GENERAL i can't see. Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I can't see. I just want to have some fun in the game, but about 75% of the games I play I see this unbearable red sky in front of me, it makes me want to puke. I can't see the enemies, I just can't see them, that's all. The game turns into a continuous mess of textures, it's just disgusting. Maybe there's some setting that will help me?

GENERAL I never played a game that described so well how it feels to have Schizophrenia.

First of all, I love this game and already have a hundred hours in it. But it's crazy how this game makes you feel fucking paranoid. I recently got the 250 clues in Last Man mode. Every time I got the fourth clue, I'd spend the next three minutes hearing sounds that weren't there and thinking someone was about to spawn behind me.

But it's not just this mode. The normal mode is crazy too. Every time the bounty timer starts, it's the same feeling. And it's even worse when you try to double bounty.

GENERAL Should I retire hunters before prestige?

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm currently level 100 (prestige 0) and just completed the 5 x level 50 hunter achievement on Steam.

I am considering prestiging to level 1 just to unlock the cosmetics/hunter skins (I am rolling in it and have a stash full of weapons I don't know what to do with, so starting from scratch doesn't really bother me).

  1. Is prestiging even worth doing nowadays or is it a waste of time?
  2. If I want to prestige, am I better off retiring all of my hunters before? Does it even matter if my whole stash & money get wiped?
  3. If I don't prestige, is there any benefit is me holding onto those 5 level 50 hunters?

Thanks!

FEEDBACK I wish more thought was given to how the community playstyle will react to challenges.

This was such an awful idea for a challenge. I've never seen so much damn Concertina Arrow spam in over 1k hours of Hunt.

It just incentivises an otherwise generally unpopular and annoying kind of playstyle. To be clear, I don't blame the players too much, it's an understandable way to try and finish the challenge quickly. It just sucks the fun out of the game for everyone else not locked in the Concertina den.

FLUFF Came back to hunt after years, getting served at 6 stars

5 Upvotes

Used to play years ago, not wanting to brag but I was pretty good at it, usually playing solo and getting out with bounties every other match or so.

Adult life happened, and now I'm back and getting absolute served at every match. Every round is full of other 6 stars and no matter how much I'm struggling and dying I don't seem to be getting out of the 6 stars.

People out there with insane strats, like throwing a fire bomb followed by a quick dynamite so it can explode in my face before I can run.

Yesterday I died to a guy that just sat outside the compound hiding, and sending a swarm of bettles that made my character suffer of cancer, cholera and food poison all at once, before I could heal, another beetle was already at my face.

Anyway, I wish my rank would go down after years of not playing, or at least after dying so many times, there is a lot of cool new stuff in the game that I need to learn, but at 6 stars it's extra challenging. No way out other than through I guess.

FLUFF Ultimate Strategy

0 Upvotes

Been playing for about a week since it came to PS plus and I have figured out the ultimate meta.

If within the first 5 mins my team are shooting guns, making noise and acting like their IQ is in the single digits - I just leave them to die.

I hang back, wait for them to run straight into a well co ordinated team and instantly die. Then i just take what loot i can get and make for the exit 🤷‍♂️

GENERAL Reflections on the game after 3 hours.

Post image
60 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a new player with the PS+ and I really like the game ! But I have a question.

I’m playing in duo with my friend, and after 3 hours of play, we didn’t die once and we managed to walk away with the objectif every single time. In case we do some kills and after 2 or 3 persons, nobody is shooting or running on the final boss during the rest of the game.

So I wanted to know, is it normal the game is so easy at the beginning or we are very lucky ?
Because the game is really fun, but we won every time for now, We're definitely doing it on purpose shooting and running around to make noise and draw a crowd. By the way, I don’t know if it’s PlayStation’s lobbys but people are shooting as soon as the game begins.. it’s weird ?

So if you can give me an answer it will be cool ! Thanks you.

GUIDES Losing streak

2 Upvotes

I was playing solo vs trio with a 4,5* match MMR on average with a good 1.56 KD and I often got out alive from matches. Sometimes I reached even 5,5* team MMR as a solo, it was hard, but I enjoyed it a lot. But currently I'm on a big losing streak for over a month now. For the past 2–3 weeks, I'm on 2.5* team MMR. Suddenly I miss a lot of my shots, I don't have the confidence I had before and I generally feel that I've got a lot worse all of a sudden. The worst part is I die in most of the matches I enter from the first enemy team I happen to encounter. Always trio rushes with a shotgun or a random headshot from 60 meter away from a 1,5* new player with something silly...

Tried a lot of loadouts, shotguns, rifles and snipers too, but nothing works. Tried other tactics like only go for the bounty or go for enemy hunters by third partying, tried to do some sneaky ambushes but nothing helps.

Please don't think that I focus too much on numbers alone. I wrote it to describe the context of the situation. If I could get some good matches even in this bracket I wouldn't be here complaining and asking for help, but here we are....

I really like the concept of the game.. and i understand ill probably die plenty. But i want to understand what all is actually lost/kept on death. I understand loadout have a cost, does that mean i have to extract successfully to earn enough for said loadouts? Or do i earn money either way? (Like at a reduced amout). I want to get into the game, but i dont have much time to ay normally and id rather not get invested in a game that i wont feal like im progressing in. Sorry if the questions are dumb, im not sure how to get my questions across well.

SUGGESTIONS Can We Please Have an Option to ADS Automatically in Hunter Mode?

0 Upvotes

I started playing a little after launch. I wasn't there in Beta with all of the changes.

I know this is such a nonsense, small detail. With hunter I like default attack being melee, but I much prefer right mouse click to be ADS so I spend 98% of my time in gunslinger as a result. The extra button press is clunky and I feel like Hunter would be the preferred playstyle if I had the option to immediately jump into ADS.

Implimentation wise you'd still need shoulder aim accessible I assume, so possibly add a button/keyboard command to toggle ADS/Shoulder aim in Hunter mode instead?

I feel like having some choice in what your RMB action does would've removed the need for Gunslinger/Hunter modes entirely.

I'm aware of sprint-to-aim transition, this is not a good solution.

I need help. My game has been bugged for a few months now. I’ve already tried every possible option: I’ve uninstalled it, repaired the game files, and looked for solutions on Reddit and YouTube. When I launch the game, it loads normally, but the menu opens with a completely black screen. If I move my mouse around, I can hear the sound effects for the buttons and the game’s music. Can someone please help me? I really want to play!

FLUFF Went 9 straight matches without a kill ama

23 Upvotes

Played about 12 or 13 matches. 9 straight without a kill, hit players, just unable to kill anyone. In all of those 9 matches, I was one-tapped. The last one, the first death was via a kill trap.

I also jumped on (with the intent) to try and do the bloodskin interrupt jump challenge. Never found or fought the boss one single time.

High 5, low 6 on console is just a miserable hellscape.

GENERAL Is Hunt: Showdown losing its identity? And if you were in charge of Crytek, what would you change?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking about how Hunt: Showdown has evolved over the years, and I'm genuinely curious how the community feels about it.

What originally made Hunt special to me was its unique atmosphere, the tension of every encounter, the incredible sound design, and the fact that even the simplest weapons could be deadly in the right hands.

But as the game evolves, I sometimes wonder whether Hunt is slowly moving away from what made it stand out in the first place.

That brings me to three questions:

1. Is Hunt losing its original identity?

Do you think Hunt should focus more on its horror atmosphere, slower tactical gameplay, and survival elements? Or is the move toward faster, more competitive PvP a good thing?

2. Has the meta become too important?

One of the things I love about Hunt is that almost any weapon can be effective if you know how to use it.

But do you feel players are becoming too focused on meta-loadouts rather than experimenting with unusual weapons and playstyles?

What's your favorite non-meta loadout that you still swear by?

3. You're in charge of Crytek for one day. What do you change?

Imagine having complete creative control over Hunt for 24 hours.

Would you rebalance weapons, improve matchmaking, bring back older mechanics, introduce new features, or focus on making the atmosphere more terrifying?

You can change ONE major thing. What would it be?

I'm not saying Hunt was perfect in the past, and I'm definitely not against change. Games need to evolve.

But I do think there's an interesting discussion to be had about what Hunt should preserve as it moves forward.

I'm curious to hear from both veteran hunters and newcomers. What makes Hunt special to you, and what would you change to make it even better?

See you in the bayou, hunters. 🤠
