The Centennial is a cult-favorite, but...

The Centennial 1876 is one of the most requested videos. It is slow, loud, cumbersome, and one of the worst guns in its class, and yet, people kinda like it. Let's talk about why.

Edit: You can watch the addendum (Part 2) to this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHebhZp4qKdnirs So the turncoat is two kids? And one kid is the arms and one kid is the legs. Is that right? Subscribe for more information.

[@EnderGraff1]

Done.

[@Hathsin]

Home, I didnt even get a notification for this, I'd recommend doing a quick community post for it!

[@baker90338]

Honestly how one would fix it would be making it the fastest firing option out of its alternatives, basically a bigger 1873 repeater, since that is literally what it is…I’m not joking. If you wanted a gun like what this game treats it as, a 1886 would probably describe it better, seeing how the 86’ was using browning’s 2 bar system, although it would be able to do more damage.

[@_Animikii_]

Before watch the video I'm going to say my opinion on it with my opinion honestly is I think it's a good gun because I think people overvalue high velocity. Now I get that the gun also does have 600 meters per second velocity but I'm talking about when you use FMJ so you carry your damage over distance with 400 is around about where most people who use the vetterli have to deal with it anyways and if you're good at using the vetterli Deadeye or Marksman variants did the Centennial is a breath of fresh air because you get better penetration, a lot of rounds, the option of a sniper scope, and in my opinion lover action rifles are the nicer ones to use when it comes to reloading cuz they basically universally don't have to deal with the drawbacks of needing bullet grubber

[@_Animikii_]

Your examples are both without FMJ and on top of that in the example where you did good it was because you hit their heads likely within the 180m distance meaning instant kill... beyond that my other question to be how long were you using it cuz it definitely could feel to me like the first one was probably hours into you playing with the Centennial and then the second one was from like your first hour... I mean that last little bit is more so just a little bit of a quick insult / joke but it is also to some degree or actual question of how long were you using the gun beforehand and both of those clips?

[@AurumChuChu]

*kills an entire team without reloading* "And now I'm going to tell you why this gun sucks." Classic HomeReel comedy, lol

[@jaredbowman7764]

And there is the single strength that he did not overtly point out. While the overall ammo count is horrendously low compared to it's peers the magazine count however makes it (potentially) useful.

[@russeshe001]

@@jaredbowman7764 Except that magazine count is trumped by half of the compact winfields, one of which has a speed loader, and matched by the Lebel which is basically just better in every way. Now, you could say "But the lebel costs more!". You'd be right! But then I could just turn around and say "Winfield High Velocity costs less". Then you have a faster gun, with more ammo, just as good velocity, with at least some viability with levering if you wanted it. Centennial is a gun. It will still kill people. But never better than something else could manage.

[@mikajacobsen860]

The weapon sound sound is actually really important. In Wolfenstein Enemy Territory players were consistently playing better with the Thompson than the MP 40 even though they had identical stats, the Thompson just sounded cooler to shoot. I swear the centennial is also overperforming relative to its stats and its all down to how the gun feels to shoot. EDIT: MP 40, not MP 42

[@WolfFireheart]

Follow up question because I want clarification! Did the player actually aim/play better, or was in the intimidation effecting the enemy. Like, if a winny hits me, I am not that startled or panicked. But if I hear a sparks being shot and a bullet slamming into the wall next to me, you damn well know it. I am panicked! Because that is a loud deadly bang, and I know the sparks hurts, a lot. But realistically, I should be more worried about the winny, because the guy shooting it managed to land his shot, the sparks did not. And the spark is now empty, the winny is not. So I am curious in your statistic, was it people actually played better. Which doesn't quite make sense to me. Or the people being shot at played worse because of "panic."

[@mikajacobsen860]

@@WolfFireheart This isn't my data. Here's the video that clued me up to the phenomenon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHXbmqh-mbeSipY Basically, players got a confidence boost from holding what they assumed to be a more powerful weapon. But an intimidation effect on enemy players may also have applied, that's hard to separate. EDIT: Typo

[@WolfFireheart]

@@mikajacobsen860 Pardon. I meant "your" as in the one you were referencing. Not that you had made it up or done the study yourself. And now I understand it better, I though the stats of the two weapons were known or easily seen. Like in Hunt. But if the people using the weapon thought it was a stronger one, that would boost their confidence, while also intimidating the enemy. So you are probably right, that it was a combination of both. Boost to the wielder, fear to the target. Also cheers, for taking the time to answer my question, much appreciated!

[@satoruriolu6132]

I feel exactly the same. I have no idea how the stats are but god damn it feels so good to use that weapon, something clicks with the centennial and I can't stop using it

[@9-b_b-9]

I want the Centenial to be really good because I love using it. But statistically it is the worst gun in the game because it doesn't do a single thing exceptionally well. I CAN'T count how many times it let me down. And there are so many things they could do to help it out. They could make its damage 125 or highter, they could make it better with levering, they could make it shoot a tad faster, they could give it more ammo, they could give it more playable variants, and they could give it more custom ammos. Just to name a few.

[@dankmemer5699]

IMHO they should Increase his dmg to 25, AND give it a faster firing speed. then i would be somewhat balanced. if that would be the case, then it wouldn't need more additional ammo because it would be too good

[@Batoutta]

600m/s tho

[@BradChadley]

@@Batoutta lmao

[@cassidy8307]

It's nowhere near the worst gun when there's stuff like the normal nagant/silenced nagant, bornheim, and springfield around

[@Summonick2]

Muzzle velocity is no joke. 600ms is really good, and makes the gun headshots far more likely, as well as increases it’s avg chance to hit.

[@PenitusVox]

The other day, I hit a guy in the arm with an arrow, and he immediately killed me in two centennial levering shots. I've never felt so insulted.

[@turulpeter675]

I think the intention with the Centennial was to design a gun that plays like long ammo, but has both the advantages and disadvantages of medium ammo. It has high bullet velocity, its fairly cheap, has a lot more ammo than long ammo guns, but lacks their damage, range, and penetration, not to mention the other negatives mentioned in the video. I think the gun deserves at least a damage and range buff.

[@eightplusone7512]

i think the range is fine if you consider it to be like a larger pistol caliber lever gun but the damage could do to be a little higher

[@bambi20082148]

Calamity Jane is one of those guns in Hunt Showdown that's a straight upgrade from the regular model instead of a more subjective asthetic

[@marcelstyles9037]

I truly genuinely enjoy using this thing, Winfield sights with no need to lead your shot? That’s pretty good and has enough ammo for just headshots. too bad it doesn’t have poison ammo since it’s my favorite.

[@marcelstyles9037]

I also unironically wish it had aperture sights

[@benjaminrodriguez8311]

It does have poison ammo

[@cz1723]

I thgink Centennial is honestly pretty good, but its usage isn't very much like anything else in its class. It's essentially a medium ammo rifle that needs to be played like a bolt action long ammo rifle. Levering is worthless, ironsight talent is godly. Its sheer velociy makes it an incredible gun with practice. Ammo count is... okay.

[@smileytrashbag5221]

My SO recently got into hunt and for some reason I cannot decipher, the Centennial really clicked with her, and became what helped her really start getting better at hunt. Suddenly after some time on this gun she's landing critical headshots, finishing wounded enemies, and clutching out fights like a seasoned vet sometimes, which is even more impressive with me pulling her into higher elo matches. I just cannot figure out why its the centennial other than muzzle velocity, but other fast bullet guns (like the Lebel) didn't do it for her.

[@Manglet762]

My theory is low damage output subconsciously showed she needs to get those headshots otherwise she risks losing fights, which translated well to other guns.

[@nou8830]

Iron repeater and fmj turns this thing into the longest range two tapper for under 300 dollars and it still has a fast velocity of 480 with fmj.

[@rattleheadx]

The Centennial continues Winfield's tradition of letting me down when I start to think they're worth using. Also, the scoped variant continues Winfield's other tradition of their scope's reach exceeding their grasp. It do sound good tho... And how 'bout that slate, amirite?

[@Yourantsally]

The regular winny is a beast and cheap, idk what you've been using.

[@rattleheadx]

@@Yourantsally I won't say you're wrong. That's what's so insidious about it. I used to bounce between "The Winnie is great!" and "This gun shoots flowers and rainbows instead of bullets!". I'd get great results - until I didn't. Eventually, they always let me down. Probably because my aim isn't just bad, but inconsistently so.

[@Taeerom]

Winny C marksman is awesome, though. It is part of my favourite loadout, with a cav sabre. That is mostly a cav sabre thing, but having both long-ish and mid range firepower with your melee weapon is awesome.

[@itchfinger]

Well i did manage to kill 4 duos with it while being surrounded with bounty as a solo player. I dont care about the stats when im having games like that

[@MadameRouzgar]

For a repeating rifle, centennial is too slow and medium ammo is... confusing at best. I'm sure it would be my favourite gun with a chambering and levering speed buff and some changes to medium ammo. I already love the gun, not while it is in my hands.

[@georgesomething]

Medium ammo is actually period accurate to the Winchester 1886. That more powerful cartridge was the reason why it became the most popular civilian rifle at the time. The slow repeating action, however, is very much not period accurate and frustrates me to no end as to why it is not on par with compact ammo Winfields. At least then it would fill it's own niche as the fast medium ammo rifle.

[@Darthsand21503]

The problem is the centennial, the problem is medium ammo period. Medium ammo needs a further damage drop off range across the board. Compact is plentiful and cheap, long is expensive and beefy, but medium is just meh. Shotguns are king close range, compact will out play anything at close range because of spam and ammo-a-plenty, long is king over range, but medium doesn’t feel like medium it feels like a weird compact hybrid because it doesn’t hit anywhere near what it feels like it should. Better pen and damage is negligible when fighting against compact spam and shotguns.

[@Taeerom]

Just give it 125 damage. That's all it really needs. Maybe a few more bullets. Medium ammo isn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be. Vetterli is one of the best guns in the game. The medium pistols are perfectly fine, even if they are not the very best. Springfield is fine for what it is, a cheap starter sniper. It's only Centennial that has an issue of not doing enough damage and the need to straddle a fine line between being distinctive from vetterli while also not overshdowing or being overshadowed by it.

[@brandon20435]

Superfecundation: "Superfecundation describes a situation in which each of the eggs are fertilized by sperm from different men, leading them to have different biological fathers (making the twins half-siblings)." Yeah sounds like a fun time. good word.

[@Jesse__H]

The Centennial with fmj is my go-to affordable ranged weapon. I love the iron sights. Add levering and a terminus hand cannon and you've got a really versatile loadout! I play on console so maybe its shortcomings are less obvious there... all I know is it's the gun I can hit people at range most reliably with, and that alone makes it a favorite.

[@ZombieJeff]

The Centennial really lives up to the whole saying "a Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better then a master of one". It doesn't excel in any of the areas the other two medium rifles do, but it lets you do reasonably well in just about anything. Which is to say, I love having it around so I can cover whatever hairbrained load out my friends are running and being able to support no matter when their bloodlust gets the best of them. I know there's other guns that'd do the job better but the centennial keeps me in any game.

[@anonvideo738]

Centenial always let me down whenever I use it (because leveling up gives me one). The muzzle velocity is nice, but then you have to lose a bunch of MV from FMJ. The sights are almost the same as the regular winfield ones, only to be more chunky. It got a nice ammo buff, only to still be the gun with the least ammo. It has a scope, only for it to be a sniper scope. I have no idea why crytek used to make this thing like 300 huntdollard and have like 15 bullets total.

[@ineedtpformybunghole]

It does have the fastest FMJ muzzle velo ingame iirc, which is nice. It's what I say when I'm simping it.

It is for this last reason that I look forward to your video detailing why the best loadout in the game is Silenced Winnfield Incendiary, Winnfield Vandal Deadeye Incendiary, levering, iron repeater, deadeye scopesmith, and optionally steady hand. Perpetuate with reelness, homefellow

I used poison rounds to beat some quests where they ask you to deal poison damage. Also, silenced shorty version can deal with immolators, but that's just it. It also seems that killing pork is a bit easier, but actually yep, I won't use it if I don't get the quest

[@akicauchemar7286]

I play a centenial poison build in a trio and it is genuinely fun. I play with regular friends and each one of us has a role to play. With poison sniper centennial and a reliable sidearm, I deal with PVE portion as poison melts monsters and in PVP tagging enemies while our dedicated mosin/lebel user snipes them. Solo poison is useless tho, it's niche for a reason and good if you have regular buddies for team cohesion.

[@BraindeadCRY]

Calamity Jane is just about the nicest looking skin in the entire game, so thats the only real reason I need to play the Centennial That the combination of its iron sights and the higher muzzle velocity seem to just mesh perfectly for me so I land at least 50% more headshots than I do with the vetterli also helps keep me solidly in team #CentennialBae #PraisedBeCentennial

[@honeybadger1810]

I’ve been in lots of fights with it and I appreciate the relatively high damage for a fast rate of fire. Often I find people can soak up shot after shot with it, though. It’s a jack of all traits that excels at nothing.

[@shiekastate]

I've been using the Springfield Marksman and Centennial Sniper FMJ a lot lately because they share basically the same muzzle velocity. The only things it's really capable of saying it does better is repeat fire at range, better retention and pen because of FMJ, and...that's really it. I view it as an upgraded Springfield Marksman, minus the upper body one tap to a 125 hunter. It's a shame too. I feel it getting 125 damage and better levering would make it competitive vs the other medium ammo guns.

"they are Whispering poison in your ear" take your like you bastard

[@codexnecrogeddon]

The reason I play the Centennial is that there is no other gun with that velocity at that price that isn't a single shot rifle. With 180m range, that means with iron sights, just about anything I can reasonably aim at, I can probably headshot. If I don't, I have 9 more chances. Levering isn't an issue to me, I just run a Pax or Scottfield with fanning on the side, and get ammo share because of it. Much better sights than Vetterli, too. If they never lowered the price, it would be a bad buy, but at $157 it's a banger. Just play it like you would a Lebel.

I loved this gun before standard Winnie got compact FMJ. It is kind of losing it's unique trait in that case. Delivering 123 at 80 meters on Body shots is pretty good for such an inexpensive weapon.

I hardly ever use speciall ammo because my AIM on console is a little bit clunky so i prefer to be able to refill ammo at any point in the game without looking for special ammo box. Besides it's absolute headclicker I can roll with centennial or winnie Talon at any time and still mow down people while my buddy supports me with mosin. I also have a weird habit of running LeMat or Cladwell new army with centennial and going kinda vice versa with winnie talon so I roll with scottfield spitfire. But it's just me being weird and eternally stuck in 4 star mmr

[@vescovinator]

I am part of the cult of the centennial. give it FMJ and it really does well. It really could use the benefit of 125 dmg. but, the best way to use it is if you know what your enemy has and punish that. if they have long get closer and spam wars you have 2-3x their ammo. compact and shotguns keep range as you can punch holes through sheet metal at distance. bring a spitfire or a swift with fanning for close and point blank, now you have a loadout good at everything great at nothing.

Dang I was actually hoping for some info on the poison ammo. Like, is it better for taking out AI? I just wanna know why I'd choose that over a silenced nagant with compact poison ammo

[@HomeReel]

it can one-hit-kill armored and immolator AI but it is not worth taking 22 poison bullets. You lose way too much damage and have no penetration. If you really want a quiet way to take down AI, sure, nagant with poison could work or the hand crossbow.

[@bknight3391]

I've always preferred the centennial over the compact ammo winfields, mostly because your engagement range is much better. Hitting arm shots on hunters feels bad always, but hitting body shots with compact at 40-60m is about as bad. The bullet velocity is the biggest selling point for me. It's quite a bit pricier than the Vetterli, but it's much cheaper than the long ammo guns with comparable muzzle velocity. I'm not sure why poison ammo exists for guns at all at this point, so I just act like it doesn't exist as well, so I wouldn't take that as a downside, but maybe the Centennial needs another ammo type. Then again, with it's fire rate maybe that'd be too strong.

[@jordanoconnell6103]

I don't understand how so many people just brush away the muzzle velocity. I'm good at leading targets but there are situations where even if you're good with lead it's r&g. When people are moving erratically at range or AD spamming it becomes a bit of luck with lowered bullet velocity. Also the less you have to think about lead the quicker you can put shots on target. No matter how quick you are it definitely takes longer to line up shots when you have to account for lead. You can say I'm on the Kool aid but I think this gun Is a head clicking machine that deserves a little more respect than people give it.

I don't hate centennial, I also don't like it, but for me the biggest issue is that it costs like 50 more than vetterli but it's more of a sidegrade (velocity at the cost of damage mainly), so there is no reason to pay basically 50% extra if the vetterli isn't really any worse

22 ammo in total, 10 of them are ready to fire. 180m distance of deadly headshot (fine, actually), 600 m/s (top-3 for common ammunition). 40m distance of deadly double-tap to the chest (lover including), 20m distance of deadly double-tap in any non-leg location. Also, even base ammunition could penetrate wooden walls, FMJ doing that even better, poison ammunition killing armoured and flaming mobs with a single shot. On the top of that, it can be used for really close-range with hip-shooting with Levering trait, so... What's your problem, man? It's a good weapon. And yeah, in compare to large caliber rifles, it has better rate of fire and more ammunition... About x1,5 more, even without additional weapon the same caliber. In fact, this means, you can wipe out whole team at 150+ meters faster, then they hide behind the cover, if you're good in shooting heads. Or, you can easily win sniper duels, when every half of a second between two shots could be difference between life and death.

Honestly I love the centennial if you have leveraging and it's great on bosses and up close with other hunter's

I love these kind of videos that bring out the guns that need a little more love(pax)

Centennial Sniper is pretty good IMO, since to make that gun work it's best to go for headshots anyway. Good video dude 😎

Honestly the worst feeling of the Centennial is when you get into a fight with someone who has a vetterli and you hit first but their superior fire rate wins them the fight or allows them to trade. Seriously. The lever action fires slower than the bolt action. It's such a shame.
