With the 10th one, the worst is when you have one teammate being brave and aggressive but the other two being passive and not making a move so that one guy dies and it becomes a 2v3 when it didn't have to be.
I'll admit i rat it up a fair amount but i can usually make a takedown or two when it matters. I just don't do well soloing teams. It's something i'm workin on though.
Number one reason I can’t play with randoms lol, the amount of times I’ve pushed on a good chance expecting some support only to walk in to a 1v3 and then spectate my teammates to see them 80 metres away crouching in a bush have ruined that for me
@@kurtyb7565 I guess I get really lucky with random partners. They've been nothing but helpful and decent seeming people that are there to play the game. I always do my best to not make them feel like they're carrying me.

#10 is the most annoying, especially when playing with randoms. when youre confident and pushing and picking off enemies but go down, ur team is still crouchwalking 50 meters away and not doing anything
This happens once every 3 or so games for me when I'm playing with randoms. I get a pick, then I push in and get another kill, but get downed by the last guy in the process. Then I realise my teammates are still sitting just outside of the compound and basically letting the enemies rez each other, making it a 2v3 in the enemies' favor and losing us the fight 9 out of 10 times.
@@goranbratos2097 yeah the thing that makes us lose the fight a lot of the time is my teamates not pushing and the enemy team gets rezzed. Literally one person left and they're sitting in the next compound over.
this happened to me yesterday, we had a 3v3 fight in a small area and downed 2 enemies leaving only one left, i ping and fight them and i lose. What are my team mates doing? both of them sitting in bushes being stealthy? why? they gave the other guy a chance to revive and we lost because of it.
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 After about 800 hours, I got pretty good..? (High 5 star, hit 6 star a few times). The game got too easy for me in a way and I've been playing pretty much solely Escape from Tarkov since January of this year.

Dunno. I just started playing and it feels like alot of players are really bad at the aiming part of the game. Sure it could be the matchmaking, but still. Most new players coming from games like Tarkov (Sam and Aqua did quite the advertisment) will have a pretty smooth entry to the game. They are used to much better FPS players and just have to get used to the unique mechanics of the game. That being said, i enjoy the game alot. And its very relaxing experience, after tarkov induced 3 strokes so far.
@@Deppie_____ doesn't that make you a sweaty boi? Also i fucking suck. The only thing I complain about is the matchmaking putting me (trash) in a lobby with people acting like it's an E-sports tournament

All of these are very true. However, if your teammate doesn't care about their KDA, you can actually use bad revives as info/distraction. I've done this a couple times and it's given my partner or me crucial info and/or a couple extra seconds which can win fights. Don't do this all the time though and +90% of the time you're better off just not reviving an exposed partner. Also, trick for gunslinger users. You can actually see if your gun is sticking through a wall. If you watch the light on your barrel you can see if it passes through a wall. Can be very handy.
For number 10, this is the optimal play. Especially when your opponent thinks you've been thrown into a corner. They think you'll back into it and be too scared to push back. Push. Back. Don't let them seize the initiative. Counter engage. If they rush you, be sure to be the one who turns the corner first. They won't be ready for you to make the first move, they'll think you've turned tail. I cannot tell you how many kills, even full teams I have turned a corner on with my knife to kill two or all three of them because they got bold and thought to rush carelessly confident. To win fights, you must be the one who seizes on any advantage. If you do that, you'll win.
Yup. I tend to main the bomb lance and this works out very well. People are usually hesitant to chase in the first place because you're using a medieval weapon that can OHKO and has the appropriate hitbox. So if you counter rush them you usually find them turning to find a better position on you or reviving a teammate because they expect you to skedaddle. haha swing swong your tactic was wrong
This happened to me recently. I was down to one bar fighting a duo and took cover behind a mound, the shotgun player hard pushed but didn't expect me to turn around and kill him. Will try it more often
Things that kill me the most.. people knowing exactly where I'm hiding in ambush without ever making a noise as they approach and getting instantly headshot through a building.
Sometimes it only takes one step while crouched, players will here it and go straight for the wallbang. As for bushes, after enough hours you start to remember the colour palette of every part of the map, so even the slightest difference catches the attention.
The last one definitely needs to be heard. I have seen to many random partners skulking in some corner of a building while a firefight is happening in the other end of it, apparently waiting for someone to just run blindly into their "trap" or something. Fight! The best opportunity you'll have to kill in Hunt isn't when you catch someone unawares around a corner with a shotgun, it's when your partner is currently fighting them!
This was really thoughtfully put together and is amazing for players who have gotten through their first 5-10 hours (conquering AI, basic map awareness, etc). Thanks for putting this together.
I can't tell you how many times I have had to tell my teammates (randos) to get up and keep moving in the fight or tell them to push. I'm not sure why. Once the guns start going off stealth is usually out the window unless you haven't been seen. Great list.
Yeah, I also see this a lot when sneaking up to compounds while the team inside is fighting a target. It almost never works since they can just see if you're in the compound lol
A small adjustment to #4 I'd like to make is to know when to rush someone throwing a grenade and when to back up. I often find myself around the maximum throw range of the nade and there running away is often the better alternative. The key really is either moving back or forth and knowing what to do in each situation. Going for new cover inside the throw range is what will get you killed.
10 things that get you killed 10) "I'm under the fence, super safe, easy res me" 9) "That pig boi got me pretty bad, gotta go out of the lair and heal, easy-peasy" 8) "I missed two shots from pax to the head as solo, three is the lucky number" 7)"Throwing flash, lads (whitescreen)" 6) " That doggos will never see me creeping on compound" 5) "That frag fell pretty far from me" 4) "Gotta cook this dynamite a little bit more for extra crisp" 3) "That tower looks like a perfect sniper spot" 2) "Its red. Let's kill the boss faster" 1) "Bullets are for pussies. Fix Bayonets!"
I’ve never been killed for that reason I’ve gotten plenty of amazing hip fire kills because my gun is always ready you should only use hunter if your a bomb lance main why would you want extra steps to hip fire and then another to aim down sites.
An addendum to #9: If you play with Gunslinger controls, you can hold Q to set your weapon down like a Hunter player would. This lets you reduce your visual profile when you need to, without having to do it all the time.
Hahaha. Yes!!! I become butterfingers with my controller. Instead of shooting the dude ill panic and hit the map or dark sight instead. My nick name shoukd be fumbles
The trick to this is to take on every fight you can, and eventually you will get used to the panic (in most cases). But I still have moments of sheer panic even after doing this, thats just Hunt for you
@@killthemanwhoquestions2827 It's like talking to girls as a young chap... at first it's hard and you have no clue about what to do. But the more you put yourself in that position, the easier it gets. it has a name, but can't find it atm... xD
The trick is to tell yourself: "I'm gonna fk these guys up and come out alive! Come TRY ME!" No kidding tho, If you tell yourself that it boosts your confidence and have you really wanting to kill them (that is if you're a good shot) rather than panicking.
#1- teammates who wade through sound traps like Karens on their way to the manager, stand still in windows during sniping duels like Drax, and throw consumables that have an insatiable lust for landing at my feet.
Tell em to complete all the trials. It helped my gameplay significantly just from understanding the map better, the weapons better and the movement and timing of the hunters limitations.
Big tip to new players: turn music off, use the Romero 77 in close quarters ALWAYS. Use a revolver at mid range, and don’t engage at long range. Romero 1 taps enemies at point blank range, and when using a single action revolver, you can fan the hammer if you have the character modifier.
There’s one thing I can add here. Camping clues. The clue glows red and makes a VERY obvious sound when players are nearby. Just yesterday a friend and I wiped a team easily because they were sitting in these 2 outhouses right next to a clue. On top of that, one of them was using gunslinger so I saw their gun sticking out the outhouse which allowed me to line up my Sparks before the fight even started. Sometimes you may think you have the jump on a team when you really don’t.
Playing with randoms. Can't count the amount of times I've played with players that run around, make a lot of noise, draw players towards us, then hide during the gunfight, or rather "flank" by running in a straight line away from the fight (no joke I've been told that by a guy that left us fighting 2v3)
1 of them should be “Make sure it’s clear or safe before you loot” I have this one friend that’s is an utter loot goblin and loots during a shootout and it gets him and us killed some times 😂.
Remembering "Wall Bangs" are a thing. This goes both way. I was in a shootout armed with Zorngeist, target had went behind a tree. In a split second I remembered the Long Guns can over-pen the trees (from all the times it had happened to me), I aimed were I figured his head was and fired. Boom, Headshot. He hadn't even crouched to throw off my aim.
I once was running on a ceeling of a house and knew under me is a player. I shot all of my rounds down there, on the metal roof. I used a small ammo gun. I don't think I have to say why none of the shots I took hit.
My friend is a charger I'm more defensive we make it work......until he ticks the game off. I just cover fire look like easy prey while my mate finds a way to kill them we both know I'm no good shot but I tend to survive even hell. It's always random
I don't know what it is, but I usually do pretty well in my fights and I make a fair amount of these mistakes. Out of everything, I think my biggest strength is my prying nature. I'll scope out routes, door mechanics, bear traps, AI placement and try to work out the best way to weaponize these things. I remember that I killed a 3 man team who had just entered the boss area while playing solo by turning on a nearby generator to bring AI closer to their position and cover my sounds, open all doors and check for cracks in the walls that I can crawl into and out of and nabbing traps while I am out of danger to set in popular boss kiting paths so that the enemy hunters step on them while running from the boss. I was able to turn it from a 3v1 into a mosh pit of dogs, fire zombies, the boss and almost nowhere to move for the enemy team until eventually they just died and were kind enough to kill most of the enemies for me. Oh, and also, bring the axe. I've gotten a stupid amount of use out of it to the point where I can go full games without ever pulling out my gun.
Number 1. My potato computer acting up and giving me 20 FPS Number 2. My crappy sensitivity I never seem to get right, either under shooting or overshooting Number 3. Epic internet
The bullet "physics" are wonky af in this game, and some iron sights seem off. It needs a lot of attention imo as do these new "special" rounds that aren't really special or that useful so far as i've seen. Or they'll give a good buff then neuter something else. Guess the devs don't realize being afraid to make upgrades and limiting like that them is how you end up with a broken shitty unbalanced game.
I have seen a lot of hate for the Gunslinger control set, but if you hold down the quick swap (default q I believe) you lower your weapon. So the problems such as weapon jutting out or small fov etc, you can completely mitigate by holding q for 1 second.
Clearing sound traps/AI, or generally interacting with anything within a compound is literally the least "stealthy" way of playing. As you eliminates sound traps/interact with stuff, you'll always leave traces that others could tell that someone had been through here.
I have trouble with positioning. I always feel like I'm in the wrong place that doesn't help my team mates, especially when attacking a compound. Either I'm too far away so I can't support my friends when they get into an ingagement, or I'm too close and we get ambushed. I just don't know where to go at any given time that would create an advantage for my team.
Most common mistake imo, staying stationary for too long. Like it's been said in the video, shoot and relocate. if they push your "shot location", you already relocated and possibly are ready to throw in some nades or molotovs at your last location. Put yourself more in fights situations, so you get the feeling of battle rotations. it helped me a lot by playing solo in the beginning. Sure, I died a shitload of times, but that way you also learn not to depend on your team mates too much. Don't matter if you are a full squad if you can save your own ass in any situation... xD
Small trick regarding fanning that everyone shouldn’t forget. You can still aim. You don’t have to rely on RNG for your second shot. It is way more reliable to aim once you know your next shot will kill. And please stop shooting scopes weapons when you aren’t 100% confident you will kill your opponent. Unless you have a really good angle that flanks an enemy hunter team perfectly where you can get several shots out. You won’t get another opportunity.
#11: Play your Weapon: The most frustrating Deaths were when an experienced Player bumrushed me with Shotguns or always kept the distance with long range Weapons. #12: Play different Weapons: Most newbies learn one or two weapons at the beginning and stick with them because they know how to play it. Take a different one. Play it a little. Yes you will die more often but then learn and see #11 #13: Dont force a fight: If you think you are not ready, let them pass and go your way. #14: Learn the Map: know where the peeking spots are and try to avoid beeing in the peeking area, even if that means taking a longer route. #15: Learn the Spawnpoints: know where to look at the start of the map to avoid getting shot in the back the first minute.
Single Boss only: Dont be Team number #2. when you find your team on a single boss maps and the boss is banished coming right after as "Team 2" at the boss layer is qite dangerouse. The probabillity to get sandwiched between the boss team and team 3- team 4 is high. So you have 2 options play fast so your only enemy is the boss team, or rotate that you ensure team 3- team 4 are the first to engage the compound.
I would say the two biggest things that get me killed in hunt is, number one: my aim number two partners not going loud when I go loud. The partners that just panic camp whenever gunshots go off. The teammates that are just way too passive.
Here’s another tip, weapons that compnsate for poor aiming, like shotguns or any weapon with fanning and levering have cons that outweigh the pros; like inconsistent damage or uncontrollable recoil
Top 10 things that kill me in Hunt 1. Getting headshot while running in the open 2. Getting shot in the head when crouching 3. Getting headshot when I clean the area 4. Getting headshot when I am camping in the bush 5. Getting headshot when I jump over the fence 6. Getting headshot when I attack people from the back, so they turn around and instantly kill me 7. Getting headshot through the wall when I sit in a safe place and don't move so enemies won't hear me 8. Getting headshot from a friend that decide to look at the exact same window frame. 9. Getting headshot with a sniper form about 100 meters away 10. Getting headshot with a pistol on small bullets from about 100 meters away when the person can see about 1 pixel of you Honourable mentions: Getting headshot when I spawn and make 5 steps. Getting headshot when I peak small hole for the first time. Getting headshot when I am already around the solid wall but the game just don't really care.
I don't disagree with any of this, but to offer a point in the other direction, I recommend everyone spend some time random duo queueing. It helped my game, a lot. You learn to play with many different styles of teammates. My core group all pretty much plays the same game, since we all came up together. Playing with the randos has forced me to adapt to their styles and opened up my perception of what players of different experience levels do in fights. Don't get me wrong, you will still have Captain Crouchwalk, sitting 93 meters away and watching as you fighting a duo at the boss lair. Those games are always going to happen. :)
Extract camping is bad, because you only block 1 out of 3 exits and you will most likely lose the bounty in 2 of 3 cases and in the last remaining case you will have a bad positioning with little space to move.
Put traps in all compounds leading to the extract, killed entire teams doing this. and It's way more fun whilst waiting on the extract. Hearing BOOM in the background with a nice hitmarker is amazing.
The best 2 tips I can suggest is learn to hipfire and remember to use your gear. The amount of times I've got killed in a fight when I had a really easy way out is ridiculous.
11# For shotgun users, be AGGRESSIVE! There is so many times when I choose to not take a shotgun and my teammates who has one stays inside a building in a corner waiting for the enemy while we try to kill the guy who has crown & king with rifles and pistols. I'm not calling myself a great player either but come on man!
I'd love to agree with you. I'm a very aggressive shotgun main, but shotguns kinda suck. If you get the sneak and someone isn't facing you, or their shoulder is facing you, they won't die in any reasonably range. Another thing is that shotguns are pretty unreliable. Console makes it even harder for shotguns, considering the fact you'll have to make flicks and jump around so you don't get one shot. I wish shotguns could consistently 1 shot, but because they can't, we've got to move around as much as possible, sometimes that makes us miss our shots. Of course, it wouldn't really matter because we'd still do 26 damage everytime.
It would be a nice addition, but I feel they want to encourage people to use hunter as much as possible, the game was designed around that control scheme after all.
The clipping on gunslinger gets me killed far less than trying not to potato hunters 2 button ADS. I just can't get used to it. I tried when I first started, but it was just 1 more thing to screw up in a high pressure fight.
Sounds like you just need teammates that aren't dead weight... If your back is hurting from all the lifting you're doing it's gonna have a negative effect on your gameplay eventually.
@@lonestarbob5519 To be fair though, I'm just as often the first one to die because I have the least amount of patience and I like to play high risk, high reward.
@@Ben-kz2km i feel that. And sometimes a crouching chad/hidden rat combo works great. I have footage on my channel of this. My rat instincts often override a good play though and it's a habit i'm breaking in this game. But if you had another chad type you could get some good steamrolls going. I've found the bumrush works great in this game rather you're stab happy like me or a shotty main or like to lever fools down with the winfield or such. the game has a great basis, offers much challenge and fun plus multiple playstyles. it just needs some polishing by the devs with a few qol updates for new players to make the game less gatekeep-y for them versus high level legacy players/founders and to improve a little on a few weapons and new ammos types with some tweaks and this game will be aces.
#5 is probly imo the most important on all of this when it comes to people who play with randoms. I personally don't mind working with randoms and new players as a prestige 16 but I usually will test their independence by suggesting to split up at the start of a match to get clues faster, this is usually my way of differentiating butt huggers and confident players.
Here's my 2 cents worth: 1. Keep moving, NEVER stay stationary. 2. Limit usage of highground/sniper positions. You can see everything, but everyone can see you. 3. If you're closely pursuing hunters and you have a shot, take the shot - just not out in the open if you can help it. (The amount of times I've inevitably died simply by not shooting and waiting for a 'better' opportunity...) 4. Standing res/loot/clue will often get you killed. Your head is much easier to hit. 5. Running in straight lines or other predictable movements. 6. Not assigning easy to use buttons for essential tools/consumables. When under pressure, fumbling around by mouse scrolling for your medkit or stims wastes crucial time that will often get you killed. 7. Not using separate jump and mount keys. It's all sweet to use the unified jump/mount key until you're in a serious fight and find yourself mounting a fence/box in front of the enemy when you meant to side-jump or repeatedly jumping like an idiot in front of a fence when you needed to mount.
#1 don't charge in #2 don't make noise #3 be with nature #4 don't attack the boss wait for the right moment #5 don't use the escape route close to u use the far end ...takes more time but it's the safest
Good Tipps but all of it easier said than done 😉 I tried the hunter controls but somehow I can’t get comfortable with. Especially the fact that tools and consumables are also used as a melee weapon without pushing the other button first. It got me killed several times and it takes much longer when i quickly want to heal behind a tree.
Issue with number #5 having you team spread out will often allow a more coordinated team to pick each team member off one at a time and prevent revives
@@4FSGaming except 99% of the times I die when spread out is because I get into a gunfight with a whole team and can't shoot all three at once and I go down before any teammate can get a shot running, together and loosely is what keeps a team alive and able to take on other teams most effectively in my experience
Number 11: knowing when to play at all If your already upset or in a bad mood, dont play the game. If you havent slept well or swamped with work, don't play the game. This goes for all games, but in order to have fun playing you gotta be in the mood to play
10. 10 and more 10. pisses me off how many times randoms either sit two compounds back with their Springfield Marksman or sit in a bush when it's 1v1 and allow the enemy player to revive the other team mates, in both cases what should have been a 3v3 turns into a 3v2 then 3v1, and we usually lose.
I have a friend who's really bad about number 10 and it ends up being a 1v2 and then he complains that his star rating went down when he dies. Or even worse he wants his star rating up but doesn't push with me and then I wipe 2 teams and I tell him like dude I'm not gonna have a shot lined up while you don't and say he's over here if you come here you can get him. I'm gonna take the shot and if I end up getting 2 5 stars and you get 1 1 star, thats on you
I attacked a #10 team today. Barbed upp every exit in Testimony Church, we just smashed down the Doors and sprayed avto throuh the barbwire 🙂 hade nowhere to go and cornerd in a wooden building.
I was playing at in night mode, i turn my monitor brightness way up to the point the game doesn’t even look good anymore, i still couldn’t see well, then my friend gets snipe from so far away, i pick him up and run away with him, this guy lands his shots on him so well, i turn around and i can’t see a dam thing, i pick him up and then i notice the snipers shoots again, almost hitting him, insanely good.

Dude it is timing. Looting in middle of fight can change the tide especially with pack mule
@Dibs
And maybe don't push the house from the door that has 3 dead hunters Infront of it.
"Deaths in hunt are seldom random" -> tell it to the fanatically fanning chain gun that headshotted me dozens of meters away. Pinnacle of randomnes.
aaaaaand, as if that was not enough, your teammate was the one holding the chain gun
4FS is a chad for making this cause he knows the most recent updates/event are bringing a bunch of noobs into the game. Thanks 4FS you're a saint.
Noobs or not they're still gonna be thrown in lobbies with 60+ prestige sweaty bois
Dunno. I just started playing and it feels like alot of players are really bad at the aiming part of the game. Sure it could be the matchmaking, but still. Most new players coming from games like Tarkov (Sam and Aqua did quite the advertisment) will have a pretty smooth entry to the game. They are used to much better FPS players and just have to get used to the unique mechanics of the game.
That being said, i enjoy the game alot. And its very relaxing experience, after tarkov induced 3 strokes so far.
@@russellcontreras394 I really like it when I shit on sweaties with dumb loadouts. See you on reddit, complaining
@@Deppie_____ doesn't that make you a sweaty boi? Also i fucking suck. The only thing I complain about is the matchmaking putting me (trash) in a lobby with people acting like it's an E-sports tournament
@@russellcontreras394 why would that make me a sweaty? I didnt mean that I was THAT good because I shit on sweaties. Its just fun to win against sweaties with trash loadouts
All of these are very true. However, if your teammate doesn't care about their KDA, you can actually use bad revives as info/distraction. I've done this a couple times and it's given my partner or me crucial info and/or a couple extra seconds which can win fights. Don't do this all the time though and +90% of the time you're better off just not reviving an exposed partner.
Also, trick for gunslinger users. You can actually see if your gun is sticking through a wall. If you watch the light on your barrel you can see if it passes through a wall. Can be very handy.
Good tip
Being too far from cover, peeking held angles, not being able to aim. These are just a few of the main reasons I die.
For number 10, this is the optimal play. Especially when your opponent thinks you've been thrown into a corner. They think you'll back into it and be too scared to push back. Push. Back. Don't let them seize the initiative. Counter engage. If they rush you, be sure to be the one who turns the corner first. They won't be ready for you to make the first move, they'll think you've turned tail. I cannot tell you how many kills, even full teams I have turned a corner on with my knife to kill two or all three of them because they got bold and thought to rush carelessly confident. To win fights, you must be the one who seizes on any advantage. If you do that, you'll win.
Yup. I tend to main the bomb lance and this works out very well. People are usually hesitant to chase in the first place because you're using a medieval weapon that can OHKO and has the appropriate hitbox. So if you counter rush them you usually find them turning to find a better position on you or reviving a teammate because they expect you to skedaddle.
haha swing swong your tactic was wrong
This happened to me recently. I was down to one bar fighting a duo and took cover behind a mound, the shotgun player hard pushed but didn't expect me to turn around and kill him. Will try it more often
Things that kill me the most.. people knowing exactly where I'm hiding in ambush without ever making a noise as they approach and getting instantly headshot through a building.
Sometimes it only takes one step while crouched, players will here it and go straight for the wallbang. As for bushes, after enough hours you start to remember the colour palette of every part of the map, so even the slightest difference catches the attention.
The last one definitely needs to be heard. I have seen to many random partners skulking in some corner of a building while a firefight is happening in the other end of it, apparently waiting for someone to just run blindly into their "trap" or something. Fight! The best opportunity you'll have to kill in Hunt isn't when you catch someone unawares around a corner with a shotgun, it's when your partner is currently fighting them!
so true, especially when playing with randoms who have no clue about what theyre doing
This was really thoughtfully put together and is amazing for players who have gotten through their first 5-10 hours (conquering AI, basic map awareness, etc). Thanks for putting this together.
Much appreciated!
I can't tell you how many times I have had to tell my teammates (randos) to get up and keep moving in the fight or tell them to push. I'm not sure why. Once the guns start going off stealth is usually out the window unless you haven't been seen. Great list.
Yeah, I also see this a lot when sneaking up to compounds while the team inside is fighting a target. It almost never works since they can just see if you're in the compound lol
A small adjustment to #4 I'd like to make is to know when to rush someone throwing a grenade and when to back up. I often find myself around the maximum throw range of the nade and there running away is often the better alternative.
The key really is either moving back or forth and knowing what to do in each situation. Going for new cover inside the throw range is what will get you killed.
10 things only? 😅
10 things that get you killed
10) "I'm under the fence, super safe, easy res me"
9) "That pig boi got me pretty bad, gotta go out of the lair and heal, easy-peasy"
8) "I missed two shots from pax to the head as solo, three is the lucky number"
7)"Throwing flash, lads (whitescreen)"
6) " That doggos will never see me creeping on compound"
5) "That frag fell pretty far from me"
4) "Gotta cook this dynamite a little bit more for extra crisp"
3) "That tower looks like a perfect sniper spot"
2) "Its red. Let's kill the boss faster"
1) "Bullets are for pussies. Fix Bayonets!"
This made me lol start to finish
But fixed bayonets worked at Rorke’s Drift, how could it not wor-*BANG*
The trick of the gunslinger is not to hug walls and windows
I’ve never been killed for that reason I’ve gotten plenty of amazing hip fire kills because my gun is always ready you should only use hunter if your a bomb lance main why would you want extra steps to hip fire and then another to aim down sites.
@@radiationzack1012 I think shotguns work better in Hunter mode. Instant shoulder aim can be deadly
Nothing gets me killed more than clicking on "Random partners".
Play solo then.
Try playing solo and learn what real pain feels like.
Lol I once got head wall banged through a window at prison by a silenced nagant. It do be like that sometimes
An addendum to #9: If you play with Gunslinger controls, you can hold Q to set your weapon down like a Hunter player would. This lets you reduce your visual profile when you need to, without having to do it all the time.
That wasn't possible when this video was made
Now there is an option with Gunslinger to auto-drop your gun in the settings.
For #9 there is a key bind to holster your weapon when using gunslinger. I believe it's holding X. This negates any downside from using it
I see good streamers complain and whine about getting killed by AI but it's true... they just ignore it and are super kill hungry.
Me: "That'll probably get me killed but I'll take my chances for the 148472nd time"
My main reason is panic lol
Hahaha. Yes!!! I become butterfingers with my controller. Instead of shooting the dude ill panic and hit the map or dark sight instead. My nick name shoukd be fumbles
The trick to this is to take on every fight you can, and eventually you will get used to the panic (in most cases). But I still have moments of sheer panic even after doing this, thats just Hunt for you
@@lpfan0123 lol i feel ya. But your suggestion actually makes sense. Its almost like we are desensitizing ourselves.
@@killthemanwhoquestions2827 It's like talking to girls as a young chap... at first it's hard and you have no clue about what to do. But the more you put yourself in that position, the easier it gets. it has a name, but can't find it atm... xD
The trick is to tell yourself: "I'm gonna fk these guys up and come out alive! Come TRY ME!" No kidding tho, If you tell yourself that it boosts your confidence and have you really wanting to kill them (that is if you're a good shot) rather than panicking.
#1- teammates who wade through sound traps like Karens on their way to the manager, stand still in windows during sniping duels like Drax, and throw consumables that have an insatiable lust for landing at my feet.
Tell em to complete all the trials. It helped my gameplay significantly just from understanding the map better, the weapons better and the movement and timing of the hunters limitations.
Big tip to new players: turn music off, use the Romero 77 in close quarters ALWAYS. Use a revolver at mid range, and don’t engage at long range. Romero 1 taps enemies at point blank range, and when using a single action revolver, you can fan the hammer if you have the character modifier.
There’s one thing I can add here. Camping clues. The clue glows red and makes a VERY obvious sound when players are nearby.
Just yesterday a friend and I wiped a team easily because they were sitting in these 2 outhouses right next to a clue. On top of that, one of them was using gunslinger so I saw their gun sticking out the outhouse which allowed me to line up my Sparks before the fight even started.
Sometimes you may think you have the jump on a team when you really don’t.
Watched about 10 of your videos after discovering your channel, and I just clocked on to "4FS" lol
Playing with randoms. Can't count the amount of times I've played with players that run around, make a lot of noise, draw players towards us, then hide during the gunfight, or rather "flank" by running in a straight line away from the fight (no joke I've been told that by a guy that left us fighting 2v3)
1 of them should be “Make sure it’s clear or safe before you loot” I have this one friend that’s is an utter loot goblin and loots during a shootout and it gets him and us killed some times 😂.
wow actually a video with real proper hunt showdown tips. the bigger youtubers would never give good tips like this.
Remembering "Wall Bangs" are a thing. This goes both way. I was in a shootout armed with Zorngeist, target had went behind a tree. In a split second I remembered the Long Guns can over-pen the trees (from all the times it had happened to me), I aimed were I figured his head was and fired. Boom, Headshot. He hadn't even crouched to throw off my aim.
I once was running on a ceeling of a house and knew under me is a player. I shot all of my rounds down there, on the metal roof. I used a small ammo gun. I don't think I have to say why none of the shots I took hit.
You'd be surprised how often enemy teams rush into my trapped up boss lair. Solid tactic imo.
One of my best friends loves this game and always wants to play with me, but he does so many of these. It can be a real pain.
My friend is a charger I'm more defensive we make it work......until he ticks the game off.
I just cover fire look like easy prey while my mate finds a way to kill them we both know I'm no good shot but I tend to survive even hell. It's always random
I don't know what it is, but I usually do pretty well in my fights and I make a fair amount of these mistakes.
Out of everything, I think my biggest strength is my prying nature. I'll scope out routes, door mechanics, bear traps, AI placement and try to work out the best way to weaponize these things.
I remember that I killed a 3 man team who had just entered the boss area while playing solo by turning on a nearby generator to bring AI closer to their position and cover my sounds, open all doors and check for cracks in the walls that I can crawl into and out of and nabbing traps while I am out of danger to set in popular boss kiting paths so that the enemy hunters step on them while running from the boss.
I was able to turn it from a 3v1 into a mosh pit of dogs, fire zombies, the boss and almost nowhere to move for the enemy team until eventually they just died and were kind enough to kill most of the enemies for me.
Oh, and also, bring the axe. I've gotten a stupid amount of use out of it to the point where I can go full games without ever pulling out my gun.
I use gunslinger because its just easier for me. I just wish there is a button I can press to put my gun to the side.
That would be the perfect thing to turn it around. Switch to melee mode instead of switch from melee mode
@@grandmasterTrend73 I mainly want it for that movement speed. I already have a button set to do a melee attack.
Hold Q. I run gunslinger but have my weapons lowered unless I'm using fanning/levering. You can have your cake and eat it, too.
Number 1. My potato computer acting up and giving me 20 FPS
Number 2. My crappy sensitivity I never seem to get right, either under shooting or overshooting
Number 3. Epic internet
The bullet "physics" are wonky af in this game, and some iron sights seem off. It needs a lot of attention imo as do these new "special" rounds that aren't really special or that useful so far as i've seen. Or they'll give a good buff then neuter something else. Guess the devs don't realize being afraid to make upgrades and limiting like that them is how you end up with a broken shitty unbalanced game.
I have seen a lot of hate for the Gunslinger control set, but if you hold down the quick swap (default q I believe) you lower your weapon. So the problems such as weapon jutting out or small fov etc, you can completely mitigate by holding q for 1 second.
Clearing sound traps/AI, or generally interacting with anything within a compound is literally the least "stealthy" way of playing. As you eliminates sound traps/interact with stuff, you'll always leave traces that others could tell that someone had been through here.
The top reason I die is misplaced explosives lmao, nice video man!
#4 is one that gets me the most. I'm working on rushing them while they cook instead of running.
Your just fucked in that type of situation if your in a building absolutely run for your life
I have trouble with positioning. I always feel like I'm in the wrong place that doesn't help my team mates, especially when attacking a compound. Either I'm too far away so I can't support my friends when they get into an ingagement, or I'm too close and we get ambushed. I just don't know where to go at any given time that would create an advantage for my team.
Most common mistake imo, staying stationary for too long. Like it's been said in the video, shoot and relocate. if they push your "shot location", you already relocated and possibly are ready to throw in some nades or molotovs at your last location. Put yourself more in fights situations, so you get the feeling of battle rotations. it helped me a lot by playing solo in the beginning. Sure, I died a shitload of times, but that way you also learn not to depend on your team mates too much. Don't matter if you are a full squad if you can save your own ass in any situation... xD
@@kristofmertens267 haha cool thanks. That's just good, general life advice. I'll keep it in mind.
@@LeRoyt97 no problem mate, good luck hunting! 😁👊✌
Small trick regarding fanning that everyone shouldn’t forget. You can still aim. You don’t have to rely on RNG for your second shot. It is way more reliable to aim once you know your next shot will kill.
And please stop shooting scopes weapons when you aren’t 100% confident you will kill your opponent. Unless you have a really good angle that flanks an enemy hunter team perfectly where you can get several shots out. You won’t get another opportunity.
Oh and it saves ammo on fanning too since you don’t have to rely on RNG.
#11: Play your Weapon: The most frustrating Deaths were when an experienced Player bumrushed me with Shotguns or always kept the distance with long range Weapons.
#12: Play different Weapons: Most newbies learn one or two weapons at the beginning and stick with them because they know how to play it. Take a different one. Play it a little. Yes you will die more often but then learn and see #11
#13: Dont force a fight: If you think you are not ready, let them pass and go your way.
#14: Learn the Map: know where the peeking spots are and try to avoid beeing in the peeking area, even if that means taking a longer route.
#15: Learn the Spawnpoints: know where to look at the start of the map to avoid getting shot in the back the first minute.
Single Boss only: Dont be Team number #2. when you find your team on a single boss maps and the boss is banished coming right after as "Team 2" at the boss layer is qite dangerouse. The probabillity to get sandwiched between the boss team and team 3- team 4 is high. So you have 2 options play fast so your only enemy is the boss team, or rotate that you ensure team 3- team 4 are the first to engage the compound.
I would say the two biggest things that get me killed in hunt is, number one: my aim number two partners not going loud when I go loud. The partners that just panic camp whenever gunshots go off. The teammates that are just way too passive.
Choosing a weapon because of its damage output instead of using a weapon you are comfortable with
....no.... no you shouldn’t
Here’s another tip, weapons that compnsate for poor aiming, like shotguns or any weapon with fanning and levering have cons that outweigh the pros; like inconsistent damage or uncontrollable recoil
Top 10 things that kill me in Hunt
1. Getting headshot while running in the open
2. Getting shot in the head when crouching
3. Getting headshot when I clean the area
4. Getting headshot when I am camping in the bush
5. Getting headshot when I jump over the fence
6. Getting headshot when I attack people from the back, so they turn around and instantly kill me
7. Getting headshot through the wall when I sit in a safe place and don't move so enemies won't hear me
8. Getting headshot from a friend that decide to look at the exact same window frame.
9. Getting headshot with a sniper form about 100 meters away
10. Getting headshot with a pistol on small bullets from about 100 meters away when the person can see about 1 pixel of you
Honourable mentions:
Getting headshot when I spawn and make 5 steps.
Getting headshot when I peak small hole for the first time.
Getting headshot when I am already around the solid wall but the game just don't really care.
Well damn, Im guilty of most of these. Thanks for the video, maybe beeing aware of these mistakes helps me avoid them going forward
New to the game, about 40 hours and the passive play tip is definitely the one I apply the most.
Holy smokes at 3:31, teammate dies in front of you like it’s a movie
Never camp extracts because the bounty holders will be pissed at the lame play and steam roll
#11 broken hit registration
I don't disagree with any of this, but to offer a point in the other direction, I recommend everyone spend some time random duo queueing. It helped my game, a lot. You learn to play with many different styles of teammates. My core group all pretty much plays the same game, since we all came up together. Playing with the randos has forced me to adapt to their styles and opened up my perception of what players of different experience levels do in fights. Don't get me wrong, you will still have Captain Crouchwalk, sitting 93 meters away and watching as you fighting a duo at the boss lair. Those games are always going to happen. :)
I can't believe I keep watching these and not be subbed, well that changes now.
ADMIT IT: you watched me and my friends play! and then made this video!!! it perfectly describes every round we play :D
I will learn from this thank you. They will fear me.
So can you explain gunslinger vs others please?
You have to aim to hip fire it’s fucking stupid
the gunslinger problem can easily be fixed. dont stand so close to walls, also just.....pull out something that dosent stick out
wish my friends would realize all of this. literally trying to teach them everything in this video but theyre just too scared to move
the amount of times I'll watch hunters crouch walking across an open field
Number 1: getting shot at
Extract camping is bad, because you only block 1 out of 3 exits and you will most likely lose the bounty in 2 of 3 cases and in the last remaining case you will have a bad positioning with little space to move.
Put traps in all compounds leading to the extract, killed entire teams doing this. and It's way more fun whilst waiting on the extract. Hearing BOOM in the background with a nice hitmarker is amazing.
The best 2 tips I can suggest is learn to hipfire and remember to use your gear. The amount of times I've got killed in a fight when I had a really easy way out is ridiculous.
11# For shotgun users, be AGGRESSIVE! There is so many times when I choose to not take a shotgun and my teammates who has one stays inside a building in a corner waiting for the enemy while we try to kill the guy who has crown & king with rifles and pistols.
I'm not calling myself a great player either but come on man!
I'd love to agree with you. I'm a very aggressive shotgun main, but shotguns kinda suck. If you get the sneak and someone isn't facing you, or their shoulder is facing you, they won't die in any reasonably range. Another thing is that shotguns are pretty unreliable. Console makes it even harder for shotguns, considering the fact you'll have to make flicks and jump around so you don't get one shot. I wish shotguns could consistently 1 shot, but because they can't, we've got to move around as much as possible, sometimes that makes us miss our shots. Of course, it wouldn't really matter because we'd still do 26 damage everytime.
my teammates blame me for "not enough teamwork" when I dont stick to them :/
Nr.5 Literally the opposite is the reason we've all died several times.
I keep a steady pace, I turn around, and my team is far behind.
Nothing makes me laugh more than seeing this dude capped on 3:29
They really just need to give gunslinger a button that lets you put your gun down
It would be a nice addition, but I feel they want to encourage people to use hunter as much as possible, the game was designed around that control scheme after all.
The clipping on gunslinger gets me killed far less than trying not to potato hunters 2 button ADS. I just can't get used to it. I tried when I first started, but it was just 1 more thing to screw up in a high pressure fight.
I'm guilty of bad revives. I hate being outnumbered and want to bring my teammates back, but this got me killed a lot recently.
Sounds like you just need teammates that aren't dead weight... If your back is hurting from all the lifting you're doing it's gonna have a negative effect on your gameplay eventually.
@@lonestarbob5519 To be fair though, I'm just as often the first one to die because I have the least amount of patience and I like to play high risk, high reward.
@@Ben-kz2km i feel that. And sometimes a crouching chad/hidden rat combo works great. I have footage on my channel of this. My rat instincts often override a good play though and it's a habit i'm breaking in this game. But if you had another chad type you could get some good steamrolls going. I've found the bumrush works great in this game rather you're stab happy like me or a shotty main or like to lever fools down with the winfield or such. the game has a great basis, offers much challenge and fun plus multiple playstyles. it just needs some polishing by the devs with a few qol updates for new players to make the game less gatekeep-y for them versus high level legacy players/founders and to improve a little on a few weapons and new ammos types with some tweaks and this game will be aces.
indecisiveness is a big one for me. I'm still very new to Hunt so I'm typically slow to engage on people.
#5 is probly imo the most important on all of this when it comes to people who play with randoms. I personally don't mind working with randoms and new players as a prestige 16 but I usually will test their independence by suggesting to split up at the start of a match to get clues faster, this is usually my way of differentiating butt huggers and confident players.
Here's my 2 cents worth:
1. Keep moving, NEVER stay stationary.
2. Limit usage of highground/sniper positions. You can see everything, but everyone can see you.
3. If you're closely pursuing hunters and you have a shot, take the shot - just not out in the open if you can help it. (The amount of times I've inevitably died simply by not shooting and waiting for a 'better' opportunity...)
4. Standing res/loot/clue will often get you killed. Your head is much easier to hit.
5. Running in straight lines or other predictable movements.
6. Not assigning easy to use buttons for essential tools/consumables. When under pressure, fumbling around by mouse scrolling for your medkit or stims wastes crucial time that will often get you killed.
7. Not using separate jump and mount keys. It's all sweet to use the unified jump/mount key until you're in a serious fight and find yourself mounting a fence/box in front of the enemy when you meant to side-jump or repeatedly jumping like an idiot in front of a fence when you needed to mount.
#1 don't charge in #2 don't make noise #3 be with nature #4 don't attack the boss wait for the right moment #5 don't use the escape route close to u use the far end ...takes more time but it's the safest
the only time i camp the extract that hard is when the light house is next to it,since they normaly dont even look at it when the boat makes sounds
Good Tipps but all of it easier said than done 😉 I tried the hunter controls but somehow I can’t get comfortable with. Especially the fact that tools and consumables are also used as a melee weapon without pushing the other button first. It got me killed several times and it takes much longer when i quickly want to heal behind a tree.
Issue with number #5 having you team spread out will often allow a more coordinated team to pick each team member off one at a time and prevent revives
The more coordinated teams are the ones that spread out though, they fold in like a web and deny cover from different angles.
@@4FSGaming except 99% of the times I die when spread out is because I get into a gunfight with a whole team and can't shoot all three at once and I go down before any teammate can get a shot running, together and loosely is what keeps a team alive and able to take on other teams most effectively in my experience
Number 11: knowing when to play at all
If your already upset or in a bad mood, dont play the game. If you havent slept well or swamped with work, don't play the game. This goes for all games, but in order to have fun playing you gotta be in the mood to play
number 10 is my nemesis. I am way too passive or stealth when my m8s got killed.
Cool, calm, and collected.
The amount of times ive killed 2 in a team fight just to die to a third and realise I'm fighting solo because the fandoms think they are playing MGS
Six dogs, two hives and an immolator! 😂😂😂
10. 10 and more 10. pisses me off how many times randoms either sit two compounds back with their Springfield Marksman or sit in a bush when it's 1v1 and allow the enemy player to revive the other team mates, in both cases what should have been a 3v3 turns into a 3v2 then 3v1, and we usually lose.
I have a friend who's really bad about number 10 and it ends up being a 1v2 and then he complains that his star rating went down when he dies. Or even worse he wants his star rating up but doesn't push with me and then I wipe 2 teams and I tell him like dude I'm not gonna have a shot lined up while you don't and say he's over here if you come here you can get him. I'm gonna take the shot and if I end up getting 2 5 stars and you get 1 1 star, thats on you
I attacked a #10 team today. Barbed upp every exit in Testimony Church, we just smashed down the Doors and sprayed avto throuh the barbwire 🙂 hade nowhere to go and cornerd in a wooden building.
Number 1: sheer fucking luck, if you didn’t click on their head then they clicked onto yours
I was playing at in night mode, i turn my monitor brightness way up to the point the game doesn’t even look good anymore, i still couldn’t see well, then my friend gets snipe from so far away, i pick him up and run away with him, this guy lands his shots on him so well, i turn around and i can’t see a dam thing, i pick him up and then i notice the snipers shoots again, almost hitting him, insanely good. But how, its so dark. I felt so discourage by this that i stop playing
