How To Track Players Through Clues In Hunt: Showdown
Bounty Hunt, the main game mode in Hunt: Showdown, requires players to collect three Clues in order to determine the location of a boss, but understanding the secondary mechanics of the Clues can be beneficial in the game's PvP aspects.

Every Clue that is investigated will darken a portion of the map, eliminating certain Compounds from the list of possible boss locations. Two Clues can be taken from a single Compound only if the first Clue taken there doesn't darken that Compound's portion of the map.
