This looks like a great event for the game and it is nice to see new content.
Players can unlock early access to four new weapons – the Scottfield Brawler, Berthier Riposte, Caldwell Model 92, and Winfield Model 93 – and further rewards include new legendary skins for weapons and equipment. These four weapons won’t be officially available in-game until a future date after the event, so now’s a great time to get hands-on experience with them.
Launching alongside the live event today is the “Meridian Turncoat” DLC. The pack includes “Turncoat,” a new legendary hunter whose mind is set on revenge after being sent to war and falsely accused of treason for being the sole survivor of an ambush. The new DLC also includes two legendary weapons, a pair of Dolch 96 pistols named Crossfire and Ambush, plus a new legendary ammo crate – Red Cask. The “Meridian Turncoat” DLC is available now on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation stores for $9.99/€9.99/£9.99.
The in-game store also has special offers running for the duration of the live event. The “Traitor’s Moon Event Bundle” features a new legendary choke bomb, the “Cicada,” 1,000 event points, and a 24-Hour Chary’s Contract at a 15% discount. The Cicada is also available to purchase separately. A new loyalty bonus offers 800 blood bonds – Hunt‘s in-game currency – if players complete the event by unlocking all rewards, purchase an event-related item from the in-game store, and buy the “Meridian Turncoat” DLC. As a special offer, PC players can also buy an event bundle which includes the base game plus four DLCs for up to 56% off in total.
Hunt: Showdown is out now on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation®4. Players can find out more about this latest live event and the game by visiting www.huntshowdown.com.
