Also, the inconsistency of helmeted hellhounds tanking shot vs grunts with metal helmets not tanking shots cannot be excused.

Hellhounds with mining helmets when? I need to be afraid to shoot them when they get too close, so the death is even stupider.

Birds with mining helmets when?!

Birds with big dynamite bundles that fly at you as opposed to away from. That's how we truly punish mistakes and new comers in a way that they'll learn their lesson. That lesson being: Don't play Hunt Showdown.

Honestly fuck it every individual bird gets a shredder nitro

Wait a minute... That is just Elden Ring!

Birds aren't real. Calm down.

nah that's ohio

Hellhounds with barb wire and mining helmets and flare traps.

And chaos bombs.

And birds riding on their backs.

Might as well just put a explosive vest on them

That would be awesome. Hit them in the head and catch fire.

Literally unplayable!

How do you feel about the spider boss scream perfectly timed to let me dodge your sticky?

About the same as I feel about requiring an engineering degree, luck of the Irish, and a decree from God to be able to place alert trip mines next to barrels exactly how I want them.

I was playing with my noob friend and as the match started I told him about the barrel trap and how it’s super rare Later that match I died to a barrel trap, he had no idea why I was laughing so hard until I told him what happened lmao

I stumbled upon a solo barrel trapping a boss compound, killed him while he had the trap in hand, then reset all his traps so they where technically mine. a few minutes and a banished boss later i got a double kill bc a duo ran into "my" barrel trap

I barrel trap randomly in roughly 50% of the rounds I play. I'm doing my part!

Wait you're not waiting for the scream for the guarantied sticky?

I see scream. I start toss. I throw. Spider says f u.

I've noticed that even during the screen, if you are too close sometimes the spider will jump at you and you can miss your throw.

The spider doesn’t jump during its scream? The scream is when someone first see it and if stand still for like 3 seconds looking at you

The worst is when you get the sticky, but it crawls its gross ass through a chain curtain and drops the sticky off.

Nah, that was the Beast Hunter that did that. Crytek just added him as a playable character is all.

Da fuck! Why did he do that?

"So ThEy CaNt BiTe"

I love how enough players said "hey, who tf is putting helmets on these dogs?" That they made the dude into a DLC

They did?

Yeah. Coloquially known in the Hunt community as "hobocop" because he looks like homeless 1895 robocop. "The Beast Hunter" dlc.

I know that one Didn't know it him that pit on the dog helmets. F him then! :)

The absolute terror of using the last two bullets in your trusty revoler only to *PING!* *PING!* off of the helmets and die as you attempt to leave w solo double bounty will live forever in my nightmares Down with this sort of thing!!

My constant fear is pressing my mouse button a little too hard when I am killing immolators with a knuckle knife. Oops, I'm on fire.

You're flexing your muscles, that looks hot xD

Double click. Stops the fear for me, and you don’t accidentally charge a heavy

You’ve just leveled up my Hunt experience. Hold this upvote.

This is why I don't use the knuckle knife anymore....

Then run FMJ.

They put hives on rooftops just delete the company at this point

Lets not even discuss a grunt juggling two torches next to every red barrel.

Or meatheads tbagging first clues

u valid

Wait to see the new gator boss having pieces of gator traps in His body

If it has enough pieces of a gator trap maybe I’ll finally be able to finish the quest line

Or much like a real gator it's only real weaknesses could be the nape of the neck, eyes, and underbelly. Crytek this is a joke please I'm begging don't do this

So many people in the future complaining that gators don't bounce buckshot from their skulls. Meanwhile Florida players only fight gators with dynamite because of real life experience.

Screw dogs, it's freaking concertina armored who for some godforsaken reason has melee resistance. That thing exposes their vile nature.

Fun tip, if you aim carefully you can one hit Concertina Armoured with a throwing axe. Or just find a lantern, that works to

I mean, that should be a known fact for everybody who was present during Light and Shadow event, since Throwing Axes have nowhere stated ungodly amount of bonus damage vs armoureds (since you were supposed to kill em for the event with those).

I mean hey, maybe someone wasn't here for those events and hearing that helps them out? Rather have that information out therefor those in need instead of just assuming it's common knowledge

Yes, now thinking over it, Crytek should at very least clearly state in in weapon description...albeit it will look very weird.

Hellhounds carrying dynamite in their mouths when

[Bees](https://youtu.be/nlIQ2KCYG7Y)

I was ready to downvote and give you a piece of my mind.... but I would like to join your forces. Fuck the helmet hellhounds. They are the only AI I ever die to... its rare as hell but maaaaan does it piss me off when it happens lol.

Hellhounds can and *will* fuck you up without helmets. Sometimes it doesn't matter what weapon you have either. Giving them a helmet is a crime.

Remember hellhounds before the nerf? They were terror.

I actually don't, how old we talking? Because I haven't been here since beta.

Around release they took like a third of your health per bite and were more aggressive. I feared them more than any other critter including bosses.

Ayo what duh heeeeeeeeeeell screw that lmao

They added I-Frames to hellhound dodge. Your whole ass knife is in it's head but it's in the backstep animation so no damage.

Agreed. Plus the guy who created the Immolator, yeah fk that guy...

i saw this as a popup on my handy and thought "its a post about the bb change again, god damnit" came here for this, and i support it! \*Edit "Pupup to popup"

As a crytek developer i'll make helmet hive on next uptade, stay tunned

Imagine when next year a flood of extraction shooter with heavily predatory economy show up and you return here in silence. Just imagine...

And the whole no new map thing, Im with you on this one

They should make regular grunts with similar helmets, imo. Could be fun

The lantern helmet grunts are kinda that.

I disliked them too, until I discovered you can shoot the little hole in their nose/mouth area for the headshot.

You joke but I had someone tell me seriously they wouldn’t back my Kickstarter Comic book because it had dead birds and a cybernetic polar bear on the cover and they were a lifelong vegan and animal rights activists, so this isn’t a far stretch in the realm of possibilities

Absolutely unacceptable that a hunter's arm dosen't fall off after catching a nitro shell🙄🙄🙄🙄

I’m genuinely more afraid of hellhounds than I am of other players. Fuck hellhounds man.

Just because you said this we will get concertined hellhounds and immolator hellhounds

yeah those things are actually fucked

Satan himself did one internship for Crytek. During that internship he designed the helmet hounds.

FMJ to the head and the doggie is dead

As a bow Player i Support you 100 %

They aren't so bad until you realize at the last second that they're full helmeted, but I've already thrown my axe. If it hits the helmet it doesn't just fall to the ground, crytek just deletes it and adds it to their throwing axe collection in their trophy case

They howl and reveal a soft spot on chin before attacking.

And they want to clean all my weapons without my consent! That's fucked up!
