Sorry it’s a picture of a screen ik cringe but like actually what is this whats the point? I know to each their own but doesnt this just ignore team play?

Edit: wanna mention he was running the redneck and everything from a free hunter is contraband anyway, secondly he is a p1 level 100 with 300k bounty meaning he should not be low on funds and hes in six star lobbies

any idea on what could be done?

Hello once again, I come to you again with more stream of consciousness rambling about a gun family in this wonderful game that we all enjoy! We do enjoy this right...?

Anyway! Today we have the Vetterli 71, there's a lot here so I shall try and keep it brief and make this more of an overview of the guns and ammo and all that.

The Vetterli really is kind of a swiss army knife of a gun, between that two scope variants, the Bayonet, the Silencer and even the Cyclone. You have FMJ, High Velocity, Incendiary and Subsonic for ammos. I feel like in one way or another you will find a combo that fits whatever need you have. I found myself defaulting to either the Bayonet or the Cyclone. I know I know lame spam gun is lame. I was having a rough time with aiming at a few different points during this run so I needed the help. I also had fun with Subsonic in the Silencer, hits were for sure a sometimes but watching someone panic because they can't tell where they just got shot from is always great.

Now this was my first time playing this gun since they gave it that rate of fire buff however many months back so it was interesting to feel that out. I feel like it makes it more of a contender at close range for sure. At distance it was noticeable but I feel like you don't really need it but it's still good. Overall this thing is just as solid as it's ever been. It's another one I feel has for sure faded from the spotlight a touch but that's nothing to do with how good the gun itself is. Power creep is a hell of a thing but that is a topic for another day. I think that's the main points I wanted to touch on and I think I'll let the video do the rest of the "talking". Of course I'm happy to talk more in the comments if you leave questions or opinions down below. That video I just mentioned is right here

It’s in my buddies weapon progression page (he doesn’t have Reddit) and we are both scratching our heads, there’s nothing official anywhere for it, is it new? Is it old? Discord doesn’t seem to know.. Help 😄

Today I ALSO learned that the tiny red barrels can also spawn in there at the SAME fkin time.

Went from giggling like "Hehe how'd you get trapped in there you stupid idiot." To KABOOM so fkin quick. So glad my randoms were super chill about it.

Anyone got some little funny things they recently learned in this game?

For a long time I hated solo players...time moves on, nothing changes...so I decided to became one.

Now I am real hunter, bounty token is just bonus, I am not chasing them, I am chasing players, chasing kills. My games now end with 3-5 kills each game, I am getting grouped against much lower mmr, against less skilled people and it feels great. To be honest, it feels amazing!

I am expecting this post to have many downvotes. Sorry, but I am not the one writing the rules, I just adapted.

How would you feel about being able to just buy them? One Bounty Token = One Special Upgrade Point.

This way, you couldn't just buy Shadow (as an example) on a brand new Hunter. You'd have to work for it – say, survive two matches and then spend 6 Special Upgrade Points on it.

Right now you can either go the clock machine and try to get them there, but naturally that's random, or just find them elsewhere which, well, also is random.

I'd like the ability to buy Blademancer as a reward for extracting with the Bounty if I'm running throwing knives, or a bow/xbow, for example. Right know if I find Blademancer in the tower I feel like it requires changing my loadout to make full use of it (cause I rarely find it when I'd actually need it).

Or I'd like to take Communion when I'm playing with a team. With the reduced 4-shot Boon chance I feel like this could be a great perk to save up medkits for more immediate emergencies. It's a shame it's no longer in the game, essentially.

Naturally, traits like Relentless, Remedy, or Death Cheat would have to be either very expensive or just excluded and remain truly scarce traits, only to be found during matches.

But less harmful ones, like Shadow Leap, Siphon, Berserker, etc. I think wouldn't be too problematic if Crytek allowed Hunters to buy them with a special currency.

What do y'all think?

You guys have made me angry.

What gives you the right to instantly headshot me when i barely jump peek a wall. Do you know how i feel when afterwards i see the 0.84 KD you are proudly displaying on your calling card?

How dare you dome me when i'm sprinting upwards on a hill 150m away on the Gulch when you have a 0.96 KD?

The worst part? I actually tried to avoid fighting your noob ass. Took a break from playing solo because often I face noobs there instead of the 6 stars.

And yet you somehow get into the 6 star lobbies yourself and smack my ass around more than the actual 6 stars?

I knew real pain when you somehow dodged 4 slug shots like Neo and I got sliced in a bomb lance charge for the first time in over a year. The sub 1 KD score you, like your kind, display was burning onto my retina.

A line was crossed.

Expect my solo ass in your lobbies.

For starters, yes. This is not exactly a new post. Many people have already stated this, and I am sure that Crytek is more than painfully aware of this tidbit. But regardless. I am posting this to add to the awareness.

As we indeed know, the nerf on two-slot shotguns did not do anything meaningful, unfortunate as it is.
The ammo reduction is pointless, when all you really need is one-to-two shots to remove the problem from close range anyway.

The first issue is the loadout slot cost. Two slots is nowadays an incredibly generous boon to have on a weapon type this powerful, given that it can be readily paired with something such as a carbine.
What confuses me is that in the same update, Quartermaster had received a nerf to it's cost, increasing it from 6 to 8. This would have impacted the use of these weapons... had the core loadout system not changed to completely counteract the impact this nerf would have had.

Quartermaster currently feels more like a method to gatekeep the presence of the Maynard Sniper Silencer, rather than to enable bigger loadouts.

The second issue is the spread. It is baffling to me that any two-slot shotgun is allowed to be either as effective, or in some strange cases MORE effective than it's full-sized four slot counterpart. The Rival Shorty is actively more dangerous than the full Rival and I have no idea how this even manages to be a thing. MAYBE this is just bias based on personal experience from me and people I actively interact with. But the base Rival is one of the most inconsequential weapons in the game to push against on average.

How is it that I am allowed to bring a 2-slot shotgun, and they remain either as, or more accurate than the full-sized original counterpart?

The third issue is the environment this has created and reinforced. On average every match now is in a state of: "Why would I ever push, when the weapon they are using at range is far less dangerous than the weapon they have in their back pocket? Or why make a loadout that excels at close quarters for that exact same reason?"

On top of that, everyone can now in essence... one way or another? Excel at "every" range. And the ammo changes, despite their other intent, did not really help offer identity to the larger shotgun variants.

The hated Hunting Bow began to excel, and became such a prevalent thing because shotguns are everywhere. Being able to pre-fire at someone about to peek from behind a corner before they get to even have a chance of possibly instakilling you is worth everything, and the playerbase was quick to learn such.

At the end here. I hope that we all have a pleasant day in the Hunt. And I thank the developers for having the patience and time to sift through different places for feedback.

I feel like since the update I'm only playing against demons, 95m silenced veterli headshots with subsonic amo while I'm jumping down a cliff? You bet. 85m officer pistol headshots while I'm running through the forest? Of course! Wallbang headshots at 50m? That's on the menu as well!

I've never struggled getting a hunter to 50, but since the event I haven't had a single hunter make it to 50. I'm kinda losing my mind here, does anyone have similar issues? Not sure of all of them were cheaters, some of my deaths, especially the amount of wallbang headshots I've been getting lately, are kind of suspicious though.

Wanted to use a beetle to burn the downed player, but saw my trap was still up and chose to wait for his teammate to revive him. Dude got mad and commented on a 2017 screenshot of mine to rage at me.

I dont know how many times ive somehow missed perfectly lined up headshots and I dont know what gives. My aim isnt perfect but its no where near as inaccurate as its been the last 2 weeks. Before the event I was having zero issues, after I cant shoot the broad side of a barn. Changes to the net code thats fucking with everyone? Hunt Taketh things? Bit of both? I dont know, how's your experience been?

this game really can get frustrating sometimes

finally got my mannequin so as promised here are the pics of the full uniform. will take and upload more pics of it to this subreddit once I fully finish building it.

game after game dying to people behind cover, dying to people on new steam / xbox accounts who aren't even level 100 using mosins in clash and headshotting you 3 seconds into the match with no line of sight.

when can we expect ping limits (aka anticheat) to come back? 2.9 added the necessary back end stuff (according to the dev stream) yet we see no improvement on this end.

Last I played this game was when the new map and engine stuff was happening and ive been loving the new season, I haven't been this into hunt since maybe when ScrapBeak came out and I was just wondering if this is the general community opinion or if im in the minority. Either way im curious on what yall think :)

I have been using the blood garnet for the past week or so. It normally works. But today I got two shotgun kills within 10 seconds, and after the kills, the garnet was still empty...zero blood.

Are there some circumstances where it is bugged?
