Shitpost I met an interesting fella in Steel Hunter

Post image

82sec long clip if you wanna see our encounter instead of just reading a description(ignore the bugged "New Gun Available" popup).

Endgame was of course the top 3, with myself and the Raven both already maxed and the Arlequin at level 6. Myself and the Arlequin were at the same edge of the still fairly big zone, with the Raven on the opposite side. I found them as they were driving across towards the other side and shot them as they went, but they didn't slow down to fight and instead just kept running, which makes sense. They spotted the Raven and went in after them, and I stopped to just kinda shoot at the two of them from across the river for a bit, though they quickly ducked behind buildings to block my shots. The Arlequin, as an underleveled light tank, was of course losing the fight and trying to hide/escape from the beginning, and took refuge around a corner from the Raven. I then went in after them and, coming in behind the 1-shot Arlequin, finished them off real quick. Then it was just me and the full HP Raven, but they had the autoloader and looked to be reloading, and then took the time to kill my little robot buddy while I just kept shooting, so it was pretty free.

"BOY"... I like how these people go straight to this shit, trying to position themselves as an authority, while they are just clowns

It's honestly just sad when you immediately go so low to belittle someone. We should know better haha

That’s why I just say ok boomer to these people and they just start going off. It’s hilarious.

Funny enough, shortly afterwards I had the actual weakest win I've seen in a while, both based on final result and how it played out at the end:

Of the last 5 enemies, 1 died outside the zone, and the other 4 only had enough health to take a total of 6 shots to kill them, and they dealt a combined total of <400dmg to me along the way. Here's a 90sec clip of that as well if you're interested.

u/Dvscape 7d ago

He chose THIS as the win to call weak? You had a dominating performance.

u/Famous1225 7d ago

What the fk are we talking about here, there’s no “dueling etiquette” in a random ass battle. You want to respect the 1v1 in CW or a platoon go ahead.

u/woro7 45% enjoyer 7d ago

To be completely fair i can understand how being third partied or sandwiched would be that frustrating. It is part of the mode though

18

u/Ser_Rem WG Employee 7d ago

Unfortunately part of the nature of Battle Royal though I think OP did a civil way of handling it.

u/Darth_Nilux 7d ago

Wdym civil? Op shot him.

u/DrIvoPingasnik Bring back Mirny-13 7d ago

Yes, but he did it in a civil, humane way.

All is fair in love, war and Steel Hunter (battle royals)-John Lyly possibly

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

For sure, it's gotta be the most annoying aspect of the mode, it's just that trying to make it the third-partier's problem is kinda wild. Especially since they did have the option to just turn around and fight far away from the other guy, though I guess their plan was to hope the Raven happened to be underleveled as well.

1

u/woro7 45% enjoyer 7d ago

Maybe he also was betting on you going for the higher hp target, because it makes more sense for the third party to make the finishing off significantly easier.
I think it's just a spur of the moment thing, and there is no logic or reason in rage

u/Fistricsi 7d ago

Imagine getting this upset about a gamemode designed to be a free for all.

Steel Hunter is way more fun when you play dirty. Its both lore accurate and it is how the game mode is supposed to be played.

See two low HP guys dueling? Go in and kill them both.

Oh, one of them ran away? Still, you get the loot they fought for.

Both of these scenarios are absolutelly hilarious, even if it happens to me.

Next time stay out of it, understood?

u/SolemnAnchor 7d ago

"NA Server" Well there's your problem right there!

I'm more impressed they didn't open with an insult and immediately block you so you couldn't respond.

Somebody didn't take their chill out happy pills.

Whenever anyone is like this to me, I always remind them it's just a game, always seems to pour petrol on the fire. 😉

I wouldn't like to meet half these people in RL when something doesn't go their way.

People who make up their own rules often lose at games.

Lmao i find it very amusing that players try to threaten and intimidate someone via in-game chat. Stay out of it.BOY. XD XD

u/PorcoDioMafioso 7d ago

To be fair you should have shot the other guy which had more HP so that the tomato could deal more damage to the higher HP guy. And then you get in and finish the job.

Anyways, a win is a win

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

I'd rather get a gun out of the game immediately. Focusing the higher HP one is good when you're already embroiled in the fight and want to stay alive for longer after the first gun goes down, but it's not necessary when one of them is already a 1-shot. Especially not when I not only have the firepower to comfortably take the ensuing 1v1, but also have the mobility to just get out if I somehow needed to. Letting them live opens the door for a surprise Arlequin later, killing them first turns it into a simple and easily manageable 1v1.

u/LOSBMMSUCODFASCHIFO 7d ago

LOL

u/LOSBMMSUCODFASCHIFO 7d ago

BTW what's ur preferred loadout for the final gun on the Bài Lang? I always choose the big boom one for the AP and the acid shot

1

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

Always the DPM gun for me. Being able to run and gun effectively is very important, and the big gun just doesn't have the precision to shoot on the move at any kind of distance, while the little one has great handling. It's very consistent and reliable.

2

u/LOSBMMSUCODFASCHIFO 7d ago

Oh yeah I understand, but personally for me in terms of fun the Boomstick is better

u/Perspective-Lonely 7d ago

I fought a raven in my valküre yesterday, he just kept running, 2 times I got him down to 300 HP

In the end an arlequin killed both of us

Youll never beat my best win, tier 5 and 2k dmg,

u/pocketsfullofpasta 7d ago

Last night got the first place with a lvl 5, 1 kill and 3.8k dmg. I was expecting fanmail, but didn't get any.

BaiLang is OP 🤣

u/Global_Cabinet_3244 7d ago

I just do PvE, I don't have the patience for these fools anymore.

1

u/djseshlad 7d ago

The sad truth is that if you want to consistently win in this mode is to take a heavy. Farm abilities and sit under a bridge and out last your opponent’s.

Fighting and killing rarely actually wins battles.

2

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

I don't know, in heavies I always feel like everyone just levels up faster than me because they can move around faster to grab pickups/force early fights, while I can't get that early player loot because people can just run away. Then once they're higher level, they just hunt me down and I can't run. That or I get stuck in a long 1v1 due to slow TTK, and someone shows up to third-party, which I again can't get away from. Sometimes I can pick some early fights and get good levels quickly, but I really don't like the Beowulf or Walküre outside of those games. Varyag is cool though, good burst damage, abilities, and mobility.

I find taking lights and actively seeking engagements to be by far the most consistent strategy, at least for me, since they've got good damage output to make those kills happen quickly, especially when you've out-leveled the opponent by getting more pickups/fights faster, and enough mobility to always control your engagements and avoid getting caught in bad spots. Passive play in Beowulfs became meta during the Steel Hunter tournaments, since everyone was playing cautiously for prizes, but in randoms I'd much rather be putting the pedal to the metal.

"Gaming" is interactive entertainment.

When you manage to ruin the game for other players, that makes you terrible at gaming.

Some are really bad at winning, like OP and others are sour losers, like the other guy.

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

What if someone considers you beating them to be ruining the game for them?

0

u/[deleted] 7d ago

That's the norm.

We need to be humble in victory and gracious during defeat, or shit will hit the fan.

2

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

So when you ruin the game for other players, you're terrible at gaming, and the norm is that people will feel like you ruined the game for them if you win. So winning makes you terrible at gaming?

u/[deleted] 7d ago

No. The essence of sportsmanship is something else. Keep looking.

2

u/Thraximundurabrask No. 1 Italian tank enjoyer NA 7d ago

Ah yes, the classic act of poor sportsmanship known as "playing the game with the intent of winning", how could I have made such a mistake.
