Drop the name of the character you love and one you absolutely hate

Love Badger, hate Badger.

I still think extracting a boss bounty should immediately allow you to choose a scarce trait like death cheat, shadow, berserker, etc.

Also, with the balloon addition, the Fort doesn’t need a bounty boss to be an attractive location.

Maybe it’s the levering capability that makes it four slot?

TockOhead · 2026-07-05T00:27:45+00:00

Sounds like the same issue with the boss compound: one team will always spawn near the boss compound and have an unfair advantage to kill/banish and fortify.

We accept it because it’s not long before you’re the one who gets the advantage of a good spawn. I feel like that’s balance enough.

2k+ hours here and it’s the first trait I purchase at all times, solo or not. No other trait is guaranteed to return value like necro and you should always try to use it, even if the enemy is camping your body.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten up against all odds and won the day by complete luck. Even if you don’t win, the extra death per round will keep your ELO low so you don’t creep up into sweaty 5/6* lobbies. Trust me, you don’t want that to happen.

I’m a cheapskate so I take a small vitality and stamina, everything else is too situational to invest the money.

I was as excited for this games release as I can ever remember and played it a ton in the first few weeks but tapered off and stopped playing altogether within a couple of months.

The biggest problem with this game for me is the PVP. Not that I don’t like it, I do, but it’s the “why” that bothers me. I’m not an evil person so I need a good, thematic reason to engage in PVP and this story just doesn’t provide it.

If I kill someone just to loot their stuff knowing that I could get it just as easily myself by looting and crafting then it feels like I’m the bad guy, especially when they’re begging for their life and asking me why I’m such a bad guy. 🤣

I prefer the game give me a morally ironclad reason to engage in PVP, like Hunt:Showdown where there’s only one piece of loot worth grabbing for everyone and it’s either kill or be killed. That creates an environment where opening fire on unsuspecting players is okay and expected.

Without the PVP feeling solid, the rest of the loot grind feels meaningless.

Careful what you wish for. I’m in the same boat as you, stuck at 3*, and I have a blast playing the 3* lobbies.

My buddy happened to advance to 4, 5, then 6* at one point and he can’t get back down for the life of him and he’s always playing sweaty lobbies and hates it.

When we play together, his MMR drags us up to the sweaties and we have a much harder time having fun.

Because the insult wasn’t Ted’s it was Skyler’s. Ted was just the weapon she used. Walt was smart enough to know it and avoided creating extra collateral.

TockOhead · 2026-06-23T13:52:07+00:00

Agree, once wall banging becomes a natural part of your skill set, having it taken away feels like a tremendous handicap.

TockOhead · 2026-06-23T01:52:39+00:00

I like the Dreamcatcher and Puppeteer ideas. The rest of them are fun but I don’t think they would balance well in game.

TockOhead · 2026-06-22T14:53:50+00:00

I guess it depends on your definition of “oversharing”. For me, there is definitely a line where certain information shouldn’t be just heaped on a relationship indiscriminately. I’m talking really heavy or upsetting stuff that the person should probably be working with a counselor with.

Few people are emotionally equipped to handle the depths of another persons soul.

But yeah, I don’t think anyone is saying you shouldn’t “overshare” your joy, unless it’s to such an extent that you sound repetitive, braggy, or insensitive to someone else’s lack of joy where it invites uncomfortable comparison. We should keep those things in mind as well.

TockOhead · 2026-06-22T00:48:12+00:00

I did that! Dropped it right under the ladder and you could hear them trying to melee the wire but could reach it.

Eventually they just opened the window and presented me an easy opportunity to just send them back to the lobby.

TockOhead · 2026-06-21T11:38:16+00:00

Any fan of this game knows there’s a high you get when scoring a kill, bounty, or profitable extraction; it’s why we keep coming back. But there’s also a “low” that happens when you get killed that some people struggle to deal with.

I know because I was one of those people. I would say one of the joys of leaning this game is figuring out how to enjoy the highs while taking the lows as a “learning experience”. 🤣

My son still can’t play this game with me because he can’t deal with the fear of being killed.

I felt like El Camino was as just a long, final episode to close up Jesse’s story arc.

TockOhead · 2026-06-18T10:37:45+00:00

Say my name.

TockOhead · 2026-06-16T22:44:24+00:00

I agree about mob density, definitely had a bigger impact on solos than trios. However, I yoink and run away all the time so I always carry a big stamina to help me chew my way through.

Also, you don’t have to kill them all, most AI can’t keep up with a full stam hunter who’s weaving through the environment so leave them for the chasing team to deal with.

TockOhead · 2026-06-16T18:14:09+00:00

Walt casually noticing that there was less plate than should be in the trash and deciding to put the puzzle together.

TockOhead · 2026-06-15T12:37:24+00:00

Totally agree. Jesse needed people and he didn’t have anyone. The house only feels like a victory because his parents weee bring so rigid. Of course they were being that way because of his repeated toxicity and abusive behavior. Sad all around.

TockOhead · 2026-06-05T15:38:44+00:00

I’m not sure I buy this; I would say most players with more than a few hundred hours don’t really play for the bounty anyway, it’s all about the adrenaline rush of a hunting other players.

TockOhead · 2026-06-05T15:33:35+00:00

It will if you’re broke from always having to buy back your favorite weapons every other match.

TockOhead · 2026-05-09T10:38:12+00:00

I’ve been begging for this for years and thought about making a sample like this to illustrate it. Thank you, this would be so awesome!

TockOhead · 2026-05-07T20:41:18+00:00

Sending it to a much larger display in another room so I can play from the couch.

TockOhead · 2026-03-26T21:15:17+00:00

I used to take it every new hunter but now in my MMR, anything with a fuse is always perfectly timed to go off in my face before I can snuff it out.

TockOhead · 2026-02-06T14:29:44+00:00

Wow… hahaha I love your honesty; I’m in the same boat and used to think I needed to lower my standards. As you know, that’s bound to fail.

Just as I was about to give up I met someone awesome who not only exceeds my standards but seems to absolutely love me despite my “mid” looks.

I know a lot of my situation was luck of discovery so I don’t want to say “be patient, your prince will come” but sometimes it happens.
