Hunt Showdown Update 1.13 Patch Notes
New Feature – Shooting Range
This update introduces the Shooting Range, a new space for players to test their loadouts. It also provides a safe environment to get accustomed to Hunt’s unique gunplay, alone or with a party of friends.
The Shooting Range takes players to a repurposed version of Fort Carmick, where they can find a collection of weapons, consumables, and traits to try out. The Shooting Range has 5 main areas: short, medium, and long-range shooting galleries, a throwables testing space, and a projectile penetration testing space.
Gameplay Features
The Shooting Range adds a series of new gameplay features to help players better test and understand Hunt’s arsenal:
Target Dummies
-
The range is populated with custom dummies for players to test their loadouts on. These dummies represent actual Hunters: they have 150 Health Points and suffer from status effects just like regular Hunters. When downed, these dummies reset after 3 seconds.
- These dummies are also visible in Dark Sight, to help players locate targets at further ranges.
- Floating Damage Indicators
Only in the Shooting Range, all damage dealt by players to dummies is represented with a floating damage indicator. These floating numbers spawn at the impact location of a projectile or, in the case of status effect-induced damage, are centered on the target. The indicators are colored to distinguish between standard damage and damage dealt by status effects.
-
Ping Range Indicator
Players can gauge distances in the Shooting Range using the ping function. This displays a range indicator from their current position to the ping marker's position. Teammates' ping markers also have range indicators.
-
Custom Respawn Options
- When downed in the Shooting Range, players always have 2 options to revive themselves: either by Reviving in place, with fully restored health, or by Respawning, which will take the player to a safe location nearby with fully restored health and a replenished inventory.
-
Multiplayer Options
- Players can join the Shooting Range with a group of up to 3 players. They can either join as a team, in which case they deal only partial damage to one another, can see each other’s outlines, and have access to teamplay features, or they can join as solo players, in which case full damage is dealt and players are unable to be revived by others, also becoming lootable.
- Whatever happens in the Shooting Range stays in the Shooting Range—none of the kills, deaths, or weapons picked up or dropped will be carried over to the rest of Hunt. The Shooting Range is a purpose-built sandbox for players to experiment in and hopefully gain a better understanding of Hunt’s unique gameplay.

Quickplay: now named Soul Survivor
We are rebranding Hunt's solo-player only game mode to be named Soul Survivor. We feel this is a more fitting name, and also helps position it better as a separate mode compared to Bounty Hunt.
In Soul Survivor, players spawn with a free Hunter and some basic starting gear and must close Rifts found on the map (similar to Clues in Bounty Hunt). Players can find new weapons and equipment in the world to gear up their Hunter.
The first player to close the fourth Rift will become the Wellspring Carrier, revealing their location to all other players. The longer the Wellspring Carrier stays alive, the higher their guaranteed reward. If another Hunter kills the Carrier, they become the new Carrier.
Article continues below advertisement
The person who is Wellspring Carrier when the timer runs out will keep their Hunter with all the gear and XP they earned during the round. These Soul Survivors can be recruited into your roster for free to be used in Bounty Hunt.
Soul Survivor is a great way to earn some Hunt Dollars along the way with the chance to earn a free, well-equipped Hunter, if you win. Waiting for your friends to come online? Maybe do a few rounds of Soul Survivor to warm-up beforehand!
Gendral Updates
Audio
-
Distant explosions should now better represent the size and severity of the explosion.
-
Reduced the amount of reverb on distant explosions.
- Improved audio design for Hunter movement in water.

Ammo Supply Rework
For 1.13, we have reworked how resupplying ammunition works. The amount you resupply from ammo sources is now a fixed amount per ammo type carried. The previous resupply ruleset worked by resupplying you with a percentage of the total extra amount you could carry, which was an inconsistent and sometimes confusing system which caused multiple issues.
By moving to a fixed resupply amount, we have decoupled a gun's extra ammo amount from the amount it gets resupplied. This means there is no increase in the amount of ammo resupplied when equipping two weapons of the same ammo type.
Ammo Crates
The following numbers are the fixed amounts per ammo type you will receive when resupplying from regular ammo crates.

- Compact Ammo: 8
- Medium Ammo: 4
- Long Ammo: 2
- Shotgun Ammo: 2
Special Ammo Crates
These are the amounts you will receive when resupplying from special ammo crates.
- Special Compact Ammo: 8
- Special Medium Ammo: 4
- Special Long Ammo: 2
- Special Shotgun Ammo: 2
- Arrows: 3
- Compact Bolts: 3
- Bolts: 2
- Nitro Express Ammo: 1
- Dolch Ammo: 3
- Bomb Lance Ammo: 2

Ammo Box (Consumable)
These are the amounts of ammo you will receive when resupplying from an Ammo Box. We have increased these amounts quite a bit, so the Ammo Box offers more value when equipping them in your loadout. Rounded-up, Hunters receive about 2.5x the ammo from ammo crates you can find in the world.
- Compact Ammo: 20
- Special Compact Ammo: 20
- Medium Ammo: 10
- Special Medium Ammo: 10
- Long Ammo: 5
- Special Long Ammo: 5
- Shotgun Ammo: 5
- Special Shotgun Ammo: 5
- Arrows: 7

Originally, development for Hunt: Showdown began at Crytek USA, with the intention of creating a spiritual successor to the Darksiders series, a franchise developed by their predecessor, Vigil Games. Titled "Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age," the game was initially envisioned as a cooperative multiplayer experience. However, due to financial difficulties, Crytek USA was closed down, and development was subsequently transferred to Crytek's headquarters in Germany.
Under the new title of Hunt: Showdown, the game was reintroduced in May 2017, taking on a competitive multiplayer approach. Players are not only pitted against fearsome creatures but also engage in combat with other players in a vast map that resembles an open world. Combining player versus player encounters with challenges posed by artificial intelligence-controlled enemies, Hunt: Showdown offers a unique and exhilarating gameplay loop.
