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 2.3 update patch notes down below.
Hunt Showdown 2.3 Update Patch Notes
Garden of the Witch
Cursed nature and corrupted metal clash as new Hunters join the fray. The Bruja duo have seen their healing plants cursed and their cures fail as Corruption has poisoned the very soil. The Welders feel their minds altered and bent by the blood-soaked metal brought their way. Each fights the Corruption with their own strengths: the Brujas with organic mysticism, the Welders with industrial occult practices and fire.
Event-Exclusive Sealed Scarce Traits
Garden of the Witch introduces Event-exclusive Traits. These are selected from past Events and are only available by spending Pledge Marks in-Mission for the duration of the Event and will be removed once Garden of the Witch concludes. They have a chance of spawning where other Sealed Traits can spawn, and there will always be one that spawns randomly at the Rare Supply.
Event-exclusive Scarce Traits: Blademancer, Corpse Seer, Gunrunner
Rare Supply
Rewards that appeared in past Events at the Sealed Hoard are now on the move at a new type of Supply Point called the Rare Supply. These rewards appear together at various locations and are marked by black canvas and with a unique map icon. There is always one Rare Supply per Mission.
The following Sealed Items are guaranteed at the Rare Supply:
- Sealed Bounty Token (with a chance)
- Master Clue
- Full Restoration Kit
- 1 Random Event-exclusive Sealed Scarce Trait
Additionally, the Rare Supply will also always feature the following Sealed rewards, all of which can also be found randomly across Supply Points, arsenals, and watch towers in the world:
- Four Shot Boon
- Experience Boon
- Dark Sight Boon
- Sealed Cash Register
- Sealed Ammo and Tools
Pledge Mark Mechanics
Hunters are able to carry up to 6 Pledge Marks at a time. Pledge Marks are earned by performing the following actions:
- 1 PM per 25 Event Points collected
- 2 PMs for Banishing the Boss Target in Bounty Clash
- 3 PMs for becoming the Soul Survivor
Stealing Mechanics:
When looting a Hunter, you steal their Pledge Marks up to a maximum of 6 total. The looted Hunter loses any Pledge Marks stolen, but can retain some if the looting Hunter reaches their maximum amount (6 PMs) in the process.

New Equipment

- Subsonic Ammo – Special Ammo – 7+1/21

- Incendiary Ammo – Special Ammo – 5/10

Gunplay

Dev note: In recent updates, we have undervalued the effect of stealth on Traits, weapons, and Tools. With Update 2.3, we want to increase the cost of silence, and make sure the advantage it grants is counterbalanced appropriately.
Hand Crossbow Revive Bolts
- Hand Crossbow Revive Bolt ammo has been removed. All instances have been removed from player and Hunter inventories as well as loadouts. Any purchased instances of Revive Bolts have been refunded.
Dev note: Based on internal playtesting of a reworked version the Revive Bolt, we feel that it isn’t meeting our expectations, and that it’s currently best to remove the ammo type. We’ll continue exploring options for providing players with more support-based items.

Gameplay
General
- Reduced systemic delay of shot and damage messages between Client and Server
- Lowered general allowed timeout for hit validation from 800ms to 450ms
Dev Note: After the improvements to kill trading, we continue our efforts to improve the networked fighting experience. This was made possible by the reduction of systemic delays when sending these messages. With this change we aim to improve the situation of receiving damage behind cover with a large delay or similar. These situations will still happen, but the worst-case delay is significantly decreased. We will continue to monitor our data related to this closely and check for required adjustments.
