| 6s | Hello, I'm Dennis |
|---|---|
| 7s | Schwartz, design director for Hunt: Showdown 1896. |
| 11s | First off, I want to thank you all for your continued |
| 13s | support and patience since the launch of 1896. |
| 16s | We know the journey hasn't been without its bumps, |
| 18s | and we truly appreciate your understanding as we work through the challenges. |
| 21s | Your feedback has been invaluable, and we're excited |
| 23s | to share the improvements and new content we've been working on. |
| 30s | Let's dive right into our next big thing. |
| 32s | The Harvest of Ghosts event, running from October 16th to November 25th. |
| 37s | This event brings back some of your favorite pacts |
| 39s | the Wilderness and the Smugglers. |
| 41s | Alongside the all-new Pact of Omens. |
| 43s | Each pact offers a unique playstyle and powerful traits, but it’s the new Dark Sight |
| 47s | powers that really stand out. |
| 48s | First up, we're introducing Blast Sense. |
| 51s | When used with The Pact of Omens, |
| 52s | Blast Sense reveals the origin of nearby gunshots and explosions |
| 55s | in Dark Sight, helping you locate enemies from a distance. |
| 58s | On top of that, |
| 59s | we've got a new conditional effect for Pain Sense—our new reimagination ofPoison Sense. |
| 63s | Which now highlights enemies who are bleeding, set on fire, or poisoned. |
| 67s | For The Pact of Omens, |
| 69s | It also highlights enemies who are out of stamina. |
| 71s | The Smuggler's Pact has received an upgrade with the unique trait Gunrunner, |
| 74s | allowing hunters to carry two large-slot weapons at the same time. |
| 77s | Greyhound is the pack’s conditional trait, applying a small speed |
| 81s | boost while sprinting while carrying a bounty, in addition to its normal bonus. |
| 84s | The Wilderness Pact is focused largly around the evolution of Surefoot, |
| 88s | which now also increases your crouch speed slightly, |
| 91s | as well as the tried and trusted Beastface conditional. |
| 93s | However, solo hunters will be happy to hear that the reduced crouch noise |
| 96s | from the last event has now moved to Lightfoot, |
| 99s | regardless of the chosen pact. |
| 104s | Throughout the |
| 104s | event, you'll have the opportunity to try out a range of new weapons. |
| 107s | First up, we have the Maynard Sniper, |
| 109s | our very first rifle that comes with a sniper scope by default, |
| 112s | and the Auto-4 Shorty, which offers devastating close-range firepower. |
| 116s | Next, we're introducing the Rival 78 Mace and the Centennial Pointman. |
| 120s | These two medium-slot weapon |
| 122s | variants will add new dimensions to your loadout options. |
| 125s | For those looking for something truly game-changing, |
| 128s | the Bomb Launcher makes its debut, along with special items |
| 131s | like the Hand Crossbow Revive Bolt, and the Dark Dynamite Satchel. |
| 134s | Each of them offers creative ways to turn the tide in any encounter, |
| 138s | adding a whole new layer of strategy to your Hunts. |
| 146s | Now, let's talk about something we're really excited to share with you: |
| 148s | Bounty Clash, a brand new limited-time game mode. |
| 152s | This mode is designed for those of you looking for quicker, more intense |
| 155s | PvP action. |
| 156s | Bounty Clash brings one bounty token, one compound, 12 players—alone or in teams— |
| 161s | and a 15-minute time limit for an all-out fight to the finish. |
| 164s | You'll spawn in a randomly selected compound with a dead boss target |
| 167s | waiting to be banished. |
| 169s | Extraction points will be nearby and clearly marked on your compass, |
| 172s | adding pressure as you balance offense and defense. |
| 175s | Bring your own hunters and get ready to go |
| 177s | head-to-head in some of your favorite locations, from Mammon's Gulch and Stillwater Bayou, |
| 181s | streamlined for this new experience. |
| 183s | Bounty Clash will be available from October 16th to the 20th, |
| 187s | and every weekend from Friday |
| 188s | to Sunday until the end of Harvest of Ghosts. |
| 191s | We can't wait for you to jump in and try it out. |
| 194s | Don't forget to send us your feedback as we continue to evolve this new game mode. |
| 201s | Speaking of Stillwater Bayou, for those who might have missed it, |
| 204s | we’ve brought back this fan-favorite map with a complete visual overhaul. |
| 207s | The Stillwater Bayou map has been fully restored |
| 210s | and updated with enhanced visuals, lighting, and textures, |
| 213s | giving it a fresh yet eerie feel, while staying true to its roots. |
| 216s | Enjoy diving back into this iconic hunting ground with a whole new look. |
| 220s | The eerie fog and revamped lighting bring a new level of tension |
| 223s | to every mission, making every step through the bayou |
| 225s | more dangerous than ever. |
| 230s | Alongside Harvest of Ghosts, we are also re-releasing |
| 232s | three beloved times of day: Sundown, Sunset, and Foggy. |
| 237s | These have been reworked to create an even more immersive experience. |
| 244s | We've made some improvements to streamline |
| 246s | your experience, both in terms of the UI and overall game stability. |
| 249s | In our last video, we highlighted some of the upcoming improvements |
| 252s | to the equipment flow, making it easier to set up your Hunter loadouts. |
| 255s | We've also standardized a grid view |
| 257s | for the recruit screen to make managing recruits simpler and more intuitive. |
| 261s | This includes additional entries for recruiting free and all hunters |
| 264s | with just one click. |
| 266s | Charms have been reverted to their previous |
| 267s | functionality and can now be placed on any number of weapons once again. |
| 271s | Additionally, we've tackled numerous bugs |
| 273s | to improve stability and overall performance. |
| 276s | For a full breakdown of what’s been fixed, |
| 278s | be sure to check out our patch notes for version 2.1, |
| 280s | once released. |
| 282s | That’s all for now, |
| 283s | Hunters. |
| 283s | We’re thrilled to celebrate spooky season with you, |
| 285s | and we hope you enjoy everything we have in store. |
| 288s | From the Harvest of Ghosts |
| 289s | event to Bounty Clash, and tons of bug fixes and improvements. |
| 292s | There’s plenty to keep you on edge while you hunt. |
| 294s | As always, we deeply appreciate your support and feedback. |
| 297s | Thanks again, and we'll see you in the mountains and in the bayou. |
