[Spoilers] Hunters Past

[Lag]

The Hunters past is ridiculously easy compared to all the other bosses in the game. I even think it's easier than bullet-king and trigger twins. You can just stand in a corner and shoot.

Why are the pasts so unbalanced, the marines past is more than 3x as hard.
Also I want to hear you guys opinions, rank the easiest pasts.

Easy: All pasts.

Hard: None.

I can't even make it TO finish the pasts. The Dragon is a very rough fight.

i actually think its on purpose. the pasts are hilariously easy compared to the rest of the gungeon. in fact almost all of the past would be floor 1, maybe floor 2 boss fights. i feel like its on purpose because after the hard fight there killing the dragun they made it easier to make sure you kill the past. and i guess to be able to defeat them using only starting weapons

the secret 6 floor is the true next level in difficulty progression

The Dragun have such ridiculous amount of health that you just might be out of ammo on your best guns when you meet your past.

You don't carry your supplies into the past. Every character gets changed to a pre-set loadout for their past.

The pasts are so easy because they're exactly that: the past. They're the failed pasts that the gungeoneers were too weak to handle before, but after they got strong enough to take on the Gungeon, they could go back and succeed where they had once been defeated. The fact that you start off every past by using a blank (iirc) is evidence of that. I don't remember most of the pasts' endings, but I remember pretty clearly that the villain in the Hunter's past is baffled when you use a blank because they didn't exist, and after you beat Pilot's past and his partner asks where you got your skills, Pilot responds with "Another time" (aka the Gungeon)

The developers probably just wanted to give the player some gratification after going through all the trouble of getting up to that point.

I honestly had a little bit of trouble with the pilots, but he was my first past so idk if it was before i had truly beaten the learning curve, all other pasts I've done in one go, except for the bullet's it took two because I was being stupid af and didn't realize that the sword couldn't slice bullets, I thought I was timing it pitifully

but other than that the other pasts are stupid easy, they feel like a floor two or three boss at best and the hunters in particular because of the sticky crossbow, it feels like it was way to strong for the boss and i could completely ignore the scientist and focus on him and still do relatively good damage
