Re: Silent Hunter 5 1.2 Vitality Crack Only Nitro
Jemima Torguson
Starting off with basics. You hire a hunter. But you have 2 different levels to work on. A bloodline level, this never gets wiped so the more you play, the more experience you get in your bloodline. With bloodline you can unlock Tier 2 or 3 class hunters and Bloodline also unlocks more weapons.
The other upgrade path is character experience. Here you can upgrade your character with perks. These are linked solely to that character and if the character dies. So do those perks and you will have to rank up a new character with same or different perks.
Here is one of the great things of the game. Weapons are only marginally better at higher bloodline ranks, or not at all depending on how you want to play. The real bonus in character is the skills you attain through experience. And the high level guys are just as prone to loosing perks and rebuilding a new character as a fresh player. Though a higher bloodline will gain you access to more perks. Again more on this later.
To combat this, those that pick up a bounty get a boost to their own darklight. They get 10 seconds each and using darklight will show up enemy players positions as an orange swirling mass. This only works at close range.
My Bloodline is moving along and I have access to tier two characters. The difference between tier 1 and tier two is the cost of the player. They usually have more stylish clothing and start with a perk or two, probably a higher tier weapon.
However even though I can only access tier 1 and 2 characters, the random hire screen has given me the choice of a tier3 character for a LOT of money. No thanks. This game is about managing your money, so buying the most expensive stuff in game all the time may not be a wise choice. Sorry pics from Steam are all JPG so not the best.

The maps can cycle between Day or night, with or without fog and poses excellent ambiance challenges. Daytime we can be spotted easier, but muzzle flashes at night time give you away. Fog counters the long range ability of snipers. Today is daytime with a mild fog. Not the best for long range spotting. The lands are full of undead horrors and just navigating the map is dangerous. Let alone running into other players. My teammate is running of to silently kill two zombies in the distance.

Moving into the first clue, we both take different routes. I go high with my ranged weapons whilst Romin stays low. Using darklight to home into a clue. Some portions of the map are incredibly detailed and pose serious threats especially from waiting snipers.

Its good to scout out an area before just blindly running in. If you have been heard or seen (sounds play a huge part of this game) a player may be waiting. I rush down to a lower level and close in on the clue. Turning the corner this horror pops out. Its Armoured and can take a hell of a lot of gun shots. Gun shots are loud, but I know I can take it out with a knife. So I close in for a kill. Engaging in melee is quiet but its far more silent than gunshots.

As you gather clues, chunks of your map will be greyed out where the monster is not. On this picture there are two Bosses. There is one somewhere in the north and one somewhere in the south. We need to get another clue. The markers I and II do not pinpoint the enemy, they just show which region of the map a particular boss is in. We have heard gunshots far off in the distance. We are not alone!!

Inside another farm and on Clue number 2. We accidentally stumbled onto the spiders lair. Again in this game you may be lucky or unlucky depending how you see it, to stumble on the boss before you get all the clues.
The spider is in the large barn that my gun is pointing at. With some discussion we opt to not engage the spider and sit back and wait to ambush anyone else that comes for the bounty. Hopefully we can engage them whilst they are engaging the spider. 20181207140839_1942530 94.6 KB

We wait and wait, but no one came. Hmm tactics, is someone else camping like us waiting for the perfect shot? should we engage the spider. In the end we broke cover and engaged the spider. As my pants were filling with brown mess whilst battling the spider, I forgot to take screenshots. This thing moves incredibly fast. Climes walls and rooves, spits poison and jumps on you. But we vanquish the spider and start the Banishing process.
Banishing complete, we have not been engaged. Its time to collect the bounty. This is what we are here for. But it comes at a cost. Picking up a bounty will show your position to anyone using darklight. However we get 10 seconds total (using it in spurts) of advanced darklight which shows up enemy at close range.

We break cover and run at high speed towards extraction. Extraction points are at the edge of the map and randomly placed. We ran into a few of these. A hive. Its a twisted body that hosts a nest of poison wasps. If agitated these wasps will follow you for some time so you either have to kill it quick or run fast.
We are surpised we are not engaged yet. And we are starting to get the impression that only 2 things remain. 1) all other players are dead. 2) they are camping the extraction point we are heading to.
In the picture below, using darklight, You can see the lightning bolt above my partner caused by holding onto the bounty. This is how you get tracked by the enemy and can be seen across the entire map. We periodically use our own special darklight to see if we are going to be ambushed and we find nothing. Both of us run out of special darklight before we get to extraction. So its a case of hope and see what happens.

I decide to hamper them by lobbing a barb ware trap as close as I can to the fallen boss. This trap springs forth a large ball of razor wire which inflicts heavy bleeding damage. This prevents them from accessing the boss and I hear several groans as they attempt to make the bounty.
Your partner is outlined in blue and you can see him through walls. I watch as he climbs a ladder into the building. Gun fire erupts as my partner engages and by the sound of it drops an enemy. I decide its time to rush in. breaching the gate I hear gunfire, close gunfire. Crap he is just behind this wall. He stops shooting at my buddy and face to face we blind fire at each other.
Unfortunately I go down and somewhere in that exchange my partner does too. (if you go down you can be revived by a team member). But as we are both down, its the end of the game for us. The end of our hunters. Its time to create a new one.
I want to refit him my style so I get rid of the sabre (which is a great melee weapon and goes to my inventory as I have bought him) and also replace the main gun for the silenced Winfield. Even though it looses stopping power over range, i am enjoying the confusion a silenced/suppressed weapon causes.
Game starts off and partner of randomness sprints into action with me lagging behind. We can already hear gunfire in the direction of our first waypoint. Its not long after as we inch to the clue that we are not alone. Gunfire rings out and my buddy is locked in a gun fight. I try to get an advantage by swinging left and in bushes and also engage.
There is a silence as we all manoeuvre to engage. Next, a crackle of 3 quick shots and my partner about 15 feet away is downed. I stay still on a mound covered by bushes. they are really close. The bushes provide excellent cover but also obstruct my view. But it works more in my favour. I can hear footsteps as one person closes into my fallen comrade to either loot or burn the corps (burning a corpse after some time stops that person from being revived.)
Its a no brainer - parden the pun - as my suppressed bullet speeds through the skull of my unsuspecting victim. The supressed bullet has caused confusion as the other member of her party is confused where it came from. He rushes to her side to revive (the worst thing to do without scouting) and I can see a sleeve through the leaves. I estimate a body shot and let a bullet go. It hits home but he is not dead, Another round enters his body and I have managed to take out all the enemy.
There is a lot of dead here and the battle was bigger than we expected. By we were triumphant and presumed clear. Its time to move off to find the Boss, another horrible spider uuurrrrggghhh. I am keen to get a shot of the spider in action this time so my mind is on pictures.
Its a swampy area and water is not always your friend in game. It slows you down and also things lurk in it that causes pain and suffering. This is a water devil. It moves at incredible speed in the water and not something to play with .

Unfortunately the water and the water devils meant that my partner and I were split up. He was not a very high rank and was maybe confused about how to reach me. In the mean time, not far away After picking up the second clue, the spider was discovered in a large building.
THE UGLY
So I lead muggins back off to the spider. But first we need to cross water with a water devil. I show him that you can shoot it and it will go away for a short time. So here we are both plinking at this horrid beast with unsilenced weapons for the world to hear and it eventually slinks back into the murk.
We then cross over the water and as soon as my feet touch land, there is a sound like a thud and my body hits the dirt. I have been sniped. Seconds later, my friend next to me gets a single shot to the head. I guess he stopped in his tracks in confusion that I suddenly out of nowhere dropped dead.
Gunplay changes - With this update, we are introducing our first set of Quality of Life improvements to gunplay, this includes faster and normalized animation timings across the arsenal for weapon cycling, grenade throwing and aiming down sight after selecting a weapon.
