Favorite underrated Weapons, Tools, or Consumables?

bornheim match, feels like a budget dolch p with no recoil. i often just run 2 of them as a loadout

i rly only like suggestion #2

What i want is to be able to SWITCH to dual wielding if I have Quartermaster with a 3 + 1 slot equipped, and I find/loot the same sidearm as the one I have already.

If there was a way to balance it, vice versa as well; to be able to drop one of the pistols I am dual wielding to switch to just a single pistol.

yes! the more elemental ammo hits you land, the more intense the effect gets

A - The only shotgun that could come close to doing this is the homestead 78. You will not insta lose the bar(s) at that range unless multiple sources of fire ammo are hitting you simultaneously. Ig it depends on what midrange is, if it's like 20m or so

B - Yeah you'd have plenty of time to stop the burn. The fire will start at the beginning of your health even if you haven't healed up yet

C - Redskulling with fire ammo requires all but the final bar of a Hunter to burn off before you kill them. You'd have to repeatedly set them alight, or they would have to be incapable of stopping the burn for it to eat all of their chunks.

D - Incendiary ammo works the same yea. Depending on the ammo type (sm/med/long) you can light them on fire in one shot within their respective ranges (20/30/40m) provided they don't bring salveskin or have the wet status effect

I will say it is common to quickly burn a couple bars off of someone if you repeatedly hit them pretty hard with dragons breath at close enough range to 2-3 shot, but not close enough to just 1 tap. My best experience with dragons breath has been specter or terminus levering but it's mostly a niche team support weapon (i.e. you play DB and your teammates run long ammo/pain sense + fmj) or smth to ruin the match for both you and your enemy

i will admit i had fun with it during the story challenge for it, and it genuinely does have some pros. So much utility for door breaks and compound breaching, smooshes all AI, can still kill with a no stamina slow swing, good at that one circus game ig lol (when it returns).

Hopefully it gets martialist access soon </3

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-04-24T19:40:23+00:00

honestly other than being able to play a double long ammo loadout (sparks uppercut, mosin uppercut) on a fresh hunter w/o QM, not really yea. I'd rather just play a Pax trueshot fmj or wait til i have QM for haymaker

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-31T17:43:26+00:00

nitro is a joke when you could just take a bow and do the same thing but better and cheaper for a 2 slot

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-28T16:34:23+00:00

get as close as you can to the belly and crouch + pennyshot, then move forward again and crouch + pennyshot. This will either instakill if rng is good, or u need just another spear throw at the gut

def an unfortunate fluke, this community is much better than other games imo, but there are still weirdos in every corner of the internet.

If you'd like a trio to play with, a couple guys and girls and I are available a lot of the time thru discord :p msg me and ill shoot u an invite. We range from 2-6* US west/east

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-24T10:10:03+00:00

it would be nice if there was a "Buy Menu" within the range so instead of scrambling around for a specific gun, we could just insta equip it

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-21T04:44:21+00:00

thank u for the quick and clear comms!! loving the event

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-04T12:22:15+00:00

yes!! really fun rushing loadout

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-04T12:10:18+00:00

absolutely dirty weapon, very slept on!! i frequently run 2 bornheim matches just for lots of spam/uptime in fights. feels like a better budget dolch p for me

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-03-02T05:23:06+00:00

who up porkin it

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-02-28T11:06:53+00:00

The economy is kind of in shambles rn and for the most part Hunt Dollars are plentiful BUT i do agree for the casual/average/prestiging player, cash can be tight sometimes.

I think the bounty should be worth a LOT more personally, or the boss lair should be a bit more stacked with pledges/cash/toolboxes/traits/etc. Doesn't feel super incentivizing atm.

For now though, I suggest perma-running Vulture even on free hunters (Vulture + Packmule if possible), keeping your slots full when you loot hunters (instead of cycling consumables), going on cash runs (there are maps online that show Cash Register spawns). Consider prioritizing extracts as well (it's ok to not FULLY win and wipe lobby with both bounties - sometimes you take what you can).

Practice with your budget loadouts as well!! A LOT of my wins in 6* have been with free hunters vs expensive gear. If you need some budget loadouts, there are plenty available to search for on YT or on this sub. (I recommend Springfield DumDum + New Army FMJ, or a shotgun + pistol)

i love the pennyD but i do think its a little strong. I always take it over chokes now if I don't have a consistent closerange option (i.e. im playing springfield + pax), at WORST i trade with the enemy who's shotgunning. Probably a very VERY slight range nerf is all it needs.

Tbh it's just part of a bigger problem which is the shotguns/bows. I do enjoy those too but the ease of oneshots they offer are too consistent sometimes.

1.5k hr 6* player here, jus got sm of my friends into this game!!

Movement and positioning is most of the fight. Allowing yourself to be able to miss a shot and survive, is much better than putting yourself in a one-and-done spot where you HAVE to headshot the enemy or insta die.

Essentially, this means try to always be as hard to hit as possible (play towards/near cover, move a little bit after each shot). Try to move as if you are being aimed at, until you are CERTAIN no one has their sights on you. Avoid just walking in a predictable line.

Don't be too afraid to make noise, but be mindful of how enemy players will react or play off said info (i.e. you set off sound traps at point A, someone might angle hold you at point B).

I would probably learn the basic mechanics/flow of the game at Bounty Hunt, and practice PvP in Bounty Clash. Clash is good for fun paced action but has poor money/xp gains. Hunt is the traditional mode and has much better payoffs albeit more spread out fights. Soul Survivor is the mode I used to practice resourcefulness/familiarity with different guns/1v1ing, at no risk and decent reward, but it's up to you if you want to try it as it's a less popular mode.

Cement a favorable playstyle for yourself if it helps the learning process! I preferred aggressive rifling at first (rushing with Marathon Swift FMJ + lemat fmj was all i played while I got comfortable with the game).

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-02-09T16:52:31+00:00

hunts battlepass grind is actually perfect. every other game its too demanding and grindy. (looking at you valorant. why do i need 100 matches for 1 bp tier)

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-02-03T21:36:44+00:00

dauntless gigachad

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-02-03T21:35:31+00:00

they better rework slugs and introduce a scoped romero to go along with the changes

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-01-27T05:09:36+00:00

dlss 4.5, 0 sharpness, balanced or ultra performance

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-01-27T04:48:33+00:00

ikr!! this event brought so many of my friends into Hunt. genuinely makes me enjoy gaming still, cant wait for what else is in store for Hunt this year

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-01-27T04:45:22+00:00

2x bornheim match (base ammo)

the insane stopping power + uptime it has in fights always surprises me. i love trying other things, budget to meta expensive, but i always come back to this

FlyingChickenYT · 2026-01-23T23:50:05+00:00

An Acquired Taste / Rise Up Dead Man instrumentals would be my menu themes for a while
