  • First Major Content Update for Hunt: Showdown Released Today on Steam

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]24994[/ATTACH]
    Following the massive performance patch that was released almost exactly a month back, comes the first major content update for the Crytek developed Hunt: Showdown. The update includes some new content (obviously) alongside other various gameplay tweaks, changes, and bug fixes. It should be noted that the game is still considered to be in Early Access.
    With Content Update 1, players will gain access to five new weapons equipped with scopes, as well as two new tactical bombs and eleven new Hunter outfits. Twelve new traits, which boost players’ performance and capabilities in various ways, are also debuting with this update.

    In response to community feedback, one of the update’s biggest goals was to reduce the advantages for campers by changing level architecture and layout, as well as adding rewards for players who successfully banish the boss. You can learn more about these changes in a video with Level Design Director Chris Auty here. In another video, Lead Designer Dennis Schwarz and Senior System Designer David West also address this issue, as well as some of the changes and additions to weapons, gunplay, traits, hunters, and audio.

    The videos linked above can also be found below. The full list of changes can be found on this special Hunt: Showdown update page or this changelog. They also have a roadmap available to see what's planned for their next couple of updates.
