10 Tips I Use A LOT in Hunt: Showdown

I thought I just could not get good at this game. It seemed like everyone always outclassed me. I then tried this out on my PS4 and I absolutely destroyed most games. My KDA literally doubled.

I’m convinced there is a massive cheating problem on the PC version. The console version actually felt fair and didn’t seem like everyone knew where I was all the time.

Thank you.

A lot of these dont apply to console, and if youre playing on PC your opinion doesnt matter to me

mans a ping abuser.

How do you slam fire a weapon? Like I saw a pistol where he shot very very fast by pulling the lever down with the left hand while holding in the right hand in game

This one does not seem to be common knowledge but you can open doors towards yourself if you walk backwards whilst opening.

Something I have always said holds back newer players and hooks into one of your points is that Weapon skins do not tell you what the original gun is. When you are new and dont know what all the guns look like (with or without a skin) and you are looking to resupply your ammo, you end up not knowing which guns hold your ammo type because you may not know what a "Bear's Tooth" is. Add to this that you may not have all the time in the world to reload yourself on the dead bodies before new hunters arrive and you have a very stressful moment for newer players. Its a small thing but I don't think vets of the game really think about it.

this is pure gold

The biggest two problems in Hunt are shit servers (desync, lag) and cheaters. I am constantly being killed through walls when I make no noise and they can't see me. NO, there are no cracks for them to see through. I pick walls that don't have holes to see through on purpose. Yesterday I was legit killed through TWO DOORS. Both doors were closed when I died, after dying he rushed my body and opened both doors. The distance was extremely far too. Another guy who was wallhacking legit waited until I turned my back to check behind me. Unlike him, I wasn't wallhacking, so I had to cover in front and behind. Sure, you could say timing, but then I spectated and he started shooting explosive arrows at the boss, OUTSIDE THE LAIR, with no sight on where the boss was. and the boss was taking damage! he was legit cheesing the boss from outside the lair, and far enough away that he had no visual. the only way to know where the boss was inside the lair was to wallhack.... period. so besides the servers being dogshit, cheaters just have the run of the game. And its legit ruining it. And yes, i am 5/6 star MMR rated. I and not some 2 or 3 star average scrub. and I will never get to 6 star rated because of these fucking cheaters.

dont get into a fight in a middle of field seeks some sort of cover

amazing

the ignore window focus follow tip got me lol was clever so I subbed on principle alone lmao

Remember to have fun with the game! This game is easy to burn out on. Meme loadouts are needed sometimes. Go in with nothing but an axe and 4 stamina shots and make monkey noises at people.

Best tip: dont play with randos

I’ve been using the lanterns in buildings to create smoke clouds! Because I like saving my firebombs for hunter bodies

I didn't know you could see your partners loadouts, super helpful!

If you start walking backwards while interacting with swinging gates, doors and windows, you can open them inward, perfect for punishing leakers looking for the door to open outward

The last two are a game changer for me lol

I actually did learn a couple things from this, the 1st one I learned was to use the throwables for cover, I never thought of it like that, the 2nd was closing doors from a distance, and the 3rd was the Auto Interact. That last one is HUGE!

I found better tips in the comments section..

With the lever doors, you don’t need to hit the lever to get them to drop. You can also shoot the door itself.

Wow. 800 hours and I had no clue about 9 and 10.

Here's a tip: Never crouch walk. Just don't do it. You are a sitting duck and not as silent as you think. It's not worth it.

Those last 2 are friggin juicy

Damn a couple of those were super helpful thanks

you can kill amulators with poison darts

This game makes me even more upset than cod😭

auto interact is more useful than i gave it credit

Most recent trick that I learned is that when you have a Aperture weapon you can actualy lower the aperture sight and use guns normal iron sights
you do that by using key to swtich ammo types usualy X on PC

i tried the auto intreact function for a couple of weeks but i found that opening the gates where you have to hold kind of sucks because you need to look away after you start interacting or you have to release the button at the perfect time or you will just close the door again.^^
that alone made me go back to non auto interact, i rather press interact 5 times to get all my throwing knifes back then having to open a door twice in a gun fight! :D

The biggest tip on this game is DONT PEEK THE SAME SPOT TWICE AFTER SHOOTING

this tip is pretty specific but if ure a combat axe user youll love to know it. You dont need to heavy attack hunters to kill them, a light attack will be enough, this way you will avoid the heavy breathing sound and a horizontal blow is easier to land and capable of taking multiple targets and once

Another great tip is to use the ghoul perk, as it allows you to communicate with grunt ai to gain intel.

How do you regain health chunk after a match? I survived a match but lost a health chunk, in menu it’s not coming back so how do I fully heal my hunter in the menu?

This is insane

Best tip is always burn those you kill which some players never do which is strange to me and never play with randoms, some are great and some are totally braindead

Your voice reminds me of F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine.

Meh. Needs a ps5/xsx update. Looks, plays and feels like shit.

Do not reload before grabbing extra ammo, because without bullet grubber you can lose a round for no reason. The extra ammo will be added to reserve, it will not cap it. For example, a 5/10 round weapon can also be 0/15. You can hold a total of 15 rounds, not 5 in the weapon and 10 in reserve.

You can turn off laterns w/ alternate fire button to help sneaking when playing night maps

Another "useful tip" is when using the gunslinger control scheme you can hold "Q" to lower the gun. This can avoid getting wallbang when the gun is up or just to have clear vision while you are in not a fightl.

I knew everything but one - no 10, thanks for that :)

I'm still trying to figure out if using a flare/fusee Close to yourself, Close to your Enemy, or Betwen both you And your enemy, offers the best visual blinding effect to be harder to shoot

Genuinely helpful as a new player, had no idea about audio distortion!

fwiw visual cover isn't a thing. that's concealment, cover vs concealment is a pretty important distinction in a firefight and is a real life thing. /pedantic mode off

Are fmjs worth it on a single shot rifle, say a martini henry

With cages you can hit it with melee to close it also.
