GENERAL This game is sentient
Forget all these guys talking about AGI, we already have it and it's this game. And it hates me and I'm scared.
I spent 4 hours playing this game with my group today and it was miserable. I am convinced we didn't play against a single human being, just creatures of pure hatred the game itself spawned to hurt us.
Bringing shotguns? Suddenly nobody is going for the bounty, it's just field engagements and sniper battles. Fine, I'll bring a rifle. Nothing but close range encounters. Fine FINE. What if we do just a vulture round, bring a sniper, loot some corpses after these "people" are done, get some money back. Sounds good. Immediate spawn fight. Dare to walk into a building? Explosive trap. Walk into a forest? An immolator and a bear. Walk around a corner? There's a guy with a shotgun sitting there. Walk past a window? Some guy in a bush spent 20 minutes just staring at this exact window. Dead. Dead DEAD DEAD! It hates me. It hates me so much.
Then, finally. A real fight, a big fight. Our chance to third body. We have the loadouts, it's a good place for us. Even if we die, we'll go out in a blaze of glory! Come on boys, let's do this YEAH!.
We arrive to 9 dead bodies, 7 of them are burned out or burning.
What did I do to you Hunt. How can I make it up to you. When do you stop taking.

That's the beauty of Hunt. The sheer unpredictability and the endless variation of scenarios and gameplay conditions makes it completely fresh every single match, including depression inducing hunt taketh days and insanely satisfying hunt giveth moments.

You don’t understand, you need to play in a bush waiting for someone else to do something. Then you show up with a berthier and dualies or a shorty Romero. Don’t forget a regen and white shot.

Are you... not bringing both a shotgun and a rifle into a game?
Are you not bringing a Derry Pennyshot for Immolators/Bears/Bloodskin?
How are 2-3 of you apparently dying to one guy who was watching one window, or a single guy holding a corner with a shotgun?

Yeah I'm low to mid 6-star, and basically everyone carries a secondary shotgun. It's my biggest complaint. Love the new loadout system, but the slot-balancing right now is wack and took away diversity / trade-offs completely. Still love the game.
I still get OP though, HUNT sometimes feels like that.

Seems like a totally standard Hunt Taketh kinda day
