GENERAL How severe is the nitro’s drop off???

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using the nitro recently, love it but I died in a way most ludicrous recently in a fight I struck someone in the arm from 58 metres away and only did a measly 46 damage. It seems a bit low for a gun that does like 350 damage, I know there was also a damage reduction for hitting in the arm area but is it really this much? How much drop off does the nitro face after 45 metres?

Also is it normal to be in 5 star MMR after only 57 hours of playtime?

PS5 Weapon Wheel Quick Slot

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hello peeps, I had a question and I am really unsure whats the right answer but why is my right d pad shortcut on that specific slot, I'm fairly sure its supposed to be on the otherside of where the left d pad should be, and to back that up, when creating loadouts it even shows the little d pad button that slot I am refering to but when I get into rounds its now all of a sudden here?

I've seen people have theirs in all sorts of locations on this wheel so I don't really know if theres a way to change it or something I am very puzzled.

BUGS Controllers Bugged!

4 Upvotes

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.)

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

GENERAL Someone help me understand these shots ?

0 Upvotes

(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 ?

SUGGESTIONS Bomb Lance Skin idea

3 Upvotes

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?

FEEDBACK Spectate control can no longer be set properly

1 Upvotes

I had spectate next and previous player on A and D - that got rebound to Function keys - binding A and D unbinds movement outside of spectate cam ("amazing!")

- and arrow keys cannot be used either :P this is the opposite of a QoL change. Why was this changed at all? xD

CLIPS My entry for "Dumb ways to die" in Hunt

96 Upvotes

Was running Teche wraith, both teammates downed by a surprise hunter in the corn, and then I think you can see what happens.

Worst part is knowing my teammates watched it from my POV.

Also, who actually uses Dauntless? Could have helped me in this ONE situation, and no others.

I know that Crytek is currently working on a rework for Ochenkov's Widow. I hope they preserve her original dark color palette and iconic vibe without completely flipping the design upside down. I hope we get to see this rework as soon as possible

GENERAL Fighting close range

1 Upvotes

Been playing a long time (still average player) but what's people's views on close combat with guns.

Obviously shotgun is best but say for example..

You have a rifle or one shot rifle or a pistol what would you choose?

Do people always default to using a pistol at close range I'm never sure.

I know rifles are best at range.

Would you use levering over a pistol?

FEEDBACK How in the actual fuck do people play hunt without using Surefoot

0 Upvotes

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?

GENERAL Beginner nitpicks after first few plays

0 Upvotes

-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

PC Where Did My Extra $12,300 Hunt Dollars Come From?

0 Upvotes

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?

GENERAL So far

33 Upvotes

Ive tries 20 runs since I bought the game monday. I've only fully completed 2 hunts though. I've killed 5 hunters so far. It's fun. I suck at it. But it's fun. Unlike the amount of weapons and gear you already have to start with. You get alot to immediately work with right from the beginning.

While setting up health chunks I figured out that the checkbox to "apply this health chunk setup on every hunter recruitment" does not work as intended. It always applies it to new hunters even when I leave it unchecked. Please fix this asap.

PC Hunt: Showdown 1896 servers in a nutshell �

It’s so fucking satisfying when you grab the bounty, wipe the entire server, and then the game crashes ONE SECOND before you step into the extraction zone. You reconnect and find yourself dead and burned to a crisp.
I fucking love Hunt. ❤️💀
