Hunt Showdown is peak?

Hunt Showdown is peak /k/ino vidya, and here's why:
>wide selection of period-correct firearms, each with their own unique feels and advantages. the muzzle velocity, cartridge, rate of fire, and action of each gun has very real consequences in gameplay. guns are absolutely not interchangeable with each other like in most other games
>noticeable differences between black and smokeless powder guns (mosin, berthier and lebel have significantly higher velocity and damage than other guns in the game)
>different ammo types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses (you can pick HV rounds for a faster muzzle velocity or FMJ for better penetration)
>good graphics and atmospheric environments
>The best loadout system I have ever seen in a video game
>satisfying gameplay loop that rewards skill and smart risk-taking
>fricking cowboy guns

          Maybe so, but every gun is viable due to the one-shot headshot. Plus, your choice in gun doesn't matter as much as how good you are with it. Preference can and will beat out stats.

            I've played a lot of PvP FPS games and have been playing Hunt with the top 5% players (by elo, in-game rating) and they're using some of the cheapest guns like the Romero cause it's comfy and like [...] said, headshot is deadshot.

            Sounds like none of you would have a problem with Hunt being the L4D clone it was originally meant to be.

          I fricking love Hunt, have over 500 hours in it and play with a friend who has 2k hours. I wish there was like a STALKER version of Hunt, basically the Hunt setting and weapons and world, but with STALKER's gameplay loop.

          You can play the game with almost every weapon. There's maybe a handful I would say are just objectively outclassed by other guns, but that would be a small list that gets smaller every patch (I've been enjoying Centennial recently now that they buffed it).

          Is it fun? I don’t care about PvP or battle royale shit and heard it is co-op

          You can't really avoid PvP. The enemy monsters are a part of the game but not really the focus like in something like Killing Floor or Left 4 Dead. The game is always PvP as well, there is no option for just you/friends versus AI only.
          If that isn't your cup of tea then you may want to reconsider.

          Ive played hunt constantly for almost 2 years and despite whatever meta currently is, pretty much every weapon has always viable within its category/range with very few exceptions. The only time there’s even seemed to be a lack of variety is when a new weapon releases and everyone wants to try it for the first 3 weeks

            Yeah its pretty diverse right now. People doing levering builds, shotgunners, snipers, crossbows/bows, etc. Things that started to become too strong (slugs) got nerfed and are now in a more fair place.
            Only thing I think really needs a look is probably some of the older weapon concepts like sabers, as well as stuff like decoys that are essentially a dead equipment slot - a holdover from when the game would have a more player versus AI focus.

              Decoys work fine. If you use the ones that sound like gunshots, they can absolutely cause enemy teams to panic and open themselves up to being shot in the back by you. I do it all the time. Sparks LRR suppressed, decoy bag, and I will basically just lob the decoys past where I know the enemies are so they get antsy and run out to shoot at enemies that aren't there.

                Its just that they're so little for what you get. The biggest issue, in my eyes, is that knives and healthkits take up equipment slots. Literally nobody is dropping without at least a healthkit. I drop without knives sometimes, if I'm using a bayonet or dusters, at least.
                The traps just go so far from denying access to areas when you're banishing, to trapping up an extract you expect the bounty holders to use.
                In my eyes, your equipment slots at usually a melee weapon, a healthkit, and then you have two choices, which leaves traps, chokes, and other shit (like fusees, decoy fuses, decoys).
                For me, the traps or chokes (I rarely use chokes anymore since they added red skull pickups) are just far too much value added to forgo them. Concertina trips and poison trips are an effective instant kill, and if you aren't interesting in two slots for that you can just do concertinas and chokes.
                I'm not against the idea of decoys, I'm just forced into playing the meta aspect of how effective my equipment slots are, since I really only get two due to how they designed melee weapons and health kits. If they had health kits be their own slot (that only took health kits) then I might be inclined to take the more miscellaneous equipments. Fusees are nice for setting heavies on fire, for instance.

                Chokes are good for area denial if you're wanting to keep b***hes out of an area for five minutes, such as when you have windows behind you that you don't want randos crawling through as you're aimed elsewhere. With the added benefit if they're aggressive enough to push through the fog, they're going to give their position away and also their aim will be off. You just have to use them tactically, they're always worth having. The only things that are totally useless are poison traps, or maybe throwing knives which have a two-foot range. In general, aside from knife and healthkit, utility slots are whatever.

                >Don't miss and every gun is viable.
                Literally every game ever.

                Every gun is viable in that if you hit a headshot, they die no matter what. There's no powering through that shit like gay Apex or whatever

                I use concertina bombs for that personally, since they double as body coverage. Poison bombs can work for that too but they aren't as permanent as concertina is. I should note that my friend and I primarily play sniping builds, so our loadouts are configured for anti-push (concertina and poison traps) and body holding (concertina bombs).
                > The only things that are totally useless are poison traps
                No, poison traps are useless by themselves, but when combined with concertina traps they are instant kill traps, because the poison cloud itself deals damage if they stand in it. They jump a window, pop both traps, get bled and slowed, start dying to poison, and they will die in about 1.5-2 seconds, faster if you also had a bear trap down. Bonus is once they die their body usually has a little extra concertina around it to make it harder to revive them.
                Throwing knives are pretty bad, though. They really don't have a good argument, because the build who would want to use them to take out dog kennels, chicken coops, etc will have a silenced weapon anyways.

      I've sunk countless hours into the game and have a 2.02 kdr and I play at the highest elo with the hackers, so I can't say it sucks. But it's still not very /k/, and every update that they release, they try to normiefy it.

      >wide selection of FICTICIOUS versions of period correct firearms
      >zero bullet drop
      >Mosin ammo fits in uppercut aka Colt Walker revolver

      It was ALWAYS PVP since it was released, why are you talking about a game you've never played before? Why lie? For what purpose?

      Too bad crytek spends more time on lukewarm events and pumping out skins than fixing the same technical issues that have plagued it for 3 years

      The biggest issue is the hit detection, and second to that is the fact that for a "Period correct" game like OP states, white males make up the minority in the sea of black muslim/chinese women running around in Cowboy Era America. They're even releasing colorful zoomer pink/neon haired models. And the game is now being filled with Zionist symbolism, not even hiding it anymore. And all it took is one look at the dev team and it made perfect sense, half of it is being coordinated by a israeli woman and two basedboys. The game started out in a good direction, and it's slowly turning into Call Of Duty with cowboy guns. Still, it's a decent game and I recommend it ONLY when it's super cheap on a massive sale.

        I'm so fricking sick of seeing them man. Easy Anticheat is total trash and I cannot tell you how many times I get killed in extremely suspicious or impossible ways only to check their account and see a fricking VAC ban, not to mention an account with 0 other games besides Hunt (meaning they made an account, got a Hunt key, and then started cheating).
        We realized we saw them the worst the later into the night/morning we played. Playing past 1am CST is basically guaranteed cheat city.
        It SEEMS to have lessened lately, and maybe they've done some stuff in the background to help curb it, but god damn was it bad for a bit.

              The worst part is how Capcom insists on trying to make these other asymmetric pvp RE games that genuinely no one wants (even if I'm glad they acknowledged Alex exists) instead of just making an asset flip Outbreak out of the two remakes.

                I never got the chance to play outbreak when they came out and it seems like the most interesting opportunity for them at this point. I’m hoping that if 4 remake goes well, they finally just take the time to make a real spiritual successor to it since a lot of the groundwork would already be there.

                According to the Capcom leaks they've got a new Outbreak planned. If not the games are solid enough that there are fan servers up but you'd have to go about accessing them yourself.

                The leaks are not definitive, they're codenames which companies still do for some reason. For instance the most recent Dead Rising was "Climber" for reasons that I cannot imagine. While I can't guarantee that the most recent Capcom leaks involve RE I can certainly ask that you keep Felicia in your THOTs & prayers.

                Software 'code names' are more appropriately just internal names. They are used because it isn't that uncommon to have the name of a product change multiple times before release. They can also be much simpler, which allows their direct use in code. Secrecy around the release name / marketing is a (distant) secondary consideration.

            Not him but harkening back to my first post, I'd love to see Hunt in a single player STALKER format, running around the bayou doing missions for NPCs, looting stuff, and going into super dangerous monster hideouts. Especially if they leaned into the weird otherwordly voodoo-tier paranormal aspect.

              Tarkov is very playable solo if you take things slower and dont rush the high loot areas/run towards gunshots.and just play things slower and stick around the outskirts till later in the raid. If you're some kind of head clicker FPS god you can go dominate the hotspots solo, being alone is an advantage in a few ways (any sound you hear is an enemy means you probably know they are there before they know you are there, no hesitation out of fear of shooting a teammate) but for most people you're better off slow rolling it solo

              Ehhh there's a good amount of very zoomer elements right now. Peaker's advantage means you are better off running full blast around corners prefiring because you'll kill someone before they even see you if it's a right hand corner, the whole "jump when crossing a hallway" meta is pretty zoomer too. Also the way recoil works (shots 1-4 kick a FRICKTON and then it settles down into controllable) makes full auto blasting far better than tapfiring or semi, kinda flies in the face of the whole "tactical shooter" element. I'd enjoy the gunplay a lot more if it rewarded taking things slow and using the REALLY GOOD movement/stance system in the game rather than the best play being strafing around a corner blasting

Sometimes I miss scav runs, then I remember the fun runs where you get a chance to kill players happens once every like 30 runs

      Tarkov's weapon system does not justify the absolute misery that comes from seemingly playing that game.

    I'd be lying if I said Hunt wasn't the straw that broke me to buy a cowboy gun, well a modern reproduction of one.

    Okay it looks really cool and I hope I can play as a Confederate veteran killing monsters and Black folk, but what I really want to know is whether there is any asiatic spyware in it.

      >is whether there is any asiatic spyware in it.
      No, the only thing it uses is easy anticheat.

        Apparently that's asiatic spyware too. Fortunately, my ITgay friend seems to have found a way to remove it - at least for the Halo Master Chief Collection - as follows:

        >You can find all of EasyAntiCheat (at least what I've been able to find) in the following locations:

        >The .exe is located in [your drive]SteamLibrarysteamappscommonHalo The Master Chief CollectionEasyAntiCheat
        You can navigate to this folder directly by choosing "browse local files" in the steam library entry for the game.
        Delete the whole folder. Don't forget to delete it from recycle bin.

        >Check the following locations for additional EAC entries, as many multiplayer games on steam include this garbage:
        C:WindowsSysWOW64EasyAntiCheat.exe
        C:WindowsSystem32driversEasyAntiCheat.sys
        If present, delete these too.

        >Finally, open the registry editor, which can be accessed by opening your start menu and typing "regedit" followed by hitting enter.
        Navigate to the following paths:
        ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432Node
        Delete the key: EasyAntiCheat and all subkeys
        ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001Services
        Delete the key: EasyAntiCheat and all subkeys

        >Make sure that the next time you run MCC that you click the radial for "Play Halo: MCC Anti-Cheat Disabled".

        >Note: I don't know if this will interfere with or prevent you from playing public multiplayer, but it shouldn't give you trouble with running the game or playing with friends like we do.

        >Also, make sure to double-check these locations if MCC updates on you, to make sure steam isn't reinstalling the shit

    I like this game purely because it's the only game I know of that has the Vetterli. I've never played it.

    How do queues work.
    2 friends and me get in game and we seem to be up against both solo and duo players.
    As I understand the handicap is that there are only 2 bounties unless we go for two bosses
