Hunt Showdown 1.13 Patch Notes (1.4.4) (Updated)
Winfield M1873C Vandal Striker
- Variant of the shortened Winfield Vandal.
- The knife attached to its barrel can be used for both heavy and light melee attacks.
Martini Henry Marksman “Oberon’s Hound”
- Martini-Henry IC1 Marksman
Description: “Named for a most fearsome and relentless hunter of the wood, in a bygone time this rifle won its renown taking down the prey etched on its receiver: egret, doe, buck, and bear. Now, this Martini-Henry IC1 Marksman sights itself on bigger, deadlier prizes. “
Martini Henry Deadeye “Sacrosanct”
- Martini-Henry IC1 Deadeye
Description: “Sanctified in something beyond mortal understanding; the work of this Martini-Henry Deadeye is hallowed. Unfortunates who find themselves sighted in the purview of the Sacrosanct will face their sins, all too soon.”
Springfield Marksman “Archangel
- Springfield 1886 Marksman
Description: “In Christian scripture, archangels led the celestial host against the forces of darkness. In the bayou, this Springfield 1866 Marksman is used to the same purpose: to drive the creeping forces of darkness out of the bayou and return the region to the divine light.”
Nagant M1895 Precision “Polar Star”
- Nagant M1895 Precision
Description:” Fyodor Brusilov was gifted this Nagant M1895 Precision to commemorate his first voyage as captain of The Polar Star. The ship never reached its final port of call, and all hands were declared lost at sea – until this pistol turned up in the bayou.”
General Updates
- Dead hunters no longer play the “healed” sound effect when they stop burning.
- Refactored controls to allow more fluid transitions between equipment actions and sprinting.
- Players are now able to sprint as soon as the aim input is lifted, even if a weapon is technically still in the firing process and applying recoil.
- Previously the delay before players could sprint after firing a shot could only be circumvented by quickly switching equipment. This is no longer needed.
- Applies to Hunter and Gunslinger controls schemes and all combinations of Aim Down Sights or Sprint set to toggle or hold.
- It is no longer possible to interrupt the firing process right after a shot, while it is still applying recoil.
- Switching to other equipment is queued and executed right afterward.
- Entering Dark Sight now follows the same rules as switching equipment in order to prevent recoil cancelling.
- Pistols that enter the Aim Down Sight state after a weapon switch have slightly increased sway, fading out over a short period of time.
Players often found themselves unable to start sprinting instantly after a shot was fired because the weapon was technically still aiming until all recoil was applied and therefore locking movement speed. We reworked parts of the system to ensure more player agency over their hunters’ mobility without the need for such workarounds. Overall the controls should feel a lot smoother and more responsive that way.
When we introduced the faster weapon swapping during Early Access, it was to try to remove some clunkiness from the controls. However – unintended by us – this change also gave rise to the dominant strategy to quickly swap to your second weapon after a shot and attempt to score a follow-up hit to finish your target off.
While being a skill move, of course, it shifted the power of certain weapons, negating their built-in disadvantages like being a single-shot weapon too much. This strategy was further amplified around the 1.0 full release, where we reduced weapon sway across the board to make the game more accessible for newer players. Some players perfected this quick swap meta to the point that it started feeling abusive and “gamey” in a game that tries to use the rough mechanics and shortcomings of the weapons in a way to balance them against each other.
With these changes, we want to take one step back and reorder this part of the game a bit. Quick swap is meant to stay, but becomes a tad more difficult to pull off – hopefully making it less of a dominant strategy by veteran players and opening up the arsenal more to other options. Players will at least have to suffer the full recoil of the shot before they can change weapons, but on the other hand, they gain a lot of mobility out of the box.
Frag Bomb
- Adjusted damage falloff resulting in higher chances of survival towards the range limit.
- Shrapnels that reach players behind full cover only apply Intense Bleeding and no actual health damage.
Weapon Changes
- Slightly increased the rate of fire for the LeMat Mark II revolver.
- It shoots a little bit slower than the Caldwell Conversion with regular fire.
- The fanning speed is comparable to the Caldwell Pax now.
- Slightly reduced the rate of fire for the Nitro Express Rifle.
- It is a bit slower now in firing the second barrel right after the first, in order to help with animation blending and the quick swap smoothing mentioned above.
New Trait: Necromancer
“Using Dark Sight revive a downed partner from a distance, though at the cost of a small amount of health.”
- Available at Rank 69.
- Costs 4 Upgrade points.
- Used similarly to the Serpent trait (25m range, 10s channel time).
- User loses 2.5 health per second during channeling.
- Starting channeling will NOT stop the burning state of the corpse-like a manual revive does.
New Trait: Whispersmith
“Reduces noise when selecting equipment.”
- Available at Rank 32.
- Costs 2 Upgrade points.
- Reduced the maximum matchmaking time for Bounty Hunt matches to 90 seconds
- New player’s skill level is now adjusted to allow them an easier introduction to Hunt. It remains artificially lower until the end of the Trainee mode.
Bounty Hunt
- There is a chance for weapons to be found in bounty hunt missions now.
- Mostly but not exclusively low tier weapons (Unlock levels are generally below rank 10)
- All weapon categories (close to long-range) are represented.
- Weapons looted are marked as Contrabands.
Global Changes
- Added a first aid kit to every Quickplay recruit.
- Removed First Aid kits from the spawn lists (they can’t be found anymore in Quickplay).
Random Class
- Added the Specter Compact as possible starter equipment.
- Added the Nagant M1895 Dual Wield as possible starter equipment.
- Added the Caldwell Conversion Pistol Dual Wield as possible starter equipment.
- Added the Nagant M1895 Silencer Dual Wield as possible starter equipment.
Medium Range Class

Short Range Class
- Added the LeMat Mark II as possible starter equipment.
- Added the Specter Compact as possible starter equipment.
- Optimized loading screen hints to better support new players with best practices and advice.
- Slightly adjusted equipment and outfits of the first free Hunters a new player can choose from.
Training Boss replaced with Butcher
- Players will now face the Butcher instead of the Spider in the training maps.
- Basic: 25% health
- Advanced: 50% health
- Professional: Normal health.
The Butcher will allow players to pick up the basics of fighting bosses (making use of weapons scattered around, frenzy mode, dangerously strong attacks to dodge, etc.) while being much easier to hit, allowing them to get used to the combat and still feel the satisfaction of taking down a boss.
We hope that this, amongst the other changes we have been working on, will help to improve the overall onboarding experience!
