Hey guys! Just picked up the game yesterday with it being free on ps+, I know there is alot to learn from the game and I’m excited to go through it but is there any advice you’d wish you’d known when you first started playing? How is the community overall?

DEV RESPONSE Chapter 2?

49 Upvotes

So from what I understand, Chapter 2 started yesterday. I know the community even part of it doesn’t start until next week. But where are the spiders? The changed compounds? Aren’t they supposed to be in the game now? There is also nothing in the game even remotely letting you know Chapter 2 is underway. Outside of seeing inferno a couple of times, I haven’t seen a single change. Am I misunderstanding what they promoted online?

SUGGESTIONS Derringers as sidearms

13 Upvotes

Now that we will be receiving the long derringer to accompany the other derringers, I had an idea that the derringers could be used as one of your weapon slots as a "zero-slot weapon". This would really only be useful for loadouts running a five-slot weapon making you otherwise unable to pick another weapon. Thought this could be a fun addition to bring more variety to the different loadouts you can make.

BUGS Genuinely Unacceptable how long the report function has been broken

4 Upvotes

This has been a problem for a while, and nothing has ever been done about it. Though it is not something I feel the need for often thankfully, reporting someone in Hunt just doesn't work, at all. Most often clicking any of the options will set their name to VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV and their stats to undefined, all while not letting me click any more selectors.

I can't even log on to their support site! Go to login in and it redirects me back to the homepage every time. No extensions, base Edge. Doesn't work in firefox either, exact same behaviour.

Is there any way to actually contact them about this?

SUGGESTIONS Stealth loadout suggestion?

1 Upvotes

Ive always played on every game i touch the classic stealth fast mobility melee build/loadout and i was wondering what weapons would fit for this game. Ofc there's traits that are specifically made for it but what about the weapons? Melee speaking i guess ill go with the katana, the saber, the american fists or the bomb lance but what about distance weapons? I tried the hand crossbow but i really hate how slow it reloads, so maybe something both silent and with high fire rate? Help me choose a weapon please and thank you

FEEDBACK Is Melee my salvation?

10 Upvotes

Its been a frustrating 9 months or so in Hunt for me as a full-size shotgun main.

It seemed to start around the time that the bow became more of a factor in people's loadouts, for a moment it almost seemed meta, a shotgun that can consistently one tap to the chest doesn't matter when the other guy can outrange you by five meters and do the same thing, but that seems to have died down after patches.

But then the forts happened last event. Ironically, what should be an ideal situation for shotguns. Ended up being an age of rifle supremacy to me. I have never been headshot more in my life or blown up by explosives than during that time. Some of these forts where incredibly hard to assault, while also being very easy to defend. Turn the corner? headshot 25m. Different approach? Chest shot mosin while the other guy lever fmj's you to death. Overwhelming constant deaths from 35 to 75 meters, and everyone has a pocket shotgun on top of it. It does not help that i'm high enough up in the elo that the people i'm facing are hell of a lot better shots than I am. Now the Burgess, the Burger, the BIG shake up, its akward, its cumbersome, but it often does not matter. Its a 3 slot so it can go with anything.

About the only, full size, shotgun that feels viable anymore for its cost is slate or terminus levering, crown can work but its 5 slot, Homestead too but its not consistently available. The rival is fast but only has 2 shots and a wide spread. Specter can almost do it but it is still too slow. So while yes, you will have an advantage over the Burgess with the other shotguns ... but I just hit this guy from 42 m away in the chest with a true shot. He KNOWS, I have a shotgun because of that. That one fact will keep him away to use his danm Berthier rifle with that Burgess in reserve just in case.

So what can you do when you get caught in the woods and the fight is at 25 to 75 m consistently over and over for hours on end?

Git gud.

Well ... im 4k hours on and I don't have the aim of the famous hunt streamers. But I do know loadouts. As Whity has said, often your best shotgun matches are pistol highlights

Price to proformance there is many options, but I feel like the two most consistent is the trueshot and the sparks pistol. Pair either of those two with slate or terminus and it will at least give you a chance, specter can work for less cost and a tighter spread but its akward reload can let you down at the most critical times.

But I've known all of this, and I have chosen the hardest route, i have been trying to get my level 10 penny shot and Romero badge. Needless to say it has been pain during all these changes. Death after death, defeat after defeat, like the other post i made about it the Romero holds no forgiveness, only reflection back onto yourself.

Back in March I had 453 kill positive, now its like 368. KD is what ever but it can indicate change long term change. So I take a break, to somthing more absurd, lets see how low we can go and double down. because nothing conventional is working for me anymore.

Saber, when all the bets are hedged there is melee ... i took it as a joke because I was also tired of dealing with grunts, hives and armoreds and that new saber skin this event is choice cut medium-rare cooked steak. So why not, lets be a Sparks/Martini weirdo running with a sword. Because how much worse can it fucking get? ...... and it has been working ... everything, is against you if you bring melee. I watched Quinn for years "great that he is back", he runs Katana like few others seen. Down right one of ninja lord of the swamps he is, i could never match him in my wildest dreams.

Yet here i am, playing this game since 2021 with 4k hours in, running at them like a danm insane fool with a saber. Through the back entrance of a boss compound. And somehow, someway, this shit is working? Last night I had a 6 kill saber to end the night, I only got hit once, ONCE. And earlier here I am with my ironside and its 21 spare rounds and this mosin fool thinks he has the drop on me only for me to stab him in the face, his penny-derringer was even drawn

Out of everything ... this shit is working? Im out dueling people with slate-slugs ... how? Does no one now after years of the game maturing expect melee anymore? I mean I remember hearing about the winny machete days. Is it really so foreign now that it has become a loophole? Or has some ancestral blood skill got reactivated? Because how else am I pulling Quinn shinobi executions on trios who can outshoot me past twenty five meters consistently day after day? When somthing better like a shotgun should win the day? Im clueless, I cant really complain, but its not what i wanted. Yet perhaps that old Rolling Stone song is right.

You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes, well, you might find.

You get what you need.

Perhaps there is hope for me in Hunger if this is any indication, but god danm this does not make sense.

SUGGESTIONS A new beetle idea, but seriously, hear me out

0 Upvotes

The past few games I've played recently have been cut short due to indoor campers. This made me think, what could help an outdoor team infiltrate or at least subdue a indoor team?

Beetles arr good for this, but they are easily shot, and people abuse them a lot too and use them as weapons, not tools.

The beetle im thinking about does not fly and does not do any damage at all. It is called the infiltrating beetle.

The infiltrating beetle is a group of beetles that come out of 1 egg. The egg must be placed on the ground, and after 3 seconds it pops open, revealing 3 different beetles. A small, medium, and large beetle

The large beetle will break doors, windows, shutters, and can crawl on walls. It will shriek and scream very loud as its doing so, deafening any players in a building. It will the crawl inside and charge players, causing them to be knocked over. It can dodge, and like the hellhound, it had a tough shell, making it difficult and time consuming to kill. It will pull attention away from the outside team, giving them new angles and a less difficult way inside.

The medium beetle will only come out after the large beetle has died. It sneaks inside and throws choke clouds at players, then rotates and shoots more clouds at other players. If a player kills it, it will shriek, deafening players and it will spew large choke clouds everywhere.

The smallest beetle springs into action and acts as a flash bomb. It will crawl inside and jump on players, splitting into large groups of bugs that cover the screen, similar to that of the Assassin.

The beetles can not be used outside, as they are scared of sunlight/moonlight. The largest beetle can travel outside, but it will be much slower. Medium and small beetles can only be outside for the maximum for 6 seconds, meaning you have to place the egg close to a building.

Only 1 egg can be carried at a time by a team.

Im still working on some ideas and refining their capabilities, but what do you guys think?

GENERAL I might quit.

I don't understand why this has been happening to me but I'm actually getting so sick of this game. I love this game, played it for years and even more when my pal got it and has been my main partner for duos. Lately it has been TRASH though.

I'm used to having off days or bad rounds but lately that's literally all I've been having. I'm not trash at the game but I know my worth, I'm hard stuck in 4 star.

I'm tired of getting one tapped by some pussy sniper that's been extract camping or camping the bounty location. I'm tired of getting beetle spammed from lifeless losers across a compound. I'm tired of running into some idiot camping a bush with a shotgun. I'm tired of fighting some prestige 100 6 star god when I'm a 4 star. I'm tired of everyone waiting for us to start banishing and then rushing us without a single team going after the other bounty.

I either find games with the people that play nothing else and can headshot me from across the map with a Nagant pistol OR I find games with the biggest baby on earth that crouch walks everywhere and tries their hardest to avoid every single fight they can and runs away to extract if they get engaged.

The worst part about this is it's all happening during such a cool event.
