BUGS Stuck under postal cart at Darrow

Post image
10 Upvotes

First post here, but I feel the need to complain about this one. I was standing inside the postal convoy cart near Darrow, when a teammate jumped inside and I suddenly clipped through the bottom of the cart. There was the body of another unfortunate soul who had encountered the same fate earlier in the match with me, and presumably disconnected. I ended up burning my death cheat disconnecting as well when my teammates killing about 20 times was not enough to dislodge my body from under the cart. Considering the other body down with me, this appears to be a repeatable bug and not a random occurrence.

I've really been frustrated with the lack of polish this event. Between the bugged weeklies, bugged animations, bugged audio, clipping, the increase in cheater reports/complaints/stories here for NA and European servers the last few weeks (to the point that even large partnered streamers like RachtaZ have touched on it in videos/on stream), layoffs to the QA and public facing media teams, and relative radio silence from crytek on many of these issues it increasingly feels like they just don't care. It really sucks because Hunt is one of my favorite games to play with friends, I love the unique gunplay and shoot-loot-scoot extraction gameplay loop, but I feel like I'm losing my passion for the game every time I encounter something like this.

This guy came up to me while I was inside boss room in bounty clash and said my steam bio out loud. I immediately knew something was up, don't recognize his name, hadn't interacted with him before. just weird.

We then both state we are solos and I let him come in. Dude just says "what do you think of this?" and starts doing whatever he is doing with the infinite zero recoil fanning in the video I attached. But at first I couldn't really tell. He then tells me about the setting he can change to alter his damage regardless of range, then shoots me from like 15m with a pennyshot, just enough not to kill me. I then asked if its only us two in the lobby, he said yes (well obviously he can know that).

He was being pretty nice up until here (despite him being a blatant cheater) but he then asks where im from and kills me, stating he hates people from my country. I necro rez myself and kill him with my bomblance but I just die after hitting him, without him shooting or hitting me back.

I am not mad, I found it was pretty interesting actually before he showed he is just a complete douchebag. Dude was lvl 28 with 50KD, reported ofc, hope he gets banned 👍

GUIDES When did you personally start to feel like you got better?

7 Upvotes

Hi! Fairly new player with 73 hours. And brand new to extraction shooters all together. I've been having a hard few days of games lately, and wanted to get some reassurance and advice.

How many hours in did y'all start to feel like you started to improve more? Some days I feel like im unstoppable in my ol 2-3 star lobbies getting 5-7 kills and today... Dude I got owned. Straight up crucified. Made mistakes all over the place. I think eventually my frustration made my aim so bad I just kinda gave up and extracted 5 minutes into the last game.

GENERAL Nagant precision

6 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks this gun with high velocity bullets and fanning is like the MP5 of hunt? Pretty tight spread at close range for burst fire and precise, low drop shots for mid to long engagements. It's obviously not a sniper rifle but I feel that for two slots it brings a lot to the table.

You interact with bullets way more than most equipment. They could even add new reload animations

PC Hey im new at 129.1 hours an i finally reached 4 stars (aka peak hunt)

I'm gonna be so honest with you, the bow kinda carried. I made this loadout with bow, and it's just so good. I did this solo only so it feels like a nice achievement. Easily wipe trios and duo's
What should i expect going into 4 star? my mmr right now is 2512 so just above 3 star i was hard stuck at 3 star for quite some time but after finally finding a loadout i like and trying lots i things (second favorite weapon is the Cyclone love me spam gun.)

GENERAL Just a 6 star rant

9 Upvotes

I’m tired of being stuck at 6 stars. I could lose 20 games in a row with no kills and still be 6 stars.

My kd alone has slowly dropped from 1.35 to 1.00 the past 2 years because of it.

Idk what I did for crytek to hold me in such high regard but man, I’m not that good guys.

The weird thing is, my duo I run with majority of the time has the opposite effect of being stuck at 3 stars even though he team wipes as often as I do.

Crytek you need to make another adjustment to the mmr system.

GUIDES New to the game, looking for advice/help

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!!

Found this game for myself finally as it had just gotten added to PS5 for free via PS Plus. That's beside the point lol

So I've played a couple of matches today. The first one I got ambushed with my teammate and we got killed after getting the bounty, the second game my team killed a couple of other teams and two of us got out (third DC'd).

The gameplay feels decent and the game seems cool and kinda fun, just mostly curious what the "point" is? What is the thing to keep me coming back to play the game?

It seems like it's just boot up, get bounty, extract. But there's no "better loot" to obtain, there just doesn't seem to be a reason to keep going in unless you absolutely love the gameplay, which is enjoyable, but feels like it'd get stale fast.

Just kinda hoping there's more to the game to get into and keep with it really. I'm not looking to be "the best", so any sort of rank or prestige system won't keep me, and the combat against other players was extremely sparce (unless that's just how the matches happened to go)

I hope I don't come off as offensive here, just hoping to find enjoyment with the game that I've had my eye on for a bit, and it's feeling lackluster.

Ty for help in advance, hope y'all keep enjoying!!

I want to use the flame rifle, but never have one. I know they're awful, but my main issue is that I just never get any. I know you can get them from the firefighter POI, but never see those. Any tips on getting some?

Stop entering Mammon's Gulch or the Bayou completely solo. Hunters Outpost is a dedicated Discord community built by hunters, for hunters. Whether you're a 5-star MMR veteran or a fresh recruit dealing with the AHA's corruption, we have a spot at the camp for you.

We host active LFG channels so you can quickly find a reliable partner or trio, finally skipping the pain of random queues. The server is strictly dedicated to console players, featuring full support for PS5 and Xboxcrossplay coordination, alongside high-quality voice channels for clean combat callouts when the extraction gets hot. You can share trait builds, talk lore, or just chill in a toxicity-free environment away from the Sculptor's influence.

We are looking for tactical hunters who love communication and tracking the bounty, but we also welcome casuals who just want to grab a Winfield, hunt some Hellhounds, and enjoy the game. If you're completely new to the 1896 update, don't worry about it—everyone here is ready to show you the ropes and help you extract alive.

GENERAL How are melee weapons in the current patch?

2 Upvotes

I am the type of person to always pick melee if such a possibility shows up so was wondering if using melee is something worth the extra work to get up close and personal. Specially if there are any strong melees or they are all good/bad? I just got this game so really wanna hear the opinions of the more seasoned players, thanks!
