I agree with a lot of these comments I’m seeing. I’m really hoping this is the last spam type weapon. Hunt is fun for me because of the atmosphere and the slow, deliberate, gunplay. I worry as time goes on they’re gonna have a higher option for every slow gun and just make them super expensive as “balance” and that just makes me sad.

To be totally real, I just dislike seeing all these fast firing weapons being added to the game. IMO it really hurts the "late 1800s slow firing, clunky early-modern firearms" vibe the game had. It was alright when it was just close range weapons like pistols and shotguns while medium and long ranged fights were slow paced shootouts that were either attrition-fests or decided by headshots. The longer ranged 2 tap weapons hurt that vibe so bad.

I think we'll see use of the cyclone die down in a couple weeks - similar to the ironside. People are stll going to use the bolt action and single shot rifles more.

[@enderborn017]

Yay someone shares my sentiment! I bought this game because I was promised slow methodical gameplay and weapons but there's so many fast firing weapons and I really don't see much reason to not bring at least one of them.

[@j.noble77]

I feel it's a strong addition to the gameplay. The cyclone is quirky for certain and I feel as though the drawbacks are equally balanced with the advantages it gives. I'm glad the devs are giving medium ammo weapons some love with the additon of the drilling and the cyclone. The recoil of the cyclone seems a little all over the place, and the sight picture of the vetterli has never been very popular. I don't quite understand the "spam fire has no place in Hunt" stance as fanning, dual wields, officer nagants, dolches, and avtomats have been in play for years.

[@fylondpettyloaf2972]

The problem with spam that I and many others have at this point is quantity. We had the Bornheim and Dolch, Fanning and Levering, dual wielding, and so on and it worked. They worked out headshots and have tweaked the balance over the years and it's been annoying at times but alright. However, now they have added the scottfield spitfire, the new army, and the cyclone. They keep coming up with new ways to heal which makes the increasing arsenal of spam weapons more viable (most of that healing is in the events, but when those comprise half the year it's basically a moot point). The deliberate, slow ambush that ended in three shots or turned into a five minute shoot out feels like it is going away and that is what drew a lot of us in.

I used it last night for the first time and picked up 7 kills in a compound fight. It's kinda scary how nuts it is. That being said I don't actually think it's that big of an issue since we already have the officer carbine, the bornheim match and the avtomat. If anything I'm worried about the general trend of the game and it becoming overly spam-y. They've done a decent job at balancing spam with magazine size and reload times, but power creep is a real thing that can be hard to manage as you add more and more weapons into the game. I honestly wonder if Hunt should ever consider doing something like fortnite or pubg does where they cycle weapons in and out of rotation. I dont think we're to that point yet, but eventual there's going to be so many weapons that it may be something to consider.

[@Fate2071]

Not so sure about the power creep, I mean over the longest time the meta has stayed unchanged. Mosin, Sparks, Lebell, Romero, Crown and king are still very strong picks. The development goes more sideways then up, power wise. More alternatives are added without overpowering other weapons...atleast most of the time.

True, probably could have achieved most of this with the spitfire as well

[@enderborn017]

Can't say how overpowered it is but the Vetterli is already such an amazing weapon adding a semi-auto version of it feels like a bad idea. When I first saw it I was afraid it'd still do 130 damage; glad it doesn't. But that damage change does feel like it's breaking some sort of unwritten rule. The magazine size seems like it makes it only really effective at killing a single person at a time but it seems really effective at that

[@r-60n54]

If I understand what you're saying correctly, the damage change is very consistent with what we have in the game. Cyclone has a much shorter barrel, and almost every change in barrel length in hunt either adds or takes damage. Nagant and lemat carbine, short winfields, bornheim match, berthier (has the same cartridge as lebel)

[@enderborn017]

@@r-60n54 Yeah I guess there's a lot more of that than I thought. The only thing I could think of off the top of my head was the Bornheim.

[@Jandalf430]

I dont understand why everybody is complaining about spam type weapons damaging the slow, pick-your-shot type gameplay while thinking the way shotguns work in this game is ok.

This bypassing the slow, mid-range gunplay entirely.

As I thought, it's not the most broken gun ever. It's good for compounds... alongside like 6 other primary guns and even more pistols. Technically great, but everything in Hunt is baseline situational. The only time we'll ever get a truly broken gun is when we get one that's extremely effective in all situations.

This weapon is all I've been using since the release of the event. I use it and the baseball bat, I absolutely love the bat, Most people don't expect for you to shoot 4 shots and have a melee weapon, they more expect a pistol so they rush me and boom dead. its just too much fun xD

[@shiekastate]

I'm not happy with the addition of the cyclone, but I dont think it will impact much. The officer carbine will likely stay the first pick for accurate spam fire and headclicking. My biggest gripe is that these very accurate high RoF weapons make close range extremely irritating. Being one tapped by a shotgun is one thing, but being two tapped by a cyclone or officer carbine at 35m at warp speed just further encourages bunkering down or staying at long-range because most other weapons will just be outgunned the moment they get into a mutual exchange that isn't decided by a headshot.

[@1dustbranch111]

Right when the event started me and a friend were talking about which pact was gonna be the most broken and which was gonna be the most used, that double bar heal at 7:31 is so dumb, while I completely understand the arguments for breaking the weapons pace of the game that people have with the new Vetterli. I am more so frustrated with the pacts always having a clear best and the developers not balancing things mid event. If it was just getting your bars back, so you could then heal them back up, it would be the best of the pacts. But bars back instantly fully heal them, get outta town thats dumb

Maybe it isn't hard for you. But to get to the point where you can spend 500 quid every round without fearing to get broke, isn't as easy for most of the player base.

I do feel like the cyclone is perfect in its small ammo pool + lengthy reload (Can't even cancel the animation on bullet insertion like the normal version). It's good.

[@shoelessbandit1581]

In the 1850s people were still using muzzle loaders. In 1895 when the game takes place smokeless powder was just starting to spread around and most guns don't use it. Semi autos really weren't common until the 1910s and even then militaries only started using them in the 1930s. I'm just pointing out hilariously historically inaccurate your comment is though yeah the cyclone doesn't really seem that bad even though it's yet another spam option in hunt: spam down

[@apuffball5754]

@shoelessbandit1581 revolvers and carbines were made in the 1850s, some of the fastest shooting and reloading weapons you could find at the time. Doesn't matter what kind of powder they worked on, they didn't need to be handled like single shot rifles. Also, double barrels were also being produced, and they were all about being fast loading as well. Much slower than the previously mentioned guns, but a hell of a lot faster than single shot rifles.

You know what else is a zippy two tap with a lengthy reload animation with around a 1/4 price the officer carbine. I think once the event is over and the newness has faded many people will realize this and continue to use the carbine over the cyclone imo. Perhaps it will find a place amongst the B teir of Hunt weapons similar to the drilling, but I would be lying if I wasn't skeptical.

I think Hunt needs to start considering if weapons like this should be purchasable or not. Things like Avtomat and a few others would be cool to see sometimes but if they get to a state where they're too strong and you see them everywhere it sucks. I think a neat idea would be that the armories in the maps (those locations in compounds where you can find supplies similar to a supply cart) would have a small chance to have a more 'modern'/experimental type weapon like the avtomat and maybe this cyclone too. Or maybe a new side objective that's a corrupted soldier or hunter that drops one of these weapons. A wild target of sorts that doesn't appear every match and is rare but drops a supply box bounty which you can extract with to get an item reward instead of hunt dollars. The pool could have some of the more expensive weapons in it and then also a few weapons that you can't normally buy which would once again be stuff like avtomat, cyclone, dolch and a few others. Would feel fun to have one of these rare weapons and seeing them in a match even on another hunter would create more excitement to go and try and get those weapons if they are much rarer to use. Even if they are a little bit out of line I don't think that's a huge problem since a lot of weapons can still kill hunters easily no matter what weapon they are using.

The only incentive not to use this over other non-scoped medium ammo is money, which only restricts the low-skilled and casual players. I personally extend this complaint to things like the avto and the drilling, because using money to balance objectively good equipment exacerbates skill gaps.

imo.. whats lame about games with oldschool weaponry is they all soccumb to power creep at some point, where they just keep breaking the mold making more modern guns. like having the automat should have been the top end modern guns that they did. at least its super expensive, unwieldy (without cheating), and near impossible to sustain ammo wise. now theres like something modern in every archetype. eventually hunts literally gonna need a classic mode to keep true fans of the og game happy.

[@TragicTheGatheringMTG]

No, not really. This gun is popular cause it just got released dog, the Officer Carbine is literally older and didnt break the game and is literally better, but whenever a gun that can shoot more than one round comes out all the most "skilled" players come out and say the game is dying.

[@nobodyded1664]

Played a few mathces against it , not really a big fan.. as long as the user knows how to aim it's really tough to beat the spam power... eh , hopefully not too many spam weapons will be introduced.

[@TragicTheGatheringMTG]

It's literally like fighting someone with a Dolch/Bornheim/Officer.

@@TragicTheGatheringMTG Yeah... I played a few games with the weapon and I completely stomped the lobby.. It needs a nerf asap.

I'm to busy being F'd my matchmaking and facing prestige 100 people with unlimited money to level up the pass to even Get the Cyclone... The Hell of 4 star is real...

[@maxtugger1859]

It’s not bad, but it’s cost for me personally, makes it every now and then weapon.

[@iMost067]

Spitfire have HV now, and its about 400$ cheaper

[@troll5262]

Feels like cheating when I use the thing. It shoots way too fast for the damage it does with almost no sway and very manageable recoil. If you just shoot three times the reload is also really fast, tho using that last bullet is commonly needed. Which makes the reload reasonable. When the Drilling came out people were afraid the two-tap potential of it would be too much. Turned out it was fine, if a strong option. Cyclone is that, but four shots instead of two, with (opinion) far more clear sights.

[@Chubzic.]

Such semi-auto should be a replacement for an automat. The problem of a last one is just being way out of balance for the game. It is either OP or unplayable. While semi-auto gun is relatively more balanceble.

[@captainblastems3367]

I havent ever really come across an automat player that actually did so well with it I blamed the gun.

[@Chubzic.]

@@captainblastems3367 I used to play with it regularly before the dual spaks pistol nerf. Usually were taking for a meme run at the end of the session, thinking 'Finally I will die and lose it'. And I don't remember a single game where I lost an avtomat. Becuase you are just spamming the bullets through all the walls and don't care. It was OP. Now, without spare ammo, it is OP until you run out of bullets (which is pretty fast). So it makes a little sense to take a gun that is effective against first 2 players you encounter, and then it is a junk with no ammo. So nobody plays it now. This gun is way out of balance. It is nearly impossible to make it balanced *within the Hunt's PVP model with mostly single-shot guns*.

its broken price wise, i aint spending that much on medium ammo i can buy me a mosin and have money left , i never buy expensive guns but if i do i buy long ammo like lebel or mosin sometimes but this is just absurdly expensive..

[@tisigrozen]

Ofc it's broken. They might as well add M1 Garand to the inventory...

[@garretttann106]

I can tell you right now, when i get killed by op weapons(nitro,avtomat) and obnoxious mosins I don't think wow that guy spent a lot of money for that jokes on him. At high elos people abuse the strongest weapons and money really isnt an issue. I've been sitting on 75K for over a year and I'm an average player I would say, 5star. Money isnt a con or even a factor most the time. The game is supposed to be fun not who has the most money to spend on the better gear. RIP hunt, all these rapid fire weapons are no incentive for me to come back and play after 1month.

[@boiboi2674]

I feel like they should make it cost 500 on the dot and nerf the rate of fire by just a bit orrrr make it 3 bullets that could also work.

[@Fate2071]

Like always since the game exist, every new weapon is cause for some parts of the community to cry wolf, and as always it turns out not anywhere close to what was feared. I personnaly get pretty tired by the same old song.

[@badbuddha2359]

I fuckin love you home! UwU.. i uhh havent tried cyclone in real game bc i only have the one and im poor lol.. its got an interesting kick when i was fucking around w it in shooting range though.. kinda wish theyd introduce a decent gun thats under like 350 for once..

The lack of spam is what makes hunt hunt ... Duelies fanning levering hip firing shotguns all feel unrewarding to use, an frustrating to die to . I find my self saying "spamming in the buyu every day already .

[@TragicTheGatheringMTG]

Hunt has had "spam" weapons for the majority of its lifetime. Just because you didn't encounter them in your matches doesn't mean you should flat out lie.

[@itshanhan1]

Honestly after playing it myself a bit and fighting against a few I thought this weapon was complete ass, but I also don't have the aim to consistently two-tap and neither do my enemies it seems. At 530$ it is way too overpriced for me, like the Drilling. Only having 4 shots with that fire rate isn't ideal, especially when the reload is that long. And also you lose out on range and hipfire spread since the barrel is so damn short. All in all it doesn't feel like a problem to me and besides that it's just not fun, being another weapon that murks the actual "ideology" of what this game once stood for.

[@Fate2071]

That is the thing right, yes it has an insane firerate but with only four shots in the magazin, or rather three in magazin one in the chamber, forces you to still be considerate with your shots. I personally think, atleast on distance it is fare less spammy as some people claim it to be.

[@itshanhan1]

@@Fate2071 I just dislike the note of forcing more weapons into the game that reward bodyshots. It's not great and it's not bad either.

[@mememachine6763]

Honestly not a fan of this update. The weapons; uppercut variants, cyclone, and also the event perks. Infernal getting access to basically immunity to all damage types is just frustrating.

[@lorddude123]

It's super broken and will auto center and has zero recoil

[@theddrain]

Haha I was killed at the shack of death good game it was fun

[@xXTheBennyXx]

I play this game because of the slow and meaningful gunplay. Where every shot counts and misses lead to punishment thats why I main crossbow. If that is removed and it turn into another spam game where just fire rate is superior then I will move on from hunt. Who the fuck asked for this? Cost is not a way to balance it just makes it even more unbalanced because the one that has it will have not only a superior weapon, but will probably face oponents with low chance of going agaist said weapon

By the skin of your teeth, is there any better way to win?
