Hunt: Showdown is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Crytek in the past years. In the game, the player assumes the role of a bounty hunter who must kill a mythical monster in order to claim the bounty and survive long enough to reach an extraction point. The game receives patches regularly and a while ago a new one showed up. Check out the Hunt Showdown 1.15 update patch notes down below.

Hunt Showdown 1.15 Update Patch Notes

Progression Update

Developer’s note:

This update includes an overhaul of Hunt’s Bloodline and Weapon Progression. Our goal with these changes is to make Progression easier, faster, and more convenient for both new and Prestige players. A note on terminology: a “weapon family” refers to the unlocks of a base item – e.g. the Nagant M1895 family includes the Nagant M1895 Poison Ammo, Nagant M1895 Precision, etc.

Bloodline

All weapon unlocks have been removed from the Bloodline. All base weapons now unlock at Rank 1. Weapon variants and custom ammo are unlocked with XP.
All Tools and Consumables now unlock exclusively through the Bloodline Rank Progression. Tool and Consumable families have been broken up and no longer depend on one another for unlocks.
Hunt Dollar rewards in the Bloodline have roughly doubled.
XP thresholds for Bloodline Ranks have been adjusted, with the overall XP required to reach Bloodline Rank 100 slightly reduced.
To improve visibility, 3 Legendary Weapon skins that were free in the Bloodbond store (Vanguard, Hedera Mortiferum, and Bear’s Tooth) are now Bloodline rewards for reaching Ranks 34, 67, and 100 respectively. These are unlocked the first time you complete the Bloodline Progression.

Developer’s note:

In light of these changes, the unlock order for most items in the Bloodline has been changed. Our approach has been to make key gameplay items and Traits available earlier in the Bloodline. All gameplay items are now unlocked by Rank 64.

XP Balance Changes

XP earned from Hunter kills has been standardized to 450 XP. Previously, XP per kill ranged from 300 to 550 XP, depending on the MMR of the player you killed.
XP awarded from certain AI kills has been increased:
- Grunt: Increased to 20 from 10 XP.
- Hellhound: Increased to 30 from 20 XP.
- Hive: Increased to 60 from 30 XP.
- Immolator: Increased to 60 from 50 XP.
- Meathead: Increased to 300 from 200 XP.
Players no longer share Weapon Progression XP with their teammates.
Excess XP now overflows from one goal to the next. Previously, any XP earned in excess of a goal’s threshold was lost.

Developer’s note:

The changes we’ve made to Progression are balanced with the individual player in mind—increasing XP earned, reducing XP requirements, and ensuring easier access to key unlocks. With this in mind, we opted to remove team-shared weapon XP, both to improve the clarity of Progression and because it compromises the new system’s balancing. We’ll be closely monitoring player feedback and Progression data, considering measures to further assist Progression if needed.

Weapon Family XP

A weapon’s ammo type now determines the amount of XP required for each unlock in its family. As a rule, all unlocks in a weapon family require the same amount of XP.
- Each unlock in a Compact Ammo weapon family requires 450 XP.
- Each unlock in a Medium, Shotgun, and Special Ammo weapon family requires 600 XP.
- Each unlock in a Long Ammo weapon family requires 900 XP.
For weapons with variants of different ammo types, like the Uppercut in the Caldwell Conversion family, the XP required to unlock the Long Ammo variants is that of the new ammo type—in this case, 900 XP.
For weapons which use multiple ammo types, like the LeMat Mark II, the XP required to unlock shotgun Special Ammo remains the same as its primary ammo type—in this case, Compact Ammo, 450 XP.

Developer’s note:

The XP requirements have been rebalanced according to XP awarded for a player kill, 450 XP. This leads to an overall reduction in XP required to unlock the complete family and ensures no unlock is ever more than two kills away. The XP required to unlock all custom ammo and weapon variants has been reduced by 33% across all families combined. This change should make Weapon Progression easier to understand and more accessible, especially for newer players.

Weapon InspectionThe second batch of Weapon Inspect animations is here! This batch includes all rifles and shotguns, as well as their variants and Legendary versions.

Triggering the action can be done by pressing the ‘Weapon Inspect’ input. The default bindings for supported platforms are:

PC – ‘I’ (can be customized like other PC inputs)
XBOX – Y (when the Weapon Wheel is open)
PS – ‘Triangle’ (when the Weapon Wheel is open)

Once triggered, any Inspect animation can be instantly interrupted by most other gameplay actions (aiming, attacking, quick-swap, etc.).

New Controller Behavior

Input CurvesInput curves describe how the stick input is translated to camera rotation. We have added four new options for players to tweak the responsiveness of their aim input. Check the menu for detailed descriptions.

Exponential (New Default)
Steady
Linear
Dynamic

Aim BoostThe way we increase sensitivity when stick input is maxed out has been reworked, and new settings are now available. “Aim Boost” replaces the old “Turning Extra Strength” option, but aims to achieve the same result: to allow for high-turn speeds when needed without compromising carefully tweaked aim behavior.

It is now possible to set the threshold after which Aim Boost is applied.

Aim Boost Threshold

The following settings can be tweaked for each aim stage (Default, Shoulder Aim, Aim Down Sights) separately.

Aim Boost Strength
Aim Boost Delay
Aim Boost Ramp Up Time

DeadzonesInner deadzones can now be adjusted for the left and right stick individually. Adjusting these values can maximize the input value range of a controller and allow for more precise aiming.

Keep in mind that these are hardware-specific settings which should be adjusted for each individual input device. Excessively low values might lead to unwanted input (stick drift).

Select First Melee ToolDouble-clicking “Weapon Switch” ( Y / Triangle) will equip the first melee tool it finds in your inventory (regardless of the slot). If no Knives or Dusters are present, Throwing Knives and Throwing Axes are considered valid options.

Developer’s Note:

This is the first step to make equipment more easily accessible for players. This feature should make it more comfortable to switch back and forth between main weapons and melee tools while moving. It also allows players to assign a less frequently used Tool or Consumable to the quick slot (D-pad) which is usually used for the melee option.

Sprinting BehaviorA setting has been added which prevents a left stick click (L3) from stopping sprinting. In this case, sprinting can only be stopped by reducing movement speed.

VibrationController vibration has been improved, and its strength has been reduced to create better contrast between key and secondary actions. Changes include:

Standardized vibration feedback for firing weapons by ammo type.
Improved and reduced strength of vibration for reloading and cocking of weapons.
Added vibration support to the Bomb Lance, melee weapons, dual wield pistols, and throwables.
Reduced vibration from status effects.
Moved vibration from jump action to landing.
Other minor adjustments to vibration.

TraitsTwo previous Event Traits are returning as permanent Burn Traits. They can now be found in the world, either dropped from Meatheads or by chance as a Trait Spur.

Death Cheat: You will not lose your Hunter if you fail to extract, but equipment and missing Health Chunks will not be restored.
Relentless: Your Hunter will not lose a Health Chunk when downed.

Developer’s Note:

The Traits are not tied to any Pact and will remain after the conclusion of Tide of Desolation. These Burn Traits have low drop rates and will remain exceptionally rare in the bayou.
