Playing The Worst Loadout in Hunt 

Nah, its buffed, so you can leggit kill with torso hit. Its also not nerfed against bosses. Tbf i would nerf all the tools range to make equipable melee weapons viable

@@iMost067 Sadly after weapon changes, theres no reason to run machete at all, cus now the katana is a 1 slot weapon with insane damage, range and both slash and cut potential.

@@Sadeyr obviously its one of the worse melee weapons, tho i think railroad hammer is worse because of weird animations, blunt damage and low speed.

@@SadeyrMaybe if someone is in a pinch? i mean I've been broke before but i ain't running the machete, knuckle knife does the same thing

​@@SadeyrKatana broke melee, its OP in melee category. It has: damage, range, speed, and now slot; Martialist counters Lance/Saber and makes Whispersmith and Silent Killer pointless. Perks that are staple of melee builds mind you. The Lance is only relevant for it's new bolt tips: DB burns for 60-90 HP, Water Frags, and Slug/Buckshot hybrid. I'm not a weeb and like the katana but I feel its a bit out of place here. Katana in Hunt makes me think of Red Steel 2 for the Wii 😅

Yeah. In theory is ok to have weapons which outclass others in every way but the katana should have stayed a 2-slot weapon. Espeically since its range with the perk is so good.

Exactly! I wish more people appreciated non meta weapons. It is okay to have less good if not bad weapons. Makes them more fun when you get kills with them. Unfortunately, with all the economy changes recently and free hunters coming with perks and decent weapons/full kits. The times you'll see machetes, nagant precisions, and springfields has dwindled with it being pretty much free to spawn with much better weapons@@inspaceoo9165

@@inspaceoo9165 Katana being the only 2 slot melee weapon would be fine tbh imo

I guess the other option would be to add more unique traits to melee weapons with Martialist? Katana got the draw cut which is part of what makes it so good, but surely Martialist could give some other melee weapons more love, like the sabre, machete, railroad hammer? I really like the bat but that’s just personal preference, the comedic value is off the charts with it. I could see adding some kind of sound maker you could hit really far with martialist for it, but I have no idea what could be added for the other weapons. Wall piercing with the sabre? Throwing action with the machete? Some kind of weird concussive aoe with the hammer or something? Idk.

Honestly there is no reason to use any melee that isn't the katana or bat. They should add some way to block melee attacks with other melees. The amount of time Ive traded with people where both of us use katana martialist is more than i can count. Imagine you could parry attacks, considering melees are super strong rn, they could use a defense rework that could help tone down the melee trades.

I killed a 5 star with a winny vandal deadeye.. twice.

I've been no joke running Nagant precision (I understand it's sort of a different beast, but come on it's still not great) like 75% of the time lately. Pretty funny getting surrounded by a team of Mosin/dolch guys when we're waiting for our bounty, only to click some heads with the little Nagant with a butt stock

​@@s92dxUnderrated gun honestly, pretty fast fire rate for the price, pair it with a romero and its one of my budget loadouts

​@@s92dxNagant is a dark horse, when you are new to Hunt it feels like a shit gun. Later on you realize it has dark horse value-like the spam of the Officer sometimes gets in the way. If that makes sense. Also, fanning Nagant is slick asf.

We have the copperhead curse.

Twin choke/chaos bolt hand crossbows

Lmao

@@ascrub3162down here in 3 star, chaos bolts actually aren't bad lol😅. I've been able to make pushes that I believe I otherwise couldn't have because of them

Winnie Silenced is pretty great at taking potshots from cheeky spots alongside the underrated teamwork benefit of mowing down PvE. Machete is a melee weapon outclassed by the Heavy Knife.

I’ve made it to six stars back in the day with that. It ain’t bad, just gotta play weird

@@NoahWanger In no way is it outclassed by the heavy knife. Machete: a) Has a 90 damage light attack instead of 72 damage. This means the machete light attack will immediately kill with 1 headshot, versus requiring bleed to proc before someone dies to light attack headshot, and will likewise kill immediately with 2 light attacks to the body (which heavy knife will not). If you end up fighting a 100 health hunter in melee, the machete light attack will also bleed them out far quicker than the heavy knife. It will also immediately kill a 75 hp hunter, which heavy knife will not. b) Has a 150 damage heavy attack instead of 120 damage heavy attack. The machete, since it has a wide swing, will reliably one-shot a hunter with a heavy attack so long as you don't get a blow at the fringe of its range (earning only an armshot) or hit them in the legs (since melee weapons cleave in hunt and will not stop at the first hitbox; if you're pointing in the general direction of their torso and are in range of their torso, it will hit their torso). Machete heavy attack also causes intense bleed instead of moderate bleed for if you do somehow miss them. Notably, the machete swing will immediately kill to a torso hit both 125 and 150 health hunters, while the heavy knife heavy attack will immediately kill neither. c) Has better stamina management with exception to especially large swarms of grunts. Machete is 10/20, heavy knife is 9/25; so heavy knife can do 11 vs 10 light attacks, but is 4 vs 5 on heavy attacks. d) Has a substantially longer reach than the heavy knife e) Heavy Knife is a toolkit weapon, and thus falls under the effect added with this last patch where toolkit weapons have dramatically reduced damage to bosses. Machete is not affected. For illustration, with quick testing in the tutorial, machete cycles the spider in 4 hits, heavy knife took 8-10. So, with exception to the 11 vs 10 light attack niche, the heavy knife is just worse in every way at both pvp and pve. It's a tookkit weapon, but that more or less just means that it's better for grunts since you're not giving up a secondary firearm.

​@@NoahWangerthe silenced Winfield has no reason to have such a shit iron sight especially since the silenced vetterli has a good one

Yeah the single shot rifle always centers me and brings me back from making really bad plays. Same thing with slow pistols without fanning. Just take good shots, keep in cover, don't die.

Silenced Nagant with poison and fanning is my new boss clear/ spray and pray secondary. Ray funny dropping people in a fight with it

Its just experience i still sometimes legit dont see someone like u described , keep in mind you're watching highlights

Definitely losing in up close fights versus the non precision. But it might be the most head clicking gun in the game.

no this is default audio

make ur computer put more resources towards the game

or maybe ur gpu is being bottlenecked

Yes and then you have a unfun unwatchable video you wouldn't even be here for

​@@hornetlulcome now, Hornet. They didn't want a reasonable explanation, they wanted to be annoyingly antagonistic. Don't ruin the vibe!

Put fanning and bleed its killer up close

why would you use it over an officer or army rationally-wise? if you have fanning just use anything else for better efficiency

My longest played loadout was Romero Talon + Slugs and Basic Nagant + HV. Carried me to 6 Stars

Regular nagant is just objectively a worse option to most other options. If you want fanning, just run a suppressed nagant at worse, or simply a pax. If you want fire-rate, just run a nagant officer.. its literally the same gun but with fire-rate.. or bornheim or whatever else. Nagant is cheap for a reason. Objectively it's worse than other options.. but it's cheap. Still gets the job done I suppose.

@mercury_lamp I started to use it with bat as primary. Legendary hunter and med kit that's it. Try to get a clue or two to pay it off and just wack around try to engage up close. Because I'm solo and solos suck. They Just sit in bushes and camp objectives and dead bodies to farm kills. So I'm just being silly and not caring and it's cheap and fun and rewarding when it works
