It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since Crytek unleashed their PvPvE FPS Hunt: Showdown onto the masses. Well, just in case you need reminding, Crytek is in celebration mode for the game’s sixth anniversary, celebrating with Twitch Drops that offer an array of rewards, including some much-requested Legendary Hunters from previous Drops.
In a new press release, Crytek also recaps the recent big events for Hunt: Showdown. Going into its sixth year, the game broke its concurrent user (or CCU) record with the addition of the monstrous alligator Rotjaw during the Tide of Shadows Event. To date, millions of players have hunted in the bayou. The year’s trilogy of Events came with three new Wildcard Conditions: Thundershower, Ash Bloom, and Dark Inferno, each pushing Hunters to change up their tactics as they fought through heavy rain, blankets of ashen fog, and walls of raging flames.
“After continuing to break its own CCU records, Hunt has had an incredible year,” says David Fifield, General Manager of Hunt: Showdown. “We introduced our first Wild Target and multiple new Wildcard Conditions, and we continued to push the boundaries with exciting gameplay elements via new Pact Traits and weapons. We look very forward to the future and what it has in store for our community—we’ve got a new Map biome on the way, as well as the much-anticipated Gen 9 upgrade.”
As mentioned, to celebrate the anniversary, players will be able to get their hands on an array of rewards between February 23rd and March 1st, including one Legendary Hunter from previous Twitch Drops
campaigns like Lulu, Kill Buyer, Umpire’s Bane, and more. It’ll even be possible to get the ultra-rare Legendary Hunter Bad Hand, who was previously only available through the luck-of-the-draw Dark Tribute feature in-game.
