Weapon permanence in Hunt: Showdown forces players to manage an economy in between excursions into the bayou. Every item in the game comes at a price, and it's not difficult to end up strapped for cash. Buying effective loadouts on a tight budget can be tricky, but there are plenty of weapon combinations available for players who only have a couple thousand Hunt Dollars in the bank.

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.

The latest update for Hunt: Showdown, version 1.8.1, has just arrived on PC, and is bringing a handful of new content to the bayou. 1.8.1 will come to consoles shortly, with the update on track to arrive on PlayStation and Xbox sometime in the next couple weeks.

The battle royale genre has had a meteoric rise in popularity over the last few years, but Hunt: Showdown has quietly offered a contender for the top spot.

It has the benefit of offering plenty of incentives to players, while bringing a wholly unique BR experience to the table.

The first-person shooter set in the late 19th century Louisiana bayou, Hunt: Showdown, is playable on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, but does it crossplay? The game is almost entirely online aside from a series of single-player trials designed to hone certain skills before tracking down one of Hunt: Showdown's four bosses, and crossplay has become increasingly common in live service multiplayer games. Cross-platform play in Hunt is possible, but is extremely limited, and doesn't ultimately have as much functionality as other popular games.

The holidays are being celebrated in the bayou with a special Winter Solstice event in Hunt: Showdown that should yield ample rewards for those who participate. This year's Winter Solstice event allows players a chance to earn legendary skins through a variety of ways, most of which promote simply playing the game as intended. This new Winter Solstice even for Hunt mirrors past events, though there are some important changes, which may effect how easily some players are able to attain the rewards for playing.

A live-action series adaptation of the video game Hunt: Showdown is now in development. Hunt: Showdown is a first-person shooter that originally launched on Steam in early 2018.

Map changes, new and reworked traits, and a new weapon will all be coming to Hunt: Showdown when version 1.7 launches.
