worthless perks

[Dookie Cough]

why is dew claw or poison sense still a thing? why is there clutter perkwise. i dont think ive seen anybody use tomahawk or poison sense let alone have it drop and they go "oh i want that". why not just remove dumb worthless perks like that?

I don't use them ether, but just cause I don't use them doesn't mean they are useless. In fact I can see how Poison sense can be pretty broken with the right set up.

Never seen people use Tomahawk.
I love the idea, but the execution is bad.
Why cant it be applied to your own melee weapons too?
Make my own axe or hammer throwable. And allow me to pick up any axe or hammer on the map and use it as a main slot weapon.

So basically i can equip and throw any melee weapon in the game with it.
Would be fun and actually viable to a degree.

Just because you don't think they're useful doesn't mean it is useless. Neenoh quite often plays with tomahawk trait and gets some funny clips and moments with that trait. Sure it's not as great as having doctor or other traits, but that's the reason why it's so cheap: you can get it if you have 1 or 2 points left and it theroetically could make the difference if you throw a shovel and somebody gets hit by it.

Sure most people just run and gun, but it can be quite fun to challenge yourself sometimes to use other traits and loadouts. Dewclaw is actually pretty strong in close combat since you can one hit them with the melee animation.

Poison sense is something I usually don't know since I don't play with poison on my weapons, but I picked it up once from meathead and saw in the next compound that somebody got poisoned by a hive, so I knew people were ahead of me. Was actually quite nice, but I wouldn't pick it myself.

So you can either use the traits and play around them, or don't use them but then be silent. Because not all people share your view on these traits.

It doesnt matter whether there are uses for it.
What matters is whether these perks are good enough to be picked.
I suppose Crytek have exact data on the pick rate and i would assume there are traits that are rarely picked.
Rarely means less than a fraction of a percent.
If you have a few perkpoints left, you dont pick anything.
Sure you can use stuff like Tomahawk to troll around, which i do occasionally too.
Yet that kind of means it IS useless in terms of overall comparison.

Especially the fact that you cant carry axes with you to throw makes it bad.
See, Gatorlegs also just costs 3 points but its insanely valuable.
If Tomahawk applied to equipped melee weapons, it would be cool and useful.
Still niche, but useful.

Those perks have nettled me and my team multiple kills or saved our lives... tell me poison sense is useless when you are wallbanged or dew claw is pointless when you get stabbed in the face... tomahawk is the only one that isn't too good but you know what? ... it's fun... is fun allowed in your world at all?

Everyone is (or at least should be) using dew claw rn, it seems like every other fight i get into in hunt there's a bow or crossbow, if not both.

All the perks make for fun loadouts and strategies. The sparks + beetle poison sense loadout was fun. Tomahawk is always fun just for grunts and chucking stuff at your teammates. Idk about dewclaw, the perk itself IS useful, but idk why it's not the standard melee. No one really uses perks like those anymore, but they were added for a reason once upon a time and if you don't want to use them, then just don't. What they need to add is trait loadouts that automatically or retroactively add traits as your hunter levels. For example you could have a loadout that automatically adds doctor + lightfoot + etc +etc as your hunter levels... OR, if you already have trait points just select the loadout and have them all apply. Idk. They aren't going to remove content for no reason, alter it MAYBE....

Is dew claw bad? I've been using it to replace knife whenever I use a bow. 1 trait points for a tool slot.

No. It's good at doing exactly what you're saying you use it for. He just has a really specific playstyle (sitting in a bush with a sniper 400 yards away) and can not imagine ever doing anything else, so he thinks all the traits in the game suck.

Even if people don't use them often I would rather have the variety and options anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing some of them buffed though, given additional usefulness or whatever.

Same with certain items like the spyglass...

Spyglass is good, it's just not typically nearly as good as other things that go in that slot like medkits, throwing knives, derringers, melees, decoy fuses, and blankfire decoys. I think it would be cool if the spyglass was basekit with its own bind, like a 5th tool.
