Hunt Showdown Gets One of the Biggest Updates, Adding New Questlines, Tutorials, and More

wccftech.com:

Today, Crytek announced the availability of Hunt Showdown update 1.12, labeled as one of the biggest patches released to date for the PvPvE first-person extraction shooter game.

First of all, the development team has added two new tutorials to ensure newcomers can more comfortably understand the game's rather hardcore mechanics. The basic tutorial is focused on core elements of Hunt Showdown such as the Dark Sight, gunplay, monsters, et cetera. Voiced by none other than Doug Cockle (the voice actor of The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia), it guides new players through a series of objectives. The first time Hunt Showdown players complete the basic tutorial, they receive a Tier 1 Hunter as well as three additional Hunters with predefined gear and traits. There's also a new advanced tutorial where players need to seek the clues to a boss's location, then defeat the monster and banish it before escaping from the map with their reward.

Update 1.12 also expands Hunt Showdown with two new questlines called The Ward of the Reptilian and Vengeance of the Skinned. The first one is actually available right now until May 1st, while the second questline is said to open up soon. Each questline is divided into six acts that provide different activities and rewards, such as:

Act 1 – Legendary Dusters "Monongahela Bruiser"

Act 2 – Winfield M1876 Centennial Short (Weapon Unlock)

Act 3 – Legendary Scottfield Model 3 Precision "Somber Gale"
