We're Live! Come join us as we take a look at what is coming with Update 1.5.2 and future matchmaking improvements. https://www.twitch.tv/crytek https://www.youtube.com/Huntshowdown https://www.facebook.com/huntshowdown http://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1HkPfTUUAAxM2s.jpg

Hunters, The Test servers are now live. This update brings some new additions to custom ammo as well as some changes to small/medium Shotguns. Check out the full details of the update here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/770720/announcements/detail/3073121495243983411 Happy Test Hunting!

Update highlights - Crown & King Auto-5 balance pass: -Increased sway when aiming down sights. -Slightly reduced rate of fire (but not too much to reduce its semi-auto feel).

Flechette Ammo changes: -Can now one-hit-kill (OHK) if enough pellets connect with the head (9m for long/medium barrel shotguns, 8m for small barrel).

Dum-Dum (Nitro Express) Ammo Changes: -Increased the OHK range for the Nitro express Dum-Dum with Upper torso shots (extended kill range of 15m).

Consistency pass to all medium and short-barrel shotguns: -Adjustments made to make these weapons more reliable and less prone to encounter odd RNG behavior at longer ranges. -Changes do not apply to the Romero Handcannon and Romero Hatchet.

Bolt action logic: -We have made some changes to the reload logic tied to some of our Bolt-action Weapons. -Lebel and Mosin would usually lose a bullet when reloading (if you do not have the Bulletgrubber trait). Now, you will no longer lose the bullet if you reload right

Anti-Crouch Spam: -Hunters will now briefly suffer a movement speed penalty if they crouch too many times in a very short space of time. -Spacing the crouches to every other second will not trigger this penalty.

New Custom Ammo: -Penny Shot: Rival 78, Specter 1882 -Explosive: Caldwell Uppercut -Slug: Winfield 1887 Terminus, C&K Auto-5 -FMJ: Sparks LRR

New Weapon Variant: -Winfield Centennial Sniper 3 Year Anniversary Weapon Skin Contest Winner: -“Bears Tooth” Legendary Mosin Nagant M1891 -Added for 0 Blood Bonds (just claim it in the store!) 😍

@88Pancake @Crytek That is really cool 🙌

@RolandN48412900 Will brighten your days in the bayou 😇

@Rick6Grimes The exact date is dependant on many factors. However, it is currently planned to go live in the coming days.

@PBandJCleric That sounds horrifying 😈

The only sound more satisfying than headshots 👌 https://twitter.com/MazzzieMatt/status/1524233667836583936

@MazzzieMatt Well played 👏

Check out our developer live stream highlight reflecting on the service issues that occurred with update 1.8! 👇 While we do not have an ETA for 1.8.1 going live, it is planned to arrive in the coming days/week. https://youtu.be/8o_QoLFq0Vs http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSe9ufAXsAgbNQT.jpg

We wanted to let you know that since the Live Stream the mentioned Ladder Exploit has been FIXED and ready to be released with the coming update 1.8.1!

@TheSymbolman It should not affect your gameplay. We are working on a longer-term fix as well, but our current bandaid fix will completely eliminate the problem from a player's perspective, with no noticeable downsides.
