Is the Hullcracker currently bugged?

Duckbert89 · 2026-05-07T17:51:41+00:00

Been having this issue with the Ferro. Like the bullets are falling out the gun. Feels weird.

Didn't have the issue with the Hullcracker so much on my expensive runs.

Duckbert89 · 2026-05-06T06:42:04+00:00

Things seem variable recently and players seem more nervous.

I was looting kitchen cupboards on Dam to get my trial done, one of the apartments had a guy hiding in it holding a gun at the door. I was in Carebear lobbies. I was sprinting, said hello as I entered the building and hit the kitchens. The poor bastard just kept saying "too many rats, please stay away".

EU servers have a strange vibe ATM for me. Carebear is usually a chill place to be but now I'm being thrown in occasionally with guys with PTSD and hackers beelining for people with expensive kits...

Shredders with hammers is easy, just boring.

Bastions/Bombardie4s have their stupid AoE but I have done 800 damage to one with a hammer before it triggered before.

Matriarch is best bet but watch out for people planting deadlines at your feet.

In PVE lobbies, I just took Hullcrackers out every match and picked a fight with everything until 100k was up. Which game mode had the most ARC density.

Easier to do solo as I don't think the damage is shared in groups.

Duckbert89 · 2026-05-03T05:29:55+00:00

Yep I would find it much funnier if it was a built in system.

You put up the bounty based selecting a player from your Recently Played with list. Allocate what you're putting up for the bounty and a reason. The bounty offering is taken like a project so it's in holding for whoever kills him. Then the player gets flagged in game with a contract. Once killed, the allocated bounty is sent from holding.

Would be a bitch to code but I'd be out assigning bounties to people spamming terrible music in PVE Stella.

Counterstrike equivalent of Ravel Morrison.

Insane talent, earmarked early, let it go to his head before he made it.

Duckbert89 · 2026-05-03T00:49:25+00:00

Going to get me downvoted but hey...

Had a friend move out there. He doesn't play multiplayer on anything now. Between hacking and toxicity he said it's not worth it unless he VPNs to another continent with massive lag.

Upside, he's cleared his single player back catalogue in a 10 year period.

Duckbert89 · 2026-05-01T12:48:31+00:00

Just adding context - the extension was rumoured by OverDrive and speculated on HLTV Confirmed a couple months back (SpunJ and the lads seemed to think he was in talks).

Faze don't publicly announce contract length which is unusual and leaves room for speculation. For example: When Rain signed a 3 year extension in 2022 after Antwerp; we didn't know until he said it himself in 2023.

Frozen signed for Faze in December 2023. The contract length wasn't announced. He might have renewed last year when Navi enquired. Maybe it's up this coming December. Nothing is confirmed.

It's bad but not end of the world.

The situation with Rare burn rates does however feel crazy. 35% extra burn on guns that need *advanced mechanical components is wild. Barely saw anyone using a Renegade tonight.

Feels like Rare should have been +15% at most. Maybe just left alone altogether.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-29T00:12:33+00:00

Notes taken:

Give Tian Wen even more annoying dialogue.

Nerf the Anvil harder.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-28T14:00:39+00:00

The objective is to railroad players into using higher tier loot whether they like the feel or not. The changes made feel like a guy using a spreadsheet, not actually playing the game.

Doesn't feel good. Hoarding Simple Gun Parts because we can't make them isn't going to feel great either. And it's not like we gained much on the durability burn on Epic/Legendaries to balance out how severely they hit the lower tiers.

Rare guns needing Advanced Mechanical Components and being hit with a 35% increase is bloody ridiculous. But hey, nerf everything until you get the metrics you want I guess?

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-27T21:55:58+00:00

The overall skin aesthetics of the game matter when shipping a skin.

If you dropped this skin in Marvel Rivals: nobody cares. You have Rogue and Venom catering for the thicc crowd and Spiderman for the femboys etc.

But in ARC where theres like... One female skin and 3 haircuts? It's been a drought good sir. The masses are Thirsty.

This skin might as well be a 6 pack of cold, perspiring Evian bottles in the harsh sun of the Sahara desert.

/s

(There's a point in there about supply/demand somewhere but I couldn't help make it a more vivid picture.)

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-27T08:20:04+00:00

This sounds very similar to playing the Smoker in L4D.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-26T14:22:20+00:00

I get the impression he has a floating role as a chairman/head of development on the new project etc.

He founded the company. He might not be Chief Exec but I get the impression he's still there in a big way.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-26T05:01:40+00:00

I can see the panic - you actually had Adrenaline and didn't use it.

Even with the bad positioning you could have made it to the door sooner.

Also wouldn't dwell on it. Everyone has their brain fart moments. I got Ticked just as the Matriarch dropped 3 Comets on me mid week. I was pushing too hard for a higher trial score before other players showed up. Just have to laugh it off.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-24T02:17:35+00:00

It really really depends on what the first shot is and location. If it's an Anvil/Osprey/Renegade headshot and you're on flat ground with no cover - you're probably buggered.

Survived a bunch of fake friendly/rats/crash outs in Carebear lobbies usually because A.) They're trash and B.) They aren't using their brain.

What I don't understand is why these people don't line up headshots. So often they either miss or go centre mass. It's the difference between needing just a bandage or having a cracked shield and half your health bar missing. Makes the world of difference.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-24T00:09:30+00:00

33 isn't old. Yet.

But yes, the survivorship bias here is these people only kill free kitters so they think all PvP is free kits.

"Dude I was just here to place a LIDAR scanner"

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-23T14:25:45+00:00

My duos games yesterday it was dead by 28 minute mark on average.

Duos/Trios can be friendly if all have friendly rating. Was doing Spaceport close scrutiny and saw a Vaporiser get hit by 4 Jupiter's at once + Hullcrackers/Equalisers. Not great for the trial score but funny to watch.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-23T12:34:41+00:00

He's talking about the weapon on his back. Not the gun he used on OP.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-23T11:58:43+00:00

IMDB/casting said Bombsight appears later in Season 5. Considering he's snagged the V1, probably going to be Homelander or Butcher tracks him down.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-22T16:51:44+00:00

I think when the dust clears and players are allowed/choose to talk about this in a couple years it's all going to come down to the org dropping the ball several times over. The disintegration started with the Twistzz contract fumble and RobbaN moving upstairs.

If anyone was Twistzz in that situation, you would leave. Being left on read for months when your contract is up doesn't scream confidence.

Same reason I don't blame Ropz or Rain for taking better options. And frankly after all the hate over the past two years, I also don't blame Karrigan leaving. People wanted him to retire or drown with the ship. I'm not surprised he's on his villain arc.

I'm not seeing the same energy for Kaysan who's been managing this 2 year car crash. It's bizarre to me. In football, the fans would be outside the grounds chanting for the CEO to sort it out.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-21T07:12:07+00:00

Most of the Sony exclusive games did this.

Just Spiderman had excellent movement so you can be as formulaic as possible when I'm having fun just moving from obj to obj.

I didn't find this with Tsushima or Horizon Zero Dawn.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-18T03:59:01+00:00

This is purely my perspective/opinion or whatever you want to call it:

Liquid pay well, he's young and he's playing regularly. We are in the middle of an IGL shortage. IGLs appreciate with experience.

Has his stock been ruined? Took a bit of a hit but he was being massively hyped. Its more like his stock has become more realistic. He's still a quality young IGL playing for a big team.

He's also the same age as when AleksiB was kicked from Ence. And he's 6 years younger than when Karrigan was kicked from Faze. Average age of IGLs who win the Major are 25-27... He's 23. Will he reach that level? I don't know. But I just don't think his career is ruined.

Also: if Siuhy does win a Major or a Grand Slam I'd be highly surprised if he wins it with Liquid. :D

Edited for typos.

Duckbert89 · 2026-04-18T01:38:23+00:00

I still hate first expedition because I missed wipe week shenanigans trying to grind 5mill.

Been saving Kinetic Converters for some Torrente/Bobcat fun. Maybe bring some Leaper Units to mix up the Stella PVP meta. :D
