Developer Insight – Tips for Hunt Dollars

by Cry_Ari

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30897473/28f2bea86bc945525cb1483c1f26f9c502b4ae5c.jpg Hunters, It's no secret that Hunt wants to challenge you and push players to their limits, and we often see members of the community looking for hints, tips, and tricks for how to improve their game. So today, we wanted to explore a new style of Developer Insight, sharing insider tips from our developers, mods, and Hunt Partners! First up—a subject that comes around all the time—what are our favorite ways to earn and save Hunt Dollars? Let's start with the basics from one of our resident Community Managers, Gustavo: Soul Survival is a great mode if you want to make some extra dollars. You can get Hunters and equipment for free, and even if you die then you still earn some Hunt Dollars. You can always recruit Free Hunters in Bounty Hunt. Every free Hunter comes with a contraband First Aid Kit and Melee weapon, so no need to buy them twice. Even if you don't plan to use the Hunter, you can still take their equipment...

Developer Insight - Temporary Measures to High Ping Separation

by Cry_Ari

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30897473/07f72cd85466f74faffe561322537344ec46b7c1.jpg Hunters, Today we wanted to share an update around the high ping separation for matchmaking that we began trialing back in March. This system was always intended to develop over time as we observed the impact of our changes and worked to refine them, and recently you may have noticed there have been some issues with recent iterations. We wanted to share some insights into what changes we have made so far, as well as what the future looks like for matchmaking. We can confirm that we have made the decision to temporarily disable the current ping limit system within matchmaking. We are looking to restore an updated version as soon as possible. While we cannot give an exact timeframe at the moment, we are investigating fixes for this issue as a priority. We found that the ping separation system in place inadvertently created an issue where players who would normally have high ping were still able to enter into matchma...

The Book of Weapons Arrives to Mythos

by CRY_IM

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30897473/ca8c3b44e62085ecf11406a38cec89838e7e2af1.jpg Today we are thrilled to announce the addition of all legacy Book of Weapons text to Mythos, Hunt: Showdown 1896’s online lore hub.   The Book of Weapons shines a shaky light on the darkest spider-webbed corners of the Corruption, exploring terrible ways the Sculptor’s influence can assert itself over the softest tissues of our minds. The alleged truths revealed in each story are something that, much like the cold terror that grips the hearts of the bayou and gulch, are more often felt than seen.   Tell me, Hunter, when you are reading of the time Lynch conducted a grisly ritual to formulate the inoculation, do you believe every word, or do you hold tight to the presence of potential falsehoods?  When you recount the story of how Mara Cranston discovered her familial tie to the Meathead, does it make you wonder how far the Corruption can seep into our minds, our bodies, our very souls? Or does it leave you under t...

The Bruja duo have seen their healing plants cursed and their cures fail as Corruption has poisoned the very soil. The Welders feel their minds altered and bent by the blood-soaked metal brought their way. Each fights the Corruption with their own strengths: the Brujas with organic mysticism, the Welders with industrial occult practices and fire.
