[@redhawkfour]

Never expected my man Rowby to be trudging his way through the Louisiana Bayou. Welcome to the Hunt my friend.

[@JWBaSiTo]

He will die by my Uppercut

[@HuntShowdown]

Thanks for the amazing video and giving an insightful look into Hunt - it's time to hit that prestige button!😈 We have big plans in store and new content on the horizon. Stay tuned for more info coming soon!

@@corrows9685 I am confusion , what do you mean

[@df_productions]

He ain’t mad, he wants him to prestige so he’ll keep playing. Also could you add a martini Henry shotgun variant, it was a real gun.

[@Punicia]

Tutorial was dog water. Thought I was playing Skyrim. Should’ve at least explained how clues and extraction points work

[@allmightyorange]

the maximum amount of players in a hunt showdown game is 12, including you and your teammates. A lot of people try to track where all other teams are to avoid getting sandwiched when attacking another team. What makes this game such a gem is the audio, and you can use that with other clues from the map and darksight to track where the other hunters are moving and fighting at.

[@zomaga1]

He told advised to uninstall after getting to 5 * mmr. :D

[@Mrdestiny17]

The audio is stellar. Every item in the game has a unique sound when using it or even equipping it. Knowing enough of the sounds you can tell exactly what they're about to throw/use

[@Mrdestiny17]

@@zomaga1 I try to stick around 4 stars. I'm probably really a 5 star player but I cant stand 5 star lobbies sometimes. Everyone uses long ammo and plays the same. 3-4 star lobbies are awesome cause most dont really care about having the best loadout and will be more bold. Sometimes I get outgunned by 3 stars just because they did something insane that no 5 star would ever try

[@deadeye1414]

@@Mrdestiny17 thats when the shotgun campers come in play:)

[@xornedge8204]

Ngl 12 is too low. It should be 24 because of how large the map is. Oftentimes I run around the map without a single player in sight. And a couple of times I’ve extracted with the bounty multiple games in a row without a single PVP fight.

[@jabloko992]

One thing I really love about this game that he didn't mention is how there's no magical blue circle constraining your team to a single point. The whole 'converge on one location for an epic clusterfuck' is a lot more organic, it can happen at any time and you have the option to completely ignore it, because you're late to the party, got downed once in a previous fight etc. You can just live to fight another day.

[@RED_XLR]

Yea i agree. I also like that you spawn in with weapons and have no need to jump from a corny bus-plane to choose where to land just to run around like a headless chicken until you find a gun. A lot of mechanics in BR are so stupid and i hate them. This game does the genius thing to remove like 99% of the things i hate from a regular BR. And the bounties is the way, the best way to make people converge and kill each other. It's absolute genius!

[@Styxx_lethe]

I'm a veteran to this game and utterly hate it sometimes, but watching you talk about it makes me wanna go play again.

[@jacksonw453]

My biggest problem is I'm level 10 and it puts me up against people that are level 100 I kinda feel like the PvP element is the most distracting part

[@travisumbel6877]

@@jacksonw453 If you are level 10, the MMR system likely hasn't given you an accurate rating yet because you have played so few matches that it doesn't know what rating you are yet. As you keep dying and sucking, it will drop your rating down and match you with other people who also suck. Don't worry too much about what level people are. I've played with a lot of level 100's who still shoot at zombies and run into crows even after I ping them.

[@oniemployee3437]

I tried this game a while ago because a buddy of mine was a Veteran of it and I thought it was pretty fun despite the fact that i'm in europe and he in one of the Carolinas and that I was literally *shaking* at the end of it. Then I tried it by myself and, contrary to my every prediction, I lived through it! Hell, I even killed a guy! I decided that that was enough and booked it towards the boat to have my adrenaline-induced parkinsons subside since I was NOT feeling good despite being overjoyed to have not died in my first solo round. Then in my last game with that same buddy we spawned next to a 3-man spear team and all died. Fun game, but not my thing.

Nomad, Psycho, Alcatraz, and Prophet I love the whole crysis series and I played them mostly on consoles so it's got nothing to do with them melting PC's for me. They're amazing games with a lot of player freedom, a sick sci fi storyline, beautiful environments, and great mechanics.

[@goman2650]

maybe hunt is the best battle royale game you've ever played because it's not a BR, its an extraction shooter like tarkov and marauders. the point of a BR is to eliminate all other players and be the last one standing, hunt's goal is to get the bounties and extract, and while it helps to kill the other players, it's not required.

So many videos in such a short time! I’m impressed! I appreciate you trying to cover different topics, despite what KZbin does to people who take two steps outside of the pot they’re forced to stew in. Though with semi competitive multiplayer games still seem like a theme. Has the creative process been much different creating the scripts for these videos?

[@RowbyVids]

It's harder for sure. With DBD I had grown really comfortable with the structure I used. Though I do want to learn how to write funnier/interesting videos. So even if it's hard, I want to try anyway.

[@jake7769]

Bought this game randomly years ago crazy addicted now.

Happy hunt is still getting some shine over the years, it really is a good game with interesting mechanics, 3-4 star lobbys are still some of the best rootin tootin shootin you can have. 5 stars are a bit try hard and 6 stars are just no fun unless you like camping in the bayou.

[@magnus3709]

I love this game so much

[@Wafelkowiec]

Also important thing to mention: game is made for duos. (Though you can play solo or trio, and solos get their own mode; a more typical BR with finding loot and last one standing) Pick ups can be used twice (once by each player) there ar 2 bounty tokens. There are 12 players per match though servers don't have to be full and solos and duos can opt to play against trios (There is no solo queue for bounty mode, you go against duos at least). PS. Rowby you concertina-bunkering son of a *howdy* come out and fight like a proper southerner, just like our inbred forefathers. (Real hunters main melee)

[@PuddleOfCats]

Damn blackout club reference, very nice

[@T-Bone_SSteak]

Top tip. Either kill the boss really quickly with a bomb( unless it's the assassin) or kill it quietly with an axe or hammer preferably, or the bomb lance melee. Otherwise good luck

[@plague1739]

Or you and any potential teammates can grab axes and beat it to death. Works like a charm.

best multiplayer game ever. playing it regularly since late early access and got over 2000hours

[@jamescook7206]

Had a fun match last night actually where another team got to bounty number one and was fighting their way to the extraction point, meanwhile my team hit bounty number 2. Once we finished banishing we noticed that that bounty number 1 was sitting right next to an extraction point, and had not moved for almost 15 minutes. So we decided to go and see what was happening. When we arrived. We found four dead teams. And the bounty just sitting there dead. We picked it up and extracted, of course . But I would’ve loved to known what happened that ended up with four teams, killing themselves, and no one extracting.

[@darby2314]

It's always good to have fresh meat in the game. I mean new players... It'll be fun to check in with your play style changes once you've dropped 1,000 hours into it.

[@uncontrolledhormones]

I remember one was named Alcatraz from the second game after the first protagonist dies since the suit acts like a parasite

[@DrunkGeko]

Adding onto the pile of commets that likely mentioned it already but.. melee bosses Not only is it silent but it's often times a lot faster. Just find a hammer or a hachet in the compound, swing it twice at the boss then get out of the arena until the "rage phase" of the boss ends, repeat another 3 times and it's down Unless you have one of few specific weapons, bullets do little damage to bosses while a sledgehammer chunks 1/8 of their HP bar per hit

[@jarrodc.7876]

This is my second favorite game to play

[@smash8865]

Hunt is not a battle royale. That's a genre based on the japanese cult classic which challenged participants to survive the ever-shrinking boundary and eliminate each other to decide the soul-survivor. Hunt has a mode called just this, but it's basically a shopping spree for getting better hunters in the morning.

[@mrfoxypants809]

[@Micromation]

You can sticky bomb the Assassin - just not solo. You need to stick the Sticky on first aggro animation and have your teammate to throw the Molotov at the same time so it instantly detonates before he turns into cloud of cockroaches. The window is rather tight so can be frustrating with randoms but if you play premade it's perfectly viable after a bit of training.

[@MrOrdosan]

I did the trick with explosive Xbow (but I think any explosive ammo works or a REALLY good shot) but you just toss the stick at its feet and instantly shoot as soon as your weapon raises.

[@Micromation]

@@MrOrdosan Yea but it doesn't deal as much dmg as sticky exploding on him (3/4 of entire HP) - and the thing with sticky is, since it deals 1dmg on impact, it triggers it to turn into a cloud too fast to detonate it solo.

[@hextech3161]

I love watching a new players take on this game. Also it’s dark sight not “dark sense” but hey welcome to the bayou, first tip I can give you is to swap your controls over to hunter from the default gunslinger, you’ll probably hate it at first, it may even get you killed for a few games, but once you’ve learnt it the game is so much more smooth and you’ll be thanking me in no time! Good luck hunting partner! Edit: I’ve watched the whole video now, so many false claims man. There is much for you to learn :p I want to say at least 20% of what you said was absolutely wrong but I could see how a new player could see it that way :p Scrapbeak only drops constantina if you shoot him while he’s enraged. I don’t recommend you shoot any boss while enraged since their reduction to damage during this time is through the roof. None of the bosses pose any threat once you learn how to fight each one and an average hunter can kill them solo easily without losing any HP.

[@TheOverArchiver]

The Blackout Club reference caught me off-guard. (As did “Delsin Rowe-ing”)
