Hunt Showdown: The guide for players who can't win gunfights

Welp, I wanted to like this game but you have confirmed that the gunfighting is too backwards of reality and silly. Where’s the Insinzo/Hell Let Loose with Old West guns?

this game is a pure campfest

I only have 0.94 kd in hunt Is that good ? For hunt

I just started this game and I'm HOPELESS at it. I have yet to kill a single player, but I really dig this game and want to get decent at it so I'm STUDYING this game haha. Thanks for the tips.

When bullets starts flyin'







My cowardly sniper ass starts runnin' ⛵ 🏃🏻

I co-sign this. This is what I have seen friends need to improve when they are struggling.

Wow this video is a year old but I wanna say that I disagree with your first point on getting better at aiming. You say to not line up your targets and to just shoot as fast as possible.

While I do agree that will help with aim a little, but I do not believe that forgoing lining up shots period will help someone’s aim the best. Yes there are places where you have no time to line up your shots, say close quarters combat in buildings when shotguns and other 1 shots and very likely, but when you just go about just speed aiming shots beyond that, you will more likely miss your shots as you are not putting thought into shots which stops you from being able to better understand why you missed and register what happened so you can learn from it.

I find that when speed aiming you should take half a second or brief moment longer to place your shot, but no longer. You will notice yourself landing shots more often when you do this, especially when you hit certain periods of time where it feels like you just can’t land a shot. Once you get good landing shots this way you will get better at the quick aims and head empty firing of your gun.

Other than that, thank you for posting this excellent video!

Honestly this is probably why hunt will never be very big. At some point all these things cause players to leave. Along with the aimbot that is prevalent. The lack of mm on soul survivor doesnt make it better. No one is really going to spend a hundred hours playing when its just not fun.

Honestly playing console I have died more to people wielding melee and just one tapping me

protip that's save me alot of deaths recently. never peek the same window once you've had fire returned to you.

Just reading the title I knew this video is for me.

as a hunt player who struggled hard in the beginning.
i've learned that it is a combination of what guns you run and skill level.
keep eating dirt until you progress. it is easy to get "tunnelvision" when you are under pressure and all of us deal with this issue. literally human survival instinct
i won't say im a pro. far from it. ill rather say that the steps i learned increased my likelyhood of survival
1. wait.
2. change positioning if you've been spotted, if you can.
3. don't stand in open windows
4. stamina shots are POG
5. don't be scared of engaging in combat, you have to eventually. just keep going for it.

lastly bullettravel. if you're like me and enjoy sniping, learn the bullet travel based on the guns you're using and the ammo you equip. a sniper with slow M/S can be your downfall if you are unable to predict certain movement. but learning to use a slower M/S before you move on to faster is better if you want to get better at it

Hunt made my aim so much better, thst cod is now boring

Let's talk about those crispy grenade throws :D

It’s also very important to finance an expensive RGB gaming PC.

It’s hard to get kills with 20 FPS

Dont get into fights in the middle of fields. Save yr shots. Be aggressive. Watch yr teammates 6 and flank

Shit I thought it was just me 😂

Useful guide, thank you. I have over 2500 hours in the game, but still love watching the game guides.
Unfortunately, even with my great experience, having 6 stars, I often lose firefights because the server doesn't register hits on the enemy. My ping is only 10ms, but a bullet can just hit the wall behind the head of an enemy that hasn't even moved. This happens SLIGHTLY too often, I just don't know what to do.
In a game where a single shot decides the outcome of a battle, the hits don't register... This is unacceptable.

One thing I’m trying to do more is when I see top level players play once they fire at a target they instantly move they almost are moving while firing and behind cover when the shit hits

after 3k hours in the game i still sometimes have some days that i get instantly headshot by every bad player i meet, even when i position myself well and have good movement and aim none of it is going to save you from RNG spam, its just something you have to accept that you cant predict stupid so playing well against some bad 1kd 5 stars is actually a bad strategy. the most consistent strategy for me is to be passive and defensive for the first moments of the fight just to read your opponent a little, and then go hyper agressive on them to apply pressure and cause panic. huge majority of players will start to panic fairly easily and if you keep applying pressure giving them no room and time to heal, their aim will go to shit from shaky hands, their positioning will become random because they arent focusing, and you get free kills.

good one

"The guide for players who can't win gunfights"
First tip: Aim better

Video summary:
Get good

Is there a tip to win gunfights 1v3 because it looks like i allways get matched with 2 brain dead russians power inting

Great video. Someone I used to play Tarkov with also taught me to always take a 90 degree on an enemy in relation to your team. I always think of this when people stack, then get wrecked.

In one bounty I experienced something odd. I entered the blanc brinery compound and encountered a solo hunter on the roof standing still. I took aim with my rifle (Mosin Obrez Drum), aiming down sights and went for a headshot. Missed. I aimed and fired again. Missed. Aimed for an upper torso shot and missed the next two shots. The enemy hunter, then fired back from the hip and hit me easily. I dodged and retreated. He fired 3 shots total. All from the hip and all 3 hit me. Dead. I spectated him to see if he was cheating. Two more hunters (duo?) entered the same way I did. He aimed down sights and attempted to headshot the hunter at the rear who was in the open. He missed. He aimed for an upper torso shot and missed. That hunter ran to cover. He switched to the nearer hunter who was now shooting at him partly behind cover. They traded shots and the hunter I was spectating missed every shot he fired and the enemy hunter hit every shot he fired. The same thing that had happened to me. I'm left with this, shot accuracy has little to do with skill, aiming or weapon choice. Aiming down sights correctly and within range should hit 100%. Every time, but that doesn't happen. Something else that we cannot control determines whether we CAN hit our enemy hunter target or not. Is this something in the game programming? I know desync is a huge problem, but when you and your target are not moving that should not be a factor.

you guys fucked up wasting time on COD with controller LOL now you suck heh.

I can't win gunfights, because there's never a gunfight. I'm always shot in the back from some bush camper with a sniper rifle. That's why I hate the PVP in Hunt. I want a PVE Bounty Hunt Co-op mode.

Ive gotta say ive found really huge differences on regions, I dunno why but I find US east rly easy servers to play on. Try europe and u will get demolished for some reason

My main issue is my PC fucking me over with tons of performance issues and lag despite every attempt at optimising the game I’ve done so far. Feels good man.

I started playing recently since the winter sale and I am for sure average. From what I have learned on improvement is simply practice on learning what will guarantee consistent improvement. Environmental awareness
Movement
Noise
Cross hair placement
Know what to hold and when
Etc.....
And lastly...................

Take a break from the game after some matches. It's hard sometimes to put the game down but sometimes when you're on a roll or on a losing streak but a healthy snack break or just playing something else to recharge is best to help you get into a mood that's fit for playing at your best.

genuinely useful advice, thank you

Watching good players makes me realise my eyesight just isn't sharp enough to do well. Good players seem to aim using the force to me, I just can't see what they're aiming at!

I'm horrible at aim. Explosives, traps and poison are my best weapons.

Yeah that's me, here is hoping this video helps because I am one more match of getting wrecked while people insult me over comms from uninstalling and never touching this again.

The biggest problem is you can't like, vent, or get help or anything- because the community is so damn toxic that if you admit you are struggling and frustrated, they will just double down on heavy abuse. It's one of the most inhospitable "communities" i've ever seen.

Why is he literally not doing any of the things hes talking about? Is all the footage like the dont do this stuff?

Setting your crosshairs to be at “neutral” level for lining up shots reminds me of Metal Gear Online. Totally different game but similar advice

I can't win gunfights because the moment the player is aware of where I am and I am in open space or behind a wooden wall from up to 500 meters away I get headshot.

Thank you for the video.
As new play who only have had the game for five days my biggest problem is positioning. As most players I meet are much more experience with the game and the layout of the maps they easily navigate to a position I did not even know they can attack me from. This is something I can only learn the hard way.

Even great tips like this can't save you from the pure blindness of night-time

I need a boxing bag cause of this game

I know i can't aim but my controller having drift shure dont help

Biggest thing is thinking you should only crouch walk if you have to.
You should ALWAYS be slow running or crouching when approaching a compound. If you run up then anyone whos already there or within 50 meters away will already know your exact location because people like me use headsets that can hear you from like 100 meters away.

Always a tightrope to walk with aim really. Sometimes, taking the extra second to aim during an exchange will win the fight because it landed the killing blow and sometimes it is what got you killed, though part of knowing is also taking note of your opponents; are they panic shooting and just letting loose wildly? Are they also taking time to line up shots? These are things that also play into improvement.
And the big one: Play what works for you. It is good to explore other weapons and go into uncomfortable zones (personally been trying to use the Sparks...ugh I...ahem...hate that weapon...feels so clunky) however if you are getting success with hitting shots on a winfield but can't hit dick with a mosin, don't fret it. End of the day, the best way to improve is to enjoy the game so play what you love...unless that is being a little bush wookie try-hard sweatlord in which case...have fun! Hope you have good games. Didn't expect that did you?

true i missed 8 shots with a sniper vs a guy who rounds around becouse he dosent know where i shot from but as soon he spots me he headshots me from 155 meters away XD hunt is a hard game i even died vs boss the same day and vs normal mobs im new but i like the game the problem is im realy bad at it

I Have died too Many times beacouse having no friend than I develped an skills to not find anyone in the entire game

My recommendation for aiming is confidence. Dont be afraid of missing.

I love your videos. Youre verey analytic and nailing things to the point.

miss your videos

But I'm a ps4 player. Jk I hardly play that Much I just suck

Positioning is just as important as gun skill in any gunfight
