Hunt Showdown update 1.92 is available on PS4, PC and Xbox One. According to the official Hunt Showdown 1.92 patch notes, the latest update brings quality of life changes and improvements. Apart from this, today’s Hunt Showdown patch 1.92 also includes gameplay performance improvements.

Previously, a major Hunt Showdown update 1.13 added the event “Tide of Shadows” and fixes for the Shooting Range, Pacts and Traits, and equipment pricing. Unfortunately, players are still facing bugs and issues with the game. Today’s Hunt Showdown version 1.92 will fix a few of these issues.

Read more details below.

Hunt Showdown 1.92 Patch Notes – October 13, 2023

Custom Ammo Box

The Custom Ammo Box is a new interactive Ammo Box that can be found in the bayou during Missions. They allow Hunters to swap their active ammo type in their selected weapon with one from a box. These new boxes can be found at Supply Points, Watch Towers, and Hunting Towers in both Bounty Hunt and Soul Survivor. Unlimited versions can also be found in the Shooting Range.

Available Ammo Types

Each ammo type listed below can be found in Custom Ammo Boxes:

Bullets

• FMJ
• Dumdum
• Explosive
• High Velocity
• Incendiary
• Poison
• Spitzer

Boxes containing bullets can be used while holding any valid weapon across all available ammo sizes, for example the Incendiary box can be used with weapons that can equip Compact Incendiary, Medium Incendiary, or Long Incendiary.

Shells

• Dragonbreath
• Flechette
• Pennyshot
• Slugs

Bolts/Arrows

• Explosive Bolt
• Frag Arrow
• Poison Arrow
• Poison Compact Bolt

Interaction

Using a Custom Ammo Box requires a hold interaction, similar to looting a Saddlebag or dead Hunter. This accounts for the time it takes a Hunter to unload their weapon. The interaction time lasts between 1-8s based on how much ammo is currently loaded in the weapon.

When you swap ammo types, all previous excess ammunition you carried in that weapon will be lost and the weapon will be fully emptied. When the interaction is complete, you will replenish the same amount of ammunition of the new type as you would from an Ammo Box consumable.

Interacting with a Custom Ammo Box when already having the same custom ammo type equipped will allow you to take the ammo from the box instead of swap. For example, interacting with an Incendiary Swap Box while Incendiary ammo is already equipped on your current weapon will replenish all Incendiary ammo pools rather than swap out the ammo type.

Weapon Inspect

Weapon Inspect is a new action that can be triggered during Missions that allows a Hunter to view their equipped weapon in greater detail.

This feature will come in waves, the first of which includes:

• All Pistols (Single and Dual Wield)
• All Melee weapons (including Tools)
• World-spawned weapons (Sledgehammer, Lantern, Bear Trap, etc.)
• Special weapons (Crossbow, Hunting Bow, Bomb Lance, etc.)

Additional weapons will receive their own Weapon Inspect animations in future updates.

Triggering the action can be done by pressing the ‘Weapon Inspect’ input. The default bindings for supported platforms are:

• PC – ‘I’ (can be customized like other PC inputs)
• XBOX – Y (when the Weapon Wheel is open)
• PS – ‘Triangle’ (when the Weapon Wheel is open)

Once triggered, any inspect animation can be instantly interrupted by most other gameplay actions (Aiming, Attacking, Quickswap etc.)

***Developer’s Note:***Weapon Inspect has been a highly requested feature by many in the Community, and we are very happy to deliver this first batch. Due to the large workload of hand crafting each animation, we chose to release them in batches.

Razer ChromaWe are thrilled to announce the arrival of Razer Chroma effects in Hunt! If you have Razer products, you can now use a number of pre-made effects. These will be expanded upon in a future update, as well.

Razer Chroma

Effects have been added for the following actions:

• Default Chroma Effect while in a match of Hunt.
• While in Dark Sight.
• When interacting with a Clue or Rift.
• When your Hunter bleeds.
• When your Hunter is burning.
• When your Hunter is shooting.
• When your Hunter is melee attacking.
• When your Hunter is walking through water.

Flash Bomb ReworkThe Flash Bomb is one of the strongest, most effective Consumables in any Hunter’s arsenal. With these changes, we hope to bring it more in line with other Consumables:

• The Flash Bomb now requires a short preparation before it can be thrown.
  • This is supported by a new priming animation and sound.
• Bulwark now decreases the duration of the flash.
• Hunters who are flashed and have Bulwark will not give a hit marker to the thrower.
• The full flash screen color has been slightly adjusted to be less straining for the eyes.
• The Flash Bomb has been removed from Dark Tribute and Challenge rewards.
• The Flash Bomb can no longer be found or looted in Missions.
• Recruited Hunters will not come with Flash Bombs anymore.

***Developer’s Note:***With the new priming mechanic on the Flash Bomb, players will have a better chance to react to the Consumable, similar to the process of navigating thrown explosives. Additionally, the change to Bulwark allows the player to be better prepared against Flash Bombs, and the change to the color of the full flash screen will offer players a gentler experience when getting fully flashed.

Gunplay

• For Riposte attachments, the vertical melee angle for light melee attacks was slightly adjusted to be better aligned with the animation.
• Added the Drilling and LeMat Mark II UpperMat sounds to the Chaos Bomb and Chaos Bolt.
• Adjusted the Shredder ammo for the Nitro:
  • No wall penetration beyond 41m (excluding wire meshed).
  • Can only penetrate thin walls.
  • Reduced damage after a second wall penetration.
  • Reduced one-hit kill distance to the upper torso on a Hunter up to 58m.
• Resupply changes to the Quad Derringer and Flare Pistol:
  • The Quad Derringer now resupplies with Ammo Crates and the Ammo Box Consumable.
    • 8 Bullets from the Ammo Crate.
    • Full refill from the Ammo Box Consumable.
  • The Flare Pistol now shares an ammo pool with Starshell ammo and refills with Special Ammo Crates.
• Increased the regeneration speed on the Regeneration Shot and Regeneration Shot (Weak) to be the same as the normal health regeneration. Increased their prices by 20 Hunt Dollars each.
  • The Regeneration Shot now costs 105 Hunt Dollars (was previously 85).
  • The Regeneration Shot (Weak) now costs 40 Hunt Dollars (was previously 20).
• Adjusted the stamina consumption on several melee weapons:
  • All Brawler variants: light melee has been reduced from 10 to 7, and heavy melee from 25 to 15.
  • All Talon variants: heavy melee has been reduced from 50 to 45.
  • All Trauma variants: heavy melee has been reduced from 50 to 45.
  • All Bayonet variants: heavy melee has been reduced from 40 to 30.
  • All Riposte variants: heavy melee has been increased from 25 to 30 to be on par with Bayonet variants.
  • All Claw variants: light melee has been reduced from 25 to 22, and heavy melee from 34 to 28.
  • Combat Axe: heavy melee has been reduced from 34 to 33. (This does not affect any Axes found in the world.)
• Increased the spare ammo on the Bornheim and its variants from 10 to 15.
• Increased the flying speed for the Choke Beetle and Stalker Beetle.
• Slightly increased the recoil on the Nagant M1895 Officer Carbine to make it harder to control.

***Developer’s Note:***After the recent changes to the Nagant M1895 Officer Carbine, we saw positive responses to the recoil changes; however, it was also too easy to control. We have made another small adjustment to make it slightly more difficult to keep the weapon on target after each shot.

Gameplay

Traits

ConduitConduit will now trigger for all teammates who currently have the Trait equipped when anyone in the team fully interacts with a Clue. This change reduces competition between teammates and makes Conduit a viable pick for the whole team. However, to account for this increase in usability, some additional adjustments have also been made:

• Increase to 5 Upgrade Points from 4.
• Stamina reduced to 3 minutes from 5.
• No longer triggered by picking up the Bounty Token (only Clues).

***Developer’s note:***Since its last change, we have seen Conduit become an overall very useful pick for both Teams and Solos, and these changes help to bring a better balance between usefulness and cost. Additionally, we have removed the trigger on picking up a Bounty Token, as we would like to see Conduit focus more on being the ‘Clue Trait’ and Magpie as the ‘Bounty Token Trait.’

Decoy Supply

• Decoys, Blank Fire Decoys, and Decoy Fuses can now all be resupplied at Special Ammo Crates in addition to normal Ammo Crates.

**Shadow (Burn Trait)**Familiar to those who have taken part in recent Live Events, Shadow is now returning permanently as a new Burn Trait. As a Burn Trait, Shadow cannot be purchased in the Upgrades screen, and instead can only be found during a Mission—either through a rare world spawn or dropped from a killed Meathead.

• Shadow – Monsters can’t see you, but they can still hear you. Burns when your Hunter is downed.

Meta

Hunter Slots

• Increased the max amount of Hunter slots to 75 from 50.

Restoration changes

With Update 1.13, a clarity pass was applied to the effects that fully restore your Hunter, by adding a Restoration Ticker which denoted the effect. Now with Update 1.14, this is further enhanced by adding additional signposting with audio-visual effects on the source (e.g. the Boss Target corpse on Banish) and all receivers (e.g. all Hunters on the team that initiated the Banish). Players can now locate enemy Hunters who have just received a Restoration with some careful attention; on the other hand, it can reveal your location if you are the recipient.

Weapon Prices

• Mosin-Nagant M1891 Bayonet decreased to 507 Hunt Dollars from 540.
• Springfield M1892 Krag Bayonet decreased to 391 Hunt Dollars from 426.
• Winfield M1873 Musket Bayonet decreased to 87 Hunt Dollars from 137.
• Vetterli 71 Karabiner Bayonet decreased to 115 Hunt Dollars from 155.
• Specter 1882 Bayonet decreased to 211 Hunt Dollars from 223.
• Springfield 1866 Compact Striker decreased to 47 Hunt Dollars from 56.

Audio

• A consistency pass has been made on bullet crack audio for High Velocity ammo in order to better reflect its speed. Medium High Velocity Ammo on silent weapons now plays the generic bullet crack used on other silent weapons. All other Medium High Velocity Ammo now plays a specific High-Velocity bullet crack.
• Added new audio assets for grabbing bullets while reloading handguns.
• Priming a Flash Bomb is now louder—around the same volume as priming a Dynamite Stick.

AI

• Rotjaw now notices Hunters up to 20m around her and will enter the water upon noticing them.
