The Slate is an improvement on the earlier pump action Spectre 1882 in many ways: the mechanism is simpler meaning it is much smoother in terms of handling. It has an increased rate of fire and a faster reload when compared to the Spectre. The improved mechanism means there is no need for Bulletgruber with this shotgun as it can be topped up without needing to open the slide. The barrel is shorter than the Spectre which means it has an increased spread and recoil, like other shotguns in the arsenal. This increase in spread means it will have lower average damage and a shorter One Hit kill range. Like the Spectre, the Slate can benefit from the Iron Devastator trait allowing you to stay in iron sights during the weapon charge. Developer note: The addition of the second pump-action shotgun to the arsenal means that we now have an alternative to the Spectre. The main drawback we want to highlight with the Spectre is the “clunkiness” that comes with the early implementation of the pump-action mechanism during this time period. The Slate uses a much more modern mechanism which was something we wanted to showcase in the game and use this to determine exactly how the weapon should feel when being used. A good example is the ability to top load the first round directly into the chamber when empty, which allows for quick tactical reloads when in a tight spot.

Hunt Showdown Console Update 1 8 1 Patch Notes
Posted By: Shawn Robinsonon: May 18, 2022In: Gaming, News, PS4, Xbox OneTags: crytek, HuntShowdownNo Comments Print Email Hunt: Showdown has today launched its 1.8.1 update on console platforms, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. You may recall that we’ve already covered these patch notes a few days ago, and that’s because the update came exclusively to PC. Today though, the update is making its way to PlayStation and Xbox platforms, bringing with it some nice changes alongside plenty of bug fixes. Most noteworthy of all is the new quest system, which can score you a nice set of Bloodbonds. There’s plenty more than that though, so without further adieu, here’s everything new with Hunt: Showdown in its 1.8.1 update on consoles!Hunt Showdown Console Update 1 8 1 Patch Notes
Hunt: Showdown Console Update 1.8.1 – New Quest System – “Summons”
This update brings a new Quest system to the Bayou! This feature will replace the Daily and Weekly Challenges and can be found in the progress section under the “Summons” tab. Players will have to complete quests to collect a new reward called “stars” – this is separate from the Trials stars and will have a different symbol. These quests will reset every Monday. Each Quest will reward a number of stars (ranging from 1 to 6) as well as in-game reward (Hunt Dollars/Consumables/Tools/Weapons/etc). Players can progress simultaneously with 2 Quests and can unlocked a 3rd Quest slot with Blood Bonds. Additionally, Hunters can complete each Quest multiple times to collect the stars, but the in-game items will only be unlocked through the first completion. Once you have collected 30 stars, you will earn 25 Bloodbonds. This reward can be claimed once per week. There are currently 5 categories of Quests, which will target different goals/playstyles. Simple Quests: Can be completed by anyone. Rewards 1-2 stars. Core Gameplay Quests: Involves tasks around the core gameplay loop (clues, bosses, and bounties). Rewards 2-3 stars. PvP Quests: PvP focused quests that reward engagement with enemy Hunters. Rewards 3-4 stars. Hardcore Quests: A more complex set of quests aimed at veteran players. Reward 5 stars. Legendary Quests: Involves the use of specific Legendary skins (Hunters or Weapons). Rewards 6 stars. (Please note these Legendary Quests are optional and do not need to be completed in order to earn the required 30 stars per week) Developer’s Note: This new Quest system is designed to be more fun and engaging than the old challenge system. This is not a fully complete feature, meaning we will continue to add more quests, tweak rewards, and otherwise make adjustments where needed. We’re looking forward to your feedback and to see the crazy ways Hunters complete some Quests.AI
We have added two new Grunt variations to the game. Introducing the Pistol Grunt, an AI that carries a broken pistol which causes a loud gunshot sound when it hits a player with a melee attack, and the Lantern Grunt, an AI that carries a lantern. If you are quick enough, this lantern can used by players if you manage to kill the Grunt before you are hit with it. Both variations have been added to the default spawn pools for all three maps.Pistol Grunt
New Grunt AI Variation Wields a rusted broken pistol Will attempt to melee attack hunters with the broken pistol, which causes it to explode and play a loud gunshot sound. Will not discharge a bullet and therefore only deals melee damage. The broken pistol cannot be picked up or used by hunters, and will disappear shortly after its effect has been triggered.Lantern Grunt
New Grunt AI Variation Holds a Lantern, which can be lit or unlit Will attempt to melee attack hunters with the Lantern, breaking the Lantern in the process. If the Lantern is lit, this will create a small fire explosion (similar to throwing a Lantern) If the Lantern is unlit, this will create an oil pool on the ground which can be ignited as per usual Killing the Grunt before they break the Lantern will cause them to drop the Lantern, which can be picked up and used by hunters. Modification to behaviour of Grunts holding weapons When shooting grunts in the arm or on death, they will now drop the weapon they are carrying. For example, Doctor Grunts will drop their poisoned saw and others will drop their torch or cleaver. These weapons are not usable by players. Dropped torches however can ignite oil pools or trigger explosive barrels. However the torches will not harm hunters directly once dropped.Hunt Showdown Console Update 1 8 1 – Weapons
Caldwell 92 New Army
The Caldwell New Army is a new, small slot, compact ammo double action revolver that comes with a 6-round capacity. Overall, this weapon is best compared with the Nagant M1895 Officer, but it also shares some similarities with the Scottfield Model 3. Like the Scottfield, it features a cylinder where all chambers can be accessed without the use of a loading gate, as well as an ejector to get used rounds out quicker. The main difference being that instead of breaking open from the top, the cylinder swings out to the left side of the weapon. This will allow for faster reload times in comparison to other compact revolvers in the arsenal. In gunplay terms, the New Army is best compared with the Nagant officer as both are double action compact ammo pistols. The actual projectile is slightly larger which means its stopping power and range are increased. However, the muzzle velocity of the Nagant office is slightly faster due to it having a tighter seal between the chamber and the barrel. They both have a similar rate of fire, with the New Army being a fraction slower, however in practice, this will be quite negligible, especially when reacquiring your target. This weapon can be dual wielded and benefits from the Ambidextrous trait.Winfield 93 Slate
Introducing the new, large slot, 6-round capacity, pump action shotgun – The Winfield 1893 Slate.The Slate is an improvement on the earlier pump action Spectre 1882 in many ways: the mechanism is simpler meaning it is much smoother in terms of handling. It has an increased rate of fire and a faster reload when compared to the Spectre. The improved mechanism means there is no need for Bulletgruber with this shotgun as it can be topped up without needing to open the slide. The barrel is shorter than the Spectre which means it has an increased spread and recoil, like other shotguns in the arsenal. This increase in spread means it will have lower average damage and a shorter One Hit kill range. Like the Spectre, the Slate can benefit from the Iron Devastator trait allowing you to stay in iron sights during the weapon charge. Developer note: The addition of the second pump-action shotgun to the arsenal means that we now have an alternative to the Spectre. The main drawback we want to highlight with the Spectre is the “clunkiness” that comes with the early implementation of the pump-action mechanism during this time period. The Slate uses a much more modern mechanism which was something we wanted to showcase in the game and use this to determine exactly how the weapon should feel when being used. A good example is the ability to top load the first round directly into the chamber when empty, which allows for quick tactical reloads when in a tight spot.

Hunt Showdown Update 1 8 1 – Gunplay
Brawler Variant Adjustments
Increased Heavy Melee Damage on all Brawler variants to bring them in line with Dusters. Stamina consumption remains unchanged (Dusters are still more efficient).Nitro Custom Ammo Name Adjustment
Renamed the Nitro ‘Dum Dum’ ammo to ‘Shredder’. This is purely a cosmetic change and does not affect gameplay in anyway. Developer Note: The Dum Dum ammo on the Nitro differs from other weapons because it is able to penetrate at least once. We felt it important to better differentiate the two ammo types by adjusting the name. It’s important to mention this does not change the gameplay in any way.Meta

Decreased spawn rate of Golden Cash Registers. Developer’s Note: Due to a bug that caused the spawn rate of the golden cash registers to increase significantly, the spawn rate has been reduced to counteract the negative effects this has had on the Bloodbond economy over the last few months. Golden cash registers will still spawn but they will no longer be as frequent as they have been in recent months.We know that many of you have expressed concerns regarding some of the changes around how Bloodbonds are earned in-game and we have been taking this feedback on board.
