New Weapon
Scottfield Model 3 Revolver
New small slot, medium ammo pistol with a 6-round capacity. The Scottfield differs from other revolvers currently available in that it uses a break-open action which allows for faster reloading, this is because of its open cylinder and built-in ejector that can remove all rounds in the cylinder at once.

It uses a slightly shorter round compared to the Caldwell Pax which means its stopping power and range are slightly less in comparison. Since it is a medium bullet its damage and range will still slightly outperform compact pistols.

Ammo types (Custom Ammo)

• Basic - (Ammo – 6/12)
  
• FMJ...

Hunters,

Patch #2 has now been deployed to Update 1.6 on the Test server. The full details can be found below:






Gunplay
Dynamite Changes

• Increased the damage of Dynamite sticks and Waterproof Dynamite Sticks to 750 (previously 500).

Developer Note:

With this update, we are making some changes to the damage from Dynamite sticks and red barrels. This is something we have planned for a while, but with the recent changes to Bulwark, we feel now is the best opportunity to bring this change into play.

This means that you will continue to have that extra protection against Explosive Ammo, but dama... Read more

Hunters,

Springfield 1866/Martini-Henry IC1/Caldwell Uppercut

• Reduced the explosive damage by 30 – 40% depending on the ammo type (Compact, Medium, Long)
  
• Increased Bullet impact damage.
  
• Increased the damage fall off.

Developer notes:

We are introducing these changes as we feel that explosive ammo is not working the way we intended. Initially, we wanted this to be a tool that helped create chaos, allowed you to flush enem... Read more

Hunters,

It is with great pleasure to introcude the 3rd map to come to Hunt: Showdown – Welcome to DeSalle!



DeSalle – map #3
Developer note:
This update brings with it a massive addition, one that we are incredibly excited to bring to you all, our latest map: DeSalle.

Over the last few years, we have learned quite a lot from listening to you, the community, and have always tried to take your suggestions into consideration when making improvements to our maps. The same can be said for the creation and development of DeSalle.

While developing this map, we used the years of feedback that you have all provided to help with our brainstorming proc... Read more

Hunters,

Below are the notes for Update 1.6.

Please be aware, Update 1.6 is going to require a full client download for both the test and live servers. While we understand that a full download can be frustrating ,it is necessary in this instance.

Over the last few months, we have been working on improving many different aspects of Hunt, one of those being a focus on improving our security and internal anti-cheat measures. We have made some changes to the encryption of the pak files in Hunt, and these important changes are the reason why a full client download is required for everyone. We feel 1.6 is the best time to do this as the new map (coming very soon) also requires a large download (around 12GB), so this will allow us to do perform our security updates with as little impact as possible, as well as ensuring mu...
