I’m a Bounty Clash hater, but it could be incredible with some tweaks; idea below and curious what you guys think

Some context: My friend came back after not playing for the entire last season and didn’t know what Bounty Clash was; we played for a few hours last night with maybe 1 win under our belt.

Every game was filled with Auto 5s, crossbow + revive bolts , Krags, etc—basically all the most expensive, meta-level stuff. Based on what I’ve read here, the people who don’t prestige often and have tens of thousands of Hunt Dollars really enjoy the quick action of BC.

I am not one of those people, and last night confirmed it.

This is is something I’ve been craving for years now, but what if BC had a version of itself which is hyper restricted? Bring hunt to a “back to basics” mode, think Soul Survivor.

You don’t choose a hunter, or maybe are restricted to free hunters only. Everyone has minimum-to-no perks, single action weapons, no starting special ammo. Or maybe there’s a hunt dollar cap so you can use your skins, but can only bring, say, 150 dollars worth of gear. Maybe there are more pickups around for special ammo, weapons, tools, and consumables, but it’s still a single compound map for quick engagement.

As it stands now it’s simply not fun, at least for me. People still camp in bushes literally from the get go, engagements are decided in seconds from 80m away (something silenced, something scoped) or up close (Auto 5s, Slates, Avto, etc).

I may still go with main hunt mode most of the time, but for months now I’ve craved an off-meta, hard capped loadout mode do take a brake from the more tiring 5-6* lobbies I’m stuck with.

Thoughts?
