Hunters and Props

1022 votes

Video games give you the power to make a conflict out of anything such as plants versus zombies and people against objects in games like Hunters And Props also known as Prop Hunt. As we get older, we find it harder to play games from our childhood like hide and Seek. But, we can reinvent the game, add some new things, and turn it into a more modern experience. That's what's going on here where you've got a team of seekers and a team of hiders in cluttered environments. The only rule is not to get caught or break the game in any unfair ways.

About Hunters And Props

It was thanks to modders that we got the trend of people hiding as objects and others trying to find them. This game turns Hide and Seek into a whole other exciting and somewhat intense experience. Both sides have their strengths and weaknesses that you as a teammate have to figure out. Both sides make it so that you can play as a team or individually and still have a good time hunting and hiding. For the best experience, have a strong internet connection so that your character can move smoothly across the map and you can quickly take aim at the targets.

The goal changes depending on the team that you're on. If you're on the hunter team, you need to find and eliminate all the props. If you're on the prop team, you need to find a place to hide and survive until the end of the timer. The game ends when either the timer runs out or all of the props have been eliminated.

All of the hunters have the same weapons and a Prop Detector that will indicate when a player-prop is nearby. Props are unarmed but are smaller and able to move much faster than the hunters. When you join the prop team, you can take on various prop forms that are related to the map where you're playing.

You can choose whether to join a game or host your own by creating a room. You can select which map to play on and set rules like the number of players you want.

Tips and Tricks

This is a very fast-paced game and it can be very easy to fall into a panic. If you're a hunter, make good use of the Prop Detector and be prepared to sweep with multiple shots. As a prop, look for the most inconspicuous locations and always have a clear escape route.
