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 2.2.1 update patch notes down below.

Hunt Showdown 2.2.1 Update Patch Notes

Gameplay

• Bounty Clash AI update
  • Removed Immolator, Hive, Meathead, and Hellhound spawns
  • Added Grunt spawns inside compounds
  • Reduced overall AI spawn rate
• Reduced the inflicted melee damage when pulling stuck projectiles out of Hunters (from 70 to 14 for upper torso)
  • The amount of damage to other body parts differs based on hit location, but is generally even lower
  • While much reduced in effectiveness, the Blademancer Trait may still help finish off Hunters that are very low on health

VOIP Improvements

• Team Communications now included when using all / proximity chat
• The muted mic icon no longer auto-hides, providing better clarity about the muted state
• The system now respects the muted state set in the options when joining a game and cycling through voice channels
• A new “Toggle” state has been added to clearly differentiate between continuous and toggle behavior, both in-game and in the menu.
• Fixed an issue where the muted team voice Input option was not being respected in the menu.
• Resolved an issue where the Vivox Push To Talk state was incorrectly set to active on game launch for PC.
• The last toggle state is now stored as an attribute and reinstated on game start.
• Addressed a stalling issue by preventing the Mute All option state from being saved to a file during gameplay input.

Developer Note: We´re excited to launch the new VOIP system, enhancing in-game communication. Your feedback has been essential, and we’re committed to ongoing improvements in future updates. Thanks for being a part of this journey!
