I have enjoyed the game and have seen great new additions and progress with each update. I cannot wait to see how this one plays out.
New Hunt: Showdown Content Arrives in Update 2.1
Experience new weapons, improvements, and mission conditions
FRANKFURT, Germany – July 16, 2018 – Even more new content for Hunt: Showdown,
Crytek’s early access multiplayer bounty hunting game, went live today with the
release of Update 2.1, coming hot on the heels of the release of Update 2. Update
2.1’s two biggest additions are both community-requested features: a partner
spectator mode for players who die during a match and a new mission type with heavy
fog.
With Update 2.1, players will also get access to more weapons and the usual slew of
improvements and bug fixes. New weapons included in the update are the Crossbow,
Hand Crossbow, Poisonhand Crossbow, Throwing Knives, a Specter with bayonet, a
Sparks with silencer, a Winfield with silencer, and a Combat Axe. Two related traits
have also been added—Bolt Thrower and Bolt Seer—which will give any bow slinger
additional prowess. Fixes range from menu tweaks to weapon balancing, and the
details are all available in the Update Patch Notes.
“Seeing the reactions of the community and working closely with their feedback to
fine-tune the direction of the game has been an incredible process,” said Loic
Raimond (Live Service Producer) of Hunt’s early access process. “It feels like a
truly collaborative process, and the game is all the better—and more fun—for it.”
