Or are the 5 points from Tarot Cards really the difference we needed?

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?

Ian's definitely following Hunt to come up with video ideas haha

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!

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

Thought i share it since i didn't see anyone post it here

got up to six stars, played 25 matches. ~60-65% of games more considerably more boring compared to lower stars

everyone camps and waits, up to point 1 team gets bored and leaves.

how do we fix this and reward exciting gameplay?

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?

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!

I feel no shame.

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

My friends and I are 2 to 3* shitters. Staggered pushes, lack of communication before foolish maneuvers, and getting absolutely nowhere running deringer-only in Clash because we "live without fear in our hearts" is our lot in life. It's peaceful at times and exciting at times.

We enjoy our way of living, and we have no intention of getting better. We're paired most often against 2 to 3* like us. Sometimes we get an odd 4* on a team or 5* solo. Such is life.

But tonight, for the first time, we landed in a lobby we didn't belong in. A trio with two 6 stars. A solo 6 star. A duo with a 6 star and a 5 stars.

We're 2 and 3 star shitters, and we found out that the only people playing Clash after 2 a.m. are people we simply had no right being in the same lobby with.

Best of luck to my 2 and 3 star comrades out there. I hope your hunts all go well unless I'm in your lobby, in which case I hope that you get shot in the face by me.

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

For some strange reason my mic has been muted since about this time yesterday. Im running turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2, I can hear myself in the mic, but have a blue "mute" symbol on the screen. Any assistance with fixing this would be AMAZING, both matches I have played this afternoon were let down by my inability to communicate.

Every session of hunt, the first game I do the game always freezes and disconnects. I literally have to restart my pc to fix this. I stopped playing hunt a year ago because of this issue but it's somehow still here.

This also doesn't happen with any other game. Which leads me to think it's a client issue.

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?

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

Me and my buddies have recently downloaded Hunt off of the PSN store as its free this month. We've spoke about it a bit in the past but never bought so it landed well for us. Especially me as I've always had interest in the game!

However, we got started and the game is super easy? Might get downed once or twice between the 3 of us fighting a boss but most of the other players seem docile.

Is this a case of play it more and the skill based matchmaking will keep lifting us up and up to better lobbies with a better PvP element? Or does it go on gear score? Or how powerful the perks we have on are?

We have played maybe 3 or 4 hours total and we reached 'Tier 2' last night.

I'm also watching some guides on YouTube but its always easier just to ask and chat with people.

Thanks for any help given :)

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

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 😂

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
