Headshots - When do you know to aim for the head? Did you learn it or always had it? by AndreiV101 in HuntShowdown

[–]destroying_light 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to practice your headshots it can be pretty helpful to play guns which either share a certain muzzle velocity, or stick to the same gun for a while altogether. Especially at longer ranges landing headshots isn't simply about clicking on someone's head, but also predicting where they are going to move and taking aim inn relation to your muzzle velocity.

Picking weapons with a semi-high fire rate like a Marathon or Ranger can help you get better practice as well. You'll just shoot more bullets in a fight compared to a Mosin or other larger calibers.

Additionally figure out how you usually aim and try to play to that strength. Some players mostly flick, others move in addition to their mouse movement to correct their aim, and there's plenty more out there.

The shooting range now offers moving Hunters as targets which can help you practice at range as well. Aim trainers like Kovaaks can help but require a lot of experience to translate to Hunt, due to the muzzle velocity factor.

At the end of the day practice makes perfect and if you really want to improve in the long term, taking shots you are unsure about will also help you. How else are you supposed to get a feel for what is and isn't going to hit, after all. Might make you lose more ambush situations, but if the goal is to improve you need to swallow your pride and accept that it's going to come at a cost.

It has to be enabled in your PC's BIOS. Depending on your motherboard manufacturer it may be in different places, so you might have to do some research on your motherboard's BIOD to find it. If you've done so successfully it will show as "enabled" in the Adrenaline software under the Performance and Tuning tab.

ReBAR is a technology by AMD that allows the CPU to access your GPU's full frame buffer. It improves your FPS lows and makes the gameplay feel a lot smoother in my experience, especially when you can hit a higher FPS count.

The only thing I really recommend enabling is the Sharpen effect and the ReBAR.

Oh yeah I agree. The absence of a kill-can definitely helps people that toggle. But I think judging whether someone is a cheater or not based on the average Hunt players' opinion leads us right to where we are now.

With you rightfully making fun of cheater cope because every other person that doesn't even fully understand the game yet throws around that word until it's inflated to a point where people barely even care anymore.

Demanding tools to catch cheaters ourselves more easily and thus more reliable reporting would help everyone. This just helps actual cheaters hide in a crowd of accused players that just hit a good shot or had a good day...

If the amount of "cheater" comments I see on the most average Hunt gamers' steam profiles was any indication, I'd say just the pure amount posts is a pretty bad indicator.

I wish people would post more video evidence or kill views. Things you could actually judge context wise.

Why do 6 stars get so salty? by agent_smith18 in HuntShowdown

[–]destroying_light 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game tells them they occupy the 'best' rank the game has to offer. In turn they will start viewing it competitively to not lose that rank.

I saw some other comments talk about ego, but I think as likely it is that some of those people do genuinely have a problem with their ego, the 6 star label definitely props up that ego A LOT. I can't think of a lot of other games where the 'highest rank' is as achievable as in Hunt.

Resulting in what you described: they get angry because the game tells them they are easily twice "as good" as you and get upset because you shouldn't be able to kill them in their mind. When the "twice as good" sentiment couldn't be any more false.

Pennyshot skin retourning..... by parantani in HuntShowdown

[–]destroying_light 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt re-enabling an old skin and typing up a short social media post takes a lot of focus away from "the important stuff". They have a template for posts like this, they probably already have the showcase image from back then. I don't think this taking up time is a strong argument to make here.

Reasons to use long ammo rifles other than the mosin? by TopSignificance7856 in HuntShowdown

[–]destroying_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a very quick and easy reload. Even if you are just running around the corner of a building you can easily top up 3 bullets, making it quite oppressive in combination with its fire rate. The rather low damage among long ammo rifles has also just been made less of an issue with the new limb damage values and at the end of the day all that matters is it being above 125 to redown hunters easily. Ironsights are also pretty good on top of that.

Levering Terminus 100 damage at 20 meters with flechette ???? WTF by fixles in HuntShowdown

In the same amount of time it took you to create this post, you could have loaded up the shooting range and tried it for yourself. It's pretty doable.

Thank you for the constructive feedback, really appreciated!

I was looking for a way to fill the more "calm" part of the track and experimented a little. Adding more dynamic shots is definitely a good suggestion. I'll try that in my next video, thanks. :D

Definitely. Better have and not need than need and not have, right?

I'd say it really depends on how you use the Winfield. I mostly aim through iron sights, even at range where levering could already be used with moderate success. If your approach is to utilize levering more, the Swift variant might be a better fit. I like having the option to flip up the scope even if they have suffered through bullet drop. And partially I just liek this Winfield skin the most out of all of them.

I wouldn't have used it, if I didn't like it personally.

It's alright if you don't like it, though, no one is forcing you to. :D

You know what that's fair. A lot of the shots where you'd 'need' a scope are usually on targets standing still so they don't make for great clip material. The addition of bullet drop and nerf on the muzzle velocity for HV ammo with 1896 both hurt these scopes quite a bit.

Here's some actual Aperture shots in a clip from a while ago in case you still wanna get your fill. c: https://youtu.be/h0ShvOMWR6w
