Hunt: Showdown Dev Tracker

The Committed – Coming soon

Henry Monroe was committed first to the asylum to his detriment, then to escape by whatever means necessary.
Now in the bayou, hunting was his only recourse and belied a new commitment: to survive and to spite those who’d caused his suffering.

Hunters,

Hunters,

We will be taking the test servers offline for a brief maintenance @ 14:15 CEST. When it returns, all accounts will be at Rank 100 with 50k Hunt dollars to allow you all to effectively test out the new additions.

~The Hunt team

We added one more item to the notes that was missed yesterday:

Slugs ammo:

-Slightly reduced the damage dealt to the lower torso from Slug rounds.

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!) 😍

New Custom Ammo:

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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).

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).
