Economy is ruined

[HotSauce]

Lately, the economy in Hunt is completely ruined. Everyone is running mosins, avtomats, quartermaster with mosin/shotgun slug. I can't remember if I've seen anyone playing a budget loadout since this update happened.

Money played an important role in managing and deciding what and how to play. Now, everyone is running like a braindead chicken with the most expensive loadouts and there's no punishment for dying as you can more than easily buy them again next match. Hell, you don't even need to buy them if you get a free hunter with Label/shotgun/frag nade and doctor/quartermaster.

This is a terrible addition to the game and the cheap weapons are no longer being played.

The new recruits do seem way overtuned, it's almost not worth buying legendary skins any more. The amount of T3 recruits I see with a mosin/lebel and the full kit with perks only costing 600 is too high.

But broke Noobs should be able to afford the best meta weapons every match.

There's nothing to fix. Unless you are min-maxxing, most rifles and pistols are completely usable. All two-shot to the torso within their effective range, which is similar in weapons of the same type.
I've knifed guys carrying Avtos and other expensive stuff. The cheapest pistol can still kill anyone carrying anything.
Eventually people with hundreds of thousands will settle with the loadout they enjoy the most, which does not necessarily mean they will drop with an Avto every round. I have over half a million dollars and I drop with Heavy Crossbow and a small knife, because it brings me the most fun. If I have to use a rifle I prefer the Springfield over, let's say, the Sparks, because of how it looks and sounds. Im sure some pedantic min-maxxer is crying after reading that, lols.

This is not Tarkov where farming and gear turn people into unkillable machines to take on if you are not carrying the best kit.

True, I forgot everyone deserves everything. Participation medals for everyone!

Why everyone whines so much?

For me it is like a good dish. I pick the weapons I want to enjoy the game with.

It can be a crown auto one game, but the shotty is actually garbage in comparison to old Romero or the two-barelled God.

There is no best or worst weapon. There is a good situation for the weapon and there is a bad situation,

[Neurotic Panda]

people whining about others people money and how they should be spending it or what they should be allowed to do with it.

tell me you're a socialist w/o telling me you're a socialist..

boohoo i don't have the money saved up other people have.., so nerf their money.

They could probably remove 'Extraction Shooter' from the games description - Who needs to extract when you are able to buy a top tier loadout every game.

Would love to see the Hunt Economy return to the old standard, with some basic loadout protection if you are in a money hole (below 1000 hunt dollars). Want to keep people able to roll into each game with capability, but not enough money that they are not afraid to just suicide with their top tier gear.

Most likely economy review is on the cards again seeing as they asked everyone in the last survey.

Last time I played. I had a teammate in Randoms. We server wiped and he said GG to me and the other random said he's not waiting around to kill and banish, stand back.

He then deliberately blew himself up with a dynamite.

Weird idea but it has no effect on his KD, he can buy another hunter and load out and be back PvPing before we killed and fully banished a boss

It's being addressed in the latest patch

[Eldritch Panda]

I don't know about anyone else here but I mainly run hunting bow w/ poison and have a blast wiping people in full server team fights. Lately everyone just runs sniper and waits for you to wipe just to kill you after you wipe everyone else but that's mostly a sniper issue - which they still won't address

[Rat Molester]

I see what you say but how it was beforehand made me quit. I want to play Hunt to have fun, not want to tear my hair out because I'm bankrupt from running Katanas and doing a Samurai LARP for the 30th time as I run at a three man. Or actually being able to use the weapons I like to use without being forced to use Romeros and Winfields 24/7.

I think rarer weapons like Avots, Dolch's & Nitros shouldn't be in the random pool but basic Bolt-Actions and Decent Mid-Tier weapons should and traits should be basic-mid tier (Like Levering, Fanning, Steady Aim, Bulletgrubber and so on)

I don't want to go back to how it was, it was agony not being allowed to have a few meme games without bankrupting yourself. Especially when you constant prestige like me.

I don't think anyone complained about that? We're saying the opposite, things are too cheap.
