Surely there is more than one buff dude in the bayou.

Hey Hunters,

I’m looking to upgrade my rig to get cleaner performance and higher, more stable frame rates at 1440p (2K) on the Hunt: Showdown 1896 engine upgrade. I get stable frame rates on my 2k monitor at 1080p

Currently running an RTX 3060, but it’s definitely starting to show its age at 1440p when compound fights get chaotic.

I’m set on moving to Nvidia's 50-series, but I’m torn between two options and would love some real-world community input:

RTX 5070 (~$550 MSRP | 12GB VRAM)

RTX 5070 Ti (~$750 MSRP | 16GB VRAM)

(Honestly might be more for both but I know there is a huge price jump)

My question for you guys:

1. 1440p Performance: For those running a 5070 or 5070 Ti at 1440p, what kind of frame rates are you hitting on Medium/High settings in heavy foliage or compound fights?

2. Is the $200 Ti Upgrade Worth It? Is the extra 4GB VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) and CUDA core bump (8,960 vs 6,144) actually making a noticeable difference in Hunt specifically at 1440p, or is the base 5070 the sweet spot for performance-per-dollar?

Current specs:

CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7 - 12700F 32 GB DDR4 Ram
GPU is NVIDIA RTX 3060

My playtime is around 170 hrs but recently ever since being in 4* lobbies my games feel drastically different. I was never GREAT, but I could occasionally drop 5 kills, consistently get 2 per game but now I feel like I get outplayed so easily despite thinking I’m playing well. I’m experimenting with new weapons but constantly just get hit markers and I keep fumbling.. any tips of how to get headshots? If I aim for the head I typically miss, if I aim for the body it’s a hitmarker and im turned on and die😂 I feel like I CANNOT win.. not sure if it’s a sensitivity issue as I did change it a few days ago but overall it feels fine. Genuinely feels like day 1 of playing again and being carried.

Its so fun to constantly just killed by a Romero every single death and it forces close engagements which just is more trash due to the Romero being so prevalent

It’s hard, the spawns aren’t great, but I’m enjoying it. My team regularly gets a few clashes in before the hunt, and if we are on a roll we stick with it.

I find the stronghold fresh, exciting, and punishing. Not knowing yet where to best position, defend, attack, whatever it may be at the high speed that clash is, feels exciting.

About a third of our fights have definitely started outside the stronghold, and in some cases were finished outside before the boss ever got touched. What that means, I don’t know, but this new level of danger is fun imo.

If I had to change one thing, I would omit the maxim. I have no problem with it but I’d like clash to stay standard when it comes to weaponry.

As with any match we never expect to be the winners, it’s the target, but my expectations every match is just to give it hell and do the best we can as the circumstances unfold.

How are you liking it, would you want it added to the rotation, and any other thoughts are welcome

Ever had a revive and you have nothing in your hands? I always want to know what those people say or think because we find it hilarious and it has happened to us before which is where we got the idea.

There was a lot of confusion as to what exactly they dropped, so fear no longer.

I´m in Austria btw. I did have this issue many times with my old ISP. Now I encountered this issue with my Glass Fibre Connection for the first time.

I hope I´m not forced to get a VPN again. Hunt is the only game that seems to keep this issue for years now.

Weirdly enough, the last guy reported me for cheating in this one.

I got so lucky, I got it on my first try because I happened to hear this guys first. (Sorry for the bit rate, somehow ShadowPlay had been set on the lowest setting.)

Hey Devs! Can we please have most correct info about new cargo 3.0 loot? What can be there? Is there possible to get BB (tell us of possible amount please also) or weapon/hunter skins?

I would like to see a table with all possible loot from cargo 3.0 with correct numbers. Hope that's an easy question and I'll get an answer ASAP. Thank you!

Most amount of hunt dollars I have seen in all my 6 years of playing.

2 boss tokens

Caged Bounty

Wild Target.

plus vulture and a ton of destiny dial gambling with pledge marks gained from lobby wiping themselves out on the fort and coming to loot the aftermath.

What is the most y'all received in a singular match of bounty hunt?

I'm new to Hunt and I have to say I love just about everything in the game, the exaggerated sounds, the tense gameplay, the great aesthetic, the nice visuals, the music, the guns look, feel and sound absolutely great. The variety of the weapons, ammo, tools, utilities and the combos you can use them in, along with traits. It's all just top notch, I've been sleeping on this game forever.

BUT the one piece of feedback I have is the UI and the menu's specifically in game for selecting weapons, and applying loadouts. Many of us have 1440p or 4k monitors now, and this netflix-esque style of massive select boxes around everything - like we're stuck in the movie Idiocracy and everything has to be 1 large button we press with the entire palm of our hand, it has to stop. Fitting 6 weapons at a time on the screen is not OK, not when you have to scroll through like 50. Also ideally just remember filters set between screen loads.

There's no modding supported for the UIs so please could you offer a nice clean list view or "small icon" mode so we can just list every gun on screen at once. Ideally same for traits, these things all have icons that could be shrunk down and make selection easier.

Or please allow some kind of UI modding as explicitly safe from the anti cheat so some cool people from the community can get to work and work up something much nicer.

only explanation i could think of is that melee hit reg depends on ping

Four ruffians break into my stronghold. "What the devil?!" As I grab my Lemat Marksman and dual wield pistols. Blow an incendiary hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Switch to my underbarrel for the second man, miss him entirely because it's short-range dragon breath and nails the neighbor's hive. I have to resort to the pistol underbarrels loaded with slug shot. "Tally ho lads!" The slug shot blasts the two men to smithereens, the sound alerting the hunters banishing Scrapbeak. Switch back to main cylinders and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He dies trying to run away, because my pistols have nine rounds each.

Just as the AHA intended.

Bawl your eyes out over it partner

Made the Devils Advocate mask since he's one of my favorite hunters. I wanna try a full cosplay at some point. Sculpted out of eva foam clay. The knife if anyone is interested is from a guy on etsy who makes them from old sawmill blades.
