Developer Crytek has kicked off the new Tide of Shadows live event for its PvPvE shooter Hunt: Showdown. The event, currently available on PC, brings with it new challenges, gameplay, weapons, story, and a new boss. The Tide of Shadows event will be available until August 23.
The biggest feature of the new update is the addition of a new boss category. Dubbed Wild Targets, the first boss in the category is Rotjaw, who hangs out in the waters of the Bayou rather than inside a compound like other bosses in the game.
The event also brings with it three new pacts—Primal Pact, Smuggler Pact, and Grounded Pact. Each pact brings with it a host of new lore, along with new legendary weapons and equipment associated with the factions.
Players can unlock rewards from the event by earning Event Points, which is done by completing in-game challenges and interacting with, or destroying Ship Alters all over the Bayou. Players can make use of single-use Burn Traits during the event to give them an extra boost in capabilities.
Tide of Shadows is slated to come to the console versions of Hunt: Showdown at a later date.
