7 Considerations when making a Loadout in Hunt: Showdown

[@johnekare8376]

Great video! I agree that the variety of the arsenal is a key feature of the game. I have to admit that the new summons system together with the recent questlines have made me re-discover weapons and consumables that have been collecting dust for a while. I hope you get better soon.

[@LeuvahkTrigger]

The most important consideration to take into account is how quickly you can recover from your confusion when you get revived with nothing but an executioner axe as I run for extraction with your Avtomat.

[@ezrazander]

lol i like that

[@nunull6427]

Bring derringer and fists, profit

[@LeuvahkTrigger]

@@nunull6427 No,no. You're missing the point. If they wake up and they have nothing, they are confused and annoyed. If they wake up holding the very weapon that killed them, they will chase you across the map, with a level of bloodlust that is hilariously legendary.

[@sonopegrapher8628]

Best consideration is to consider how to fit a centennial into a loadout, everything else is optional. Feel better soon!

[@Thekilleroftanks]

Simple, pax or dual paxs. The cent needs the added ammo so anything but medium ammo is out of the option, and that means pax or the scotfield. And well the scotfield is just the worse option. For 3 dollars less.

[@roe__jogan]

@@Thekilleroftanks uppercut

[@r4tte]

@@Thekilleroftanks one thing to consider though: you can get scottfields for free (all variants, even the spitfire) from the free hunters, but not pax. Therefore I always take a contraband scottfield with me and save some money

[@Thekilleroftanks]

@@r4tte but that's literally scrapping the bottom of the barrel to bring it. Also unless you constantly die, money in this game isn't an issue unless you constantly bring out expensive loadouts. Which you aren't doing if you're bringing a pax or scottfield

[@r4tte]

@@Thekilleroftanks totally agree. However, as a bargain hunter saving money wherever I can actually brings me a lot of joy. Therefore, I rarely buy a Pax but always use a contraband Scottfield instead.

[@troll5262]

One thing that I personally keep in mind; Immolators. They are massive pains IF you aggro one. They can only be killed(without exploding that is) by using blunt, poison or choke. While the blunt of most weapons will be enough, it usually uses all your stamina. Meaning if you have half, you'll take some damage or more trying to kill it by flailing. That's why I try to keep one good blunt damage option on me unless I have poison shots OR a handcrossbow with choke bolt.

[@IsoGameguy]

Knuckle knife is de way

[@troll5262]

@@Alex-hi6yf That is included in the good blunt damage options... I far prefer a knife as its much easier to one-tap enemy hunters with in a pinch. I also try to bring either a heavy knife or throwing axes too to have an option to clear concertina unless I got a weapon that can do it(i.e talon variants). Dusters are my last option, really. Much rather bring a poison silenced nagant or hand crossbow if I can.

[@evanfishsticks8010]

One point I feel this video articulates well is that Hunt is balanced around an idea that no one weapon is able to do it all. Each weapon has its own niche, and a Nitro can be brought down by a Nagant if you aim for the head. However, there is one weapon that seems to flaunt this rule. It has a ridiculous fire rate, an ammo pool that can be combined with other weapons for even more lead slinging, high penetration power, and its ammunition type gives it additional range over other weapons. I am of course talking about the infamous Caldwell Conversion Chain Pistol with Fanning and Full Metal Jacket ammo. ...You thought I was gonna say the Avtomat, didn't you?

[@robin98464]

I do get your point, also i have to say i like the shared ammopool. For once it would be strange if you just couldnt use your spare ammo of one gun in the other if it fits. But more important i like the options you get from this and how it changes the way you can use certain guns.

[@calvintrouy2672]

@@cassidy8307 I used to agree, but pairing it with dual sparks pistols makes it insane. It doesnt need to be accurate, because you have nearly 45 shots. Shots that would be stupid to take before because of the accuracy become trivial because losing ammo is no problem at all. Ive never made it to 6 star, but using it in 5 star feels pretty dirty. I would know, because its been my favorite weapon for years now, and it WAS a meme before. But... Now its not.

[@brylythhighlights4335]

I've been insisting on running things that have 'field' in their name of late. A Springfield and a Scottfield will very rarerly do you dirty, especially since they share an ammo pool. You can also run a short Springfield and a precision Scottfield :P

[@Nerak516]

The one thing missing is sound. This guide is great. As someone playing solo I always consider sound in my loadouts as well. If I don't bring a gun with silencer I usually bring a throwing knife or axe. It can be incredibly important to have a stealth option. In group play this is less important. Solos often live or die on sound awareness.

[@superguy183828]

3:15 obligatory notice for people now watching the video that this is now outdated. Carrying two weapons with the same ammo type has been nerfed, such that ammo boxes found in the world only replenish each ammo type once. Specifically, ammo boxes in the world currently give back 2 long ammo, regardless of how many long ammo guns you are holding in your loadout. But a single box interaction will give back 2 long ammo and 20 compact ammo if you are holding one or two guns that use long ammo and one or two guns that use compact ammo. So carrying same ammo type is still a bigger starting pool of ammo, but mixing ammo type let's you get back much more ammo

[@cassidy8307]

Cost - You can also find weapons in towers (especially the big ones) and occasionally on top of boxes or on the floor. In the most recent update, I found 2 uppercuts lying around next to clues in bounty hunt. (Quickplay also offers free weapons if you win) Range - Medium pistols only have marginally better damage at range than compact, but long ammo pistols are a significant jump in damage. Also, use FMJ or Dumdum ammo for better damage at range. Utility - Hand Crossbows are actually pretty nice for PVP. It's a super cheap, small slot shotgun. More range than lemat and melee, does bleed damage on surviving players, and the secondary bolt utility is nice.

[@mariusillmann6601]

5:50 thats predy helpfuel, thanks

[@xInsane333x]

Personally, when I'm making a loadout to jump into a game, there are a few things I usually try to cover. First is range: at least being able to reach out to medium range is enough for me, so medium ammo pistols or a bow is fine. Second is having something for close range, whether that be a rapid-firing pistol, a shotgun, a bomb lance, something like that. If these first two are covered by a single gun well enough (ie, a Winfield), then I take a utility weapon, like something for extra ammo, a hand crossbow with regular and poison bolts, or a cavalry saber. Third, I want a ranged quiet weapon for taking out PVE, so that hand crossbow or throwing axes for example. Blunt melee if I don't have a full length gun without a bayonet/talon or just don't feel like messing with immolators. Medkit always. Choke bombs always. If I have a slot left over, I've been using poison trip mines. Then I always take a weak vit shot, and at the moment I've really liked taking a fire bomb and two hive bombs. Example builds: Flechette Caldwell Rival with Sparks Pistol with regular and poison ammo, throwing axes, medkit, chokes, poison trip mines, weak vit shot, fire bomb, two hive bombs. Works fine without perks and even better with Poison Sense. Silenced Vetterli HV with a hand crossbow with poison and normal bolts, same equipment setup as above. Sparks/Martini Henry with a Nagant Officer Brawler. Romero Hatchet or shorty Caldwell with a hunting bow, dusters, medkit, chokes, weak vit shot, fire bomb, hive bomb and stamina shot or two hive bombs. Note- only works well if you are comfortable hitting cross-compound shots with the bow. Hitting an arrow then chucking a hive bomb when they try to not bleed out is hilarious.

[@itszaque5031]

Something worthwhile to mention in the traits section: occasionally Mr Chary’s contract will give you 2 upgrade points for all owned hunters. This can be taken advantage of as these points will stack if unused. I have had a ton of fun building around traits by stacking these up to high enough values that let you play everything from levering to poison sense to bolt thrower. To give this a try you can purchase up to 50 Hunter slots and fill each of those slots with Hunters. As you play keep every a lot full and overtime you will earn tons of chary contract upgrade points. It makes build crafting really fun, especially if you have extra money. Currently I have 43 hunters with 8 trait points available, eventually there’s a real possibility I can bring doctor+a trait of my choosing on every Hunter I own.

[@altofant]

Another tip, on fresh prestige’s I try to buy a lot of legendary hunters, since you have less traits it’s more likely you will have “good” ones, also playing quick play to unlock stuff faster

[@pant0sand0hat]

Winnie C and hand crossbow with 1 poison bolt, knuckle knife, a couple $10 stims ,decoys and 1 wax dynamite is my budget go to.

[@ragerontilt4778]

Range is my primary concern with guns. Close range specifically. Close range is the most dynamic and the hardest to control. Shotgun has you covered, but if you have a rifle primary I think best pistol side arms are spitfire, nagant officer or new army (I don’t like new army but it fits). If you have fanning take the single action of choice. And if you like pistols other than those feel free, but I do think you are handicapping yourself. Once you are more comfortable controlling distance, you can move away from the faster pistols for some flavour

[@Sovreign071]

As a perpetual solo, there are four categories I want in my loadout. -Power. -Rate of Fire -Stealth. -Precision. Obviously, not many weapons fit all 4 categories. Romero has Power, but lacks the other three. The base Winfield has RoF and Precision, but not stealth or Power. I'm excluding budget because it depends on the player.

[@Sadeyr]

My biggest restriction for loadouts in Hunt is the lack of blunt options. The only real one, unless you are going obrez, is the officer. The scottfield brawler has all the downsides of the spitfire but none of the upsides, making it just a really bad scottfield. But, with a blunt gun attachment, I can run axes, medkit, chokes and decoys, which is my preferred tool kit. Always trying to find a way to slip in blunt for that reason. My go-to all-round loadout is the Winfield(usually C) with HV, lemat with FMJ and slugs, knuckle knife, axes, medkit, chokes(if I use an officer over the lemat I swap KK for decoys), then x2 vit, one random consumable, and a stam shot. Works for pretty much everything I could need, I don't think I've ever really felt like I was out of my effective range(either close or afar) with this loadout. That said, snipers and people really good with iron sights + long ammo can outrange the Winfield, but with the effective range buff and HV, you're going to be competing with them in almost all situations. If they are beyond the effective headshot range of the Winfield, they're far enough away that you can just walk away. So I've never had issue with that.

[@drugsarebad97]

I always use a legendary hunter and form my load outs around the traits it came with. And after i win a match my personal favorite is to go quartermaster bulletgrubber and ambidextrous , so i can run a mosin/berthy and dualie scotfields/Caldwells .unless of course it originally came with bolt thrower or somthing like that, then I’d usually stick with crossbow and then just throw a precision scotfield or short winnie with it. Main thing to remember is always make sure you have a short range and long range option . If your going to rock a double short range load out you better hope you don’t run into a fight out in the open

[@MrPistoleroGun]

This is a very good video for newcomers and even veterans who want to understand deeper how the game works when it comes to loadouts ! Is there a place to see the bulletpoint of ammo types/penetration ? Would be nice to finally know what the hell can go through what in most cases. I also love the fact unlike some "loadout tutorials" out there who tell you what to pick, you explain what decisions lead to which results. It is nice to not be told to play dual long ammo or to play only certain specials, but to make a choice thinking of fun + effectiveness with all options in the game. In the end hunt is that one game where even the Derringer can headshot one shot, so fun should be a given. (Hell, this halloween event forcing me to play guns i hate has shown me how much even with my usual aiming skills and mobility, fun has been the thing that carried me all the time T.T ) Looking forward for more content from you, and good luck out there to y'all in the Bayou [T]7

[@Entitusschule]

When I build my loadouts I always try to have everything possible for every situation. This mostly includes a long shotgun with a short rifle like mosin or springfield. And I also always try to bring tools, which help myself, the team and are useful overall. I alsp try to match them with my main weapons. With this attitude I worked my way up from a 3 star to a 6 star.

[@stevencolor3389]

On the topic of weapons part of the loadout: many guns have different varients with optics, there tends to be: An iron sight variant, best for shorter ranged fights, struggles at longer ranges A deadeye variant, kind of like having a acog or some other lower power scope, gives some help at range without crippling the gun too hard up close (my personal favorite) A marksman variant, has like an 8x scope, great for distance but will likely force you to hipfire or swap to your other weapon for fights in a compound A sniper variant, has like a 20x scope, you better bring a reliable sidearm as any fight within a compound is going to force you to use the sidearm On the topic of the rest of the loadout: Equipment section Make sure you bring a way to kill immolators without causing them to explode if you plan on living, of the melee choices, they hate blunt so either gun butts with a non bladed gun variant or dusters or the knuckle knife with the punch attack Medkits are obviously critical, without perks it heals for 50 hp with each use for a total of 150 so long as you live long enough. With perks you can get 100 per charge. Choke bombs can save a teammate from burning, make noise and make a sound trap. Traps are great for the banishing phase of the boss fight, they come in a few flavors and can give you a warning and/or seriously harm enemy. Consumables section Regen shots may provide slow healing but they last 5 minutes at the lowest level, pop it before a fight to get a ticking of health back while doing other tasks, helps shrug off damage during a bossfight or to heal while dodging/firing back at another play so long as you were not one-shot. Vitality shots, the lowest level is a quick use medkit essentially Molotovs are incredibly important as they can, block off areas as fire is very deadly, do a large amount of damage to every boss besides the butcher and burning bodies. Burning bodies is important as if one memeber is a team id alive, every downed player can be recovered with reduced hp, burning a body reduced the health further and eventually kills the player, burning a body therefore forces the living members to act faster to safe their ally, does more perminant damage and potentially forces them to stay understrength if the player leaves or is burned out.

Hey HomeReel! I was hoping to ask for an in depth analysis covering all shotguns. You tend to explain things the best and frankly, I just like your commentary.. and shotguns..

[@benpoke]

Just found your channel and just wanna say this was very well done and helped me out as a new player.

[@DangStank]

The first loadout I was head over heels for was a simple lemat and ax. (And throwables and heals of course) Cheap enough to take every game, but having enough ammo to last through a fight and having enough chopping power to easily slay a bounty. Those were the days before the ax had any legendaries and I wanted to be fancy so I started using other stuff.

[@rooster4382]

If you’re taking custom ammo, try to find something that takes the same custom ammo Ex: Winfield Vandal +dual Conversions w/fmj give you 64 rounds in reserve, which in my experience nullifies the problem of special ammo rarity

[@J.B.90]

I like to pick the weapon I intend to use, and then a secondary that compensates for any weaknesses. Like a double action pistol to compensate for single shot or sniper weapons at short range.

[@GabrielGomes-ls9de]

i love the work your putting in these news videos, me as a begginer watch em all. great work!

[@diegobahena1274]

Sprinfield Compact Deadeye + Dual Conversions with FMJ is one of my favorite loadouts.

[@selfawaremeatpuppet413]

[@selfawaremeatpuppet413]

@@LeuvahkTrigger I like that combo, I've been doing Bow + Specter or Vandal deadeye + Caldwell handcannon

[@RichyN25]

my go-to budget loadout is the 1866 Springfield and a Scottfield revolver, med kit and knuckles, add choke bombs if playing with friends, super cheap, long to short range, and shared ammo, add consumables as needed

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

scottfield spitfire might be the strongest handgun in the game atm too. It does everything

[@phrikaphrak40k]

I don't think there is a stronger loadout in the game than Specter Bayonet + Mosin Obrez Mace. It's obviously a quartermaster build, so you will need at least that perk, but you get some great benefits. Sharp and blunt melee on your main weapons means you have your toolbar free for any tools you like. My go to is throwing axes, medkit, concertina trip, and chokes. For consumables I take a big regen, big stamina, concertina bomb, and a frag. The best perks for the build are conduit, silent killer, and packmule. This build can really do most everything, and it's not really perk reliant, perks just make you that much stronger. You can fight close with a shotty+bayonet, and pump out long ammo with the obrez. The concertina and smoke allow you to set up with area denial and utility. The concertina bomb allows you to hold down bodies, block entrances, or deploy mobile cover for your teammate that died in the open. Frags are just strong and the shots are the most cost efficient at keeping you in the fight and doing a better job than the stamina perks. You could play around with it and see what you think.

[@RadioactiveLobster]

My go to loadout is: Primary: Gun I miss with Secondary: Pistol I miss with Tools: Knuckle Knife so I can accidentally stab immolators, Medkit, chokes and throwing axe that I only hit arms with so it never one hit kills AI thus alerting everyone around. Consumables: $200 in Stam shots so you go bankrupt faster, Big vid shot that I'll die before getting a chance to use and frag/explosive that I'll forget I have in the middle of a fight and that probably could have been put to good use.

[@sognar2240]

equip and consumables are barely a consideration tbh - it's always a med kit, knuckle knife, chokes and throwing axes plus molotov, and a couple of healing syringes for me. So all you have to consider really is that one last consumable. Usually it's either flash bomb\grenade or a regen shot

[@Niklas.K95]

Tactics Damage/One-Hit/Fire-Rate/Trapper When playing solo you really need to think about tactics Drain them of heals without exposing yourself to much? Going for the shotgun/bow/crossbow in cqb and take one out before they even now that you exist? Land enough hits in a short amount of time to justify exposure? Sit it out and ambush distracted enemies? The most insane loadouts can work if played to there strengh

[@swedisheinherjer]

So when I use a shotgun build... I get sniped... So when I use a sniper build... I get Lanced... So when I use a melee build.. I get dual-wielded/or shotgunned... So when I use a rifle build... I get pistoled/or dual pistoled... So when I get a bow build... I get a bundle of TNT in my face... So when I use my own meta... I''l be poised by a hive, burned by an Immolator and eaten by Hellhounds at the same time! And that's because I play Hunt on PS4... Hunt Showdown ain't no joke man... Enjoy your gameplay ya'll!

I find competitive PvP to be the most fun so obviously you see me running both good and good/fun guns like mosin/lebel, martini/sparks, lemat carbine/officer carbine, Romero Alamo, still have never used slate before. Sometimes I use bomb lance and full crossbow. Secondaries I run Caldwell conversion, uppercut, poison silenced nagant, nagant officer, lemat, scottfield spitfire, and Caldwell pax. Do I have fun? Yes. Have I ran centennial sniper more times than I'd like to admit? Hell yeah. Do I main it? God no. Give that to the martini spitfire combo. This game is fun. I think I'll go for 6 star.

[@EMonty07]

Lebel + Incendiary Bornheim is my random loadout that I ended up loving. Otherwise its usually Martini Riposte + Spitfire One tip to add to the ammo part of the video is swapping weapons that share the same ammo pool off dead hunters, then swapping back. This really shores up any ammo fears for Mosin/Lebel, but doesn't cover much if you are using Special ammo as it is less likely to find a match (these questlines aside!). It's a given once you play awhile but not obvious to new players. Love the vids Home, thanks!

[@PeppercornBingBong]

Dearest Home, allow me to share an opinion with you. I suggested it on the Hunt ideas discord, but of course that went no where and I wanna see what you think. The act of banishing a monster needs to be reworked. If finding clues for a monster requires a 3 second animation, why is banishing literally just pressing a key? If you’re sending a powerful, magical monster back back to hell, shouldn’t that take time to do, even if it’s just a few seconds? Here’s my idea: Make a banishing animation. The length would be like 5 seconds. The hunter pulls out a small pocket book with blood etched symbols in one hand, and puts their other hand in front of it, and quietly whispers some stuff to initiate it. That way people can’t just sprint by the monster corpse, not even look at it, and somehow send it back to hell. It doesn’t make sense to me that clues require time standing still, and those aren’t even the monster itself. I think it would be really neat, and would force more caution/strategy when banishing. (And it would look super cool and immersive and badass)

[@aleseaux]

I feel like the consideration of this is backwards, because the only real reason banishment isn't automatic is so that you can get situated, revived, etc, and choose when you want the map to see you. The reason it's a button at all is a quality-of-life thing for the players, not a limitation.

[@PeppercornBingBong]

@@aleseaux right, I’m not saying the banish should be automatic. It should be like the clues. You take them when you want to. You can still heal, revive, get situated etc. before you initiate the banish. It just doesn’t make logical sense to me that taking a small clue burns up more time and requires more standstill than actually banishing a monster. If it took longer, players couldn’t just sprint up to or past it, press a button (which is effectively not interacting at all) and start it. Kind of ruins the immersion right? Like banishing is a big thing in the game. You get all of your health bars back. Everyone suddenly knows where you are, it creates the dark sight storm above you, burns holes in the map, but all of that is just a single keystroke. I just think that starting a banish should take more than a tenth of a second. Just like taking clues, you’d hold down the key until it’s done. You could stop in the middle if you’re being shot at or whatever else.

[@aleseaux]

@@PeppercornBingBong I think that forcing that extra time on a quality-of-life option would maybe build immersion, but would also make it harder for a defending team to get the health they need when they need it. Banishment in this game is a reward, not an extra step to the process, and as it's built, it's be good to keep it as is.

[@aleseaux]

@@PeppercornBingBong Also for lower level/newer players, this would add a new element to some of the lower star camping issue specifically on console. It'd be simple to hide in a compound as a solo and watch other solos come in, just to take them out as they try to banish. This doesn't necessarily apply to better players as it would be a very obvious sign of a camper

[@paranoiiaxify]

@@PeppercornBingBong Sure clues take some seconds to gather, but before you banish a boss you have to kill it first too so I don't think you can really use time as an argument unless you're talking about stealing a banishment I guess

yeah new players, I see them on Test Server sometimes where SBMM doesn't apply.

I'm an MMR3 player and when I play solo I see 1-star duos from time to time.

I was playing quickplay at early in the morning i got 3 1 stars (im 5-6 star myself) i got so confused about their play style since one chargede at me when i was using a specter while he had a freaking scottfield (i was the wellspring and got a arm hit as first shot so he even knew i had a shotgun) i felt so bad for him since i just think he didn't understand what he was fighting against

free hunter with free gear = the best loadout

Only duo pistols. Always push only true

As a new player I've found it's better to take two weapons with different ammo types because I would see a large number in the pool if I took the same and wasted my ammo heavily. Then when I needed my guns for PvP I suddenly realized I had nothing because I'd used it so freely 🤣So if you spam a lot, miss your shots a lot, and are oblivious like me two different ammo types means you're a lot more aware of how few bullets you actually have and you tend to waste them less while practicing using various sights/guns/ammo types/etc around the map Very validating to see I'm doing a lot of other stuff right though! Practice, practice, practice for me still :p

I disagree with the hand crossbow take. It is AMAZING IN PVP😂

[@jarrodsoos1417]

You sound like casually explained

[@paddypibblet846]

Only thing that matters is that you can fight at long range and close range. THAT'S IT. I will always skip on those low kdr tards who bring an axe and a sawed off shotgun, or two bows, or two pairs of duel wielding revolvers, they're obviously putting zero effort into the game and want you to carry them. I've been in hundreds of firefights where your close range only having "friend" is on your side of the field doing nothing but hiding in a bush because none of his weapons can do anything to anyone at range. Effectively making it a 2 vs 3 fight against the enemy. So either bring a shotgun and something like the Schofield or Pax revolver which give you range capabilities, or bring a rifle and a pistol with a fast fire rate like the officer or the Caldwell with fanning. If you have quartermaster, then even better, you can bring a shotgun along with your rifle. I'm not the only one who has adopted this mentality. I know A LOT of people get skipped for this reason, they put zero effort into their load out and that already tells you what kind of player they're going to be.

the real meta is mosin sniper spitzer with compact shotgun specter slugs

[@jerryandy7641]

but u play according to the mosin, the specter is just backup.
