MULTI Hunt: Showdown 1896

AI

• Added a new AI - "Water Devil" to the swamps
  • The Water Devil will predominantly infest parts of the Louisiana Bayou swamps and will react to Hunters entering the water nearby
    
  • Hunters can try to outrun, distract or kill the Water Devils, but don’t get caught up in deep water as this can bring a swift death. Tread carefully.
    
  • It is possible to defeat individual swarms of Water Devils, but eventually a new swarm will take its place in the area; use the moment wisely.

• Bosses will now converge on players that attempt to hide inside the arenas (that corner you thought was safe… won’t be safe anymore).
  
• We have tuned the behavior of the bosses when players are near the arena. This will mean that their movement will be harder to predict ensuring they are less exposed to high damage opening attacks.
  
• The Butcher will now always have his fire throwing ability from the start to better deal with players outside of his reach.
  
• Grunts with torches will now inflict some minor physical damage in addition to setting the Hunter on fire.

Audio

• Audio pass made to the AI cast to improve audio over distances. It should now be easier to determine how far away the AI is from your location
  
• Improvements made to the Hellhound audio. Snapping sound radius has been reduced as this was misleading and giving the impression they were closer than they were.
  
• Based on community feedback, we have reduced the volume of the audio produced on the accolades screen
  
• Further tweaks and adjustments made to audio occlusion to minimize the edge cases where it is possible to hear through the terrain

Gunplay

• Added new "Waxed Dynamite Stick" consumable that detonates in water with a slightly reduced radius but more power.
  
• Added the "Liquid Fire Bomb" consumable that will explode on contact with the water and burn for a few seconds.
  
• Initiating the reload process will no longer cause your hunter to stop sprinting.
  
• The Poison Bomb’s toxic cloud lifetime has been increased to 120 seconds.
  
• The insect swarms from the Hive bomb will now linger for up to 30 seconds before they disperse if they do not find a suitable target.
  
• Increased the damage of the weak and exhausted melee attacks with the Sledgehammers to be more in line with the Wood Axe.
  
• Weak melee damage has been slightly reduced on all handcannons to be more in line with pistols that have an attached buttstock.
  
• Romero 77, Romero 77 Talon, Specter 1882 and the Auto 5 now have a reduced crosshair spread giving them slight more accuracy at range.

Hunters

• Hunters can now vault through windows that contain breakable glass.
  
• Changes to Burning
  • Holding “F” to stop burning will pause the burning process during the duration of the action (releasing the key will cause the effect to continue)
    
  • Standing in fire while holding “F” will not pause the process and you will continue to lose health chunks from burning
    
  • The fire effect will only remain visible on a downed hunter while their health chunks are burning away (no fire on a body means the hunter is fully dead and cannot be revived)
    
  • Downed hunters health chunks will now burn at a slower rate, giving the teammate more time to revive them
    
  • Hunters now need to walk a few meters in the water before the splashes will put out the fire.

• Changes to Bleeding
  • Holding “F” to stop bleeding will now pause the bleed-out process during the duration of the action
    
  • Slightly reduced the distance at which shotguns apply a bleed effect

Performance

• Added sub-groups and additional options for users to configure their graphics quality versus performance in the settings menu.

With this release we are introducing the “Trainee mode” for Hunters up to bloodline rank 15. We believe this will help new players to familiarize themselves with the game, without having the risk of losing Hunters in this process. When your get killed your Hunter will not be gone permanently. After such a scenario, all you need to do is buy the equipment you wish to equip your Hunter with.

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

Trainee Mode

• Safety net added for new players to help them learn the game.
  
• In the first 15 ranks (excluding prestige) your hunters won’t be lost when they get killed in a mission. Instead the dead hunters get reset to the pre-mission status including all gear and health.

• Weapon looting from dead Hunters - When getting downed or killed, Hunters now drop their weapon(s) on the ground.

The Immolator seems to be the most tormented of them all. The smallest movement sends him into a rage, attacking chaotically, and when shot burning even hotter and charging like an angry bull. He is, of course, extinguished in water (and can be fatally consumed by his own internal flames), but otherwise, represents the most intelligent example I have seen. The beast can actually open doors!

Exactly one year ago today, Crytek released their multi player bounty hunting game Hunt: Showdown on Steam Early Access. In that time, the Hunt team has released 16 updates and patches, adding a new map, two new times of day, additional AI, a quick play game mode, challenges, and over a dozen weapons to the game throughout the year. Today the team is celebrating by looking back at everything they have accomplished and kicking off a 30% discount on Steam, running from now until March 4th at 7pm CEST.
