I'm in favor of every game giving female characters an incredibly minor advantage you'd never notice in-game, like an eighth of a second longer sprint, just to get the :biotruths: retards mad

If they don't adjust any of the multipliers then I will exclusively play female huntresses for the slight bonus of not having as much high value surface area.

If female hunters don't have as many models wearing doofy hats then I'll hire women over a male hunter everytime.

Part of the reason I hate so many of the lower cost hunters is because of their dumb hats and not their load outs or traits.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

there's actually no engine semantic that demands the hittable surface area and the shown surface area need be the same, so even if women are half as broad as men they could use the same hit skeleton and be hit in the 'arm' on what appears to be a clean miss. online hitboxes being what they are people would just blame lag or other quirkiness and basically say git gud.

Female characters will have both goofy hats and bustles added to their hit boxes and earn 3/4 the cash.

Why are you talking about hitboxes? I'm just talking about doofy hunters in dumb farmer hats getting shot because they stand out when they're up to their stupid heads in foliage.

Yeah, your settings seem abnormally dark. My game looks more like your buddy's.


For solo play, I've embraced cheap Winfield / Machete builds and have had pretty good results when pushing distracted duos at a boss.

A word of warning if you haven't already discovered this for yourself:

Tossing Dynamite into concertina or a destructible lantern will explode it instantly.
This can yield a very quick and surprising self-murder.
It will also count as a team kill if your buddy placed said concertina, for example.

I've also noticed that sometimes hitting a boss with an explosive (dynamite and frag bomb) will set them off instantly rather than waiting for the fuse.
Not sure if this is intended? It might make killing bosses with the bigger bundles more viable at least.

So me and my buddy just killed 6 hunters including 4 tier 3s (3 of them by me :smuggo: ) and the first 2 were using Iron Sharpshooter (keep looking down sights while using a bolt action) for the first time and :stare: https://streamable.com/6qo5g

After that we had an insane loving fight at the butcher that ended in double tragedy. Am uploading a 8 minute long video right now

I love the fights you can get in this game. My teammate got knocked down, and I got knocked down to 1 bar from a Sparks shot. I had less than a full Winny of ammo remaining, no consumables. Ran like a bitch, evading fire, made it into a barn and grabbed up some health.

But I found no ammo.

I only had six shots, a machete, and three throwing knives.

Thought for a while about what to do, waiting, listening. Then I saw a fatboy that I had LOS on from the loft. I took out a throwing knife, then flicked it at him, making him wig out and stomp all over.

Minutes passed. I did it again.

They must have thought I was on the other side of the compound, because Mr Sparks came up to grab the clue. I ran at him, he turned just in time to fire and hit me once- not enough. Killed him, ran back down into the barn for a lantern, threw it on him and left, searching for more health. Found it.

Came back around and found his partner near mine, waiting for me by a cart. Tagged him first, twice- then started shooting at the right side of the cart as I approached. The shots hid the sound of my footsteps, and he was healing when I came around the other side with my machete.

Got my partner up. He was pretty stoked about watching the fight.

No teammate left behind. :unsmith:

Sometimes this game throws you three rounds where you get wasted and frustrated to the point where you stop playing. Then you rampage through three rounds solo and rack up money no problem.

The cure to frustration is playing chain pistol swat team. My 80 dollar cowboy vs your 700 dollar loadout. I have nothing* to lose.

Also bee jars. Always bee jars. They are my favourite thing. The word of our lord and savior Beesus must be spread.

It's pretty fun to run around hitting every noise trigger you can, every now and then. It totally fucks with everyone in the general area, and if you're really fast, you can make it seem like multiple teams are hauling rear end through a wide area.

If you're also throwing chaos bombs everywhere nobody's going to know what's going on and they'll probably just hide for a little while because people are oddly reluctant to fight.

decided to pick up the game after reading a lot of the thread even though its early access. Thank you goons, it does not disappoint.

Got my rear end kicked the first 3 rounds by npcs cause I was trying to learn the game and poo poo. Decided to do duo instead of solo and won the first game. This game is on another level and its crazy how tense a match can get. Since duoing, I've had 3 instances where my partner was downed immediately and I had to kill the other 2 hunters before picking them up again. Each time I did this, we were able to go home with a bounty :clint:

My question is, are there only two different bounties atm? Are they planning on adding more or changing the way bounty hunting works? I ask cause it seems like it will get monotonous hunting the same 2 creatures in the same basic layout every time. Obviously, the draw is hunting other players who are hunting bounties, but more variety would be very welcome.

Yup, currently there's only the two but they plan to add more of them at some point in the future.
