How are you feeling about the Lemat Carbine? 🙂 As of Update 1.12, the firerate is a little higher and the sights are fixed.

[@DzDyT1]

Ammo. Just a big stockpile of ammo.

[@Jake06972]

I cant hit heads with those stupid ironsights... everything else about it is fun tho

[@dominiceast8287]

I like it alot but my current favourite is the new Martini-Henry

[@therealcalebm]

I didn’t like it at first, after a handful of games though It’s a lot of fun to use

[@ducky4980]

havent gotten it but it looks sick since i already love the lemat

[@DarthZombie510]

I liked the original LeMat. FMJ was already pretty dope, decently good with fanning as well, and the shotgun is useful for very aggressive door entries. The Carbine pushes all of it higher [sans fanning of course], and is one of the most versatile guns in the game. It's one of the few instances where you can pick up a melee secondary and not be in "meme loadout" territory.

[@kingkracker1998]

the LeMat has some of the wrost hip fire out of all pistols. I think maybe it's only the silenced negant is the only 1 wrose at hipefire. so the fanning is hit or miss. not reliable.

[@joshuaserrano8807]

@@kingkracker1998 what are you smoking king, i want some. The silenced nagant with fanning is insanely good it might aswell be an smg

[@kingkracker1998]

@Joshua Serrano what do u mean. LeMat has some of the wrost hipfire out of all the pistols? lol look it up! it's cuz ot had the most rounds, 9. they trying to keep it from being OP. or else every 1 would run fanning LeMat. there's a reason why alot of people fan the conversion. and it ain't cuz it hits hard! it has the best hipfire. just how the game is, has nothing to do with this Bomb ass weed I got! lol

[@Seeker12789]

Alot of people like to slam slugs in it and its a total bop with slugs but my favorite thing is treating the base shotgun part like an emergency "Aw nah" button when I get pushed or am pushing. Also people really like walking into it if you're low even in low six stars because they think "Its just compact ammo"

[@gabrielfunez3863]

I think it's best paired with a hand crossbow for a traitless build. You have the panic one hit kill at close range with the crossbow if you whiff the underbarrel shot. Slap half poison and 2 concertina bombs and you can do a bit of everything. Or in teams use half chokebolts and that will free you space to bring wombo combo traps to the fight. You've got some fun options there.

[@dervoss3841]

You stole my comment good sir or Ma'am

[@AsBusiness-jm1rb]

too expensive fantesies . You should add slug aswell

[@TTHJJD100]

Honestly loved crossbows in this, quiet, high damage, high accuracy. The only disadvantage was having to reload them. But if you were accurate and or patient enough you could kill anybody. I usually took a shotgun alongside it for close range panic or ambushes.

[@benpark5074]

You forgot to mention that when you use Starshell, its effectiveness is roughly twice that which you would get normally due to the sheer intimidation factor

I like to bring LeMat carbine FMJ and the new army with FMJ, unless I have fanning than it's another LeMat FMJ

[@AtomicMonkey923]

Why new army?

[@BradK9Drake726]

@@AtomicMonkey923 It can use Compact FMJ (to boost ammo pool of the carbine), dosen't need any traits to shoot effectively, it's got good reload time, good rate of fire, decent damage and it gets the job done Plus a little bit of personal preference i like the ironsights, and I love the sound it makes when shooting, and most importantly it's fun

[@remsilvertongue25]

I haven't put a lot of time in on the Carbine yet, but I can easily see it becoming my favourite compact ammo primary weapon. Having a button I can mindlessly click while walking around will keep my ADD satisfied.

[@cielopachirisu929]

Then you accidentally try to headshot someone with buckshot from half a mile away and screw up your ambush lol

[@PhyrexianPraetor]

it is definitely not just you with the forgetting to switch fire modes; I have scattered so much buckshot across open plains since I got this gun that it'd make Genghis khan proud

[@julianeuburger]

i am also really enjoying the Lemat Carbine for when I just don't want to deal with picking traits and stuff. Just Lemat Carbine + Lemat Pistol and I'm ready to go. Also the skin from the battle pass is just soooo nice

[@Hanfgurkenhasser]

I could have sworn something about the gun was off! Glad to hear I have not gone mad (yet), felt like I was whiffing shots that should have connected.

[@kasparbaktat964]

As always informative, helpful, entertaining and to the point! :-D

[@lidla2008]

The only thing I really struggle to recommend the carbine for is medium-long to long range. It has the same drawbacks as the Winfield without the phenomenal front post for head tapping.

[@RightClickGamers]

It's quickly become my main weapon. I tend to use incendiary ammo because you pretty much rely on headshots for kills, and if the target is jumping around at a distance it takes like 4 shots to kill, so you might as well set them on fire while you're at it. I've had situations where they panic enough to allow a killshot by myself or my friends. Also the utility of barrel kills. It also doesn't slow down your already slow velocity like FMJ does either. I've been using a sparks pistol with half poison ammo for maximum annoyance, half regular for wallbangs. 15 seconds of no healing and being at potentially 1 health makes switching to the LeMat effective at any range if you're fast enough on the switch. And vice versa, if you hit them with incendiary, the small amount of char prevents healing to max, which can then allow the sparks pistol to one shot. I've been having a lot of fun with this combo. I hate to admit, but I've gotten used to the misaligned sights. It's kinda nice to put their head on top of the little flat area without obscuring it and just know it'll headshot. I'll feel conflicted when they fix it.

[@captainpancakes1893]

I like the lemat in general for the same reason i like the bomb lance custom ammo. Sure for straight damage, there's better alternatives, but you'd be suprised just what a little bonus utility can do for you in a fight. And yes i like the starshell. Its all fun and games until its a night map and you have unlimited flares thanks to quartermaster and the carbine with dual pistols.

[@GoBeyond4Balls]

my and my friends just came back to hunt after along hiatus and this lemat carbine is my fav gun now its so fun and i alway bring a lemat pistol as my secondary when i run it

[@Mrdestiny17]

Got to play with you for a round of random trios the other day, didnt want to fangirl and was gonna tell you to keep up what you're doing when we extracted but sadly we didnt make it lol. Weird game where we banished the Butcher uncontested at lower desalle and then ran all the way north just to die from the other bounty. Anyways, keep up with what you're doing, love the vids.

Something about this weapon just feels nice too. I picked it up for the first time and everything felt so smooth and accurate. Maybe I was doing better, or my internet wasn’t as bad, idk, but this gun has consistently felt just pleasant to use compared to some competing weapons.

"No intimacy required" but.... we.... can still have a little intimacy.... I mean a smooch here and there wouldn't be that bad.... Right?

[@lemonorkut]

That hannah montana reference... Hell yeah, brother!!

[@enby_kensei]

Started using the carbine in conjunction with the new baseball bat for a budget loadout, and it's amazing. With FMJ, it's extremely versatile at any range for an insanely low price. I've been able to absolutely eviscerate teams with fresh hunters, and it takes me from broke to ballin' in 1-2 matches.

[@cielopachirisu929]

Three LeMats Carbine + Dualy sidearms put into shotgun mode loaded with buckshot At long ranges use the Carbine. If someone sneaks up on you, panic-firing the pistol underbarrels can net you can aim punch people long enough for you to get your bearings and sometimes even land a lucky insta-kill. If you need to switch to medium range swap to the normal bullets! LeMat pistol underbarrels are also good for popping beetles, or finishing off a mid-range enemy whose just been tapped by any of the single-shot rifles! I call that strategy Duck Hunting :D

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

What I love about this thing- is that it's the best weapon to bring if you also like to use the sword in Hunt.

[@jiggs677]

I run sword + nagant carbine with poison. Very fun loadout

[@bidcs_]

[@Entitusschule]

I like to use the Lemat Carbine when I play a new hunter with little perks. Because like you said in the video: You don't need perks for this weapon.

[@marsmellow1589]

The incendiary ammo is great for ranged combat on small ammo. Hit them twice and they burn. Time to rotate, reload etc.

[@lucasluiz9081]

[@mahockey3]

That subscription plug was incredible. I would subscribe again if I could for that.

[@jporrasedit]

whenever a hunter starts with quartermaster, if he doesnt have any other gun-specific trait I go with the full lemat (carbine plus two pistols) equipment +FMJ+slugs. Decent at long range, really nasty in close range and indoors. Plenty of ammo to allways push and be aggresive. The carbine is not a head clicker but close to it, and the two leMat pistols with a full 18 fmj load are pretty effective at mid range and indoor fights.

[@OmegaIdiot]

Intrestingly, the "missaligning" of iron sights, is how sport competetive shooters have their pistols and ironsights setup! So thats helpfull for me, i dont have to swap from shooting range mode to gaming mode!

[@Junya01]

That’s a pretty cool fact. Bug or detail to realism I wonder

[@cielopachirisu929]

Really! How does that work?

[@OmegaIdiot]

@@cielopachirisu929 i can speak only from my expirience, But its easier to find and aim at lowest point of "the black" (Black circle thats higher poited middle of target) then aiming and trying to set into the middle of black circle 25/50 meters away, since lowest point is betwin black and white border.

[@VikingsNeverDie]

Me and my friends use it with a bow with double concertina arrows. We like to camp inside compounds and barricade ourselves in spamming concertinas everywhere.

[@tgirl_alice5072]

I haven't been able to play Hunt: Showdown for quite some time (😭) so i can't try this out myself. But i just thought about this. If the LeMat Carbine offers utility, why not lean into that further and pair it with a hand crossbow (half regular, half poison). Adds a second option, for if you missed your shotgun shot or have to deal with two enemy hunters. And gives you very decent PvE weapon.

Biggest issue i have with the lemat carbine is the effective range is QUITE low alongside the muzzle velocity is veeeery slow, so sure you can up the effective range a bit with FMJ but that makes the muzzle velocity worse when youre struggling for muzzle velocity already.

Sick video! Something I'm still wondering is: what are the practical differences between Dragonsbreath and Starshell? In PvE, it seems like it's mostly range, since both "burn through" enemies as far as I can tell, but maybe one is much more effective than the other and I'm out of the loop; on top of this, Dragonsbreath might have the edge by still giving you a usable shotgun in PvP. That's what I'm getting anyway but I haven't had much chance to try the gun out yet.

[@HomeReel]

Starshell does 1 damage, Dragon breath does 94. Starshell is more of a utility pick, dragon breath is for combat, though most effective against AI and Bosses (except for the butcher)

[@fatal_sightxgaming4842]

I was super hyped for the lemat carbine, but you are 100% CORRECT the sights are misaligned. I never considered the lemat, no particular reason, I just didn't use it. But I won so many QPs with the lemat that I had to start trying it in bounty. And landing that first shot then switching to the shell netted me so many kills in close range. I hope they fix the sight alignment, or maybe that's just a niche of the weapon. I know in history the lemat was not good AT ALL, to the point that confederate officers sometimes banned them from use in their units. So maybe it's just one thing we have to deal with to gain the extra barrel length for the shotgun as well as the range increase for the compact ammo it uses.
