Transcript (by Youtube)


0s go into the stalker beater
3s alright so like the stock a bit is
5s something new that we've been cooking up
7s and we're kind of hinting at uh in some
10s of the past streams some of the past
11s messages we've been giving out over the
12s last half year
14s um it's like a new Tactical option for
16s the player like something for for like
18s um scouting harassing creating
20s diversions and breaking stalemates and
24s it fits kind of right in with all the
25s other stuff that we already have given
26s to this the player's toolbox kinda in a
28s way like the options that they have so
31s um yeah as I said without further Ado
32s maybe let's let's give Chris a chance to
34s kind of like show what the story Beatles
36s all about and what him and the like the
38s team have been cooking up there because
39s it's amazing
41s absolutely super happy to finally reveal
45s this because um it's a completely new
47s thing for hunt and
50s um it will touch a lot of areas that
52s suddenly people have will have new
54s things to learn in uh and and remember
59s and you remember to take care of new
61s things new angles to watch out for and
64s so on this is why we are super excited
66s about this one so just briefly yes it is
70s a player controlled playing entity thing
73s it's an insect in the lore of hunt
76s um that you connect and connect
80s um to Via your dark Powers right your
84s dark side
86s um it is consumable as you can read on
90s on the screen here so you can buy it in
92s the store but you can also find it in
94s the world
95s the Cocoon that is mentioned here is a
99s new possibility for you to retrieve it
102s in the world we won't go into too much
104s detail uh we want you to explore it and
108s and find them and experience it
111s firsthand but uh it it's hard to miss so
115s have fun with that one and I think we
117s will jump right into the technical video
119s right because we could we could talk
121s about this for hours
123s which we won't do we'll just show a
126s couple of videos and then uh let you
129s explore it when the test server hits
131s soon definitely so we are back to our
133s favorite dev Tower and let's take a look
137s at one day we will destroy it
141s but this one is kind of new because you
143s can see the other side of the color
146s because after you activate it it's a
149s controllable thing right you can turn
151s around and you can see yourself who's
153s gonna who's been harassing the tower
157s and this is an important part we can
160s mention because I mean we're showing it
162s you can reuse it if you're careful with
166s it and you don't lose it and there's
167s various ways of losing it
170s you can pick it up again
174s take another loop
175s [Applause]
177s and you can see it's permanently in in
179s dark side so it has abilities it has
184s um it has certain functions we want you
188s to
189s to utilize right but it also has a lot
192s of constraints attached to it
195s and we also have some pictures of it so
197s you guys can see it up close
199s I see that the chattis thing is very
201s cute so
202s I mean we could be fair like
204s specifically when you have it in first
206s person your hands right like it as a
208s little Beetle looks into your vein
214s we got feedback from both sides I also
217s think it's cute but not necessarily
218s everyone agrees
220s I think it's cute uh well let's see what
222s else it can do then
226s yeah so we we teased this in the other
229s video where it says you you can actually
231s explode it this is not the main purpose
235s um of the stalker Beetle it deals very
238s minor damage and effects this is meant
241s to
242s uh enable you to have some sort of an
245s effect on your environment this showed
246s in in early play tests already where we
249s just want to be able to maybe open a
252s window shutter or maybe deal damage to a
256s cranked handle right and close that door
258s that that should be closed
261s um
262s because it enables me to uh to run my
266s tactics however want right
269s um and another important thing that we
271s should mention because it will surprise
274s a couple of people it triggers all the
277s warnings like if it's close to a clue
280s with another player the clue will also
282s turn red it's considered in the
284s extension of the hunter that is
286s controlling it whatever that means
288s systemically and that is for you to find
291s out and this is just a little hint
293s right and uh yeah let's look at our
296s longer video after this to see how it
298s actually looks in game and how it works
301s and you can talk us through the
303s yeah I will try to talk as little as
305s possible because maybe in the first one
308s and then on the second yeah
333s foreign
352s [Music]
366s foreign
374s together just to give a brief overview
378s what does it mean for it to be in
380s consumable
382s um what is roughly the view distance and
385s the range you can use it in right and
388s um we won't as said we won't go into
391s much more detail what we will cover is
393s for example you can already tell
395s Vigilant is running on that thing right
398s Hunter has vigilant drawn the soccer
402s Beetle also has vigilant
404s it might be a good idea on when the test
407s server drops to look at all the dark
409s side related traits and read the
411s descriptions not all of them will work
413s but some of them
416s right now obvious the chat already
418s spotted that you can ping videos about
421s your people as well
423s this is something we thought was also
425s the kind of important to travel because
427s we want random teams to kind of play
430s with the soccer field and enjoy that
432s it's something we also keep on
434s monitoring
436s sort of like all the mechanics it has
438s all the things so this is a bit
440s basically something that we're gonna
441s investigate closely have you guys had a
443s have a go at it playing with it a little
445s bit and then we also might tame it a
446s little bit more in there depending on
448s the feedback
449s uh and we do have another video as well
452s from the third person view just so
454s people can see from the outside as well
456s and first we won't talk so you can
457s listen to it
488s yes I'm turning the volume down and uh
491s feel free to talk Chris again
493s yeah
494s um we just wanted to show it how it
496s looks from the outside perspective I
499s mean
501s um so you get a feel for what's the size
503s what's the volume volume is roughly I
507s mean we will tweak this according to
510s player feedback obviously but we're
511s pretty confident about what we will
514s release uh yesterday it's
518s the the goal is that it's audible in to
521s similar ranges
522s um as hunters for example if Hunter if
525s you can hear Hunter's printing you most
528s likely also hear the stalker Beetle uh
530s rushing towards you or away from you
533s because as you could see in the in the
535s video It's rather fragile so you
539s wouldn't have much of a problem actually
542s uh disabling it there's also various
546s ways of disabling it or killing it and I
549s make a distinction here but we won't go
551s into detail because Hunter's a Sandbox
554s game right and this consumable is a new
558s well I want to say tool but it landed So
561s consumable In Your Arsenal that you can
563s use to
566s enable yourself
569s like whenever you face a challenge in
572s Hunt
573s you should have
575s the potential and the means to overcome
578s that challenge right
580s um and this is just another step we're
582s taking of making uh
585s making players just more
588s um
590s uh give them more abilities more options
593s more things they can they can actually
596s work with in either direction
599s right then that's pretty much it yeah
602s yeah that's fine I think it's very good
604s to mention to please uh play the test
606s servers especially for this one because
608s uh there's so many different use cases
610s so many different tactics you can uh do
613s with the stalker b-roll that the uh you
615s should try it out first and give us your
617s feedback based on that and it's also
619s very fun to play around with it and
621s obviously also follow us on socials to
623s get all the details about it because
625s there's actually a lot of details uh a
628s lot of other information that you will
631s have to find out about this cute little
633s Beetle still so please keep an eye out
636s for that
638s I'm really happy I'll just how this
641s whole feature has turned out um so we
642s don't know like a lot of play testing
644s with the stalker Beetle also with like
645s some of the some of the people from the
647s community so thanks again to our our
649s play test group
651s um including some of the streamers some
653s of the other people
654s um I think that would be a very good
657s thing to try and test serve all of you
658s guys so join us whenever the test server
661s goes online we'll have more information
662s about it soon
664s and it is really exciting and as part of
667s a Sandbox right it has so many different
669s options and variables so we can't wait
671s really until you guys go and re-explore
673s the details of it
