Playing My Favourite Loadout From 5 Years Ago 

Buy Hunt 60% OFF until March 8th! ----------) bit.ly/3kd20YY

I got introduced to hunt by a dear friend of mine who sadly is no longer with us, but I still play this game in order to keep those happy late night memories we had.

I like your highlight videos, but I especially like these videos where you commentate while you play. Also, great outhouse trick.

The only thing that hasn't changed is how unreliable randoms still are...

this game has come such a long way, thank you for your dedication to it and major part in my hunt showdown experience.

6:47 u cheeky guy

i forgot how the hunters sounded different back then

When the HS range of the silenced nagant was so short you had to be close to a hive to HS it. When tier 1 hunters started with 100hp instead of 150. When you could take two three slots weapons to the game with quartermaster (there was no two slots weapon). When you had to take Packmule and Frontiersman to open the fourth slot for consummables and tools. When there was only one map and two bosses. When you could choose between different contracts (the menu screen still exists for this but has only one choice). When there was no weapon skin, no hunter skin and some of the basic tier 3 skins where judged OP. When there was no book of weapons (and it was good). When the death scream was totally different (we can hear the old one in your first clip). When you could still see through the eyes of your hunter when you were downed. When a part of the community threatened to leave when Crytek announced the introduction of female hunters (sadly they did not :-/ ). When the animation to swap weapons was so much longer, then was reduced to nothing making the quickswap the only meta, then changed again to what we have today. As you said, almost everything changed.

THanks for the great trip down memory lane :3 You're my favorite Hunt Content Creator! Thanks for all the funny comments, all the clutches and all the tutorials :)

I was introduced to this game in November, and already have 180 hours! Great experience.

I began playing hunt in 2018 but only discovered your channel this year through a friends recommendation I wish I'd have known it earlier you have really been helping me getting back into hunt and having some fun!

I personally really enjoyed this talkative style of video man! I am a fairly new player so getting to know facts about old Hunt from the OG himself was very entertaining! I'd love more videos like this one for sure.

rachta has always been my favorite magic tutorial youtuber though out the years

This game was so scary when I started playing. I would just freeze when I heard enemies near. Until they found me and killed me lol

I started playing less than a year ago in april 2022 and its so fun to hear about and see what this game started out as, thanks for sticking with this game so people like me can continue to discover how awesome it is!

I only play since 2021, but I can see how the game has come a long way ! Very heartwarming to see you evoke your first hunt memories, hope you have loads of fun on this game for a long time !

I started playing in 2018 as well, at a time when Winfield + Machete was almost unstoppable. Nice video, cool to remember!

thanks for all the tips since i started playing. seems like making a video showing sneaky spots in each compound would be a fun video for you

I used to use decoys back in the day. I swear they used to make a better footstep sound when they hit the ground compared to today.

That shot through the door when they were rushing you with the flachette rounds was insane

Loved this video, felt like hanging out with your friend going down memory lane :)

Very motivational video, that clip from 5 years ago Rachta is unrecognizable. It literally looks like footage of one of my 3 star friends playing hahaha. If Rachta started out that way, then you too can get better!

Thanks for the great content, as always. Having been here since the first event (which would be... the Skinflint), I have nothing but praise for this game. While others may say it's bad progress, I think they're making good progress towards the future.

dude the quality of this video is insane!

Started playing back in 2021 shortly before Lulu was added through a twitch drop. My favorite change is the one where they made the Spider not run around for 30 sec after you deplete his HP so he can find a place to die like a dog finds a place to sleep

love that talkative style

6:46 Rachta, more of this in future videos, pls!

I like this kind of talking video. Would be fun to have a little nostalgic series where you talk about the 'good old times'. I play Hunt for 2 years now and never heard about the dolch beeing medium ammo. Also... looking at the old UI screenshot is like: 🥰

Sorry I missed this event. I’ve played since early access but recently took a LONG break (launch of third map). Couldn’t stand hunter mode but came back with gunslinger and played a ton. Took a break and now back into it with my son. Great vids!

"Magic Trick" lol. I started playing in '21 and so much has changed since then. Congrats on partner btw, you earned it.

I usually don't like shooters by myself (No cs:go or battlefield has ever appealed to me). But when I bought hunt on December 2021,I just fell in love with this game, and now I play it on a regular basis. Hunt introduced me to a lot of good people (discord friends, nice streamers, just game content makers)

Could you make a tier list of what you think the best weapons are in hunt, I think that would be very cool, love your stuff as always :)

Started playing tower ward end of Light the Shadow event. For a few weeks, I heard a lot about the annoying bugs and stats. I couldn’t really tell the bugs. I’ve seen so much change and improve, more than in some other games, but now I can see the little bugs and issues.

Wow, loved the trip back to years past. Question: What has been your favorite change to Hunt

u could ve done that with probably any gun) Nice vid, loved the talk, crazy games, gg

Started bounty hunting in the bayou December 2021. Just hit 1000 hours. I hope they keep refreshing the events!

I started playing after they released the second map. My favorite change they've done is to the nagant pistols. Before, if you had a dirty pistol, there was dirt on the iron sight, and I hated the recoil, it felt mistimed with the sound. Now they have changed both :D

The scarriest thing 2018 was the 6 Packs of Killer Dogs.... they where a REAL challenge back then

i remember joining during the opening days of the steam release. shit was so sweaty back then, explosives could perma kill, fire was the zone control, shotguns worked way too well, and the veterli was the weirdest but best rifle in the game. also night maps were so nice and dark. also absolutely forgot they changed the hunter death sound.

I like how the most replayed part of the video is the outhouse trick lmao

Been playing since early access all those years ago as well. Moved over to console because of more friends to play with. Still my favorite game.

Thanks for awesome content RachtaZ

great match, been playing since augst 2018, still my favorite multiplayer game

I remember being able to go into the hidden room in Port Reeker. That duck. I remember going to visit it cause they would add to it.

I laughed way to hard at the "oh a new game"-teleport 😄

Man, those old death noises bring back memories!

Old death sound was gold. Wish it would have never changed. Made me laugh everytime someone unexpectedly died around me😂.

Started playing hunt during closed Beta. Probably one of the more veteran players despite not having as many hours on the game as you (damn real life coming in the way xD). I remember when I first played I didnt know how to go into iron sight, and thought there only was croshair in the game. Im both happy and a bit sad to see the way the game has taken. Like anyone else with a passion for something, certain changes might not be for me. The one change I can think about right now is the changes to darksite vision with the bounty, I miss the old 10 seconds you had with it.

It was amazing, beautiful, pretty enjoyable!

You should do more vids like this. Just taking and stories. With how many hours in game you have I bet there are a few stories that you could share.

Hey man! Nice video as always. I think you should do a series on youtube were you break down different compounds with angels and rotations etc. Thanks!

Around 17:30 when you threw the frag bomb you threw it into the choke bomb right before it disappeared. That's what disarmed it.

Rahta bro, it`ll be nice if you made a video with your most unlucky moments/games. There is oftens bad games and unluck with me ( and everybody else for sure) and if people can see how even best hunt players like you have bad luck I think many people less feel sad after loosing hunt. Thank you for your vids

I have played for atleast 4-5 years. I remember idd that the Dolch was OP because it was medium ammo. Easier to grab ammo for and the smaller darker blue for the special ammo. It was always a hassle to find a small ammo box, it was either the wrong color or just not findable.

Toilet trick the best! As a new player(about a year+ in game) i hope for the brightest future of Hunt, such a good game!

Your early game footage is basically every console engagement today LOL!

Great video! I'd love to know: if there was one change you could reverse, what would it be?

LOL love the toilet magic trick Rachta

The feeling after a good hunt did not change 🔥

1:03 that old dying sound :D :D :D

Been playing Hunt since the beta. I remember playing alot of Winfield + Machete as a solid budget loadout :)

Nice videos mate. I would like to know what was the best change and what was the worst over the years?

I play this game since closed beta or alpha, not quite sure. I totally forgot how much i miss the old sounds somehow. The crows and hunters... it's wierdly nostalgic.

Thx for great vid RachtaZ. I want to ask mb you can help with sound setting thank you in advance I’m 70 hours in game.

that toilet trick was so DRY it was funny lol

I remember the good old days of hunt. We only had Stillwater and hunters were lucky to spawn with 125 hp at max. The veterli was the true budget meta gun. And the Winfield was the spamfeild

Rachta remember when you could only have 3 tools and 3 consumables and packmule and frontiersman gave 1 extra slots 😂

Actual dauntless value you love to see it

Do you remember if it was somehow possible to throw a fuse in the menu screen so that it would light up the background? My friend keeps saying he saw a very old clip once but never found it.

Been playing since alpha. What a game.

I play the game since 3-4 weeks and I love it. I wish I could´ve expierenced the old times.

Shotguns used to deal bleeding damage, winfield had infinite headshot range... graphic settings were only presets like low, medium, high and also motion blur on/off... shoot, Rachta I feel old :x

the different audio on meele and death is smth. I wish would come back

I was trying to remember the changes that ghoul went through. I remember a time before it healing you from killing grunts, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

I remember my friend played a lot of Hunt, and I was always interested in it. I bought the game on December 25, 2018. It's crazy how much the game has changed since then, and I remember when Legendary Hunters didn't even exist. I love the game though, definitely the best PVP shooter. I also remember shotguns being extremely powerful at one point.

I can tell you one Thing that never change And thats the fun Hunt is love❤

I think the cains camping in bushes with sparks sniper hasnt changed

It was so weird to hear old hunter injuries and death sound.

I don’t care if your videos started being more talkative Rachta, you have a shockingly soothing voice, dunno if it’s the accent but it tickles something in the back of my head. And for my case, I started playing hunt in the tail end of the very first event in the game, the OG Halloween event, primarily because my elder brother convinced me to play(Which is ironic since he doesn’t play anymore and I have over twice his hours in the game) I still remember those early days though, were I couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn, and I was so scared of the bosses I would genuinely refuse to go into boss lair when solo cause I was scared.

Great video 👍

I think they could bring back the tier-based matchmaking as an option like skill-based matchmaking and including trios in your game.

I started playing in 2019 and i wish i would have played earlier! My fav weapon was and still is the centennial. I remember how bad it was lol. I also remember the different winfield recoil and the thing with the sparks when reloading. Rachta did you know that the sparks rifle reload animation was changed because it was unrealistic?

My first build was a lebel and a caldwell pax,i used to buy it every game

I have also played since early access. Remember when they used to update a roadmap on their website? They had promised us a Hunter Outfitter and a Weapons Crafting system. I know by now its probably not in the works anymore, but it could have been such a different game. I preferred the old main menu where you can use middle mouse button to shoot flares in the menu background, the UI felt less cluttered as well. I miss the old quartermaster that allowed me to carry An Avto and a Crown and King at the same time, but I'm glad it was nerfed. Avtomat used to cost 999 Hunt dollars only and you had 15/30 ammo from the get go. It used to shoot only 2 bullets when you tap it and the recoil was far more manageable then now. Most importantly, Trios update really turned the game from just stealth hunting into a full blown "Cowboys Yee Haw gunfights" game, i felt that was really the best update. Used to only have male hunters and no female ones. They changed the death audio because their first changed version sounded like Homer Simpson saying "D'oohh!"

Rachta telling nostalgic stories about Hunt from 5 years ago Casually wipes 2 duos Continues telling stories True gamer energy right there

Super cool video. Startet Hunt in 2020 :)

Back them you could use decoys to destroy the lamps on chicken pens and dog kennels, that's prob why you had them.

Question: Back when the match making was based on bloodline tier, how did the game handle matchmaking for teams with players of different tiers? Was it based on highest tier of player in the team? Regardless, tiered matchmaking seems like it would be more fun. I don't see why they couldn't still have that in addition to MMR, other than _maybe_ potentially splitting the player base up between too many servers, causing a higher chance of having empty servers for a team / player. But still, I don't think it would be _too bad._

Need a Podcast with Rachta Z & some more veterans talking about old Hunt. With some background gameplay from really old footage. Huuge could be one of the guests.

One thing that hasn’t changed is how amazing the game is 😊

Also started playin in alpha. I remember the old days when fanning used to be so OP and same with sparks/uppercut Quick swap double tap

Began playing near the end of scrapbeaks introduction to the game, man the game has changed quite a bit, still makes me mad 😂 that hasn't changed

I remember when Choke Bombs were in the Consumable slot and no one was playing them

That toilet cut was 10/10

New content in next update, toilet teleporters to get around the map faster. (awesome transition man)

I remember when the game came out you could choose between a single or double bounty match

Funfact: Even health bars got changed( am I wrong or did high tier hunters even have more HP than low tier hunters?) But I am pretty sure back then it was possible to have 2 mega big bars and that was it for some hunters.

Toilet magic trick so OP!

Please tell how optimization changed over the years. I have participated in beta prior to release, I had intel i7 3770 + GTX1080 + 16GB RAM + SSD. It was a beefy system, but I remember that the loading took like 5 minutes, the performance was terrible on anything above the lowest settings. You just stood there in the start of the match while the world loaded around you. The gunplay was terrible too as it was impossible to see anyone on low graphics in those dense bushes. I fell in love with the game but I felt It was above my hardware's league. I just started playing it in 2022. It's awesome with the event and Grounded Pact.

I bought the game the day it was released, back then there was no South America servers so I was forced to play on NA with 120 ping, good times
