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 1.16.1 update patch notes down below.

Retirement

Developer’s note:
In Update 1.16, we reduced the Bloodline XP rewards for Hunter retirement significantly—we acknowledge your frustrations with this change. With more available data and a better understanding of the implications to the Live Environment, we’ve decided to increase the XP reward to be more in line with the updated threshold for retirement. Retiring Hunters is still more difficult, but should be worthwhile pursuing again.
