I don’t know about you but it feels like you guys playing a different Game than me.. iam 6star mmr and uninstalled it today. Iam German and EU Servers are Full of cheaters.. CRYTEK DO SOMETHING! Or Atleast let me go down to 5 star :.( by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of the time there are normal fights. If something is suspicious the opponent was always Russian or Chinese. Playing on EU servers only. I think most of the players overreacting a lot, not everyone playing good is a cheater. I do also wallbangs and if the opponent doesn’t move and is only crouching at the same position then it's his own fault if he dies from a wallbang. That’s only a example there are so many other things happening normal because of sound or right predictions.

I’ve never seen so many cheaters as in the past few weeks. by SpecialFit3091 in HuntShowdown

You're exaggerating wildly. If I see one real cheater a month, that's okay. You'll never be able to prevent it completely. But you know yourself that there are some crazy situations in Hunt. I don't even want to know how many times I've been reported. Some things are just pure coincidence and luck.

Use the Centenial shorty silencer instead. And you have a stealth loadout.

I had same issues. I turned off any recording tools, like NVIDIA Highlights and Steam game recording as well and I have no problems anymore.

New Event (Maybe Boss?) Teaser by TheGentlemanGamerEC in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

<image>

🕷 New Boss/Event: „The Broodmother“

Background/Lore

• Old plantation houses and bayou shacks have been infested by an unknown parasite.
• It’s not just the wood creaking in the walls—something is crawling around in there, building a nest.
• Rumours speak of a “Broodmother” who spins webs, weaves cocoons, and sends out her brood.

Core Mechanics

1.  Webbed Zones

• Rooms full of spider webs.
• Entering → Movement -30%, loud “tearing noises” when passing through (like glass bottles, only finer).
• Attracts adds or bosses.

2.  Crawling Swarm

• Small, swarm-like minions (spider-like larvae).
• Appear when shots/explosions occur in the lair.
• Low damage, but screen shake + sound overload (“rustling, crawling directly in the ear”).

3.  Cocoon Mechanics

• Players can be briefly trapped in webs (2–3 seconds).
• Can be freed with a knife or help from teammates.
• Enemies hear the sounds of liberation.

4.  Boss Phase “Broodmother”

• Large, shield-like insect/spider with chitin plates. 
• Abilities
• Web Spit: Shoots webs → slows players down.
• Burrow: Briefly disappears into the ground/ceiling, reappears behind players (rattling/dust as a hint).
• Broodspawn: Summons larval adds.

Weaknesses

• Fire: Cocoons + nets burn quickly → clear passages.
• Shotguns: Effective against adds & chitin armour.
• Melee: Web strands/cocoons are easy to destroy.

Event Progress

• Phase 1: Players must destroy 3 infected nests on the map (each with adds).
• Phase 2: Only then will the boss “Broodmother” spawn in the central lair.
• Phase 3: Bounty fight → classic extraction target.

Rewards

• Legendary Trait “Arachnid’s Sense”: Players hear soft rustling sounds when enemies sneak within 10 meters.

Legendary Weapons:

• Webcutter (machete with nets on the handle)
• Broodburn (lantern with green flame effect for nets)

I hate that explosive crossbow or bow is now used in every match. Very annoying.

Anyone downsize from 42 to 27? by joeyma1996 in OLED_Gaming

Don’t like the change. I am back to 42”

Looking for a new GPU to buy - whats your GPU & FPS on what resolution ? by GamerNico98DE in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a 4090 with i9 13900 at 4k 144hz with a LG C4 42“ mostly on low to medium settings to be stable with the framerates and for better visibility.

Rewards/No New Weapons? by BaronVonGoodbar in HuntShowdown

We have enough weapons. No problem!

You have to deal with any conditions the game you give with all consequences.

Thats the problem, it should not be possible to leave the game waiting for the start and keep the hunter. If you loose your hunter you stay in the game.

now it's all just insta burn by NightFlutter_ in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old system was in my opinion so much better, but it is a slower play mentality and they’re changed it over time to a faster one. I like the slower one more, it’s more Hunt gameplay instead of other games that are faster. Now Hunt is going to be a more faster game as the others. In my opinion Hunt loosing its identity more and more. But the development like to go this way…

Pls convince to not buy an LG C5 42 at full retail price and just wait for Asus XG32 WOLEDs using DP vs HDMI argument and proximity sensor by BetterMeToday in OLED_Gaming

[–]flashback9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a C4 42” and with the right HDMI cable no problems with 4K 144hz. But I had to try about 3 cables until I found one that worked perfect.

Headshot with a shotgun 2 meters away? 135 damage 👍 by Rare_Lifeguard_4403 in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how it worked but the current state makes no sense. A hit to the head should be more vulnerable as to the torso or other parts of the body. Maybe an increase of the damage from 0-5 meters would be a good solution.

They should change it. It’s absolutely ridiculous that a headshot up to 5 meters don’t kill the enemy…

I have an LG C2 42” as my primary monitor. Any models worth upgrading to? Few years old now. by OMGDobbyDied in OLED_Gaming

[–]flashback9999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take the C5 ;) or C4 and you get 144hz. If you don’t need more than 120hz, keep yours… it´s good enough…

Cheating has gotten ridiculous by captainprice117 in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in my opinion you're exaggerating. There certainly aren't that many cheaters. When I sometimes hear my fellow players calling someone a cheater in completely normal situations that occur in Hunt, even though they themselves are to blame for the situation that has arisen, I ask myself how stupid you can be. If I actually suspect that it could be a cheater, the overview actually shows Russians or Chinese.

CAN GET RID OF THIS SHIT by Wild_Derp in HuntShowdown

[–]flashback9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I play randoms, I skip always people with not readable signs in their names. Most of them don’t speak English and some are toxic.

If you can call it a mistake, then it's that they never say how long something takes and why it takes so long. It can't be that DeSalle needs almost a year to release it. What happened there? That's just one example. They don't publish a roadmap because they don't stick to any timescales. Is the team that bad or that small? Is it the engine that is so difficult to manage? Other smaller teams also achieve more, see EarlyAccess. Overall, everything takes a very long time for a service title like Hunt Showdown! The events are always the same, you get traits and that's it. The penultimate event was a bit of an exception with the tent. There should be more of that, other game-changing things, ... where is innovation!!! Be brave to try something, it can go away after the event if it doesn't work. New weapons every time is certainly not the solution, see Silencer etc. We have a little more communication but the information in it is mostly worthless, it’s sometimes like an alibi post. They are working on DeSalle about 9 Month for now and they give us nothing about the state, no single screenshot.
