New weapon Spawns
  • Added a chance for the Caldwell Conversion Uppercut and the Sparks Pistol to the Tower and world spawns.

Progression changes
  • Caldwell Pax unlocks at Rank 30 (previously Rank 58)
  • Sparks LRR unlocks at Rank 32 (previously Rank 30)
  • Deception category unlocks at Rank 1 (previously rank 32)

Developer Note:

After the recent changes with Update 1.10, moving some of the more competitive choices to an earlier point in the progression pushed some items further through the unlock progression. The Pax was one item that fell victim to this. Based on feedback from the community, we have decided to move the Pax to an ...

Hunters,

The test server will be taken offline for maintenance at 15:00 CET. During this time we will be deploying a small update to address some bugs and apply some balancing changes to the new weapons.

We will post again when the servers are back online.

Thanks.

Hunters,

1.8 will primarily be a service focused update. With this, we are introducing some tentative client and server performance fixes in the hope of alleviating some of the performance issues that have been encountered since Update 1.7.

We know there is a chance these will not be the magic bullet to resolve all performance related problems but we are hoping it is a step in the right direction.

This test phase is very important for us as we need to ensure these improvements do help, and not cause further problems before we bring this update to the live servers.

This update will also include a number of changes and improvements across all maps, new tier 2 weapon lobby animations, changes to Cain and how he blends with the environment as well as some fixes to the first person view of certain hunter... Read more

Hunters,

Below are the details of Update 1.7:




Reconnect Support
Update 1.7 brings with it the introduction of the Reconnect feature – the ability to reconnect to a Bounty Hunt mission in cases where your connection has been lost or the game has crashed. There are two ways in which this will attempt to restore the connection:


  • “On the Fly” 60 second reconnect:
    • In instances where you lose connection to the server, but the game client is still running, we will attempt to restore the connection and get you back into the mission.
  • Game client crash/client restart/kick to main menu r...

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...

Hunters,

Below are the details for patch #1 of Update 1.6. As a side note, Quickplay has also been enabled on test:




Gunplay
Explosive Ammo:
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,

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...

Hunters,

Update 1.5.2 is here. Below are the notes for this round of tests. Happy test hunting!



Audio
  • Hunters will now make noise when damaged by poison effects such as clouds (poison bolts etc) and the Hive swarms.

AI
  • “Doctor Grunts” will now drop unusable medkits if they are damaged by explosives or fire. This is to bring it more in line with Scrapbeak (explosive custom ammo has been excluded and will not cause this effect).
  • The weapons held by Scrapbeak now have the correct sounds and damage types applied.

Hey everyone,

The feedback you have all been giving us so far is really awesome. I have gone through a lot of the threads already created and we have been able to gather some really useful feedback, so thank you all for taking the time to test out the ammo and give us your thoughts.

In order to be able to get a quick overview of as much of the feedback as possible, I wanted to test out having this sticky thread so that we can make it a lot easier to gather the relevent feedback. So here is what I am thinking. Make bullet points of the ammo types you have tried and give very brief details of what you think (1-2 sentences max).

for example:
Poision:
-
-

Incendiary:

Please keep it to the format outlined above. More detailed feedback can be posted as a regular threead in the forums. The sole purpose of this thread is to gather the main points in one place so it i... Read more
