At the start, my voice cut out and rendering + uploading this video again would take at least 15 hours with my connection... Sorry... Please forgive me and join my Giveaway for *LIVE BY THE BLADE DLC* here: discord.gg/dzu97rE (Check #🎁giveaways🎁channel)

[@lubo3934]

No worries king:)

[@lioncattc4260]

I didnt get bothered by it at all. It Didnt affect the videos quality in my opinion.

[@jorgeignacio8476]

Not to worry boss, always enjoy the quality and the great teachings from u!

[@Tri-Technology]

I would also mention the sway of the weapons has an important role and the free kills of sparks, mosin and lebel sniper are also great gifts for solo players. I can handle the sparks sniper without steady aim best, so it's my choice if I play a fresh hunter and I got already so many kills, because I third partied or met someone I killed before at range with one upper torso hit with these snipers. That's where the Centennial and Vetterli are lacking power.

[@E1iteWolf]

I enjoy videos like these. Something about covering the various options you have each time, it's motivating/encouraging somehow. Hard to explain. I just like to get better at any game I play so I always enjoy this kind of content! Keep it up.

[@siegfriedmordrake3229]

For someone like me who easily doubts themselves, it's always nice to be reminded that I'm doing things right according to master Rachta. That last game was most relatable when you missed important shots but still got them in the end

[@DatsWhatHeSaid]

Them deciding to _run towards the extract across a wide, open field,_ instead of pushing him into the fort compound, where a sniper rifle is objectively exponentially weaker, was a major misplay and the reason he still got them in the end, though.

Recently got into Hunt, and this video actually helped me immensely, just went in and used these strats to kill a trio and a duo to get out with 2 tokens that's so much money it's amazing thanks for the content Rachta

[@noelfodi387]

You made the past nearly 50 minutes flew by easily. Very nice gameplay and commentary, earned a sub, keep up the good job. My favourite thing about your gameplay is that you are very coolheaded. Shared this video to mates who play Hunt aswell.

[@Elemvoice]

Insta watched the second part after the first one, dude. Great format, keep it up! Also, super interested in this particular game style.

[@leander4422]

I love these videos. Not because I love playing solo, but because I can learn a lot from you explaining your decisions during the game. Keep up the commentary videos!

[@Jefrejtor]

Insanely impressive stuff, especially that last game. You showed that even with subpar accuracy, a fresh solo sniper can have success, if they play smart. Very inspiring!

[@reodan616]

Really nice showcases! Love the explanations and the playstyle. Especially seeing cheaper loadouts for this playstyle other than Mosin Spitzer.

[@yarmy2936]

I love this video, especially because it lets us know what you’re thinking with every move you make, which is awesome for a new player like me to learn about the in raid mentality’s and focuses. Great content!

[@mayna2083]

I think the hand crossbow is super underrated as an off-hand for playstyles like this. And first thing you have points to spend either Quartermaster (for a side handcannon) or Fanning are the first things to buy for me! Thanks for the content Rachta

[@AnUrbanDay]

Pretty cool. Just got the game. Your commentary is just what I was looking for to explain how things work. Also, pretty sick to see you run no perks at the end. Props!

[@verum6076]

Please continue to make solo content, I learned a lot of new things for myself despite 1.5k hrs in Hunt.

[@aundo1647]

flashing himself in the crucial moment, followed by the dry commentary, is truly S tier content!

[@YaSmithe]

I've been working on changing my playstyle and trying new approaches to the game. I have not planned on playing sniper or marksman but this video has opened my mind to some things. Good teaching

[@ts_of_defunct]

My ps4 died over a year ago and I haven't replaced it or upgraded yet and this is probably one of the games I miss playing the most. It has an aesthetic unlike anything I've played before, it's hard to explain it. Something in the sound design is so distinct, sounds outside really sound like they're outside somehow. The way the dogs sound when they're barking gives me nostalgia, reminds me of my cousins' house when we were kids. (They had a bunch of hunting dogs)

[@EsotericCat]

I just picked up this game, and its one of my favorite up and coming genres. Seeing someone like you play solo with your commentary is so helpful for someone new, you play it so well it feels like a chess game sometimes with how much information you are able to process and create.

[@yetiwildadventures1183]

hey love your educational videos they've been extremely helpful to me as a pretty new hunt player. more of these would be much appreciated thanks and good luck hunting.

[@MnemonicHack]

With the Centennial, I would really recommend levering. Pretty cheap for only 4 points, and if you get caught up close or don't have the time to reload your pistol, you can unload with the Centennial quick and with a relatively tight spread.

[@bubbly_ghost]

Recently moved to solo rather than random trios, and I actually have an easier time by myself than having to deal with these randoms

[@ramsaybolton9151]

because the game doesn't have an actual team chat it punishes randoms. I play solo mostly and the MMR modifier is huge. I can wipe solos as a 5-6 star solo who gets avg team mmr of 3.5-4.5 than fighting a trio in 6 star with a random trio.

[@ahriman6669]

Most of the times randoms are cancer.

[@Corolalumii]

[@heymelon]

I have been playing this exact first loadout during event quite a bit to try out solo sniper, though often with poison ammo for fun. And tbh it's good but I always end up running in and fight way too close. I'm the one killing boss, pushing or whatever. I guess I'm just not sniper at heart... But with some more practice and watching your guides I'm sure I can make it work 😁

[@2bor4b95]

"you need to do unexpected plays as a....ok that's unexpected as well!" LoL good video, man.

[@shifty7629]

Great vid! One thing I've been meaning to ask, and maybe I missed it in comments of previous vids: How to you get the prompt to hit to display with that white box around the key prompt rather than the default red text? That seems super handy, especially in the case of using dauntless. That white box is way more noticeable than the plain red text.

It's option in HUD settings

[@h3ctic504]

Killing boss is worth $100 normally but as a solo you get a bonus $100 too, so if you can manage to, it's pretty worthwhile and can pay for a good part of your loadout.

[@smash8865]

Not a fan of sniping but really enjoyed this video. It's baffling how you explained the plan and executed it like it was a tutorial, when it's actually a bunch of other players doing their best.

[@Kamille92]

Not a big fan of sniper gameplay style but this was a good video as always! BTW, I already spotted centennial solo snipers in my games now, GG.

[@wheelerthree]

Honestly rarely use the med ammo snipers/marksman because of the terrible penetration, but if you only shoot when it is open, I can see how it works well.

[@WLMaximus]

What I've been getting so far: 1. Stay at range, but also not really 2. Be good at aiming 3. Be a Gigachad and know every angle 4. Be high elo, so you can actually safely assume what teams are going to do based on logicality, without having to worry 2 people will start crouching 500m just to shoot you in your ass when you least expect it

[@azzraNjo]

Thanks for the laugh :D

[@lukepoplawski3230]

Yeah, it’s eeeaassy! You just have to take crack shots and never miss insane lines of fire. You got this!

Wow. You are realy the Best. I learn so much from your Videos. Keep up the good Work you are amazing.

[@Bluedro]

Any way to get longer videos? When I watch I feel like they end so quick.. but this one was a decent length

[@TRak598]

Now what we need is a guide on how to farm money and XP while avoiding players as much as possible. Stuff like: *Get as many clues as possible so you can keep earning cash even if you die. *Know how early you are to a boss and quickly and silently dispatch it. *Where to go after the kill, so instead of being in the way of players looking for the bounty and extracting, you are just out of their sights, which may end up giving you a free token if the pickers are solo. *The best way to use Vulture + Necromancer (if solo) Traits, so you don't get burned by jerks when downed even though it was clear that you were not after them (happened to me way too often). I can see it being viable for teams, since you can then split and clear AI all over, which gets a lot of Bloodline XP if your Hunter is maxed. A 10k XP match nets 400 Hunter Dollars from XP conversion alone, and you can get more 200-300 from clues, and even a bit more if you kill a boss. Not sure about the average results of a Vulture run, but 6 players lying dead near the boss lair should be worth at least 300 Dollars, and that's shooting low. There you have it: 500-1000 Dollars and you risked nothing. This may sound against the "game's spirit", but Crytek is the one to blame for forcing people to not only fight for a relatively small prize (especially if in a group), but also carry limited item loot out of the game (which BTW cannot be sold if not obtained from other players). Pretty much any other extraction game offers a lot of tradable resources for anyone risking going after PvE objectives, and/or allows players to take more than a loadout worth of weapons in their backpacks.

The most disgusting gameplay is the sniper ,im with u with this man. Well at least rachta not camping 40 minutes for 1 kill.

[@ElPadremio]

The problem is with you if you can't handle a solo sniper as a team. This is not call of duty, your hunter has value to his name and being sneaky and dangerous is a great tactic that actually requires map knowledge and great rotations. Someone not shooting like a mad man and running all over the walls and he is a rat? Jeez

Hi Rachta, I new in the game. Really enjoy watching your skill. Going through your settings to find my best options I have a question regarding your mouse sensitivity. You play 800 or 900 DPI? Regards form Poland :)

I tried playing like him in the first game, it's not too hard actually. Just shoot at them from a distance, even better when they're fighting. Just get kills and try to kill every single one of them. Had 3 double bounties with a couple team wipes today and maxed out my second hunter.

You'll want a secondary that can get more than 1 kill (or if you're using it to finish off the last guy, one that can still kill even if it misses) It's the same reason sparks is an amazing gun but still not really reccomended for solos It's also better if your secondary uses the same ammo as your primary for more ammo reserve
