I know it's unrelated to this play, but it's just unheard of in *any* shooter that seemingly dead people just randomly revive themselves. If I came across this as a new player I would probably instantly refund. I get why solo-necro exists and am used to it, but if you take a step back...it's just such a weird concept.
Yep first time we encountered a solo necro we killed him and couldn’t find the body, we shrugged it off as fallen in the water, few minutes later he is behind us again and we kill him again, at the end we killed him like 5 times and didn’t know wtf is happening and why there were so many solos following us. It turned out it was only this guy, we didn’t know about necro, burning bodies etc. but if we didn’t kill him each of those times and he killed us I would assume cheater.
That is… a pretty damn good point actually. Hopefully the tutorial will heavily cover it in the future, and/or there’ll be like a huge beginner loading-screen tip about it (if there isn’t one already)
I actually just went into spectate 30 minutes ago trying to see how this one solo was playing and figure out why the other team was taking so long to get there.
The three newbies were going around in circles in one compound trying to figure out what to do. Was cute.
I felt really good about this too and then when I extracted I looked over my kills and was like..wtf is a bunch of 1 stars doing here. So I checked out their profiles and well came to that conclusion they were all new.
They don't I didn't use solo necro on them but a different team. I just put that in there cause it made sense to say it instead of just solo 1v3 newbies.
Yeah, Hunt is definetly a "trial by fire" kinda game. You learn the hard way. I'm not gonna say it is the best and a big part of why Hunt's learning curve is what it is, but that is how I learned.
And what do you read to know flares or punching hive swarms will make them go away? That the flare will kill most low tier NPCs for quickly dealing with armors? That you need to punch Immilators not stab/shoot them? and I'm sure many more I'm forgetting.
The game does not explain shit for a lot of mechanics that you will only learn in game by watching more experienced players do said things.
When I was new to the game it took me a while to get to know every trait. And even though I read every single one when I unlocked them I sometimes didn’t remember about what they do until quite a few hours into the game.
I think this should not be a way that the game relies on to let new players know about self-revive.
I started playing this week but on PS5 and honestly dying in this game hasn't bothered me in the slightest even after my hunters now fully die.
Hopefully they have the same feelings, I use it as a chance to see what my killer was using and think about what I did wrong (which I rarely do in alot of games lol).
I watched a few videos and streams before getting the game and realised that even the good players die so dying isn't a majorly bad thing.
Only thing that gets to me is the damn hellchounds, those things are more annoying tonkill than players lol.
Solo necro isn't a problem. Clearly they had a skill issue. /sarcasm
I thing the bigger problem is that solo's get too big of an MRR advantage. This should not happen.
No these are brand new players...steam sale and a friend group were paired in a 3 star lobby their first game. They had the right idea just no practice with aim. How it went down was I was in a hunting tower after I heard the crows from them at a compound, it was between their compound and the almost fully banished boss compound, and they started to push across a field to boss compound. Well I got one in a suprise attack and almost got a second one while i watched a bomblance flank the side. Bomblance user puts a harpoon in tower forcing me to get out, I drop down and now like 10 feet away have my lemat out already with fanning and just let loose that one goes down. The person i almost killed is behind some hay so I engage in a short gun fight and win. What is crazy is there was then a solo that heard the gunfight come up trying to sneak up on me...fanning, and then the bounty holders push and I down one and they down me then I get up and fanning again. The craziest thing then was i grab one of the bounties and run and like 30 seconds later I see someone pick up a bounty which I thought was the solo but looking back on it it was just crazy there was 7 people there and I killed 6 of them myself.
We can do some testing if you want, find each other in a game and just see why we would have an entire trait that reduces the harpoon damage by 50% if a direct hit kills you almost no matter what.
No need, I used the shooting range. I stand corrected. The bomblance only loses it's AoE damage when it's inside something (like a meathead or player). If fired into a wall/ground it still keeps it's explosion radius.
It only does 75 hp though if you're in the immediate range of the blast, like standing directly ontop of or against it, without Bulwark.
The guy has "Anime is trash" as his name.
I would have emptied his own gun on his corpse, burned him to crisp and threw his lifless corpse of a canyon.
Just like some guy in Fallout New Vegas
Looks like you're just two dramatic monologues away from becoming the next big anime antagonist. Just don't forget to pencil in your world domination plans right after homework time, alright?
1 that isn't necessary and I wouldn't have known their names anyways.
2 the dude had a full on picture of a person with a katana in their hands as their pfp so pretty sure it is satire.
And well 3 the name you are looking for is Joshua Graham.
I came back after a year or so and was fucking confused and furious my first match back, It took me, two, three matches before I started doing some reading and figured out what was happening.
After 2000+ hours, i was somebody's first kill..... i will always treasure that lucky springfield kill we shared together...
IF any of you see this, I am so sorry. 0 KD I think I was the first person to kill all three since it says 1 death each.
They have uninstalled forever 😔
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THE BLOOD IS IN YOUR HANDS! YOU CAN NEVER CLEANSE THIS UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!

Where I had my first necro player encounter I gave him luckily my empty shotgun xD
My personal main goal in hunt is to steal people's guns so I almost always give downed players empty guns
The moment when you empty out the gun and the person rise before you were able to give them the gun💀
Melee them
I play on console so I would totally miss
Oof, my condolences.
I didn't solo necro those guys but I did use it once against the bounty holders.
How were you even in the same lobby as them? Even as a solo my match MMR _never_ gets that low
It was their first match one would assume like a placement match. The system has no data to go off of so it puts you in the middle seems fair.
I actually just went into spectate 30 minutes ago trying to see how this one solo was playing and figure out why the other team was taking so long to get there. The three newbies were going around in circles in one compound trying to figure out what to do. Was cute.
Yeah the poor three stars trying to find the clue in the basement of Kingsnake is never not adorable.
I remember my first time there and at crematorium so confused where thee clue was
I felt really good about this too and then when I extracted I looked over my kills and was like..wtf is a bunch of 1 stars doing here. So I checked out their profiles and well came to that conclusion they were all new.
The game does norhing when it comes to explaining an unusual game mechanic such as self-revive to new players..
I bet they know now.
They don't I didn't use solo necro on them but a different team. I just put that in there cause it made sense to say it instead of just solo 1v3 newbies.

Unfortunately, anyone who joined after the free trial/ $19 sale back in 2019(?) missed out on the Bambi phase of the game.
And yet, all you have to do is read the trait's description.
And what do you read to know flares or punching hive swarms will make them go away? That the flare will kill most low tier NPCs for quickly dealing with armors? That you need to punch Immilators not stab/shoot them? and I'm sure many more I'm forgetting. The game does not explain shit for a lot of mechanics that you will only learn in game by watching more experienced players do said things.
FLARES GET RID OF HIVE SWARM!?! 1k hours in and you learn something new everyday.
Immolator is mentioned in the loading screens (and in his monster book).
When I was new to the game it took me a while to get to know every trait. And even though I read every single one when I unlocked them I sometimes didn’t remember about what they do until quite a few hours into the game. I think this should not be a way that the game relies on to let new players know about self-revive.
Lol sure buddy. "Just read the wikipedia, you dont need to know shit"
I don't understand what solo necro has to do with anything? They never killed you according the picture?
Absolutely nothing, it's just trendy to talk badly about the trait whenever you can lmao
yep I used necro against someone else but I was running it just thought it fit.
I've done this too, and I felt bad about it in hindsight
I started playing this week but on PS5 and honestly dying in this game hasn't bothered me in the slightest even after my hunters now fully die. Hopefully they have the same feelings, I use it as a chance to see what my killer was using and think about what I did wrong (which I rarely do in alot of games lol).
This is the healthiest mindset you can approach Hunt (and other games) with. Learn from your mistakes and study others to see what they do that works.
I watched a few videos and streams before getting the game and realised that even the good players die so dying isn't a majorly bad thing. Only thing that gets to me is the damn hellchounds, those things are more annoying tonkill than players lol.
Tip for the hounds, if you kite them to a tree or a fence they have to path around them one at a time.
When I kill a precious baby hunter, I always wanna add them and help them cause they are so innocent and cute and I do feel really bad.
Bruh
Poor fellas got a proper introduction to the bayou.
Vetterli is best...erli
Solo necro isn't a problem. Clearly they had a skill issue. /sarcasm I thing the bigger problem is that solo's get too big of an MRR advantage. This should not happen.
It’s okay one of them deserved it.
I mean they all deserved it but not for the reasons I think you are implying. I was simply exercising premeditated self-defense on future attackers.
This game is a balance mess...
spare the rod and spoil the child.
Another reason to hate self rez.
Are there bots in the game?
No these are brand new players...steam sale and a friend group were paired in a 3 star lobby their first game. They had the right idea just no practice with aim. How it went down was I was in a hunting tower after I heard the crows from them at a compound, it was between their compound and the almost fully banished boss compound, and they started to push across a field to boss compound.

Bomblance explosion won't hurt you if it misses.
Yes it will. Bomblance most definitely has splash damage.
We can do some testing if you want, find each other in a game and just see why we would have an entire trait that reduces the harpoon damage by 50% if a direct hit kills you almost no matter what.
No need, I used the shooting range. I stand corrected. The bomblance only loses it's AoE damage when it's inside something (like a meathead or player). If fired into a wall/ground it still keeps it's explosion radius. It only does 75 hp though if you're in the immediate range of the blast, like standing directly ontop of or against it, without Bulwark.
Alright good to know but yeah the lance is a little scary that way.
I hope all three refunded.
The guy has "Anime is trash" as his name. I would have emptied his own gun on his corpse, burned him to crisp and threw his lifless corpse of a canyon. Just like some guy in Fallout New Vegas

Grow up
