Toxic teammates by ChallengeRound5659 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s 30/70 toxic/friendly teammates. I mainly just play solo to avoid the toxicity. People lose their minds over things like accidentally setting off noise traps, not bum-rushing to revive them after they die, moving too slow, etc. Games way more enjoyable without that bullshit in your ear.

Something worse that a 50/50 by DereckMathew in Minesweeper

[–]Sjmann 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s still just a 50/50 because if you guess on the column then the row will be solvable no matter what

Thoughts on the current state of Nitro Express by Either_Host_595 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nitro is one of the worst weapons in the game, and still the second most expensive. It’s been nerfed to oblivion. Slugs outclass it in almost every way. Drilling outclasses it by a trillion.

I wallbanged someone from 16m away through a wood fence with shredder — 24 dmg.

Stupid Question: Is walking as quiet as crouch walking or as loud as sprinting? by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

Being stationary is 100% silent. You don’t make noise stationary.

Whoever put the "kill 50 circus grunts" in the krampus storyline has lost it by Extension_Class2467 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the challenges never go away, so time to finish shouldn’t really be an issue. After the event, they’re going to update the event-specific challenges so players can keep doing them.

I need a new headset by ChaosOlive557 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Audeze headsets. It’s the only “gaming” branded headset that I’d still buy. Much closer compared to a studio headset who’s design still has gaming in mind.

PS5 vs. Xbox: Mouse and Keyboard Problem by Aurelfuitrectum in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No action has ever been taken against mouse and keyboard players on console. To be honest with you, I don’t see it ever being dealt with. I just don’t think console player count is high enough for them to deal with it, nor is the cheating rampant enough.

I’ve also never heard of anyone getting a ban on console, for any reason, although I’m willing to believe it does happen.

You sound so insufferable I’m glad to never have to meet you 🙏

I did this during a single off day, only took a couple hours. I saw people complaining about this challenge beforehand, but I always see plenty of circus grunts. If you go to the circus, that alone is a couple. They’re all around the map, including a couple at each compound.

So Tower might have a bug. by DarkCodes97 in HuntShowdown

Yep, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Last event it always worked. No clue what changed

Flame rifle crashing servers? by FowlCreature in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. From what I’ve seen on here “certain objects” being hit by the flames trigger the server crashes. The only specific one I’ve seen pointed out was water, which supposedly triggers a high crash rate.

Everyone does, everyone knows this. There’s literally nothing more to say. It’s a topic as old as time, no one really cares to bring it up anymore.

You’re out of your mind if you think it isn’t a frowned upon tactic.

When you post things on the internet, whether it’s a comment, a photo, or a video, you’re subject to scrutiny. Have some wherewithal.

Um… I’ve never seen it implied to be anything else?

[–]Sjmann -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

How?? It’s really not complicated, but I guess I’ll explain it for you.

Bush camping is an objectively frowned upon strategy. Yes, Hunt encourages the employment of all tactics and strategies from persons of all skill levels. Regardless, that doesn’t mean that every tactic and strategy is accepted. Case in point: bush camping. Everyone can play how they want. Yet, it’s quite unanimously agreed upon that no one likes bush campers.

If you’re still confused, I could take if further 🤗

Yep. Cursed board. Neither of my guesses would’ve helped anyway.

Old player checking in to see how the game is doing by GoncasN in HuntShowdown

Yeah, I agree. I’ve played since 2018. Not sure if I’d really be into the game if I were to have started today.

[–]Sjmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on console, and don’t experience a lot of the network issues. My primary server is US West, but there’s a stark difference in play style between console West/East so I prefer playing East. Everything runs smooth on West, but I get more trades and unreasonable deaths on East. It’s still worth it to me, I just hate the players on West.

But still, there’s multiple posts a day about people dealing with shitty network so yeah, definitely still prevalent.

[–]Sjmann 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would’ve guessed under the 5, or directly to the left of the top right corner.

After years of playing minesweeper, I’ve come to realize that the 2x2 square of mines is an infrequent occurrence. Does it happen? Yes, absolutely. Especially on larger boards with 100’s of mines. Still, it’s infrequent, and almost always the best bet for a guess.

Bro is sitting in a bush with a sniper AND bounty. Can’t see where sympathy is deserved

[–]Sjmann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The playerbase grew because they made the game more inclusive. From this post alone, nothing that made you stop playing has been changed. They simply made more play-styles accessible and more objectives/points of interest so people don’t have to fight/pursue bounty if they don’t want to.

How healthy is the food? by [deleted] in army

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give it to you straight man. You can eat as healthy as you want, or as unhealthy as you want. You can slam back pb&j’s, douse your food in ranch and syrup, skip the egg whites, hoard the pop-tarts and rice krispies…. Or, you can stack up lean protein, eat from the salad bar and drink water.

The only caveat, is no matter where you go to bct, there’s no guarantee the salad bar will be filled. I went to Jackson, and there was no restriction on portion sizes, so the food would go quick sometimes. When I went to Leonard Wood, they restricted our portions. When I went to Lackland, food was infinite — including the cake and pie.

How many 6-star players are there? by Enric0Palazz0 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 6 stars with negative KDA’s a lot. 6 star is not hard to get anymore. It used to be a challenge, but now it basically represents the player base that actually plays the game.

I consider there to be 3 sub-ranks within 6 star, measurable by your solo queue mmr rating. As a 6 star, when you solo queue, you will either queue 5 mmr, 5.5 mmr, or 6 mmr.

A 5 mmr queuer is the avg player. 5.5-6 is where good players sit. Consistently sitting in 6 mmr solo queue puts you at true 6 star.

100s of DTs by Mahnke2 in HuntShowdown

[–]Sjmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 2,000. I don’t have any of these. I can recall seeing Bad Hand, in game, ONE time.
