This is annoying

[Gyro458]

The one thing that annoys me in Multiplayer is the fact that I see my pursuer, I know that he's coming, but there is nothing I can do without giving my position away to my target. I don't use smokebombs or anything like that. I can't stun him because they always hit X before I can make contact. So, anyone know what to do, without using abilities or not being stealthy?

Just focus on killing your target before he/she gets to you.

I don't know why you wouldn't use the abilities that are there for you... but without them that would be my only advice.

And hey, with the new patch they won't be able to kill you until your kill animation is completely finished, so you may have time for an escape.

You can still stun your pursuer without using abilities, you just have to be quick about it, I've done it a few times in some of my YouTube vidsso it's not impossible. Other than that I'd say try to keep your distance or try finding blend groups with more than one persona like you so that it makes it harder to guess. But then again if they're using TV then you'll have to run to avoid getting killed or hope they get killed first.

Just curious tho, why not take advantage of the abilities?

It's because I only use a Hunting build (TV, Gun) and I don't want to change it.

Yeah, I have to agree here. You need to be able to adapt in this game to be able to win. I personally haven't tried using a pure-hunting/offensive build as I've always been better at playing defense. My advice would be not to just limiting yourself to TV/Hidden Gun build if you're having trouble with it. Experiment with other abilities and you may find something that works better. For example; throwing knives and poison. With throwing knives you can slow down your pursuer or target and poison will give you extra bonuses.

It's tricky giving advice if you aren't willing to try the other abilities as well http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I've got a couple of pure hunting builds for manhunt.

TV/poison and crackers/poison. Rarely use TV, because I don't find it very effective.

I don't think 200 point maximum is worth the gun's cooldown. Or the lack of another ability.

Adding 300 points to a kill's score (sometimes more if I hit variety/greater variety with it) makes poison the preferable choice for me.

Have sometimes used the crackers/poison version in Wanted.

Totally your own fault in that case.

Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Not using every tool at your disposal because you can't be bothered to change your classes is just nonsense.

Depending on level, you have TV so you're higher then me, so you should have 3+ classes you can screw around with. One should be your favorite build, the others should be experimentation builds. Trying to remember mine. Hunter is Hidden gun (Use it on the roofers) and smoke. Hunted is Smoke and Morph then I use the 3rd for when I get random abilities and want to test them out, think I've got firecrackers on that build, trying to figure out how to use'em lol.

Most people view the stun as the only maneuver they have against their offensive attacker. Which is just not true. One of the more effective yes but then you discount the lure, stealth, and just plain making your attacker mess up, lose your contract and giving you the ability to slip away.

For instance, standing group of Doctors, you are a doctor. Do you blend in with them, do you sit on the bench close to them but not blended in the group, or do you hide in the haystack? No matter what you do, if you find a place like that with multiple options, you'll soon notice one guy who isn't acting like an NPC and is trying to figure out where you are.

You spotted him and he doesn't know where you are, one of the biggest defensive maneuvers in your arsenal in my opinion.

I play Manhunt mostly and have 2 main builds. TV, HG for hunting and SB, Morph for hunted. The gun is great for those 'runners' that I don't feel like chasing or when I use TV and see there are 2 or more targets in the same group. Getting the few points for using the HG and getting the points for a silent, airial kill are totally worth the gun's cooldown.

Anyway....if you want more flexability with your builds, Manhunt is good. It gives you the option to hunt then be hunted (or vice versa) instead of both at once.
