Hunt: Showdown reveals performance boost and two new guns

📱

The next patch for Hunt: Showdown is now available to try out on test servers. The multiplayer survival game’s 1.8 update includes some much-needed performance fixes that have been hit despite several hotfixes since the November update 1.7 arrived. The test server also has two new weapons and weapon variants to try out – although these won’t come with patch 1.8.

The first of the two new guns was the Winfield 1893 Slate, a six-shot pump-action shotgun with some improvements over the 1882 Spectre. It has a simpler mechanism for smoother operation and the ability to refill ammo without opening the slider. However, it has a shorter barrel, so it has more recoil, more spread, and lower average damage. If you want one-hit kills, you’ll want to get up close and personal with this stick.

The second new weapon is the Caldwell 92 Freshman Double Action Revolver. It uses compact ammunition and holds six rounds in the cylinder, which swings to the left for faster reload time compared to the similar Nagant M1895 Officer or Scottfield Model 3.

However, these will come to live servers sometime after update 1.8 is released. Developer Crytek explained that the patch itself is service-oriented and aimed at addressing some persistent performance issues with Hunt: Showdown since the last major update.

Crytek said it made several improvements on the server side to reduce processing overhead, such as reducing the amount of resources used by idle enemy AIs. This means there may be a slight delay in how quickly they react, but the overall result should be better performance.

The studio is also continuing to work on the way Hunt: Showdown interacts with the Steam API, reducing the number of calls to the game to further improve performance.

In addition to several other fixes, Crytek has made some tweaks to the textures of the DLC Hunter Cain. His “natural” appearance made him difficult to spot against the muddy brown background of the estuary.

The Hunt: Showdown test server can be accessed through a separate installation from the Steam library.
