Clutch Commander
I'm doing pretty good. How are you?
00:01:06
john hewitt
i ah I'm okay. Yeah. yeah work Work sucks. I'm like i'm like like a goddamn Blink-182 song. Work sucks. Everybody knows, but I'm here to talk Hunt.
00:01:20
john hewitt
How's your week been going?
00:01:22
Clutch Commander
My week's been alright. little Little addicted Borderlands than I thought I would be.
00:01:30
john hewitt
I picked it up... last night, yesterday, and yeah, it's rock solid. it I didn't think I'd like it as much as I am.
00:01:42
Clutch Commander
same i was after the last one i was nervous and i'm i'm pleasantly happy with everything that's that's been going on with the game
00:01:56
john hewitt
Which I liked. the The sad thing is I liked the last one.
00:02:00
Clutch Commander
i did not like
00:02:00
john hewitt
Like the the the loot system I thought was go home, but I was like, I liked the interaction. i liked planet jumping. liked, you know, the wedding for Sir Hammerlock. I like the twins.
00:02:16
john hewitt
Like I kind of liked, I mean, I like that all of our characters from games one and game two kind of like grew up into these these these like leaders of this resistance instead of just being like, you know, never mentioned again.
00:02:30
Clutch Commander
and i Look, I liked a lot of it. the The main villain just didn't... I liked what their
Video Game Villains and Comparisons
00:02:40
Clutch Commander
idea was.
00:02:41
john hewitt
You didn't like the twin you didn't like the the the ah ah little chick?
00:02:42
Clutch Commander
No. I did not like the twins at all. I liked what they tried to do by getting all the... the Rippers together and, you know, all that in making the children of the vault.
00:02:57
john hewitt
Yeah, making their own death cult.
00:02:59
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:03:00
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:03:00
Clutch Commander
I liked that. I just. They just didn't. If somebody else would have done it. I would have probably liked it a little bit better. But also they were coming from.
00:03:13
Clutch Commander
One of the best villains in video game.
00:03:16
john hewitt
Yeah. You can't top, you can't top a handsome Jack.
00:03:17
Clutch Commander
So.
00:03:20
Clutch Commander
So it may have just been that. I was expecting another handsome Jack. And I will never get that. But.
Gameplay Experiences: Hunt Showdown and Borderlands
00:03:28
Clutch Commander
I don't know. They just... Something about it just didn't...
00:03:30
john hewitt
The timekeeper has his own lane to the timekeeper for in this game. Like i don't like him and I don't like him just because he's just a straight shit bag. Like Handsome Jack.
00:03:42
john hewitt
I was always kind of like, dude, I don't I don't.
00:03:43
Clutch Commander
He had levels. had layers.
00:03:45
john hewitt
Yeah, I don't like you, but I like you. And the timekeeper, I'm just like, dude, you just got to go like you got to get what's coming to you. You're just a fucking dickhead.
00:03:57
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:03:58
john hewitt
like Every time he takes possession of somebody or like one of his minions, the the one guy that keeps showing up on the map talking to you through a giant face, like like though I'm just like, what a boob.
00:04:09
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:04:12
john hewitt
like Dude, you've got an ass kicking coming. What a boob.
00:04:16
Clutch Commander
Yeah. So I won't say much about this game. But last game I liked what the twins tried to do. I just felt they were trying to be too... They tried to be too young and hip with it.
00:04:31
Clutch Commander
Instead of...
00:04:31
john hewitt
yeah Yeah, they were very much YouTube ah they they were very much youtube influencers.
00:04:33
Clutch Commander
know. Yeah.
00:04:36
Clutch Commander
Yeah. And I didn't, you know, I got the metaphor there. I didn't need it.
00:04:42
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:04:43
Clutch Commander
I like my game with, you know, being a game world and not, hey, this is this guy in the game.
00:04:48
john hewitt
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:51
john hewitt
Yeah, no I mean, yeah, makes sense to me. I like the new weapon companies that we get in this one, and it's ah it's it's surprising. It's very surprising.
00:05:03
john hewitt
Before we get off of this, so what class did you pick to to start with?
00:05:08
Clutch Commander
I picked Harlow, the Gravitron.
00:05:13
john hewitt
Okay, I picked the Siren.
00:05:15
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:05:17
john hewitt
I picked the one ability where she can create doubles of herself.
00:05:23
Clutch Commander
Yep.
00:05:24
john hewitt
So you can make like one that's got like a Grim Reaper thing and then you can make one that can shoot but doesn't move. And you can make at this point I can make up to three of them one time.
00:05:34
john hewitt
So I just spam like three Reapers and I just i run away. Yeah,
00:05:41
Clutch Commander
Nothing wrong with that. That's what you need to do early on.
00:05:44
john hewitt
yeah that's I mean, that's what my guys are there for.
00:05:49
john hewitt
But yeah, it was a real toss up. I was either buying this or I was going to I thought Ghost of Yo-Kai, is that what it is? Ghost of Ghost of Tsushima 2. I thought it was out already and it's not it's out and it's not. It's out for like another week or something. So.
00:06:06
Clutch Commander
The second, yeah.
00:06:07
john hewitt
Yeah, well, i figured I'll pick this up now. I'll play this and I'll pick up Ghost. I'm probably going to wait for Legends to drop. We don't get Legends on that until like the start of the year.
00:06:20
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:06:21
john hewitt
it's I thought it was at drop, but they said it's going to launch probably like the start of the year.
00:06:27
Clutch Commander
Huh. Okay.
00:06:30
john hewitt
I'm cool with it. I mean, I'm pumped.
00:06:31
Clutch Commander
Yeah, no, I'm... Dude, the last multiplayer was...
00:06:32
john hewitt
Ghost 2...
00:06:36
Clutch Commander
For a free game, it put...
00:06:39
john hewitt
Solid.
00:06:39
Clutch Commander
Came out at the right time to make a lot of other games look like shit
00:06:42
john hewitt
And it was
Combat Systems in Modern Games
00:06:44
john hewitt
good. Like the fucking, the combat in that game alone was so disgusting that I was like, like, The combat in that game is what Jedi survivor wishes it could be as far as like parrying, deflecting, stealth.
00:07:00
john hewitt
Like you just you felt like the baddest dude in the room. And then the minute that multiplayer happened, you're like, oh, there's a reason we're not all Jinn Sakai. That we're these mythical these mythical warriors, because like we're just beating ass wave after wave.
00:07:16
Clutch Commander
Yeah. We have.
00:07:18
john hewitt
Enough about fun shit that we we want to ah play we hope comes out. We're going to hit this thing right here. and
00:07:30
john hewitt
Gameplay, we've been having some bangers.
00:07:33
Clutch Commander
we have
00:07:35
john hewitt
We got clips all ah all up on all on Instagram. Waiting for the players pod on Instagram. All one word. Come on by. Interact.
00:07:46
john hewitt
Bullshit. Shoot me a DM. I always get back to you. I have no problem talking to people.
00:07:54
john hewitt
and Now you've got me fucked because you brought up the children of the vault and I am a sucker for a cult.
00:08:00
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:08:01
john hewitt
I'm very susceptible to cult mentality.
00:08:02
Clutch Commander
I mean, technically, we're we're playing Hunt where you are more or less part of a cult.
00:08:09
john hewitt
Kind of.
00:08:09
Clutch Commander
Fighting evil.
00:08:11
john hewitt
Yeah, kind of. Or in our case, perpetrating evil.
00:08:14
Clutch Commander
Yeah, or cop.
00:08:16
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:08:16
Clutch Commander
Stopping both.
00:08:18
john hewitt
Because we have been i think the one day we specifically just kept third partying people at the boss layer, we would slip in while the fight was going on.
00:08:31
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:08:32
john hewitt
there was more than a couple instances that we went in dropped a couple bodies and died, but we had a we had a couple ah rock solid games
In-depth Hunt Showdown Strategies
00:08:41
john hewitt
last week. I think we were all playing, you had this weird boner for a Berthier with a scope.
00:08:48
Clutch Commander
Yeah. It was one of the quests.
00:08:52
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:08:52
Clutch Commander
I had to do headshots with the... I didn't do headshots with a rifle. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to get better with scopes. And do you know what I learned?
00:09:05
Clutch Commander
Every time I play with the scope, they rush.
00:09:05
john hewitt
You can get better.
00:09:09
john hewitt
Yeah. It kind of makes you want to quartermaster just so you can have something else of substance where it's like if they rush, you got a Romero or something under your coat to just let him have it.
00:09:20
Clutch Commander
Yeah. Yeah, it was not a good time.
00:09:25
john hewitt
Yeah. No, i've I've been playing...
00:09:28
Clutch Commander
Thank you.
00:09:29
john hewitt
I've been doing some memes. I've been doing a lot of like one long weapon, one melee weapon. I did play a couple solo runs with my American Gladiator loadout, which is just a med kit and a bomb lance tribute to the giant fucking ear wax thing that they would fight with on American Gladiators.
00:09:56
john hewitt
That didn't go well. So was a bunch of money down the tube.
00:09:58
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:10:03
john hewitt
But yeah, I i don't know. I feel like feel like we had some we had some solid games and it didn't feel like like usually leading up to the event. It feels less populated than normal.
00:10:14
john hewitt
And on this East Coast server, we seem to have a lot of dudes.
00:10:19
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:10:21
john hewitt
Or at least enough for a full map every time.
00:10:25
Clutch Commander
Generally, yeah. Then there's a lot of times where it's quiet and then we get to the ball slayer and there's bodies everywhere we're like did anybody hear a gunshot or am I the crazy one here yeah
00:10:34
john hewitt
yeah yeah the disca Yeah, did these guys just all have a Brazilian knife fight here in the fucking butcher, in the boss lair, in the butcher lair?
00:10:45
john hewitt
They're all just those little guys from John Wick 3 just knife fighting each other in a glass house?
00:10:51
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:10:53
john hewitt
Uh, seeing that gameplay is kind of what we are here to get into. We'll hit this bad boy. his name is John Cena!
New Event Mechanics and Impact
00:11:07
john hewitt
Uh, event time. You haven't played much of it.
00:11:10
Clutch Commander
I have not...
00:11:10
john hewitt
At all, right? You haven't played any of it at all.
00:11:12
Clutch Commander
I haven't played any of it yet. I've seen some play... Some gameplay of it.
00:11:15
john hewitt
Yeah. I've played a little bit.
00:11:18
Clutch Commander
Okay. What did you think of it?
00:11:20
john hewitt
and i I don't even need to say anything. Everything they do, I think. I mean, as far as like nerfing weapons, I could care less.
00:11:28
Clutch Commander
Yeah, i'm not I'm not talking about that.
00:11:29
john hewitt
But.
00:11:29
Clutch Commander
What about the spiders?
00:11:30
john hewitt
But.
00:11:30
Clutch Commander
How are the new facehuggers? How do they treat you?
00:11:33
john hewitt
They are terrifying. Because they're very squishy, but they're very fast.
00:11:37
Clutch Commander
Okay. Okay.
00:11:40
john hewitt
And they have ah ah like a jump attack, like a dog how the dog will lunge at you.
00:11:44
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:11:44
john hewitt
But because they're so small and so fast, they're very easy to miss. And they come when they spawn out of the egg. They spawn one to two out of the eggs. And the eggs are anywhere where there's like an overhang. So it's like under watchtowers and stuff, you might find a couple eggs.
00:12:02
john hewitt
But if you go to the the spider, like the nest...
00:12:06
Clutch Commander
Uh-huh.
00:12:07
john hewitt
Basically the witch's garden of this event.
00:12:09
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:12:10
john hewitt
They are fucking rolling deep. They are everywhere. You walk in and they percolate and they sprout. And then you have to fight them all. Like if you want to get to the fucking shit, if you want to get to the tarot cards, if you want to get to the medic, like the med kit to restore your bars, you have to fight through waves of these fucking things.
00:12:33
john hewitt
Sound off in the comments. I don't know if Beast Face will save you from these or not.
00:12:38
john hewitt
I haven't wanted to try it, but I will say the spiders, very fun. i I like them. I think they're very fun. The spider nest, I think, is it's confusing in the best way, where when they start popping off and you're trying to kill the spiders, there's so many of them, and they spit poison to where it's easy to get disoriented, and like it gets it gets you in the chest with that hunt, like claustrophobia and panic.
00:13:11
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:13:12
john hewitt
And after a minute, you're like, I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out here regroup.
00:13:17
Clutch Commander
So they're like a bunch of baby spiders.
00:13:20
john hewitt
Yes.
00:13:21
Clutch Commander
That's awful. Well, that's exactly what they are, but that's their AI.
00:13:24
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:13:25
Clutch Commander
That's crazy.
00:13:25
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah. they're and They're very squishy. Like, if you shoot the... the look They're like a little... It looks like alien. Like, it looks like an alien egg.
00:13:34
Clutch Commander
Uh-huh.
00:13:34
john hewitt
If you shoot the egg sac... it'll eliminate the threat altogether. The problem is like, sometimes you don't see it. And sometimes when you go into the, the spider like layer, they're in places you can't see when you walk in. So like you'll, you'll rip a couple of shots because you're like, Oh, I see three up ahead. I don't want to hit those.
00:13:56
john hewitt
So you shoot them and then you walk in and immediately there's been like two above your head the whole time. And then you're like, well, fuck. So then you're in the middle of fighting these ones, and in your panic, you manage to pop three more. So now there's four more spiders on you in addition to the three that are already on you.
00:14:15
john hewitt
And it just it gets it goes from bad to worse. I found that the thing that I found worked was i took a flame hand crossbow.
00:14:26
john hewitt
And I would just fucking light fire.
00:14:27
Clutch Commander
Test control it.
00:14:29
john hewitt
i I would make a controlled burn of that bitch until I could get to what I wanted to.
00:14:33
Clutch Commander
her
00:14:34
john hewitt
Because they also give us new weapons in this event.
00:14:38
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:14:38
john hewitt
they They give us a a Caldwell. They call it a Caldwell homestead.
00:14:46
Clutch Commander
Uh-huh.
00:14:47
john hewitt
It's basically the double barrel with a very long barrel. It's like if you took two Romeros and duct taped them together.
00:14:55
Clutch Commander
Really?
00:14:56
john hewitt
It's fucking awesome. You can only get it. It's that one. And then they also give you a similar thing where it is a centennial, but it's bigger, like the barrels bigger and it has a swift loading tube.
00:15:13
john hewitt
So it's a centennial swift, basically, that holds a fuck ton, like a lot of fucking rounds.
00:15:13
Clutch Commander
Okay. Huh.
00:15:18
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:15:18
john hewitt
Those two are only available out of the boss layer. Or out of the out of the spider.
00:15:24
Clutch Commander
The spider layer.
00:15:26
john hewitt
Yeah, the spider hut.
00:15:27
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:15:29
john hewitt
You go in there and there's always like the little shit laid out where it's like, here's a couple burn traits you can pick up for for event points. Here's your thing to get your bars back.
Tarot Cards and Strategic Implications
00:15:39
john hewitt
Here's this. Four shot boon. And then on the floor, there's usually a ah ah big like weapons kind of like crate, like a long crate. And it's a three point thing.
00:15:52
john hewitt
When I did it, it didn't tell me what was in the crate. It just told me to unlock the thing. I needed three points. I don't know if it's a random thing or if I was just scrambling because of the spiders, but i managed to get the the homestead. I managed to get the rival, the big double barrel.
00:16:08
john hewitt
But it it's it's a fuck it's an it's a good idea to make these things only accessible through spider layer.
00:16:08
Clutch Commander
Right?
00:16:17
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:16:19
john hewitt
I mean, you'll you'll see when we finally get you in there.
00:16:20
Clutch Commander
Right?
00:16:22
john hewitt
It's just one of those things where it's like for years we've been saying have map-specific weapons. They're only available on the map.
00:16:31
Clutch Commander
and Yeah.
00:16:32
john hewitt
And now that we have it with these two, it's just like, holy shit. like this I don't know why you haven't – why isn't the nitro bent over somebody's fireplace in a cabin in the woods somewhere?
00:16:44
Clutch Commander
okay
00:16:46
john hewitt
Like, it's just... it's just it's a It's a really good, like... It's a good fucking plan on their end.
00:16:55
Clutch Commander
all right and then what about the tarot cards have you gotten a few of those
00:16:59
john hewitt
The tarot cards...
00:17:02
john hewitt
are a mixed bag. Because while they can be cool, there's always a backlash. Like, there's one where The one that I've mainly picked up is the chariot one where there's the spider den and then there's usually an extract near the spider den.
00:17:26
john hewitt
But it's locked. You can't use it unless you have this tarot card, in which case, and it works another way because that one is locked.
00:17:39
john hewitt
The other ones on the edge of the map are normal. I'm locked. If you have the tarot card and like the bounty is hauling ass to one of the edge of the maps, you hold up the tarot card because it's a consumable.
00:17:52
john hewitt
You burn it. It gets rid of one of your health chunks. But now the edge of the map is locked out and you have to come back to the fucking spider hut to use that extract.
00:18:05
Clutch Commander
Oh, so the chariot locks all extracts but that one?
00:18:09
john hewitt
it It flips them. so normally all extracts are open except for one that's locked. Use the chariot. It flips it. All them are locked except for the one that's now open.
00:18:21
john hewitt
And it burns one of your health traits. Or like there's one where there's one where it like burns all AI like in your field of view if you're being swarmed by like zombies or something.
00:18:36
Clutch Commander
OK.
00:18:37
john hewitt
It'll burn them. you catch fire. There's one where I think it gives you the location of the bounty of the bounty holder, but it gives you their location and it drops you down to one hit point.
Game Updates and Community Feedback
00:18:55
john hewitt
Like, like there it's, it's a real, it's a real give and take thing. Yeah, the the Sun card grants you an increased regeneration buff for 60 seconds.
00:19:01
Clutch Commander
OK.
00:19:05
john hewitt
That's solid. Judgment doubles all of your current buffs. It doubles your buffs, but reduces you to one HP.
00:19:14
Clutch Commander
okay yeah
00:19:15
john hewitt
So like if you're if you're running a four-shot boon, hit the judgment card. Now all of a sudden, all those buffs, they've doubled. But as long as you got a regeneration shot or something coming, you're, or, you know, hopefully you don't get fucking drilled at that moment.
00:19:30
john hewitt
You got the magician places, a dark site decoy at your location, but gives a dark site decoy, but you're bleeding heavily.
00:19:37
Clutch Commander
oh
00:19:44
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:19:44
john hewitt
So like, Yeah, a lot of them are fun, but they come at a cost or they come at like a backlash.
00:19:50
Clutch Commander
not against that, though. I mean, that's a good idea. Just like if they do, if they you know, after this, they eventually do like a bounty only extract.
00:20:02
Clutch Commander
Like if you have the bounty, you have to go to one.
00:20:02
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:20:05
Clutch Commander
it it picks one of the three extracts and that's the extract you have to go to.
00:20:10
john hewitt
I mean, I like that, but I also like that now, because these are also consumables. You just pick them up and take them with you. You don't have to use them that game.
00:20:19
Clutch Commander
Mmm. Mmm.
00:20:20
john hewitt
So, like, you can pick up a chariot card, and then if you are playing a game like we've all played, where you're in a fucking slobber knocker at the boss lair, and you look at the map, and the bounty carriers have left and are hightailing it to an extract,
00:20:38
john hewitt
It's a cherry card. They're going to come right back to you. And not only are they going to have to come back to you, they're going to have to come back. You know exactly where they're going because that extract is marked right next to the fucking spider den.
00:20:54
john hewitt
So it's like it kind of evens the playing field. Not in a sense of like evens it where you're i I don't know. It just feels like square where it's like, no, if you're going sneak out, sneak out. But don't lollygag. You lollygag. I'm going to reel you in like a fucking bass.
00:21:12
Clutch Commander
Yeah, but there have been plenty of games where three you know three teams are fighting at the Ballslayer and the Bounty team sneaks off while these three are all fucking killing each other and they're like, where the fuck did they go?
00:21:25
john hewitt
Exactly.
00:21:25
Clutch Commander
Who let them leave?
00:21:27
john hewitt
Yeah. So now it could be just as easy as three teams are fighting. They slip out and then one team, it it goes from three teams fighting to two teams fighting. And that third team just fucking pops a chariot card and is like, no, we're going to go wait at that fucking, and we're going to go wait at that fucking extract.
00:21:46
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:21:47
john hewitt
Or we're going to meet you in the middle.
00:21:49
Clutch Commander
And now everybody's waiting there and they've all stopped because you ran away.
00:21:52
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah, they've all done Sarah Connor reload with one arm into a fucking Spectre because you decided to be a craven pebble pot son of a bitch and slip out the side hatch.
00:22:06
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I'm not.
00:22:07
Clutch Commander
You see some of these I'm glad I'm I'm glad they're trying with these events to do just random things.
00:22:08
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:22:13
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:22:15
Clutch Commander
Like, hey, who has a crazy idea for game mode? Well, what if we did this?
00:22:19
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:22:20
Clutch Commander
Cool. Put it in an event. How do people like it? They really like it. All right. How can we not necessarily put this in, but put it in?
00:22:30
john hewitt
Yeah. Like, I feel like this was the result of like one weird party over the summer where they were like, yeah, Justin's wife brought terror cars to the cookout. And then some guys like, what if we put those in the game?
00:22:43
john hewitt
How wild would that be?
00:22:45
Clutch Commander
yeah yeah
00:22:46
john hewitt
But it's the tarot cards, solid edition. The Centennial, i love I love the idea of a Centennial Swift. Medium ammo, Swift reload, big dumbass fucking rifle.
00:22:59
john hewitt
Get out of town, man.
00:23:01
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:23:01
john hewitt
Goddamn Caldwell with two, like, I've always loved the size of a drilling, but I wish that we had a double barrel that had the big dumb farmer barrels instead of the chopped down coach rifle that the Caldwell is.
00:23:17
Clutch Commander
Yeah, you wanted that but rival length.
00:23:21
john hewitt
Yeah. Well, no, I wanted I wanted a rival, but drill.
00:23:22
Clutch Commander
yeah Yeah. Not rival, Romero length, sorry.
00:23:24
john hewitt
it Yeah.
00:23:25
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:23:25
john hewitt
And and like the minute that I got it, like and I'm looking at it on the screen, I was like, this feels right. And like it gives you because it's longer, it gives you the range. So like, I'm just fucking ripping.
00:23:36
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:23:37
john hewitt
the I'm ripping zombies as I'm going to the extract. And I was like, this just feels good.
00:23:44
Clutch Commander
You're like, i see why you don't have this in the game normally. i would murder so many people.
00:23:50
john hewitt
I feel like they're going to have to, like after the event, like add it to your purchasable. Like it'll have to be like a purchasable fucking like you use your Romero, you're here's your rival.
00:24:03
john hewitt
Here's your little chop down short sawed off. And then here's the, you know, the homestead. Here's your trauma. Here's your regular centennial. Here's your centennial.
00:24:15
john hewitt
It's got another it's got another fun fucking name.
00:24:18
Clutch Commander
yeah No, I say why not have some guns that you gotta be the last man standing to get.
00:24:25
john hewitt
Yeah. I mean, Christ, that the buzzsaw thing, it didn't last as long as we thought because they buffed it. they deb Now I'm going back on my words. They debuffed it. Nobody liked it.
00:24:36
john hewitt
But the minute that they updated it and they did kind of kill it a little bit, people stopped fucking with it.
00:24:41
Clutch Commander
I mean, it was busted.
00:24:42
john hewitt
was busted.
00:24:44
Clutch Commander
I can't blame.
00:24:45
john hewitt
it was busted
00:24:46
Clutch Commander
was broken.
00:24:47
john hewitt
But for those first few weeks, you'd be in the middle of a firefight and you would just hear come right past your face and you started like your butt clenched. Because all of a sudden you're like, there's somebody that actually went and bought that piece of shit from the goddamn Post Malone market.
00:25:04
john hewitt
Like somebody went and took that thing.
00:25:04
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:25:06
john hewitt
and you knew the heat was on.
00:25:09
Clutch Commander
Yeah. I mean, why not have like a tent or or so or a camp or something where there's one of these weapons and, you know, the buzzsaw, the, you know, the two new ones and why not have the cost of it be, you have to have the bounty to get it.
00:25:25
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:25:29
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:25:31
Clutch Commander
If you have a bounty, you can pick this gun up.
00:25:31
john hewitt
yeah
00:25:34
john hewitt
I have, I think it's a genius idea what they've done. Cause I mean, the, the event, the ladder of the event You're getting a bunch of skins, which are fun. You got a bunch of hunter skins. you get like the spider chick.
00:25:49
john hewitt
You get this one chick that kind of looks like Marshall Brewer, but like derpy is the first one you unlock. the chi The old lady Marshall.
00:25:58
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:26:00
john hewitt
You unlock her early. She looks kind of derpy. But then there's also like the spider queen that we've seen in the trailer where it's like the
00:26:06
Clutch Commander
Yeah, i saw that. That looks sick.
00:26:09
john hewitt
dope as fuck, but then like all the weapon skins are like, there's a bunch of Vetterly skins. I fucking love a Vetterly.
00:26:15
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:26:16
john hewitt
It's about goddamn time we got some Vetterly skins.
00:26:20
john hewitt
Long and short, you'll find out when you play it. I'm telling you right now, this thing will run for... i They usually run about two months.
00:26:30
Clutch Commander
but anywhere from three weeks to nine.
00:26:32
john hewitt
Yeah, I don't... I don't have it booted up in front of me, but I've already like the limited amount of time i've already played in it. This one's a fucking 10 out of 10. They knocked it out of the park with this event.
00:26:44
john hewitt
I'm having a great time. Spiders creep me the fuck out. The spiders den. I want to get in there and fight another team in the spiders den because I think that is going to be fucking nonsense.
00:26:58
Clutch Commander
I have seen fights take place outside of the den. Where it...
00:27:03
john hewitt
It's very cramped inside. it's It's cramped enough that like you could probably get in a fight inside, but it's also cramped enough where like, oh, this would be so fucked.
00:27:05
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:27:11
john hewitt
I really want to see somebody throw down in here.
00:27:15
Clutch Commander

00:27:18
john hewitt

00:27:23
john hewitt

00:27:28
Clutch Commander
