Hunters,

Welcome to the Test Servers for Update 1.4.3!
As always, feel free to reach out to us and tell us how you feel about the upcoming changes.

Please take your time and read the changelog below.



New Weapon Variants

• Winfield M1873C Vandal
  
• Winfield M1873C Vandal Deadeye

The Vandals are shortened Winfield M1873 C variants with 1 less bullet and only medium size. They can still be used for levering.

Developer Notes:
Why Vandal and not Mare's Leg? Mare’s Leg is an anachronistic name for 1895, a name which came into use in 1958. So while we took inspiration from the more modern weapon, we created our universe’s own version – one that would be right at home in 1895.

New Legendary Content
"Winfield Vandal Gold Rush"

• Winfield M1873 C Vandal
  
• Description: "When the law caught up with felon-turned-prospector John Wright, he fled his Oregon hide out with nothing more than this gold-veined Winfield Vandal - made to celebrate his very first lucky strike. Wielding it, he fought his way south, lured by more glory and gold."

"Nagant Silencer Mosquito"

• Nagant M1895 Silencer
  
• Description: "Silence is golden – a truism for any Hunters whose wealth was earned through stealth – and the silent sting of this brass-inlaid Nagant 1895 Silencer strikes like a swarm of deadly insects, especially when dual wielded by Hunter duos and trios."

"Mosin Nagant Obrez Sinners Jezail"

• Mosin-Nagant M1891 Obrez
  
• Description: "The Sinners’ brought far-flung customs to the bayou, and this Mosin-Nagant Obrez (not a typical rifle of the Afghan foothills) bears refined witness to that union of martial cultures."

"Lemat Mark II Last Resort"

• Lemat Mark II
  
• Description: "Adorned with a symbol of its carrier’s uncanny ability to survive the most bleak landscapes and apocalyptic situations, this resilient LeMat can transform a last stand into a ghastly victory. "

New Trials (PvE)
Lawson Delta Parkour

• Out of Their Misery - Godard Docks - Watch your steps and do not make too much noise dealing with the Hives.
  
• Finish the Farce - C&A Lumber - Try not to burn down all of C&A Lumber as you clear your path through the Armoreds against the clock.

Sniper

• Lightning Does the Work - Arden Parish - Prioritize the closer targets for maximum efficiency. The further away ones might take more than one shot to die.

Waves

• Flesh of My Flesh - Salters Pork - Plan your traversal wisely as you chase down targets to not attract too many Hives at once.
  
• Truth Doesn't Stick to Possibilities - Windy Run - Be sure to use the Immolators to your advantage by igniting oil and Hellhounds to earn your stars.
  
• Never Walk Back - Hemlock and Hide - Don't let the Armoreds overwhelm you as you force your way through and take them out one by one.

Hunters,

We are currently investigating some of the issues you may have faced in the past few weeks.

If you are facing permanent poison effect, stutter, getting stuck after vaulting or “ghost bug” issues, please reach out to one of our Discord moderators or Community Managers and provide a game.log (found in Hunt’s Test Server installation folder) as well as supporting information such as your Steam name or Time the issue happened, to help us investigate the cause of these problems.

If you experience a crash without the bug reporter, please check your %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps folder for hunt dumps.

If you can provide additional gameplay footage of the mentioned issues we would be thankful.
