I saw some dislike for the shotbolt so i'm gonna do a counterpoint, you can collateral with it, wallbang is more useful for those trying to counter the crossbow by hiding behind cover, and oneshots if it hits your body. Stomach shots kill and i've never had it fail me. Edit: taking both normal bolts and shotbolts covers utility and pvp

This is basically my main loadout. Lately, I've been leaving off the pistol with fanning and just using a melee weapon. The crossbow is so good, I rarely ever use my secondary. I actually lead with the explosive bolts, though. Once you know how to use them, they are absolutely devastating.

1) The flight range of a bullet depends on the caliber. 300-350-500 meters. 2) One more nuance. On a crossbow, the sight from the hip and from the front sight differ in height. 3) 25:26 ping + lag servers Hunt + bullet speed = miss 4) 27:15 ping + lag servers Hunt P.S. Very nice voice))))GJ

Since Shotbolt's only real advantage over Explosive Bolts is the muzzle velocity (both drop hard and the penetration from the Shotbolt is nearly useless), I tend to go half Explosive, half normal. Normal Bolts allow me to hold angles more easily and silently kill AI with virtually infinite ammo (you never know where a bolt came from unless you are right in front of the shooter or if you get hit) while Explosive Bolts just go kablooie and are just as good as Shotbolts at corridor encounters, if not better. A single ammo box doubles my total Explosive Bolt count (10 if equipped on first ammo slot) and covers spamming regular Bolts on enemies without recovering any. (Bulwark is recommended in order to avoid taking too much collateral damage when shooting Explosive Bolts at CQB.) My secondary of choice is the Uppercut; Ooga booga big damage and has six bullets to it. The Trueshot is great for Dum dum usage, but not really much competitive as a Crossbow secondary when it comes to any other ammo type because you either have to give up on muzzle velocity (FMJ) or not have a range increase (normal ammo or HV). (Say goodbye to penetration in any part of your loadout when using Dum Dum for the Trueshot, though.)

A few notes since this video dropped: A) Nice vid, nice style, great showcase B) Reg bolts are awesome, for stealth, ammo, bosses, pve and pvp. Since the new poison nerf to Immo-bois, it's also nice to know that reg bolts can OSK on headshot, and I believe both special bolts OSK as well (I hope the poison nerf gets reworked/reverted, as Silent Sparks poison was awesome to eliminate Immos from quite a range) C) Uppercut/Mat are getting dmg nerfs to >125! So instead I like to run secondaries with melee attachments, as Immos can be taken out with bolt or stock, and I free up my tool slot. Pax Claw is awesome, and 2-slots have fun options

@@HuntCraft24 fair. I like the stronger rotations on the crossbow, but the "stand your ground" nature of the bow is also super fun I'm also biased cuz I got a 50 m headshot on regular bolts, with a 60 m LeMat headshot follow-up on the teammate. That was years ago and the high is real haha. And every successful wall bang with shotbolt, so l run both of them The nerf is rough but it'll be interesting to see the variety

The shotbolt is strong but I prefer the normal bolt. With the shotbolt you can oneshot at any range but how many times you use it over 30m (the oneshot range of the normal bolt)? The real strenght of the shotbolt is that it kills if you hit the lower torso and, if the angle is correct, it can kill even when you hit the arms. And the penetration, even if it's not the best. All great things but I prefer the normal bolt 'cause it's completely silent, you can retrieve the bolts, heavy bleed if they don't die, more ammunition (very useful in a long fight), super fast and silent for the pve, the bolt travels faster and drops less (with the shotbolt you have to adjust a fair bit even at 20m if they are running). Obviously I'm not taking into account the explosive bolt, it's so different that it's like talking of another weapon.

I used to bring in shotbolts but arrows are just better. They can one shot to the chest and cause bleeding. I either run them down with my secondary while they’re stopping bleed, or chuck a grenade at them. They either stop the bleed and die or run and die from bleed.
@HuntCraft248 ай бұрын
i don't disagree, but if i'm gonna use normal arrows, i think the bow does a better job, just as silent, just as deadly, and it's a medium slot, and no punishing reload. probably gonna make a video about the bow too 😉

@@HuntCraft24 I like the hunting bow as well, but it’s not as good imo. The bow requires you to pull back the string and shoot it, or hold it and walk super slow. With the crossbow you can run and hipfire people pretty easily while dodging shots. I killed 6 people last night in Pelican Prison with the crossbow arrows. Crossbow over any shotgun for sure.

@@HuntCraft24 2 sides of the same coin, imo. Crossbow reloads on movement, so it feels similar to a Martini or something.

Great first video. Appreciate the lengthy intro with the details regarding the weapon capabilities and loadout options; while most might be old news to a vet like me, these intros are often glossed over and I often find I can learn a new trick or idea from them just the same when they're expanded upon. I usually don't stick around for gameplay videos, as many of the more notable Hunt streamers will simply append relevant gameplay to the end of their loadout intro and let it speak for itself; I much prefer the regular updates and commentary regarding mindset and thought process while reviewing the gameplay, something you've done here for its entirety. Lastly, I liked the inclusion of some of the limitations and strange 'why didn't that hit?' sort of replays; it can get a bit tiresome to see the same successes over and over. If instead viewers can see some of the shortcomings and limitations of a given loadout, it makes the whole video a bit more realistic and practical for those looking to try a new kit. Well done throughout.

i personally hate small bars, the only benefit in my opinion is more revives if you're solo, and when you get revived you lose a 25 instead of 50, but i don't like going into a game planning around dying. If i die, i suck! 😄 otherwise small chunks interrupt health regen, so a couple of grunts hitting you will force you to heal yourself, a dumdum hit, bees, armored, a burn that you didn't stop early, all those things happen too often and they annoy me too much, so i got into the habit of preferring big bars all the way.
