It refills any tool.

code:
Consumables received from the Item boxes are usually of an offensive nature, like Flash Bomb, Dynamite or Hive Bomb, but does not include items like Concertina Bomb or Poison Bomb
If they wrote this in the patch notes and still refill things like trip alerts then they really hosed up.

That's a separate thing. The box can refill items you brought, and additionally can give you a free consumable if you have an open slot for one.

I'm liking the new update. I like the whispers (in dark sight) mechanic but not sure how I feel about the weird sound effect you get when you or someone else enters the boss compound. I love running in when 2 teams are already fighting and now theres a giant warning alarm that someone else has joined but I guess I'll get used to it.

The Martini is really nice. It has marginally less damage and range than the Sparks but has noticably faster reloading and way better sights. Havent used any variants yet.

Springfield IMO is the no brainer first choice rifle to use for new players or if you want to spend less than the Veterli (I forget what that is, $70, $80?) since the winfield sucks balls now.

Not a fan of the Springfield Marksman however since the damage drop off of medium ammo sort of negates any advantage of the larger zoom.

Wait how does the whisper mechanic let someone know you've joined the fight? If they're already fighting and the whispers are already red, you can't set the whispers to high alert again...

it makes a short sound effect (not in dark sight) when someone else gets within range of the boss (40 and 80 m?)


I havent played enough to know if it only does it the first time or every time (so if 2 teams are in a compound, does it make the tone when a 3rd enters?)

So when you enter the 80m radius, regardless of how many other people are or aren't within the 80m radius, you will always hear the whispers (and see the pulse in the top left).

However if there is anyone, even just one person or every other person on the server within the 40m radius, when you enter the 80m you will hear the aggressive whispers at 80m and see the icon pulse red when entering the radius.

If NO ONE is within the 40m radius when you walk into the 80m radius you will only hear the quiet whispers, and as you cross the 40m radius YOU WILL hear the aggressive whispers begin as you are now the person entering the radius.

The states are:

You enter within 80m radius and hear normal whispers: All you know is there is no one within 40m of the boss. You do not know if anyone is between the 80m and 40m radius however.

You enter within the 80m radius and hear aggressive whispers: You know there is at least ONE person within 40m of the boss. You do not know exactly how many, nor do you know if anyone is within the 40-80m radius.

You are not moving within the 80m radius and you being to HEAR aggressive whispering: Someone who was within the 80-40m radius just entered the 40m radius. You know for CERTAIN one person is now within 40m but you still have no idea how many, and how many are within the 40-80m radius.

You are not moving within the 80m radius and you stop hearing aggressive whispers: Everyone who was in the 40m radius either left the radius or died. All you know is NO ONE is within the 40m radius but not how many people are within the 40-80m radius.

You are within the 80m radius and as you enter the 40m radius you hear aggressive whispering: You know at THIS VERY MOMENT you and your team are alone in the 40m radius. HOWEVER you will never know when somoene else enters the 40m radius since you already triggered the aggressive whispering.

It's way too convoluted of a system. In my opinion, there shouldn't be new boss sounds except when you and other enemy players are within the same region of the boss (whatever distance that should be), and only within dark sight.

So why's this game a mix of real guns and fake ones? I don't mean the weird west weapons, like the bomb lance and concertinas, I'm talking about the fact that you've got stuff like the Springfield on the one hand and the Winfield on the other.

Oh whoops I misread, yeah that's weird. I wonder if the devs bothered to get permission to use the Springfield name :v:

I was confused why the Springfield retained its name as well but it turns out the modern Springfield company has nothing to do with the one in Hunt-- they stole the name to try and piggyback off the legacy of the old Springfield guns. With that in mind every gun to retain its real name in Hunt is from a defunct state-owned manufacturer.

I'm sure it just has something to do with not wanting to pay rights. Like why does it even matter if the name is slightly different?

It doesn't matter :shrug: Everybody knows it has to do with not paying for the rights to gun names, the Springfield was just out of place for that exact reason.

The Springfield, Martini-Henri, Lebel, Mosin-Nagant, Nagant and Veterli were made by state arsenals so there is no "trademark" or whatever.

The Lemat was made by a private company but designed by a man named Lemat.

The Dolch (Mauser C96), Spectre (Spencer) and Bornheim (Bergmann) are fake names for gun companies that haven't existed in 80 years or more.

Winchester (Winfield) and Colt (Caldwell) are the only names that you would need to get permission to use the name.

There is no rhyme or reason for how they named the guns.

I've had pretty good success in quickplay (winning about 1 in 3 matches with around 30 played) by spawning with a melee weapon and just rushing for 4 rifts as fast as possible. Being the first person to activate the wellspring gives you a big advantage: you get all your health back, you have 4 traits to everyone else's 3 max, and you almost always have time to hole up in a building, set traps, etc., while the other people on the map fight each other outside.

It's kind of scummy but if you have something like a concertina bomb and climb up a tower, you can pitch it just below you so that anyone trying to climb up has to deal with that. It means that people have to have an explosive to quickly deal with it, and when the wellspring is counting down, time is of the essence.

Underdog Bonus Changes

- As solo: +250 against duos, +500 against trios

Aperture Sight Improvements:

- Now a flip sight. Press the Fire Mode button to toggle it. Does not include the Nitro, only applies to weapons with "Aperture" in the name.
