Already done mate! As always, great video. Keep it up buddy.
If you're trying to quickly fill out the monster book boss section, this gun will easily net you the kills solo and make the others in the lobby go wtf when they hear literal thunder, then the boss banishment, but you're already in the next lobby load screen.
A quick thing to note about the explosive ammo Home Reel, the damage stat is only accounting for the impact damage, and not the splash damage. I know the store states are atrociously misleading, but I do recall 4FS gaming and Dennis explaining in a dev stream that it does not have reduced damage. Anyway, good and humorous upload as always.
I am the worst at research, thanks for the correction, Luca!
HomeReel no problem, I don’t blame you though, the store stats really need to be more transparent and detailed.
I believe explosive ammo has no drop off damage as well? I seem to remember that being a selling point of explosive when custom ammo came out.
Luke Layton The splash damage is always the same, the impact damage however does drop off.
@@pingufan1239 Makes sense! Thanks!
Another thing to note about Nitro Dum Dum:
The 74m OHK is how far it can one tap. However, if you hit with at 75m, it only takes one tick of bleed to kill you, and the ammo causes heavy bleed. I think someone said that you can technically kill at about 80-ish metres because the ticks happen too fast for you to stop it. That is, of course, if they do not have bloodless.
Good point. Getting shot by a dum dum nitro usually has anyone shaking for a good couple seconds before they can process they have a hole in their chest.
Yeah and dum dum still wall bangs so its pretty overpowered
@@evannall9786 WHAT! I didn't know that! Penetrating bleed?! That's scary af
@@LongClawzHidden Thus, the re-branding to "Nitro SHREDDER" ammo not-so-long ago D:
While mastering this thing in the book of weapons I mastered the refined art of getting arm tags that don't kill.
Yeah I have no clue why they have not just done the rainbow six siege method and made it to where arm shots if they're in front of the body or the head hit that body or the head and do full damage and arm shots on their own do arm damage because a literal bullet is going to go clean through a limb you can see this in a number of execution cases where somebody raised their hand to defend themselves and the bullet goes clean through their arm and hits them in the head
@@guntotingnerd8830 that is indeed how it works, there's limb pen for everything besides crossbow bolts and a couple others
@@lostleviathan2352 I call bullshit on that being already implemented.
@@guntotingnerd8830 idk what to tell you, I have seen (and you can easily find) extensive proof with actual testing that there is limb pen, and I have seen no evidence to the contrary.
You're probably just experiencing the effects of muzzle velocity on a strafing enemy
Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.
I just like that it puts the fear of God in my enemies when I miss by 3 miles

"Just kidding."

Oh man, I really like your humor in videos. It´s so specific. Loud noises and holes in the walls had me rolling, lol. I subbed mainly for the hunt info, but the jokes keep me going back for more. Thanks HomeReel!
Thanks David, I appreciate you taking the time!
Great video.
There is one thing you forgot to mention. Dumdum ammo for the Nitro has still more penetraion power than any longbullet rifle. Not sure about fmj rounds, but you get the point.
yeah I meant to talk about it but left it off in the final script. I even had test footage of it, but didn't have the audio VO to explain why the clip was included. But great point, thanks!
"The Nitro Express has two special ammo types, Dum Dum -"
"Hey!"
"- and Explosive."
"Oh."
Hunt: Showdown is by far my favorite FPS, I have never and don't think I will ever find a game quite like this one. I've always yearned for some good and informative content and I think I just found what I've been searching for. Great content, it's like a nice mix of laid back information and comedy. Keep it up! Subbed for sure.
I appreciate that, thank you!
These are legitimately the best weapon guides out there for Hunt (or any other shooter I've covered for that matter). Fun-forward reasoning that's not obsessed with the meta, important advice on ammo/stats the game doesn't communicate, and not a second wasted. Just superb.
Thanks Morgan! Maybe it will branch to other games in the future. Lots of weapons left though
Home Reel used “dry humor” it’s super effective on his 6% subscribers!
I'd genuinely prefer it if the nitro just didn't have sights. Like just a flat piece of metal with no indicator.. it'd be 100x better. I get that the awful sights are for balance though.
I think it originally didn’t have ap sights but they nerfed it.
Well, you wouldn't be able to line it without the rear peep sight, so you could say goodbye to any accuracy.
@@qwormuli77 yes. id prefer if it didnt have any sights and i instead just had to eyeball the middle of the screen.
@@pingufan1239 it did. It just wasnt as good awful as it is now
@@sandnoodles But that's what I'm saying: you couldn't eyeball the middle of the screen. Aiming needs two posts.
I have plenty of hours in Hunt, but I never knew the Nitro rounds can penetrate brick walls.
Hoping for the terminus next! As always, excellent content.
I second this person’s request, haven’t figured out a great purpose for the terminus versus other shotguns yet.
@@scrapinator8910 I think it's the strongest against bosses
@@scrapinator8910 has the highest ammo cap, fastest fire rate with levering, super fun with dragon breath
2:00 Ok, we can't ignore this smiley friendly skull over here
How did you even catch that
This video basically summed up everything me and my group thinks about the gun and was enjoyable to watch, though I can't help but say it might've been... a little more important to mention the guns damage multipliers to actually help explain why the gun is so woefully inconsistent.
A lot of people I've talked about Hunt with, specifically the Nitro have had complaints about how a gun that does 364 damage at 10 meters struggles to one tap beyond much further than a stones throw when the reality is the Nitro will NEVER do that much damage to a hunter since the Nitro bullet type does half damage to hunters, a 0.52 multiplier to the chest and torso, specifically.
It's legitimately one of the most misleading aspects of the gun and I feel that really hurts it's already poor reputation.
The sight just kills it for me. If it had just an iron sight, I might put up with the inconsistency.
The sight is the main balance for the gun
The only ease on my eyes I’ve found is to get the gold nitro skin. The sight is less dominating on the screen and much easier imo to aim with.
@@evannall9786 except the low bullet count, high cost and huge recoil should be making up for that?
@@nicbuzas7783imagine having double barrel sparks that one taps to the body with the recoil and ammo count of the nitro it would be pretty unbalanced, so my advice is to practice and get used to the sight's. Rather then removing them
I'm just gonna say that adding a double rifle chambered in medium or long ammo would be awesome as a Nitro alternative. Even if it was medium ammo, having the ability to fire one barrel after the other in rapid succession would be so good, but it might also be OP.
If you want to take it one step further, you could add a "Drilling" variant with either 2 shotgun barrels and 1 rifle barrel, or 2 rifle barrels with 1 shotgun barrel.
I really like your point, but the drilling would be waayyyy too strong.
What's the point of giving it different ammo to allow two fire succession? People use Nitro for the one hit kill potential despite the horrible negatives and allowing a second shot immediately is overpowered if it's still one shot so you would have it nearly kill a hunter but leave it with a sliver of health. Just use any medium or long ammo weapon like a normal person lol
Just use rival slugs
Well look at what we got, a Drilling rifle!
@@piragintheevercorpulent1526 They all laughed at me, but I got my wish in the end!
I got a headshot with the Nitro at far less than 243 meters and the guy was still alive. It made the headshot splat sound and everything when I shot him. He murdered me soon after with headshot from his Vetterli Deadeye from the same distance. What a world. I never used it again after that.
"There is loud noises and holes in the walls... Just like a day at work with mom" that shit killed me XD
i raised an eyebrow :D
To this day I am still not certain that Nitro DumDum is actually less penetration than Nitro, and if it is, it is still probably close to long ammo penetration - which to me is so good that it can hardly be considered a downside since you can't realistically expect to play many matches around penetrating anything thicker than what long ammo could.
I've been one tapped to the body by Nitro Dumdum through wall and floor at Alain fish. Penetration is not an issue.
Its the same pen, you can just no longer pen multiple surfaces
Yeah, I recall Dum Dum can pierce stone walls but only up to a certain distance unlike the normal where it can pierce in longer ranges
I agree that running away from an ambush (or into) is the best way to survive one, but at least try to shoot back lol. Btw I love all the kung pow references my favorite movie
And yes I subscribed
Nice vid man keep it up. Would like to see a vid about the avtomat
Pretty sure explosive nitro extends 1 tap range by a lot. The 195 listed damage is the bullet damage but it doesn’t include the explosive damage. Don’t quote my on this.
Assuming that's true, and I have no reason to doubt, I would figure it would extend the range a lot since the explosive damage probably doesn't ramp down, like the shotbolt.
@@PenitusVox Exactly, this is correct.
Kung pow: Enter the fist?? A man of culture I see
Also dropped a more extensive set of reference to it in my officer carbine deadeye video
I’m subbed, you’re one of the only Chanel’s I look forward to their next post
If it's a 4 shot boss kill it could be good for a quick sweep approach, with a secondary that can do most of the heavy work until you reach the boss, kill it so fast that you are a long way though banishing by the time people arrive, then book it out of there.
Note: I've never played the game, just waiting to finish a few others and get it on sale
Great video, boss. I haven't played hunt in weeks but I still watch your uploads lol
i have just stumbled across those videos and i love them , great humor :D
I like how the lil skulls line up at 1:58 and look like a single grinning skull
I used to be a big fan of the nitro- every hit I tapped was a kill. Where others said it was inconsistent, I said I never saw that.
Yesterday I shot a hunter in the chest from less than 10 feet away- he was peeking from the top of a staircase (so no lower torso/legs exposed) and I tapped him in the center of the chest.
He shot back, and I tapped him again in the arm. He ran away and my buddy had to chase him with an Avtomat to get the final kill.
Dude i fucking love this video. I appreciate the way you structured it, and that you joked about subscribers, and that you punked us with the sponsorship bit.
Thanks John!
Downright my favorite gun. I actually really like the explosive rounds because they 1 shot meatheads and it’s satisfying to watch them explode
Mine too. Nitro is my gun, with dum dum it's a killing machine. Surprisingly I actually prefer the nitro sights but I am crap with most weapons so maybe that's more on me.
I have played a single game of Hunt and haven’t touched it since, but I found this video for which I have minimal context very entertaining.
At short range the peephole sight is so horrid that people can easily wiggle around and step out of it, so you use your sidearm. At long range the nitro is so unreliable you switch to your sidearm. Long story short I always end up barely using it if I run it. Best use I got out of it is just crouch hipfiring it
Quickscope. Just put your enemy in the middle of the crosshair, aim and immediately fire, without waiting for the sights to come up.
That's the best way to use the nitro, and if your enemy is good at it, it's really unfun to play against.
Of all the hunt channels I still find yours the best, I have faith in 100k+ but here's to 10k my guy!
I appreciate that!
Nitro is fun to use when you get the kills but realistically, the sparks is much better especially compared to the cost
So was the $1 blowup doll “of” Homereel or “for” Homereel?
of me, be gentle
I think besides boss battles the gun is out classed in most scenarios by a simple and much cheaper Spencer. Even if you wanna take out bosses quickly you could bring a few sticky bombs or bomb lance. Nitro much like the Avtomat can get you kills but there's better options. Still fun though, great video as always!
Spencer?
can’t tell if you’re talking about sparks or specter lol
@@obliviator2 There is no spencer equivalente in the hunt universe, he probably means sparks
@@Peagaporto I mean other than the fact that the specter is the Spencer 1882 Pump action shotgun? I think the commenter did mean Sparks given the way the Nitro was discussed in this video, but the Spencer -> Specter is one of the closest to realism adaptations in this game.
@@Spaceman5pff I mean there is no spencer rifle equivalent
That intro was gold. You’re gonna be big. I can smell it on you.
@homereel you should have put footage of what the real nitro does to one of those ballistic dummies, it’s crazy
I love running this gun, when it works it feels completely unparalleled. When it doesn't work, well, dats hunt baybe.
I love your sense of humor, and all the kung pow references!
There was nothing more fun for a meme run than trios holding out Scupper's Lake with three Nitros. That was good.
Love your videos,plus the biggest dfw fan and yeah-i've read infinite jest,2 times!out of pure joy🙌😅
really lovin the kung pow references lately
Really like your videos. Thank you.
@homereel can you make on video about the Centennial? Im kinda struggling with this gun right now and think it can need some love
Cost can be managed if you follow a spending curve, new hunters get sub 200 loadouts, if they bring money they get a sub 500 one, another extraction is usually enough to pay for a nitro and more. Thats how I got all my hunters sporting nitros, and how I did the mastery in a week, its an amazing gun of you are good with a sparks.
Great vid, makes me genuinely sad though.... the pre 1.0 Nitro was an absolute beast you could 1 tap a guy through a tree at 100m lmao. Sure I guess the nerf was inevitable given freely flowing salty tears, but I'd even take the new "nerfed" nitro if they would just allow you to flip down the aperture sight. Giving it this sight, for me, has made it almost a non-event now its so painful.
Yeah, the old Nitro was OP, but that Sight just ruined it. Either remove that damn thing/give us the opportunity to flip it down or decrease the price to 700-800 Dollars. Theres a good reason nobody plays the Nitro and thats just sad.
"One has a Nitro!" haunting words you never want to hear in an ambush.
Where do you get all theese Diagramms from ?
I am surprised there wasn't an edit that had someone trying to move the sight on the big game gun but failing
I would use it more often if there would be option to hide this viewfinder to iron sight
Glad to see another swamp philanthropist, I challenged myself after the Halloween event to get 100K hunt dollars and did it before xmas, currently sat around 140K dreading my upcoming book of weapons grind for nitro, bornheim and terminus, all weapons I suck with.
Be cool if the Nitro could toggle its Sight like the Apature guns can..
I did subscribe. You deserve it!
Next DLC - Chosen One & the gopher nitro skin
I reall can agree with the title, I had many situations where I shot someone in the chest from about 20 meters and he didn't die. I also had another guy who shot me with the bleeding bullets from the Nitro and he didn't even destroyed my first health bar, even though he was about 5 meters away.
According to how big the bullets are and how much it costs, I would really wish, that it would insta kill everyone up to around 60 or 70 meters or something.
Honestly when I'm about to go prestige, I just use the Avtomat, because with this gun, I at least win almost every gunfight.
If you making videos about meme weapons, I would love to see a video on the combat axe, its my favorite weapon in the game.
Could you do the uppercut next? I'm new to the game and see people using it, but some say it really isn't that great for its price. Which pistol would you say is the best for long range?
Caldwell conversion with FMJ is also really good at range and personally i think its better:
Its cheaper than the uppercut by a lot, has a faster fire rate, its more accurate, has a faster reload speed and has more effective range
The uppercut is good but trades accuracy, fire rate, cost and reload speed for better damage, penetration and velocity and slightly better effective range than the normal conversion but FMJ conversion is still cheap gold
Hoped this helped
@@monroe8597 Yes, thank you!
@@Jeremaiiia I usually have a long range weapon and a office brawler (to free up a tool slot) or Chain pistol (but only when you unlock fanning) with bleeding for close quarters and wallbangs.
Good Chanel mate, I like the banter too 👍 keep it up,laters
I don’t play Hunt Showdown nor I want to play but you have a new subscriber
HONEY!! NEW HOME REEL DROPPED!!
Allright, fine!
The mom-gloryhole joke got you another sub, you happy now!
(Just found your channel, im loving it.)
I know for game play purposes you should be able to revive teammates. But the thought of getting shot in the head and just it literally being gone being solved by like *Rub rub rub* you’re good to go cracks me up.
Nitro + Dolch pair + Ammo box(es). Great meme, feels good if you win, doesn't feel good if you lose
After trying out the Caldwell Rival with slugs, I don't even think about taking the Nitro
This video has more jokes than all Kevin Hart movies combined
yo man i think you've really been developing your style/presentation and video a lot since i started watching a little while back and was wondering if you could maybe share you pc specs? I have been working on my own stuff recently but have been having quality issues i know i'm needing an upgrade soon just wondering if i'm messing up on a setting of some sort
hey man, if you don't mind, hop in the discord and you can ask me all the questions you have about youtube, editing, whatever. No pressure to stay once you have the info. Link in the description
I dont care for the game but your jokes are absolutely incredible, I am watching every single one of your video now
I hit a guy like 3 times at 150+ he walked away to tell the tale, I was baffled on how crappy this rifle is even with its 250 m range, sparks would have killed that dude dead in his tracks. Dum dum is the only way to go with the nitro.
5:29 Wait what? Where is this option at? I was completely unaware there was a sound/range tester in game.
Go to the arsenal tab where you can see all the weapons (not the roster but specifically Arsenal) then select a weapon. At the bottom, click 3D view and scroll on your mouse
It's okay HomeReel, lumpy has killed me too :(
I love your humor!
music plz ?
Thanks for the video.
The nitro is my guilty pleasure. I LOVE that gun. I even like the sights lol
I wonder if the economy in this game got changed because as someone who started playing at the end of last year Hunt dollars have never been an issue.
I can think of exactly 1 occasion I wanted to give a guy a Nitro & couldn't afford it.
Then again I do just take free hunters with their starting gear for fun a lot so maybe I don't spend like someone who uses preset loadouts.
I had 5 in my inventory and never used them when I prestiged the first time
Why not flip the aperture down with X?
should I feel bad for using it with the intention of chasing down the nearest target, removing it's soul from it's body and then tryna get out as quick as possible?
More kung pow clips? Yes please.
If this rifle had a choice to flip down those sights I might use it more 😂
"the elites"
Proceeds to play with special ammo
I'd like a follow up video that just talks about Quebecois separatist movements and tennis.
its the one gun I can consistently get into 6 stars with but I run a lot of slug shotties and this is basically the ultimate slug shotgun that applies bleed lol
Lol
So I have this friend I would play Hunt with (we still do semi regularly when we’re not going heavy into other games), but for a while they decided that it would be a good idea to just bring the Nitro, every… single… match.
Now to be clear, they maybe got one or two kills, over the course of 20 matches… maybe. They were not good with it, it was a meme that went too far, and now they are a very broke player in that game. I have a pretty decent cash stockpile and reasonable enough skill that I am fairly comfortable with whatever load out I want to bring. Might not win every match, but I know when I don’t feel confident to pull out and save the hunter, get a small payout and experience. They, we’re always playing risk big win big, and kept losing.
We have shifted to a lot of meme builds now (we find it keeps our interest/entertainment up, and it’s affordable 😂). Our weirdly most successful one to date was we were each allowed to bring one tool or consumable, nothing else. We managed to find a few melee weapons and rifles in game and actually killed a bounty and extracted. But every once in a while, somebody brings up the Nitro and I can just feel the hunt dollars disappearing from their account.
Interesting vid on the Nitro, didn’t realize it’s damage drop off was so intense. Explains a lot in some prior engagements of mine. Clean body shots that I coulda swore should have been kills were likely just outside one shot kill range. Unfortunate for me and still kinda sucky for the price payed for this dang rifle (I have little intention of using it again unless I’m boss rushing), but quite informative.
Thank you YT recommended, for recommending me a game that I don't own
U should do a chain pistol video it's my favorite gun in the game I run it dual wield with dumdum rounds it has so many upsides it's unreal
steady aim affects aperture sights. makes a huge difference.
steady aim does not apply to the nitro
They either need to remove the aperture, or increase the kill range.
consistent one hit kill unless you hit the arm
oh, people actually use the iron sights? I just use the Nitro from the goddamn hip like a giant shotgun, but then again I'm absolutely the "blow all your money on nitros before you prestige" guy.
At that point I feel like you might as well use a Caldwell rival with slugs
That title is exactly how I have been describing the Nitro to my friends for forever.
Yes I also use it every time i hit 88 cause Im close to prestiging.
Its gotten to the point that among my group of friends its known as 'my gun'.
And I love it. I love this big and bad gun.
Yes Im subscribed, you can stop looking at me like that now.....
Im serious, put the Derringer down.
For me this weapon is the "Oh shit I have 20K dollars and 10 lvls away from prestiging, let's go expensive" gun
Yeah but like those Nitro Collats though
