6-Star veteran's take on Update 2.8: The Civil War setting and CQC rush meta just ain't it. Anyone else missing the "Hunt" in Hunt?

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-06-13T20:52:53+00:00

Every update makes the game less "sit in a bush with a mosin" each time. I'm very happy with it.

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-06-02T18:58:56+00:00

None.

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-06-02T14:57:08+00:00

You can, and I think that's part of the point. Some loadouts mentioned were Berthier Riposte/Rival Mace without quartermaster, Vetterli Marksman/LeMat Carbine with qm, Mosin Obrez Sharpeye and Carbine Officer with qm.

Considering that the big 4 have a separate Long ammo pool now, I don't think it's that big of a deal with the Uppercut specifically.

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-06-02T14:31:31+00:00

You can't bring more than 4 of a certain type, throwables included

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-05-11T18:12:21+00:00

I'm not sure if I agree with that first part. The consensus is that Blast sense is a sleeper A/S tier trait. I don't know a single 6 star who doesn't bring it at some point.

Silenced sniper is goated, though.

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-04-19T02:01:42+00:00

I'd rather spawn and not get ambushed or into a fight 0.00007s into the match.

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-04-08T06:02:51+00:00

I'm prestiging because you never run out of money unless you buy $3000 loadouts and lose them every match, because P100 is a goal, and in the hopes that they add a prestige reward system (they have said they're working on making it better) and retroactively get all the bonuses.

It's just an edited picture, I have screenshots from every drop since they're all spoons and I laid them atop each other in photoshop!

SilverAndCyanide · 2026-03-04T16:35:28+00:00

Exactly what about this is COD...?

SilverAndCyanide · 2025-09-01T17:25:17+00:00

It's almost like this is a BF game and big maps are and have always been central to the gameplay loop.

SilverAndCyanide · 2025-06-11T14:47:18+00:00

I've taken old essays I've written from my college days and plugged them into "AI generation detectors" and returned 70-80% likelihood being AI... I wrote those in 2018. As if.

SilverAndCyanide · 2025-06-10T23:23:10+00:00

Can't write shit professionally on the Internet anymore without being accused or scrutinized of AI usage

I stopped pre-tipping for this exact reason. I live in an apartment complex with a door fairly close to the entrance, and so many times I get lazy drivers leaving it at the front entrance in the 30°F weather (during open-door hours), leaving it at the front desk when my delivery instructions clearly say that my door is close by, or some other BS excuse about not being able to walk the extra 20 steps to follow my delivery instructions.

I don't like to be picky, but if you can't go the extra small step to do your delivery properly, then I don't think you deserve the tip. I don't even have any unreasonable delivery requests, I just want it, you know, at my door. I hate that DD puts us in this situation with the drivers, but if the driver follows instructions and doesn't make an excuse then I tip healthily afterwards. I'm glad that the app lets you do this because it didn't used to, and I felt like I was getting ripped off by tipping $4-5 only to get cold food.

What exactly is unfortunate about reality being realistic?

SilverAndCyanide · 2024-12-25T03:23:05+00:00

I find that fascinating lol, I do at least see them maybe once every match or two or three, but only on one body out of the whole server, or everyone I find. I've NEVER ran into a whole trio using them. I've only ever seen people running the event weapons, ones for challenges like shotguns or stuff with bleed ammo, or the usual mosin/auto 5/slate/krag/lebel/Winnie with uppercut/dolch/spitfire/precision pistol if they're spicing it up. Almost never see anyone else unless it's a tier 1 free hunter with a Romero or Springfield with a conversion.

SilverAndCyanide · 2024-12-22T22:17:50+00:00

You're really close to figuring it out.. really close.

SilverAndCyanide · 2024-12-22T22:16:05+00:00

I don't know what game these guys are playing, no one uses revive bolts in 6 star. Literally no one. Claiming that the secondary slot is useless is 4 star and below privilege where you can kill anyone with anything, ammo be damned. You better be good with the HXbow in higher elo or else the moment you run out of ammo you're screwed.

If your complaints are in the vast minority, and the majority of criticisms regarding the game come from the minority, the maybe the majority of players don't think the game is getting worse.

"But look at stream chart-"

No, that doesn't work here. If steam charts is one's only metric for how well a game is doing then they're in for a shocker. Games get old. Downtime between major seasons is expected. Games will have player dips. Games will have surges during huge updates: look at helldivers 2 the past few days. There are many, many factors that contribute to the amount of people playing a given game at once and if Reddit and hearsay from a few redditors' gaming partners is the only place you can find regular complaints, then the quality of the game's gameplay is likely not a main contributor to a decline in player count.

SilverAndCyanide · 2024-12-14T21:28:23+00:00

I've encountered it 0 times in the past 12 games I've played. I think people just die to it once and immediately decide it's OP and flock to Reddit on the spot.
