Personally my issue with the "dark magic/occult" leaning that recent hunt skins have focused on is that a really cool part of the hunt aesthetic is that you're fighting supernatural boss monsters...with guns. The mundane battling the magical just has a really nice ring to it and characters like Sheriff Hardin, Hawkshaw Jack, Redshirt, the Hillbilly, etc. offer an excellent juxtaposition to characters like Frau Perchta, The Revenant, Gar, The Bone Doctor. The problem isn't that these characters exist, just that there seems to be a higher number of newer supernatural skins than mundane ones.

I think that if people are having problems with the occult and supernatural aspects of Hunt Showdown, then that is a shame. Building on what you said in your answer to the 4th question: Hunt has had supernatural roots since before early access, when it was still known as Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age. "Cosmic horror bounty hunting in the Gilded Age" is the setting of the game, and I love it. When I first bought Hunt, I loved the setting, the "high risk-high reward" gameplay loop, and the different representations of character archetypes in the bayou. 1000 hours later, I keep playing the game because I love how much creativity and care goes into crafting seasonal tweaks to said gameplay. I personally welcome it all, but I can sympathize with what you call the "Hunt Conservatives" that want a simpler game mode.

I think when it comes to that trait for retrieving thrown weapons, maybe instead have it be an upgraded version of blade seer (call it bladecaller/baldemaster or somthin). And have it work like necro where you have to target the thrown weapon, but it has a faster interaction time (maybe around like 1.5/2 seconds). Would generally be nice and could make for some funny kills where you yank a weapon out of an enemy at like 10m or around there.

@@thekornwulf I think this is a good idea - small scoped handguns are a common gaming trope that would be fun to see replicated, and unlike other suggestions it doesn't just add more variant bloat that nobody will use (scotty precision, nagant precision/deadeye, etc), all while enhancing it's existing unique trait, which isn't ammo variety, but is rather being 80 bucks and having 330 velo and a good headshot range. Adding a scope solidifies that role and differentiates it from the pack without stepping on other niches. Plus, poison ammo is a huge deal for solo players - it's a very consistent way to split teams down to smaller fights that you can take in sequence. Bodyshot one guy with poison and suddenly he can't repeek you, splitting the team down. The scotty didn't need high velo for sure, but that's another discussion.

I think the answer to the skins is to create new variants like the viper who has 4, but start making variants of previous event exclusives and other hunters. It would make previous ones stay unique and get those veteran Hunters more options while giving new hunters a chance to collect a hunter missed. This can be applied to other skins too for example the Marshall we could get a younger pre eye patch and and a Deputy Harden etc. Giving new variants to timeless classics, and for quality of life a new recruitment menu so you don't have to scroll 4 at a time to find the Hunter you want to recruit.

I think they need to reduce how often those challenges get rolled, I just want to do a normal loadout now and then.

Other than just adding variants and covering up the issue. The Pax needs a slight buff in fire rate and a buff to reload speed. -- Suggestion: Adding two more consumables: The Coagulant shot: (W/o Bloodless) Acts as a temporary Bloodless/(W Bloodless) Once tagged, you take 1 game tick of damage and then you stop bleeding. Reason being, you can defend against all other ammo types other than Dum Dum. Weak 5minutes, Strong 10 minutes Second Suggestion - The Adrenaline Shot. Gives 2 minutes of Bleed res, poison, regen, stamina. Used in those clutch situation.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to add something to the monicker of a "Caldwell Thunderclap". Based off the Colt M1877, it would be basically a double action version of the Pax. Where something like the New Army fires fast, reloads decently fast, but is pretty wimpy; the Thunderclap would still fire fast and hit harder, but is contrasted by a slow and cumbersome loading process. It's not something you'd want to be on the receiving end of, but a prolonged firefight could leave you prone to getting caught with your pants down due to spending more time reloading (or even straight up running out of ammo) if you don't have good trigger discipline.

The only really unique variant I can think of for the Pax that would set it apart would be a version that has a longer barrel with higher muzzle velocity and more effective range. This would allow it to rival the Uppercut even better, though it still wouldn't have as much range as the uppercut nor its raw power. They could call it the Pax Target or Pax Sharpshooter or something as it's meant to be a more precision based variant.

From day 1 there’s been zombies and undead hulks and spiders of Frankenstein’d together corpses, not to mention its set in the 1890s which is on the backend of the “Western” era which was more immediate post Civil War. Big hats and slow guns don’t automatically make something a “cowboy game”. As for me, I absolutely love the mixture of “Weird West”/Southern Gothic/Turn of the century horror elements that make up Hunt.

A variant of the Pax with a faster reload would probably help it slot into that all-rounder weapon niche more snugly, as most all-rounder weapons are used as a reliable accompaniment to a more powerful and more volatile main weapon like a crossbow, bow, bomb lance, or sparks. Right now, it's only reliable for the first 6 shots and then you have to decide between using your main weapon, or sitting out the 11 second reload animation. Guns like the vetterli don't suffer from this, you can throw in a couple rounds in a flash to keep your ammo constantly topped up. An alternative is to add a weapon mastery variant at 100,000 experience that doesn't change anything about it statistically but it has a bunch of sick sporty animations like the Peacekeeper from BF1, that'd be a more than adequate buff IMO.

The pax saves my skin more often than I like to admit. It’s not perfect. But it smacks decently hard and boosts my ammo for my primary. I don’t need my handgun to shoot confetti and rainbows. Sometimes simple and boring is okay. That’s just me though. An average at best 4 star.

To make the pax more interesting they should differentiate it from the scotfield like the real life counterparts. The pax is based on the colt peacemaker, which fired the famous .45 Colt cartridge, and loads from a loading gate. The scotfield is based on the Schofield revolver, which fired a .45 Schofield cartridge, and it loads from the open cylinder when the top break action is opened. Top break revolvers can reload faster than gate revolvers, but their frames are not as robust and must fire less powerful ammunition than solid frame revolvers. Crytek can modify damage, projectile velocity, and reload speed, to make the difference between the two of them relevant.

Pax is my favorite dual wield pistol. Great accuracy, damage, and speed. Just the perfect spot for dual wield. That's the only place I use it though.

Maybe decreasing the reload speed of Pax could revigorate it. A variant with an automatic shell ejector on it perhaps? Drastically decreased reload time with increase in recoil (due to brass flying at your face :D). It wouldn't clash with the time period either, because first auto ejecting revolvers were made in 1870's.

Just going through my thoughts on these as an internet rando Pax; I love the pax. It's long been up there as one of my favourite guns. Partly because I just really like the aesthetic of the Colt SAA and just generally love single-action guns. But also because it just feels really good to use. It's decent at most ranges, and being able to two-tap someone with that this is great. But I do kind of feel like it needs a little love. Having the knife version not suck was a really nice change for opening up an inventory slot, but its only realy niche right now is a medium poison pistol and...I just never bring it for that-while I do like poison ammo, it's a kind of ammo that can't entirely support itself, so I tend to bring something that can punch through soft cover-something like the pax. But I would love a carbine version of it, or a long-barreled version. The real gun after all was a huge source of variation in the real world, so there's a lot to pull from. Or they could do a quick-load version where you pull the cylinder pin to swap for a loaded cylinder (though that might conflict with the scottfield). Cursed traits; honestly I really like these. But you're right in they'd have to be implemented in a way that wouldn't make it overly complicated, and there could be issues with balancing if the benefits are too good to pass up, or bad enough that the system is ignored. Maybe something like you can pay less perk points for a corrupted version? Like Doctor for six or seven points, but you bandage twice as slowly or don't regen or something. Something that adds a risk/reward system without adding huge numbers of new perks. Too much custom ammo; I don't mind this one. I kind of feel it; t's not like old hunt where it was more just people trading shots from rifles and revolvers-there's definitely more of a "gamey feel", but while I don't love ALL of it, I do think the gameplay variation that custom ammo brings is worth the pain of playing against a little too much of it. It helps that most of it is in a good place right now, where it feels useful but not usually overpowered, as all the ammos have their drawbacks. Maybe could be more expensive though to slightly cut the amount brought. But then there's the issue of hunt's economy problems and how balancing on price doesn't work and only penalizes people who are already having a hard time. Harry potter; Same feeling-I feel like it's part of the game, and always has been-I like it.

Before this Event my Idea was to differentiate the two. The Shitfield should be the Spammy gun. Shown by a Quick Reload Variant, the stubby Variant and even the brawler. Add to that FMJ and you have the identity of a Close Combat gun ideal for spamming/fanning and Penetration. Thus my Idea for the Pax was the "Marksman" Handgun. Give it a Stock/Carbine Variant, a longer Barrel, a Scoped Variant. And add High Velocity ammo to it to really Go for headshots on Range. But it seems that someone at crytek really simps for the Shitfield...

They need to bake in greyhound and determination and remove the traits. The argument can be made for doctor as well because its now the most popular trait and most expensive. Lastly the Pax should have been our first medium ammo silenced pistol and it should have got HV not the Scofield.

I've been talking to my friends about Crytek adding a Gatling gun to the game. Like, either a large slot weapon that can be mounted, or having it be a weapon that takes up 2 tool slots. I feel like it would be both bad and good. I feel like it would be similar to the stalker beetle for being vulnerable.

What I like about the Pax WAY more than the Schofield is the fact that it is way faster shooting when dual wielding and fanning. I agree that they should have added the High Vel ammo to it instead tho.

the perk like quartermaster that add slot can be done easy if you just get the Q button to the third weapon and i think that perk will be fair if you could only take 2 1 1 weapons or something debuff your weapons capacity or -1 equip slot for derringer for example
@joshuaturcotte672410 ай бұрын
There is a bunch of weird things I can argue about the Pax, first off, I still think balancing the gunplay around ammo types is just a buggy mess as its harder to control the warrent for a gun to exist when to make a gun viable you need to pay the price of a upper teir arm. This doubles the same way for some options like windfield centenial, which you can make the gun work better with FMJ, have piss ammo capacity, and have piss recoil with high cost value, or you could just run a winnie swift with HV, you get 6 more rounds total, lose 30 meter headshot range, but have better recoil, reload, ammo reserve, also has the same MV as the winnie centenial with only 20 yards less bullet pen then centenials FMJ, and the cost is almost over 200 cheaper. The issue is that its a highly slippery slope to argue a weapon stack is useful if its based on a price tag buyable addition that pushes the prices to near next teir requirements. At this point the reason the Pax suffers is the constant requirement to fire faster then the oponent as that makes up the pinch, when it comes too it faned fire and fastest firing operations Scottfield is a 2 tap torso with the same range as a pax with the pax suffering slower reload, slower firing, and only has a bit better muzzle velocity as a trade off. Its just net better to run the Scottfield over the Pax due to all the varriants of the Scottfield naturally playing into the heavy follow up required meta that Hunt currently is in. The Pax is consistant and good, but when in the range of damage of max the Pax and Scottfield are basically the same but the Scottfield are basically net better due to price and flexability, but now with the meta ammo choices being on the scottfield which is a starter pistol option you kinda cant blame the player base for replacing the pax play with a gun they can level up quickly. Expecially now that they can have the Springfield Marksman with HV and the Scottfield with HV as a follow up, expecially since the springfield option rocks 670 MV and thats borderline beating spitzer for cheap! I argue that they need to start adding more pax variants and then worry about ammunition. Pax is based on the time frames most infamous Colt Army, the follow up to this is the Colt Lightning series which is a double action Revolver being pitched internally, but wasn't issued due to Colt himself saying double action was unnecessary which was not the case seen in the European conflicts. We have several options here that can basically build up the Pax, a Pax precision with longer barrel and longer aim time, a Pax carbine (pistol carbines became common for a month or two in law enforcement after the cartridge was a thing, however it was vastly replaced with bolt rifles and pump rifles), then the obvious one was a revolving shotgun, and then as stated a chain variant could be great as well. Pax ammunition should be ballanced around the meta its placed in, basically at current the meta is HV or FMJ with double action or faster firing options (kinda like the overly seen Scottfield swift FMJ for fanning or the Scottfield Spitfire with FMJ), so basically they need to give the Pax a gimmick that fits the current game meta, otherwise the gun is just out played as a gun standard, I'd argue at this point the Pax should be unlocked first and the other one unlocked later as its just going to be the meta answer for medium ammo to never touch the Pax which comes up later on! (Edit adds the following) As far as I seen I dont hate on a tweak to gameplay, what I hate right now is that people just argue the shiny new so they have new content and now its turning into the same issue as seen in CoD cycle, shiny new updates are the only thing that keeps playerbase alive and wonder when a newer game is released why players dip for brand new games/updated content. Building content fast, buggy, and adding gremlin mechanics to the game to argue a new flavor just means your catering to a brainless group that wont stick to anything but the shiny new for max 2 to 3 weeks. Which makes gameplay hectic, horrible, and stupid for long term players who basically enjoy the game but get a disco light show that violently changes color for entertainment every milisecond without a warning for epilepsy involved. I personally think the game-play is loaded with meta sweat and NA servers suffer from a lack of anything other then meta game outside of events. And events are flooded with gimmicks from missions and rewards trying to grind for the free and cool pass stuff. Problem is the fact they dont offer you a good switch from the ammo choice BS. I've switched poison ammo for bleed or incindiary so many times I just avoid it as I hate the ammo system as a whole. I thought it might help the crossbow or a bow type weapon. But the devs made all classes have meta in it now. And the above is the issue. Ammo now is a requirement for most guns to operate as intended instead of fixing the core nerf that 1.0 started with making head-shots dog shit distance for anything outside of Long Ammo. Basically instead of making the game-play a skill based they made it skill based with equipment upgrades. I see no difference between Ammo choices in Hunt to Attachment choices in Tarkov. You sweat with your prefered gun in a meta, gearing as much as possible. I still prefer to use Pax Vetterli or Pax Springfield personally, 0 ammo upgrades, they only suffer against long ammo in sniping conditions, outside that everything is fair game, and for CQB its mostly just heavy spam guns with levering being my end generally. So to me Ammo choices in medium catagory are superficial but a lot of players ambush and train with the FMJ just so they can take down long ammo meta. I personally think a head-shot should be a dirt nap, regardless of fire arm as that was providing skill based rewarding regardless of weapon, a head-shot was the great skill gap and now its more set up to your kit as most kills are body taps then head-shots cause its easier to hit the body and more consistant for the mass majority of player-base and makes spam meta stronger then skill shots.

A new variant, a pax with long barrel, with more sway and a long HS range less fire hate, also i would love a trait that allows you to use iron sights with dual hand, aim with one revolver at a time, make the fire hate the same as using only 1 revolver, add more sway, the intention of the trait is more for style points I would really like to be able to do that.

i think crytek needs to go ham on combining more traits. theyve already said theyre combining all the scopesmith, which is great. but id like to see maybe poison sense and mithridiast combined. hornskin/bulwark combined. theres just a handful of traits that rarely see use/only get picked up as a 'ill remove this after the match for points to get something useful'.

I know we have a lot of weapons in hunt already, so its hard to find a weapon that is new while also not being too samey as something already in the game. Saying that i would love a straight pull bolt rifle being included in the game, as a faster firing rifle with some other downsides perhaps, I think the early era mondragón would fit excellently due to its historical relevance in the area! Only downside is that it would probably be a very strong weapon likely balanced with a high price, and that is awfully full!
@leadpaintchips946110 ай бұрын
On the Pax: TBH I prefer variants based on the real world guns they're based off of in the timeframe that the game is supposed to be, and the Pax is based off of the single action army. From my weak google fu and lack of firearm knowledge in general, there doesn't seem to be a lot of variation on that weapon that would be enough of a detour to be a whole new type. Kindof sucks but that grounded in ~20 years after the American Civil War is what drew me to the game in the first place. The thing that got me into Hunt was how much everything felt like spooky things was happening during that timeframe, in that location. It was a secret group smuggling in weapons and botching together things to try to combat something that they didn't fully understand. Most of the gear that we had was grounded in reality, with people looking like they were exactly what they were, the fringes of 'Murican society at the time. Ya, you'd have some people wearing all the fetishes and trying to channel the occult, but most of the hunters that we saw were just normal people, wearing normal clothes, deciding that the best cure for spooky was a liberal case of lead poisoning. As to the skins: I hate exclusive skins. FOMO is garbage, and that's all that exclusive skins are. FOMO is how you burnout your playerbase. I would much rather people be running the skins that they think looks cool then being one of the only people having the skins that I do own. TBF, I've never been one to think that stroking my epeen is worth doing, but apparently that's important to enough people that it's never going to go away. Telling a new player "Yes, you _can_ look that cool, eventually!" is much better then "Nah, had to be putting in enough hours/money at the right time, you'll never look that cool in game." IMO. I like the idea of pulling in some of your throwing weapons, because having them disappear into the ether feels terrible and I don't see Crytek being ever to track down that bug.

Hey HomeReel, I was thinking when I saw the last DLC animation of the 2 new hunters, that we have never seen an animation where the hunters reach to the bayou in the ship or in the carriage, It would be interesting to see some of the pre-bayou thing in a animation, or some lore information about the HUNT universe, maybe when advertising a new DLC or the new maw, who knows?
