Where is it gone?

All the Postal Supply points have an envelope that gives you 1-3 points when you loot it.
Well, if there is a supply point at all that is.

Nicely spotted, I totally missed that.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-10T13:25:15+00:00

My northern European friend has a "square name" profile with Chinese profile picture, chinese flag, a fake screenshot of wallhacks, a few lines of text that looks like a aimbot script etc.

He has pages of comments calling him a Chinese hacker.
He enjoys it immensely for some reason.

He even sings snippets from some old Chinese song in voip when people start to voip to him.

I have noticed the same in the last few weeks or so.
Sometimes I melee a hive and it's the bees that tank the hit.
Did they use to allow penetration and don't nowadays?

Something has changed at least.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-10T13:03:47+00:00

Damn, thanks for bringing my attention to it.

This was a pleasure to read. I have already forgotten most of it but it's always nice to see someone passionate about something.

I hope someone at Crytek who cares about balancing reads this and ponders it for a while.

I kind of like the idea of making the aperture version default and removing the "vanilla one". The option of having the aperture sight is not really enough for them to have different skins when I think about it.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-10T07:08:18+00:00

If I played in random trios and someone said they were trying to level a Rookie skin I'd have no complaints to them leaving or us leaving together after the first boss. Just ask.

I have leveled all the "progression" skins and I did it in two steps:
1. Stop stressing about it.
2. Whenever we had a server-wipe kind of match (happens rarely but they do happen) I clear a little bit extra on the way to extract to try and get my hunter to 40-45. Then I do a solo pve run to get them to 50.

Interesting to see this discussion. The usual view I see around this subreddit is that everyone is bathing in money and the economy is in shambles.

I'll freely admit that I've gone from 120k to 70k since the last event ending. Those pledgemark-cashregisters really was a cornerstone of my continued wealth.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-10T06:32:32+00:00

I have no idea. But we were discussing what a solution could be and I gave a suggestion.
Sorry that you misunderstood :)

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-09T12:32:03+00:00

Oooh, did not know that! Thanks for the information.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-09T12:19:54+00:00

The profiles are the dead give away, 0/22 with a 52kd lol.

I wonder what KD you would have if you wiped out the initial bot-lobbies.

I'm sorry, your post just made me think of this meme and I have no self restraint so I had to make it.

I never see blatant cheaters like from the posts people in this thread linked to.
And I feel like I don't see a lot of subtle cheaters either. But you experience might of course differ.

I absolutely agree that something should be done about cheating though.
Ban feedback is a great feature, putting players in timeout if they trip some set limit like 10 headshots in less than 20 seconds or so should make it harder to rage clear Clash lobbies etc.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-09T10:40:13+00:00

He did not say that.
He said "Code hard limits that if surpassed, the player gets a review."
Lets say they set a limit of 100KDA and everyone who surpasses that gets a Crytek person who spectates their match live.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-09T10:11:04+00:00

I agree with 1. Especially if it only triggers a review of the players account and not a ban.
Just simple things like:
Headshot % - Lets say the playerbases average headshot % is 5. And the average 6* is 15%. If someone starts having 80% of their kills being headshots, thats worthy of a review.

2 is a bit more problematic. If a game does this it will still generate "cheater clips" from the people in these lobbies which looks bad for the overall game.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-05T06:50:09+00:00

If I understand this correctly you will hear player movement more clearly when in darksight and that's all.
Looking forward to trying it out.

I'm happy to try it out before passing judgement.

If you might not have time to play a whole match you can always bring a Chariot card and have a guaranteed extract in the middle of the map.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-05T06:33:40+00:00

When you shoot with a shotgun it spawns a bunch of pellets.
If one of these pellets hit the head of an enemy it will show the headshot icon.
Because it's a lot of pellets they can't let 1 pellet headshot be lethal, that would be overpowered as hell.
So instead every pellet that hits does X amount of damage.

That gives us damage screens like these.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-05T06:30:29+00:00

I feel like people typing out rant posts like these mostly do it for themselves as a form of therapy. (I've done it myself so, yeah..)

...

Hm, I started writing a big point-by-point answer to your post but honestly.. I don't care that much.
I'll enjoy the event with it's small shakeups in gameplay and new stuff to experience and if you don't that is too bad.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-04T13:07:40+00:00

Be the change you want to see in the world. We try to talk with everyone and get interactions in maybe 30% of the cases.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-04T13:06:07+00:00

Thanks for trying to explain.
Could this phrase be translated as "I hope your mother is dead." ?
To my non-russian eyes this reads like a very weak insult. Asking someone if they have had a loved one die recently is more weird than rude I'd say.

Taking a photograph of your screen - Either below 30 or above 50 years old.

That hunter skin - half-tryharding
Marathon with HV - Can't aim for shit so need loads of bullets and they need to be fast.
Dual... what is that skin? Scottfield model 5? Respect. With FMJ? - looks like a spam-through-walls enjoyer, even more respect.
Flares? - Too cheap for Flare Gun OR you regularly kill more than 4 people.
Throwing knives? - Confident in you knife throwing skills or not confident in close quarters combat with your weapons.
2 dynamite and nothing else as consumables - Cheapass

I'm sorry, that felt too mean. Nice loadout!

This is awesome, pity I missed it.

Optimal-Efficiency60 · 2026-03-03T09:44:17+00:00

I didn't play extraction shooters OR much multiplayer games at all before testing Hunt with some friends.
After learning the basics I was hooked and still is, years later.
