"...better to be loud in a good position, than silent in a bad position..." That tip alone is probably going to save my butt alot in this game. Cheers!
An obviously new guy fired at me and was so certain of my position that he didn't moved at all.
One change of position later (5sec sprint) i killed him with my first shot fired against him.
He just stood there waiting to get the headshot after starting a mid range fight with only a short 'Romero Rival' and a 'Conversion Pistol'.
To be as loud as a train is no problem if your enemy is oblivious enough.
Even when he isn't that stupit he needs to adapt fast.
Give your enemy every opportunity to fail you can.
Eventually he will hang himself on one of them.
@@Niklas.K95 the thing is while runs are loud fights push you with so much adrelanine and stress that people often dont notice them at all. One thing I do is that my friend flanks them with a shotgun while I keep peeking out in order to distract them. Works quite often
Haha, the amount of times I'm just crouch walking around in the corner of the map directly after we spawn is appalling.
They tell us to use 3d surrounded head setS for a reason. I once shot a dude w who was running through bushes, and shot once or twice I cant remember. Didn't even know I was there because I was sneaking.theres gotta be at least one match where 2 people walked, not run into each other.
I run as fast as I can from point to point in hunt, without making noise. It's do able just avoid crows...
Teammates never do this though lol
"You need to have a predatory mindset" was a huge one for me. The whole time I've been playing in fear and then this tip clicked in my mind.
Yaa man, I just started using that mindset & won 2 games in a row. Once with one other teamate & once alone. Didnt sneak out of the map either haha
Same, I've had very small lobbies but still I got 2 Phat Double Bounties as a Solo in a Row.
I realised this today before I watched your video. I clutched successfully against two teams and thought: "Yeah, baby".
See, this gets me FUCKED every time.
IE, just played a game less than 30 minutes ago where I blasted a dude (who was cautiously scope-walking around a corner) in the chest with the Sparks LLR at 3-5m (149dmg), then followed up with two Nagant M1895 Officer shots (2x91dmg) and he STILL didn't die.
Running back around a corner to heal and reload, he tossed a frag bomb after me down a stair case'd corner which promptly blasted me to high hell instantly.
This dude TANKED 331 damage and laughed it off.
Instructions unclear, i'm banned from 3 different kindergartens now and the police are searching my house, browser history, and files.
“Don’t peek same spot twice” *peeks more than twice in clip*
that is because he had the advantage
depends if they know your there. You can technically get away with peeking the same spot if you got a silenced rifle or crossbow, assuming they haven't figured where u are. In that clip i believe the opposing hunters were focused on his team, masking his presence.
Basically, if you know ur hidden on a good angle and they are pre-occupied you can get away with a bit more. especially useful in 3rd party fights as a solo.
@@abbadox315 thats bad example video then arent it?
@@HolloW1203 no
Came to comment on this lmao
"get over the gear fear" but you must never underestimate the tier 1 guns,the Romero can outrange other higher tier shotguns and you'll never know the guy holding that Winfield is a scrublord or headshot master
Spam Ctrl and that headshot master becomes a scrublord
@@jasondp3546 What
Sorrenz Z how do u save your game?
@@IUsePCP dam u crouch with ctrl? I unbound that shit asap for space 😂
The Romero has incredible range for a shotgun, that's why I choose it over others.
Honestly nice tips, as a hunter who has close to 2000 hrs, I thought it was gonna be like one of those videos that tells you to be quiet, not to trigger crows etc etc. But these are good ones.
"Don't be afraid to shoot, it's how you kill things.", sums it up quite nicely. Great video.
also by shooting Hives and some Armored you level your weapons faster to get more weapons to choice from, you are more skilled in the use of your weapon and even if you need to bail you get some Exp. extra by killing those. Win - Win
Dont be a pussy
Nice list although I would add try using melee weapons. They are very powerful
Caleb Moore heavy knife is my best friend
Everyone else says DONT SHOOT🤦
"You miss every shot you don't take"

No matter what, never stop moving
Mr. Dynamite *hears your constant footsteps*
Yep. Even if you’re burning/bleeding
i litteraly had a freind get headshot after stoping for less than a second to deal with a dog pen, less than 30 secounds out of spawn. so... yah dont stop moving.
@@thecrackedgasmask0071 yea thats how i shot thrue walls people i just hear them moving around constantly :) i like to play vs those type of people that presing w a s d full time, never get ambushed :)
@@jdn_yt2793 when u have some kind of cover and ppl are nearby its better to walk rather than sprint too much noise they can track u down, never crouch walk x)
its funny how when I start a game with no consumables and crappy guns I usually play really nice and win ( play according to my weapons strenghts ) yet if I take full equipment grenades etc. I get 1 shotted to the head... not even a chance to fight back lol
Maybe you play too carefully with full loadout and it's easier to hit you, instead.
@@thecellhawk fear of not doing well with good equipment makes you play bad
I was going to comment this exact same thing lol
You miss every shot you don't take... That's deep life advice 😭
And you've never heard this saying before this video?
@@teod1298 Probably had, but that does not make it any more or less profound.
Some Wayne gretzky shit.
meanwhile some hunter with empty dual chainpistols in some corner *click* *click* *click*.... xD
Id say play alot of quickplay, your forced to be aggresive and itll remove your fear of combat imo
And winning in quickplay may help you to get some good gear for regular missions
Go head on with axe, saber and machete, you’ll be surprised how people fumble and die lol, but when they whip out the shorty Romero or pump shorty, I’m fucked lol.
Yeah that works for me too
@@phatnguyen-sy9kl It's even better on ps4
The melee weapons are really strong since you can't aim properly when is someone charging
May 2020. Quickplay takes 4-5 min from que start to game start. Then you die in 1-8min. Not worth it ANYONES time.
Something that really helped me get the feel for this game was desensitizing myself to losing hunters. I’m an old SOCOM player so creeping is second nature, but that always would get me killed in panic. Now it’s like ‘fuck it Imma charge his ass’
Spot on, but it's also good to be patient every now and then, especially when you run up on other teams fighting.
true , sometimes you need to use your brain as well
theres a difference in using the moment of surprise to ur advantage and being stupid by not shooting back, i highly doubt the take shots and dont take too long on aiming is meant for ambush situations
Was doing duo today and we got to the boss but we knew there was someone around the area "thanks to the red outline on boss icon" so ive just set up some traps around the area above the boss and we waited "for literally 10-15min" with me looking around threw the windows, and finally after this long ive manage to spot an enemy hunter and we took him down, then we were able to safely take the boss down
This sums up everything i ever said to new hunters,great video mate!
Another one i love to tell them "If you are in fair fight,you are doing it wrong...play by your rules"
Absolutely. My aim is mediocre at best so no fair fights for me. I flank, surprise or ambush. And I am doing pretty fine (with my duo partner).
@@Michael.Virtus try randoms, 0 communication so youre pretty fucked when trying to plan a flank or ambush
There's no such thing as a fair fight though... unless everyone has the same loadout and is standing in a field...
Some good advice. I think my main issue is poor aim since I never really played shooters before Hunt, but even the rest of this helps me keep at KD 1 and even get an occasional wipe.
mess around with your sensitivity as well. sometimes a tick to the left or right on that sensitivity meter is all you need to improve
@@gh0stykins True low sens is better if you get used to it
Thank you! Been having a lot of trouble with this game, but it doesn't stop me from absolutely loving it.
7:06 Thank you for saying this! Many times my teammates and I will beat other teams that are clearly not very good at the game because they often try to run instead of staying and fighting. This is a huge help.
My friend and I have slowly been getting better and I feel like deep within we KNOW all of this but it’s tough to be confident enough. But definitely the seventh tip is super helpful. Being aggressive and unafraid to take shots are huge tips. Really helpful video!
1. Throw freely
2. Don't peek the same spot
3. Search for a better position (flank)
4. Move fast even out of combat
5. Switch to sidearm
6. You miss every shot you don't take
7. Get over gear fear
8. Seek out player combat
Get over gear fear is a strong one but I think everyone has another strong one 😂
I’ve really been struggling with a plateau at a hundred and fifty or so hours. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video, and I’ll keep all this in mind.
When you said see then as prey, it really hit me! Can’t wait to play again soon
"Get over the gear fear" is really important. Cause I always used cheap loadouts, and now I'm close to my first prestige and I have tons of money and weapons that I could have used before. If only I knew! Great video!
Yeah well we make so much more money than we used to before release. It's easier to stack money and the better you get the more you make. Buying better stuff gets u more kills so more money, therefore it is an investment! ^^ I used at first to only get free hunters with Veterly or shotguns but then by the time you realize ur already level 80+ you've got like 15,000$+ and then u start buying good stuff so u win more and the money won't go down lol.
It's been like 6 months that I'm trying to waste my 15-18K in order to prestige. The money was sometime going down but overall kept stacking so last week I decided to only buy Avtomats for 10 Legendary Hunters and it used 3/4 of my money but damn I already went over 6K -_-
Gun variants and bigger dynamites barely cost more than the stock version so yea, don't be afraid of getting the gear you need or want.
@@PanzerIV88 I never go over 5k money lmao
@@TuFetu I got 30k and started 3 days ago but then again my k/d is about 0.8...
@@DarrenHoussein When you are new to the game it matchmakes you in easy matches, i also went rich in my first days
It really is so hard to get over the fear of making noise in this game. But from the get-go I've tried to be quite aggressive.
Using consumables was easy to get over but I had that same inkling to always save them. But fights are a helluva lot easier when one of your enemies just got a hive bomb dropped on their toes
Picked up the game yesterday. Your videos have already helped me in a VERY noticeable way. I’m not great and I die almost every round, but I can already realise the difference from before, where I didn’t make a single kill, to now, where I make around two or even more kills before biting the grass.
Thank you.
Came here to see how many of these tip I already follow.
I came back to the game a couple of weeks ago and went from 0.3 to 0.76 KDA following 5 of those tips.
Gonna push harder to follow them all and try to keep my ratio above 1.0.
Thank you for the video.
"Dont be afraid to play" is what you're saying basically.
And its true
Doing that recap over all the points at the end was honestly really great thank you
Thank's for the feedback!
I got this for ps4 last night. Played a little. Got my @$$ handed to me. Ready to get off work and do it again. Hopefully with a little more knowledge.
Enjoy!
The controls do take some getting used to on PS4...
Also just got this on PS4, if your down to squad up and get good together add me @ MF_Infamy
@@GuuseTV man this game sucks... I wish I would've saved my money.. What a trash ass game
@@GuuseTV u tryna sqaud up
New member to the channel...love your merch design and prices! And content so far hasn't disappointed. Thanks for the T&T's 💯
Great video ascendence your tips actually helped me over come my fears of this game and made me a better player
I'm surprised I knew most of these already and that they came to me quite naturally, the reason it's surprising is because in most games I prefer being stealthy. I wish everyone knew and embraced these tips. It's so much more fun to just Shift+W towards gunfights (that doesn't mean to do so carelessly) than crouch walk everywhere over-cautiously and sit in a bush for ten minutes because you thought you heard something. Good tips!
Ah, this all seems very helpful! And I love how you summarized everything up to where one must have the mindset of a hunter. Understood!
Your videos are definitely one of the best Hunt: Showdown videos on UA-cam
ONE LAST THING!! Don’t be fearful you’ll lose things when you die. When you die you will lose your character but you can get them back real easily because hunt dollars are easy to get. Take risks.
The way you formatted this video gives new players like me a lot of confidence man. Everyone knows they'll get better over time but sometimes in high skill floor/slow learning curve games like rust, ark, starcraft and hunt, it becomes hard to not be frustrated when you keep dying in the same ways over and over. Luckily the community is full of encouragement so it keeps us round. Nice video man.
Did you get good?
Good video.
I will keep most of this in mind, while starting the game today.
Thanks
I found a pretty good way to train aim in this game. go for cheap loadout such as winnie+conversion or winnie+nagant pistol or dual conversion pistol. once you are in-game just headshot and shot every mob you see, even lantern and lamp. also, try to train flick-shot with conversion pistol.
I just got this game yesterday, and I am enjoying it a lot! It's really fun, I like the risk reward mechanic of taking better loot to get more loot, or going in to battle with a crappy hunter and crappy weapons and still coming out on top. This video helped me improve a lot, so thanks!
Great tips bro, almost going to reach 100 hours on this game, need to follow these more, thanks
I recommend, if you're new, go for the sneaky wins, get your foothold and then start PvP'ing, its hard getting teams at low rank
Just started playing this game and these are great tips that make a lot of sense. Thank you.
great video. the only thing id add is "know when to go for headshots/ know your guns"
Honestly thank you, I mostly thought of the things you said to be the case, I mean at the start I sneaked around so much in quickplay that I died to time-out, but it still feels nice if a more experienced player says the same
good info thanks for the tips
I'm not a big fan of watching people play usually, but I found for this game particularly there's a lot to learn from genuinely good players. Spending some time on youtube watching gameplay will help a lot!
Psychoghosts videos are sometimes a bit overkill on how in depth he gets for me personally, but he generally has superb game sense, lots to learn from him.
Wizzdome or Appoh come to mind if you wanna watch people land ridiculous shots and singlehandedly fight their way out of crazy situations, serious one man army BS for real.
Good vid, happy hunting!
What a seriously great video! I love the approach you take to Hunt.
Looking to get started in this game and super helpful. All these tips can be applied to all types of FPS PvP games too. Thanks!
1. Play the game for combat and run towards gunshots, you'll condition yourself to not be afraid of death. Also gunplay experience.
2. Always go for the gauntlet, no exceptions.
3. If you always keep moving semi sporadically don't be afraid to get your head blown off, most people can't hit those shots. Once they miss you know where they are.
Hi, I'm new to the game. What does going for the gauntlet mean?
@@TheRealSimeon If there are two bounties you always fight for both of them. My group and mates call it "Running the gauntlet"
@@chicagobreed502 ah, thanks man.
For me it works pretty well to start the fight when i want to. Waiting to take a good shot to open the fight was my turning point. But that ma be just another approach on the same thing. Great Video!
Combat axe only is my favorite loadout, actually. Dont fall for the avtomat meme. Combat axe is superior!
Same here! The big bonus if I die I wont cry over a few bucks axe. And I'm pretty sure the killer wont change his precisious loadout for my axe. COMBAT AXE FOREVER! NEED COMBAT HAMMER ALSO!
Don’t forget to pack throwing knives. And maybe a hand crossbow if you feel like it
Very helpful video much thanks
Some good tips for new players, thank you for the video.
good tips ... I would add, at all time think about how each of your angles are covered ... "Do i have a wall on my right or on my left ... do i have trees behind me ? ... etc ..." & also do not reload in the open when you run after something ...
great video, great tips, is allways good to be reminded this tips from time to time, im not a pro player of hunt showdown but i feel im not a bad player but sometimes i run a lilttle bit salty and its great to watch videos like this, i play with my best friend and some times we wipe the server some times we die but allways we are trying to improve our skill of hunting, thanks for the video.
Good tips! I love hunting down other hunters, it's like a bloodlust and if you lose try again
Great guide, ty!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video thanks 😊
I think you give very good advises and people who try to apply them will improve their game.
Excellent tips.
The best plays I have made in this game is when I make peace with failure. I usually play with pretty goofy loadouts, and with that I can entertain myself just by imagining what the enemy team thinks as I rush in guns blazing, no regard for my life or my gear.
If I die, I laugh at the thought and move on, if I win, I win.
All great tips!
So many useful tips less in 9 minutes. A lot of respect to you.
That last statement is so true. I always call other players walking restock posts and armament backup. This not only helps to keep the spirits up, especially for our less experienced players, but it also helps to get them into a predatory mindset.
It's a game and it's totally okay, if not down right required, to dominate others if you want to come out alive and loaded with bounties. Best way to improve this, is by going against teams of three but split up from the beginning. Every one of us has to hunt down one of the other teams of 3. Often times we end up flanking 2 other teams fighting each other naturally.
On the topic of the last tip: Me and my friends always try to clear as much of the server as we can, before ever fighting the boss. Sometimes we die right away, sometimes we clear two teams on our end of the map, get some better gear or throwables, and have an easier boss fight.
When I'm doing trio, I roll onto a location, get the high ground and peak. Just tagging someone with a shot is ok cause it usually makes my teammates job easier. Also, depending on cover distance, a throwable will flush em out or kill.
I understand how these tips are designed for improving your game sense and mechanics by forcing you to engaging with the game more (you encourage a very active playstyle so that people can actually practice instead of bumbling along until their demise). That said, I play Hunt almost nothing like this. haha. I think I'm shaping up to be a decent player, but I will take the stealth approach to a map 90% of the time. And if I can extract a bounty without ever killing another player, those are perhaps the best feeling wins for me. :)
Suffice to say, the tips here are good for engaging the game for the sake of practice, but don' t forget to have fun and develop your own style. See you in the Bayou.
i found myself getting one shot by bush wookies whenever i went stealthy. i think the goal should be to get a bounty and extract, but 99% of the time it’ll lead you to other players
Great guide!
excellent video!
Coming from escape from tarkov i noticed that this game is quite comfortable for me since you lose way less recources when you die, and the spooky elements add a lot of atmosphere, i am hooked
Its 5 AM right now. Best believe in 3 hours im going to hop on
These are excellent tips; unlike many you find on UA-cam for this game. I'd like to add ninth tip: Enjoy yourself. Sweaty, angry players who get frustrated easily and yell at their teammates (especially in earshot of enemies) are easy prey and an overall detriment to their team. They make costly mistakes and never learn from them because they place all the blame on others. If a teammate does something you don't like, lead by example instead of cutting them down. Being an ass isn't going to help them focus.
It's a game afterall. If you're not enjoying it what's the point?
Or, keep playing like that and continue being easy fodder for the rest of us.
Got this on the PS4 and I can’t put this game down!! I really wish when picking up a loot item it tells you what it is! Rather than just saying +1 consumable!
I will never forget my first and second Hunt matches.
Sole player in the server (it was early access still) and I just kinda ran around killing enemies as I learned the game. Killed the butcher and extracted. Kept getting more and more paranoid as the match went on thinking another player was stalking me.
Second match, got bodied by a caldwell rival shotgunner right after I got my first clue.
Should definitely do one of these for Solo players!
Perfect advise and it will end up making the game more enjoyable for everybody!.....Ive had a 6 month break from Hunt so I'm rusty AF but look out lads, I'm coming for ya loot ;)
First of all great Video! I'd like to know how to Position properly, since when I play with more experienced players I rarely get the Chance of a kill cuz they Position so much better. If there is a tip i'd be glad to be told and if not I guess it's Just practise and Intuition 😁
I only got the game a week ago. I like playing as a solo player trying to hunt down teams. If I ever find the boss room quickly, I like hiding just outside of the dark sight warning, and wait to sneak up on a team after they've started the fight and are distracted. I love this game
Rat behaviour. I am proud
I really like the Winfield surrpressed and the Romero 77 hatchet, I have melee, I can use the lever action and I use the perks that increase my fire rate
nice video man,
Surprising easy to watch. You have a chill voice
Very helpful 👍
Honestly silenced Winnie with a least with dragons breath shells is OP. I take a med kit sticky bombs and a stamina shot. I carry a heavy knife or throwing axe (hits hard, low stamina use, and can be thrown) light, and choke bombs
another tip I would add: if you do move quickly, try to make yourself unpredictable. dont just B-line for a clue right when you spawn. I'm more of a stealthy player (i just like that playstyle) and i've killed 3 man squads solo because they made a ton of noise just sprinting towards a clue and i got the drop on them because i had time to set up a position and wait them out.
I agree with everything that he's said except for avoiding deep waters. If you got gators legs it's great way to move around the map, as not many players expect people to take those route and has gotten me a lot of great shots on teams. With the last note of not being afraid of other players is absolutely true and keep in mind that the game always tries to find players on your same level.
Thx for your videos. You helped me a lot to become much better in the game. Beeing better = more fun. Thx.
I learned if you dont stay calm in combat it can get very overwhelming. It helps Improve your aim drastically. My hands shake when my heart goes up 100.
I do the opposite of most things you say.
Playing solo most of the time. Sparks Sniper and Uppercut always in the bag. being pretty slow on purpose.
Waiting for others to get ahead of me while I take the clues slightly later.
I know where everyone is going and that my back is free. I ll sit back, take my time to observe and take shots that a guaranteed kills. Not staying in a single Spot after shooting 1-3 times is important and huge flanks tend to be rewarding as the Sniper helps to get the long distance kills.
I dont even care to much about the objective. I ll just kill some people and loot with vulture if I cant contest the bounty.
Its probably very annoying to face me
**you can play this game in a lot of different ways and enjoy it.
I like your approach and I too play solo most of the time. I'd be interested in trying Duos with you. Send me an email through UA-cam so we can connect if interested.
This is exactly one of the many things I love about it, you can play this game in so many different ways!
I play almost exactly the same the difference that I play a lot the objective and try to get out with a bounty as often as possible.
I let players make them way and ambush them when I have an occasion to take back a bounty. And sometimes if I have all I need I extract
So yeah, so many different ways to play ^^
@@GorgeousCorvus wait you can send e-mails true UA-cam????
@@cheezburgir2330 Yes, you're right. You used to be able to email or contact YT users. Doesn't look like that's an option anymore. 😪
I just got this game and I've done better by myself go after teams than when I had team mates. I sneak around hunting gunfire with a fast semi auto handgun and a Springfield. Wiped three, killed spider and left and another killed two, snaked a bounty and left because I think I killed the last players. Lost third match because I got cocky, though.
Great tips. Don't be too bold though guys because you also miss every shot you don't make
Wow this tips are life tips, not just for a game , cheerss
I dont have a good enough PC to play this game, but it's entranced me in the last couple of days. The game looks so good.
Hahaha kneusje
the thrill for me is setting up a web of traps in a compound players need to go to (one of the hideouts) and try to take out as much that falls into my web on my own.
I get a stupid amount of grand slams because of this.
Gonna need to remember these...
You have earned my subscription. Im thinking about getting the game and I wanted to do research and seeing this viedo is making me want it even more all the other clips are a bunch of slow players taking a more stealthy just go for bounty games instead of kill the rest of the players so we can get better and take the bounty
great advise! but sometimes i love patiently waiting to flank enemy hunters fighting
I think what this vid misses is that different situations require different tactics. And weirdly the one I thing I find singularly the most important: communication (be it on mics or tagging enemy spots for teammates to see). Keeping a stream of information going back and forth.
I’m well aware I’m shit at long distances so I don’t even bother with snipers and the like unless it’s really strong or has a good rate of fire. I typically bring a good medium range gun coupled w something that either has a really good rate of fire or a lot of stopping power. My favorite load out is the Winfield w either a silenced nagant w poison ammo and preferably fanning or if I have quartermaster then dual silenced nagants w poison ammo or a Romero hand cannon. No matter what main weapons I bring I always bring a med kit, a health syringe, and usually some dynamite or a fire bottle
Knew al the things, watched it anyway XD
Thanks for the great tips man! I started playing this game yesterday and I'm already hooked! I just want to know, do you think using the suppressed Wingfield (or whatever its called) is a good idea? Are suppressed weapons, in general, a good idea?
Suppressed weapons are all very weak, and make you considerably worse in PvP, that being said, they are fun in that you can often confuse people and then watch them panic if used properly, particularly with the sparks sniper.
@@4FSGaming hmmmm, in that case I'll avoid them.
Also, I would just like to say that its very cool of you to be responding to comments on a video as old as this one! Keep up the good work!
Theyre good if you can hit headshots up close or mid range. But i agree. They make you worse in most situations. Try a silenced weapon and a strong secondary. Example. Winnie and the oberez. Hit them with the winnie silenced and they probably wont fall back to heal. Then bam oberez to the chest last thing they expect
I'm dreadful at FPS. I had no opportunities to play this style until Borderlands 3. My friends definitely carry me but I'm slowly building confidence and finding weapons I like that are easier for me to use while I get used to the game. I definitely need to seek out combat and get better! And I ALWAYS forget I have consumables to use. I really need to remember that point
With French accent: Tings that will convegt you fgom the 'unteeed, to the hunteurrrrr
