I can only tolerate up to a certain point but why would you queue up for a Party Queue when you're actually a "Solo" Player or just straight up Selfish.

• Start of the game we run to the closest clue, 5 seconds later, I look at my map- 1 Teammate is 100 klicks away on the opposite end of the map.
• The BOSS is actually where the rest of the team went. LIKE WHY!?!?! are you on the other side.
• Now, the rest of the team is trying to play catch up to the "solo teammate" and we mention in Voice Chat to come back. boss is on us- NOPE, they keep going.
• They get into a firefight with another team and die. No back up cuz we're still trying to get to them. We try to revive them- NOPE! They log out of the game even though we killed the other team.

Another round....

• You can already tell this one teammate is a solo player cuz they run the opposite way, so we go change direction to follow them.
• Voice Chat - none.
• We type in-game chat- no response.
• Team gets to boss, banishes boss.... SOLO Teammate jumps out of the building to "Stay outside" in the open for enemy engagement- WTF moment. FUCKING WHY move out of your defensive post? we have all 4 walls and all entrances are trip wired. Why go outside?

I also had a wonderful experience where 1 SELFISH Teammate yoinked and dashed and extracted in the middle of a firefight, we even revived their selfish "personality" right outside a window where they died. Next thing we know, mid firefight, "Selfish Teammate Name Extracted with Bounty Token"

Does long ammo rifles rule all the other guns like medium and or compact ammo as far as I understand I might be wrong but standard long can penetrate ( gigigi) brick wall? Why bring a compact or medium if the long ammo has less damage fall off better penetration and in general hits harder

It's legit just pussy tactics all match. No one pushes, no one does shit. All just long range shots. Boring as fuck. Why're the devs rewarding ego players who don't know how to act like actual gun tooting cowboys that run around in assless chaps and shotguns with more stars? Is it to make them feel special?

I’m still a pretty new player so forgive me if this sounds awful. I’ve been wanting to unlock the Avtomat but it seems rather weak? From what I’ve seen it has no reserve ammo, it’s incredibly expensive, it becomes rubbish past mid range (The way I see it it’s a close range shredder) and not to mention it takes up 5 inventory slots so unless you bring quartermaster you cannot have any other weapons

Is the Avtomat powerful enough to justify the plethora of downsides it comes with or is it not worth using/needs a buff?

:(

I am trying really hard to get the "level any hunter to 50" achievment and it's so hard. I won a solo match, killed 6, extracted with 1 token, and then won a 3 squad match with like 2 kills and 4 tokens, then another that went about the same.

Even then I was only level 44.

This match, no one challenged the boss or tokens, but waited by extract and ambushed us from a distance.

And no wonder, I am on tier 2 of MMR range and they have 3 and 4. Clearly much more skilled and higher level.

I know there's plenty of tips here how to get to 50 its just getting disheartening when something as BS as this happens to end it.

They had amazing tracking, map knowledge, gun skill, and teamwork.

Nothing against them, but I should not be matching this, and it just makes me so sad that if it had been less skilled players I may have had a good shot and been able to finally get this mission done.

I do feel like the game knows and throws obstacles in the way to prevent people hitting 50, especially if they have that mission, or maybe my bad luck is ungodly.

This is just a rant, and idk where else to put this because none of my friends play lol.

I love this game, this was a good game, and im juet so distraught 😂

We started playing 2 weeks ago and I'm addicted but he is really struggling with pvp decisions and aiming . He struggles with all weapon types , ranges and often loses our fights due to this . I do practice fights with him in the range to help him but he just gets frustrated . I have experience in pvp from when I played bf3 , bf4 and bf1 and I was always top 10 in every game so I try to transfer that knowledge over but he doesn't have any real pvp experience to draw from and he's 40 so not the quickest to learn . Any tips guys would be appreciated as I really don't want to play this game alone PC BTW

To me it looks like a bearded older man in a suit.

Hey hunters,

I'm a dev and a long-time Hunt player, and I've been building a fan site with everything I wished I had in one place: https://beforethehunt.com

The highlights:

• Automatic progress tracking: a small Windows helper reads your Hunt progress and fills in /progression for you. No typing in unlocks by hand. As far as I know, no other Hunt site does this.
• Community event tracker: a dedicated page at /event showing the current stage, rewards, objectives and the live global progress
• Bestiary: every creature with its health, damage zones and penetration table, plus status effects and the event monsters, all pulled from the game files
• Interactive map: all four maps with compounds, lairs, workbenches, clues, spawns and extractions, with toggleable layers

Also on the site:

• Loadout builder: pick weapons, ammo, tools, consumables and traits, and it tells you instantly whether the kit is valid, how much capacity is left and which ammo is scarce. You can share any kit with a link.
• Weapon pages and damage lab: one page per weapon with stats, ammo, damage and sounds, plus real damage falloff curves from the game files
• Leaderboard: KDA and MMR rankings
• Weapon of the Day: a new pick every day
• Learn weapon sounds: train your ear to tell guns apart by sound
• All skins: browse every skin in the game
• Plus: weapon comparison, a tier list, a random loadout generator, community kits, guides, and English and Portuguese versions

About AI: yes, I use AI tools to build this. It's 2026, and I've been using AI at work since 2021, on top of 9+ years as a developer. It's a tool, not autopilot. I've spent over two months on this to make it as solid as it is now. It's a side project, and I haven't made a cent from it.

I'm from Brazil, and a big reason I made this is the South American community. We don't even get translated patch notes anymore, and almost every Hunt tool out there is English-only. So the whole site is also in Portuguese, to bring in players who'd otherwise be left out of all this.

It's free, and it's a fan project not affiliated with Crytek. I'd love to hear what's broken, what's missing, or what you'd actually use. Thanks!

The empty slot can be anything. Usually frag but anything works.

Recently got the game on PS Plus. Any tips and stuff is welcome! I play solo and teams.

I've been playing a lot of Solo Bounty Clash to hone my pvp skills, and every time I've been chatting up a storm in game chat, yet literally 0 people have responded once in several days of playing. So, is the game chat disabled by default and has to be opted into?

Console btw, if that changes anything. Idk I'm pulling at straws here I just want answers

I feel no shame.

Can someone explain to me wtf even happened here? Yes i know i missed the second shot (im bad) but he should have been dead af after the first one no?

It's kind of fitting that in the end the devs chosen to make it a tool

I have found the katana usually wins, you can't shoot me if I'm behind you

Repost with MUCH MUCH better Image compacting

For the record, We wondered if Vulture has specific ammo value on looting so my good Slavic Friend over here did the test for me since he found downed Hunter with Various Loadouts, turns out it literally gives EVERY LOOTED AMMO TYPE Flat 2 Numbers meaning if you have every weapon type you'll get 2 Nitro Rounds/Explosive Crossbow to 2 Compact Ammo, So... WTF 😭😭😭 Why are you keep nullifying your main Balance aspect of these already powerful weapons.

These Balancing aspect of Ammo Economy can either do nothing but bandaid fix or straight up becoming absurd problems if they didn't considered factors like Vulture+ ( Catalyst )

My stance is, Vulture+ should act like Ammo Box Supply found in map instead of "Everything given Flat 2", so Compact Ammo is looted 8, Medium 6, Long Ammo 3, Special Long ammo 2 accordingly, Because I think the "Lesser" Ammo should get benefits equally to Strong Ammo, 2 Compact ammo means nothing compared to 2 Nitro for example

Which means, while in fight, Looting 1 guy would be nothing to 1 weapon type that's already underused, but very substantial to something like Mosin Nagant where it's balanced around how hard it is to resupply.

I don't think 2 Compact Ammo per loot is enough bruh

I play on the US East servers daily and trades arent usually too bad since the rework a few years back

But today the trades have been outrageous, dying to someone who's already dead, or even after their falling animation is completed. Anyone else having bad trades today?

Close to extract I’ve noticed people getting

Disconnected just out of the blue right away. Me and a random were gonna go get some xp around the map whilst we could with no one on the map. And our 3rd just regularly extracts. But the 2nd came with me. And he was outside of the extract zone by a decent bit. I go to walk away to kill the bear expecting him to be behind me and he just disappears without a trace. Bodies gone as well. Didn’t even get the sound of a disconnect. Fast forward a couple games me and another 2 randoms have the bounty and are doing the same thing getting xp. The other 2 bounties have walked to the extract a decent bit into the game. And suddenly we just notice they are chilling on the extract so we assumed they were camping. And their bodies are just both there dead. No traps or nothing to assume they’ve been killed. Idk what the hell happened really but there’s nothing to make sense of that. I’ve never experienced disconnection at extract. Yet….. lemme know if yall have experienced something of the sort.

Queued up for randoms trios on xbox. We played a match and all died. When I get back to the lobby the same two are there with me and I have the option to leave party. We not friends on xbox, I dont know how we got in a party. We all thought it was weird but went ahead and played a second game and won. After getting back to the lobby we were all still together. This has not happened before or since, is it going to be a new feature? Is it a bug? Or does it exist and im just oblivious?

Honestly, if you're tired of running solo with random teammates who don't ping or use their mics, we’ve been there. We started Hunter’s Outpost to fix that. It’s a dedicated Discord server for Console players (PlayStation & Xbox) who love Hunt: Showdown 1896.

It doesn't matter if you just picked up the game today or you're a seasoned 6-star veteran with hundreds of hours in the bayou, everyone is welcome here. The main rule is pretty simple: no toxicity. We're just looking to build a chill, normal community where people can actually get along, make friends, and hunt together.

We have text channels to look for games and talk strategy, plus clear voice channels so you can easily squad up and communicate with your trio across platforms. If you've been looking for a regular group and a place to call home, the Outpost is where you belong. Grab your gear and come hang out!

My gosh, I don’t know how to aim, the last time I killed someone in a fair shoot was when I were a recuit below 11 ya know.. I’m 30 something and I’m so shite, and the game Isn’t easier if I team up, we just get destroyed by hunters while the boss moggin us.. at least when I’m alone I can just scamper along and dodge players.. sometimes, if I don’t get one shot by a omnipotent hunter I was trying to shoot from behind

Question for yall, I really like the game! Does it take long to get good, is it worth it? Cause I’m beginning to regret ever installing that game.. because I’ll play again tonight, I’ll die again and I’ll cry again ;~;
I’ll take about any tips really xx
