Update and free weekend in Hunt: Showdown

Crytek has released a major update for its dark action game, where squads of heroes fight among themselves and at the same time exterminate all sorts of evil. Now the name of the game is complemented by the number 1896 - this is an indication of the very year when the events of the shooter unfold. Also added a map of a square kilometer, as well as equipment, monsters and many other objects. Not to mention that access to Hunt for a while made free for all comers. We tell you what you should pay attention to first of all.

The map "Mammon's Gap" became the fourth in the roster. It is conditionally divided into 16 locations with a unique design of each - the developers emphasize the "Gas Plant", "Preston Oil", "End Station" and "Grizzly Den". Also in the central part you can go down into the mines and go through tunnels to the far corners of this area. Separately, it is worth noting that here gamers will find animals that were not previously in the game. The next innovation was the arsenal replenishment: shooters get at their disposal a carbine of 1865, lever-action Winfield rifle in the modifications "Musket" and "Sniper", and also crossbow "Apt Eye" - there are several types of bolts for it.

Weekly trials have also been finalized: each one is given to pass only once, they are available for all users, regardless of level, and appear now in the form of fixed sets - there will be no permutations. At the crosshairs in the settings appeared two parameters: those who are used to the position just below the middle of the screen, free to leave the previous version, and who wants to strictly in the center, as in most online fighters, he will get such a sight by default. Technical edits touched on ballistics, damage multipliers and interface optimization. Shotguns finally reduced the spread - good news for fans of loud firing. Any Steam user can play for free and evaluate all the changes - the promotion is valid until August 19.
