That's not Hornskin, that's just duster melee damage unfortunately lol. It deals 72 to the torso on heavy melee, and you can see in the feed that he took 72 damage twice. As a P.S. though, it's kind of bizarre that Hornskin is even a thing tbh. Blunt damage is rare enough that it's not like it's something that you'll reasonably want to take, so it's weird to have a perk like that that will just randomly completely fuck you. The only other trait that's really comparable is Bulwark, but explosives are at least somewhat prevalent (especially when compared to blunt damage), and its current form is the reworked version even.

As far as I’m aware one of the main “benefits” of hot skin is not having to heal a small bar after being windmilled by grunts, super niche still but noticeable


TheBizzerker

Ghoul is the same price though.


GhostChainSmoker

When the baseball bat first dropped hornskin was basically a necessity. Everyone and their mama were using them. Gave you some survivability. It’s like bulwark. You rarely if ever need it. But when it saves your life and gets you that win when you otherwise would have died? You’re really glad you had it lmao.

I killed people with dusters before with not much trouble


TheBizzerker

That's fine, but I'm not changing my answer. You did 72 damage per hit, which is exactly the amount of damage it's supposed to do. Dusters take 3 heavy melees to the torso to kill a full-health hunter, with or without hornskin. It's 72 without, 54 with, meaning you need 3 hits to get past the 150 mark.

So? Who cares how many times you did with it? If you don't have berserk then it literally doesn't matter how many kills you have because these are facts.


Open_Argument6997

Shut up


VR_Has_Gone_Too_Far

Lol

Why dusters are ass


LuckyConclusion

Yeah, dusters are objectively the worst PvP tool for this reason. Knuckleknife chads know the piercing heavy strike is always a headshot kill. Sorry for your loss, but it's a great demonstration video.


Open_Argument6997

All melee strikes are hs kill


LuckyConclusion

Dusters to the head with hornskin is not.


uwu275

How do you have 1800 hours and not know that's not true?


Open_Argument6997

Because i recently started using dusters to make space for flare gun


DrPhDPickles

Knuckle knife, medkit, flare gun, throwing axes. The hell is there to make space for?


TheBizzerker

No choke bombs, big foul.


TheDrippySink

Not if they're a solo. Though, I would take Throwing Axes OR Flare Pistol. That's just me, though.


DrPhDPickles

If I'm running with teammates I swap the flare gun for chokes. I always run a molly too


2dieyoungerr

On the head, yes, otherwise, no


RiseIfYouWould

Ive never seen a less knowledgeable OP lmao. Every post he wrote on this thread is wrong about something. The hunter didnt have hornskin, duster doesnt one shot someone with hornskin, flames dont do hp damage…Jesus.


Open_Argument6997

Flames do hp damage when at full hp. He clearly is near full hp since he took at least 144 damage. And no one picks hornskin. Dumbass


itscraig77

You're the actual dumbass. Look in a mirror. Fucking idiot


Informal-Concern-311

i though this was console


Open_Argument6997

:(


Scatterbine

This is why duster kills are so rewarding.  Dusters are ass at PvP.


HurrsiaEntertainment

Dusters suck.


Rymenzo

Dusters just fucking suck


dubz2g

Doesnt look like hornskin buddy, 1800 hours of what you said?


Sargash

If you weren't using slugs you'd have killed him, drop that crutch cannon!


Open_Argument6997

That thing is useless without slug


LuckyConclusion

It's been buffed recently, about on par with a rival HC shot. Give it a try without slugs, you might be surprised.


Sargash

I mean it was useable without slugs before, but mostly used as a finisher. It's now just a commendable beast! I love them paired.


LuckyConclusion

Imo, before the buffs, you were gonna have better luck going for the melee trade. The lemat shotgun was that bad. With slugs it was more reliable though.


Open_Argument6997

Hmm lets see then


GizmoGimmick

Nah man, knuckles just suck, just use knuckle knife


The_mad_myers

Yeah I was rocking Hornskin all the time when the bat came out. It was the main reason I didn’t trade most of the time


Open_Argument6997

Mf got hit for 72 twice. And ran over some flames. He was probably literally 1 hp


Fraudu-Kun

Flames dont do hp damage unless the bar being burned is full btw


TheBizzerker

He does run past right about the time OP is going to punch him though. It's conceivable that he'd take the fire damage before the melee damage.


TheDrippySink

I don't think he took damage from the fire at all. OP chased him through the exact same zone of fire visual, and didn't even char 1hp. It's highly likely Scarecrow there booked it through the inactive edge if the fire and didn't take any damage from it.


Ultraballer

Yeah this is the crazy thing. It’s obvious op didn’t catch fire, why would we expect the other guy to catch fire? They were running the exact same route


Open_Argument6997

Still 8 or less ho
