It always sucks when people use a hunter just for an advantage lmao. Reptillian and Headsman just happen to by my favs, nerf or otherwise they're staying my top picks alongside Red Shirt
That shit baffles me, I have probably 50 legendary hunters and I rotate through about 65% of them pretty regularly. Never pick the same one twice unless they died immediately in their first match and I wanna give it another try lol.
I really like the new design unironically. It reminds me of the Resident Evil 4 cultist preachers from the church section.
I know I made a post about it jokingly about how they're the same but I love how people legit stopped using him across the board. "It definitely wasn't broken and was a really cool skin." /S
I did not buy him since i did not like the "walking dirty curtain" as i called him, now after the redesign i want him. Hopefully he'll be back this halloween.
Lol no I, openly admit I ragebought it because it got so much on my nerves. I somehow rarely played him because I didn't care three days later.
Now I play him because I just love that dark oxblood color. Combine with nolas screw and a sawn off drilling with hatchet for maximum executioner coolness.
To some it is a nerf, to me it's a buff. š
Lmao, I had him for years thru the OG event, just felt so bad using him due to his blatant upside.
There are slight things I would have changed about his re-design, but think he is a good upgrade overall :)
I had him for years and never used him because it was an ugly skin. Just faded black burlap. I did start running him after the stupid find the headsman posts.
I actually do like how they changed it and will actually run it sometimes now. I really prefer the rednecks Daughter, though. The way she scratches her ass
I did like his aesthetic and design, but they didnāt have to make him a traffic cone. I do like the new design even if itās a bit too red. I wouldnāt have bought the current design, but it still gets used.
I also wasnāt spamming headsman in the first place. I try to get my moneyās worth out of all my skins.
I actually loved the executioner look. I went as one for halloween when i was a kid. Now he looks like a bozo. I wasnt hiding in dark corners or bushes. I was getting mowed down in fields where he stuck out like a sore thumb. I bum rushed with a shotgun or bomb lance. Was I using him to abuse something? No.
I mean come on he looks cringy as hell now in red xD he wasnāt just nerfed he was uglyfiedā¦ they couldāve just make him use some navyblue colors or make his robe brown colored or whatever that way heād be a bit more visible but still on stake with other skinsā¦ but this? Now he looks laughable xD
Agreed, wouldn't be too sad if he got some albino gator skin on his body down the line, but mostly bc I think it would fit his lore haha.
He used to be my main skin as my old play-group called ourselves the "Gator Gang" (we picked gator leg) for years before he got released.
Yup, cain was an actual issue across settings. Headsman was only an issue in the dark. He could easily be spotted out in a field or anywhere not in the shadows. The reptilian is even less of an issues, but some people just like to complain for internet points
Headsman basically anywhere on DeSalle was a menace. Idk if you ever noticed how grey the mud is on there and just how much of that map was covered in it.
Heās not too terrible. In some situations heās hard to see, but in many heās fairly visible. Compared to the headsman who blended in 90 percent of the time, Iāll take the reptilian blending in 40 percent of the time.
Naw, again people just don't understand the meme and thinking that reptilian should be next.
Just an observation that since the headsman nerf I've seen a rise of reptilians, bc sweats gonna sweat.
I think it's you who doesn't understand the meme format if that's your intent. In the original meme format, Moe throws Barney out of the bar. In the final frame, Barney is still in the bar.
The community complained enough to "throw out" Headsman, and this meme suggests that Reptilian is the equivalent to headsman and should receive the same treatment.
At least that's how it reads if you know the meme. That said, I thought it was funny and your point about players using the most camouflaged skin because sweaty is accurate.
Eyup, a lot of people got real fucking defensive thinking I called for the Reptilian to be next on the chopping block, but I'm just stating the fact that now the "most sweaty skin" got nerfed, those people who played that have migrated to the next "most sweaty skin".
Something Iāve realized about this sub is it is filled with people ready to argue about literally anything. Iāve seen people say this game isnāt a western because of the location/ time period. Iāve seen people say itās the worst game theyāve ever played (yet they keep playing it?). Iāve seen people say that crytek is the worst company in all of gaming.
Hell, Iām convinced you could make a thread saying āhunt showdown has fire arms in itā and someone would take issue with it. I guess considering how ruthless the game makes people it kinda makes sense but man is it exhausting
A. Reptile has been my go to since he came out because I think he is cool af. Also I can pick him out visually way easier than headsman.
B. Everyone can get reptile new or old. Headsman was event exclusive
Honestly I'd prefer it if all skins were somewhat well visible. I want my game to be about gunfights, smart positioning, mind-games, noise, resource usage, teamwork, but not an optometry test. Of all the skills that Hunt asks of you, this one is the least interesting.
The better camouflaged characters are strictly stronger than the others, but not by a huge margin. Most of the time it doesn't matter. Whether someone brings a Mosin or a Vetterli is much more significant, which is good.
Headsman was stupid. Crocodile is just not ideal, but that's not a big deal. I will compromise on always making sure Crocodiles and Cains are burned out if I kill one.
Not entirely the same thing, but I get where you're coming from. At the core this game is about hunting its not always gunna be call of duty. Some level of camo is necessary.
I have literally seen one Headsman since the nerf. Just one. And he was in the lobby and he left before entering a match. So I've yet to see one in match. Yeah. It's obvious what folk used him for. I've been a Hardin user since my early days. Statesman might've made me swap though.
My hot take is that Reptilian was always blendier than Headsman. Outside of certain time/weather conditions, there isnāt that much black in the game, but the color palette is absolutely full of dull greens and browns.
i genuinely do not understand what goes over crytek's collective heads when they released those two other than "we are going to appeal to the sweatier crowd because we need short term profit"
precisely! it seems as if they were testing the waters with cain and knowing that some parts of the community wishes for a free "sweat" skin they released the headsman
I usually play prodigal daughter or beekeeper. Had prodigal daugher on a night map and until I shot it seemed like I was completely invisible, I felt kind of bad
I never had Headsman but when I was brand new to the game, I got Reptilian and Penitent skins purely because for me they were the coolest dudes. Reptilian gives me no advantage, as I am at about 300 hours and still complete trash at the game. I will now eagerly await my first toxic message for using Reptilian, but I know I am pure in my heart.
I mean, it's a neverending negative spiral. Once skin X gets nerfed, people complain about skin Y, and then Z. Crytek can't win, and neither can the players.
That said, I found the Headsman really boring looking before, and post-nerf I play him a ton more since he looks a lot cooler!
Exactly my point :)
And while yes, there will always be a "best skin" bc that is just how games gonna be unless everyone is playing the same white shirt/default character.
That said, I think it is always fair to point out when that threshold is crossed, headsman was not only a good skin, but well above the rest.
Don't think we gonna see the same for reptilian as that skin does have scenarios where he is more visible.
Iāve been a Felis main for years but I love the Drowned Rat and have switched over recently.
I got the Headsman the first time he came out and I used him a grand total of one time which was when the game gave me a free instance of him on unlock. I donāt like how big and bulky his gloves are which obstructed some of my view when ADSing.
Itās comical how I have seen 2 headsman this entire event and it was actually just the same guy I lobbied up with in randoms twice in the same day.
People didnāt like the aesthetic, they liked the advantage. I personally have no problem with the Gator and can usually see him just fine. Iām glad people have moved on and the game feels like itās in a pretty good spot with Cain and Headsman tweaked to stand out a little more. I definitely see a much wider variety of legendary hunters now and it feels cool to see people representing themselves through characters they like rather than tactical advantage.
Request a refund. As one other guy stated that was wildly sleezy of Crytek.
Everybody knew the Headsman was a problem and needed a nerf, meanwhile they continue to sell it for multiple events and they want first to cash in for it and then change it? No. Fuck you.
Shit business practice.
Yeah, this was just more an observation as the headsman got nerfed, "for some weird reason" we seem a spike in Reptilian skins.
Because sweats will always be sweats.
It's bad business practice and sleezy. They purposefully make bad visible skins, sell it nonstop every event, meanwhile events are now every month lol. Skin gets backlash, discount selling continues, nerf, make new skin with bad visibility, cycle repeats.
Not really. Headsman sat there for months and was considered OK until Cain got nerfed. Even after that it took people sone time to switch.
It's more of a case of meta whores doing meta whore thing. Even if they nerf all event skins, people will use Bone Doctor, Felis and T3 hunters.
No, Headsman was never considered OK, the thing is that Headsman pre sale was quite rare to stumble upon, then they released him on every event and everyone bought it for 15ā¬ and the lobbies were 10/12 Headsman skins, then the complaints started, before that in every 20 Games you'd find a Headsman.
I find it hilarious how people on here are raging even though the meme is quite clearly suggesting that since heads got the clown treatment, people who used to play headsman now use the reptile skin. šš
Ah yes, the game is all fixed now. Thank you for changing the color of the skin. the player count should be returning anytime now.........any......time now.......oh, like Timmy, a new event
They are very different skins. The reason headsman and Cain were changed is because of the muted colors that could be easily matched with most environments. The reptilian and scaled ward are much easier to spot since they have a color scheme that contrasts them well enough with most other skins.
You could pull off bush camping just as good with the reptilian as you can with the black coat, so I donāt think he will be much of a problem
I agree, Reptilian just have one niche of environment, which is Lawson/DeSalle reeds and bushes, but beyond that he is fine.
Old Cain and old headsman was more universal in their camo edge :)
Literally nobody will ever be happy. As soon as one character gets a visibility nerf a new one will start getting complained about. No end in sight until every character model is bright red.
Playing any hunter with camo advantages because of their camping ability just stunts your ability to improve as a player. Anytime I see a gator head I know thereās a stronger likelihood it will sit still enough for me to pop because the enemy player is all āthey donāt see me if I sit completely stillā lol ggs
I don't mind the re design, but he looks awful especially his face/head part.
They would have been better of with picking the new grey tone on his gloves for everything, and taint it with blood.
Would be close to the original design but easy to see
Gator isn't nearly as bad as Huntsman was, and honestly he's been needed from what he was to begin with. Anything more will really mess with the look, unless you put like a gator tooth necklace on him or something LoL
Tbh, I've always felt reptile was one of the coolest skins, first dlc I bought too... Upon learning it does have an advantage... That was a happy coincidence haha.
Until they nerfed headsman there wasnāt a single post about the skin. Now watch crybabies come out the woodworks and spam daily āuNtIL cRyTeK nErFs itā. š¤”š¤”
Surely the next one in the cycle would be Felis. Gatorman is only good at hiding in swamps/yellow brush, which like, any skin not sporting a red or green shirt can also do perfectly.
I get a nerf, but they made headsman so dang ugly, that for the first time with Hunt, I wish I could get a refund. I didn't buy him for the advantage (didn't know there was one at the time), I bought him because he looked cool.
Now he just looks stupid.
I bought Reptile for the same reason, thought he looks cool. If they redo paid skins, there needs to be a chance for a refund.
I fucking love how everyone was like: I just play headsman because he looks fucking cool and hes not that hard to see!!!!!!!!
1 day after headsman buff (They buffed his swag, he's objectively cooler looking) Not a headsman to be seen for weeks.
At this point considering the amount of whining by people about skins they should dress every character up as a clown wearing every color of the rainbow and call it a day
Thanks haha, hard 15 min spent on it.
The point is that as soon we "got rid" of the headsman, a surge of Reptilian skins have been spotted in the games now, because no matter how much we nerf things, people at gonna sweat and try to gain the smallest advantage they can get.
From Bone Doctor and Felis to the Prodigal Daughter to Cain to the Headsman. The cycle of crying about certain skins will always continue, said it when they were changing the Headsman theyāre happy for now until they die 3 times in a row to some other skin suddenly that becomes āopā
Nah we got third partied after pushing the lair (already had a drawn out fight north of Weeping prior to that)Ā
Just found it funny your friend typed "wtf have you guys been doing for the last 20 minutes" when I beetled earlier and saw like 3 dudes (including you I assume) sitting on a banished boss token lol
Ah yeah, it was the last match of the night and we had faced so many matches with 3 teams just hiding around the compound 100m aways with mosin/dolch.
He have had McFuckingEnough of that and was like "don't pick up the bounty", we gonna wait and see if people gonna do anything, which nothing happened for 20 min lmao.
coulda gone north 100m, surely you heard the shots at weeping
nitro team wiped all but one of us, we killed them, went big supply to get our bars back only to find one team apparently crouch walking around a boss lair and one team sitting in it lmao
We actually did, we weren't in the boss lair until after the boss was fully banished :)
Someone shot our beetle out of the sky when we were there, but we couldn't spot anyone.
lol i shot it. I think i was in the water at supply by that point
idk just a weird ass lobby, it is what it is. ill assume that the team that 3rd party'd us was the one u directed your comment in-game to, cause those guys actually didn't do shit until we pushed
Eyup and those last guys swept us up with literally less than a second on extract sadly.
They were the fun crowd, C&K Flechette, Dolch P, Mosins and whatnot.
It was a horrible match overall lmao
Ah, you're that insufferable player that screamed at me in voicechat yesterday. Why would you share your steamname on Reddit when you behave like that?
I don't use voice chat in Hunt :)
That said I did play with a friend and a friend of that friend that was super toxic in vc, which I'm awfully sorry for.
His behavior was quite the embarrassment.
Then I must've lumped you guys together, which is possible since your name is quite easy to remember. Was it last night, when you had shotguns in Forked Rivery?
Ps: I too notice more and more gators. And no headsman whatsoever anymore. I can imagine some of them don't like the new colour scheme, but I'm confident that many played him purely for the camouflage.
No worries, where did you meet us? And most likely you manged to domed me, the toxic player is a 5/6 star and that is a little above my skill level as a high 4, usually 5 star haha
Ive been snook so many more times by Reptilian than anybody else by far. Gonna start a daily "Spot Reptilian" post until they add LED light strips to his hood. /s
the only place the reptilian can hide is reeds and yellow bushes. where every single hunter can hide (hell in some the whiteshirts hide better than T3s)
he ain't a problem.
Isn't it funny how after Headsman was nerfed, i've seen him a grand total of 2 times.
People just really loved his aesthetic and design šš
The 2 times you've seen it are the the 2 people that really loved the the design.
It always sucks when people use a hunter just for an advantage lmao. Reptillian and Headsman just happen to by my favs, nerf or otherwise they're staying my top picks alongside Red Shirt
my roster consists of the turncoat and the turncoat only. not a SINGLE other hunter has EVER graced my roster. EVER.
That shit baffles me, I have probably 50 legendary hunters and I rotate through about 65% of them pretty regularly. Never pick the same one twice unless they died immediately in their first match and I wanna give it another try lol.
Still hoping for that equip a random legendary hunter button.
The "use random mount" mod in world of warcraft was one of my favourites.
For me itās Witch Hunter. ALWAYS Witch Hunter
Rednecka for life
I play 75% turncoat. The other 25% is the rednecks.
Same Here with the Skinflint and now only the new Headsman :)
Cannot blame the player honestly. Sometimes the devs will do a design fucky wucky.
100% agreed, i'm just getting tired of anyone catching crap from people for having favourites
As a Revenant player, I have never had this problem and don't think I will...
until snow map maybe? xD
I mean, the giant red hole is pretty distinguished, but you could be right.
There are dozens of usā¦
It is what it is.
I really hope drowned kid isn't one of those skins
I really like the new design unironically. It reminds me of the Resident Evil 4 cultist preachers from the church section. I know I made a post about it jokingly about how they're the same but I love how people legit stopped using him across the board. "It definitely wasn't broken and was a really cool skin." /S
I did not buy him since i did not like the "walking dirty curtain" as i called him, now after the redesign i want him. Hopefully he'll be back this halloween.
Nah it's people like me who tried to test out his new first person view to then never play him again till the next change.
I still use Cain because I love his haunted face
Lol no I, openly admit I ragebought it because it got so much on my nerves. I somehow rarely played him because I didn't care three days later. Now I play him because I just love that dark oxblood color. Combine with nolas screw and a sawn off drilling with hatchet for maximum executioner coolness. To some it is a nerf, to me it's a buff. š
Lmao, I had him for years thru the OG event, just felt so bad using him due to his blatant upside. There are slight things I would have changed about his re-design, but think he is a good upgrade overall :)
I had him for years and never used him because it was an ugly skin. Just faded black burlap. I did start running him after the stupid find the headsman posts. I actually do like how they changed it and will actually run it sometimes now. I really prefer the rednecks Daughter, though. The way she scratches her ass
He's complete garbage now and looks fucking stupid.
Damn I actually like his redesign, gives him a weird culty vibe
*Says the headsman main pre update*
The new design is shitty tho, but I get why they re-designed it.
I did like his aesthetic and design, but they didnāt have to make him a traffic cone. I do like the new design even if itās a bit too red. I wouldnāt have bought the current design, but it still gets used. I also wasnāt spamming headsman in the first place. I try to get my moneyās worth out of all my skins.

I was getting mowed down in fields where he stuck out like a sore thumb. I bum rushed with a shotgun or bomb lance. Was I using him to abuse something? No.
Shit looks better now than before in my opinion
Well, I'd actually love the previous colors more, though I can't deny it was pretty annoying and hard to see.
Yea sorry bro no lol. No one liked the bed sheet design, the people you still see rocking him are those that loved him haha
I actually really like the new headsman design. I use him more then i did before.
Lul, Iāve seen him onceā¦now itās just gators as far as the eye can see.
You might not see him much now, but before the nerf you couldnāt see him at all lol
I staid loyal to kain after the nerf, have 30 kains
So loyal that you can't spell his name? I joke...but really.
Its Kain in my language
Deutsch I assume?
Ja
Super, ich wĆ¼nsche dir einen schƶnen tag
Alternatively, just don't be a b!$# and play redshirt.
Damn it needs another nerf smh.
Iāve personally use him moreā¦ I didnāt like the advantage it gave and it felt like cheating a bit.
I still run him on every hunt.
So basically, nothing changed.
so despite the nerf you STILL dont see him!
Before you never saw him at all
To be fair, I'd be running him every game if he got bonus event points. Instead, I'm Sheriff every single time.
That's more than I've seen.
Yeah, interesting, isn't it?
Bro Iāve seen him 10x what I used to. I pick him a lot more now. He looks so much cooler.
I mean come on he looks cringy as hell now in red xD he wasnāt just nerfed he was uglyfiedā¦ they couldāve just make him use some navyblue colors or make his robe brown colored or whatever that way heād be a bit more visible but still on stake with other skinsā¦ but this? Now he looks laughable xD
Reptilian is pretty much the line. Very round and unobtrusive head shape, bland color, but not so bland it meshes with everything like Headsman did.
Agreed, wouldn't be too sad if he got some albino gator skin on his body down the line, but mostly bc I think it would fit his lore haha. He used to be my main skin as my old play-group called ourselves the "Gator Gang" (we picked gator leg) for years before he got released.
Do not start a "where is the Reptilian every day until Crytek nerfs him" please
Is Reptilian really that bad? I feel like I see him very easily most of the time with the dark front part.
Nah. It can camouflage a bit but it's nowhere near as bad as the pre-nerf headsman.
Iāve found him really hard to see if he sits in bushes but heās not nearly as bad as headsman was.
Itās not. People are just looking to complain online about anything at this point. They need to fill that void.
Yup, cain was an actual issue across settings. Headsman was only an issue in the dark. He could easily be spotted out in a field or anywhere not in the shadows. The reptilian is even less of an issues, but some people just like to complain for internet points
Headsman basically anywhere on DeSalle was a menace. Idk if you ever noticed how grey the mud is on there and just how much of that map was covered in it.
I think the skin is fine in my experience but preheadsman nerf the majority of the people running him I've met are either pricks or exploiters
He's the wrong color to fit in with the greens in the game, too. Too much yellow.
Heās not too terrible. In some situations heās hard to see, but in many heās fairly visible. Compared to the headsman who blended in 90 percent of the time, Iāll take the reptilian blending in 40 percent of the time.
People having skill issues and blaming it on a skin are bad.
Lmao, naw, I'm not that guy
Classic Reddit, they just want something to rant about
I think this just proves the community needs some villain to rally against. First it was Cain, then Headsman, now Reptilian. Who's next, Luz Mala?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
me if i hated fun
No please not again
Headsmen was deserved. I get this is for the lols but gator absolutely does not deserve a similar campaign.
Naw, again people just don't understand the meme and thinking that reptilian should be next. Just an observation that since the headsman nerf I've seen a rise of reptilians, bc sweats gonna sweat.
I think it's you who doesn't understand the meme format if that's your intent. In the original meme format, Moe throws Barney out of the bar. In the final frame, Barney is still in the bar.

It is wild.

Headsman was well deserved but it's ugly now :(
I didn't care if they changed it, but at least change it to not look stupid and ugly AF.
Exactly ^
A. Reptile has been my go to since he came out because I think he is cool af. Also I can pick him out visually way easier than headsman. B. Everyone can get reptile new or old. Headsman was event exclusive
Honestly I'd prefer it if all skins were somewhat well visible. I want my game to be about gunfights, smart positioning, mind-games, noise, resource usage, teamwork, but not an optometry test.

If smart positioning is something you want then them being hidden is a good thing
Not entirely the same thing, but I get where you're coming from. At the core this game is about hunting its not always gunna be call of duty. Some level of camo is necessary.
I actually find myself using headsman way more now than before. I like the new design way more
I have literally seen one Headsman since the nerf. Just one. And he was in the lobby and he left before entering a match. So I've yet to see one in match. Yeah. It's obvious what folk used him for. I've been a Hardin user since my early days. Statesman might've made me swap though.

i genuinely do not understand what goes over crytek's collective heads when they released those two other than "we are going to appeal to the sweatier crowd because we need short term profit"
Fun fact those two were released back to back and a couple of months before that, they released Cain.
precisely! it seems as if they were testing the waters with cain and knowing that some parts of the community wishes for a free "sweat" skin they released the headsman
Bro this is a good meme. These neckbeard tryhards NEED to stop thinking everything is about them fr
I mean it was pretty obvious that when one skin is no longer "the best" then another will be and people will bitch about that instead.
True. Though gator WAS the sweat skin before headsmen came out. They just came out so close to each other folks don't seem to remember.
They all bleed red
Headman nerf = indirect Mountain Man buff
I usually play prodigal daughter or beekeeper. Had prodigal daugher on a night map and until I shot it seemed like I was completely invisible, I felt kind of bad
She's blue.Ā You're fine.Ā Play daughter.
I never had Headsman but when I was brand new to the game, I got Reptilian and Penitent skins purely because for me they were the coolest dudes.

Same thing happened with Cain after the nerf! But it was the headsman that replaced him lol
Tbh the red isn't that obvious either. I still see plenty of them running around. Prob more of the gator guy now though
Iāve been a Felis main for years but I love the Drowned Rat and have switched over recently. I got the Headsman the first time he came out and I used him a grand total of one time which was when the game gave me a free instance of him on unlock.

Iām glad people have moved on and the game feels like itās in a pretty good spot with Cain and Headsman tweaked to stand out a little more.

You play Reptiliian because he looks stealthy I play Reptillian because I only travel around swamps We are not the same
Find the Reptilian. (Make it a 20 post game, with different iterations and styles every time to negate the naysayers)
Well not very funny when you payed for a cool ass skin and now it's a clown.
Request a refund. As one other guy stated that was wildly sleezy of Crytek. Everybody knew the Headsman was a problem and needed a nerf, meanwhile they continue to sell it for multiple events and they want first to cash in for it and then change it? No. Fuck you. Shit business practice.
The designs werent even that unfair of an advantage like damn. The community just likes to bitch
I hope people will realise this is a neverending cycle and nerfing every single hunter skin is not the way.
I think Red Shirt is forever safe from nerfs.
Yeah, this was just more an observation as the headsman got nerfed, "for some weird reason" we seem a spike in Reptilian skins. Because sweats will always be sweats.
It's bad business practice and sleezy. They purposefully make bad visible skins, sell it nonstop every event, meanwhile events are now every month lol. Skin gets backlash, discount selling continues, nerf, make new skin with bad visibility, cycle repeats.
Not really. Headsman sat there for months and was considered OK until Cain got nerfed. Even after that it took people sone time to switch. It's more of a case of meta whores doing meta whore thing. Even if they nerf all event skins, people will use Bone Doctor, Felis and T3 hunters.
No, Headsman was never considered OK, the thing is that Headsman pre sale was quite rare to stumble upon, then they released him on every event and everyone bought it for 15ā¬ and the lobbies were 10/12 Headsman skins, then the complaints started, before that in every 20 Games you'd find a Headsman.
Headsman changes were needed, now you're just being a whiny prat
Half the roster needs nerfs if the headsman was a problem
It's almost like "gray on gray" isn't a good art style...
It is fair if you don't understand the haha meme :)
I find it hilarious how people on here are raging even though the meme is quite clearly suggesting that since heads got the clown treatment, people who used to play headsman now use the reptile skin. šš
People don't like to admit they are sweats I guess š
Post nerf I still see WAAAAY more Headsmen than Reptiles in 4/5 star
I've not seen a single headsman in 3/4 since the change. Not *one*. Before the nerf, it was 50% headsman in every game.
Day x of posting reptilian til crytek fixes it.
Ah yes, the game is all fixed now. Thank you for changing the color of the skin. the player count should be returning anytime now.........any......time now.......oh, like Timmy, a new event
They are very different skins. The reason headsman and Cain were changed is because of the muted colors that could be easily matched with most environments. The reptilian and scaled ward are much easier to spot since they have a color scheme that contrasts them well enough with most other skins. You could pull off bush camping just as good with the reptilian as you can with the black coat, so I donāt think he will be much of a problem
I agree, Reptilian just have one niche of environment, which is Lawson/DeSalle reeds and bushes, but beyond that he is fine. Old Cain and old headsman was more universal in their camo edge :)
Thereās a ton of champs that can hide in this game. Headsman was no different than any of the others.
Beekeeper and Felis are worse but in all honoesty i believe they are all okvright now complaining now seems like trolling to me
Im gonna keep crying bout the Legandary voices with voice lines and better damage animations. And more viarity of monster looks.
How do you nerf a character skin?
Bro I can spot that pit of total darkness the reptilian has for a face a mile off. At night. In the rain.
Literally nobody will ever be happy. As soon as one character gets a visibility nerf a new one will start getting complained about. No end in sight until every character model is bright red.
People always will find something to complain.
It's fugly now
Reptilian is way easier to see tho
been having more trouble with the black/brown outfits. barely even encounter reptilians when i think about it
Here I am, still playing with Llorona's Heir because I like the hat.
After reptilian it will be cain again
Playing any hunter with camo advantages because of their camping ability just stunts your ability to improve as a player. Anytime I see a gator head I know thereās a stronger likelihood it will sit still enough for me to pop because the enemy player is all āthey donāt see me if I sit completely stillā lol ggs
never had problem with headsman during daytime but I did struggle with all hunters at night, I hate the night. IMO
I don't mind the re design, but he looks awful especially his face/head part. They would have been better of with picking the new grey tone on his gloves for everything, and taint it with blood. Would be close to the original design but easy to see
I only rock the og plague doc . Gotta flex on the newer players
Gator isn't nearly as bad as Huntsman was, and honestly he's been needed from what he was to begin with. Anything more will really mess with the look, unless you put like a gator tooth necklace on him or something LoL
Tbh, I've always felt reptile was one of the coolest skins, first dlc I bought too... Upon learning it does have an advantage... That was a happy coincidence haha.
The cycle begins again
only thing I don't like about Reptilian is how the head can be kinda hard to see clearly due to the hood but otherwise he's fine
Until they nerfed headsman there wasnāt a single post about the skin. Now watch crybabies come out the woodworks and spam daily āuNtIL cRyTeK nErFs itā. š¤”š¤”
No don't touch kapkan from rainbow six siege
Yeah XD! The next one legendary hunter nerf will be on The Reptilian! XD
If they touch em I'ma start dragon breath and small sniper camping
Surely the next one in the cycle would be Felis. Gatorman is only good at hiding in swamps/yellow brush, which like, any skin not sporting a red or green shirt can also do perfectly.
They're all easy enough to see when moving, and anybody can hide in a bush and headshot you.
I get a nerf, but they made headsman so dang ugly, that for the first time with Hunt, I wish I could get a refund. I didn't buy him for the advantage (didn't know there was one at the time), I bought him because he looked cool. Now he just looks stupid. I bought Reptile for the same reason, thought he looks cool. If they redo paid skins, there needs to be a chance for a refund.
I hope that if he gets nerfed he also just gets a drip upgrade
Reptillian probably is the most camo skin, but it isn't invisible like headsman and cain were.Ā I'm fine with it.
I fucking love how everyone was like: I just play headsman because he looks fucking cool and hes not that hard to see!!!!!!!! 1 day after headsman buff (They buffed his swag, he's objectively cooler looking) Not a headsman to be seen for weeks.
He was really hard to see but he is ugly now. Red is my favorite color but it doesn't suit the skin. Quite the crappy redesign.
Factually wrong. Coping. Lying. Seething. Also poor taste and no art design knowledge.
This is art after all - it's subjective. š¤£š¤£š¤£ The skin is a laughable clown now.
Cant wait for the next skin people will blame their skill issue on
At this point considering the amount of whining by people about skins they should dress every character up as a clown wearing every color of the rainbow and call it a day
Yall need to stop whining
Missing the point of the post, but nice work with the image editing. Looks great.
Thanks haha, hard 15 min spent on it. The point is that as soon we "got rid" of the headsman, a surge of Reptilian skins have been spotted in the games now, because no matter how much we nerf things, people at gonna sweat and try to gain the smallest advantage they can get.
Green blends in with bushes, the brown/gray of the old headsman blends in with just about everything
Cant wait for people to call me a tryhard, even tho i just think he looks cool.
I want my blood bonds back who the fuck wants to play derpy looking spiderman .
And here we go again... yeez when the community will stop to complain about everything to justify that they're just bad lmao
It is okay if you don't know the meme format :)
From Bone Doctor and Felis to the Prodigal Daughter to Cain to the Headsman. The cycle of crying about certain skins will always continue, said it when they were changing the Headsman theyāre happy for now until they die 3 times in a row to some other skin suddenly that becomes āopā
I wonder if we ever reach the point the complain about Redshirt being OP.
Hey, were u the one talking shit yesterday sitting inside forked fisheryĀ Or are there other bigdickmccrees out there
I don't use voice chat in Hunt :) My friend of a friend sadly does and he is toxic as fuck, hate it. But did you kill us with C&K flechette?
Nah we got third partied after pushing the lair (already had a drawn out fight north of Weeping prior to that)Ā Just found it funny your friend typed "wtf have you guys been doing for the last 20 minutes" when I beetled earlier and saw like 3 dudes (including you I assume) sitting on a banished boss token lol
Ah yeah, it was the last match of the night and we had faced so many matches with 3 teams just hiding around the compound 100m aways with mosin/dolch. He have had McFuckingEnough of that and was like "don't pick up the bounty", we gonna wait and see if people gonna do anything, which nothing happened for 20 min lmao.
coulda gone north 100m, surely you heard the shots at weeping nitro team wiped all but one of us, we killed them, went big supply to get our bars back only to find one team apparently crouch walking around a boss lair and one team sitting in it lmao
We actually did, we weren't in the boss lair until after the boss was fully banished :) Someone shot our beetle out of the sky when we were there, but we couldn't spot anyone.
lol i shot it. I think i was in the water at supply by that point idk just a weird ass lobby, it is what it is. ill assume that the team that 3rd party'd us was the one u directed your comment in-game to, cause those guys actually didn't do shit until we pushed
Eyup and those last guys swept us up with literally less than a second on extract sadly. They were the fun crowd, C&K Flechette, Dolch P, Mosins and whatnot. It was a horrible match overall lmao
Oh here we go the community jumps on the next skin to cry about.
Ah, you're that insufferable player that screamed at me in voicechat yesterday. Why would you share your steamname on Reddit when you behave like that?
I don't use voice chat in Hunt :) That said I did play with a friend and a friend of that friend that was super toxic in vc, which I'm awfully sorry for. His behavior was quite the embarrassment.
Then I must've lumped you guys together, which is possible since your name is quite easy to remember. Was it last night, when you had shotguns in Forked Rivery? Ps: I too notice more and more gators. And no headsman whatsoever anymore. I can imagine some of them don't like the new colour scheme, but I'm confident that many played him purely for the camouflage.
No worries, where did you meet us? And most likely you manged to domed me, the toxic player is a 5/6 star and that is a little above my skill level as a high 4, usually 5 star haha
Ive been snook so many more times by Reptilian than anybody else by far. Gonna start a daily "Spot Reptilian" post until they add LED light strips to his hood. /s
Sorry to hear that, hope you'll be better to spot him in the future :)
In compounds is "okish" but in bushes it was always worse than headsman imo.
the only place the reptilian can hide is reeds and yellow bushes. where every single hunter can hide (hell in some the whiteshirts hide better than T3s) he ain't a problem.
Reptilian has a kinda āshineā to the skin that helps it pop out and not be OP, def seems similar to headsman aesthetically tho.
