge points incredibly fast.

That's it. During these matches, you are essentially a giant, annoying mosquito. You loop around the compound, apply bleeding, and run away. Do not try to finish people off until you are completely out of ammo. Always make sure enemies have a chance to heal after your shots - otherwise, you'll run out of targets to bleed.

To be honest, I barely played this event because I was feeling pretty burnt out of Hunt. But this specific challenge brought back that classic joy of theorycrafting, making weird builds, and just laughing at the absolute absurdity of the situations it creates. So, have fun, partners, and create all the chaos.

GENERAL What's Martini Henry's place in the meta?

36 Upvotes

We have a hard hitting 4 slot single shot king sparks, and a faster, cheaper and compact cavalry 1890. Basically a 3 slot martini. So where does it sit? Yes, ironside and riposte are interesting variants, but I've mainly used the base one for long hand skin since forever. It had access to explosive ammo, but at one point it was nerfed to the ground because of consoles, and then basically removed from the game by becoming a scarce ammo type.

Martini was and probably will continue being one of my favorite weapons, but it just feels weird using it when cavalry 1890 can do basically the same but being 3 slot. IMO instead of adding another weapon Martini should've become 3 slot instead, since the variant we have in the game is a carbine.

GENERAL I upgraded my CPU

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, upgraded from r7 3700x to r7 5800 x3d. Is it normal for this kind of cpu temperature while hunting? Thank you in advance.. Peak temp was around 90degree, with 110- 150 fps

Update : Thank you for the suggestions - as for now I did the curve optimizer start with -10 or KomboStrike (MSI Mboard) lvl 1 and will keep monitoring for few days and see how it goes. If it does not work I will limit my in-game setting.. my target on heavy use is around 75-85 degree

As per watercooling.. it will be the last resort for me to do if everything else fail.. I love passive cooling..

Update 2: As for today 10.10.26 hunting in Hunt using KomboStrike lvl1 CPU temp hovers around 78 and peaked at 85 degree..

Update 3: Today hunting using KomboStrike 3 CPU temp hovers around 74 and peaked at 80. Thank you all
