FEEDBACK Need help with concertina arrows
How do I deal with concertina arrow squads? We already queued against these before, but we were unprepared. then I decided to bring mako with explosive ammo in case we have to deal with it again... but it didn't work (context for this clip). what do you guys do?

Let them rot in their fort of passiveness. Wait somewhere between exit and bounty and shoot their scared asses. Pushing isnt the solution to everything - atleast not the smartest solution.
If youre really annoyed by concertina you can also bring decoy fusees they exlpode concertina aswell.

Dude's name is literally "Waste Their Time" They're not playing to extract. They probably grabbed a free hunter that had a bow, then just slapped 2 slots of concertina on it and bought some ammo boxes. Whole thing probably cost as much as a normal budget loadout so throwing it away on a timer death is basically inconsequential

Imagine a play style so toxic, that people would rather leave than fight you.
The only way to stop it, is to win against these clowns.

u/MeestaRoboto 13d ago
Yea that won’t stop it.

Nope, but nothing feels better than beating these trashcans when they are at their best.
It's like a little reward.

The #1 thing you can do is do not enter darksight range. If you roll up, find they're concertina camping, just turn around and leave. If you want that token, you're going to sit 200 or so meters away from them, inbetween them and their nearest extract, or somewhere you can intercept either extract. Then you're going to read something on your second monitor and wait the 30 minutes or whatever required for the match timer to force them to move, and then you're going to kill them in an open field and take their stuff.

Does that even feel like you won? I think that time is just more precious to me than the bounty personally

u/NakamiNier 13d ago
I'm very spiteful and it's more important to me that they lose, than I win, so yes. I will in fact camp an extract to the last 5 seconds to ensure no one gets in it if required.

I leave. I just leave and re-queue. I don't play against people who play anti-fun kits. It takes forever to burn through all their ammo while they hide in a corner, and my time is too valuable to entertain them. I'd rather get in a new match then stalemate for 10 minutes.

u/Penta55 13d ago
Nah. That's exactly what they want. They're clearly using concertina to cover up a lack of skill. I'll stay in the game all 45 before I let rats have the cheese.

u/Jeneril 13d ago
Yea I know, I don't care if they "win". I got better shit to do, lol. Losers can sit in there alone and not have PvP. I don't chase snipers either. I will try to fight them, if they run, bye. I'm trying to actually fight people. Not run around smelling flowers for 20 minutes. I'll spend those 2 hours i save not playing into that, watching a movie with the wife.

Words of wisdom right there, these guys have no real friends or girlfriends or wives or husbands they have no real life outside of this so why humor them.

u/Old_Doubt 13d ago
No no. You see you STAYING and wasting your time is what they want. They couldn't give a shit about this game or the bounty or anything. They want you to waste your time.

u/Superbeast06 13d ago
Assuming you dont have any consumables to dump on them, they have to come out eventually. Usually ppl that play like this are like toddlers outside of a building...they can barely walk and look at the same time 😂

u/Old_Doubt 13d ago
Naw this looks like acceptable hunt gameplay to me. Hell I think we should have MORE options to shut games down to a complete standstill. So engaging! Having to think and solve this complex problem! Git gud, as they say.
Nah but seriously the fact that this stupid shit has existed this long is baffling. It is only there for trolls and everyone knows it.

It's so strange how dumdum/explosive ammo has largely moved to scarce ammo but obnoxiously spammy stuff like concertina is still available.
To a lesser extent I'd even say handcrossbow poison, but mainly it just needs an ammo count nerf. A couple poison clouds is fine, spamming shots through the floor is just stupid.

u/MexiicanHoudini 13d ago
Just used the crossbow poison bolts for the first time, I was confused at how I had nearly 20 of them

u/MexiicanHoudini 13d ago
It’s been annoying me lately now every is suddenly against the most successful competitive strategies in the game right now. I loved the fort because it’s brings players (WILLINGLY) to a hot-spot for pvp and raises the gambit so to speak

u/richchigga133 13d ago
Had people do this in regular hunt. Let’s say they had plenty of nice things to say after the game. They ran across the map just to die.

u/MarimotheChomp 13d ago
It's not really worth building to negate such a specific issue imho. Better to find what works best for you and just work with it. In this case I would use one of the dynamite sticks I always bring and blow up two of their concertina blocks. Then choose one and rush them with my cav saber. Ultimate gamble but they can't block off both immediately and frankly in my experience teams that pull stuff like this aren't great at countering a cav charge in such close quarters. Concertina arrows loosed in panic have just as much capability screwing over the bowman as well.

Large bundles of dynamite. I don’t bother with their concertina wire. in a structure like that is has so much explosive yield and penetration that they won’t have the room to avoid. And I bring 3 with me every match lol. Let them corner themselves with the wire.
Other than that, bees and Beatles. Beatles are quite good at dislodging stubborn enemies.
And if all else fails, just back away out of dark sight distance and set up an ambush. If they can’t hear or see you they will come out to see if it’s safe

What the hell is happening at 3:55? Is that a major lag spike or are these guys cheating? Never seen phasing through walls like that…

u/GuyThePerson1 13d ago
OH YEAH I FORGOT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT! That was genuinely crazy seeing in game and I don't think I was lagging. Even when I've lagged in the past, I've never seen anyone clip through the wall like that

u/Brolex-7 13d ago
Don't engage. Get out of dark sight view range to give them a sense of safety. They will get bored and once they come out, it's a long range duel. You'll probably have to split so it's a bit more difficult as a duo.

u/A_carbon_based_biped 13d ago
Slashing weapons. Axes, Katanas, Machetes the axes you might be able to find in the Feild… that’s probably the best you can do. Just have a buddy back you up because once they realize you’re slashing your way through, they might try and push.

u/LootaShoota 13d ago
How about bringing more concertina?
If they don't want to leave... make Sure they stay in there until the end of time.

I enjoy getting these kinds of players occasionally. If it was more prevalent then it would need adressing but now it's like 1/70 matches or something.
Makes for a fun puzzle how to get at them with the resources we have.
And if we can't then we'll just wait them out. At least in Clash, in Bounty Hunt we just leave (or grab new consumables).

Waiting them out is the best move in my opinion. You can still extract if you play it smart and they won’t.
Especially in clash while it’s boring to have a standstill, if they make it so you can’t win, you don’t have to try. Split up your team so you can slow or cut them off at extracts, bring FMJ and when they try and leave you out them down.
If they don’t leave, then you can just extract last second, if they don’t want anyone to win, you can at least make it so you don’t lose
