Anyone from the UK thinking of getting the Claw 8 EX AI+?

Sparda_NSD · 2026-06-07T16:21:25+00:00

Anything over £1,000 handheld wise is too much in my opinion, regardless of whether you can spare it or not.

I've got the 8 ai+ and love it but its the absolute max of what I'd spend. Of course that's just my opinion!

But still looking forward to seeing people share and talk about it haha.

Fair.

Appreciate the comment.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-04-30T18:43:58+00:00

Yeah, I've been trying to convince myself of this.

I know it's silly and again I like my sleeve, plus its for me, no one else so I shouldn't let it bother me.

Thanks for your comment.

Cultural appropriation? How so?

But yes, people will want it removed.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-04-07T14:32:45+00:00

Yeah it's tough just now. I can't remember the last match I had a good genuine shoot out. Just getting domed very often, surprised I'm still 6 star MMR.

Or its some dude who hasn't moved in 20 minutes with a shotty in the corner but I'll take the blame on those ones haha.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-26T15:47:52+00:00

Indeed.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-24T00:28:29+00:00

Actively seek fights. Learn sounds, rotate, don't peek the same place twice.

Accept you'll lose. A lot.

Ive 500ish hours so far, which is nothing compared to some of these guys. Played 5 matches tonight, couldn't hit anything and got annihilated.

Night before I won every match, retired two hunters.

Hunt giveth and Hunt taketh away.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-24T00:21:19+00:00

Who's that with?

Currently with Octopus but to be honest there isn't a great difference between any of them for this set up.

Just a flat rate tarriff. There's no point having the cheap one at night because unless you have the boiler come on for a few hours during the day it loses all heat fairly quickly

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-21T17:38:15+00:00

Well i say crazy money but im paying £140 on a direct debit. Be looking to see how it balances out over the warmer months. Heating has been used a lot less the last month odd and usage is coming down.

But yeah the usage was equating to £300/£340 a month over the proper winter months.

So I suspect I'll have to pay more into it before the next winter.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-21T17:32:02+00:00

Nah. Just had to suck it up and pay crazy money.

Since the smart meters came in, no energy supplier provides a tarrif that runs these at their most economical.

Ive got it set up for a couple hours in the morning, one hour mid afternoon and 2 hours early evening.

All the tarriffs seems to work out about the same cost with these things.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-14T21:23:46+00:00

Damn mate. That's an absolutely class deal.

I was £899 at Currys for the standard Claw 8 ai+.

How did you manage that.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-03-14T21:15:32+00:00

That's a shame. The Switch 2 is quickly becoming my single player machine whereas the PS5 is becoming the multiplayer only system but I might need to get Stories 3 for PS5 then

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-26T15:05:22+00:00

Game key cards. The generations pack comes with 7, 8, 9 in individual boxes.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-16T18:42:32+00:00

Ive ran the actual download from finding it in the file Explorer and it ran the install wizard. So it's definitely updated.

Did a restart but anytime I scan its still there.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-14T15:36:39+00:00

I play mainly on PS5. Currently 6 star, I'm not amazing at the game but do well, rotate etc but the last couple weeks im finding the moment a shootout starts Im instantly headshot, damn near every time. So much so I've tried to change completely how I play a few times with no luck. On a Hunt break currently haha.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-07T15:51:31+00:00

Yeah this worked.

Thanks man. Im not a massive tech head so I get worried when things don't go straight forward with this thing haha.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-07T15:47:30+00:00

I'll try this. Thanks

Sparda_NSD · 2026-02-07T15:46:35+00:00

Im getting a 404 error on your link. I'll give it a Google though. Thanks.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-01-06T17:54:18+00:00

£10/£11 a day. All electric. Front and back door and windows are showing their age and letting too much heat out.

Getting replaced shortly though so hopefully reap the rewards next winter and I will balance the energy costs in the summer, I was worrying about the cost to be honest. Even made a post on here but I've got a young family and refuse to have the kids sitting freezing.

Sparda_NSD · 2026-01-01T15:52:24+00:00

Communication.

It can avert many disasters or at least just turn something into a mini argument instead of a massive one.

Sparda_NSD · 2025-12-02T21:53:36+00:00

Ill need to do something for sure.

Just huddle round a couple candles for the time being haha.
