The guns generally fire so slowly and people dance around so loving fast, that trying to shoot someone is often impossible for me, but sooner or later that blade is gonna make contact.

I now own this.


I'll go 5 or 6 games in a row getting killed either by a guy I never knew was there until I saw the muzzleflash or getting murdered in a firefight because the low level guns are so slow, and then I'll go a game where I kill 3 guys and I dont even care about the loses and I can't stop playing oh god help

A few times after someone has killed me they've ended up dead thanks to rending bleed out from a shotgun blast I clipped them with before they took me out.

I've dubbed it the "Junkrat Effect"

My buddy and I were in a firefight with another 2 man team and all 4 of us died because of this.

The only major beefs I have with the game that aren't related to performance are that throwables are still way too stealthy for AoE one-shots that just come out of nowhere

could be worse https://streamable.com/ltlrx

These are the spawn points by the by. If anyone is getting routinely smoked a few seconds into the match, you need to start learning these areas and either assaulting them yourself or at least checking for the enemy hunters.

I don't think I've ever been killed outside of a compound/farm

Had a string of games yesterday where I got owned, sometimes through bad luck, sometimes through my own dumb fault.

In the second to last, I was downed and insta-burned after downing and burning someone else. My partner couldn't get to me in time, and I died. Oh well.

Just out of curiosity, I stuck around to see who won- and then the enemy Hunter started talking to him. They had a little back and forth, "Oh, I didn't burn your buddy. Why'd you have to burn mine?"

"Hey man, go burn him, I don't give a poo poo."

After a few minutes of this, the enemy suggested he just take the downed bounty and leave, asking if he was going to go after the boss being banished just to the north. He said he was. The enemy Hunter floated the idea of a partnership, and my partner accepted. Cautiously, they both came out of cover, then hashed out a quick plan to attack the Healing Waters Church.

Literally the second the enemy Hunter turned around to run, he shot him in the back from five feet away with a Spectre. :allears:

Yeah half the thrill of playing is when you kill a guy and then you can't figure out if he was playing solo or if his buddy is out there in the trees watching you the whole time, waiting for you to loot the body before taking a headshot.

edit: What happens if the time runs out on a round?

you get nothing and your hunter is considered lost

I was in discord with my 2 buddies today and listened as they got to the extraction wagon with 15 seconds left.......and when the time ran out and they still had 5 seconds left on the extraction countdown they lost everything.

2) On the more subtle side of things: what about respawning into a new game from death? Is it fairly quick and painless to get back to playing after dying or are there long load times/matchmaking and prep work each time, adding insult to injury?

It is not quick. The loading/matchmaking process is usually like 5 minutes for me.

Having a cheap Tier 1 loadout gives you the passive benefit of the: "Don't care, lol" factor which makes you very aggressive and deadly.

can confirm that I have way more fun with a cheap-rear end hunter. As soon as I level a guy up and/or give him better guns I get super anxious and claim I'll play more cautiously and then end up getting one-shotted by a guy I never saw.


I've come to terms with the fact that making a lot of noise will get you killed but being stationary will also get you killed. Don't run around scaring birds obviously, but if you stand still for even a second you'll get a bullet in the brain. Witness me trying to line up a shot on a guy who has no idea I'm there but dancing around: I never get hits.

When people are talking in voice chat and it's clear they're matchmade strangers I'll do my best to imitate one of them and say "Stand still for a sec and listen" and then I'll shoot one of them in the head before they realize it's not their partner talking. That's worked more than it should.

Post warning, incredibly loud obnoxious ear shattering scream at the end which makes the whole video annoying and not worth it.

Shadowplay is a piece of poo poo and constantly resets the microphone record slider to 100% so I manually lowered the audio in certain places of the video to like 25% :shrug:

I've never once seen or heard an auto mosin (or a Nitro for that matter) and I've only ever gone up against a guy with an auto-5 once or twice. I'm level 50-something and have 42 hours into the game, for what that's worth.

The overwhelming majority of my deaths that werent at very close range (melee, shotgun etc.) were from Veterli or Mosin rifles.

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.

there are no brightness settings though

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
