IS The Caldwell Marathon Meta? - Hunt Showdown Gun Analysis

[@pupcup.]

NOTHING feels better than pumping shots down range at a team with Iron Eye + FMJ + Swift variant.

[@HuntCraft24]

Indeed!! 😀

[@melodramaticpeople6960]

I really like the way you break down your thought process when in fights, it helps me see what I can do to improve my own gameplay, loving your channel :)

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you! Glad you find it helpful 😊

[@mohnkuchenzentrale]

That's a VERY well crafted piece of comparison! Really appreciated.

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you so much, appreciate it 😍

[@Trrolloks]

Great video, this was what I was looking for.

[@HuntCraft24]

Glad it helped bro. Thank you 😊

[@beardedhoser]

Absolutely great video!!! Not sure how I have missed some of your other videos. But I won’t anymore. 😉. Great work here!!!

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you, appreciate it 😊

[@lewisaaltonen6970]

Brother your videos are super enjoyable, and from editing together video content for my job, I can tell they take a lot of time and effort! Thanks for the vids and hope to see more in the future. If you take requests, I'd love to see a vid on the Hunting Bow!

[@HuntCraft24]

Thanks for the comments! Appreciate it. Actually the bow is surely coming soon I play it often enough to have something to say about it 😊

[@HuntCraft24]

The Hunting bow video is out mate 😉

[@lewisaaltonen6970]

@@HuntCraft24 😍 Oh damn! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Delfegor1]

Well, for me the only reason why you can use other guns from Lemat is that you spend lots of time reloading it. Winnie have more capacity overall and reloads faster, same with marathon, but lemet is still very reliable fun to use. You’re just not so well equipped for open confrontation with multiple opponents, you can shoot one or two and then you need some time to reload

[@TRak598]

Excellent comparison. I still prefer the Marathon because of RoF, ammo count and quick reload, but you made me realize how good the Lemat Carbine is with the muzzle velocity (and that underbarrel shotgun is actually nasty).

[@HuntCraft24]

Indeed, i'm still playing the Marathon often, i do like it. might as well checkout my Lemat Video 😉

[@MentorX14]

Tbh i never understood the bashing on the Martini Ironside. You always follow people on center with the iron sights so blocking the left angle never disturbed me in the slightest. Great Video though, looking forward for more!

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you 😍 Well the easiest explanation for the martini is if you look at the frame i put for the gun, can't you fit a full player in that space? what if you're looking at someone but there's a door on the left and a player walks out of it?! you will never see them 😄

[@MentorX14]

@@HuntCraft24 I fully understand your point of view. But if i may ask, did that actally once happen to you while playing the Ironside? I played that weapon coincidentally the last few weeks and never had that happen. Wish you a beatiful day, mate.

[@HuntCraft24]

It doesn’t have to happen. If it’s a possibility it’s a possibility. I personally never played it that much tbh.

[@TheDisorganizedNerd]

this may be a tad bit late, seeing as i just started watching your stuff and am going through the backlog, but great vid. i also wanted to say, i'm pretty sure the hold click not chambering the next round is intentional, as it allows you to see what way someone is going before something like the winny's hammer blocks your view or with non-automatic weapons that need bullet grubber, you can reload without ejecting a live cartridge. again, great video, i just noticed that and thought "wait, i could have sworn that was intentional." edit: i forgot to mention, if you switch weapons to one with an empty chamber, i'm pretty sure it treats it like switching to an empty gun, not forcing a rechamber or reload.

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you 😊 I do Remember trying to replicate the issue with all combinations i could think of, hold click, switch etc. but i could never get it to happen again, that's why i thought at least if it's inconsistent then it's a bug. I might need to revisit i guess 😀

[@julienchevallier6822]

Good video again. I was wondering why isn't the centennial in the same category, and if it is, how does it compare with the other guns compared here.

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you 😍 Well when i say category, i'm going by slot size and ammo type, so it's the compact ammo large slot weapons, the Centenial is medium ammo.

[@Sovreign071]

If they ever add a Slamfire Trait, the Marathon is going to outpace every other weapon to the top of the pick-list!

[@HuntCraft24]

We'll see i guess 😄

[@badbuddha2359]

Im only 1/3rd of the way thru w vid, but for me its marathon for all your points you brought up, but for me the biggest reason is the spread. It has the tightest spread in the game if im not mistaken. i know its tighter than all singleshot rifles. That alone is a big seller for me. Hell inside of 20m theres hardly any reason to ads. Its insane tbh.

[@HuntCraft24]

Ya, i do mention that, the hipfire is cheating 😄😄

[@badbuddha2359]

@@HuntCraft24 yeeeaaa right after I posted it I saw that you did and felt p dumb lol. Either way good stuff. Marathon slaps. Can't wait to use it in the Gulch

[@Draven-s8b]

its called slam fire.

[@SandyCheeks1896]

You don’t get as many views as you deserve dude, keep making content

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you 😊

[@Helldragon789]

I started trying to Marathon after watching this video and its been doing me well. I got a couple successful runs under my belt now, and honestly compact ammo isnt as bad as everyone says it is. Its a very reliable weapon at most ranges. Does it need a side arm? I like running the scottfield because, you know, cowboy gun in cowboy game, but with how reliable the marathon is im wondering if running a crossbow or a melee weapon would be more beneficial

[@HuntCraft24]

Glad you’re enjoying it! I take a bow with it 😉

[@Helldragon789]

@@HuntCraft24 ooooh the bow. I've yet to touch that thing, I'll take it for a whirl

[@asvinhhelios]

Any extra thoughts with the addition of HV?

[@HuntCraft24]

Haven’t played it much yet but an extra option for an already good gun can only be good thing i would say 😉

[@slayz7216]

I still prefer the Ranger swift with levering and iron eye.

[@bubbabasher]

I'll go watch the LeMat video, but I still think after watching this video that saying the LeMat is better than the Marathon or the Officer Carbine OBJECTIVELY is quite the hot take due to the LeMat's bad fire rate compared to the others.

[@HuntCraft24]

please watch it and let me know, in fact the Lemat has the BEST fire rate of all guns in that category 😀 that's the point i try to make in that video.

[@bubbabasher]

@@HuntCraft24 okay I know for a fact the fire rate does not beat the Winfield levering or the Marathon swift,

[@HuntCraft24]

To be fair my Lemat video was before the Marathon came out, also it's not a comparison i'd make comparing 2 guns one in iron sight and one with levering, but in my Lemat video i explain my point of view when it comes to what fire rate practically means. 😉

[@nordsurfer]

120 Fov all on low.... great

[@HuntCraft24]

no! not "ALL" 😄

[@nordsurfer]

@@HuntCraft24 right texture on high

[@devynmohnacky4652]

I mean this respectfully incase English isn't your first language, or you just don't know but the Mako is pronounced "May-Ko" not "Mah-Ko." I've seen plenty of other people saying it that way as well. The way I know this is because it's called the Mako to reference the type of very fast shark, since the real-life weapon is made by Marlin which is a very fast fish.

[@HuntCraft24]

Thank you 😊

[@arielbca]

That's why I kinda hate english haha. Imagine having to know that kinda obscure reference to know how it's pronounced. At least IG videos about those inconsistencies are hilarious.
