YMMV / Prop Hunt

Go To

  • Broken Base: Is the noob tube a necessary evil for killing small props, or an annoying tool that ruins great hiding spots? Depending on the situation, both can apply.
  • Fair for Its Day: Fans of the GMOD version generally admit that the game is fun, but it has a lot of annoying bugs that make it inferior to other versions.
  • Fan Nickname: Extremely overpowered hiding spots using very small props are often referred to as "Terroriser Spots."
  • Scrappy Mechanic: The GMOD version is filled with this.
    • Props can only face in one direction, and it's impossible to tell which way your prop is facing because your prop "moves" on your screen according to where your camera is facing. The other players do not see any of this; you could have a seemingly perfect spot, but then one of your teammates (or worse yet, a hunter) will tell you that you're facing the wrong way.
    • The time limit. 4 1/2 minutes is so much more than enough time to explore an entire map. It's almost impossible to stump the hunters for the entirety of that time limit unless you find a "Terroriser Spot" or if they get extremely distracted.
    • The tendency for hunters to "trip" over objects and instantly die. It doesn't happen often, but it occurs enough to make the hunters Properly Paranoid of the entire map, particularly objects on the ground.
    • 1 hp props. Extremely tiny props are notorious for their bad hitboxes while moving, leading to hunters blowing tons of ammo and time to kill them. It doesn't help that the prop can be clearly shot and outright bleed while moving, but it still doesn't disappear. It's like there's a Random Number God that decides if the prop will die.
