Back in October, we shared details of upcoming hit validation and trade window improvements that went live with Update 2.2. Since the changes have been allowed to play out in a live environment, we wanted to circle back with an overview of the results and improvements observed so far.
To recap, we adjusted the specific time limit for how long a player can still shoot or land a hit after death from 800 to 75 milliseconds. Our goal was to fine tune the system to create a fairer and more consistent ecosystem for everyone, prioritizing player reaction times over external factors like connection speed.

Now to the results:

Kill Trades VS Total Player Kills:



One of the key metrics we’ve been closely monitoring since rolling out the trade window adjustment is the percentage of kills that qualify as "Trade." A kill trade specifically occurs... Read more

Happy new year, Hunters!

To kick off 2025, we wanted to share a little more insight into what we have planned for the start of the year. We will be beginning by focusing on quality-of-life improvements and bug fixing as we look to improve the overall gameplay experience of Hunt.

We have looked at some of the most severe bugs that currently exist, along with some of the most frequently reported, and more. While this is far from an exhaustive list of everything coming, here’s a brief list of just some of key fixes that you can expect for early 2025:
