hunter vs gunslinger

[Henlooo]

dunno guys but i feel like hunter players are so much better than gunslinger players. iver never seen gunslinger clutch anything, so much more dynamic with hunter. what about you?

[Newbie4life!!!]

Most likely because people who play hunter mode have played the game longer. Before, the game didn't give you the option to have gunslinger and hunter mode. So veteran players got used to using hunter mode while newer players are probably opting to use gunslinger because that is what they're used to with other FPS games.

Mechanics wise, they are pretty equal, if anything gunslinger probably has the advantage as long as you know when to "unshoulder" your weapon (against walls, in bushed, windows, etc). Yea hunter mode has higher FoV but you can change the slider so it's a very small advantage as opposed to not having to press an extra button to aimdown sight and shoot.

For me I like the way Hunter is. It's make more mechanic in game play, more vision, and can hide the gun when you sneak in the long grass.

It really doesn't matter, purely preference.

100% true though nowadays.
Gunslinger used to be objectively worse, but since they adjusted things it is all purely preference.

Most of them are using it have been using it for a long time, and are probably just more experienced in general. They are used to it so are unlikely to change it at this point.

However due to the several changes to gunslinger there is no longer any real advantages to either, it's just preference now.

It used to matter somewhat, but that is no longer the case.

The actual settings are personal preference, but long time players tend to use hunter because that used to the the only setting. Could explain why they tend to be better.

I used hunter for like 400 hours then switched to gunslinger... its just preference... Sometimes in hunter mode I would accidentally stand up from a crouch while trying to shoulder/unshoulder the gun.

Also in gunslinger I can fire instantly from a sprint which is nice in close quarters.

Other than that there's no difference... you can still raise/lower the gun... you can still melee with anything..

nah broskies gunslinger player just awful bad,i watched too many gunslingers to be proven wrong

[Henlooo]

They are in every way slower in every aspect of the game than to hunters.

[Hwa-chang]

Hunter mode is useless old relic since you can just set shoulder fov normal and hold weapon toggle key with thumb button to lower gun.

The popular one, now.

There isn't any real difference anymore like there used to be; but a lot of the people who kept using it from the time when it did matter have played a lot longer.

personally gunslinger is objectivly better. its a rare situation that hunter provides a direct advantage in a fight (only situations where lowing a gun may help really)

the simple fact is most people use gunslinger because its basic fps controls

The reason hunter Used to be better is because you couldnt disable things with gunslinger like zoom on holsterd weapon and weapon peaking through walls if too close

but now you can disable that annoying FOV effect and you can just hold quick swap to lower the weapon whenever you need it (which is far and few between)

it really is just a matter of preference now but i see no reason anyone should bother with hunter these days

the most likely reason they look better is only because they are most likely an OG player (where the choice actually mattered)

Used hunter back in the day before and after gunslinger came out. Quit for a bit when I got into tarkov and when I came back found myself enjoying gunslinger more when they updated it to let you tuck your gun in.

What made hunter so good for a long time was the fact your gun wasn't poking through doors, walls and windows causing someone to wall bang you because you weren't aware your rifle was clipping a whole foot through structures. That was the only real advantage to hunter over gunslinger. Since that update it's all preference.
