What’s the most “Hell Yeah” thing your country has ever invented?

In 1882, James Alexander Williams of Texas patented his own unique design for a mouse/rat trap.

Instead of springs or levers, it used a .44 caliber pistol to shoot the troublesome rodent in the face.

When one takes a bounty and runs away, while his dead angry teammates swear at him in voice chat

Probably this guy is unaware that he is marked on a map.

Why the game is in Mixed on steam ? it's in the best state it's ever been

Been playing hunt since the first week of EA, and i think now it's in the best state content wise and overall like a game

why it's in mixed ?

I see people with 1000 hours leaving negative reviews, and it does not make sense to me

And then when the great game dies because no one buys it, they will be crying they lost the good game..

Prolonged drawing of the bow should consume stamina and lower the accuracy

From the Ashes

Hunters,

Devil's Trail is entering its final stage. Read more about the new changes below.

Returning Event Compounds

Two iconic Event Compounds are coming back into rotation: The Circus and The Bileweaver Nest. And it’s not just the rewards coming back, but the monsters as well!

Discover both locations by using the Scouting Map.

The compounds will rotate on the following schedule:

  • The Bileweavers Nest: May 13 to 27
  • The Circus Compound: May 27 to June 9

Hellborn on Most Time of Days

Hellborn has made himself at home in the bayou. You can still find him on all maps, and now also during all Time of Days (except for Thundershower, for obvious reasons).

Military Supply Points

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The scouts are a harbinger of something much bigger, and it’s on the way. Put the pieces together at this new Supply Point. There you can find a guaranteed scarce weapon and one Sealed Envelope.

The Sun and The Devil Tarot Cards can also be found here.

Beware the Shadow

Beware the Shadow is our first Legacy Chronicle, introducing re-colored versions of Mythic Hunters and Equipment Skins from the Light the Shadow Event. Add these iconic Hunters to your roster and discover what brought them back. You’ll also find new cosmetic content that continues the story, and gives you more means for self-expression.

Legacy Chronicles work a little differently than the Story Challenges you’re used to. Completing Challenges will award Sigils, a new currency that can then be freely spent on any rewards from your unlocked rewards pages. You can unlock more rewards pages by spending Sigils in a Legacy Chronicle.

We have many plans to bring back beloved content using this system, so watch this space!

Having some Visualization of the Round and what the other Teams did, would be great.

holy blatant cheats, that was....

really insane. how does crytek not have systems in place to immediately ban people like that. Damn. Also, guy waited like half a round to kill us. He managed to kill both my teammates with only one shot, and i died a second after. Insane, wow

Here are a few screenshots showing the effect of the exploit I mentioned in my previous post. Of course, I'm not showing how it was done. I shared the process and how it works with Crytek through Discord. I hope they can find a way to prevent it.

The screenshots are from games where I was either alone in Soul Survivor mode or with friends in Bounty Hunt mode, collecting pledge marks and farming. We avoided interacting with other players.

Please Crytek 🙏

If we have the drilling hatchet which is a 2 slot, then we could easily have this beast as a 3 slot.

Edit: ignore the lever that was just ai doing its best to make a lemat talon 🤣

6 Star MMR is hell

As title says.

Everygame I'm against 75% Russian/Chinese players on EU servers.

Looking at their Steam Profiles, I'm seeing 8k hours, I'm seeing the same groups, known hacking/cheat groups.
I'm constantly being killed after getting into cover.

Am I just malding or is this something I've just gotta get used to?

How I imagine "vanilla Hunt" after all these events

Good day Hunters!

We had a long session of events after each other with very little time in between. I really enjoy these events, but in my opinion, sometimes we should get a break. So here is how I imagine a Hunt "vanilla":

- Keep the scout towers, it's a great addition to the game, but... give us other clues: letters, notes, maps left on a desk (like a workbenches can have blueprints) which discovers one single POI on the map. Can be an extract, a supply point, wild target or "event compound" etc.

Remove at least 1 sniper from the tower, 1 is enough.

- Event compounds: we already have 3: Fool's hideout, Circus and Nest. In every match should spawn one, and only one randomly. And the map changes a bit depending on that. You see clowns walking around the map? You can be sure a Circus is there somewhere. Bileweavers? Yes, there is a nest. If none? Hideout.

- Keep the pledge system, but make it matter more: getting pledges can be done by looting hunters for the first time, banishing bosses/wildtargets or envelopes. And make the other, pledge-spending mechanics much more scarce: I can have a 4shot boon active half the match without any issue.

- Keep the tarot cards, but make them randomized a bit more: the burned convoy should have 1 chariot and 1 random card. The gamble-machine 1 magician and a random. Scout towers a pathfinder and a random. Currently the fixed spawns make the game predictable. You'll always find a solo on the burned convoy stocking on empress cards (if it's not snached before they got there). Make them more randomized, more scarce on fixed spawns, but give us back the random spawns (like the ruins between cpmpounds.

- make the firefigther-supply (with the flamerifle) a bit bigger "event themed" compound, and back to my 2nd point: the inferno "weather" should be a special "event" like the circus and bileweaver. In each event compound you can find a fixed scarce weapon (firefighter>flamerifle, circus > shredder, bileweaver > homestead, hideout > wildland. I know I'm promoting randomness in my other points and fixed in here, bit I think these weapons fit the theme perfectly without balance issues.

- bring back Ashbloom. I know it annoyed a lot of people, but the fake steps, sounds, things, the atmosphere.. oh, and the Serpent Moon. The green night was beautiful!

Maybe give us 1 more wildtarget or boss, and we are good to go for a long time without any content addition, and finally Crytek could focus on MMR rework, anticheat and ping abuse, etc.

All the pieces are already in the game, just please put it together

What do you think?

How to Noodle Arms with a ladder!

Essentially all you do is throw your spear in front of the ladder, sprint towards the ladder, spam F to pick up your spear (and hop onto the ladder), and BOOM, goofy noodle arms

As far as I know, I think you need a stamina shot/boon for it to work, I tried it a few times without a stamina boost, and I couldn't get it to work. Also, I'm not sure if you can use a pitchfork or other world items to trigger it!
