Silent Swordsman (Hunt: Showdown)

Saber gameplay. Being stealthy, going for surprise kills. It's so very fun to play this way.
I think it's incredible that I can make videos like this and so many people enjoy watching it even though its not top-tier headclicker gameplay. I appreciate all of you that watch!
As usual, this is not meant to be a display of skill, just an entertaining video.

Lightfoot nerfed :(

[@burntcat4348]

Think this was literally because of you XD

[@W3bst3rStudio]

I miss ur videos man, I pray that you come back :C

[@Mr.Ford3350]

Deserved honestly, it was REALLY strong

[@HuntShowdownLab]

Watching you dismantle that trio was like a horror movie from the monster's prespective. lol.

[@tulipalll]

I LOVE seeing people actually using the decoys as they were intended ❤

[@HuntShowdownLab]

Lol, me too! :) I thought of saying something, but i'm not going to be the guy who leaves a comment every time I see a decoy in a video no matter how on-brand that would be... XD@@tulipalll

[@tulipalll]

@@HuntShowdownLab LoL! No problem, I'll be that guy 🤣🤠🥳

[@CmdrDoran]

this is actually a pretty good desciption of what i just saw ...

Crytek needs to give you your own saber skin already

[@sayler1]

Thats the dream

[@HuntShowdownLab]

Love the uptick in content. Good stuff!

A steady stream of nightmare fuel! Thank you Mr. Rat 🐀

[@DuBziiLLa]

That last clip was insane! Top tier bamboozling skills 😂

[@Acsion42]

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age

[@1nnerconflict]

you can animation cancel the ladder btw, as soon as you reach the top and starts going slightly forward you can press jump key, and you wont be animation locked for the extra second

[@dtm20004]

Thanks for the tip

[@michaelpike473]

That's a good one,thanks

[@brambo7383]

Thank you bayou Jesus for your wisdom

[@burgersquinn]

nobody believes me when I say Lightfoot is overpowered, but hopefully crytek also never believes me

[@sayler1]

Yea it would be nearly impossible to play like this without it.

[@damienbrohan7431]

The worst in that story, this guy makes me love the "power of the sword" and sometimes to have fun, just after reaching level 42 (because prestige), I'm having fun playing like this just to drive Hunter crazy 😂😂😂

[@alexishuon8440]

@sayler Hey dude, hope you are doing fine and you are not feeling down. I wish you the best of 2024 and more so. Take of yourself :)

[@sayler1]

Thanks Alexis, I also wish you well!

[@rigfordthebarbarian2895]

Can't wait for the katana ninja video that I have no doubt you're going to make. Martialist is broken. The katana is broken. Shadow Leap is broken. Although I think Martialist should give each big melee weapon its own special attack, they should also add in the pitchfork and shovel (or weapons that are nearly identical) as buyables.

[@Smellslikegelfling]

I love it when you whistle after wiping a team.

[@T4xEvader]

CRAZIEST PLAYS OMG. RachtaZ couldnt

[@noxy8763]

New katana video when ?

[@damienbrohan7431]

The last game was so great ! GG man !!!

[@cannonfodder4376]

Such a menace in how you just take teams apart. With such cunning it's scary how you run rings around them.

[@boarnson8663]

Im laughing... and laughing 😅 They were so confused, your movement was like an invisible Phantom. You were the Matrix

[@1dustbranch111]

you're so good at doing those lightfoot jumps, I actually started doing them after watching your vids, sucks that Cry rekt it tho

[@ericritchings8739]

Thank you youtube algorithm! Mad props for that loadout man! Really fun to watch! Subscribed! GG P.S. Your gamer tag with loadout is EPIC! Lol

[@L00PER_]

looking forward to watching your katana video on youtube soon :)

[@Beispielname1233]

realy love your videos. im trying to into katana. could you make a guide on katana or meele mindset in general? :)

[@dtm20004]

That poor Hail Mary... she never stood a chance

[@Fearless_Beggar]

The Rat King would like a word in your ear scaly one...

[@jubeithesilent01]

That poor krag Hail Mary, this just wasn't her game

[@siegfriedmordrake3229]

Damn, it must be a tough match when Inigo Montoya is in the place

[@jalil3192]

Lightfoot update : they will remove jumping with no sound 😞

[@SidewaysGts]

Good. That awkward crouch into jump bunny hop tactic was lame and dumb af.

[@disabledcain3287]

Hey gg was that poor burnt marshall in carmick, it was funny and slightly horrifying to play against you

[@sayler1]

gg thanks for being a good sport and leaving a comment. Happy hunting!

[@chrismoore1372]

This game just needs kill comms like CoD

[@YM-zf8mt]

this is insane this is much better than head clicker gameplay

[@OnTheRun_DontTellEm]

Sayler would make a great janissary

[@faberhaus746]

My Lord how do you get to this level in this game?! Im at 200 hrs and I feel like ive hit a wall. Last night I lost 17 hunters and $3000 in two hours (i was salty so I counted haha). Since I mainly play solo because I dont have a solid friend group to play with on a regular basis, should i look more into playing with people? Or am i just having a bad day

[@sayler1]

I have about 2k hours and I am nowhere near as good as the best players (I get wrecked all the time). This game is truly difficult and it takes a long time to improve. I think the key is to not take it too seriously, just try to have fun. You will get some good games along the way.

[@faberhaus746]

@@sayler1 Thanks for the comment man. I stepped away briefly and came back with the "have fun" mindset and gotten sooo much better in the last few days. The key is patience and listening to the environment around you (something I do IRL being an actual hunter lol). Thanks for the encouragement! Every time you upload brightens my day :)

[@freddie9705]

It's a shame the katana was added in the same patch that nerfed lightfoot to mitigate how fast you could sneak around.

[@sayler1]

Yes it's a real bummer.

[@morales6224]

Dawg this is the most evil shit I have ever seen, keep it up.

[@Ramiroocampo]

Making the Assassin look lazy.

[@sterben4469]

How ca i Do that silence jump

[@Scott.E.H]

So a couple things make me curious. For one a lot of your stealth builds seem to revolve around melee as opposed to the many other ranged options. I'm just wondering why that is. Easier to deal with multiple people? Less having to aim? Second, is why you always bring weak shots. Is it because you prestige and are trying to save money?

[@sayler1]

I find melee to be more fun. Lots of times I don't even bring a gun. Weak vits because it's good enough. I'm not worried about optimizing, just spamming games to get funny kills.

[@Scott.E.H]

I would love to see how you handle being sneaky with suppressed guns or other silent weapons. (Mostly because that's how I play and I want to see how a competent person does it)

[@marcusm8755]

Yo my man they have katana now in this game, I want to see you with that

[@LuvChepe]

what r u using to show fps n latency on the top right

[@williamrelue]

Assassin had to respect your assassinating 😂😂😂

[@karadrazbliss9865]

And you shall always give your best performance of the Sabre Rider - Intro Song and for special meme bonus points have both sherriffs as team mates. :D would love to play against and with you, because I do the same stuff. btw. try bow and sabre, silent samurai.

[@Schrodingers_kid]

You have really adapted to that playstyle, huh? Anyway, nice to see someone play strategically for a change, because it's much more difficult to power through a squad when you don't flick on their heads from afar and actually have to get upclose and personal

[@4ssguard]

Remember trailer for Reptilian DLC Cold Blooded? In the end he runs with bomblance out of bushes. Definitely Sayler

[@CROE219]

Average British title

[@Niggelsworth]

Now do it without the Gator.

[@huejackson8371]

As much as i do not respect the saber, these kills were more than just luck panic melee rushes. Great use of decoys! Youre evil! Haha

[@ironguy1916]

We need more sayler

[@NathanBorup]

Lol inigo montoya

[@johnjones5601]

Saber kills are always intensely satisfying. What are your thoughts on a smokescreen bomb?

[@hamishfraser2004]

Too smooth with it!

the thing is you would definitely benefit from playing melee in compounds, makes you a better player after trying

Patience is a virtue.

[@KingJerbear]

Map knowledge definitely plays a huge part in finding success with this

[@bigdikwiener72]

i love that your killing all the crossbow chuds with the most based weapon in the game

[@KingJerbear]

Absolute banger. Safe to say that staircase is bugged or something, your Nagant shots were dead on multiple times and wouldn't even go through it. It seems like a restoration shot could have a ton of value with this playstyle. It's always my favorite when you're creeping around and you come face to face with another hunter, then you nope the hell out of there lol

[@joshpollnitz3665]

Why not use the bat? I love the saber but man the bat has stolen my heart. Just curious if there is a reason?
