Would love to mate. Hoping internet connection can hold as its hampered me doing really anything this week.

Started to make some progress with a few of these ideas but I've been hampered by my internet being nuked since last week which is frustrating to say the least. Hopefully it'll be back up at some point this week and I can give more meaningful updates for all of you.

Hi Ryan @GhostProteus ! Great games the other night on Destiny, considering it was your first time with some of the crew it was like you've been here for ages 😎 Have you been exclusive to Destiny or do you play other games on the Playstation or other platforms? Hope you enjoy your stay at FG dude 👍

I think @Riff Machine has it as well as @Jason . Glad you guys are enjoying it, the death combos that you can create look ridiculously awesome.

A great start on last night with our very first group up, even better to hear the sultry, sexy voice of Tommy @BO7H B4RRELS ! Been far too long dude. @phil bottle, Tommy, @Diddums and myself (making you proud their, Dayvide 😜) rocked up into the SepticFalcon server to start our lives and made our way to Elektro to group up. After dying once from a horde of Zombie and running non-stop for 47 miles, I met Tommy and Didds in the Fire Station where a group of Zombies took a liking to Didds' footsteps too much and before we knew it we had a whole horde running after us! And they don't just run, they Usain Bolt it straight after everyone for miles. Didds managed to breakaway from the pack to safety but the one person that was kitted out to the max with the all the arsenal you need in a dog fight was Tommy...and he got surrounded by Zombie after Zombie in his Firefighter jacket, gas mask and 7 guns although he could only fire his Shotgun a few times before he was they destroyed him. I managed to get to a nearby house and shut the door, to eventually go get all of Tommy's stuff - thanks for being so caring dude 😎 and we all decided to get out to push North where Philly was chilling, smoking a Hamlet around the nearest village Water Pump. By that point i'd bled that much from the Zombies my screen was lack and white for most of the night, and then Didds ended up the same after another fight broke out. Blood is seriously annoying as it doesn't regen fast, so I think we need some Blood Bags ASAP. A few house searches and a trip to nearby towns - whilst i get lost (twice) - got us us some half decent weapons but by the time we logged off we likely needed a little more food before settling on a base to make our own. Didds was starving for some Baked Beans. Tommy passed out from all the heroics of running so far and bleeding out 😁 but managed to save it before he passed for the 73rd time. A huge map and lots to explore, here's hoping the next adventures including making a base camp and finding a hospital to get all the Blood Bags you could possibly need for daily blood transfusions from the sharp nails these Zombies have. I wish their mum would've told them to cut them regularly. GGFG guys.

FG Friday just gone was seriously awesome lolz everyone. I needed it muchly after my internet has been hit by a nuke so I was tethered to my phone internet enjoying the Packet Loss like some others for a change 😎 @Dan94 was utterly ridiculous. Like, ridiculously ridiculous. Not many could stop him all night as he clearly has been at the gym making all the (Packet) gains 💪😂 Tom @LordBaguette was on fine form with his well timed crap jokes. We'll let him off for winng one or two games cos of that. "PlumberDave, *bum, bum*, we're going to, Plumber Dave" 🤣🤣 'Poor' Rich @tronic44 😂 propping up the leaderboard most of the night, mainly cos of knife setbacks. Then again, @phil bottle seemed all too happy to place himself on the end of my knife all night, Cockney savage. @Laidback Lankyman Mike kept saying he was playing for last place whilst pulling out killstreaks here and there that didn't go unnoticed. @Greboth setting the setback to 3 for most of the night on Gun Game was his greatest achievement to date. Never seen him so frustrated coming 2nd and 3rd so much. Hilarious. Nice one for taking over the host mantle though buddy 😘 I think Paul @slamminbones will forever be my nemesis in whatever game I come up on. At least unlike Dan, I can knife him back a few times. I spent a few hundred miles just tracking Dan down to knife the fucker to stop him from winning. Nick grabbing a fantastic win near the end of the night on One in the Chamber but we couldn't let him enjoy it for long, as it must've been the Packet loss everywhere. @crispymorgan and @Ajay making an appearance was refreshing to see. I think we've all missed Crispy's utter moodiness and anger when its blatantly not his fault that he came about 6th. Just wonderful bliss hearing that all over again. 🥰 And finally @Diddums graced us with his presence late in the night and surprised us all by not going for a fag and a shit until the 4th continuous game. Shame @Stretch616 had an issue with his PS4 accepting discs otherwise he could've joined on the ultimate banter. Still nice to hear his frustrated voice though. Thanks to Elliott @Middle Class Caveman for sorting the earlier games before his kid decided to have an accident of all accidents 💩 GGFG all!! On to the next one! @Ajay @ChaosGladiator @crispymorgan @Diddums @Dan94 @Greboth @Laidback Lankyman @Middle Class Caveman @phil bottle @Plumbers Crack @slamminbones @Bluebear @LordBaguette @tronic44

Can't believe we've finally completed a Prestige Leviathan! Intense last boss which you have to have patience for to get the rhythm down on what you have to because of the constant teleporting but so so sweet and wortrh it when you nail him in the end! 4 of us finally compleetd the Quest for the Acrius Shotgun and Justin and myself even got the Acrius catalyst to drop. Theres masses of top loot with high Armour scores so well worth doing if any others are on the fence about it. I'll get a video up shortly although 4 of you guys need to sort your voice sharing out on PS4! Absolute top effort @Riff Machine @FallenDark200 @GhostProteus @reaper-2201 @Teenwolf25 , especially with Ryan (Ghost) being a new FGer and absolutley nailing it! This was also after the same crew with @Forty6_N_two minus myself, nailed Crown of Sorrow Raid just before Forty had to get to work so such a good job. If we can keep getting some raid teams together to get the newer raids down too, more people can get on and learn the newer raids aswell Prestige runs. GGFG all!

Event Title: Garden of Salvation Raid Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Destiny Calendar Event Date: 07/19/2020 08:00 PM Raid time for 6 FGers to get a Garden run down. RSVP on the event so we know who is down for the run. Garden of Salvation Raid N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Would love to @Dan94 but its very likely i'd be utter shite at it. I mean, look at how this guy does his kills. Insane 🙀 I'd be struggling to get the sword to be near their face.

And Happy Birthday to new boy George! @G_dub52 !! Have a great day doing 'real' camping fella 😎🍺

Happy birthday Elliott! Hope you enjoy a day full of Packets!! @Middle Class Caveman ❤️😎

Well lets face it, Coronavirus has pretty much pushed back every game so far so you'd hope this is the case, but this is Destiny and it'll always have bugs here and there. I'm disappointed but ain't shocked I mean, for them to make the current season in lockdown on time was impressive. Just a shame we have to wait a few months. I'm really hoping they can release something in Sept or Oct.

Full detail below: We have made the decision to move the release of Destiny 2: Beyond Light to November 10. As the first chapter in a new trilogy of expansions, Beyond Light is the beginning of a new era of Destiny 2. We have a powerful story to tell and incredible new features that we're really excited for players to experience. As always, our goal is to make the coolest, most entertaining expansion we can possibly make for our fans. To that end, we are doing what’s best for the game and moving the launch date. The past few months have been a challenge and will continue to be during this pandemic. We’ve learned to create together in a new way, by having to work apart from one another. Despite these hurdles, we’re still committed to the same level of quality that our fans expect. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be unveiling more of what we’re working on for Beyond Light and what that also means for Season of Arrivals, which will now extend to November 10. Beyond Light sets the stage for an incredible future in Destiny 2 and, though it’s coming later than we originally anticipated, we’re excited to continue that journey with you this November.

Totally with the 2 week cycle. It might mean we struggle to catch you two as you'll be able to put more laps in but it'll give me and George time to at least participate. Hopefully when life calms down abit we can get back to weekly stuff. Here's hoping more should get involved too because at the very least GT Sport is cheap enough and worthwhile picking up if you like any sort of cars/racing.

1.41 Update is now live for Consoles. PC went live a few weeks ago. Big bits in here is the brand new trial PvE mode and Dual Wielding is live! Full Details below: HIGHLIGHTS Dual Wielding – Double the gun, double the fun. This Update brings the long-awaited Dual Wielding feature, available when using two identical handguns. Trials Mode – You have asked, and we listened! We are happy to introduce the first iteration of our PVE mode – Trials! Explore the maps, complete difficult challenges, and collect Trial Stars for exclusive rewards. New Legendaries – The update brings three shiny new Legendaries as well as two other exclusively unlockable with the Trials Mode! Dual WieldingDual Wielding Handguns is a new and exciting feature in Hunt:Showdown, allowing players to equip and use two handguns at the same time. All available handguns that can be used for dual-wielding: Pair of Nagant M1895 Pair of Nagant M1895 Silencer Pair of Caldwell Conversion Pistol Pair of Caldwell Conversion Chain Pistol Pair of Caldwell Conversion Uppercut Pair of Caldwell Pax Pair of Caldwell Pax Claw Pair of Bornheim No.3 Pair of Bornheim No.3 Extended Pair of Nagant M1895 Officer Pair of Nagant M1895 Officer Brawler Pair of Lemat Mark II Pair of Dolch 96 Equipping Every Handgun can be equipped for dual-wield as a "matched pair". A second handgun of the same type can now be added to the same weapon slot. The slot will convert to medium size when the second pistol is equipped. It is possible to mix normal and Legendary versions of the same type as matched pairs. Dual Wielding is available from Rank 1 and does not require any unlocks via Traits. Equipped weapon pairs can not be broken up while playing; you are committed to use them as pairs until extraction. When looting a dead Hunter, you can pick up their dual-wield sets just like you would any other medium-sized weapons. Shooting Weapons have to be fired in sequence one after the other. The rhythm is dictated by the shooter, allowing players to experiment. Hunters can either go for a steady, constant fire-rate or try faster two-taps with longer breaks in-between shots. Recoil is increased over single-handed handguns, making it harder to stay on target (esp. with more powerful handguns). Effective rate of fire is increased, but still lower than the rapid burst from a single-action revolver using fanning. Aiming Aiming Down Sights (ADS) will only apply a slight zoom, with the guns moving a bit closer to the center of the screen. Weapon Sights are not used at all, reducing range drastically over other weapons. Dual-wielding accuracy only benefits minimally from crouching (just like with Fanning and Levering Traits). Reloading Weapons are reloaded at the same time in sequence, one bullet at a time. Extra ammo pools are added up. New Trait added: Ambidextrous Available for 3 Upgrade points Available at Bloodline Rank 44 "Quicker reloading of matched pairs, and custom clip reloads for semi-auto pistol sets." Developer Note: With this update, we are finally releasing a feature that we had on our roadmap for quite some time! Dual-Wielding aka Akimbo. It's a major upgrade for all handguns, allowing them to be used in a completely new way. So far, players could choose to fire them conventionally - or by unlocking the Fanning trait - as rapid-fire single-action revolvers from the hip. A third option now becomes available by choosing to equip not one, but two into one slot. Where shooting a handgun normally is best for precision, and using fanning or rapid-firing a semi-automatic pistol gives a short burst of impressive firepower up-close, dual-wielding sits somewhere in the middle between them: Not as precise and not as fast, but with double the ammo capacity, perfect for suppressing fire or taking on hordes. Now, why would players want to equip a matched dual pair of handguns? We think there are a number of different appealing scenarios here. Firstly, the option is available from Rank 1 on and doesn't require any traits. You just have to combine it with another medium slot weapon, like a sawn-off shotgun or rifle. This makes a pair of dual-wield Nagant M1895 the strongest rapid-fire option for new players right out of the box. Secondly, it gives players impressive firepower to deal with mobs and to take part in prolonged fire-fights. Having double the extra ammo capacity means you can keep on firing for a longer time while keeping the enemy away from that window or that corner, allowing your team to take the initiative and move around more freely. While accuracy is much reduced, even only hitting the 3rd or 4th shot still hurt, and those lucky headshots are still a very real possibility. Lastly, when assaulting a strongpoint, such as a boss arena, dual-wielded handguns are much more flexible compared to Fanning as they reach out to more than double the average effective combat range, allowing you to fight along corridors or inside larger rooms where Fanning shots would prove less effective. Dual-wielding brings a new component to Hunt's gameplay. Some will love it for its coolness factor, others will find it 'disgusting' as it goes against the long bullet meta of the "perfect shot". We hope that there is something in it for everybody, and that it opens up room for new battle tactics, easier combat against monsters as a backup (those Hellhound's won't be laughing when you bring 12 instead of 6 shots of your favorite revolver), as well as more intense shootouts with medium-sized inventory kits. There are a lot of options to explore and we are eager to hear your opinions on it! Trials Mode (PvE)Trials is a new singleplayer game mode aimed at new Hunters and veterans alike, allowing to explore the world of Hunt:Showdown and complete different types of special assignments. What can I do in Trials? Explore the world freely without any enemies and get a feeling for Lawson Delta and Stillwater Bayou. Move around at will or teleport directly to any compound. Ever wanted to try out that risky jump? Now you can without the fear of losing your Hunter! Complete Trial challenges along the way to learn about interesting weapons, enemies and locations. There are a total of 15 trials players can discover and master. Parkour Trials challenge your movement skills and take you along interesting paths. Sniper Trials let you practice your aim in ranged combat. Wave Trials require you to deal with groups of enemies with a variety of equipment. All Trials can also be teleported to directly without the need of walking around the world. Unlock exclusive rewards by collecting stars for completing Trials. There are a total of 45 stars to be earned (3 per Trial). Reaching a certain amount of stars unlock interesting rewards such as Hunt Dollars, Blood Bonds and advanced gear. Dedicated Hunters can also try to unlock two Exclusive Legendary weapons. Parkour Trials "Flat-Out for Flatboats" - Lockbay Docks - Try not to get shredded by Concertina Armoreds, while racing from checkpoint to checkpoint before time runs out. "Riding the Line" - Devant Ranch - Race against the clock while taking down Hives with your crossbow. Don't get poisoned! "A Cursory Investigation" - Pitching Crematorium - Navigate the underground maze and beat the clock, avoiding bear traps and Immolators on your way! "Nightly Apparation" - Port Reeker - Charge through tight corridors and wooden walkways, be wary of the sharp teeth lurking in the dark corners!

"Cut Firwoord" - Reynard Mill & Lumber - Make use of your Mosin-Nagant M1891 Sniper and keep those Immolators from burning it all down! Wave Trials "A Corpse for a Corpse" - Slaughterhouse - Hunt down Meatheads with your rapid-fire lever-action Winfield, while fending off hordes of Grunts! "Fall Where They May" - Catfish Grove - Always keeping stock of your ammunition, mow down hordes of Hives and Grunts with your Avtomat machinegun! "A Futile Undertaking" - Stillwater Bend - Avoiding packs of Hellhounds, bring down the scattered Immolators with your carbine and pistol!

Exclusive Rewards: Unlock Legendary Specter 1882 Bayonet "Tartufai" when reaching 20 Trial Stars Unlock Lengedary Nagant M1895 Officer Carbine "The Cordwainer" when reaching 45 Trial Stars ***Developer Note:***It can be hard for new players to learn the lay of the land and all the little secrets of the Bayou with the constant pressure of encountering other players. Trials aim to give them a chance to practice before venturing on into the Bayou and competing with other Hunters. Without this pressure, players can now spend more time preparing for real encounters, making it easier to move on to Bounty Hunt when they feel ready, equipped with map knowledge, basic combat skills and a good understanding of the horrors that await them. In addition, veterans can hone their skills and show that they really mastered the game with a perfect score of earned Stars and access to the exclusive Legendary weapons to brag with.With Trials, we are finally adding a PvE component to the game that has been missing for a long time. It's a new pillar of Hunt:Showdown that can attract new players, who are less focused on fighting others, but rather enjoy the game and its setting in different ways offline. We plan on expanding the Trials experience with future updates, adding more challenges and additional exclusive rewards for players to unlock. The first batch of Trials have been around Stillwater Bayou. The next batch will be focused on the second map, Lawson Delta. Please tell us what you like, what you are missing, and in what direction you would like to see the new game-mode Trials grow!

Good news is they've reviewed their first Twitch drops run and offering extra rewards, Billy being one of them, depending on how many hours you watched. Full details from Crytek below: Hunt Twitch Drops Post Mortem Hunters, Since the conclusion of the Twitch Drops campaign, many of you have been very vocal, and have given us a lot of feedback. We took the time to look into all the feedback you provided, and today we have some answers for you about how we will address it. Our first Twitch Drops campaign has been a great learning experience for us, and we want to address the things that we could've done better: - Legendary rewards were too hard to earn. You invested a lot of time, and we want to reward the time you invested in turn! - Some users had issues linking their account. We received a large influx of tickets from users who had problems linking their accounts during the event. Due to the volume of tickets, we weren't able to get everyone connected before the event was over. - Notifications for rewards earned didn't always show correctly. We will be correcting this technical issue for our next Twitch Drop - The FAQ could have been clearer. We want to make it up to you. So we've decided on the following compensation: If you watched… You will receive… ≥ 1 hour 1 Legendary item or tool* ≥ 10 hours The above, plus an additional Legendary item or tool* ≥ 20 hours The above, plus 1 an additional Legendary item or tool* ≥ 30 hours The above, plus Legendary Hunter Billy Story** Compensation will be distributed to all qualifying players with Update 1.4.2. If, after we send out compensation, you are still missing any of the Twitch Drop Legendary skins -- or if you missed the event completely -- we can assure you that we will provide ways to earn all of them during our next Twitch Drops campaign!! We will share more exact information about the following event and how to earn rewards when we get closer to it. - Hunt Team *We will ensure that this will be something you do not already own. It will be selected randomly from the pool of things you do not already own. **If you already own Billy Story, you will receive another Legendary item or tool from the Twitch Drop reward pool (that you do not already own). If you already have all of the Twitch Drop rewards, well, congratulations, you are officially a Hunt Twitch Drop Completionist.
