I really like what you're doing with the little cropped and animated images of the map. Used to convey where you plan on going and why, and also to explain how the map greys out for those who didn't know. Visual aids are awesome, thanks for another helpful guide.
I still don't understand it very well. I thought that, when you find a clue, the compound you're at greys out for everyone to see. Yet at the very beginning when you find the clue at lumber it does not and you get it crossed instead. Still trying to figure it out completely.
@@NekoinValhalla The map greys out for you when you find a clue. No matter which clue you take i.e. whichever compound you take it from the map will change the same for everyone who has discoverd the same number of clues. The cross on C&A Lumber in Mike's video shows because he discovered the clue here and the boss is not here.
@@NekoinValhalla Here’s an example. Picking up clue (1) greys out; Arden Parish, C&A Lumber, and Prison. These compounds are greyed out on every player’s first clue, regardless of where you grab your first clue. So if your first clue is C&A Lumber, it will grey out on the map while you’re there. But if you grab a clue at Salter’s Pork, Salter’s pork won’t grey out while you’re there. You’ll still get a white X to note that you’ve picked up a clue there
Thank you so much everyone for the clarifications. I get it now that the map greys out randomly for everyone at the same clue stage and the cross appears for you because you found the clue at a compound that wasn't to be greyed out for everyone so only you has this info. So when Mike opened the map and said "We know people spawned at Hemlock" at 5:26 was it because he heard gunshots from there earlier of did the map give him that info somehow ?
I also like experimenting a lot, but why not take a Winfield Vandal maybe with Levering instead of the Shotgun? Can sort of give you the answer too better at longer ranges but no Oneshot potential up close except for Headshot. Any other ideas anyone :)
@@TheSpacemarine1980 I'm gonna say this for my taste ; I think the cut-down / sawn-off weapons are already a bit hard to control to aim with, without the needed perks such as steady hands, you could miss a lot. At least I do. Flechette rounds are a bit RNG. But at least it requires less aiming to do. Maybe carrying one gun that doesn't really sway but RNG (shotgun) and one gun that sways but is not RNG (mosin obrez) is better than two guns that sways but aren't RNG.
I really love how in your video guides, you never give advice like "Always do x". You explain your thought process and leave it for us to apply it to our own games. Thanks for the guide!
he has such odd aim.. I just bought Hunt like 3 or 4 days ago and I've only died once (not saying I'm good or anything I'm definitely not I'm still learning the game) but from watching a few of his videos it seems like sometimes he misses the easy shots but consistently NAILS the hard shots or the unexpected shots, it's strange haha like when he was on roof and downed the first guy that climbed to him, the last guy hiding behind the train car he missed 4 shots while he was standing still THEN FLICKED HIS FACE OFF while he was running LOL
@@colbythibodeau1081 Its because you tend to expect your enemies to move/dodge in some way. I have this issue too when I'm playing against not so experienced players, they tend not do sidestep your shots and therefore I actually tend to miss more shots on newer players than on really good ones, cause the good ones tend to walk in my bullet. He's trying to predict this movement but his enemy literally stood still (which is uncommon at this level of play but maybe he just got mad that a solo fucks them up)
@@colbythibodeau1081 Yeah, same dude. I always expect them to "walk with me", since I'm sidestepping their shots too. When they just don't walk at all I miss my shot and they hit theirs lol
I waited 2 months for this second solo guide! Please don't stop doing the Intro/Loadout/Traits. I'm betting a lot of people skip it which might make you think the videos are better without them, but it's so good to have. Excellent work again.
The most hilarious thing happened when i tried this loadout today: I went up against a trio who just banished the boss, and one of their team just LEGGED it the hell out of there, ran across the whole map to extract. He just ditched his team mates, and ran. They were fighting me, and by the time i killed two of them, i was like "where is the third?" I didn't even notice until i checked my map and he was half way across the damn map with bounty in hand. I laughed my ass off I had to stop playing i couldn't stop laughing!
I actually enjoy playing solo because i feel like less of a scumbag when I do rat stuff, 3rd party, and instaburn. Videos like these still help me with my decision-making though. I also feel like I need to get a lot better as an individual before joining up with anyone.
@@john-marccartagenas6706 This I can get behind, but don't get too caught in the mentality of "I need to be better so I don't embarrass myself infront of others". Most randoms I've played with are just as or more inexperienced than I.
I just got 3 friends into the game as a fairly old player, just wanted to say I always recommend you and Rachta Z for my friends just getting the game. Thanks for making this game a little more understandable for us smooth brain bois 👍🏽
Loving the content Psychoghost. Been binging all your videos. I also like that you respect all playstyles, and a quote of yours has stuck with me: "nobody owes you any playstyle." And yeah, I'm a fully 100% solo player. It's brutal out there, man. Thanks for supporting this minority of the playerbase with focused solo guides.
I love flechete with the Rival Hand Cannon. I like to pair it up with the Riposte because people hear it and think "oh, single shot long rifle." Then they push you if you miss on the opener and blammo double flechete pop they start looking like the kool aid man with a busted pitcher and cherry juice dripping all over the place and swipe with the riposte or knuckle knife punch and its lights out. Love the solo play guides man keep up the good work. I don't have a lot of people to play with so solo is my only options 95% of the time and these guides are super helpful and informative. Thanks Mike.
I really like playing something similar to this with a Martini Henry Riposte and a Rival Handcannon. For bonus cruelty you can use explosive rounds on the Martini for easy splash damage and then use the Rival for a quick clean up. Works best in team play though, and with only 3 rounds at your disposal before having to reload you really have to make em count.
Never once considered this loadout because I honestly never imagined flechette would do 20 dmg from that far away. I'd originally written it off entirely but now I'm excited to try out some new loadouts; great vid as always dude 👍
Personally, gunsmackk does really good solo guides on youtube and is a beast at hunt showdown, but you are way less annoying of a youtuber and the images and drawings you add in these guides explaining your movement and such ultimately make these a better solo guide in my opinion. Great job!
Lmao 😂 that’s me asking the question in the first few mins of the video I just heard that you may be helping them with balancing or something sorry about the bad wording ! Love your streams and informative gameplay videos like these :D
Really like the idea of the loadout. I think the big double-barrel + uppercut combo is insane in my hands. Basic principle is to open duels with flechette shots and finish them with uppercut. People starts to loose their nerves when bleeding, so it's easy job to finish them (or even scan walls using sound). Clutched 1v5 with that loadout yesterday. Definitely worth to try!
shotguns are sooo meta right now that every build + Quartermaster and shotgun is a good loadout for example (regular mosin+short Rival (slug), Obrez+regular rival (flecher), Centenial + short rival (slug) ) not only for solo, playing duos is a blast too.
Thanks for the tutorial. The most interesting thing for me is how far from the target you shoot, depending on the distance. For me the biggest challenge is to try my luck alone in trio rounds. Trios are deadlier, but often louder and overconfident. Due to the necessary scrap beak points, my second weapon is the poison only small crossbow. During use it has been shown that you can get through the area quickly and completely silently. Killing experienced trios alone is almost impossible, depending on the situation. In 1800 hours it was shown that one can kill undetected in the terrain with quiet weapons, but in 99% of the cases it is killed in places at the notice. The biggest kick is when you hear a trio rushing in while you are picking up the hint. If you run away, you will be heard by three hunters and worn out. If you stay, the red warning alerts the opponent. The end is always the moment when three heads stick their noses around the corner and open fire in fright. Neither the Atvomat, nor the Nitro, or anything else takes three enemies under fire at the same time ... except for one ... The explo crossbow, half explo bolts, half normal arrows. You don't have to waste poison arrows on swarms or downstairs, you can also kill from ambush, but if you are surprised at the tip, only the explo crossbow has saved me so far. the second before the opponent comes around the corner a bolt in his direction on the ground, the detonation reaches kind of around the corner, unsuspecting they are often together at tight points, the third one at first completely disoriented and damaged instinctively runs off ... One shot, two dead, one has to heal ... surprise effect, you can hear grenades boiling, crossbow not. The same on doorsteps. When you have practiced the distance you can aim at a door and release the bolt at the right time. Obviously placed traps which are then defused help to keep the target in place. Attacking with it is a stupid idea, but the part is very successful for defense at close range. In the open air it also helps when you escape if you briefly have smoke between you and the enemy due to the explosion. So small double poison crossbow and explo / normal bolts and the patience to assess the trajectory ... well it sounds crazy but as long as you defend yourself, the enemy comes close without a clue, the explo crossbow is a winner, as long as you don't get the stupid idea to attack with it ... Peeking twice or open range firefights are very bad ideas, almost every fight you where spotted at are bad ideas. Its only surprise mother$§%& in close range what the explo cbow is good for. Even caus And running clues alone, fast, silent will bring you a lot surprise meetings with trios. Alone i feel myself loud while beeing silent. Trios crossing bridges, doing clues searichg loot feel theirselfes silent but are very often loud. So that was a little note about how my single raven point farms loadoaut has developed, and where the strengths are ... if that is of any use ^^
I knew i had a decent idea. I really like martini riposte/handcannon whenever i get quartermaster. Explosive ammo/bleed makes for some super fun combos.
I think this video is your best solo guide yet. You pausing to explain your thought process is really helpful (even if the slow mo always make me think my connection is getting glitchy xD). And I'm glad to see that with time I've come to apply in game most of not all your tips ^^ Thanks again! Quick question though : what's the max effective range with the flechettes to deal decent damage and apply bleed?
Personally with the trait part, I will always go for 'beastface'. Because sometimes without, the crows and ducks are soo buggy that I can pet the crows without them flying up. And sometimes they just fly away when I am like 20 metres away from them! Soo annoying. Also I would also go for 'Adrenaline', just to make sure I can get away faster once I got hit pretty bad. Further more I would also go for 'Silent Killer', just to make sure I can use my throwing knife to kill them silently. Although I am kinda stepping away from it, it can be good to have. I would rather save it and go for 'Fanning' instead. Even a silenced nagant with fanning can still be a nasty surprise once you get into close combat with another hunter or with an AI that follows you.
Love the solo guide vids, know it's a lot of work! Hmmmm, going to have to give this load-out a try in a solo match once I unlock the Mosin on this prestige. Looks like fun!
.... very nice commentary and visual explanation of tactical play ... experience turned to wisdom and time taken to make the guide deserves a compliment ... ... would you agree that practically it'd be better if HUD sowed actual weapon/item type, not the skin name when looting? It is hard to keep track of all the skins esp. for someone like me who doesn't care much about them ...
Played this today with a rival flechette! Freaking good! But i enjoy playing more mid-close range, my fight was in nichols prison and i used the flechette to: 1. 2 tapping people 2. Flechette tag and knife rush 3. Tagging with mosin and finishing with rival The flechette may not kill, but the pressure is massive, they migjt even die to bleed. But as i said id rather play mid to close, so i use obrez + bow, great for pve (ai and bosses) and in close quarters a shotgun (hit kill torso or even bleeding pressure).
very cool thank you for the work. these little animations go so well with the video. your videos give you the courage to play more aggressively than solo. was mostly hidden in the reeds. 🤣🤣 but now I have to die at least one less time to learn. thanks
@pshyco : Love your videos man. Since the custom ammo I have really taken a liking to the silenced revolver with poison ammo - its so versatile, can one-shot dogs, and two shot armored and immolators (whiteout them exploding). would love some ideas of what you would pair it with. //Duiof
Great guide and a huge thx for the amount of work you put in your videos! One little request. When you play the next time with Dennis. Could you ask him if it is possible to add the zoom function on the map for the console players? Really miss that feature on ps4..😅
Great vid again Mike I like these solo guides a lot they really help me out seeing as I play Hunt mainly solo at the moment I will also give this loadout a try once I unlock the custom ammo for the shotguns and the mosin obrez mace XD
Considering that the vetterli does 2 damage less than the lebel and the springfield does the same as lebel within the effective range, you could probably pair those two weapons with flechettes as well.
@@PsychoghostGaming please, master, i need to know. I mean my sensivity from hip is 2,5 for dodging and overlook, and others are like 0,8 to have an iron hand to shoot. It will be a pleasure to hear your oppinion. Hello from Russia! Got my boys addicted to you strategy videos (2.5, and 0.8 kd, mine is 1,4 and its all because of you)))
I really like silent killer as solo with lightfoot as a sniper loadout with poacher. Greyhound is great but would give it up for silence with melee on those Imos and mobs of grunts.
Silent killer doesn't silence mob kills at all. They're still pretty loud. It's really good to mask melee windup so your opponent doesn't know you're around the corner with a charged up bomblance imo
Those were some good tips, much appreciated. I was wondering if you would do the same for solo against trios, or if it is just not recommanded right now : D ?
I think I would be able to perform well in Hunt if I didn't have the hand/arm shake panic mode all the time when I get into pvp engagements. Any advice for overcoming that other than just diving in and out of quickplay to adapt?
No easy way, only 100s of hours of practice. You gotta control that adrenaline rush you get when encountering people and approach engagements as cold blooded as possible. You get used to it after a while, this shaking effect will gradually decrease by itself. But I would also recommend just a shitton of solo Romero runs. You take Romero with conversion/pax and go blast people. 1) Using shotgun will force you to stay at the heat of action instead of camping outside of compounds (as we all instinctively did when starting the game because getting close is scary when you can feel safer with scoped rifle at distance). 2) Single-shot nature of Romero will force you to make that one shot count. I used to bring Bornheim a lot in my first games because it seemed that the price of missed shot is lower, but in reality I just panic emptied my magazine all around the intended target and died. In other words, using Romero or breech loaders will make you git gud much faster then other weapons. That, of course, was just my personal experience and may not apply to someone else. I probably spent my first hundred of hours doing just that: creep on duo, try to blast the first guy, figure out how to survive in the mess afterwards. I think that was a great way to get more or less comfortable with the game.
Using a new build I really like, Uppercut with two caldwell conversion pistols. I have decent aim with the uppercut and just love shooting to pistols like a gunslinger desperado XD Inspired on Mike's just be happy advice.
Thanks for another great guide to wrap my head around. Could you give your thoughts on the Rival+Slugs and Springfield+Penny-rounds? Are they high bang for the buck?
About how far is the Flechette a reliable kill with the 2nd shot? If you got a hit marker with the shotgun after a Mosin is it a pretty much guaranteed kill?
I used to take Fanning or Quartermaster first, due to the advantage of taking a rifle and still being strong on short distance. Isn't prefarable to greyhound or determination?
This is an awesome loadout. I have been taking mosin with mini terminus. Just need quartermaster to get the build going but it got me my first level 50 hunter with a 13 kill streak :D
Hey I started playing this after watching this video and this is a really amazing setup! Can you explain how you can get kills from such distance with the specter? I noticed you don't really aim in is the primary goal to just bleed your opponent?
So the Mosin Mace can 3-tap immolators, identical to the Knuckles? Also damn, I had no idea flachette rounds had such range... I'm assuming it's much better at range vs penny-shot, yea? As far as bleed goes. I learned a lot in this vid- thanks for all your amazing work!
Hey mike do you think they should add varitions of the Centennial like scopes or would they be too strong, because i feel it is already one of the better weapons in the game (mag, good dmg, high velocity), but the lack of variability makes it fell more dull than lets say the Mosin or Martini-Henry
hey I know this is ages after the video actually came out, but how can he tell what tier the hunters he sees are / why is that important? Does that still matter in the game or did it used to be different at the time of posting? Sorry I'm newly getting into the game

Keep the solo guides up!!! I’ve been trying to run solo since my buddy’s don’t play as much. So this has totally helped me:)
I knew i had a decent idea. I really like martini riposte/handcannon whenever i get quartermaster.
Explosive ammo/bleed makes for some super fun combos.
Indeed :D
I was killed by rival hand cannon with flechette at 78m.... This. combo. works. Great video as always, Mike.
I think this video is your best solo guide yet. You pausing to explain your thought process is really helpful (even if the slow mo always make me think my connection is getting glitchy xD). And I'm glad to see that with time I've come to apply in game most of not all your tips ^^ Thanks again!
Quick question though : what's the max effective range with the flechettes to deal decent damage and apply bleed?
Personally with the trait part, I will always go for 'beastface'. Because sometimes without, the crows and ducks are soo buggy that I can pet the crows without them flying up. And sometimes they just fly away when I am like 20 metres away from them! Soo annoying.
Also I would also go for 'Adrenaline', just to make sure I can get away faster once I got hit pretty bad. Further more I would also go for 'Silent Killer', just to make sure I can use my throwing knife to kill them silently. Although I am kinda stepping away from it, it can be good to have. I would rather save it and go for 'Fanning' instead. Even a silenced nagant with fanning can still be a nasty surprise once you get into close combat with another hunter or with an AI that follows you.
Love this style, my personal preference is a normal Obrez with a Romero Hatchet with penny and/or slugs.
Good one :D
The Hatchet is killer
another perfect piece in "How to play HUNT" library. Thanks for the video Mike
The subtitles, it's really nice ! Thanks for that and the guide
Love the solo guide vids, know it's a lot of work! Hmmmm, going to have to give this load-out a try in a solo match once I unlock the Mosin on this prestige. Looks like fun!
I find these guidance videos are so calming and enrapturing
.... very nice commentary and visual explanation of tactical play ... experience turned to wisdom and time taken to make the guide deserves a compliment ...
... would you agree that practically it'd be better if HUD sowed actual weapon/item type, not the skin name when looting? It is hard to keep track of all the skins esp. for someone like me who doesn't care much about them ...
Yay Psychoghost Gameplay.... always a must watch... for those spicy kills
And the Psychoghost Map animation is back..... OMG its been so long
I love your videos mike
Im new in this game it helped me alot 👍🌹
Happy to help!
Martini Reposte with explosive and Rivall Fechette... Just unlocked the martini explosive yesterday! Can’t wait to try it!
Enjoy ^^
Now that is an absolutely monsterous combination! Ill have to try this loadout later on tonight! Cheers mike!
ell us how that went
@@emilbrandwyne5747 turns out im still pretty abysmal at the game so it ended in multiple losses lmao 🤣
Played this today with a rival flechette! Freaking good! But i enjoy playing more mid-close range, my fight was in nichols prison and i used the flechette to:
1. 2 tapping people
2. Flechette tag and knife rush
3. Tagging with mosin and finishing with rival
The flechette may not kill, but the pressure is massive, they migjt even die to bleed.
But as i said id rather play mid to close, so i use obrez + bow, great for pve (ai and bosses) and in close quarters a shotgun (hit kill torso or even bleeding pressure).
The big man keeps talking himself down ;-)
Hey little one, thank you very much for your great and helpful guides!
I look forward to the next one!
I really appreciate the detail you put in your youtube videos
I appreciate that!
Great guide as always, thanks for this guide, I'll put everything in practice!
Good hunting! :D
very cool thank you for the work. these little animations go so well with the video. your videos give you the courage to play more aggressively than solo. was mostly hidden in the reeds. 🤣🤣 but now I have to die at least one less time to learn. thanks
You're welcome :D
@pshyco : Love your videos man. Since the custom ammo I have really taken a liking to the silenced revolver with poison ammo - its so versatile, can one-shot dogs, and two shot armored and immolators (whiteout them exploding). would love some ideas of what you would pair it with. //Duiof
Great guide and a huge thx for the amount of work you put in your videos!
One little request. When you play the next time with Dennis. Could you ask him if it is possible to add the zoom function on the map for the console players? Really miss that feature on ps4..😅
This is perfect for me, I've been struggling so much with solo hunt ever since they disabled quickplay! :D
Sweet :D
How about flares or the fake dynamite item? Good to light enemies on fire. Plus, you can actually use them to distract.
Great vid again Mike I like these solo guides a lot they really help me out seeing as I play Hunt mainly solo at the moment I will also give this loadout a try once I unlock the custom ammo for the shotguns and the mosin obrez mace XD
You're welcome :D
No bounty hunt lately, any solo guides and videos are extra helpful now lol. I'm actually having some good fun in solo bounty
I really enjoy and appreciate your content. So, thank you!
Considering that the vetterli does 2 damage less than the lebel and the springfield does the same as lebel within the effective range, you could probably pair those two weapons with flechettes as well.
Hey Mike! Love you new educational video! Alwsya top. Btw, whats your mouse sensivity?
I have no idea :D
@@PsychoghostGaming please, master, i need to know. I mean my sensivity from hip is 2,5 for dodging and overlook, and others are like 0,8 to have an iron hand to shoot. It will be a pleasure to hear your oppinion. Hello from Russia! Got my boys addicted to you strategy videos (2.5, and 0.8 kd, mine is 1,4 and its all because of you)))
Loved the video Mike. can't wait to go into the Bayou to try :)
Go for it!
another great guide sir. I can't purchase these stuff yet, still leveling up and unlocking. can't wait to try this.
Who does your music during intro & explanation Mike? You usually end up with some smooth jazzy rock and I dig it.
its blues dude
Great video Mike and yes these videos are great!!! That said I'm excited to see any video you put out lol. Have a good Saturday my dude
Thanks! You too!
I really like silent killer as solo with lightfoot as a sniper loadout with poacher. Greyhound is great but would give it up for silence with melee on those Imos and mobs of grunts.
You do you man :D
Silent killer doesn't silence mob kills at all. They're still pretty loud. It's really good to mask melee windup so your opponent doesn't know you're around the corner with a charged up bomblance imo
2300+ hunt dollar loadout. That dude must have been piiiiiissed.
Seems like he has plenty of $$$ :D
Those were some good tips, much appreciated. I was wondering if you would do the same for solo against trios, or if it is just not recommanded right now : D ?
You can, it's just tougher in actual combat :)
This video was so fun to watch. Can’t wait for the next one, well actually I have to.
Really nice Video Mike! I love how do you explain your next steps and it will give people some reason to get better in this game´=)
I think I would be able to perform well in Hunt if I didn't have the hand/arm shake panic mode all the time when I get into pvp engagements. Any advice for overcoming that other than just diving in and out of quickplay to adapt?
No easy way, only 100s of hours of practice. You gotta control that adrenaline rush you get when encountering people and approach engagements as cold blooded as possible. You get used to it after a while, this shaking effect will gradually decrease by itself.
But I would also recommend just a shitton of solo Romero runs. You take Romero with conversion/pax and go blast people.
1) Using shotgun will force you to stay at the heat of action instead of camping outside of compounds (as we all instinctively did when starting the game because getting close is scary when you can feel safer with scoped rifle at distance).
2) Single-shot nature of Romero will force you to make that one shot count. I used to bring Bornheim a lot in my first games because it seemed that the price of missed shot is lower, but in reality I just panic emptied my magazine all around the intended target and died. In other words, using Romero or breech loaders will make you git gud much faster then other weapons.
That, of course, was just my personal experience and may not apply to someone else. I probably spent my first hundred of hours doing just that: creep on duo, try to blast the first guy, figure out how to survive in the mess afterwards. I think that was a great way to get more or less comfortable with the game.
@@arxen4222 Solid, thanks!
I heard you like the Dolche, so I've put a Dolche in your double Dolche loadout.
Yap indeed :D
Always looking forward to your content my man!
Using a new build I really like, Uppercut with two caldwell conversion pistols. I have decent aim with the uppercut and just love shooting to pistols like a gunslinger desperado XD Inspired on Mike's just be happy advice.
I literally started playing this loadout with a martini and spectre about a week ago wtf. Great minds think alike.
Also a good one : )
Been a while since I've seen an Obrez in a build, good stuff.
This video is very well made. Earned a sub and likes.
I always pick the romero hatchet to pair it with the obrez.
Awesome video! I now prioritize getting bloodless trait due to so many people playing bleeding. :P
Thanks :D
Thanks for another great guide to wrap my head around. Could you give your thoughts on the Rival+Slugs and Springfield+Penny-rounds? Are they high bang for the buck?
Rival Slugs are good. Springfield has no penny rounds though. You mean the romero shotgun? They can be good.
About how far is the Flechette a reliable kill with the 2nd shot? If you got a hit marker with the shotgun after a Mosin is it a pretty much guaranteed kill?
Really enjoyed watching that. Well played! Where are you from mate? You kinda sound like German but I'm not sure
Great lessons Mike. Thanks!
Such a thorough guide.... But I still suck at audio ID of guns, I can spot my own favourites but not everyone else's favourites!
Practice :D
Can see you have that screen flickering on fog maps as well. I was able to 'fix' it by turning Effects to Off in video settings. :)
You see more than I do :D
Nice Vid Mike, XD
I have a question....do you come from the EU bro? Or are you American?
Austria, EU :)
@@PsychoghostGaming was ehrlich??? Ich bin auch aus Österreich dude! Nähe Linz! WTF small little world XD
I used to take Fanning or Quartermaster first, due to the advantage of taking a rifle and still being strong on short distance. Isn't prefarable to greyhound or determination?
You can bring an officer if you don't have fanning, but you can't make up for having much slower movement speed
This is an awesome loadout. I have been taking mosin with mini terminus. Just need quartermaster to get the build going but it got me my first level 50 hunter with a 13 kill streak :D
Nice :D
Hey I started playing this after watching this video and this is a really amazing setup! Can you explain how you can get kills from such distance with the specter? I noticed you don't really aim in is the primary goal to just bleed your opponent?
It’s flechette. I only use it as an easy finisher after the long ammo hit
So the Mosin Mace can 3-tap immolators, identical to the Knuckles?
Also damn, I had no idea flachette rounds had such range... I'm assuming it's much better at range vs penny-shot, yea? As far as bleed goes.
I learned a lot in this vid- thanks for all your amazing work!
Yes and yes
@@PsychoghostGaming Awesome. Thanks for the succinct response! I look forward to unlocking these
This is my favorite load out but I use the Terminus hand cannon with penny shot, it’s pretty fun
Hey mike do you think they should add varitions of the Centennial like scopes or would they be too strong, because i feel it is already one of the better weapons in the game (mag, good dmg, high velocity), but the lack of variability makes it fell more dull than lets say the Mosin or Martini-Henry
Would be cool :D
Thanks Physcho! Big fan brother love your vids
6:50 i am going mad or did crytek added signs to the different compounds? I dont recall seeing them before
That's new for sure I've never seen thos either
Specter compact fletchettes with a winfield vandal, pretty cheap being like $30 for the winny and $160 for the specter, low risk high reward
Works, although I personally prefer the high punch to 100% seal the deal 90% of the time ;D
hey I know this is ages after the video actually came out, but how can he tell what tier the hunters he sees are / why is that important? Does that still matter in the game or did it used to be different at the time of posting? Sorry I'm newly getting into the game
That obrez reload is so cool
This is a sweet loadout. Any advice for a similar one but more budget? Lots of dying over here ;D
The only thing i can think of would be not using long ammo, but then you dont get the one shotgun at any range flechette one tap.
Swap the mosin for something cheaper :) Or quartermaster the shotty with a Vetterli
Excellent! Really well done!
If you wanted a cheap/low level variant, would a Springfield compact + Caldwell Handcannon Fletchete work? (Please excuse my poor spelling)
It would, but harder to pull off : )
