Thank you, high praise from one who I would argue has the best movement in the game! I was able to put together a lot of these concepts thanks to watching your content. I will definitely be working hard on the series and I appreciate you clarifying things for others in the comments
What a good idea for a series. I'd love a guide on wallbangs, since they're such a rare mechanic in shooters. How to use sound to pinpoint locations and such. I've been killed by some real bs before, but trying to pull off wallbangs based purely on instinct is really hard, since people tend to sound a lot closer than they are.
Thank you! Appreciate the suggestion, wallbangs are def a rare mechanic, and even more unique to Hunt when it comes to audio. I certainly understand the frustration, esp since even with the upcoming update they are fixing audio issues when it comes to fighting indoors/on multiple floors. I'll def experiment with this
I think the biggest catalyst to successful wallbangs is map knowledge... I say this as a relatively new player. But based on my experience in other shooter games, you have such an advantage when you turn a corner and know a likely spot someone would use to get an angle on you. Wallbangs are a similar idea, if YOU were hit and at low health, where would you run and crouch to heal? I know there's obviously more to it than that, but when combined with the great sound cues we have in Hunt, being able to visualize the interior of a building without stepping foot inside it is a huge tool.
@@impossibleironman yeah wall bangs for sure! also throwing shit successfully, evading thrown stuff, distinguishing sounds, when to run when to sneak so many noobs crouch way too much, effective tactics and ranges for each type of gun/ammo.... so many details to be covered here... shit perk synergies... so much
Nice video. One of the strategies that often hurts evasion is uniform movement. Many melee charging players will swerve uniformly, and you can just aim in the middle of their pattern, firing every time they pass over your reticle. Evasion should be unpredictable.
This is a solid guide for 5/6 star bracket console play. Especially stressing of the randomized movement in big open fields. Scariest place for a player to get caught with their pants down.
This right here is actually amazing. I don’t need it anymore, since I already use most of these tips, but my god did I need this when I only had like 100 hours. This series will be awesome for newer players, and I will definitely recommend this to newer players that want to get the more advanced things down.
yo dude this was actually a massive thing you just taught.....ive been playing for decades and never once thought of the power of swerving sideon to mitigate hitboxes at full swing
I like this! A broad topic for sure, but I think a lot of misconceptions could definitely be cleared up about it. People definitely push at the wrong times or bunker up when it's not necessary. Could be two videos honestly
Love this series. Just wish it was PC gameplay. On a side note, a guide on when to commit to a push and how to help teammates would be guide i’d be interested to see!
It’s actually a really good explanation for the things 5-6* players use all the time. You won yourself a sub! I’m curious for your upcoming content! Keep up man, good work!
I'm glad I just discovered this channel! Very well done, I'm also a console player! I'm quite experienced and I found myself already using your tips, but you put it so well "on paper"!
I really like movement shooters and played quite a bit of Titanfall so I always try to use evasion. It's great seeing a guide teaching how to most effectively evade in this game
U rock man, great game sense and breaking it down to simple concepts. Like u said a lot of people wont teach this concepts keep it up. Also at the end ur using my fav gun and skin berthy Earthshine baby!
I really enjoy this, my buddy and I have been playing this game for about a year now and while I went in understanding most of these principles my buddy did not. Now finally after a year he’s started figuring this out and getting his kills up, but if he had this at the very beginning it would have been huge. Great guide!
This type of video is amazingly useful for newer players! I love the way its presented with examples to make a point. As a suggestion for a future video since you asked at the end, slicing the pie and keeping tabs on side angles would be extremely useful for a few friends of mine who are new to the shooter genre
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Also an interesting topic, thank you for the suggestion! That can fall into multiple categories: situational awareness, map knowledge, combat rotations, etc. I'll think on that one for sure!
Really good vid and advice, currently haunting the depths of 3 star as i have only been playing about 2 months but definitely going to use some of these tips to improve my game. good job
As a seasoned 5 star who's only a 5 star because there isn't enough 6 stars for me to kill to get 6 star ( do to how the MMR system works) I don't need this info, but I still look out for these kinds of guides so I know who to promote to new Hunters to help em get closer to the real hunts. Ima be promoting this is the discord for real. Keep at it.
Really informative video, while staying short and on point. Great work man! As 3/4* player I can't wait to try and learn this techniques (rn waiting for the new internet to get installed in my home...) Thumbs up and subscribed!
This is actually nice. Most people who half assedly explain things like this have unintelligible foreign accents so you can't really even understand what they're saying most of the time
Its like Im watching a Discovery Channel. Contents, explanations and the voice acting...anyway this video helps a lot. Good work and hope to see much more like this.
I have been trying to teach a friend of mine who has just started playing how to be better. But since I have over 1k hours in the game, like you said, it has become instinctual and I don't think about it in the moment. I'm sending this to him now and hopefully he will understand now why I "Run around in the open like a dumbass." Instead of crpuching stationary behind one piece of cover till I get surrounded.
great guide although i already do all of these things it took me a long time, by watching better players , to understand them. a guide like this would have certantly helped getting better movment without trial and error XD love it
Great video!! I'm not sure if its in theme but I would love a video about throwables and which ones to use where and when, that's the only skill I'm severely lacking and I can't remember any tip videos talking about explosions and shit in depth.
Thank you! I might incorporate something like that into a load out style video, I've gotten a handful of requests that line up close to something along these lines
1:37 I am by no means expert at the game, so I am not sure what I am about to say is true, but since there is no body penetration to my knowledge then sideways also makes you take less damage, because your typical torso hit can become and arm hit. Someone correct me if I am wrong but that's was my way of thinking of why to do that
Pretty sure body pen depends on ammo and weapon type. So stuff like arrows and crossbow bolts or bleed ammo (except for maybe nitro bleed ammo) will not penetrate limbs. And other types of ammo will deal damage to the body part with highest priority. So if an enemy somehow hit through your arm, torso and head at same time, it will deal headshot damage, but no extra damage for arm and torso. Not 100% certain about the bleed, poison and incendiary ammo, because i don't play with them as much. Though i assume they don't pen, because they can't penetrate any walls. Plus i've been getting consistently more close range 2-tap kills with fmj ammo compared to other types even after the damage update. I couldn't find the video from the devs explaining it, but this one at least somewhat demonstrates limb penetration: ua-cam.com/video/zDlTFoFNxsc/v-deo.html This is why i stopped lowering my head while running away from enemies. I thought i was being smart and saving myself from headshots, but, judging from this info and my experience, all i did was give them easy torso shots mixed with a chance to also hit my head. Sorry for a ton of text, i'm too dumb to know how to keep things short.
The video in this thread answers it well, I wasn't aware that there was something addressing this so that's a great resource. As stated it comes down to ammo type in regards to the damage reduction, but ultimately the swerve is still useful as there is "less" to shoot at when you turn.
On the top of my head, I'd think of topics like "timings and tricks for picking up or necromancing downed teammates", or "timing and tricks to push or fall back : after a tag, when the ennemy is pushing, or when u hear them cooking"
Thank you for the suggestion! Offensive/defensive timings seems to be a popular suggestion so something I will be exploring for sure. I like the idea of revive strategies, I will give this some thought! I see players at all ranks walk into a bad situation with revives all the time so certainly a topic to address.
Note that since shotguns are perfectly accurate while midair you don't have to wait till landing to shoot while jump peeking. Granted this is somewhat difficult to do but if you can manage it, it's very very effective.
You can certainly take the shot mid jump, I do a lot, but I assume most people will need the air time to register their target and make adjustments. But if it's something you're used to doing, absolutely! I took a flying leap over a boulder and got someone with the LeMat shotgun the other day.
Such a dope video! No frills, no silliness, just good solid information. Also, I see a Romero Hatchet, I click like. As far as suggestions, wallbangs would be nifty of course, maybe a guide to good melee approaches, or how/when to make use of a melee option in PVP and what ones you appreciate?
Thank you! The Romero Hatchet is one of my favorite Quartermaster build options to utilize, more versatile than a lot of players may give it credit for. I appreciate the suggestions, I will def be looking at these for the series.
I love this style of video, and watching this makes me almost want to do something similar with the game! I'm pretty experienced and probably wouldn't need it too much, but I would love to see a video on movement across the map (i.e. where you should and shouldn't go depending on what you know, when to cross over to the other boss, how to behave on the map when you hear other players, etc). Thanks for creating such a good guide!
This was a wonderful guide! I'm looking forward to following along with the series. Here's my suggestion for an episode down the line: "Why your shot didn't land." or "Why they are still alive." We've all been there I think or, for prides sake, hope: you could have sworn that your aim was dead on and yet no hit registers or you're getting multiple hit markers in a row and still the bastard won't go down. It's easy in the heat of the moment to blame the game but I'm betting the majority of cases are down to user error. It would be great to hear you go through a few of those scenarios and discuss the reasons behind why what might at first glance look like a hit isn't or at least not a good one. Also, in the few cases where the game may have something to do with the miss and there is a way to tell, that would also be an interesting subject to help determining what to practice and what to ignore and move on from.
Thank you! Also quite the unique suggestion. For this very reason, in my gameplay clips (esp when you can hear me get frustrated in the comms) I try to slow it down and zoom in to see what happened. I have def found more often than not that it boils down to something silly like I shot a part of their outfit that has no object collision, or like a highlight I posted recently I shot just below the elbow on someone wearing a cowl making it look like a torso shot when it wasn't. While Hunt does have some hit reg issues for sure, it's true that more often than not it boils down to perception. Something I could def do a clip reel about.
To go with other people's suggestions here, since I think you did a great job with this one; Maybe an episode on types of aiming would be worth doing? Could use it to talk about the differences between 'true' aiming and flick-shots, when to stay ADS'd and when to lower the gun between shots, what weapons work well enough to bother with hipfire in a pinch, etc. I find that any time I mention that aiming normally and flick-shooting use different types of dexterity, and people can be better or worse at either type, it ends up confusing people because a lot of people see all aiming as the same thing. Edit: Another one might be 'how to win a knife fight', or just a general guide to melee weapons. Most people know what melee tools are good for what enemies, but nobody really talks in specific terms about how to win a melee fight without dying. Might be a shorter episode, but could help some people.
Amazing vid! Unfortunately, mic quality isn't as good as it could be, but I'm sure it'll improve over time. I would suggest an episode covering the techniques used to safely/reliably push a boss lair/compound.
Thank you! Yeah it's something I'll fine tune until I can get a better set up. Def been seeing a lot of suggestions to this effect, a topic I'll be covering for sure
One thing I've found is communication is meta especially when playing random trios if you don't tell your team your plan then usually one person ends sat outside compound in a bush while the other two fight the boss and then that person 9x out of 10 gets picked off which gives the enemy the upper hand play with confidence and if you can't then practice on the solo mode until you feel upto a more rewarding challenge, plus see the map more like a chess board no move guarantees a pay off but if you can up the odds then its your move to make also sometimes the chess board is set against you so sometimes leaving before the odds are stacked against you can be the best outcome just play the map is my advice- 5 years of mathing it up 😂
Nice Video, extremely useful, especially if you run a saber like me.. Another good video concept you could do is target prioritization, lots of times I find people struggling to decide who is the biggest threat when multiple people are aiming at them and not too many guide touch base on this topic either.
Thank you! Target prioritization is def a good topic. It's not as simple as "X person has this gun or bounty" most of the time, it can change rapidly from moment to moment and it's easy to tunnel vision.
I suggest proper melee charges. Seen a lot of times people charge up their melee and commit to much to a charge and get killed when switching to your gun could secure a kill instead.
One one hand this video is amazingly educational and helpful for novices like me, and I'm thankful for that. On the other hand, I wish the game was less arcadey and twitchy in it's movement and rewarded more tactics and out-thinking opponents. All this bunny-hopping and spastic movement feel a bit off in such a grounded and realistic looking game.
the quality of the video and the microphone itself is poor, but this guy speaks wisely, he tells the truth! Really well done tutorial, maybe in the future, when editing materials, set the voice filter like in the eighteenth century and the video filter black and white?
Do you mean can you manipulate the motion sensors in the controller for control schemes? No but that would be hilarious. All they really did was port over all the PC stuff (which is why the menu UI is terrible on console, it's not made for it), the only real unique feature is the selection wheel since we don't have enough buttons to bind items.
I recently became 5* and it has been brutal - thought I was somewhat good but no, haha! However, evasion is key to surviving one more minute. Will be watching this series closely! Thanks.
I would like to see a stealth guide. Way too many people tell me they dont stealth much because it doesn't work for them but imo its mostly because they just subconsciously refuse to fully lean into it.
Nice vid, Thats a thing I dont like in Hunt like any FPS for that matter where it becomes a jumping simulator ( was the same for crouching before they nerfed it ) I understand the tactics/strategy behind but lets be honest have ever see anyone fight for real like that, maybe in a meme comedy movie that could be featured :)) . Also I dont play on console but you do land some nice shot with a controller, GG to you man !
That would be absolutely hilarious though wouldn't it? Def can be immersion breaking (for those who enjoy that kind of thing) when the movements get ridiculous.
This is something I'll look into after the Stalker Beetle update hits, as it will def have a large impact on this kind of play style both for and against.
if you can. i recommend a weapons, tools, consumables, and ammo guide. also something players won’t teach. each guide can be a separate video. teach us what’s each good side a bad side they have. again just suggestion this idea was great
Man, I swear I died exactly like that second shot after the "Scan This". Me and my buddy had just killed a duo and an extra solo hunter appeared (black coat or lonely howl, idk). Could that be me dying? lol
If you play on console then possibly. If so then GG, I def took advantage as a solo of capitalizing on the end of a server fight (I also came from across the map so there's that too lol).
This swerving should just be embarrassing from a developer standpoint. You made this AMAZING game where people can set up a trip wire trap by an oil barrel while one hides up on the ledge of a dilapidated building 150 meters away waiting for the trap to be sprung and take the player out while he's frantically trying to put out the fire in his face. Instead your game is played like this... Two people at point blank, jumping and shooting at each other until one dies. Good job
While I understand it can be an immersion break for some, my question is this: what do you propose they do about it? Pretty much any game will be subject to some mechanic like this that goes against the developers intentions. This is a consequence of Hunt having slow firing weapons, obv you can't do this in games with more automatics. Also if you're playing optimally, the scenario your describing won't happen often. You're either getting sniped at 150M+ or one tapped by slugs/nitro at close/medium range respectively.
@@impossibleironman what could be done is to increase the weapon sway dramatically if you aim with the weapon shortly after moving. You could also increase the sway dramatically when aiming while moving. Make it so that the game detects when you move too much within a very small area (swirwing) and decrease your moving speed dramatically - sort of like they did with the spinning while reviving a team mate
An interesting idea! I could def see it. It does make me wonder though how it would affect the balance of certain load outs. Something to give some thought for sure
You have to look as far down as your camera will allow first, then hold the spin. If you don't look all the way down or you change the pace of the spin in any way it will interrupt the movement. Honestly it took me awhile to figure out too
@@impossibleironman yeah bro i hope your channel picks up i think these in depth tutorials can really do that. this game has a steep learning curve and people really need this stuff spelled out
Ngl, I've been condescending to console players and their "aim", but your gameplay looks so smooth I wasn't even able to tell that you are using a controller. A wery well-paced video and I can appreciate the amount of work that went into a video this long, I've been struggling to come up with a 5min script, lol. Good luck there, gonna keep an eye on you!
Thank you much! There was indeed a lot that went into it between combing through my footage, writing the scripts, timing the overlays, etc. So it means a lot that it is appreciated!
I first played Hunt on console before quickly moving to PC and I don't know what it is but the sensitivity is completely messed up. going from high tier 6Siege to Hunt was wild I can do well on 6Siege on console or PC using controller for both even but Hunt is nearly unplayable with a controller, for me of course, to the point I can't tell if it was a purposeful design choice or just bad implementation and seeing 5 stare combat relegated to who can strafe shoot better and not who can actually aim with the right joystick is just horrible to see I hope they actually fix it because Hunt is one of the best games out there.
The console mechanics are def a secondary consideration. The port over is poor, as can be seen by the menu UI that isn't designed for console in the slightest. They added a few shortcut buttons but beyond that it's riddled with issues because a console isn't meant to handle things like multiple windows in the way a PC is. Carry this mentality over to gameplay and I'm sure a lot of things were looked over there as well, as you're correct I've def had smoother console shooters.
Haha I'll take it. Granted I do have experience with PC, but most of the people I play with are on console and my PC set up is kind of a toaster at the moment. Sadly my PS5 is more powerful. So I do my best to point out when things apply to one platform or the other, having had experience on both.
Keep in mind I'm on console, so I don't really have a DPI setting for you. However my in game settings are (Def/Shoulder/Aim) X: 1.6, 1.45, 1. Y: 1.05, 1, .8. I've been experimenting with them lately though because I feel my close quarters sensitivity settings are still too low.
So THIS IS WHY I SEE SO MANY ELITE FPS PLAYERS SWERVE AWAY (in long ttk/non-hitscan games) AFTER TAKING UNLIKELY POTSHOTS‽ I know it probably doesn't work in all games but this feels like it's got to be a staple emergent strategy in some gamut of titles. The way we gamers live & respawn by the saying, "when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail", is always an entertaining thing to me.
I've tried this in some other games, some of it absolutely does work. The stagger stepping is a little more specific to Hunt where each individual shot matters, serpentining is more useful in games with a lot of automatic weapons tho. Fake peeks and things of that nature are great however, I use it in stuff like Overwatch all the time.
There might be a bit of a difference in console vs pc here. I don't think I could get away with jumping or crouching this often with out triggering the slowdown penalty for spamming those actions.
I do go over the movement penalty, it's all about spacing it out. I'm used to the timing from practicing it, and I also throw in other movements like swerves if I know it might penalize me. I used to get killed all the time by my hunter suddenly slowing down and not knowing why until I messed around with it.
as a console layer this guy really needs to play this on PC. We cant do half of this. we get movement penalty for turing too fast and also for crouching to often. so the spinning to lot is not possible. as well stagger step and jump and crouch. all we got is serpantine and feint
The looting spin is the only discrepancy between PC and console, otherwise it's about spacing out the movements and putting in different types of movement in between to avoid penalty. There's a section in the video that displays the difference between what will result in penalty and what won't. You can see players like Gunsmackk and Rachta use movement like this a lot without difficulty, and Huuge even does 180 degree turns mid fight without issue, all on PC. If there was a significant difference between the two, I would have made that clear
this is actually such a cracked guide/series! Excited to see what else you have in store!
Ayyye🤘🏻🖤
thanks! I wasn't sure how much console tips could help me.
Gunsmackk I love you
@@qawi272 he cannot show the movements as good as a PC player, but he talks about the concepts and how to implement them, which is what matters!

There isn't enough educational hunt content. More please :)
Map features utilization is probably the most critical thing to teach. One who can leverage map to his advantage has huge leverage.
This is a great idea! I appreciate the suggestion!
Nice video.
One of the strategies that often hurts evasion is uniform movement.
Many melee charging players will swerve uniformly, and you can just aim in the middle of their pattern, firing every time they pass over your reticle.
Evasion should be unpredictable.
Absolutely. Melee combat is also a whole other discussion in itself, but I agree I've used the same strategy against knife charges/bomb lance users
Great video! I shared it to my friend circle to shout you out, the console community needs guides like these; so keep it up!

Plus i've been getting consistently more close range 2-tap kills with fmj ammo compared to other types even after the damage update.
I couldn't find the video from the devs explaining it, but this one at least somewhat demonstrates limb penetration:
ua-cam.com/video/zDlTFoFNxsc/v-deo.html
This is why i stopped lowering my head while running away from enemies. I thought i was being smart and saving myself from headshots, but, judging from this info and my experience, all i did was give them easy torso shots mixed with a chance to also hit my head.
Sorry for a ton of text, i'm too dumb to know how to keep things short.
@@Bus-In-Ass-Man Loads of text is fine as long as it has some valuabable information, which yours had. Good info to know, thank you.
The video in this thread answers it well, I wasn't aware that there was something addressing this so that's a great resource. As stated it comes down to ammo type in regards to the damage reduction, but ultimately the swerve is still useful as there is "less" to shoot at when you turn.
On the top of my head, I'd think of topics like "timings and tricks for picking up or necromancing downed teammates", or "timing and tricks to push or fall back : after a tag, when the ennemy is pushing, or when u hear them cooking"
Thank you for the suggestion! Offensive/defensive timings seems to be a popular suggestion so something I will be exploring for sure. I like the idea of revive strategies, I will give this some thought! I see players at all ranks walk into a bad situation with revives all the time so certainly a topic to address.
Stumbled on your vid, class is in session. Great work man
Thank you!
Your video really helped alot bro keep up the good work .
From now on, I shall refer to my head as my "headshot hitbox"
Note that since shotguns are perfectly accurate while midair you don't have to wait till landing to shoot while jump peeking. Granted this is somewhat difficult to do but if you can manage it, it's very very effective.
You can certainly take the shot mid jump, I do a lot, but I assume most people will need the air time to register their target and make adjustments. But if it's something you're used to doing, absolutely! I took a flying leap over a boulder and got someone with the LeMat shotgun the other day.
@@impossibleironman It's a technique you have to get used to for sure.
What a great video! Hope your channel grows quickly!
Such a dope video! No frills, no silliness, just good solid information. Also, I see a Romero Hatchet, I click like.
As far as suggestions, wallbangs would be nifty of course, maybe a guide to good melee approaches, or how/when to make use of a melee option in PVP and what ones you appreciate?
Thank you! The Romero Hatchet is one of my favorite Quartermaster build options to utilize, more versatile than a lot of players may give it credit for. I appreciate the suggestions, I will def be looking at these for the series.
I love this style of video, and watching this makes me almost want to do something similar with the game! I'm pretty experienced and probably wouldn't need it too much, but I would love to see a video on movement across the map (i.e. where you should and shouldn't go depending on what you know, when to cross over to the other boss, how to behave on the map when you hear other players, etc). Thanks for creating such a good guide!
Thank you! Also that's an excellent suggestion!
This was a wonderful guide! I'm looking forward to following along with the series. Here's my suggestion for an episode down the line: "Why your shot didn't land." or "Why they are still alive." We've all been there I think or, for prides sake, hope: you could have sworn that your aim was dead on and yet no hit registers or you're getting multiple hit markers in a row and still the bastard won't go down. It's easy in the heat of the moment to blame the game but I'm betting the majority of cases are down to user error. It would be great to hear you go through a few of those scenarios and discuss the reasons behind why what might at first glance look like a hit isn't or at least not a good one. Also, in the few cases where the game may have something to do with the miss and there is a way to tell, that would also be an interesting subject to help determining what to practice and what to ignore and move on from.
Thank you! Also quite the unique suggestion. For this very reason, in my gameplay clips (esp when you can hear me get frustrated in the comms) I try to slow it down and zoom in to see what happened. I have def found more often than not that it boils down to something silly like I shot a part of their outfit that has no object collision, or like a highlight I posted recently I shot just below the elbow on someone wearing a cowl making it look like a torso shot when it wasn't. While Hunt does have some hit reg issues for sure, it's true that more often than not it boils down to perception. Something I could def do a clip reel about.
Great guide! Thank you
Allways go full crazy legs when the fight erupts 😂🏃♂🤸♀
To go with other people's suggestions here, since I think you did a great job with this one; Maybe an episode on types of aiming would be worth doing? Could use it to talk about the differences between 'true' aiming and flick-shots, when to stay ADS'd and when to lower the gun between shots, what weapons work well enough to bother with hipfire in a pinch, etc. I find that any time I mention that aiming normally and flick-shooting use different types of dexterity, and people can be better or worse at either type, it ends up confusing people because a lot of people see all aiming as the same thing.
Edit: Another one might be 'how to win a knife fight', or just a general guide to melee weapons. Most people know what melee tools are good for what enemies, but nobody really talks in specific terms about how to win a melee fight without dying. Might be a shorter episode, but could help some people.
Thank you! Also both great suggestions, things I will look into without a doubt
Amazing vid! Unfortunately, mic quality isn't as good as it could be, but I'm sure it'll improve over time.
I would suggest an episode covering the techniques used to safely/reliably push a boss lair/compound.
Thank you! Yeah it's something I'll fine tune until I can get a better set up. Def been seeing a lot of suggestions to this effect, a topic I'll be covering for sure
Nice guide! I liked the funny comments during the gameplay
Thank you!
One thing I've found is communication is meta especially when playing random trios if you don't tell your team your plan then usually one person ends sat outside compound in a bush while the other two fight the boss and then that person 9x out of 10 gets picked off which gives the enemy the upper hand play with confidence and if you can't then practice on the solo mode until you feel upto a more rewarding challenge, plus see the map more like a chess board no move guarantees a pay off but if you can up the odds then its your move to make also sometimes the chess board is set against you so sometimes leaving before the odds are stacked against you can be the best outcome just play the map is my advice- 5 years of mathing it up 😂
Nice to see more hunt creators. Love the video.
Thank you!
I recommend disabling doors/windows highlights to make it easier to spot enemies behind them
I honestly hadn't thought about it, would certainly help
A console hunt video? Very based big smooch. Actually very good descriptions and I hope you have good luck with your videos in the future (:
Nice Video, extremely useful, especially if you run a saber like me.. Another good video concept you could do is target prioritization, lots of times I find people struggling to decide who is the biggest threat when multiple people are aiming at them and not too many guide touch base on this topic either.
Thank you! Target prioritization is def a good topic. It's not as simple as "X person has this gun or bounty" most of the time, it can change rapidly from moment to moment and it's easy to tunnel vision.
I suggest proper melee charges. Seen a lot of times people charge up their melee and commit to much to a charge and get killed when switching to your gun could secure a kill instead.
This has been a popular suggestion, something I will def look in to
Got my sub great explanation ty ! Happy hunting! Thanks 🙏
One one hand this video is amazingly educational and helpful for novices like me, and I'm thankful for that.
On the other hand, I wish the game was less arcadey and twitchy in it's movement and rewarded more tactics and out-thinking opponents. All this bunny-hopping and spastic movement feel a bit off in such a grounded and realistic looking game.
Yeah it can definitely feel immersion breaking at times. Glad I could help though!
As a intermediate player this helps me to learn better as i do want to be that one solo player NO ONE wants to encounter
Glad to help you on your journey to becoming that solo player!
@@impossibleironman have a merry Christmas and may reach your goals next year my friend
@@kileytingey6828 Likewise, thank you!
This is pure gold. Have a sub.
the quality of the video and the microphone itself is poor, but this guy speaks wisely, he tells the truth! Really well done tutorial, maybe in the future, when editing materials, set the voice filter like in the eighteenth century and the video filter black and white?
Very informative I’m almost 3000 hours in and I appreciate these tips a lot
Thank you!
What kind of controls/setting for controls are available on Playstation hunt? Can you do a gyro based control scheme on hunt?
Do you mean can you manipulate the motion sensors in the controller for control schemes? No but that would be hilarious. All they really did was port over all the PC stuff (which is why the menu UI is terrible on console, it's not made for it), the only real unique feature is the selection wheel since we don't have enough buttons to bind items.
I recently became 5* and it has been brutal - thought I was somewhat good but no, haha! However, evasion is key to surviving one more minute. Will be watching this series closely! Thanks.
The learning curve in Hunt is really intense, but hopefully this series will help everyone who seeks to travel it.
huh thanks for the guide, should train more evasion myself I guess
I would like to see a stealth guide. Way too many people tell me they dont stealth much because it doesn't work for them but imo its mostly because they just subconsciously refuse to fully lean into it.
This is definitely something I will be exploring post Stalker Beetle release, as it will be a large factor to consider for stealth gameplay.
Nice guide!
How about a guide for how to place traps in not super obvious ways that will get spotted and disarmed.
Thank you! Appreciate the suggestion!
This was super helpful.
Nice vid, Thats a thing I dont like in Hunt like any FPS for that matter where it becomes a jumping simulator ( was the same for crouching before they nerfed it ) I understand the tactics/strategy behind but lets be honest have ever see anyone fight for real like that, maybe in a meme comedy movie that could be featured :)) . Also I dont play on console but you do land some nice shot with a controller, GG to you man !
That would be absolutely hilarious though wouldn't it? Def can be immersion breaking (for those who enjoy that kind of thing) when the movements get ridiculous.
Great vid man
ma man sharing his hardearned wisdome
Do i need to have the ps5 account linked to twitch for the drops?
Yes, which can be done here: www.huntshowdown.com/twitchdrops
@@impossibleironman ty
Maybe an episode on ratting like how to do it effectively as a solo/team and how to counter a solo/team doing it
This is something I'll look into after the Stalker Beetle update hits, as it will def have a large impact on this kind of play style both for and against.
I was watching your test server video on the Beatle after I made this comment and thought the the same thing
if you can. i recommend a weapons, tools, consumables, and ammo guide. also something players won’t teach. each guide can be a separate video. teach us what’s each good side a bad side they have. again just suggestion this idea was great
Thank you, appreciate the suggestion!
Man, I swear I died exactly like that second shot after the "Scan This". Me and my buddy had just killed a duo and an extra solo hunter appeared (black coat or lonely howl, idk). Could that be me dying? lol
If you play on console then possibly. If so then GG, I def took advantage as a solo of capitalizing on the end of a server fight (I also came from across the map so there's that too lol).
@@impossibleironman now that's cool 😅
Very helpful !
This swerving should just be embarrassing from a developer standpoint. You made this AMAZING game where people can set up a trip wire trap by an oil barrel while one hides up on the ledge of a dilapidated building 150 meters away waiting for the trap to be sprung and take the player out while he's frantically trying to put out the fire in his face. Instead your game is played like this... Two people at point blank, jumping and shooting at each other until one dies. Good job
While I understand it can be an immersion break for some, my question is this: what do you propose they do about it? Pretty much any game will be subject to some mechanic like this that goes against the developers intentions. This is a consequence of Hunt having slow firing weapons, obv you can't do this in games with more automatics. Also if you're playing optimally, the scenario your describing won't happen often. You're either getting sniped at 150M+ or one tapped by slugs/nitro at close/medium range respectively.
@@impossibleironman what could be done is to increase the weapon sway dramatically if you aim with the weapon shortly after moving. You could also increase the sway dramatically when aiming while moving.
Make it so that the game detects when you move too much within a very small area (swirwing) and decrease your moving speed dramatically - sort of like they did with the spinning while reviving a team mate
An interesting idea! I could def see it. It does make me wonder though how it would affect the balance of certain load outs. Something to give some thought for sure
How do you spin the entire time you loot players? After like 1 rotation hunt slows my spin to a crawl
You have to look as far down as your camera will allow first, then hold the spin. If you don't look all the way down or you change the pace of the spin in any way it will interrupt the movement. Honestly it took me awhile to figure out too
Great stuff 👍
Thank you!
@@impossibleironman yeah bro i hope your channel picks up i think these in depth tutorials can really do that. this game has a steep learning curve and people really need this stuff spelled out
ooooooh i like this, you have a good audiobook voice :)
Thank you!
Amazing thank you
Scream as loud as you can at your opponent to assert dominance.
Admittedly it would probably throw me off a bit if someone did this over VOIP lol
I love doing this
Ngl, I've been condescending to console players and their "aim", but your gameplay looks so smooth I wasn't even able to tell that you are using a controller.
A wery well-paced video and I can appreciate the amount of work that went into a video this long, I've been struggling to come up with a 5min script, lol.
Good luck there, gonna keep an eye on you!
Thank you much! There was indeed a lot that went into it between combing through my footage, writing the scripts, timing the overlays, etc. So it means a lot that it is appreciated!
I first played Hunt on console before quickly moving to PC and I don't know what it is but the sensitivity is completely messed up. going from high tier 6Siege to Hunt was wild I can do well on 6Siege on console or PC using controller for both even but Hunt is nearly unplayable with a controller, for me of course, to the point I can't tell if it was a purposeful design choice or just bad implementation and seeing 5 stare combat relegated to who can strafe shoot better and not who can actually aim with the right joystick is just horrible to see I hope they actually fix it because Hunt is one of the best games out there.
The console mechanics are def a secondary consideration. The port over is poor, as can be seen by the menu UI that isn't designed for console in the slightest. They added a few shortcut buttons but beyond that it's riddled with issues because a console isn't meant to handle things like multiple windows in the way a PC is. Carry this mentality over to gameplay and I'm sure a lot of things were looked over there as well, as you're correct I've def had smoother console shooters.
Does this also work on my tax forms?
If only
This is really good.
Thank you!
i like your voice, reminds something from cold war era propaganda movies narrator voice. Also, great stuff.
Thank you! I like that analogy
good tips mate, tho on pc we cant loot hunters and swirl like that, they nerfed it soooooome time ago
Yeah unfortunately, seems weird considering most other mechanics line up the same between the two. Have to go with the left to right swing on PC
It is surprisingly warming to get a useful advice for pc from a console peon, i mean, player! *tips hat*
Haha I'll take it. Granted I do have experience with PC, but most of the people I play with are on console and my PC set up is kind of a toaster at the moment. Sadly my PS5 is more powerful. So I do my best to point out when things apply to one platform or the other, having had experience on both.
what sensitivity do u use?
Keep in mind I'm on console, so I don't really have a DPI setting for you. However my in game settings are (Def/Shoulder/Aim) X: 1.6, 1.45, 1. Y: 1.05, 1, .8. I've been experimenting with them lately though because I feel my close quarters sensitivity settings are still too low.
I actually teach new players movement techniques and dodging. My rule for bomb lance is duck left cause of the swing arc.
Glad to hear it! That's true, it does arc the same way all the time now that I think about it. Def something I'll have to try when I'm playing!
So THIS IS WHY I SEE SO MANY ELITE FPS PLAYERS SWERVE AWAY (in long ttk/non-hitscan games) AFTER TAKING UNLIKELY POTSHOTS‽
I know it probably doesn't work in all games but this feels like it's got to be a staple emergent strategy in some gamut of titles. The way we gamers live & respawn by the saying, "when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail", is always an entertaining thing to me.
I've tried this in some other games, some of it absolutely does work. The stagger stepping is a little more specific to Hunt where each individual shot matters, serpentining is more useful in games with a lot of automatic weapons tho. Fake peeks and things of that nature are great however, I use it in stuff like Overwatch all the time.
Is this Hunt on console? Damn. Most of my PC 1v1 duels are at a longer distance, so the "don't over aim" tip is definitely right on the money
It is indeed! Console meta is def more up close, with most players favoring shotguns as opposed to long ammo like PC.
Are you Canadian? Like, Native Canadian? Novaschotia?
Nope, West Coast US. Why do you ask?
@@impossibleironman you sound exactly like my friend IRL who is Canadian. I was gonna bitch at him for never telling me he plays hunt lol
@@magno172 oh ok, first time someone has told me that lol
There might be a bit of a difference in console vs pc here. I don't think I could get away with jumping or crouching this often with out triggering the slowdown penalty for spamming those actions.
I do go over the movement penalty, it's all about spacing it out. I'm used to the timing from practicing it, and I also throw in other movements like swerves if I know it might penalize me. I used to get killed all the time by my hunter suddenly slowing down and not knowing why until I messed around with it.
Thanks!
as a console layer this guy really needs to play this on PC. We cant do half of this. we get movement penalty for turing too fast and also for crouching to often. so the spinning to lot is not possible. as well stagger step and jump and crouch. all we got is serpantine and feint
The looting spin is the only discrepancy between PC and console, otherwise it's about spacing out the movements and putting in different types of movement in between to avoid penalty. There's a section in the video that displays the difference between what will result in penalty and what won't. You can see players like Gunsmackk and Rachta use movement like this a lot without difficulty, and Huuge even does 180 degree turns mid fight without issue, all on PC. If there was a significant difference between the two, I would have made that clear
Flanks/rotations based on loadout
what is your psn i wonder if we have fought before
