| 14s | Hello. |
|---|---|
| 14s | I'm Dennis Schwartz, Design Director for Hunt: Showdown 1896. |
| 17s | Today I'm excited to share more info about our next update. |
| 20s | Post Malone's Murder Circus |
| 21s | the latest in-game event coming to Hunt on December 12th, 2024. |
| 25s | This is our biggest event ever and we are so excited to show you |
| 28s | what's in store. |
| 33s | First off, |
| 33s | we are thrilled to be collaborating with artist and Hunt superfan Post Malone. |
| 37s | As a core Hunt player himself, Post Malone brought and inspired |
| 40s | tons of ideas and feedback on unique themes and equipment. |
| 43s | Players will see him featured as the Deposed King and Ringmaster of the Murder Circus, |
| 47s | a deadly carnival that once operated under his control |
| 50s | but now runs rampant under |
| 52s | the influence of a corrupted artifact called the Helios Stone. |
| 55s | This event brings in a new circus themed compound, |
| 58s | stunning new weapons, traits, other gameplay activities, and more. |
| 61s | We also welcome Ursa Mortis, |
| 63s | a massive, bloodthirsty bear who defends the carnival from intruders. |
| 71s | The new Murder Circus compounds |
| 72s | will be present across various locations on our maps in Bounty Hunt. |
| 76s | Hunters can explore the circus ring, surrounding booths, |
| 79s | and spend their Pledge Marks on exclusive sealed rewards and equipment. |
| 82s | A unique addition is the mysterious fortune teller machine. |
| 85s | Here, you can use Pledge Marks to let fate decide on random traits |
| 88s | or other rare rewards you'll receive. |
| 89s | These fortune teller machines will appear in the Murder Circus compounds, |
| 92s | as well as randomly at supply points. |
| 94s | Many grunts that roam the world during the event will be members of the circus |
| 98s | running around with a murderous laughs and freaky costumes. |
| 101s | Hunting them down will yield extra event points. |
| 106s | To make the circus even more exciting. |
| 108s | We have a new monster coming! |
| 109s | Say hello to Ursa mortis, a two headed bear who can smell nearby |
| 113s | bleeding hunters in the charge of them in a frenzy or attack with a lethal roar. |
| 117s | Slay the monster for a good chance of getting a free trait. |
| 123s | You'll be |
| 123s | able to borrow your hunters allegiance to one of three factions known as "Troupes". |
| 127s | The pledge boxes are found at the circus compound, or supply points. |
| 130s | When you pledge to a Troupe, your Hunter will be rewarded with a first trait |
| 134s | to be granted your Troupe. Second trait. |
| 135s | You can further deepen your vow by pledging again for a few Pledge Marks. |
| 139s | To earn Pledge Marks, players collect event points |
| 142s | to receive one Pledge Mark for every 25 points collected. |
| 145s | Hunters can also now hold up to nine Pledge Marks, with some sealed rewards costs |
| 149s | having been adjusted around this. |
| 150s | Furthermore, as a twist, |
| 152s | it is now possible to loot Pledge Marks from enemy Hunters. |
| 155s | Don't hold onto them for too long. |
| 156s | The Trickshooter Troupe, is |
| 157s | focus on the mastery of weapons and tools and features two traits. Blademancer, |
| 161s | which allows you to retrieve nearby launched blades via Dark Sight, |
| 164s | and Crack Shot, which slightly reduces your weapons spread and recoil. |
| 168s | The Mystic Troupe channels Dark Sight to misdirect |
| 170s | and confuse their enemies, and track them with every noise they make. |
| 173s | The traits you gain by pledging to this Troupe are Poltergeist, |
| 176s | which allows you to manipulate nearby doors, windows, and other interactions, |
| 180s | and Blast Sense, which allows you to see gunshots and explosions in Dark Sight. |
| 184s | The Ringmaster Troupe is centered around the circus's Ringmaster, |
| 187s | putting on a show with spectacle and mind tricks. |
| 190s | The traits you'll gain by pledging to this Troupe are Shadow Crush, |
| 192s | which allows you to wound and kill monsters via Dark Sight, and Corpse Seer, |
| 196s | which grants you a second of Dark Sight Boost for every looted hunter. |
| 199s | Speaking of which, |
| 200s | while it is now possible for hunters to obtain Dark Sight Boost |
| 203s | even without carrying a bounty token, the location |
| 205s | where the Dark Sight Boost was gained will be shown on a map with a scorch mark. |
| 209s | Every time a Hunter receives it. |
| 211s | Another quality of life change with this update |
| 213s | is that players can now choose when to activate their Dark Sight Boost. |
| 216s | This allows players to conserve this precious resource much more easily. |
| 220s | A legacy option where it starts to burn the moment you enter Dark Sight |
| 223s | will still remain for those who prefer it. |
| 228s | One of the coolest |
| 229s | elements of Post Malone's Murder Cricus is the new weapon, the Shredder. |
| 233s | It's a fast firing, powerful, sawblade launcher which can only be obtained |
| 236s | from the circus tent by spending Pledge Marks. It fires |
| 239s | both saw blades and frag-blades |
| 242s | Only one Shredder appears in the circus tent |
| 243s | per mission so keep an eye out for your opportunity to grab one. |
| 247s | The saw blades are able to bounce off hard surfaces and around corners, |
| 250s | and are etched with runes |
| 251s | to give the potential to ricochet in the direction of nearby enemies. |
| 255s | Frag-blades burst into lethal sharpnel, in a few seconds after launch and cannot |
| 258s | be retrieved. |
| 259s | The Shredder will only be available during Post Malone's Murder Circus |
| 262s | and will disappear once the event has ended. |
| 266s | Of course, no event is complete without new rewards, |
| 269s | and with Post Malone's Murder Circus, we are bringing in some awesome |
| 271s | circus themed prizes designed to surprise and delight any Hunter out there. |
| 275s | We've also got some awesome Hunters up for grabs this event, |
| 277s | including the ringmaster himself, Post Malone, |
| 280s | as well as other themed Hunters like Chum and Winky. |
| 283s | Here's a little sneak peek of some of the weapon skins you can expect. |
| 286s | First, we have the Marble Saw, a terminal shotgun. |
| 289s | Next, we have the Lap of Luxury, an 1865 carbine. |
